Municipal Sustainability
To lead by example, the City of Cambridge is engaged in many initiatives aimed at improving the sustainability of municipal operations.
Cambridge NITES with Central Square BID
Join the Central Square BID for a block party celebrating the launch of Central On Air, a new community-driven live streaming platform for DJs, musicians, and listeners alike. Central Square BID is kicking off the summer and unveiling Central On Air to the public for the very first time. The event is on Saturday, June 14th from 5:00 – 9:00 p.m. in Lafayette Square, just steps from their new studio at 425 Mass Ave. Enjoy live DJ sets, local vendors, and a first look (and listen!) at their street-level studio and livestream platform. Continue on to the afterparties at Brick & Mortar, Middlesex, and Roxy's. Be part of the energy, music, nightlife, and community that powers Central Square!
Mount Auburn Street Traffic Calming
The project includes the construction of new sidewalk ramps and general roadway reconstruction, including curb extensions to enhance safety for pedestrians.
Cambridge Public Health Department COVID-19 Vaccine Update for January 25, 2021
Based on the information the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has shared, Phase Two will begin on February 1st and only those 75 years and older (and those who qualify as part of Phase One) will be able to register for a vaccination appointment using the map on the state’s website. At this point, we do not have indications of when other groups in Phase Two will be able to register for and receive the vaccine. When the state shares additional information, we will post it on our dedicated vaccine information page at www.cambridgema.gov/vaccine.
Renewable Energy
The City is on track to hit it's goal of generating 5% of the electricity it uses from onsite renewable systems.
