Battery Park City Tracker

Track questions. Seek answers. Strengthen communities.

Project CATS is a community-powered advocacy and tracking system for public questions, agency responses, open issues, and neighborhood concerns. This initiative is focused on Battery Park City transparency, environmental monitoring, and construction follow-up.

Forward an email

Built to support clear records, constructive follow-up, accountability, and public access to information.

Why this matters

Battery Park City is experiencing major long-term construction, resiliency, and public-space changes. Residents and community members deserve timely, understandable, and accessible information.

1

Questions should not disappear

A shared tracker helps preserve the timeline of what was asked, who was contacted, and whether a response was received.

2

Patterns should be visible

Repeated concerns about monitoring, construction impacts, access, or safety are easier to address when they are organized in one place.

3

Follow-up should be clear

The goal is to support constructive public follow-up with BPCA, elected officials, Community Board 1, and other responsible parties.

How it works

Community members can forward relevant emails. Submissions will be reviewed, organized, and redacted before anything is summarized publicly.

  1. Forward one issue per email whenever possible

    Include emails where you asked a question, received a response, were promised follow-up, or raised a concern about construction, environmental monitoring, public access, safety, or neighborhood quality of life. Separate submissions help each issue be categorized and tracked accurately.

  2. Project CATS organizes the record

    Submissions are categorized by project, topic, date, recipient, response status, and whether follow-up is still needed.

  3. The community gets visibility

    Public summaries focus on the issue, timeline, and response status. Personal contact information is not published.

Forward emails to Project CATS

Please forward both new and previous emails related to Battery Park City issues, especially those involving unanswered questions, incomplete responses, environmental monitoring, construction impacts, or public follow-up.

One issue per email is best. To help us review, categorize, and track submissions accurately, please send separate emails for separate issues whenever possible. Forward the relevant email thread for that issue, and avoid combining multiple unrelated concerns or email chains in one submission.

What to include

Complete email threads are most helpful because they show the full timeline. Please include as much context as possible.

One issue per email

Send separate emails for separate issues whenever possible. Forward the relevant thread for that issue and avoid combining multiple unrelated concerns or email chains in one submission.

Helpful details

Include the original date, who the email was sent to, whether any response was received, whether the issue remains open, and whether the issue may be summarized publicly.

Privacy reminder

Before forwarding, remove or redact any personal information you do not want shared, such as apartment numbers, phone numbers, personal medical details, or private identifying information.
