We Want to Hear From You!


The City is gathering feedback from residents, businesses, and community members as we develop plans for the project. Your input will help inform decisions about the street layout, parking and loading, and other project details.


There are several ways to share your feedback:


  • Add a site-specific comment on the comment map: Leave location-specific feedback on our comment map. Click 'Submit a comment" to leave a note at a specific location, or "heart" other comments that you agree with.
  • Fill Out the Feedback Form: If you have feedback or comments that aren't tied to a specific location, submit them using our feedback form
  • Email the Project Team: If you're having trouble with the map or feedback form, email the project team at awolfe@cambridgema.gov.
  • Schedule a 1:1 meeting: Our project team is happy to meet with businesses, residents, organizations, and groups. Reach out to awolfe@cambridgema.gov to schedule a phone call, video chat, or in-person meeting.


Attend an Upcoming Community Meeting:

MBTA representatives will be at the In-Person Open House to discuss planned accessibility improvements at Central Square Station, including new and upgraded elevators and escalators.

About the Project


Through the Central Square Safety Improvement Project, the City will add separated bike lanes. This "quick-build" project will change the layout of the street without digging into the ground: instead, we're using new pavement markings, signs, and flex posts.


The project will:

  • Improve safety for everyone on the street.
  • Install separated bike lanes.
  • Bus stops and loading zones may change.
  • Reducing parking. We expect to keep 75% of existing parking and loading spaces.
