The City of Cambridge has made many of their datasets available as GeoJSONs via GitHub. That might not be a format that works well for your users if they need shapefiles, but it would be lightweight and wouldn't require additional local IT infrastructure.

I can't help but put in my 2 cents as an employee at a state GIS data warehouse/access point. Why not work with MassGIS? I know that here in VT, VCGI tries to provide one-stop "shopping" (which is to say, free download) in order to reduce the amount of searching about users have to do to find data.

My apologies if I am simply ignorant about MassGIS' policy regarding data from municipalities...

I am surveying the options for providing our GIS data as a free download from our city website.  If your municipality offers this service, would you send me the link so I can review?  And if you want to add comments about how it is working for you, that would be appreciated.


Thanks.
Claire
