Site work and paving for a mixed-use development in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Conceptual plans call for paving for a road / highway; for site work for a road / highway; sidewalk / parking lot; and sidewalk / parking lot.

An FY24 appropriation and bond authorization will support improvements on Mass. Ave. between Harvard Square and the Alewife Brook Parkway. The scope of work does not include full street and sidewalk reconstruction, but does include removing sections of the median, paving, pedestrian ramps, crossing islands, separated bike lanes, operational improvements for transit, signal upgrades, and coordination with critical utility upgrades. These changes will allow separated bike lanes to be implemented, while maintaining emergency vehicle access and curb uses such as outdoor dining, loading and on-street parking. The detailed designs will be developed through a comprehensive community process that will consider the needs of the various users of the Avenue, while meeting the requirements of the Cycling Safety Ordinance.
