This is a community map of East Somerville, located just northwest of Boston. Where are the community gardens? Do the bus stops have benches or shelters? What intersections have more foot traffic at different times in the day? Take a look at East Somerville through the eyes and ears of people who live here.
The Making of the Map
During the summer of 2005, Somerville Community Corporation worked with a team of interns and community members to collect data and information about East Somerville. This information was then incorporated into a large, 5'x6' map, which has now been turned into this on-line map, in order to tell a story about East Somerville. The goal is to encourage others to interact with the map and each other as they identify what's important, what action steps can we take, as a community, to preserve the good, and change the bad?
