13 City Profile Areas of Cambridge
Hang banners in 13 strategic high-traffic, high-density business and neighborhood areas to identify commercial and/or neighborhood-specific local areas in Cambridge. This would support commerce, diversity, and neighborhood integrity.
This proposal arrived at one of the very first community meetings where citizen input strongly and unanimously agreed on the need to preserve neighborhood identity. Participants also discussed the promotion and awareness of the many neighborhood commercial areas as one can easily pass by in a cross-town commute. Wayfinding banners will help to distinguish locations for the community and its visitors.
Discussion and input for design for locations include the 13 neighborhoods defined in the Community Development Department’s “Cambridge Neighborhoods” map (see image), or “C2, H2, I1, K2, P2, East Cambridge, Huron Village, North Point, Observatory Hill, and Wellington Harrington.”
Design and installation of each banner is estimated at $200. 6 banners per area for 13 areas comes to $15,600 total for this project.
