Mid-Cambridge Action Plan
What Does an Action Plan Mean for Mid-Cambridge?
It has been 11 years since the last neighborhood plan was done for Mid-Cambridge. A lot has changed since then! The Mid-Cambridge Action Plan is all about hearing from you - what you value most about your neighborhood and what ideas you have to make it better. Throughout 2023 we worked with the community to understand neighborhood priorities, and identify actions to improve day-to-day life in Mid-Cambridge. Sign up for the Mid-Cambridge mailing list below or keep an eye on this web page for more information on ways to be involved!

What Do You Think of the Draft Plan?
Throughout 2023 we worked with the community to craft a list of 27 actions that help improve day-to-day life in Mid-Cambridge. The actions in this draft final plan address community priorities such as parks and open space, mobility, and local businesses.
Please review the plan and let us know what you think is missing, or what parts you think are important.
