The City will be kicking off its second Participatory Budgeting Process this summer in order to complete voting by December and make the timeline more manageable for everyone involved. Before we launch the second round, we’d like to collect feedback from the community about what worked well and what could be improved through two primary channels:
- An in-person feedback session on Tuesday, May 5, from 6-8 p.m., at the Citywide Senior Center, 806 Mass. Ave.
- An online survey, which we will also post on our website and promote through social media.
A graduate student from the Harvard Kennedy School is going to analyze this data and other survey data we collected throughout the process (from attendees at assemblies, Budget Delegates, voters, etc.) and come up with recommendations to help us improve the second process.
If you can't make the feedback session on May 5, please be sure to take the survey and encourage others to do so as well. Community members are welcome to submit comments via email and phone as well.
For more information, please contact Michelle Monsegur, Budget Analyst, City of Cambridge at 617-349-3266 or mmonsegur@cambridgema.gov.
