What an incredible night for Massachusetts!

During last night’s meeting, we voted 7-2 to beg

During last night’s meeting, we voted 7-2 to begin investigating the feasibility of banning turns on red citywide in Cambridge and joining Washington, D.C., New York City, and AnnArbor, MI in the effort to make streets safer for all.

This is a move that is long overdue and will help reduce dangerous traffic accidents for pedestrians, cyclists, and other vulnerable road users. Turns on red are currently banned at roughly 70% of intersections in Cambridge, but as we become a more multi-modal city it is imperative that we ensure our roads can safely accommodate all road users, not just cars. I was happy to have the support of my colleagues and want to thank Councillor Azeem for cosponsoring this effort with me. I also want to thank Petru Sofio for bringing this issue to our attention and working so diligently to advocate for this change.

I look forward to hearing back from our City Manager, Law Department, and our State partners for an initial report.

A few weeks ago, Solutions at Work put out a call

A few weeks ago, Solutions at Work put out a call for sewing supplies so residents at the Green Street Shelter could begin taking quilting classes. Once again, the Cambridge community came together and delivered! In a short amount of time, sewing enthusiasts from around the City donated fabric scraps, cutting mats, rulers, and even a sewing machine. I am so thankful to all who contributed, the Cambridge Modern Quilt Guild, and especially to our friends at Gather Here for serving as the drop-off location for supplies. I was so happy to be able to present Natalie from Solutions at Work with an overflowing table of sewing materials and gift cards to fabric stores so she can purchase more supplies as the quilting program grows.

Yesterday @cambridge_bike_give_back was onsite at the Rindge Towers giving away 30 free bikes, helmets, bike lights and more to kiddos who live there! Thanks to Lonell and crew for this great event, can’t wait until the next one ✨✨✨

Last night I had the extreme pleasure of attending

Last night I had the extreme pleasure of attending the groundbreaking ceremony of 585 Kendall — a landmark building in the heart of Kendall Square that will combine scientific innovation with performing arts and music.

When 585 Kendall opens in 2026, it will serve not only as a state of the art life sciences lab for Takeda, but also a state of the art performing arts center that will offer free programming and arts resources for the public in addition to ticketed performances in the theater. This collaboration between Global Arts Live and BioMed Realty is a product of BioMed’s commitment to being a true community partner who wants to give back to Cambridge.

In addition to creating valuable art space, BioMed Realty committed to making 585 Kendall the most environmentally friendly building in Cambridge by exclusively using steam energy to power the building. As a result, the building will be 100% carbon neutral from day one.

There are many moving parts to this project, and many great minds have come together to bring this vision to reality. I want to thank my colleagues on the City Council and Assistant City Manager for Community Development Iram Farooq for their steadfast support in developing Kendall Square and making it a place where all are welcome, the entire team at BioMed Realty for taking this project on head first, the team at Takeda for committing to this building, and Global Arts Live for bringing art to Kendall Square.

Now we wait for 2026!
