Help us keep the gas lamps and trees free of permits!
With the busy moving season approaching, No Parking/No Standing permits will be everywhere. When you see expired parking permits, please remove them by cutting the tape or wire completely and discarding in the nearest trash can. Please remove any tape or tie-wraps as well. Although movers and contractors are asked to remove the permits they put up, many signs remain. Help us keep the neighborhood beautiful!
BRAP Community Meeting
Have you heard about BRAP?
The Boston Rodent Action Plan (BRAP) is a new initiative to combat the rodent population in the city of Boston. BRAP is a coordinated, multi-agency initiative to mitigate the rodent population in Boston and provide a greater quality of life for residents and visitors. Under the leadership of the Mayor’s Office, Operations Cabinet, and Inspectional Services Department, BRAP brings together key stakeholders from several City departments to collaborate on rodent mitigation strategy and leverage a wide range of expertise. The Inspectional Services Department (ISD) commissioned this report to determine and address Boston’s rodent control needs. Renowned urban rodentologist, Dr. Bobby Corrigan, authored the report detailing the factors contributing to Boston’s rodent population. You can read the report at boston.gov by searching for the BRAP plan.
The Beacon Hill Civic Association is part of a BRAP focus group to consider solutions to this problem. Additionally, there will be a city-led Community Engagement Meeting on Tuesday, August 12th, at 6pm via Zoom for any interested neighbors. E-mail [email protected] for the Zoom details or call the BHCA office.
In September, John Ulrich, ISD’s Assistant Commissioner for Environmental Services, will be our guest at the September 5th BHCA Coffee Hour at 8:30am. He will discuss the plan and how we can do our part.
