Main Street Safety Improvement Project: Second Community Meeting

Description

On Wednesday, May 31 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., the City of Cambridge will hold the second community meeting for the Main Street Safety Improvement Project. This meeting is one of several outreach events over the next few months to discuss safety improvements to Main Street between Massachusetts Avenue (Lafayette Square) and Portland Street. Our goals for this project are to install separated bicycle lanes in both directions, improve crossing locations for people walking, identify locations for parking and loading, and address safety at key intersections.

During the meeting, we will:

• Share design options based on community feedback
• Review background and planning information, including the Cycling Safety Ordinance, Cambridge Bicycle Network Vision, and the Vision Zero Action Plan
• Summarize feedback received on the project
• Give an opportunity to ask questions and provide your feedback

For more information, please visit the project webpage.

Participants will be allowed to speak and ask questions following a presentation by city staff.

Can't Make It?

Materials from the meeting, including the slides and a recording of the presentation will be posted to the project webpage following the meeting, typically within a week. We also have two in-person open house events planned. Information shared at these open houses will include only what is discussed at the May 31 meeting: no new information will be shared. Instead, community members will be able to drop by in-person to talk to city staff, ask questions, and provide feedback. You may at anytime also submit feedback through the project's online feedback form.

In-person Open Houses:

• Tuesday, June 6 at the Pisani Center from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
• Thursday, June 8 at the intersection of Main Street and Bishop Allen Drive from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
