Consider adding a pedestrian bridge from bike path to Fulkerson St park. This would connect Wellington - Harrington / King School to East Cambridge / Kennedy School.

Thanks for your comment, Cindy. The City of Cambridge is doing the design of the Grand Junction bike path and looking into access points as a part of that process. Below is a link to the project website.

Please add more retail along Binney st. Right now, the only restaurant options are Bon Me and Sumioa. There has got to be more room for things like a Starbucks, Dunkin, CVS, barber, nail salon etc. Right... Read more...

I don't believe that this is really a fully truthful answer from Alexandria. The area is full of buildings similar in program to 325 Binney and they ALL have giant, empty lobby spaces at the expense of... Read more...

John, Thanks for sharing your comments. Local retail has had a very, very challenging time the last few years. We have a wonderful array of local retail establishments in the area that we'd love for neighbors,... Read more...

Don't know what you are planning to have regarding retail. I would like to see this neighborhood have a much stronger retail base.

Thanks for reaching out with your comments. This site will not have any retail as we are working to support our locally owned retail and restaurants at One Kendall Square.

While its good that you are supporting 1 Kendall sq, with all the housing coming up in that area, it will be good to have more retail options. It can be long walk to 1 Kendall in the winter for area residents.... Read more...

1. Please use respondents' time well; do not ask for thoughts on things that are already decided. I think before CoUrbanize asks for input, they should show the Info page of the project; the Info should... Read more...

Will the new complex at 325 Binney have any street level retail/dining space, so it doesn't become a desert at 6 pm like University Park? The failure to include it at UP is now seen as a big mistake by... Read more...

The city must plan for better lighting of public areas in Kendall Square; with the number of new developments in the recent years, it has become very uncomfortable to walk around the area by oneself due... Read more...

Kendall Square already feels very corporate and sterile. Any effort to add locally owned and distinctive retail to the area is welcome. Also, more landscaping and trees.

I know that space -- yet another wasted opportunity: that area needs another "sustainable science and technology building" like the Seaport District needs another bistro. That whole area is looking like... Read more...

Science and Tech buildings actually use HUGE amounts of energy and also generate a lot of noise. Not that it's a building type/industry which should be banned, far from it, but folks should understand... Read more...

Let’s honor the lives lost to COVID-19 by creating an orchard of 111 trees planted. Let’s watch this orchard become a forest and never forget this time.
