Planning Chief says Allston-Brighton Community Plan will be completed “as soon as possible.”

During a capital budget hearing on May 5, City of Boston Planning Chief Kairos Shen said that the Allston-Brighton Community Plan will be completed “as soon as possible.” In a response to a question from Allston-Brighton City Councilor Elizabeth ‘Liz’ Breadon, Shen said that the community plan has the office’s “full attention.” 

“I would go as fast as the process allows us to go without violating one of the principles that I’ve already shared, which is that we don’t want planning done to people. We want to do planning with our residents,” said Shen.
