These are just some of the municipal meetings and civic events for the coming week. More are on the City Calendar and in the city’s Open Meetings Portal.
Envisioning Mass. Ave. of 2040
Massachusetts Avenue Planning Study community meeting, 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday. The group held a process already looking at a segment of the avenue from Porter Square south to Cambridge Common; now it turns its attention to North Massachusetts Avenue, from Porter Square to Alewife Brook Parkway. This the first of three community meetings toward creating a vision for what the avenue will look like in 2040. Watchable by Zoom videoconferencing.
‘Youth Well-Being’ discussion
“Building the Foundation for Youth Well-Being” panel, 6:30 to 8 p.m. Monday. Learn how to support positive development throughout childhood for your child and explore resources in Cambridge during a discussion sponsored by the Cambridge Public Health Department. Free food and child care provided at at the King Open School, 850 Cambridge St., Wellington-Harrington, Cambridge.
Strawberry Hill dispute settled
Planning Board, 6:30 p.m. Tuesday. The sole item to be handled looks minor – to build a single-family home behind an existing single-family home at 8 Thingvalla Ave., Strawberry Hill, then tear down that existing home and replace it – but has needed continuations and withdrawals since it was introduced in October. As far as board documents suggest, applicant Gregory Matteosian’s purchase of the property from owner Karen Ferolito of Watertown was complicated by the presence of a tenant, sister Jacquelyn Ferolito. With a court’s involvement, Jacquelyn Ferolito left the property in August and work can get underway. The area between Mount Auburn Cemetery and Fresh Pond can expect the original designs to go through, with a few more neighbors than before in two new, detached two-story single-family structures. Watchable by Zoom videoconferencing.
