A
Today's
hearing
is
on
docket
zero.
Five,
two
four:
two:
zero
five:
two
six
orders
for
the
fy
22
operating
budget,
including
annual
appropriations
for
departmental
operations
for
the
school
department
and
for
other
post-employment
benefits,
opeb
dock
at
0-527-0528,
which
are
orders
for
capital
fund
transfer
appropriations
and
dock
at
0-529-0-5-3-1,
which
are
orders
for
the
capital
budget,
including
loan
orders
and
lease
purchased
agreements.
A
But
our
real
focus
today
is
the
capital
budget,
an
overview
of
that
and
the
public
facilities
department,
which
is
tasked
with
executing
a
lot
of
our
our
capital
work
and
kind
of
project
managing
it.
So
our
expected
speakers
today
are
justin
starrett,
the
chief
financial
officer,
collector
treasurer
for
the
city
of
boston.
We've
also
got
chief
dion
irish,
our
our
chief
operation
officer
and
then
I
think
as
well.
A
Well,
there's
actually
such
an
extended
list
of
public
facilities,
folks
that
I'll
probably
leave
it
to
their
own
team
to
introduce
them.
But
I
know
we're
also
joined
by
carrie
griffin,
the
director
at
public
facilities
and
a
number
of
of
deputy
folks
from
the
office
of
budget
management
as
well.
So
we're
grateful
for
the
whole
city
team
for
being
here.
Boston's
capital
budget
is
enormous.
A
I
think
3.2
billion
this
year,
we'll
be
hearing
about
it
and-
and
it
really
encompasses
things
across
all
departments
that
we
on
the
council
care
quite
a
lot
about.
A
So
I've
been
joined
here
today
by
my
colleagues
counselor
liz
braden
from
district
councillor,
julia
mejia
at
large
councillor,
anissa
isabe,
george
at
large
and
counselor
andrea
campbell
from
district
four,
so
grateful
to
all
of
them
and
I
think
without
further
ado,
we
will
jump
over
chief
steroid
I'll,
go
to
you
and
then
you
can
go
to
others
as
as
makes
sense.
A
Although
I
did
last
year
as
as
I've
mentioned
in
other
places,
pat
brophy,
who
has
left
us
did,
I
think,
have
20
minutes
in
the
presentation
of
just
telling
us
about
the
high
school
resumes
of
all
of
his
staff,
and
so
I
just
want
to
say
at
the
outset
that
I
believe
strongly
in
the
pedigrees
boston,
cred,
educational
achievements
of
the
entire
public
facilities
department
staff.
D
Yep,
we
see
it
great.
Thank
you.
So
thank
you,
counselor
bach
and
thank
you
council
for
having
us
here
today.
My
name
is
justin
starred,
I'm
the
chief
financial
officer
for
the
city.
D
I
am
joined
today
by
jack
hanlon,
deputy
director
on
the
capital
side
and
david
irkovic
on
the
assistant
director
for
the
capital
budget,
who
are
really
the
heart
and
soul
of
developing
the
capital
plan,
and
I
am
so
fortunate
to
be
with
our
city
colleagues,
today
pfd
and
chief
dion,
irish
and
kerry
griffin,
who
are
really
the
masters
of
turning
what
we
put
on
pieces
of
paper
and
put
into
excel
spreadsheets
into
real
things,
that
residents
and
constituents
can
go
out
and
see
their
neighborhoods
and
touch
and
use
and
are
the
cherished
assets
that
everyone
in
boston
relies
upon.
D
So
super
grateful
to
have
them
as
partners
generally
and
to
have
them
here
today
to
really
dive
into
some
of
the
details
around
the
major
projects
that
you
know
the
billions
of
dollars
that
they're
overseeing
on
an
annual
basis
to
deliver
impactful
projects,
not
only
in
every
department
across
the
city
but
in
every
neighborhood
across
the
city.
D
So
I'm
going
to
run
through
an
overview
of
the
entire
capital
plan,
which
covers
not
only
what
pfd
oversees,
but
as
well
as
major
other
capital
departments
like
the
parks,
department
and
public
works
and
the
boston
transportation
department.
D
I'm
going
to
give
you
the
high
level
overview
of
that,
as
well
as
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
process
and
the
parameters
by
which
we
make
decisions
in
the
capital
plan
and
make
proposals
in
the
capital
plan,
as
well
as
highlight
some
of
our
most
recent
bond
sales,
which
are
really
a
success
story
and
something
we're
super
excited
to
talk
about
today.
D
So
I'm
going
to
try
to
spin
through
this
deck
as
quickly
as
possible
and
then
turn
it
over
to
carrie
and
dion
who
are
going
to
walk
through
the
pfd
slides,
which
are
much
more
granular
detail
into
all
the
great
work
that
they're
doing
so.
The
city's
fy
22
through
26
capital
plan
is
a
3.2
billion
dollar
plan.
It's
the
largest
plan
in
the
city's
history,
it's
growing
by
about
200
million
net
between
last
year
and
this
year.
D
The
capital
plan
covers
the
sort
of
capital
maintenance
and
the
new
assets
that
we
need
to
build
and
maintain
throughout
the
city.
So
this
is
everything
from
roads
and
bridges
to
schools
and
bcyf,
centers
and
parks,
and
libraries
and
city
hall
and
city
hall
plaza
and
all
the
different
cherished
sort
of
municipal
assets
we
have
as
a
city
as
well
as
the
assets
that
keep
our
city
moving.
D
You
know
transportation
bus
lanes,
bike
lanes,
pedestrian
accommodations,
all
the
like,
so
it
is
a
vast
plan
and
it
covers
a
whole
lot
of
different
types
of
assets.
But
but
each
one
is
is
important:
its
own
right,
the
city
funds,
its
annual
capital
plan,
really
through
a
variety
of
sources,
one
through
general
obligation
bonds,
which
are
bonds
that
the
cities
issues
based
on
its
aaa
credit
score
that
we
pay
for
out
of
the
city's
operating
budget.
D
So
it
is
very
much
linked
to
the
operating
budget
at
the
end
of
the
day,
as
well
as
federal
grants
and
state
grants
of
which
we
have
started
to
make
much
more
use
of,
and
super
excited
about,
potential
future
conversations
with
the
federal
government,
as
they
consider
you
know,
potentially
large-scale
infrastructure
bills,
especially
around
transportation
and
other
public
infrastructure
that
we're
excited
to
to
talk
about,
as
well
as
the
msba
who
is
really
been
a
good
partner
with
the
city
over
the
last
five
to
ten
years.
D
You
know
doing
both
big
projects
like
the
dearborn
but
as
well
as
you
know,
and
upcoming
projects
like
jt,
us
and
and
baa,
and
all
those
great
projects
that
we
have
coming
out
in
the
carter
school
they're
all
coming
down
the
pike,
as
well
as
annual
repair
programs
to
our
windows
and
doors
and
boilers
and
heating
systems,
so
really
good
partnership
with
the
mspa.
We
want
to
thank
treasurer
goldberg
for
for
her
leadership
and
her
work
on
that
as
well.
D
So,
as
I
mentioned,
it's
a
3.2
billion
dollar
plan.
It
covers
the
next
five
fiscal
years
of
spending,
so
fy
22
through
26..
We
really
break
up
the
capital
plan
into
two
types
of
projects.
One
are
standalone
projects
and
these
are
individual
schools,
individual
libraries,
individual
bridges
and
the
like
that
have
sort
of
beginning
and
end
dates.
D
We
also
have
a
slate
of
projects
that
we
call
annual
programs
and
that's
where
we
invest
in
city-wide
road
resurfacing:
sidewalk
replacement,
fire
engines,
street
tree
plantings
and
sort
of
baseline
city
technology
that
happen
every
year
just
happen
in
different
parts
of
the
city
depending
on
the
cycle.
D
So,
as
you
mentioned
counselor,
you
know,
the
city's
capital
plan
is
at
its
greatest.
It's
it's
highest.
In
history,
it's
grown
pretty
precipitously
over
the
last
five
to
ten
years.
You
know
it's,
it
sort
of
stayed
around
the
billion
billion
and
a
half
range
for
most
of
the
early
2000s
and
really
started
to
ramp
up
over
the
last
couple
years
and
a
really
exciting
time
for
us
as
we
continue
to
invest
in
the
city.
D
So
the
more
work
we
can
put
out
onto
the
street,
either
through
pfd
or
through
our
other
capital
departments,
our
jobs
and
the
economy
that
we
can
stimulate
in
boston,
especially
as
we
think,
towards
a
post-cobit
recovery,
where
those
shared
public
assets
are
going
to
be
even
more
important
for
folks
to
start
to
utilize,
as
they
start
to
emerge
from
their
their
homes
in
the
quarantine
and
all
the
different
types
of
public
health
measures,
so
really
excited
that
we
were
able
to
make
a
lot
of
progress
in
the
last
year
from
a
capital
perspective,
but
also
that
we're
able
to
continue
that
extraordinary
level
of
investment
into
the
next
year.
D
So,
as
I
mentioned,
we
have
two
different
types
of
projects.
We
have
prep
cart.
We
have
projects,
we
have
programs.
I
just
wanted
to
quickly
highlight
some
of
the
major
departments
that
fund
projects
in
the
city.
So
these
are
the
standalone
projects.
So
obviously
you
have
stuff
like
bcyf
libraries.
Build
bps
is
one
of
the
major
departments
with
individual
projects.
D
Climate
has
obviously
become
a
much
bigger
part
of
the
capital
plan,
recently
housing
for
the
first
time.
In
the
last
few
years,
we've
been
introducing
standalone
housing
projects
through
our
work
with
the
bha
municipal
buildings.
I'm
sure,
if
you
looked
outside
your
window,
if
you're
at
city
hall
right
now,
you
can
see
the
massive
and
breathtaking
work.
D
That's
underway
for
city
hall,
plaza
the
100
million
dollar
project
there,
the
parks
department,
we
are
doing
77
parks
for
over
300
million
dollars
in
neighborhoods
throughout
the
entire
city,
so
excited
about
that
investments
in
new
police
and
fire
stations,
and
obviously
a
lot
of
safety
and
health
equipment
for
our
public
first
responders
to
make
sure
that
they
are
getting
the
the
equipment
and
the
safety
materials
that
they
need.
D
So
we're
excited
about
that
investment
and
then
finally,
transportation
is
a
sort
of
individually,
the
largest
type
of
project
that
we
have
here
about
800
million
dollars
in
projects
paired
with
about
200
million
dollars
in
vision,
zero
annual
work
to
be
to
put
the
transportation
and
public
works
department
at
over
one
billion
dollars
of
the
entire
capital
plan,
so
really
reflecting
the
cities
and
and
the
mayor's
commitment
to
vision,
zero,
but
also
improving
all
modes
of
transportation.
When
it
comes
to
bike
lanes.
D
Bus
lanes,
travel,
traffic
mitigation
and
pedestrian
safety
are
all
very
high
on
the
list
and
all
contain
massive
amounts
of
investment
in
this
capital.
