What happened to that project I voted for?
It’s a common question we hear from PB participants across North America. The myPB website shares the status of local projects that were proposed and funded through participatory budgeting.
We're piloting myPB in New York City where residents have used PB to allocate $210 million toward community projects since 2012. Explore the projects put up for public vote here.
The summary view includes a map and four charts showing the status of projects by category, votes, cost, and implementing agency with the same filters as the Projects View.
Voters can see a list view of the status of projects in their district using the ‘Search Address for District’ feature in the filter menu.
Detail View
The detail view shows project plans that have worked (and plans that haven’t) to make the project development process easier.
