And in the middle of the debate on East Cambridge's Larkin petition, Decker said she will work on comprehensive long-term planning for the entire city.
East Cambridge is currently the center of much of the attention surrounding business development and growth. Last week, the City Council approved the Larkin petition, putting an 18-month moratorium on development in East Cambridge.
Resident Shannon Larkin created the petition to slow down the development that has occurred in areas like Kendall Square. Residents feel that the current business boom needs to be planned so that congestion and over-development does not become an uncontrollable problem.
The petition, however, does not put an end to all development in the area. Four amendments were attached to the petition, allowing for the continuation of several development projects that are already under way or soon to begin.