So
just
very
quickly
talking
about
the
annual
program.
So
annual
programs
are
the
things
we
do
every
year
and
that's
things
like
roadway
resurfacing
and
walkable
streets.
One
of
the
exciting
new
investments
we
have
in
this
year's
capital
plan
as
a
program
is
a
new,
renewed
commitment
to
making
sure
every
ada
ramp
in
the
city
is
ada
compliant
by
2030,
and
that's
a
25
million
investment
that
we'll
be
investing
in.
D
D
So
this
is
both
those
arp
programs,
annual
annual
investment
programs,
as
well
as
stuff
like
schoolyard
improvements,
security,
bathrooms
and,
and
the
like,
so
excited
to
keep
that
going
and
then
some
smaller
investments,
but
still
important
in
doing
parks,
arts
and
fire
department
and
some
of
those
annual
things
that
we
do
every
year
like
street
tree
planting
buying
fire
trucks
and
the
annual
present
for
the
art
program.
D
So,
as
I
mentioned,
the
plan
for
this
year
is
3.2
billion
streets,
as
I
mentioned,
represents
a
little
bit
over.
A
third
of
that
plan
at
about
37
percent
school
department
represents
about
23
percent
about
13
percent,
for
open
space
in
in
the
environment,
smaller
amounts
in
obviously
public
safety,
human
services,
civic
buildings
and
the
like.
D
As
I
mentioned,
the
the
capital
plan
is
funded
by
both
the
operating
by
both
geo
bonds
and
grants.
As
far
as
new
geo
spending
that
we're,
anticipating
the
majority
of
which
is
going
to
go
towards
the
school
department,
about
137
million
dollars
worth
smaller
amount
towards
streets,
environment,
open
space
and
the
like,
but
represents
sort
of
keeping
pace
with
the
billion-dollar
one
build
bps
plan
that
the
city
is
committed
to
and
this
this
level
of
investment
keeps
us
on
pace.
D
For
for
that
program,
I
wanted
to
spend
a
couple
seconds
just
talking
about
the
city's
most
recent
bond
sale
before
I
get
into
some
of
the
departmental
highlights.
The
city
back
in
december
went
to
market
for
a
306
million
dollar
transaction
about
210
million
dollars
of
which
was
new
money.
So,
basically,
new
funding
for
projects
and
about
96
million
dollars
was
for
refunding
basically
taking
out
more
expensive,
older
debt
and
replacing
it
with
cheaper,
newer
debt.
D
It
was
the
largest
transaction
in
boston's
history,
as
well
as
the
first
negotiated
sale,
which
means
we're
able
to
work
directly
with
individual
investors
in
the
last
10
years,
which
was
really
exciting.
We
also
for
the
first
time
piloted
both
the
initial
social
bond
offerings
for
the
city
as
well
as
green
bonds.
D
The
35
million
dollars
in
social
bonds
went
towards
our
housing
projects
that
we
are
investing
in
in
this
plan,
both
through
large-scale
redevelopment
projects
through
the
bha
like
the
charlestown
one,
as
well
as
more
light
touch
and
and
but
still
impactful
renovations
to
existing
programs
within
the
vha,
focusing
mostly
on
our
elderly
housing
stock.
D
So
we're
really
excited
to
not
only
go
to
market
for
those
last
year,
but
obviously
support
them
further
in
the
in
this
year's
capital
plan,
so
that
when
we
go
to
market
next
year,
we'll
likely
be
able
to
offer
more
social
bonds.
So
that's
exciting,
and
then
I
just
want
to
mention
quickly
the
green
bonds.
So,
for
the
first
time
in
the
city's
history,
we
went
to
market
and
sold
green
bonds
last
year,
really
a
testament
to
the
work
of
treasury,
and
now
deputy
cfo
drew
smith
who
really
led
that
effort
to
do.
D
You
know
some
really
groundbreaking
work
when
it
comes
to
green
bonds
and
environmental
finance.
Obviously,
the
funding
for
that
supported
some
really
important
projects,
like
the
arts
academy,
the
curly
community
center,
the
land
going
papalo
park,
as
well
as
their
new
boston,
trust,
which
is
our
efforts
to
greenify
and
create
energy
efficiency
projects
within
all
city
buildings,
and
we
were
rewarded
with
that
effort
with
an
environmental
finance
bond
award
a
couple
months
ago.
So
super
super
proud
about
that,
and
working
with
our
banking
partners
on
that
award.
D
You
know,
being
one
of
the
only
recognized
municipalities
in
the
country
for
our
our
green
bond
last
year
is
super
exciting,
as
well
as
demonstrating
a
real
pricing
benefit.
So
it's
not
just
a
the
signature
of
a
green
bond.
We
actually
made
made
a
marketable
difference
in
the
type
of
funding
we
were
able
to
get
from
that
project.
So
we're
super
excited
about
that.
D
Bps
side,
where,
as
I
mentioned,
about
166
million
or
29
increase
in
the
build
bps
budget,
so
there
are
obviously
some
major
projects
in
the
pipeline
already
baa
jquest
that
I'm
sure
my
partners
in
pfd
will
talk
about
the
new
projects
that
we
have
in
the
plan
this
year
is
that
the
beautiful
90
million
dollar
carter
school,
which
will
move
into
you,
know
final
design
and
eventually
construction
phases.
Next
year,
additional
upgrades
for
cafeteria
projects.
D
D
As
I
mentioned
on
the
street
side,
another
big
investment
there
I'll
really
talk
about
some
of
the
new
stuff
there,
but
there
is
a
whole
lot
of
work
and-
and
you
can
see
it
on
this
map
right
now-
basically
a
really
comprehensive
approach
to
the
mass
cass
melnia
washington
street
corridor,
where
there's
obviously
been
a
fair
amount
of
traffic
incidents.
But
also
you
know
safety
issues
that
we're
wanting
to
approve,
so
we're
really
taking
a
holistic
approach
on
how
to
improve
the
transportation
in
that
area.
So
that's
both.
D
You
know
dedicated
bus
lanes,
but
also
improvements
to
melania
cats,
boulevard,
expanding
the
strategic
bike
network
in
that
area
and
then
also
investments
in
boylston
street
and
then
vision
zero
for
next
year.
Not
only
continuing
the
work,
that's
in
the
plan
right
now,
but
also
increasing
that,
so
that
our
friends
in
btd
can
continue
that
work
into
next
year
with
new
neighborhoods
on
the
park
side,
I
won't
get
into
too
many
of
the
existing
projects,
but
it's
obviously
stuff
that
we
are
all.
D
You
know,
thanks
to
the
council's
support
over
the
last
couple
years,
very
indebted
to
and
and
invested
in
the
boston
common
plan.
The
franklin
park
master
plan,
a
20
million
dollar
project
in
four
point
channel
mcconnell
park,
our
annual
street
tree
planting
program,
which
was
something
that
we
made
a
big
investment
in
last
year
that
were
able
to
continue
for
this
year,
super
excited
about
those
and
then
new
parks.
I
won't
read
this
entire
list.
D
I'll
just
highlight
some
of
the
major
ones:
copley
square,
a
15
million
dollar
increase
to
rethink
the
copley
square
park
and
reinvest
in
that
major
renovation
for
that
the
malcolm
x
park,
which
is
actually
also
going
to
be
one
of
the
first
equitable
procurement
pilot
programs
that
we'll
be
undertaking
to
not
only
bring
you
know
a
robust
new
city
asset,
but
also
do
so
in
a
way
that
is
investing
equitably
consistent
with
the
most
recent
equitable
procurement
executive
orders
and
then
a
whole
host
of
new
investments
in
other
parks
in
other
neighborhoods
jeep
jones,
moakley,
christopher
columbus,
harambe,
the
dorchester
park
pathways
project,
coppin
square
and
paula
titus
are
all
new
funding
in
this
year's
plans.
D
We're
super
excited
about
that.
On
the
bpl
library
side.
It
is
a
very
robust
plan.
We
have.
We
have
so
much
in
the
pipeline
already
adam
street,
obviously
under
construction
right
now,
rare
books
under
construction
right
now
we
have
new
projects
moving
from
study
either
into
design
or
into
construction
at
eggleston
fields,
corner
and
upper
corner
in
faneuil.
Sorry
missed
that
one,
as
well
as
some
new
funding
for
projects,
including
the
chinatown
branch
library.
D
A
study
of
the
south
boston
to
put
a
to
redo
the
current
south
boston
library,
as
well
as
an
increase
for
the
roslindale
library
and
some
central
library,
facade
study,
work
to
make
sure
that
the
mckim
building
is
in
great
shape
to
continue
on
some
of
the
recent
investments
at
central
library
on
the
public
health
side
and
the
municipal
building
side.
Just
quickly.
You
can
probably
look
out
your
window
and
see
the
beautiful
city
hall
plaza.
D
The
engagement
center
in
in
the
south
end,
as
well
as
woods
mullen
both
under
construction
to
be
completed
this
year.
Court
street,
obviously
across
the
street,
is
in
design
and
some
investments
in
both
the
ems
radio
system,
as
well
as
the
family
justice
center,
and
then
some
new
funding
for
municipal
facilities,
which
is
mostly
city
hall,
as
well
as
the
ems
training
facility
at
the
river
moor,
which
is
both
a
training
facility
and
will
contain
a
new
bay
for
ems
to
service.
D
The
west,
roxbury
roslindale
jp
area,
as
well
as
long
island
funding
to
you
know,
continue
the
work
on
design.
Obviously,
our
friends
in
pfd,
public
health
and
hhs
continuing
to
work
on
the
long
island
facility,
especially
getting
that
ready
for
design
as
we
simultaneously
work
continuing
to
work
through
the
process
with
quincy
and
the
courts
and
state
around
permitting
for
the
long
island
bridge
itself,
so
funding
to
keep
that
work
going
and
excited
to
see
how
continue
to
work
on
that
into
next
year
very
quickly
on
public
safety.
D
Again,
don't
have
to
mention
this
to
all
you,
but
engine
17,
currently
moving
from
design
into
construction
in
the
next
year.
Engine
42
under
construction.
D
Obviously
to
be
completed
later
this
year,
engines,
3
and
7
37
will
move
into
the
the
study
phase,
as
well
as
east
boston,
which
is
in
construction,
east
boston,
police
station,
which
is
under
construction
as
well
as
well
as
big
investments
in
the
communications
infrastructure,
which
is
super
important
for
both
safety,
but
also
for
the
health
of
both
firefighters
and
police
and
then
a
couple
smaller
projects,
but
still
important
a
seven
million
dollar
project
at
the
bpd
to
work
on
their
roof
and
elevator,
which
has
had
some
leaking
on
it.
D
I
think
this
is
my
last
one,
but
if
not,
I
apologize,
but
finally
just
talking
about
some
of
the
climate
investments.
So
obviously
we
have
existing
projects
on
the
renew
boston,
trust
which
is
moving
from
phase
two
to
phase
three
that
next
year,
as
well
as
some
exterior
lighting
improvement
at
municipal
buildings
and
different
energy
efficiency
services
and
then,
finally,
some
new
funding
for
climate
ready,
boston,
harbor,
climate
resiliency
reserve,
as
well
as
the
mad
hunt,
woods
preservation
project
which
are
all
exciting
new
climate
projects
for
next
year.
