Rendering of the proposed design near 8th St

Sidewalk Work Upcoming:

While major changes to Cambridge Street won’t begin until Spring 2027, City contractors will do some sidewalk maintenance work on Cambridge Street this Fall. This work will be limited to areas between intersections, not affected by the plans for the project.

What to Expect

What Impacts to Expect: Temporary parking impacts and sidewalk closures. Daytime Work.

Where: This work will be primarily focused in Section C of the project area between Fulkerson St and 2nd St.

Reminder: Project Next Steps

• Design Feedback Summary: The city will put together a report summarizing everything we heard from you for Sections A and C of the project design. The report will be posted online and shared with this email list.
• Project Bid and Contract Award and Pre-Construction Meeting: We hope to award a construction contract for Sections A and C by Fall 2026. Once the construction contract is awarded, we will host a pre-construction meeting with the contractor. Stay tuned for more information.

Reminder: Project Sections


As a reminder, this project is broken into three sections:

• Section A: Prospect St to Willow St. Final Design.
• Section B: Willow St to Fulkerson St. Not Yet Underway.
• Section C: Fulkerson St to Second St. Final Design.
