Committees
The Envision Cambridge planning process includes input from the public through an advisory committee and several working groups. There is an advisory committee guiding the overall plan, a working group advising the Alewife plan, a working group focused on public engagement and communication, and four topic-focused working groups. See below for brief descriptions of each group and lists of their members. Read more on the topic-focused working groups and their role within the plan here.