D
I
will
end
my
part
of
the
presentation
before
I
turn
it
over
to
pfd
by
encouraging
folks
to
go
to
budget.boston.gov,
to
see
our
online
capital
maps
feature
which
our
team
and
the
department
of
I.t
as
well.
As
you
know,
all
city
departments
spends
a
lot
of
time
working
on
to
map
out
each
of
the
different
projects
that
are
in
the
city
and
in
the
capitol
plain
and
we'd,
certainly
encourage
folks
to
go.
Take
a
look
at
all
the
exciting
stuff
happening
in
their
neighborhoods
and
then.
D
Finally,
the
entire
website
budget.boston.gov
is
where
you'll
find
both
all
the
information
about
the
operating
budget
in
the
capital
plan,
but
also
the
open
data
portal.
So
if
you
wanted
to
download
the
capital
plan,
you
can
and
manipulate
it
in
excel,
so
I
will
stop
there
and
I
will
stop
sharing
my
screen
and
I
will
turn
it
over
to
kerry
and
dion.
H
Thank
you
counselor
and
good
afternoon,
counselors
and
council
blah
blah.
I'm
glad
you
don't
want
to
hear
introductions
because
my
computer
crashed
and
I
lost
all
my
files,
so
we're
going.
I'm
winging
this,
but
I'm
very
familiar
with
the
projects,
and
I
have
a
great
team
supporting
me
and
behind
me
that
are
all
on
the
call
to
start
with
chief
irish
and
then
our
senior
staff
and
our
chief
of
staff.
H
H
I'm
going
to
be
presenting
on
the
capital
side
and
my
colleague
alan
mcdonough
will
be
presenting
on
the
operational
side,
and
she
will
also
be
talking
about
the
remote
work
plan
and
transition
to
working
at
home,
as
well
as
our
e-builder
implementation.
H
Ellen
was
instrumental
with
starting
this
with
creating
the
the
policy
and
the
programs
for
the
so
that
we
could
continue
with
our
900
million
dollar
portfolio
and
not
miss
a
beat.
While
we
were
during
the
covet
pause
as
as
well
as
the
the
transition
for
to
working
at
home.
H
So,
just
to
start
off,
you
know
who
we
are.
We
are
responsible
for
the
program
and
design
of
construction
of
all
the
municipal
facilities
and
partner
with
all
user
agency
groups
to
improve
the
quality
of
the
end
users.
Experience
in
the
environment
for
city
employees,
as
well
as
building
and
renovating
state-of-the-art
facilities
for
the
community.
C
Pfd's
operating
budget
is
lean
this
year
our
operating
budget
totals
seven
million
five
hundred
and
thirty
seven
thousand
eight
hundred
and
seventy
dollars,
almost
all
of
which
accounts
for
salaries.
This
represents
an
increase
of
seven
percent.
Over
fy21,
we
have
a
small
non-personnel
budget
that
covers
things
like
office
supplies,
training
and
equipment.
C
Given
the
increase
in
projects
that
we
manage,
we
hope
to
add
two
positions
to
our
ranks
this
year,
a
project
manager
one
and
a
project
manager
too
carrie,
and
I
did
a
deep
dive
with
obm
on
the
new
projects
we
will
be
assigned
this
year.
If
the
budget
passes
and
based
on
that
assessment,
we
requested
these
two
positions.
C
C
This
year
has
obviously
seen
a
lot
of
change
across
the
city,
and
pfd
is
no
exception.
Prior
to
the
pandemic,
pfd
had
an
extremely
paper
driven
process:
contracting
bidding
invoicing,
public
facilities,
commission
boats
were
all
prepared
and
approved
on
paper.
Some
of
these
documents
could
be
hundreds
of
pages
in
length.
C
C
Once
we
left
the
office,
we
procured
e-signature
software
so
that
everything
could
be
approved
remotely
as
well.
I
am
proud
to
say
that
the
staff
at
pfd
never
had
any
pause
in
project
payments
or
work
on
projects
that
were
in
design
because
we
were
able
to
successfully
pivot
to
electronically
processing
our
work.
You
may
have
noticed
that
our
office
supply
line
decreased
by
fourteen
thousand
three
hundred
dollars.
There
was
an
elaborate
system
in
place
for
all
the
documents
and
approvals
that
I
mentioned
earlier.
C
H
H
Thank
you
ellen
and
just
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
construction
pause
in
our
emergency
work
that
we
partnered
with
d
d
on
so
for
the
construction
pause
from
march
to
may
of
2020
construction
stopped
in
the
city
for
about
55
days.
Our
clerk
of
the
works
ensured
that
all
of
our
active
construction
sites
were
buttoned
up
and
secured
for
the
closure
and
continue
to
check
on
on
their
sites
for
safety
purposes
and
to
confirm
that
no
illegal
work
was
taking
place
before
construction
sites.
H
Could
reopen
contractors
had
to
submit
a
cobit
safety
plan
to
isd
detailing
how
they
would
implement
pandemic
related
safety
issues
on
the
job
site,
including
temperature
checks
masking
and
hand
washing
stations
on
on
the
emergency
workpiece
in
april
of
2020?
During
the
first
spike
of
the
pandemic,
we
worked
with
our
partners
at
d
d
to
create
an
emergency
40
bed
homeless,
shelter
so
that
if
our
existing
shelter
system
got
over
crowded,
we
could
still
have
room
for
guests
to
socially
distance.
Our
team
designed
the
facility
in
one
week
and
built
it
in
two
weeks.
C
This
year
was
also
extremely
exciting
for
us
in
the
rollout
of
e-builder
our
online
project
management
software.
Starting
last
april,
we
went
live
with
project
schedules
and
since
then
have
implemented
processes
ranging
from
invoicing
and
contracts,
approval
to
budgets
and
the
city's
annual
sipper
program.
We
continue
to
roll
out
additional
processes
and
refine
others.
C
In
addition
to
the
changes
that
I
mentioned
earlier,
e-builder
has
been
invaluable
in
helping
us
transition
to
remote
work.
It
also
provides
tools
and
a
level
of
consistency
that
were
never
available
to
the
department
before
pms
can
more
effectively
and
efficiently
manage
their
projects,
and
we
can
look
at
a
variety
of
reports
to
see
where
we
are
as
a
department
and
where
we
need
to
improve.
C
We
are
currently
developing
e-builder
processes
for
the
public
facilities
commission
approvals
and
we're
excited
to
roll
that
out.
We
also
requested
additional
funds
this
year
to
integrate
e-builder
with
our
e-signature
software.
While
we
have
transitioned
many
of
our
processes,
such
as
invoicing
and
budgets
completely
to
e-builder.
There
are
some
processes
like
our
contracts
process,
for
which
legal
requires
that
we
have
an
e-signature
in
addition
to
an
electronic
approval
in
e-builder.
C
Currently,
that
means
the
documents
need
to
that
need
to
be
signed,
have
to
come
out
of
the
e-builder
process,
get
uploaded
into
our
e-signing
software,
routed
for
signature,
return
to
e-builder
and
complete
their
electronic
approval
there.
Our
hope,
if
you
approve
our
budget,
is
that
we
can
work
with
e-builder
to
seamlessly
integrate
all
of
that
work
in
one
place,
so
we
can
still
have
the
additional
security
of
a
signature
without
requiring
approvals
in
two
different.
H
Softwares,
thank
you
on
the
renew
boston.
Trust
is
a
partnership
between
pfd
and
the
environment
department
and
the
budget
office.
Through
this
program
we
conduct
energy
audits
and
make
energy
conservative
recommendations.
H
We
then
implement
the
energy
energy
efficient
upgrades
to
our
buildings.
We
completed
our
pilot
phase,
which
included
the
installation
of
19
different
energy
conservation
measures
in
14
buildings
in
the
fire
department,
police
department
parks,
department,
bcyf
and
the
library.
These
up,
these
upgrades
cost
11
million
dollars
and
deliver
an
annual
savings
of
650
000
from
our
utilities.
We
are
currently
in
design
for
phase
three,
which
includes
19
measures
in
31
buildings
in
the
same
departments
as
phase
one,
but
also
including
bps
phase.
H
Three
implementation
will
begin
in
late
2021
in
early
2022
and
will
make
mainly
target
bps
buildings
on
the
my
weight
cafes.
We
are
excited
about
entering
into
our
final
phase
of
bps
kitchen
upgrades
so
that
our
students
can
have
access
to
fresh,
nutritious
and
interesting
foods.
This
includes
this
phase
will
include
19
schools.
This
is
an
addition
to
50
schools
that
have
already
been
upgraded
in
previous
phases.
Schools
in
the
space
are
located
in
west
roxbury
roslindale,
the
south
end,
the
north
end
chinatown,
downtown
and
jamaica
plain.
H
So
who
we
are
on
the
capital
side,
we
pfd
manages
the
capital
construction
plan
for
all
municipal
buildings
and
we
are
governed
by
the
mass
general
laws
of
chapter
149
and
149a.
Our
current
portfolio
is
100
100
projects
totaling
900
million
dollars
in
the
next
fiscal
year.
We
will
be
adding
an
additional
21
projects.
H
H
H
So
the
mayor
and
our
city
council
have
made
an
incredible
investment
in
our
public
libraries.
We
are
in
the
process
of
completing
the
adam
street
branch,
the
roslindale
branch
and
the
ram
books
at
the
central
library,
as
well
as
engaging
with
our
neighbors
for
community
feedback
through
the
study
and
design
process.
Two
of
the
highlighted
projects
currently
in
the
study
phase,
eggleston
square
and
west
end.
H
H
Due
to
the
great
partnership
with
excuse
me,
with
this
city
council,
we've
been
able
to
secure
significant
funding
for
the
jques
project
of
in
the
amount
of
82
million
dollars
in
reimbursements.
This
will
be
a
signature
project
in
the
china,
chinatown
neighborhood
and
construction
for
the
swing
pace.
Space
will
start
in
june
of
2021
and
the
new
building
will
start
in
september
of.
H
2021,
in
addition
to
the
highlighted
new
projects
here,
we
are
also
engaged
with
bps
on
the
myway
cafes
rbt
program
and
the
msba
statement
of
interest
process
for
this
fiscal
year.
We
look
forward
to
working
with
our
partners
on
these
projects.
These
new
projects
that
we
will
be
putting
forward
with
bps.
H
We
are
currently
in
construction
for
two
projects
aimed
at
creating
a
dignified
space
for
our
most
vulnerable
population.
At
the
woods
mulling,
we
are
adding
additional
bed
and
bathroom
facilities
in
an
elevator
that
connects
all
floors
at
the
engagement
center.
We
are
about
50
percent,
through
with
construction
of
a
welcoming
space
for
individuals
that
provides
basic
resources
such
as
clean
bathrooms,
quiet
spaces
and
workstations.
