Our Cambridge Street
From fall 2021 through fall 2022, the City led Our Cambridge Street, a planning study for Cambridge Street between Inman Square and Lechmere Station. Cambridge Street was identified in Envision Cambridge as an area where sensitive and sustainable growth could provide opportunities for affordable housing; support local retail and service providers; enhance opportunities for walking and bicycling; and improve the public realm, among other community interests and benefits.
The City worked with the community to craft a shared vision for Cambridge Street based on an inclusive and transparent engagement process. See below for the final plan and associated materials.
