Cambridge's $7.9M Linear Park Fix Drags On, Now Stretches Into 2027

Linear Park, the paved artery that carries walkers, joggers and cyclists between Davis Square and Alewife, has been closed since October 2025 for a renovation that was supposed to wrap up by the end of this year. Instead, Cambridge officials now say the project is on track to reopen the park to the public by the end of December 2026, but construction activities are expected to continue into 2027.

Question 5 loses: Mass. votes down ballot initiative on tax rebates

Voters rejected a ballot question that would have likely increased how often the state would issue tax revenue rebates. Question 5, proposed by several top business groups, sought to tweak Chapter 62F, an obscure state law that itself came about through a 1986 ballot question. The existing law requires the state to give taxpayers rebates if revenue exceeds a certain cap. Taxpayer refunds have come just twice since then, most recently after after an unusual surge in tax revenue during the COVID pandemic.

In Kendall Square, a long-awaited venue brings cultural boost

Cambridge's tech hub stands to get a culture boost as The Platform, a 45,000-square-foot performing arts venue and community space, opens Saturday. Why it matters: Kendall Square has a front-row seat to a rare sight — a mid-size performing arts venue opening as smaller venues increasingly shut their doors. Catch up quick: The opening is a dream decades in the making for Cambridge residents, since tech philanthropist Glenn KnicKrehm pledged to build a grand concert hall on the site in the 1990s, per Cambridge Day . He sold the property in 2018 to BioMed Realty. The real estate developer ultimately developed the 16-story lab-and-office building at 585 Third St. (now 585 Kendall ), creating a new headquarters for the pharmaceutical giant Takeda. State of play: The Platform's crown jewel is the 400-seat Takeda Theater on the second floor. But the public's introduction to the space is a living room-style lobby lined with trees and shrubs that leads to the 125-seat Tempo Stage. There's also a bar and a café coming soon. Global Arts Live, an arts nonprofit, will oversee the space. (The organization has hosted performances since 1990 but has never had a venue of its own.) What they're saying:

Antidivestment councillors miss the point

When I saw the topic of divestment from companies tied to Israeli actions in Gaza cross my desk, I was sure we’d had the debate before, at the same time last year. Turns out, we did, in Somerville. Let’s look at an essay by Cambridge city councillors Patty Nolan and E. Denise E. Simmons (“Cambridge and its residents need one standard for human rights,” Oct. 27) about orders seeking divestment and a boycott.

Court ruling ends Boston high school football team’s playoff hopes after clerical error

Earlier in the week it was announced a Massachusetts high school football program would miss the postseason due a clerical error regarding its schedule. Days later, that ruling was upheld despite an injunction filed by Boston Public Schools. The Boston Globe reported Friday, Nov. 6, that the injunction filed to allow Boston English/New Mission into the postseason was denied by Suffolk Superior Court Judge Gillian Feiner . English's game against O'Bryant (MA) on Oct. 30 was the game in question as no one from Boston Public Schools submitted it on the scheduling platform the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) uses with its Sept. 18 deadline. Because of that, the game was counted as a scrimmage and not a regular season game. Boston Public Schools argued the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association did not correctly apply its own rule, MIAA rule 34.6 , and game against Bryant should have been counted as a forfeit. The Bulldogs finished the season 4-2 and did not meet the seven games needed to qualify for the postseason. Had it been counted as a forfeit, they would have qualified for the postseason playing as a lower seed. “We are disappointed that our MIAA appeal was denied,” a