H
H
We
are
excited
about
turning
over
our
first
new
fire
station
in
30
years,
engine
42
in
egleston
square.
This
firehouse
is
the
first
of
its
kind
in
the
city
and
every
and
is
the
result
of
an
exhaustive
year-long
study
with
pfd
opm
bfd
and
mass
general
hospital
that
focuses
on
the
health
and
welfare
of
our
firefighters
by
creating
by
creating
areas
to
isolate
cosmogenics.
H
H
So,
thank
you
all
and
to
all
our
city
workforce
for
your
patience
with
us.
As
we
transform
city
hall
plaza,
the
current
noise
and
destruction
disruption
will
be
worth
it
when
we
turn
over
the
over
next
spring,
a
reimagined
public
gathering
space.
H
H
A
Thank
you
so
much
carrie.
I
will
be
going
now
to
my
council
colleagues
for
questions.
I
want
to
know
that
we
were
also
joined
by
counselor
michelle
wu
carrie.
If
you
want
to
take
it
just
a
minute,
I'm
happy
to
hold
a
60
second
recess
for
you
to
grab
a
glass
of
water.
I
just
feel
like
we're
about
to
be
throwing
questions
at
you
and
it
might
be
tricky.
A
Sorry
sounds
good
and
I'll
stall
with
a
question
for
justin
justin.
The
can
you
give
us
some
sense
of.
I
think
we've
talked
before
about
the
fact
you
know
every
year
we're
setting
this
ambitious
capital
budget
based
on
the
seven
percent
policy
limit.
You
guys
have
done
a
lot
to
get
us
a
lot
closer
to
that
we're
not
there
yet
in
terms
of
what
we
actually
spend.
I
don't
have
it
in
front
of
me,
but
right
we're
probably
sitting
more
at.
A
I
don't
know
four
and
a
half
five,
where
maybe
you
have
the
numbers
for
like
where
we
kind
of
land
retrospectively
on
how
much
of
that
target-
and
I
guess
I
had
I
had
raised
this
at
the
social
and
green
bonds
hearing
that
we
had
council
rue
and
I,
but
I'm
not
sure
that
we
actually
addressed
it,
which
is
sort
of
have.
We
thought
about
having
some
of
those
things
that
we
have
that
are
kind
of
more
scalable
adjustable
like
the
tree.
A
Planting
like
the
streets
works
projects,
whatever
sort
of
like
ramp
up,
because
we
noticed
six
months
in
that
like
a
school,
has
gotten
bumped
back
three
months
and
so
we're
going
to
be
well
under
the
author.
I'm
just
kind
of
curious.
If
you
can
talk
to
the
opportunities
to
tailor
more
closely
to
meeting
those
ambitious
goals.
D
Sure
jack
was
quick
with
the
figure,
so
I
can.
I
can
give
you
the
number
so
we're
at
about
five
and
a
half
percent
for
fy22,
but
that
is
a
number
that'll
scale
up
and
get
to
seven
percent
by
fiscal
year.
2026,
I
believe
yeah
2026
will
be
at
a
shade
under
seven
percent.
It
is
always
a
balancing
act,
as
we
discussed
at
the
last
hearing.
D
D
It
is
always
going
to
be
a
little
bit
of
a
of
an
art
as
much
as
we
would
like
to
make
it
a
science,
because
there
is
tremendous
amount
of
complexity
that
go
into
these
capital
projects,
both
from
a
construction
point
of
view,
but
also
from
a
neighborhood
a
permitting
a
zoning.
All
of
these
things
take
time
and
we
have
to
sort
of
prepare.
We
do
plan
to
overborrow
from
that.
D
Seven
percent,
so
we
are
already
borrowing
more
than
sort
of
that
center
or
we're
planning
to
with
the
idea
that
some
of
that
is
going
to
fall
off.
Because
of
some
of
these
reductions,
I
will
say
we
tend
to
agree,
and
we
tend
to
try
to
ramp
up
some
of
those
annual
programs
that
we
know
we're
going
to
do
every
year.
There
is
always
a
lot
of
complexity
that
goes
into
those
as
well,
even
something
that
seems
as
sort
of
straightforward
as
either
road
repaving
or
street
tree
planting
is.
D
You
know
there
is
also
a
certain
amount
of
construction
that
can
go
on
in
the
city
at
any
time,
anyways.
We
can't
shut
down
every
road
so
that
we
can
all
repave
them,
because
we
have
some
extra
bonding
capacity.
So
I
think
we're
we're
always
mindful
of
the
balancing
act
of
that
and
something
that
we're
trying
to
push
forward
on,
but
it
is,
it
is
always
going
to
be
a
little
bit
of
a
lag
depending
on
where
we
are
with
the
construction
cycle.
A
Great,
I
mean
thanks,
I
I
think
yeah
I
I
always
want
to
be
doing
more
on
it,
but
I
appreciate
all
the
efforts-
and
I
guess
my
companion
question
to
carrie
now
that
she's
back
is,
I
think
it
was
you,
but
it
might
have
been
ellen,
who
mentioned
pfd's
lean
staffing
structure,
and
I
guess
that
part
of
you
know
part
of
my
agitation
on
this
has
also
been
like.
A
Let's
make
sure
that
the
number
of
project
managers
is
not
the
throttle
on
how
much
of
this
capital
work,
we
can
get
done,
and
so
I
know
you
mentioned
the
two
new
ones
hoping
to
come
on.
I
think
that
my
sense
is
that
we
haven't
always
filled
at
pfd
all
the
positions
that
the
council
has
budgeted
for.
I
think
we've
narrowed
that
gap
a
little
bit
in
the
last
couple
years
like
I
think
it
was
maybe
nine
under
two
years
ago
and
now
it's
kind
of
come
down
a
bit.
A
But
if
you
can
just
talk
about
sort
of
the
plan
for
those
two
additional
people,
your
confidence
about
kind
of
getting
that
full
staffing
in
and
any
strategies
to
make
sure
on
that
front,
because
I
I
hate,
like
you
know
to
think
that
that
there
are
any
project
that
there's
any
amount
of
that
capital
spending
that
we
don't
actually
get
done
in
the
year,
because
we've
constrained
ourselves
on
the
human
capital
side
at
pfd.
D
H
Thanks
chief,
yes,
no
we're
you
know,
I
I've
been
in
this
position
now.
I
think
for
two
months
and
we've
looked
at
you
know,
and
we
worked
with
our
partners
at
obm
to
to
you
know
they
recognize
the
need.
We,
you
know
we
sometimes
it's
difficult
to
fill
our
positions
because
they
are
technical
and
you
do
need
some
level
of
expertise
in
construction
or
engineering.
H
But
you
know,
I
think
we
have
a
really
good
job
market
for
that,
and
I
think
you
know
our
candidate
pool
has
been
excellent.
You
know
we
get
probably
about
10
to
20
qualified
now
about
at
least
10
qualified
candidates
within
all
the
applications.
So
it's
something
that
we
are
working
aggressively
on,
because
you
know
we
we
want
to.
We
don't
ever
want
to
be
in
a
position
where
we
can't
do
work
because
of
our
capacity,
and
so
we
we
manage
that.
A
Thank
you.
No.
I
appreciate
that.
I
think
I'm
gonna
go
now
to
my
colleagues.
So
the
first
step
I
believe,
is
counselor
braden.
Let
me
just
pull
my
yes
counselor
braden.
Then
it's
mejia
asabi
george
campbell
woo,
councilor
braden.
You
have
the
floor.
Oh
wait!
Sorry!
I
know
I
said
you
have
a
floor,
but
one
thing
is
just
I
am
gonna.
I've
been
a
little
loose
on
timing
for
a
few
of
these.
A
I'm
gonna
be
strict
on
timing
for
this
one,
because
I
know
that
people
have
an
infinite
number
of
capital
projects
they
could
ask
about
and
we're
not
gonna
ask
about
them
all
in
the
first
round.
So
so
I
will
actually
use
the
gavilan
timer
and
that's
just
fair
warning
to
all
of
my
colleagues,
council
braden.
F
Thank
you
and
madam
chair
and
thank
you
to
the
team.
I
I
have
to
applaud
you
for
the
really
incredibly
efficient
transition
to
online
and
and
you
save
lots-
you've
probably
seen
thousands
of
trees
already.
So
I
really
I'm
very
impressed
with
with
that
efficient
transfer,
district,
9,
austin
brighton,
we're
delighted
to
know
that
the
faneuil
library
project
is
actually
hoping
to
get
into
construction
one
of
these
days.
F
I
know
we're
still
negotiating
some
details
at
the
end
about
costs,
but
I
I'm
hoping
maybe
you
could
furnish
me
with
a
date-
a
start
date
when
the
construction
will
actually
start
we
closed
in
november,
and
everyone
is
very
anxious
to
get
that
project
moving,
so
we
can
open
quickly.
F
I
also
had
a
question
about
the
brighton
high
school
locker
rooms.
They
were
in
last
year's.
I
know
it's
a
budget
that
goes
over
several
years.
I
I
this
is
my
second
budget.
I
I
wonder
when
the
the,
when
that
project
will
start
as
well,
it
was
it
was
budgeted
for
last
year
and
it's
in
the
budget
again
this
year,
so
it
hasn't
been
completed
or
started.
F
Then
there
was
a
question
about
mckinney
playground
has
been
in
a
study
and
the
study
is
starting
to
get
old
and
in
my
talks
with
some
of
the
folks
at
the
environment
department,
they
get
a
little
concerned
that
when
a
study
starts
to
get
to
like
the
three
or
four
year
stage,
because
then
the
study
is
sort
of
obsolete.
If
we
leave
it
too
long,
I
wonder:
is
there
any
plans
to
to
get
moving
on
on
that
project?
F
And,
oh,
yes
and
commonwealth
alph
is
phase
three
and
four
and
commonwealth
have
phase
three
b,
and
can
you
help
me
understand
you
know?
Commonwealth
ave
is,
is
a
is
a
state
road,
as
far
as
I
understand
like
is
there?
Is
there
a
cost
sharing
in
terms
of
improvements
on
that
on
comm
ave
out
here
in
brighton
and
yeah?
I
think
that's
a
good
start
I'll
probably
come
back
for
more
questions.
H
Councillor,
I
can
answer
most
of
these
questions
and
for
the
the
faneuil
hall
we
had
our
pre-construction
meeting
first
pre-construction
meeting
last
friday,
the
contractor
has
received
keith
the
building
and
we
usually
start
seeing
some
movement
and
some
mobilization
out
there
within
the
next
I
would
say
within
the
next
month
we
are
still
working
through
the
contract
execution,
but
we
have.
We
have
actually
had
the
meeting
and
the
you
know
we
will
be
starting
to
mobilize
on
the
brighton
locker
room.
H
That
project
is
actually
out
to
bid
right
now
and
we
look
forward
to
awarding
that.
