Fairmont Avenue Becomes Cambridge’s Newest Shared Street
Fairmont Avenue has officially transformed into Cambridge’s newest Shared Street! With construction now complete, the response from neighbors has been overwhelmingly positive. Residents are already enjoying the refreshed look and enhanced community feel of the street.
Fourth Traffic Impacts
The City of Cambridge is notifying residents, businesses, and visitors of multiple temporary street closures throughout Fourth of July weekend due to several large community events. These include the Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular, the Fourth of July Weekend Block Party and Vintage Market, and the US Army’s 250th Birthday celebration.
Lafayette Square
The reconstruction of Massachusetts Avenue and Lafayette Square included the creation of a new plaza and reduction in travel lanes.
Transportation Demand Management
Transportation Demand Management (TDM) encourage people to switch from driving alone to walking, biking, taking buses and trains, carpooling, and other sustainable transportation options. The City encourages TDM to help more people get around Cambridge without creating more traffic and greenhouse gas emissions. These and other goals are described in Envision Cambridge.
