Effective February 1, 2026, the City of Cambridge is increasing the fines associated with expired meter and overtime parking tickets.

The City offers a number of rental and ownership programs that ease financial burdens, make necessary repairs, and provide educational opportunities.

The City of Cambridge is notifying residents, businesses, and visitors of multiple temporary street closures this weekend due to the Thai Market and the Cambridge Classic 5K.

As part of the initiative, the City is encouraging residents to introduce themselves and engage with their neighbors. Residents can submit their events to the online Meet Your Neighbors Day map. Hosts are only limited by their imagination!
