Building on the City of Cambridge's commitment to reducing barriers and working with more diverse business owners, the City has completed its first ever Disparity Study focused on the procurement of goods and services.

Beginning the week of July 20, weather permitting, the City’s contractor, Newport Construction, will be performing roadway milling (grinding) and paving operations to enhance the road conditions on several sections of street around the City.

The Half Crown-Marsh (HCM) Neighborhood Conservation District (NCD) Commission will convene its Architect's Committee to review existing conditions and a proposed window sample at a public meeting, in-person, at 38 Gibson Street.

This new program is aimed at protecting the health of our local rivers and reducing street flooding. Residents and business owners are encouraged to participate by claiming a storm drain in their neighborhood and keeping it clear of debris, particularly ahead of rain events. With 5,800 City owned storm drains in Cambridge, the task of maintaining them is substantial. City crews work diligently to clear storm drains before and after storms, but this task can be completed more quickly with community assistance.

If you are traveling through the area, please pay attention to signage, message boards, and/or directions from members of the Cambridge Police Department.
