Statement from the City Manager on Temporary Emergency Shelter
Throughout this Public Health crisis, I have worked closely with the City’s Public Health team to ensure that we are making the most informed decisions possible to protect the health and welfare of the entire Cambridge community. As part of that effort, we have been working to identify options to care for our homeless community or those unable to safely isolate or quarantine at their residence during this time.
Privately Owned Public Spaces
Listing and maps of privately owned public spaces required under the provision of special permits isused by the Cambridge Planning Board.
Separate Bike Lanes from Traffic
Improve safety for drivers and bikers by moving bike lanes to be between street parking spots and the sidewalk, reducing car-bike interactions and potential collisions.
Let’s Rest Picnic Tables & Benches for Our Parks
Benches and picnic tables bring our community together. Installing new benches and picnic tables in up to 10 of our Cambridge parks will allow people of all ages and abilities to enjoy them for resting, talking, reading, people watching and being outdoors.