Hopefully,
within
you
know,
once
we
receive
the
general
and
filed
sub-bids,
we
look
forward
to
awarding
that
by
before
the
summer
so
that
we
can
get
in
there
and
take
advantage
of
that
time
on
the
mckinley
I'm
going
to
have
to
get
back
to
you,
I'm
not
familiar
with
that
one
and
on
the
com,
commonwealth,
I'll
turn
over
to
justin.
D
Sure
and
I'll
give
you
the
the
high
high
level
counselor
and
then
I'll
I'll
certainly
defer
questions
to
btd.
So
this
is
a.
It
is
a
partnership
with
the
mbta
in
the
state
around
that
road.
So
it
really
covers
the
area
between
brighton
ave,
sort
of
the
packard's
corner
area
and
then
the
warren
and
kelton
street
area.
D
It
is
both
sort
of
to
improve
the
the
t
services
there
in
the
roadways,
but
also
to
put
in
bike
lanes
improving
the
sidewalk,
improving
some
of
the
gradation
around
that
side,
we're
contributing
certainly
to
the
design
and
construction
on
city,
property
and
city
parts
of
it
and
then
it'll,
be
in
conjunction
with
some
state
work
that
they'll
do
at
the
t
and
on
the
roadway
itself.
F
I
think
that's,
madam
chair,
I'm
sure
out
of
time
am
I.
A
G
No
I'll
take
that
minute
and
understand.
So
thank
you
all
for
being
here.
It's
good
to
see
you
ellen
and
justin,
and
welcome
to
the
squad
kerry.
So
just
I
have
a
few
questions
very
and
you're
lucky,
I'm
not
a
district
council,
I'm
at
large,
so
I
don't
have
any
specific
projects,
but
I'm
just
curious.
G
If
we
could
talk
a
little
bit
about
you
know
a
lot
of
people
think
of
climate
resilience
as
a
bit
of
a
buzzword,
because
a
lot
of
people
aren't
asking
for
resilience
to
climate
change,
they're
asking
for
projects
that
actively
fight
climate
change.
G
So
how
are
we
working
with
the
community
to
design
projects
that
are
not
just
delaying
the
that
are
that
are
not
just
delaying
the
impacts
of
climate
change
with
this
is
another
question
is
with
a
lot
of
capital,
and
maybe
I
should
put
my
glasses
on
with
a
lot
of
capital
development
projects,
particularly
around
schools
and
libraries.
A
lot
of
people
are
are
being
kept
out
of
the
process.
How
are
we
being
entitled
not
just
designing
space
for
the
community
but
designing
the
process
that
engages
the
community?
G
I
asked
this
question
last
year,
but
I'm
curious
to
see
what
we're
doing
to
create
opportunities
for
young
people
in
our
imagine
2030
plan,
particularly
around
street
tree
planting.
Is
there
and
then
two
more?
Is
there
a
capital?
Excuse
me:
is
there
a
capital
projects,
map
available
in
languages
other
than
english
and,
lastly,
I'd
love
to
hear
what
have
been
some
of
your
strategies
to
contract
more
minority
and
business
and
women-owned
businesses?
G
I'm
curious
to
know
how
many
businesses
are
bidding
for
some
of
these
projects.
How
how
many
have
been
approved.
D
Sure
I'll
take
a
couple,
carry
and
then
turn
over
to
you
for
whatever
I
missed
so
on
the
on
the
I'll.
Take
them
in
reverse
order,
so
on
the
sort
of
equivalent
procurement
side
engaging
local
minority
owned
businesses.
It
is
deeply
connected
with
our
work
around
the
equitable
procurement
ordinance
from
both
2019
and
the
most
recent
one.
D
One
of
the
things
that
we
did
both
in
this
last
year,
budget
in
the
operating
budget
as
part
of
the
operating
budget
development
that
we're
bringing
to
the
capital
plan
is
requesting
procurement
plans
for
each
the
department,
so
all
of
their
upcoming
procurement
sort
of
what
are
you
going
to
buy
next
year?
We
are
now
undertaking
that
process
with
the
capital
plan
departments
as
well,
so
obviously,
900
million
dollars
worth
of
of
spending
over
the
next
five
years
is
through
kerry
and
her
shop.
D
But
there
is,
you
know,
a
billion
dollars
in
transportation,
and
you
know
hundreds
of
millions
and
other
departments
that
we're
going
to
be
working
with
parks.
Other
other
folks,
like
that
to
find
the
types
of
projects
that
we
can
target
for
the
new
equitable
procurement
goals
for
the
city.
The
most
recent
one,
the
one
that
was
announced
a
couple
weeks
ago,
that
we're
working
on
piloting
is
the
malcolm
x
park,
which
is
a
capital
project
that
is
going
to
set
specific
goals
for
local
contractors
and
how
we
achieve
those.
D
D
G
Before
you
go
on,
can
you
just?
Are
there
any
specific
numbers
goals
and
objectives
that
you're?
You
know
you're
trying
to
reach
like
how
many
businesses,
how
many
dollars
can
you
go
into
some
of
the
details
about
what
that
looks
like.
D
Yep,
so
I
I
I
unfortunately
can't
go
into
the
details
on
the
specific
I'd
have
to
defer
to
chief
farios
milner
when,
when
I'm
sure
she'll
come
before
you
that
each
of
the
different
segments
of
industry,
so
whether
it's
carpentry
or
plumbing,
or
whatever
they're,
going
to
have
different
types
of
available
availability
in
in
the
industry
as
well
as
coals
and
targets,
so
we're
working
all
of
that
out
on
a
project-by-project
basis,
because
that's
what
that's
really
where
you're
going
to
make
progress
on
this
is
trying
to
target
individual
big
projects
like
this.
D
So
unfortunately
I'll
have
to
follow
up
and
certainly
have
chief
aerials
milner
prepared
to
to
talk
to
through
that
a
little
bit
as
well
and
and
get
you
some
of
those
answers
on
the
climate
resiliency
piece.
I
just
want
to
mention
really
two
big
projects,
one
that
thinks
about
the
long-term
structural
changes
and
certainly
around
energy
efficiency
and
energy
conservation
through
the
renew
boston
trust
which
is
really
about
attacking
the
long-term
effects
of
climate
change
and
the
long-term
changes
to
climate
change.
D
And
then
I
have
to
mention
the
curly
community
center,
the
big
beautiful
new
community
center.
That's
going
to
be
a
resilient
asset
both
on
the
waterfront,
that's
going
to
protect
the
neighborhood
behind
it,
but
also
make
sure
that
the
building
is
there
for
years
to
come.
So
it's
both
a.
How
do
we
attack
the
long-term
effects
of
climate
change
and
and
trying
to
reverse
them
and
stop
them,
and
then
how
do
we
protect
those
neighborhoods
using
those
city
assets
that
we
do
have
that
are
on
the
waterfront
as
natural
barriers?
D
H
Sure,
thank
you
chief,
yes,
so
just
to
echo
that
chief,
yes,
it
is
about
mitigation,
but
also
adaptation.
H
When
it
comes
to
climate
and
the
you
know,
another
thing
that
we
do
is
we
have
an
ordinance
in
terms
of
the
net
zero
requirement
for
new
construction
that
we,
you
know,
hopefully,
will
be
implementing
on
our
ems
project
when
we
start
that-
and
that
is
just
that
is
for
new
construction
and
then
the
you
know-
and
you
know,
chief
talked
about
the
the
the
curly
center.
That's
that's
again
a
big
one
for
us
in
terms
of
in
in
in
in
all
of
our
buildings.
H
You
know,
in
terms
of
you
know
we
don't
put
on
we
we
do
not.
We
do
not
want
to
put
our
mechanical
spaces
in
the
basements.
You
know
we
want
those
on
the
higher
floors
we
want
to.
You
know
the
rpt
program
we're
looking
for.
We
also,
you
know,
rebates
and
looking
for
all
efficiencies,
and
not
only
that,
like
we
also
have
partnerships
when
we
enter
into
any
construction
contract,
we
enter
into
partnerships
with
national
grid
and
eversource,
and
we
do
a
rebate
program
based
on
that.
So
we
always.
G
I'm
sorry
carrie
because
I
see
the
dabble
and
I
still
I
I
feel,
well-versed
and
and
appreciate
the
the
climate
change
answer
and
I-
and
I
definitely
would
like
to
hear
about
your
community
engagement
processes.
Can
we
just
at
least
get
some
feedback
around
that
and
then
I
guess
I'll
just
have
to
wait
next
round
further
to
get
answers
to
the
other
questions
that
I
have
sure.
H
So
I
I
think
we
have
a
robust
process
when
we
engage
the
community
we
the
office
of
neighborhood
services,
we
do
multiple
languages,
we
engage
with
the
community
services,
we
have.
We
just
had
a
meeting
this
week
on
carman
square
study
and
they
were,
I
believe,
76
participants
from
the
neighborhood
and
then
we
had
eggleston
square.
This
will
be
our
fifth
community
meeting.
H
We
do
a
lot
of
outreach
with
our
partners,
both
for
whether
it's
community
centers
public
libraries
and
then
we
work
with
our
neighborhood
services
groups,
and
you
know
we,
we,
the
the
community
and
their
feedback,
is
they're
a
vital
piece
to
how
we
move
forward
on
a
project
when
we
do
when
we
do
a
project
study,
it's
not
just
looking
at
test
fits
or
mass
strategies.
It's
looking
at
what
the
demographics
of
the
neighborhood.
What
does
the
neighborhood
want?
Some
things
that
are,
you
know,
particular
for
them.
H
We
we
take
that
into
account
with
all
of
our
projects
when
we
do
this
public
process.
So
it's
very
important
to
our
process.
G
A
We
will
have
a
second
round.
Thank
you,
councillor,
mejia
next
stop's,
counselor,
isabe,
george
and
then
it'll
be
councillor
campbell.
I
do
just
want
to
know.
We
were
also
joined
by
councillor
edwin
from
district
2.,
counselor
sabi
george.
B
Thank
you
very
much,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
chiefs
and
your
team
for
a
very
thoughtful
and
thorough
presentation.
I
stepped
away
for
a
few
minutes,
so
I
hope
that
this
wasn't
covered.
B
I
know
it
was
briefly
mentioned,
I
think
at
least
in
kerry's
presentation,
but
you
know
last
year
we
started
construction
at
some
point
on
a
permanent
engagement
center
when
we
think
about
what's
happening
at
nasa
cast
with
the
engagement
center
behind
south
hampton
street
shelter
that
renovation
work
is
underway,
as
well
as
the
woods
mullen
shelter,
which
is
a
woman's
shelter.
Can
we
get
a
more
in-depth
update
on
these
projects
and
when
we're
scheduled
for
completion?
B
I
also
I'm
curious
if
there
are
any
other
studies
underway
or
upcoming,
around
capital
improvements
to
any
of
our
shelter
buildings,
and
then
how
has
covid
and
the
implications
of
how
it
how
we
need
to
maybe
adjust
some
of
our
human
behavior.
We
think
about
movement
and
capacity
and
and
sort
of
the
flow
of
the
building
has
that
has
that
impacted
any
changes
to
those
those
renovations.
