West Roxbury Neighborhood Council
http://members.aol.com/lcostello/wrnc/
The WRNC is an advisory body established by the Mayor's Office of
Neighborhood services in an effort to increase communication between the
neighborhood and city departments and agencies. Council members are
appointed by the mayor of Boston. The Council meets on the fourth Tuesday
of every month (excluding Dec, July and August) at 7:30 at Community Room
of the Area E Police Station at 1708 Centre St. The public is encouraged to
attend. West Roxbury Neighborhood Council minutes are available on the
Internet at http://members.aol.com/lcostello/wrnc/
Neighborhood Councils
One of the most integral forms of community involvement on zoning and
development issues comes through local neighborhood councils. Designed to
provide advice on issues of local concern. Neighborhood councils are
included in the planning process from the very start. The BRA notifies them
at each stage of review for large projects, Institutional Master Plans,
Planned Development Areas, or zoning issues. The notice includes
information on the type of review being undertaken, where, when, and how
access to relevant documents can be viewed or obtained, a summary of the
proposed plan or project, and the dates by which public comments must be
received by the BRA. In turn, neighborhood councils are a valuable resource
for city residents who might wish information on development activity and
civic activity in their community.
