On Gibbens Street, we wanted to preserve this tree, but also make a safe and accessible sidewalk; so we choose to bump out the sidewalk at this location. 🌳

Today's hard rain highlights the importance of rain gardens. Reminder to come to Aeronaut Wednesday for Streetwise to hear Brian Postlewaite wax poetic about rain gardens for climate resilience and safe streets. @finitealright.bsky.social @dogbiking.bsky.social @cityofsomerville.bsky.social
