City staff said Somerville uses 27 plow routes, prioritizes the Community Path, exhausts available city employees before hiring contractors, and is considering future snow-melting options. The discussion covered snow clearance on sidewalks, private ways, accessible ramps, handicapped parking spaces, bus stops, and bike lanes. Most snow-related agenda items were recommended to be marked work completed, while the street-sweeping discussion and resident comments about Eversource were kept for later committee action.
