The Boston Public Improvement Commission (PIC) is the owner and regulator of the City's rights of way. The PIC plays an integral role in the City's development and permitting process. From the restaurant that wants to add a seasonal cafe on the public sidewalk, to the developer who wants to construct an underground parking garage for a new housing development, or the homeowner who wants to add an architectural feature to a house that juts into the public space, each must seek approval from the PIC to have its private venture occupy public space, either permanently or on a licensed basis.

Join in as Mayor Walsh offers his testimony in support of the TNC Bill at the Joint Committee on Financial Services. This bill would add a charge to transportation network companies like Uber and Lyft operating during rush hours, while at the same time reducing charges for uses of pooled rides and electric vehicles. This fee would then be invested in local roads and transit, including improvements to bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure.
