Hi Eva,
This one was a little different in terms of awarding community benefits as the result of a development project.
As part of the approval process, the developer agreed to pay the BPDA $100,000 that would be distributed to the Allston/Brighton community for programs to support neighborhood improvement initiatives that benefitted the Allston/Brighton community.
In a public process, applicants were asked to go online and submit plans as to how they would use the funds to benefit the Allston/Brighton community and its people.
The decision making process was not publicly disclosed.
As a side note, I was told by residents of Brainerd Road, that additional assurances were given for neighborhood improvements to the direct abutters that never happened.

I thought the Comm ave mall in Back Bay was supported privately and with volunteer effort that raised money each year and did the beautifying. Is that not true? If so, I can understand that the City is not about to set a precedent of supporting beautification with city money. Would be nice though.

But I never worry that anyone would be so offended by my opposition to a project that they would decide against allocating funds to children in need. That would be crazy. People aren't so petty, and even if someone can't stand me -- the grant isn't for me.
