A group of Somerville residents around Olive Square at the corner of Lake Street and Hawkins Street have been meeting to plan a Neighborway from Hawkins Street to the Market Basket.

This is a semi-industrial, semi-residential intersection south of Union Square. In requesting traffic calming asphalt art, the residents were decided that they wanted a “Fake Lake” to celebrate their street name. Painting to narrow the visual traffic lane, slow traffic and suggest no-parking zones near the intersection will involve blue “lakes” with fish, plants and lily pads.

Installation to happen as funding and road work permit.
