Usually I see a police detail there, but they never do anything in this situation. They only take action when someone is pulling a vehicle out of the construction site.

can the city of Cambridge take these requests seriously and not just hand it off to the police as there has been nothing done about the truck situation parking in the road over the past several months. I also heard that another construction site is coming to Cambridge Park Drive for another apartment building. This will only continue and the city needs to ensure that its residents can enter and exit this street to attend work on time and not get stuck on a one lane road waiting to drive around a parked truck. I agree with Michael above that there are sometimes Police Detail at the construction site, but they never direct traffic or stop Uber/ Lyft from parking on the bike line. The Police detail only stop traffic to help a big truck back in or out of the construction site. There needs to be more accountability here as the City of Cambridge approved this construction project, but now you are hurting your residents.

Can the City of Cambridge please hold an event about the increase lack of traffic control at the Alewife/ Cambridge Park Drive area.

Are there any updates on this issue? we haven't seen any increase in police detail nor any improvements from the city to enforce that trucks cant park in the middle of the street during rush hour. Please provide an update.

Thank you for reporting your concern to City of Cambridge via Commonwealth Connect.

The area associated with this concern has been raised with the Commanding Officers with our Traffic Unit, Day Patrol and Detail Unit. This is a priority detail area, which means that if there is a shortage of detail officers, those working details may be reassigned to the area or overtime will be considered to help ensure the area is filled. In addition, traffic officers will be doing regular enforcement in the area for blocked bike lane, handicapped parking and crosswalk violations. Lastly, Commanding Officers will be conducting spot checks in the area to monitor progress.

In the future, if you see this type of activity, we encourage you to call the Cambridge Police non-emergency number at 617-349-3300 and an available, nearby officer will be dispatched to the location.
