* Transportation 2022 Annual Report & 2023 Work Plan Draft (Exhibit 2)
* Vision Zero 2022 Annual Report Draft (Exhibit 3)
* Climate Action and Resiliency Plan (CARP) 2022 Annual Report & 2023 Work Plan Draft (Exhibit 4)
These documents show City progress towards its goals as well as priority actions for the coming year. The General Plan, CARP, Climate Adaptation and Hazard Mitigation Plan, Vision Zero Action Plan, and the Transportation Choices Plan all require the preparation and presentation of annual reports that the City Council accepts each year.

Planning Board comments on these Annual Reports and associated priorities for the upcoming years will be transmitted to the City Council in March, in time for the City Council's June public hearings and adoption of the next two year City Budget.
