Palmer Street Improvements

The City Council has expressed a desire to enhance Palmer Street, so that it may become a more active and inviting pedestrian walkway and public space, in addition to its use as a loading zone for nearby businesses.

The City is planning to introduce small improvements to Palmer Street, an alley in Harvard Square, to be rolled out starting summer 2021. Improvements are anticipated to include elements such as plantings, magnetic poetry panels, a public piano, public seating, and an overhead artistic canopy element.
