Snow Operations City-Wide Community Meeting

Dear Cambridge Community,

On Thursday, June 11th, 6:30pm-8pm, in the Dr. Henrietta Attles Meeting Room (located inside of the Cambridge Rindge and Latin School- 459 Broadway, Cambridge), the City of Cambridge will be hosting a community meeting to discuss the snow removal operations that took place this past winter. We would love for you to attend so we can hear from you on how we can best improve our operations so that residents and business owners have the utmost confidence in City to provide a safe atmosphere during snow events.

The City of Cambridge accumulated over 110 inches of snow this winter that undoubtedly impacted residents and businesses. In fact, there were 34 unique snow events that impacted public safety. Many City departments worked around the clock to create safe conditions for pedestrians, motorists and cyclists. The unwavering commitment that our residents and business owners displayed by assisting with snow removal efforts to keep Cambridge a walking city year round was astonishing. Without the citywide collaboration among residents, businesses, and city departments, public safety would have been seriously compromised.

We hope you will come share your thoughts and insights with the City department heads (City Manager’s Office, DPW, Traffic & Parking) that will be in attendance to listen and absorb the public’s feedback. The information that we receive from the community is immeasurable and provides the City an opportunity to strengthen its operations.

I look forward to seeing you on June 11.

Yours Very Truly,

Rich Rossi
City Manager
City of Cambridge