H
G
H
November
2000
november
of
this
year,
the
the
woods
mullin-
the
original
date
was
supposed
to
be
for
november,
but
we
did
run
into
issues
with
the
roxbury
canal
and
we're
working
through
those
with
our
partners
at
boston,
water
and
sewer.
So
there
has
been
a
delay
in
that
project
and
so
we're
anticipating
that
which
was
supposed
to
be
a
november
turnover,
will
probably
be
now
in
january,
but
I
can
update
you
more
on
that
as
we
progress
and
work
through
these
issues.
H
The
in
terms
of
did
the
kobe
change
the
design,
no,
not
not
the
current
design.
I
think
you
know
what
the
what
we're
doing
at
the
woods,
mall
and
shelter
with
adding
new
beds
and
bathroom
facilities.
H
You
know
that
that's
going
to
improve,
they
currently
do
not
they
don't
max
their
occupancy
there,
and
you
know
we
work
very
closely
with
them,
and
you
know
jerry
thomas
and
the
whole
public
health
group,
they're
fantastic
partners,
and
we
work
very
closely
with
them
through
the
project
through
schedule
through
issues
through.
You
know
if
there's
something
that
we
can
do
for
them
during
the
project
that
you
know
we
need
to
pivot
towards
something.
H
So
it's
and
I'm
sorry,
I
I
didn't
write
down
your
other
question
counselor.
I
apologize.
B
The
third
question:
the
third
question:
that's
no
worries.
The
third
question
was
more
around.
You
know
any
any
studies
in
the
pipeline
around
additional
capital
improvements,
in
particular
when
we
think
about
our
homeless
population
and
the
shelter
services
we
provide
as
a
city.
H
You
know
on
that
and
we
will
be
moving
forward
with
that
project
in
terms
of
starting
some
stabilization
and
mitigation
of
the
island
and
some
of
the
infrastructure
on
our
facilities
and
utilities
there.
So
that
will
be
moving
forward.
B
That's
great,
I'm
really
thrilled
to
hear
about
that.
I
think
we'll
have
a
longer
discussion
conversation
in
a
subsequent
hearing
around
some
of
that
work
and
I'm
sure
that
I
cannot
see
madam
chair
in
on
my
phone
so
for
I
think
for
a
second
round,
but
I'll
preview
it
now.
I
I
do
believe
that
we
should
be
doing
a
new,
a
study
around
some
capital
funding
capital
improvements
around
the
boston
police
crime
lab.
B
I
you
know
understand
that
the
department
has
an
old
item
on
an
old
study
on
file
and
that
the
there
is
some
investment
that
share
an
expanded,
forensics
upgrade
or
some
sort
of
facilities
upgrade
to
the
forensic
lab
forensics
lab,
and
you
know
I
just
there's
a
direct
correlation
between
the
quality
and
the
ability,
the
capacity
of
our
lab
to
solve
crime
and
to
investigate
crime,
but
also
to
make
sure
that
we're
reducing
the
number
of
unsolved
unsolved
cases.
B
Some
state
requirements
around
processing,
unsolved
rape
cases,
and
you
know
making
sure
that
we've
got
the
resources
that
we
need
and
a
crime
lab.
That
is
certainly
well
highly
accredited
and
a
model.
We
just
need
more
space
and
a
greater
ability
to
do
the
work.
That's
there
so
perhaps
in
the
next
round
we
can
get
to
that.
So
I'm
certain
my
time
is
up
now.
A
B
A
Be
prepared
for
the
second
round
and
I'm
not
in
detail
all
right,
counselor
campbell
and
then
I
think,
we'll
be
going
to
counselor
flynn
counselor
campbell.
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
of
course
to
oh,
my
video
isn't
on
and
thank
you,
of
course,
to
everyone
for
their
hard
work,
particularly
in
covid.
Just
to
want
to
it
would
be
helpful.
Is
that
maybe
we
can
just
get
a
list
probably
which
projects
you
know
we've
been
talking
about.
What
does
it
mean
to
accelerate
some
of
the
capital
projects
either
with
some
of
our
recent
covert
relief
dollars
or
because
interest
rates
are
so
low?
Let's
take
full
advantage
right
so
just
curious.
I
What
projects
those
have
what
projects
have
been
accelerated.
So
if
there's
a
list
of
projects,
for
example,
that
would
be
helpful
and
then
the
second
question.
I
guess
the
first
wasn't
really
a
question,
but
the
second
one
is
on
long
island.
Obviously,
we've
been
talking
about
rebuilding
the
bridge
long
island
for
a
really
long
time
that
is
going
to
take
a
long
time
and
we
we
sort
of
knew
that
even
when
it
was
introduced.
I
So
I'm
just
curious
if
the
administration
has
explored
ferry
service
feasibility
study
around
ferry
service
connected
with
some
of
our
medical
institutions
around
how
this
might
work,
because
there
seems
to
be
a
greater
appetite
for
this
not
as
a
way
to
do
away
with
the
long
island
bridge
rebuilt
fully
support
that
with
something
more
in
the
short
term.
So
we'd
love
to
hear
some
more
on
that.
E
D
I
would
say
is
on
the
what
we've
added
to
the
plants
we've
added
about
350
million
dollars
a
huge
amount
of
money
to
the
plan
for
this
year,
so
we
can
certainly
give
you
a
list
of
all
the
new
new
projects
that
are
in
the
plan.
As
far
as
you
know,
what
do
we
think
about
for
federal
dollars?
We
haven't
had
that
conversation
with
the
council
yet,
and
the
school
committee
is
just
kicking
off
their
conversation
around
that
money
as
well.
So
I
do
think
that
that'll
be
center.
D
In
that
conversation,
it's
one
a
good
use
of
the
money,
it's
two
with
one
time
in
nature,
so
it
makes
sense
to
use
federal
money
for
those
purposes
and
it's
badly
needed
in
many
of
our
buildings
that
were
built,
especially
in
the
school
department
before
world
war
ii,
so
certainly
that
that
will
be
front
and
center.
I
think
in
many
of
those
conversations
as
far
as
the
long
island
goes
as
kerry
mentioned,
you
know
we're
finishing
up
the
design
or
the
study.
D
I
should
say
of
the
island
itself
and
sort
of
what
of
the
facilities
and
what
are
the
programming
that'll
go
out
there.
I
will
say
that
you
know
when
you
talk
to
the
public
health
experts.
D
It
is
pretty
hard
to
run
a
a
meaningful
facility
out
there
without
a
bridge
right,
even
if
you
do
fairy
service,
even
if
you
build
some
on-site
stuff,
you're
going
to
need
sort
of
a
bridge
in
some
capacity
to
get
the
type
of
emergency
services
and
type
of
approvals
from
the
state
that
we
will
need
to
run
the
type
of
medical
facilities
we'll
want
out
there.
But
I
would
defer
to
you
know
further
conversation
with
both
chief
martinez
but
phc
and
kerry
as
well
around
what
those
capabilities
are.
D
It's
certainly
something
that
we're
we're
trying
to
do.
You
know
we're
trying
to
look
at
all
options
right
now.
The
bridge
is
a
significant
commitment
and
we've
had
a
substantial
amount
of
legal
victories
in
its
in
its
approval
process,
and
we
are
very
close
to
getting
all
the
approvals.
We
will
need
from
the
state
to
move
forward
with
it.
D
I
Well,
I
will
just
say
you
know,
I
I
hear
you
on
the
bridge,
the
challenge
that
I
have,
and
I
think
many
residents
who
are
living,
particularly
in
those
areas
or
neighbors
of
the
city
struggling
with
the
homelessness
opioid
crisis,
we're
seeing
on
full
display
and
frankly
get
worse
is
that
the
long
island
bridge
conversation
is
still
long-term
by
many
metrics
the
ferry
service.
So
I
actually
took
quite
a
bit
extensive
time
not
just
connecting
with
health
care
providers,
bmc
ferry
companies
and
others
that
agreed.
It
is
tricky.
I
I
know
my
time
and
I'm
sure
the
gavel
is
going
to
go
up,
so
I
will
continue
that
conversation.
My
last
question
before
I
lose
time
is
on
obviously
slow
streets
projects.
Folks,
obviously
very
excited
to
get
those
windows,
even
though
we're
we're
pushing
for
more
comprehensive
structural
changes
across
the
city,
where
obviously
one
neighborhood
isn't
pitted
against
the
other,
but
some
neighborhoods
obviously
have
been
approved
over
the
last
two
cycles,
and
many
of
those
projects
have
not
started
at
all.
So
what
does
this
mean?
I
In
terms
of
these
projects,
as
we
begin
to
do
more
structural
changes,
we
can
add,
of
course,
a
project
to
the
pipeline,
but
if
it's
going
to
take
10
years
or
five
years
or
two
folks
who
are
dealing
with
speeding,
cars
or
other
concerns
around
safety
are
really
concerned
about
the
timeline.
So
what
are
we
doing
to
respond
and
to
speed
it
up?.
D
Great
questions
and
I'll
certainly
defer
some
of
this
conversation
to
the
the
btd
and
public
works,
but
from
a
holistic
point
of
view,
we're
using
actually
a
couple
different
buckets
of
funding
to
make
some
of
those
near-term
improvements.
Some
of
it's
the
operating
budget,
some
of
it's
tnc
money,
the
transportation
network,
companies,
money
that
we've
been
debt,
that
the
account
do
do
good
work
with
the
council
has
been
dedicating
to
short
term
sort
of
speed
ramps
and
the
flex
posts
and
some
of
the
shorter
term
stuff.
D
What
I
would
say
is
you're
you're
right.
Some
of
the
larger
projects
slow
streets
have
been
a
bit
delayed.
I
think
about
10
of
them
are
going
to
go
into
construction
in
the
next
year,
so
we
will
start
seeing
some
meaningful
progress.
You
know.
Kovit
certainly
had
its
its
total
on
on
some
of
those
projects
as
well
and
we're
adding
new
funding
to
keep
that
process
going
right.
D
The
the
application
process
was
an
opportunity
to
bring
a
more
transparent
lens
and
more
sort
of
equitable
lens
to
the
types
of
decisions
that
were
made
around
neighborhoods
and
we
think
it's
a
successful
program.
Obviously,
but
we
think
it's
one
that's
going
to
bear
fruit
in
in
the
years
to
come,
as
as
a
lot
of
those
enter
construction
in
the
next
year.
A
Thank
you,
councillor
campbell
next
steps,
counselor.
J
Flynn
you
councilwood
walk.
Thank
you
chibok,
it's
good
to
see
the
dedicated
and
professional
staff
from
public
public
facilities.
I
want
to
say
thank
you
for
all
your
great
work,
especially
during
these
difficult
times.
My
question
is:
can
you
tell
me
or
give
me
a
little
bit
of
background
on
the
proposed
ems
station
in
the
south
boston
waterfront,
the
seaport?
H
Thank
you
councillor
right
now.
We
are
still
in
the
study
phase
on
that
and
we're
working
with
our
partners
from
btda
to
identify
a
parcel
for
the
in
terms
of
based
on
the
program
study
that
was
done
for
their
needs.
