Mid-Cambridge Parks Vision
Many of the parks in Mid-Cambridge will soon need repair or replacement. We would like to work together with neighbors to create a plan for these parks and open spaces. By working together, we can make sure future park updates and plans meet the needs of our community & neighborhood.
Request a Fire Detail Service
The Fire Department requires a paid fire detail for all hot work performed indoors and/or on the exterior structure of all occupied buildings.
