Cambridge Life Magazine Fall/Winter 2005
The revamped magazine includes reference material from our popular guide, Living in Cambridge, and various city related articles to make it useful to both newcomers and longtime residents.
Rodent Prevention
The City of Cambridge’s Inspectional Services Department offers free exterior rodent control services through its Private Property Rodent Control Program. Since launching in 2021, the program has helped over 900 qualified residential properties by providing professional inspections, treatments, and follow-up visits. Residents also receive education on effective rodent prevention techniques. The City encourages community-wide participation, as sanitation and shared responsibility are essential to keeping neighborhoods rodent-free.
The Big Picture
In the Big Picture workshop women will learn basic photography skills and participate in a city-wide collaborative photography project exploring the intersection of science, religion, and visual art.
Central Square Development Guidelines
The Central Square Development Guidelines have been compiled to assist residents, property owners, developers and the City in reviewing proposed development projects within the Central Square Overlay District.

Getting Around Cambridge
