Submit Your Cambridge Improvement Project Ideas Before July 31

The City of Cambridge is once again inviting residents to submit project ideas to improve Cambridge as part of its sixth Participatory Budgeting (PB) cycle, which runs through July 31, 2019.  Participatory Budgeting is a democratic process in which community members directly decide how to spend part of the capital budget.  Volunteer Budget Delegates will help develop the best ideas into concrete proposals to be voted on by the community in December.

For this next process, the City will set aside $1,000,000 for capital projects to improve the community. Winning projects from past PB cycles include a public toilet in Central Square, musical instruments for CRLS, a freezer van for prepared food rescue, solar panels for the Main Library roof, water bottle fill stations, and many others.

Tell us what kinds of capital projects you would invest in by submitting your ideas from June 1 through July 31, 2019 online at pb.cambridgema.gov or by contacting the Budget Office at (617) 349-4270 or pb@cambridgema.gov.
