A second attempt to stop installation of protected bike lanes was filed Tuesday in the state’s Supreme Judicial Court, after another attempt last month was rejected by a judge.

After months of MBTA closings and safety concerns, Cambridge is looking at adding its own bus lines and supplement service with university shuttles. Officials also seek to test an e-bike delivery service for restaurants and businesses.

As monkeypox continues to spread, the Cambridge Health Alliance has treated seven patients with confirmed cases of the virus and is offering vaccinations to people “at high risk.”

Public meetings this week look at monkeypox preparedness, a proposal for city-run delivery services making up for MBTA failings with shuttle buses, Brattle Street bike lanes, preserving The Pit and more.

Public meetings this week look at better parks and open spaces and citywide design guidelines, developer “linkage” fees for affordable housing, permitting for Starlight Square and more.

Cambridge’s city manager-elect, Yi-an Huang, said he plans to take office Sept. 6 and is in frequent contact with City Hall and holding meetings to be able to hit the ground running.
