Buildings
Cambridge has regulations that require buildings to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, be fossil fuel free, be energy efficient, improve resiliency, and prepare for the impacts of climate change. The City is also holding itself to the same standards by making municipal buildings green.
Scam Alert from the Cambridge Department
The Cambridge Police Department would like to alert the community of a phone scam that involves someone calling the public impersonating Cambridge Police, even using the real names of our officers.
Clean Up Cambridge
This project will upgrade existing trash barrels and recycling containers. This will keep the streets clean, prevent pests from being drawn to waste bins, and make it easier to properly dispose of different kinds of waste.
Bicycle Education
The City provides bicycle education to youth, adults, and seniors through workshops, events, and print publications.
