Commemorative Tree Program: A Living Tribute
On August 6, 2025, the Village Board adopted a Commemorative Tree Donation Policy to help residents, families, and local groups honor people and milestones with a living tribute on village land.What the program offersA commemorative tree is a simple, meaningful way to celebrate an individual, a family event, or a community moment while strengthening our tree canopy and village character. Trees are planted only on Village-owned property or within public rights-of-way (think library grounds, municipal lawns, and approved planting strips along village streets). We do not plant or maintain trees on private property.How it works (the short version)Donation amount: $500 per tree, covering purchase, planting, and initial care.Where and when we plant: Sites are selected on Village property/ROW and plantings typically occur in spring and fall.Who decides species & location: Our Tree Committee, in consultation with the Superintendent of Public Works, matches species to site conditions for long-term health and safety.Plaque & recognition: Each tree may include a low-profile ground plaque (within character limits), and donors may also be listed on our website. Opt-out is available if you prefer privacy.Ownership & care: Commemorative trees are Village property. We’ll maintain them at our discretion; as living things, their lifespan isn’t guaranteed, and we may remove or replace as necessary.How to applyApplications are reviewed on a rolling basis by the Tree Committee with Village staff, with final approvals by the Village. Approval depends on site availability, species suitability, and planting timelines.Submit the Commemorative Tree Application to the Clerk’s Office by any of the following:Email: clerk@cambridgeny.govIn person: 56 North Park Street during office hoursU.S. Mail: Village Clerk, Village of Cambridge, 56 North Park Street, Cambridge, NY 12816If you email your application, please note: payment must be received within five (5) business days to hold your planting slot.A few practical notesTransparency: Applications and donation records may be subject to public disclosure under NYS Freedom of Information Law (FOIL).Tax status: Donations under this program are not tax-deductible charitable contributions.Site suggestions welcome: You can propose a location on your application; final siting is determined by the Tree Committee and DPW to ensure the right tree in the right place.Ready to get started?Have questions or need accommodations? Contact the Village Clerk at (518) 677-2622 or clerk@cambridgeny.gov.Plant a memory. Grow our canopy. Leave something good for the next generation.

Exploring the Future of the Cambridge Skate Park: Your Voice Matters
Did you know that Cambridge is home to Washington County’s only skate park? Quietly nestled behind the Village Office and Police Station on North Park Street, this small but spirited space has welcomed local skaters for over a decade.But time has taken its toll.Today, the ramps are worn. The features are outdated. The amenities are few. Simply put: it’s no longer meeting the needs of the community the way it once did.The Village is not currently pursuing grants or planning taxpayer-funded upgrades. However, we've begun hearing from residents, especially younger voices, who see potential. They envision a more vibrant, welcoming, and safe space for kids, teens, and families. And they’re asking: could the skate park be something more?So, we're turning the question over to you:Do you or your kids use the skate park now?Would you use it more if it were improved?Are you, or a group you're part of, interested in helping with repairs or applying for outside funding?Would you volunteer, share ideas, or contribute your skills to reimagine the space?This is not about raising taxes. It’s about raising hands to see if there’s enough community interest and energy to take the next step. If there is, the Village is ready to support those efforts with guidance, coordination, and letters of support for outside funding.Tell us what you think:Email clerk@cambridgeny.gov, stop by the Village Office during business hours, or leave a comment on this post. Better yet, join us at a Village Board meeting. The mic is always open.Let’s find out: should we roll forward with the skate park?

Making Maple, Gilbert & South Park Streets Safer for Everyone
Office of the MayorWhy We're Looking at Speed Limits NowThe Village of Cambridge is taking formal steps to reduce the posted speed limits on two key roads that run through our community:Route 313 (Maple and Gilbert Streets)A short segment of Route 22 (South Park Street), near the school and District OfficeBoth are state highways that fall under the jurisdiction of NYSDOT, but for those of us who live here, they’re also everyday community streets. They're used by children walking to school, neighbors heading to urgent care, and first responders on emergency calls.What’s Changed on These RoadsRoute 313 has seen significant growth in the past several decades. Today, this corridor includes:🚒 Cambridge Fire Department🚑 Cambridge Valley Rescue Squad🏥 Urgent Care & Medical Offices🎓 Head Start Program🎯 Youth Program Facility (Village Youth Commission)🏠 Condominium housing and single-family homes💼 TCT Federal Credit UnionDespite these changes, the posted limit on Route 313 remains 40 MPH. And on Route 22, it quickly jumps to 45 MPH before even leaving the Village.These speeds no longer reflect the character or safety needs of our growing, mixed-use environment.What We’re ProposingAs Mayor, I am preparing a formal request to the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) to reduce the posted speed limits on both corridors to 30 MPH within the Village boundaries.This is a targeted, data-driven proposal designed to:Protect pedestrians and driversImprove conditions for emergency response vehiclesReflect the actual use and development of these roads todayYour Voice Matters: Public Comment Now OpenTo help support this request, we’re inviting the public to submit comments through a brief online form.📝 Click here to share your input → https://v3.cambridgeny.gov/22313📅 Comment period ends: June 30, 2025💬 All comments will be included in the July 2025 Board of Trustees meeting and submitted to NYSDOT as part of our official request.What Happens NextIn July, the Village Board will vote on a formal resolution. We’ll also be gathering letters of support from:Cambridge Central School DistrictCambridge Fire DepartmentRescue SquadLocal business owners and civic leadersResidents like youWe’re also considering a short stakeholder workshop in late June to coordinate efforts and finalize materials before submission.This Is Just the First StepThis effort is focused solely on speed reduction. However, we believe this conversation with NYSDOT will help open the door for future improvements and broader safety planning, together.If you have thoughts or want to get involved, you can always reach out to my office directly.Your Input Is More Than HelpfulThank you for taking the time to read and participate. Thoughtful civic input like yours is what helps us build a safer, more responsive Cambridge.James W. SweeneyMayor, Village of Cambridge📩 mayorsweeney@cambridgeny.gov

Why a $16 Chicken Dinner Matters More Than You Think
On Sunday, May 25th from 1:00 to 3:00 PM, the Cambridge Volunteer Fire Department is firing up the grill for a cause that’s as urgent as it is delicious: their annual Chicken Barbecue Fundraiser. For $16, the price of a meal you’d grab without thinking, you get:½ Chicken, flame-grilled to perfectionPotato, Coleslaw, and RollA Brownie for good measureAnd most importantly: the satisfaction of backing the volunteers who back us, 24/7💡 One dollar of your purchase covers digital processing. Every other penny supports readiness, response, and resources for the department.This fundraiser has quietly become a Cambridge tradition. For over 25 years, this humble meal has helped keep gear updated, training ongoing, and fire trucks rolling. It’s not flashy. But it’s essential.Years ago, our fire department poured its heart into the Fireman's Carnival. A summertime highlight with fireworks, carnival games, pony rides, and rural charm. It was a beautiful chapter in our village story. But it also required hundreds of volunteer hours and often raised less money than a single barbecue event. Those hours are now wisely spent on drills, calls, and keeping our neighbors safe.But don’t worry! A little of that carnival spirit is coming back. The beloved Cake Wheel will be spinning once again at this year’s Cambridge Balloon Festival (June 6–8, 2025). So yes, there will be frosting, suspense, and a chance to win dessert glory.✅ For now, do the simple thing that makes a big difference:Pre-order your dinner. Pick it up at 50 Gilbert Street. Eat well. Support better.Because our volunteers don’t ask for much and they’re always there when it counts.
