Founded in 2001, the Brookline Neighborhood Alliance (BNA) is a network
of neighborhood associations in Brookline. Its purposes include
strengthening existing associations and encouraging the formation of new
ones; facilitating communication between neighborhood associations; and
promoting the resolution of issues of concern to Brookline’s
neighborhoods. |

BNA Activities
The BNA holds frequent meetings on topics of interest to Brookline’s
neighborhoods. Recent topics have included various development
proposals, strategies for neighborhood preservation, and services
provided by Brookline’s Department of Public Works. One BNA meeting each
year is a forum for candidates for the Board of Selectmen. BNA
representatives participated in the process that shaped Brookline’s
Comprehensive Plan and also serve on the Town’s new Zoning By-law
Committee. The BNA has supported the efforts of neighborhoods to form
local historic districts. Each spring, the BNA annual meeting features
an invited speaker (Mel King and Jane Holtz Kay are recent examples) and
the presentation of several Neighborhood Leadership Awards. |

BNA Members
Over twenty neighborhood associations and other groups are members of
the BNA. These associations have been active in Brookline’s civic life.
In recent years, neighborhood associations have worked to preserve and
improve many parks, opposed inappropriate residential and commercial
development, campaigned to limit the height of the proposed Two
Brookline Place building, campaign to preserve the historic St. Aidan’s
church building, and created new local historic districts. Many
neighborhood associations also sponsor social events for their members.
