Why is an Impact Advisory Group appointed?
An IAG is a group of individuals chosen to formally examine the impacts of a proposed project and make recommendations on mitigation. An IAG is composed of up to fifteen (15) members, a majority of whom are residents, business owners, or designees of community organizations within the impacted area.
How are IAGs appointed?
The Mayor appoints the IAG, drawing nominations from the district City Councilor, State Representative, and State Senator as well as recommendations from the at-large City Councilors and the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Services.
How does an IAG get assembled?
- The developer submits a Letter of Intent to the BPDA, informing the agency that the developer intends to begin the Article 80 process.
- Upon receipt of the Letter, the BPDA solicits nominations for IAG from the district
- City Councilor, State Representative, and State Senator. The BPDA also seeks input from at-large City Councilors and the Mayor's Office of Neighborhood Services.
- After a period of seven (7) days, the Mayor appoints the project's IAG from assembled nominations and recommendations.
- The Article 80 review process begins when the Developer submits a Project Notification
- Form ("PNF"). The developer then adheres to all Article 80 and BPDA public review requirements, including a community meeting within the impacted area.
- The frequency of the IAG meetings varies with the complexity of the Article 80 project.
- The IAG participates in the BPDA's Scoping Session on the project and offers suggestions to the BPDA on the project impacts and appropriate mitigation.
- Prior to final execution, the BPDA provides copies of the draft Cooperation Agreement to members of the IAG for review and comment.
- After review of the Cooperation Agreement, the IAG‘s role is complete.

Subject: New development proposal for Brighton just filed this afternoon-here's some info
Just heard about this and wanted to pass this along: A Boston-based development and property management company filed plans this afternoon to build an approximately 330 -unit residential building on the site of the former (now-vacant) Kindred Hospital on a hill at 1515 Commonwealth Avenue in Brighton.
A collection of affiliates that goes by the name “The Davis Companies” proposes to demolish the former Kindred Hospital Building (I have pasted a picture of the existing building below) and build a 9-to-16 story new building. The existing building is four stories.
According to a “Letter of Intent” filed with the Boston Planning and Development Agency this afternoon, the developer proposes:
1. Approximately 155 condominium units
2. Approximately 175 rentals
3. Approximately 200 parking spaces within an enclosed above-ground parking garage
4. Total 340,000 square feet.

On June 26, 2017, Stewart submitted to the Boston Planning & Development Agency (BPDA) an Institutional Master Plan Notification Form (IMPNF) as an application for renewal of the 2007 Institution Master Plan (IMP)..
On November 20, 2018, Stewart submitted to the BPDA a Letter Of Intent (LOI) which outlined their intention to submit a Project Notification Form (PNF)for a Proposed Institutional Project (PIP) for a six level 610 space parking garage.
Today, Stewart Health Care filed their St. Elizabeth's Medical Center (SEMC) IMPNF and their Expanded Project Notification Form (ENF) for the SEMC Parking Garage with the BPDA.
Expanded Project Notification Form
The SEMC Task Force is empowered to provide critical community review for these impactful documents that will define the relationship between SEMC and the Allston Brighton community for years to come. As far as I know, despite known vacancies on the SEMC Task Force, since 2007, there has been no effort to fill those vacancies. It is critical that the SEMC Task Force is restored to full strength and is representative and inclusive of the Allston Brighton community in 2019.
If you share that opinion, please email the contacts below and remind them the Allston Brighton of 2007 is very different than the Allston Brighton of 2019 and the health care needs of our residents have evolved and require thoughtful and competent people be added to the task force. This process is not just about development but how relevant SEMC will be going forward.
Also, if you are interested in serving on the SEMC Task Force:
Send your name and address, contact information, a brief biography and explain why you would like to serve on this Task Force, to any or all of your elected officials and/or the Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Services and/or Boston Planning & Development Agency.

"2Life Communities is thrilled to share that the Boston Housing Authority (BHA) has selected us to partner with them in the redevelopment of J.J. Carroll Apartments, our neighbor in Brighton. Since the designation, 2Life has begun working with J.J. Carroll residents and BHA on a plan to replace the existing buildings with a new building that is more comfortable, energy efficient, and accessible, including universal design and adaptability features that aim to enable residents to stay in their apartments as their physical needs change. We hope to double the number of apartments on the site, preserving tenancy for existing J.J. Carroll residents, and creating an additional 60-70 new affordable homes for older adults. We've already begun to integrate current J.J. Carroll residents into the 2Life family, and are excited to move forward quickly with the redevelopment. "

“The proponent proposes to construct a new five-story, pedestrian-oriented, mixed-use building with 99 rental apartment units, approximately 8,900 square feet of shared amenity space, and approximately 5,800 square feet of ground floor retail, service and accessory space.”
Pedestrian-oriented? Sure. Like the Radius? (the developer happens to be the same one that built the Radius building just up the street on the corner with Western Ave.) So can we expect the usual “stick” trees, surrounded by concrete and asphalt -- doomed to be dead in less than a year? (see photo in the link below)
“There will also be protected storage for 102 resident and employee bicycles, 23 spaces for visitor bicycles, and space for a 19-dock bike share station.”
Ha-ha-ha. We may be getting bicycle traffic jams. What a joke.

The link below shows the other side of The Radius. Apparently, in Boston, just having a sidewalk makes a project “pedestrian-oriented”. Why doesn’t anyone at the BPDA question/challenge developers who make such BS claims?
We know all those projects are not about anything that neighborhood people care about and deserve. It’s all about filling Boston neighborhoods with more and more large rental cash cows – so some people are able to amass great wealth, while others will be paying through the nose for the privilege of living in shoeboxes and riding bicycles in rain and snow, and unable to accumulate any equity. Then, in their senior years, they will become public charges – desperate for taxpayer-funded senior housing, while the other guys live in luxury and are able to pass their wealth on to their children.
Mayor Walsh’s short-sighted policy of maximizing the volume of development, with no attention paid to any other aspects of those projects, needs to end.

P.S. Not sure why this filing has yet to be posted on the City of Boston website. The site is in direct proximity to the east to west section of Birmingham Pkwy which runs parallel to the Massachusetts Turnpike which DCR is also targeting for a road diet.

On June 8, 2023, King Street Properties submitted a Letter of Intent (LOI) to redevelop the site at 287 Western Ave in Allston.
The proposed redevelopment program is anticipated to be anchored by the construction of approximately 90,000 square feet of office and research and development uses. These uses will be smaller prebuilt suites designed to accommodate research companies in the biotechnology and life sciences industry in the early stages of their growth. As such, the Project will be complementary to the ecosystem of the Western Avenue corridor and other life science uses in the surrounding area.
The Project also anticipates including public collaboration spaces, a publicly accessible courtyard fronting on Western Avenue, replacement ambulance bay space for a current use on the Site, and structured accessory parking. The Project has been designed to comply with the recently adopted Western Avenue Corridor Study and Rezoning and to accommodate enhanced public realm and streetscape improvements.
