Discover City Projects in Your Neighborhood
Boston's Citywide Project Tracker offers residents a centralized platform to explore nearly 200 city investments across neighborhoods. The tracker focuses on various projects, including parks, schools, and safety enhancements, responding to community demands for greater transparency. User research informed the development of the tool, ensuring it meets the needs of both city staff and constituents. Features include a searchable database, consistent project pages, and an interactive map to improve accessibility. Ongoing projects encompass design, planning, and construction phases, with the tracker updated to include recent initiatives.
The city plans to add affordable housing projects later this year, expanding the tool's scope. Residents can filter projects by type and neighborhood, fostering community engagement. Feedback from users will drive continuous improvements to the tracker.
