Spring Holiday 2021 Guidance
Celebrating the spring holidays such as Passover, Easter, and Ramadan will be different this year, again, due to COVID-19. However, with warmer weather and more people getting fully vaccinated (see guidance below), there are more options to celebrate with family and friends and be safe.

Sherman Street Highway-Rail Grade Crossing Upgrades
On approximately June 29th, 2018, the MBTA Commuter Rail (which is operated by Keolis Commuter Services) started sounding the train horns at the Sherman Street crossing in North Cambridge. We recognize that the noise from the horns is disturbing residents at all hours of the day, and are therefore moving as quickly as possible to install a solution that will allow the MBTA/Keolis to stop sounding the train horns. At the same time, we recognize the safety hazards created by grade crossings that do not meet the current standards for a Quiet Zone, and therefore want to ensure that we install the proper safety measures to resolve this situation.
