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 "The Latest" section below for the final plan.
For additional information, contact Drew Kane at dkane@cambridgema.gov or 617-349-4640.
Over the past year, we've talked to hundreds of you about your vision for Cambridge Street. Together, we developed shared priorities for the future and explored improvements to meet the needs of ALL the diverse people that call Cambridge Street home. We're excited to share the final plan and recommendations!
