Ames Street Land Disposition
Background The City has proposed selling an approximately 20-foot wide strip of public land along the eastern edge of Ames Street (see map on reverse side) to a private owner with the condition that it would be combined with other land to enable the construction of a residential building with ground floor retail. The developer would also be responsible for the reconstruction of Ames Street.
In the course of the Kendall Square Study, the City created a concept plan for Ames Street between Broadway and Main Street to create a more pedestrian-scale street and enhance the environment by narrowing the street. Ames Street is currently wider than is typical for city streets and very auto-dominated. In addition to enhancing the streetscape environment, the redesign would allow for the possibility of developing new housing on the eastern side of the street. Developing new housing in Kendall Square was an important community goal expressed in the Kendall Square Study.

Mayoral Blue Ribbon Task Force on Tenant Displacement
Web page for Mayor's Blue Ribbon Task Force on Tenant Displacement, chaired by Councillor Siddiqui. The task force will be charged with investigating the root causes of displacement—answering the question of where and why forced displacement is occurring—evaluating current policies, programs and practices, and developing bold alternatives where necessary, thereby addressing the imperative need for stronger, more immediate tenant protections. Its recommendations for policy change and resource allocation will provide critical guidance to the City Council and City Manager’s Office on mitigating the effects of housing instability on our City, and realizing the future of Cambridge as affordable, inclusive and desirable for all.
