How Cambridge pays For City Service
The City relies on property taxes and many other revenue sources—including service fees, state and federal funding, licenses and permits, and investment earnings—to help pay for the services residents depend on every day.
Sit and Recharge in the Shade!
Install 10 shaded benches with solar power charging stations around Cambridge. This project will improve the daily quality of life for pedestrians. These solar benches will allow people to sit out of the sun and charge their electronic devices.
Accessible Mats for Public Events
Cambridge hosts many outdoor events each year. Accessible mats can lay over unpaved terrain to ensure that more people can enjoy the beautiful green space of these events. These mats support families with strollers, wheelchairs, and other mobility aids.
