I filed a public records request for info on any discussion of a Somerville cycling safety ordinance. Thought this was funny, guess I should have anticipated that discussions about an ordinance would be highly redacted. The full results (though there's not much here): https://www.muckrock.com/foi/somerville-8/somerville-bike-lane-ordinance-150207/

Somerville bike lane ordinance

George Schneeloch made this request to Office of Strategic Planning and Community Development of Somerville.
