No Parking on Dando Street

Posted September 22, 2025

Hello GCI families and community members,

Parking on Dando Street: you may have noticed the ongoing construction on Dando Street, and the newly added vehicle Turnaround at the far end of the road. This addition accommodates the need for school vehicles to turn around more safely.

In response to the addition of the turnaround, the City of Cambridge is now in the process of removing available parking on Dando St. Starting this week, there will be no available parking on either side of the street.

Families may still continue with their existing drop off and pick up routines; however, as before, we do strongly encourage students to travel to nearby side streets and parking lots for pick up and drop off. We will share additional information soon regarding suggestions for nearby drop off and pick up areas.

Should you have any questions regarding parking or violations, please contact the City of Cambridge/By-Law Enforcement. Please contact GCI’s main office, should you have any other questions or concerns.

Take good care,

GCI Administration
