After assessment, the City of Cambridge will be resurfacing the CRLS Tennis Courts and addressing some drainage issues associated with the Ellery Street Garage, located behind the War Memorial Recreation Center at 1640 Cambridge Street. We estimate the work to start in the Spring / Summer of 2020 and last approximately 3 months. Details for this project, including all public notifications and scheduled feedback sessions, will be posted at: https://www.cambridgema.gov/Departments/publicworks/cityprojects.
