Ongoing Reforms
Public Transparency and Accessibility
A new user-friendly responsive (mobile friendly) website has been created where information is more easily accessible from any device, 24/7. Information regarding
development projects
can be located online using a new "timeline" format with the status of a project, including upcoming and past meetings, public comment letters, project manager contact information and all development project filings.
All
BPDA Board meetings
are both televised and streamed live.
Starting in 2016, the
BPDA’s annual budget
is posted online and is presented annually to the City Council.
The Agency’s
financial audits
are available online via the BPDA website.
A new
zoning viewer
tool allows people to better access and understand local zoning. We’ve added a new, street view feature to the zoning viewer that displays up-to-date street view imagery, so users can see existing buildings and infrastructure from a real life perspective.
To better engage the business community, the BPDA digitized the process to promote fairness, access, and transparency in all
procurement
activities.
BPDA staff works with developers of large projects under construction to create
building wraps
to display information about a development project to the public.
The BPDA now produces yearly reports on the progress on the creation of income-restricted housing through the
Inclusionary Development Policy
(IDP).
Since 2014, people have been able to
sign up through the BPDA website
to receive notifications for planning and development updates by neighborhood.
The Agency launched the new Article 80 Developer Portal in 2018 to help streamline processes for both BPDA staff and developers. Developers are now required to submit their materials through the portal at five key project status phases.
The Agency unveiled a new, web-based 3D base model of the City of Boston, available for public use for free on our
website
. The 3D geographic information system (GIS) model supports the BPDA’s goals to implement new solutions to solve complex challenges facing Boston, while providing greater transparency and increased community engagement.
