A neighborhood walk is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon, June 13, in East Somerville. According to Amber Espar of Groundwork Somerville, the walk will begin at 5:00 at the East Somerville Health Center, 42 Cross Street. The route of the walk is stenciled in 2,000 yellow footprints and passes by the Youth and Senior Center (165 Broadway), the East Somerville Community School (115 Pearl Street), Glen Park (150 Glen Street) and Grace Baptist Church (59 Gross Street).
