Share your ideas about growth in the NNE
Join the City Planning Department for a Community Meeting about planBTV New North End!
We are excited to see so many residents weighing in on how the New North End should grow and evolve in the years ahead! To continue the conversation, the Office of City Planning is holding a community meeting on Wednesday, July 22, from 6:30 - 8:00pm at the Miller Center (130 Gosse Court).
Join City staff for an overview of the draft planBTV New North End, an opportunity to ask questions, and a conversation about what the plan does – and does not – propose. This meeting will include an open house where you can explore and leave comments on planBTV NNE's wide range of recommendations for mobility, housing growth, and the design of shared public spaces, as well as a Q&A with City staff about the plan.
If you're unable to attend in person, a recording of the meeting will be available on Town Meeting TV after the event. City staff will also post written responses to questions that are asked at the meeting.
Can't make it but still have a question or comment about planBTV NNE? Submit your question or comment using the form on the Office of City Planning's website.
