Cambridge Redevelopment Authority
The Cambridge Redevelopment Authority (CRA) undertakes urban redevelopment projects and other activities provided for in the enabling legislation. In recent years the CRA has focused its attention on the Kendall Square area.

Innovation Boulevard
The Innovation Boulevard project comprises the construction of a linear park parallel to the Grand Junction rail line, which will be situated along the westerly edge of Galileo Galilei Way between Main Street and Binney Street. There is currently no funding identified for the project. Treatment of this green space will be reviewed as part of the Eastern Cambridge Open Space Study.
