Over the past decade, the City of Boston has installed over two acres of porous paving as part of public projects.

OGI is excited to release a three year rehabilitation and maintenance contract to ensure these sites function as intended. View the full IFB at boston.gov/bid-listings/ev00016913

Answering questions now and through the day!
Because of a state law, residential property owners in Boston are projected to face a 13% tax spike next year.

Meanwhile, corporations will pay their lowest share of property taxes in 43 years.

I’m hosting an AMA on Reddit about our plan to protect homeowners and deliver residential tax relief.

Did you know CargoB is working with the @boston.gov to pilot a city staff fleet program called “City Hauls”? It’s true! Excited to play a role in demonstrating the utility of e-cargo bike share for municipal services and resident engagement; this helps city staff put more work on two wheels.

Now it’s even easier to visit the Seaport by bike!

Connecting between Fort Point and the waterfront is a breeze!

Pleasant Street in Dorchester is feeling safer - and kinder. Construction crews noticed one little fan watching their work each day and surprised them with a toy excavator and hard hat. Big thanks to the D’Allessandro team for making safety upgrades - and new friends along the way!
