It wouldn’t feel right to let a week pass without another multimillion-dollar purchase by Denver-based Healthpeak in the Alewife area – and on Thursday came news of a $72 million transaction for 67 Smith Place.

Before a tree-cutting moratorium went into place in 2019, the pace of felled trees seemed to accelerate; while it’s not so simple for multimillion-dollar construction, developers, city councillors and Planning Board members are all trying to figure out how a lab- and office-space moratorium affects business as usual.

Despite what Cambridge’s chief public health officer called “uncontrolled transmission” of Covid-19, the city won’t require restaurants, fitness centers and other indoor public spaces to mandate Covid-19 vaccination for their customers and workers, as Boston and neighboring communities have done.

After a flurry of amendments and a substitution, the City Council agreed to ask for a “committee of committees” to review the installation of separated bike and bus lanes and for city staff to meet with those affected by a recent rollout on North Massachusetts Avenue to alleviate their concerns and improve future transportation changes.

Cambridge city workers don’t have to get vaccinated against Covid-19 to keep their jobs, but the city will make it easier for them to get a shot if they want one. The city plans three vaccination clinics specifically for Cambridge employees and their families this week.

Public meetings this week look at bike lanes and Alewife offices and labs; Lamplighter Brewing and the return of the Indian restaurant Tanjore; how universal pre-kindergarten is being developed by the city and school district; and more.

The new City Council term is bringing some shifts in committee assignments, while the Planning Board and Board of Zoning Appeal similarly prepared last week for the coming year of work. One body of appointed officials stayed the course; the other made big changes in leadership.

If the goal of eliminating single-family zoning in Cambridge is to right decades of racial injustice and inequity, the Planning Board was unconvinced Tuesday that the city was anywhere close to a way to achieve that.

Things moved fast at Monday’s City Council inaugural, held outdoors at the Starlight Square complex in frigid 25-degree weather. Sumbul Siddiqui was returned to the Mayor’s Office unanimously, and Alanna Mallon was voted back to her seat as vice mayor.

Public meetings this week look at swearing-in the new City Council and School Committee; ending single-family zoning, building an 100 percent affordable-housing mixed-use project on New Street; tearing down the Garage mall; replacing a Harvard Street apartment building destroyed by a 2020 fire; and more.
