between Prospect Street and Trowbridge Street on Massachusetts Avenue:
• Even side of the street - 102 ½, 102, 100, 98, 96, 94, 92, 90 ½, 86, 82, 80, M-128, M116,

to encourage Cambridge community members to get involved with the City's 9th Participatory
Budgeting process. The banners say "How Would YOU Spend $1,000,000 to improve Cambridge,
Real Money, Real Projects, Real Power, Participatory Budgeting, Make your voice heard today at
cambridgema.gov/yourbudget" with our PB logo and the City seal. We intend to have the
Electrical Department attach the banners this June and remove them in December 2022.
Thank you for your consideration,