H
So
we
are
not
in
design
for
a
construction
project
yet,
but
we
do
have
a
lot
of
background
information
based
on
the
study
that
we
performed
for
that
area
and
looking
for
a
co-location
and
a
partner.
If
this
was
going
to
be
a
part
of
a
development.
J
Thank
you.
Thank
you
kerry.
I
appreciate
that
answer.
I
know
it's
important
to
the
residents
of
fort
point
into
the
south
boston
waterfront
to
have
either
a
police
and
ambulance
facility
in
in
the
waterfront,
obviously,
for
public
health
and
public
safety
reasons.
It's
it's
critical
and
then
I
know
your
team
is
working
working,
making
a
lot
of
progress
on
the
curling
recreation
center.
The
all
street
bath
hosts
that's
going
to
be
a
gem
for
the
city,
it's
used
by
people
from
all
in
all
neighborhoods
of
the
of
of
the
city.
Can
you
just?
H
Sure,
thank
you,
council.
Yes,
it's
it's
it's
going.
We
we
did
run
into
a
couple
of
in
unforeseen
conditions.
Well,
we
was
well.
We
started
that
we
are
mitigating
and
working
through
recovery
on
our
schedule
for
that,
but
in
general
we
have
a
you
know.
We
have
a
great
project
team
and
we're
working
closely
with
the
community
center
as
these
issues
arise
so
that
we
keep
them
informed
and
so
that
the
neighborhood
is
informed
too,
of
where
our
current
project
status
is.
H
J
A
Great
thank
you,
councillor
flynn,
I'll,
go
to
myself
now
and
I
have
a
few
district
eight
questions.
So
one
is
just
if
I
could
get
an
update.
I
know
we've
got
a
third
meeting
coming
up
but
kind
of
on
where
the
west
end
library
study
is
at
I,
and
really
I
mean
I
sort
of
I
know
where
the
studies
at
we're
going
into
our
third
meeting.
We're
really
excited.
A
I'm
really
excited
about
the
opportunity
to
have
a
library
there
that
both
like
really
serves
sort
of
expanded
library
needs
it's
one
of
the
most
used
branches
in
the
whole
system
and
also
provides
us
with
an
opportunity
to
provide
some
housing
on
on
city-owned
land.
A
So
that's
something
that
I'm
excited
about
and
I'm
just
kind
of
wondering
how
pfd
is
thinking
about
that,
because
I
think
it's
this
one
and
maybe
also
eggleston,
where
you're
thinking
about
that
and
obviously
so,
I'm
familiar
with
the
affordable
housing
development
side
of
the
world
and
the
public
housing
side
and
and
obviously
like
that's
often
quite
a
different
bid
and
construction
process
than
the
library
one.
And
so
here
you
know
you're
sort
of
fusing
the
two.
A
H
So
right
now
we're
we're
probably
at
about
80
with
the
study
and,
like
you
said,
we
are
going
into
our
third
or
fourth
community
meeting
for
the
west
end,
but
the
we
you
know
we
have
a
lot
of
neighborhood
support
for
a
you
know,
a
a
dual
building,
housing
and
library
for
in
the
west
end
project
and
we're
working
closely
with
taylor,
kane
and
the
d
d
team
for
that.
But
in
terms
of
where
we
we
should
be
complete
with
our
study.
H
By
june
of
2021
and
in
terms
of
and
basically
what
our
study
does
is
the
recommendation
you
know
and
that's
based
on
you
know,
we
look
at
massing
strategies
for
what
the
the
core
program
for
what
the
library
needs
are,
and
we
work
closely
with
bpl
on
that
and
we,
you
know
in
terms
of
what
their
core
program
is,
and
you
know
based
on
that.
H
Do
we
do
a
test
fit
and
you
know
see
if
we
can
make
those
things
work
you
know
and
then
we'll
partner
with
this
is
actually
pfd's
first
time
partnering
with
something
like
this,
so
we're
excited
about
it,
we're
looking
forward
to
it,
but
right
now,
where
we're.
Where
we're
you
know
the
next
steps.
After
this
study,
I'm
not
sure
I
think,
there's
still
more,
we
have
to
do
on
the
housing.
The
combination
of
the
two.
A
Yeah,
and
just
I
I
guess
I
just
want
to
say,
I
know
enough
about
that-
to
know
it's
going
to
be
complicated
and
would
love
as
a
counselor
for
the
area
to
be
a
partner
and
just
thinking
about
how
to
how
to
do
it
effectively,
and
you
know
it's
something
where
we'll
be
impatient
for
it
right
like
once,
it's
once
there's
a
plan
that
everyone
will
be
like:
oh
well,
when's
it
happening,
and
especially
because
of
the
heavy
use
of
that
library.
A
We've
really
missed
it
during
the
pandemic
on
a
bunch
of
different
fronts,
it's
been
where
the
food
pantries
run
out
of
it's.
You
know
it's
the
gathering
space
public
bathrooms
seniors,
go
there,
families
with
kids,
I
mean
it's
just
you
know
so
yeah.
I
would
love
to
work
with
you
guys
on
making
sure
that
the
novelty
of
the
of
the
thing
doesn't
sort
of
cause
it
to
stall
out
from
a
timing
perspective.
A
Just
because
again,
I
also
want
I
feel
like
this
one's
happening
in
my
district,
and
if
we
could
make
it
a
good
model
that
happens
expeditiously,
then
it
helps
us
say
in
other
places,
hey.
We
could
do
this
without
slowing
down
the
the
prospect
of
getting
your
new
library,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
flag
that
and
put
it
on
the
radar.
H
No
thank
you
councilman.
We.
We
would
appreciate
your
support
with
that.
We
think
it's
important
so
yeah
we
will
be
working
and
we'll
be
working
with
our
partners
at
obm
on
next
steps.
Once
we
have
a
study
and
the
study
is
is-
is
pretty
involved
in
terms
of
we
do
look
at
other
areas
where
this
has
been
successful
and
that
again
is
based
on
similar
demographics,
so
yeah.
So
we
are.
We
are
looking
forward
to
this.
We're
excited
about
this
one
too.
H
If
it
comes
to
fruition,
just
because
we
haven't
done
this
type
of
partnership,
so
it'll
be
new,
it
will
be
new
for
us
too.
A
Great
and
then
I'm
super
excited
that
we're
getting
the
the
tool
shed
maintenance
chat
in
the
in
the
public
library
on
the
on
the
new
projects
list.
It's
something
that
people
have
been
pushing
for
for
a
long
time.
We've
had
some
some
it's
a
combination
of
functionally
it's
really
falling
apart.
A
There's
been
some
safety
concerns
in
the
area
recently
over
the
last
year,
so
I
just
would
love
to
get
a
feel
for
you
know,
being
in
the
capital
budget
and
then
kind
of
being
on
the
schedule.
Our
two
different
statements
so
sort
of
get
a
sense
of
when
I
should
expect
if
this
capital
budget
were
to
pass.
You
know
some
like
what's
the
kind
of
likely
timeline
on
on
looking
at
that.
H
Thank
you,
council,
that's
a
good
question,
I'm
sure
every
everyone's
interested
in
that
answer
for
all
their
buildings
in
the
district,
and
we
we
understand
that
we
appreciate
it.
So
what
we
do
is
and
we've
already
started
the
process
we've
already
started,
reaching
out
to
bps
to
bpl.
H
We
will
reach
out
to
all
of
our
partners
and
user
agencies
and
we
will
come
up
with
the
plan
in
terms
of
prioritizing
we've
already
looked
at
our
own
internal
capacity
for
what
you
know.
You
know,
and
we
know
what
we
can
add
on
to
people,
and
you
know
for
the
next
for
the
21
projects
that
are
part
of
this
plan.
If
it's
approved,
you
know,
we
think
we'll
be
able
to
get
to
the
the
majority
of
them
within
this
first
quarter
of
the
new
budget.
H
A
Okay,
so
that's
not
yet
a
timeline
answer,
but
no
it's
not.
A
No-
and
I
appreciate
that
and
I
and
I've
been
assured
by
chief
steroid,
that
you
have
enough
staff
to
process
all
these
things
expeditiously.
So
you
want.
D
To
suspend
and
pass
the
the
capital
plans
today,
we
will
get
you
an
answer
on
how
quickly
we
can
you.
A
Can
just
start
with
yeah.
I
appreciate
that
offer
and
then
okay.
Another
question
on
my
side.
I
guess,
could
you
tell
me
a
little
bit
more
on
the
renew
boston,
trust
sort
of
like
how
deep
those
retrofits
are
like?
I
guess
I
think
counselor
mejia
alluded
to
the
fact
that,
and
it's
come
up
before
again
in
our
green
bonds.
A
Conversation
like
you
know,
there's
things
that
are
green
because
we've
got
to
fix
them
because
the
water
is
rising
and
then
there's
things
that
are
green,
like
they're,
actually
going
to
help
us
contribute
to
the
need
to
bring
down
carpet
emissions
right
and
those
are
sort
of
two
different
spaces,
and
then,
within
that
second
space,
which
I
think
is
the
direction
we
want
to
push
as
much
of
our
green
infrastructure
work
as
possible.
Like
there's,
then
also
the
there's
stuff.
A
That's,
like
you
know,
that's
relatively
minor
energy
savings
and
then
there's
things
that
are
sort
of
deeper
and
longer
term
and,
as
I
think
about,
as
I
think
about
the
carbon
performance
standards
that
we
look
poised
to
put
in
for
the
sort
of
private
side
of
things
you
know,
thinking
about
how
ambitious
the
retrofits
we're
doing
through
the
new
boston
trust
are
seems
important.
So
I
just
wondered
if
you
could
speak
to
that
a
bit.
H
Sure
so
what
we
do?
We
have
simple
measures
and
complex
measures,
so
the
simple
measures
could
be
just
you
know,
changing
out
all
the
fl
flushometers
on
toilets
within
a
community
center
or
firehouse.
You
know
in
terms
and
that
will
reduce
the
water
capacity
and
then
the
complex
measures
take
a
deeper
dive
and
look
at
the
heating
systems.
They
look
at
opportunities
for
solar.
H
They
look
at
you
know
improving
efficiencies
throughout
the
building.
In
terms
of
you
know
whether
it's
a
lighting
project
that
we
would
go
into
one
of
the
community
centers
and
change
all
the
lights
in
the
gym,
you
know
and
those
those
give
immediate
buyback.
You
know
the
the
on
on
your
utility
savings,
but
the
long
term
right
now
we're
in
phase
three
and
we're
currently
in
design.
H
Most
of
it
is
going
to
be
for
bps
and
we're
reviewing
the
design
options
that
we
are
working
through
with
environmental
partners,
this
one's
a
little
different
in
terms
of
procurement.
So
it's
not
149a
it's
25a,
which
allows
us
a
little
more
flexibility
and
we're
working
directly
with
our
partners
at
honeywell
and
yeah.
So
right
now
we're
finishing
phase.
Two,
which
is
the
simple
measures
and
we're
working
on
the
design
for
phase
three
the,
and
I
am
happy
to
share
a
list
with
you
of
what
that
entails.
