Connect with the Mayor, city officials, and neighbors over free pizza, refreshments, and kids’
activities at Trum Field playground
SOMERVILLE- Mayor Katjana Ballantyne, Ward 5 Councilor Naima Sait, and the City Council invite Somerville
community members to the Ward 5 “Slice of the City” meet-up event on Monday, July 22, at Trum Field playground (1 Franey Road at Cedar Street), from 5 to 7 p.m. This event was originally scheduled for Thursday, May 16, but was postponed due to weather.
The Ward 5 event wraps up the debut of “Slice of the City,” a series of family-friendly pizza parties
in the parks that offer attendees a new way to connect and engage with city leaders and staff as well as neighbors, all while enjoying Somerville’s parks.
Staff on hand will be happy to discuss neighborhood projects, City programs and services, questions
or concerns, or your favorite pizza topping. Additional refreshments and activities for children will be provided.
Each “Slice of the City” event prioritizes inclusivity and accessibility, with language assistance
available through the SomerViva Office of Immigrant Affairs and accommodations for seniors and individuals with mobility needs.

” Staff on hand to answer any questions ” Because the Mayor cannot? Community input in this city is a complete waste of time since no-one is listened to unless it is something the Mayor agrees with.
It is used to hear ideas that may be better than theirs so they can look good.
This city is in deplorable condition, suffering complete lack of preventive and repair maintenance. The elected officials should be ashamed as a result.
