Outdoor Lighting

The city of Cambridge, MA, convened a task force in 2013 to consider drafting a municipal ordinance related to outdoor lighting. The task force’s work wrapped up in 2016 and resulted in three recommendations: a draft lighting ordinance, suggested changes to the special permit application requirements, and a good neighbor brochure. The city’s webpage offers links to documentation of the process, including planning board and city council meeting packets and records.
