Description

The City of Cambridge and the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) are seeking input from Cambridge residents on the overnight and Saturday closures of Memorial Drive.

DCR closes a portion of Memorial Drive to motor vehicle traffic each weekend from the end of April to mid-November to allow pedestrians, cyclists, and others to enjoy the riverfront roadway without cars. The car-free area created by this closure is sometimes referred to as "Riverbend Park." Right now, Memorial Drive is closed from Gerry's Landing Road to Western Avenue from Saturday at 8 a.m. to Sunday at 7 p.m.

What's happening at this meeting? The City and DCR want to hear your thoughts on the current closure schedule. This meeting will include a brief presentation on the closures followed by an open comment period. 

Learn more about Memorial Drive closures on the City's Memorial Drive webpage
