Mass Ave - Dudley St to Alewife Brook Pkwy
Through this quick-build project, we will install separated bike lanes on Massachusetts Ave between Dudley St. and Alewife Brook Pkwy. Our toolbox includes pavement markings, signs, and flex posts. The project will also consider methods to improve bus reliability, such as dedicated lanes.
Healthy Aging and Public Transportation
Partnering with the Council on Aging, the Community Development Department conducted a series of community meetings with seniors focusing on “usability, mobility, and accessibility” to transit. The goal of each meeting was to engage seniors in a discussion about their experiences with public transit, including challenges, barriers, and opportunities.

Benches for a Walkable City
There is strong evidence that benches are needed, especially along Mass. Ave. in North Cambridge. While there are some bus shelters along the way, the seating in these shelters is minimal, allowing two people at most to sit or one person with their bundles.
