> Please take the survey! > > > > ---------- Original Message ---------- > > From: Heather Hoffman <heather.m.hoffman.1957(a)gmail.com> > > Date: 06/23/2022 10:47 AM > > Subject: [livablecambridgeopen] City survey on getting around by bus in Cambridge > > > > > > > > The MBTA, to its credit, is taking a whole new look at its bus network and has a proposal that makes big changes in Cambridge. For example, the current links between East Cambridge, Porter Square and North Cambridge (via Davis Square) are being severed. Some trips that currently take only one bus will take two or even three. Other changes may make things much better for some people. For example, Riverside, Cambridgeport and The Port will have a much better connection to Market Basket in Somerville. > > > > > > Please take the survey and encourage your friends and neighbors to do so as well.

Then, they will share the final bus network in fall 2022. Finally, they will make the first set of changes in spring 2023. The MBTA will continue to make changes to bus routes between 2023 and 2028. > > > > We will be collecting your feedback through the end of July 2022.

Fwd: [ACN] Wed. 6/22 Fwd: Hearing and virtual rally for the Green New Deal
by raryals 22 Jun '22

22 Jun '22

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Lee Farris <Lee(a)leefarris.net> Date: Tue, Jun 21, 2022 at 11:44 PM Subject: [ACN] Wed. 6/22 Fwd: Hearing and virtual rally for the Green New Deal To: Cambridge Residents Alliance CORE < cambridge-residents-alliance-core(a)googlegroups.com>, Association of Cambridge Neighborhoods < association-of-cambridge-neighborhoods(a)googlegroups.com> Hi neighbors, On *Wed. 6/22, at* *5 PM, there will be a virtual rally to **support the Cambridge Green New Deal* BEUDO proposal to cut building emissions by requiring large new commercial buildings to pay for all their emissions, including embodied emissions. We'll hear from Harvard and MIT students and others. *At 5:30pm, we'll join the virtual hearing of the Council**’**s Ordinance Comt*. and give public comment asking the Council to support the Green New Deal and the Nolan/Zondervan/Siddiqui BEUDO amendments. The proposed ordinance is facing pushback from the Chamber of Commerce and Harvard and MIT, which say the local fees they will have to pay if they don’t reduce emissions will be too high; instead they want to pay using global emissions offsets. There is a good article in the Crimson that explains why this approach is not a good one- see last link on this page linktr.ee/cambridgegnd Please also email your thoughts to council(a)cambridgema.gov and clerk(a)cambridgema.gov, and BCC lee(a)leefarris.net so we can see how many emails were sent- see comment guide below. The Green New Deal documents being discussed at the Ordinance Comt. hearing are here <https://cambridgema.iqm2.com/Citizens/Detail_Meeting.aspx?ID=4135>, and more info is here <https://www.cambridgegnd.org/>. Thanks, Lee Farris, President Cambridge Residents Alliance: *Working for a Livable, Affordable and Diverse Cambridge* https://www.cambridgeresidentsalliance.org/ Begin forwarded message: *From: *"Zondervan, Quinton" <qzondervan(a)cambridgema.gov> *Subject: **Please join us: virtual rally for the Green New Deal* *Date: *June 20, 2022 at 3:19:49 PM EDT Hello climate activists, Thank you for continuing to support the Green New Deal for Cambridge. Please join us this *Wednesday 6/22 at 5 PM for a virtual rally* where we'll hear from Harvard, MIT, and CRLS students (and other speakers). At 5:30, we'll jump into the virtual council hearing and give public comments asking the council to support the Green New Deal and the Nolan/Zondervan/Siddiqui BEUDO amendments. The zoom link for the rally is available here <https://linktr.ee/cambridgegnd>. Basically, this is what we did last month except I anticipate that my colleagues will attend and so the hearing will not have to be canceled this time! If you can't make it, please send an email to council(a)cambridgema.gov with your support! Here <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rx4YSky7J12MECrs7BnyL24yEXVqhADHggOwhqq…> is a comment guide but even just a few quick sentences about passing the Green New Deal and Nolan/Zondervan/Siddiqui BEUDO amendments would be so helpful I hope to see you on Wednesday at 5 PM!

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Kathy Dalton <kd(a)well.com> Date: Tue, Jun 21, 2022 at 3:47 PM Subject: [Porter square] Housing Alternatives Panel To: PSNA <portersquare(a)googlegroups.com> *The Living Well Network - a project of the fka Agassiz Baldwin Community presents* *Housing Alternatives ~ What's Out There?* *Living in Community We Grow Older* *This Thursday* Most of us say we want to age in place in our homes. Sometimes we decide that’s not the best option; maybe we want more human connection, more help, or less property to look after. If you were to think about living someplace else—what choices are out there? Join us for a discussion of options in our area: independent retirement living, assisted living, cohousing, and a new kind of continuing care retirement community. Our presenters are: Helene Quinn, former Executive Director of the Cambridge Homes who will speak on independent and assisted living; Jen Long of the Hager Homestead in Littleton who will speak on cohousing, including this exciting new 55+ community, and Sharon Adams Brooks of 2Life Communities who will cover their options with a special focus on the new Opus Community in Newton, which is a new kind of continuing care community. This is the first of two panels on housing alternatives. In the fall we will cover options for getting more support while remaining in your home.
