The Congress for the New Urbanism honored the Kendall and Central Squares Planning Study with a 2014 Best Urban Infill Award at its annual conference in June. Kendall Square is balancing demand for growth by tech companies (Apple, Novartis, Google) and needed a land use and transportation plan that would generate no net new auto trips, while also ensuring overall system capacity. With Goody Clancy, Nelson\Nygaard led the transportation components of this vision for Kendall and Central squares in Cambridge, MA. We focused on determining Red Line transit capacity, identifying transit gaps, pedestrian and bicycle access, and transportation demand management programs, including parking management.
