Official Text

That the Executive Director of the Office of Strategic Planning and Community Development (Transportation and Infrastructure) and/or the Director of Communications request that MassDOT, or other appropriate agencies, add a "Businesses are Open" for Ball Square on all signs in and outside of Somerville. The signs in Medford state that Ball Square is closed and businesses (like Lyndell’s) which have many customers from outside the city are being financially harmed by this misinformation.
