Most legislative trackers are built for lobbyists and cover federal or statewide bills through paid, complex dashboards. Concrete Bills is free, focused entirely on New York City, and written for everyday residents. It explains the reasoning behind each bill in plain English, so you do not need a policy background or a paid subscription to follow what your local government is doing.

Concrete Bills's answer:
Concrete Bills started from a simple frustration: it is far too hard for an ordinary New Yorker to find out what the City Council is voting on and what it means for them. The official sources publish raw bill text but rarely explain it. Concrete Bills was built to close that gap with plain-language summaries and a weekly digest.
