Baker-Polito Administration Travel Order of August 1 Updated
All visitors and Massachusetts residents returning home, including students returning to campuses for fall semester, must fill out a “Massachusetts Travel Form” and quarantine for 14 days unless they are coming from a COVID-19 lower risk state or can produce a negative COVID-19 test result administered no more than 72 hours prior to arriving in Massachusetts. Effective Friday, August 7, Rhode Island is no longer listed as a lower-risk state.
Project Evaluations
The city does evaluations of major projects upon completion to see how the end result meets the goals set for the project and whether there are any lessons for future projects.
Wireless Speakers for Youth Centers
Adding wireless surround sound speakers to the youth centers benefits young people doing homework, playing basketball and other activities. Bringing music to the youth centers will bring more youth to these centers.
Squirrelwood
Squirrelwood encompasses both the rehabilitation of the 45 existing units at Linwood Court and the 20 units at Squirrel Brand, as well as the new construction of 23 units at Linwood Court.
12-14 Laurel Street
12-14 Laurel Street is a 2.5-story duplex in Cambridgeport between Central Square and the Charles River. The property is owned by a non-profit who is donating the 4,573 square foot site to Just A Start (JAS) to create permanently affordable ownership housing. The existing building will be demolished and replaced with a new, expanded building with a similar façade design.
The project will proceed as-of-right under the AHO.
Outdoor Exercise Equipment
Installing outdoor exercise equipment similar to the fitness stations along the Charles River in Boston at Danehy Park and three other Cambridge parks would provide a health benefit for the whole community.
Camp Rainbow
Camp Rainbow is an annual summer camp serving young people with disabilities, ages 6-22. Campers will enjoy a variety of experiences, including outdoor activities, swimming, field trips, arts & crafts, and cooking.
