Installation of Bus Only Lane on River Street Coming Soon
As the River Street Reconstruction approaches substantial completion this fall, several traffic pattern changes will be taking effect. Over the next few months, workers will install new signage, paving and street markings, including a new dedicated bus-only lane. This work will happen in sections rather than all at once. At the end of construction, River Street will have sidewalks, a parking and loading lane, one general-purpose travel lane, a dedicated bus-only lane, and a sidewalk-level bike lane.
911 Clinician
The City of Cambridge 911 Clinician is a unique public safety position, as they work directly inside the Emergency Communications Center (ECC) alongside Emergency Telecommunications Dispatchers (ETD). The 911 Clinician may be utilized by dispatchers during emergencies for purposes of crisis intervention/de-escalation or to support callers through vulnerable moments before first responders arrive on-scene when appropriate. A large part of the 911 Clinician’s role is also following up with and providing community members connections to mental health and corresponding services by making referrals, providing resources, facilitating screenings, offering support and advocacy, and short-term case management.
