The Draft Comprehensive Plan Is Here! Submit Comments or Join Us Nov. 9 & 16
Posted: 11/9/2026 11:07 pm
After two years of community engagement, research, and drafting, the Comprehensive Plan Steering Committee is excited to share the working draft of Brookline’s Comprehensive Plan. The Plan sets out a long-term vision for the Town’s future across seven areas: Mobility, Thriving Commercial Areas, Livable Neighborhoods, Community Wellbeing, Climate Action and Resiliency, Fiscal Wellbeing, and Expanded Housing Options.
The draft is still being refined, so some information may be inconsistent across sections as revisions continue. At this stage, we’re looking for feedback on substance, not wording. Do the goals reflect Brookline’s priorities? Are the actions clear and realistic? Is anything missing?
There are two ways to share your input:
- Submit written comments by emailing jcollins@brooklinema.gov by Thursday, November 19th
-
Attend a Steering Committee Meeting on Monday, November 9 or Monday, November 16, 7:00–7:45 p.m., on Zoom or in person at Town Hall, 333 Washington Street to share your thoughts live
The draft Plan is available here. Additional information on the Comprehensive Planning process can be found at www.brooklinema.gov/3750 Please see the attached flyer for details, and feel free to share it with neighbors, colleagues, and anyone who cares about Brookline’s future.
