BC Neighbors Forum: Public Meeting Monday 12/17 at 7:00 pm

Boston College Neighbors Forum:
Public Meeting to Discuss BC's Master Plan

Monday, December 17, 7:00 pm
Brighton Elks Lodge

Brighton residents are invited to attend a community meeting to analyze and discuss the details of the Boston College institutional master plan. The meeting will take place on Monday, December 17th, 7:00 pm, at the Brighton Elks Lodge, 326 Washington Street, Brighton Center.

The Boston College Neighbors Forum is an unaffiliated, independent grassroots discussion group. The goal of the meeting is to build a consensus in the community on issues of common concern, and to prepare formal community feedback to BC and the City of Boston.

Public participation is strongly encouraged and all residents will be afforded an opportunity to speak as time permits. Possible topics for future meetings will be discussed.

For more information, contact Michael Pahre at 617-216-1447 or pahre@comcast.net; or visit the BC_Neighbors_Forum Google Group.

Parking is available at the rear of the building, accessed from Winship Street.

A PDF flyer can be found here.


Background

BC's institutional master plan notification form can be found at the VHB website. More information, and links to media reports, can be found on a previous post. The master plan filed by BC differs a bit from previous versions they presented earlier this year. Earlier media coverage of BC's housing plan in the Boston Globe can be found here, followed by letters-to-the-editor, as well as an editorial.

The BC Neighbors Forum held three public meetings earlier this year (here, here, and here). Media coverage of previous events can be found here and here, and an op-ed column I wrote about the May meeting of the BC Task Force.