A
Yeah-
and
it
would
just
be-
it
would
be
great
to
understand
the
scale
of
like
do
we
expect
at
the
end
of
all
this,
you
know
what
percentage
cut
in
emissions
for
these
buildings
right
or
something
along
those
lines
just
to
understand
sort
of
yeah
like
I
said
how
deep
it's
going,
okay
and
then
I
think
my
my
last
question,
then
I'm
gonna
go
back
to
my
colleagues
for
second
rounds
is
I
see
carlton
on
my
screen
and
he's
been
on
a
bunch
of
msba
hearings
with
us.
A
One
of
the
things
that's
come
up
repeatedly
and
I
I
think
it's
linked
to
this
whole
procurement
conversation
and
there's
a
piece
of
it
that
can
be
kind
of,
like
you
know,
put
a
pin
in
and
wait
for
our
conversation
with
oed
and
chief
of
equity,
but
but
there's
a
piece
of
it
that
I
think,
is
a
pfd
thing,
so
it
it
seems
to
me
like
there
are
some
routine
kinds
of
fairly
significant
capital
projects
that
the
city
engages
in
where
we
kind
of
know
the
players
like.
A
We
know
the
bidders
we're
constrained,
we're
going
to
have
filed
sub-bids,
like
everything
is
going
to
go
per
state
like
procurement
to
to
the
lowest
bidder
and
like
a
lot
of
those
I
mean
those
construction
projects
are
what
drives
are
really
tough
numbers
in
terms
of
like
really
using.
A
You
know,
local
and
minority,
or
actually,
I
shouldn't
say,
minority
in
boston,
people
of
color,
like
contractors,
and
so
I
think
that
one
of
the
things
I've
thought
a
lot
about
is
like
what
are
the
types
of
projects
where
we
could
as
a
city
id
a
pipeline
and
then
go
talk
to
the
oed
folks
and
say
you
know
what
takes
forever
we're
constantly
doing
and
involves
like
a
pretty
substantial,
spend
it's
like
windows
in
the
school
buildings
like
somebody
needs
to
like
get
like.
A
You
know
a
few
people
who
are
really
looking
at
hey,
maybe
there's
an
opportunity
to
launch
a
locally
owned,
like
windows
and
for
school
buildings,
kind
of
business
and
the
reason
I'm
asking
pfd.
This
question
is
because,
even
though
the
economic
development
of
that
pipeline
would
maybe
be
on
the
other
side
of
the
house,
the
idea
of
where
are
the
opportunities
for
this
feels
like
something
that
you
guys
would
be
the
most
familiar
with,
and
so
I
sort
of
want
to
ask
you
like:
have
you
had
those
conversations?
Are
you
having
those
conversations?
A
Are
there
areas
that
feel
like
the
the
low-hanging
fruit,
but
not
the
small
dollar
fruit?
You
know
what
I
mean
like
the
things
that
are
a
little
bit
like.
If
we,
if
we
cracked
them,
we
would
have
a
significant
pipeline
that
would
be
meaningful
volume
in
the
space.
So
that's
it's
a
little
open-ended,
but
I
was
curious
what
you
think.
H
No
thank
you
for
that
question.
So
we
are,
you
know
we
are
meeting
with
obm
and
office
of
equity
and
inclusion
in
about
a
week
or
so
because
one
of
the
things
you
know
that
we
want
to
look
at
is
what
can
we
do
proactively
in
terms
of
because
our
bid,
our
bid
process
is
based
on
lowest
eligible
and
most
responsible
bidder
eligibility
is
based
on
dcam.
So
maybe
we
can
proactively
look
at
having
workshops
on
how
do
you
enter
into
this?
H
You
know
some
of
our
contractors
that
have
worked
that
started.
Doing
two
million
dollar
projects
now
doing
20
million
dollar
projects
with
us
and
that
that
happened
over
time.
You
know,
but
you
know
we're,
certainly
open
to
that.
We
welcome
it.
We
want
to
be
partners
with
in
this
process.
H
You
know-
and
I
hate
to
say,
but
because
it
always
negates
what
you're
saying,
but
we
are
very
restricted
in
terms
of
how
we
award
bids
and
because
we,
you
know,
we
we
have
to
follow
the
statute
in
the
lower
and
we
we
fall
under
the
attorney
general's
office
in
terms
of
how
we
bid
our
work.
So
you
know,
but
we
we
are
mindful
of
it.
H
We
want
to
look
at
ways
that
we
can
improve
this
and
just
to
so
that
people
are
aware
in
these
projects
you
know
in
terms
of
and
how
they
become
dcamp
certified
and
how
they
can
get
that
classification.
A
Yeah,
no,
I
think
it's
really
important.
I
just
think
we
have
to
look
at
how
you
there's
no
way
you're
really
going
to
move
the
massive
dollar
needles
without
solving
it
on
the
construction
side.
So,
okay,
those
are
my
questions
for
now,
I'm
going
back
up
to
the
top.
If
I
can
find
my
list
counselor
braden,
do
you
have
second
round
questions?
Oh,
I
do,
of
course.
F
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
just
had
a
question
about
the
the
jackson
man
community
center
and
the
schools.
I
know
we
have
money
in
the
in
the
budget
for
planning
the
real
relocation
of
the
harassment,
which
is
the
school
for
the
deaf.
They
have
particular
needs
due
to
the
special
population
there,
but
I'm
thinking
july
22,
the
horace
mann,
the
jackson,
man,
the
jackson,
elementary
school
and
the
community
center
are
slated
to
close,
and
the
community
center
is
a
polling
location
for
five
precincts.
F
When
we
have
an
election,
we
have
literally
hundreds
of
people
queued
out
the
door
and
down
the
street,
so
it
functions
as
a
fema
emergency
shelter.
It
is
a
heating
and
cooling
shelter
for
the
neighborhood
it
is.
It
has
a
really
strategic
and
important
function
and
I'm
really
a
little
concerned
that
that
we're
not
really
engaged
in
a
conversation
already
about
how
we're
going
to
accommodate
the
services
that
are
provided
by
the
community
center.
F
Shared
facility
with
bps
and
bcyf,
I
think
the
the
importance
of
the
ship,
the
the
community
center
especially
goes
way
beyond
those
labels,
and
I
I
really
hope
that
come
july,
that
we
will
have
alternative
accommodations
for
elections
and
heating,
cooling,
centers
and-
and
it's
also
particularly
important,
because
the
other
cooling
center
other
place
in
the
in
the
summer
and
winter
where
people
go.
If
it's
too
hot
is
the
fanual
branch
library
and
the
fanduel
branch
library
will
be
closed
for
the
next
foreseeably
for
the
next
two
years.
F
So
I'm
just
concerned
that
we
don't.
We
don't
have
a
plan
right
now
and
it
seems
it
might
seem
premature,
but
I
think
we
want
to
have
a
plan
before
we
close
the
doors.
I
also
I
was
curious
about
the
status
of
the
new
windows
for
the
police
station
at
district
14
and
then
also
the
number
of
my
way
cafes
in
our
schools.
F
F
H
Thank
you
counselor,
so
I
can
certainly
send
you
a
list.
I
have
a
a
complete
list
of
the
schools,
the
19
schools
for
the
my
wife,
like
my
way
cafes,
but
I
will
send
you
a
list,
for
you
know,
break
it
up
for
district
for
all
counselors
and
then
on
the
community
center
piece.
Yes,
we
will
be
starting
a
study
that
you
know
there
was
a
combined
study.
H
Effort
for
charlestown,
dorchester
and
brighton
was
just
added
to
that,
and
I
think
for
this
reason,
because
of
the
the
pending
closure
for
the
jackson,
man,
but
that
that
project
is,
you
know
something
that
we
will
be
looking
at
in
terms
of
citing
for
a
new
location.
H
Is
it
going
to
be
a
combined
bps,
bcyf
building?
You
know
we
will
be
working
with
both
of
our
partners
on
that
to
you
know
as
part
of
the
study,
as
the
study
develops.
F
Yeah
and
I'm
sure
you're
well
aware
that
in
austin,
brighton
land
is
rather
scarce,
especially
publicly
owned
land.
So
you
know,
I
think,
that's
a
really
good
central
location
for
us
for
a
community
center,
so
I
hope
we
can
be
really
creative
around
seeing
how
we
can
make
it
work.
I
know
it's
difficult,
sometimes
with
the
bcyf
sharing
a
facility
with
a
with
a
school
because
of
conflicts
with
schedules
and
things,
but
I
hope
we
can
all
work
together
to
come
to
a
good
solution.
H
And
that's
part
of
the
work
we
do
counselors
in
this
study.
Is
we
usually
find
a
couple
of
at
least
one
or
two
with
our
partners
from
bd
a
that
we
work
with
closely
when
we
and
we
usually
try
to
identify
at
least
two
sites
that
might
fit
the
knees
based
on
the
program
test,
fit
of
the
space
massing
strategies?
H
You
know
and
again
that
all
comes
back
to
the
core
program,
but
those
are
we
usually
within
most
of
our
studies.
We
try
to
identify
apostle
that
would
work,
and
then
we
do
a
title
search
on
that
parcel
for
a
possible
taking.
You
know.
So
that's
all
part
of
the
study
and
when
I
say
taking
it's
a
friendly
taking
it's
a
it's.
It's
negotiating,
not.
F
So
the
other
question
was
about
the
bc
and
not
the
district
14
police
station
their
windows.
They
were
on
the
list.
Last
year,
it's
300
300
000
for
new
windows.
F
Yeah,
you
know
it
might
be,
that's
fine.
A
So
much
thank
you,
councilman
braden
and
definitely
on
the
mobility
study.
I
think
you
know
there's
a
my
understanding
is
that
it's
mainly
the
btd
public
works
side
that
pfd
doesn't
run
point
on
so
we've
most
of
the
other
city
departments.
It's
pfd's
thing,
but
for
those
we'll
definitely
be
talking
to
public
works
and
the
transportation
department
a
little
bit
later
in
the
site
in
the
hearing
cycle
and
we'll
and
we'll
send
those
questions
ahead
as
well,
so
that
we
can
get
advanced
answers.
Counselor
mejia.
You
have
the
floor.
G
Yes,
thank
you.
So
I
just
have
a
few
questions
and
mines
are
specific
to
some
schools.
I'm
I
participated
in
a
meeting
with
the
sarah
greenwood,
I'm
in
dorchester,
probably
like
a
month
or
two
ago,
and
the
students
were
really
concerned
about
their
conditions
and
I'm
curious.
G
You
know
when
we're
thinking
about
capital
improvements-
I
I
I
didn't
see
out
here
them
mentioned
as
being
on
the
list
of
schools
and
then
also
madison
park.
You
know,
I
I
don't
know
if
there
are
part
of
the
build
bps
plan,
but
I'm
just
curious
about
what
efforts
are
we
making
to
get
madison
park
to
be
the
21st
century
vote
tech
school?
That
it
deserves
to
be
here
in
the
city
of
boston?
G
I'm
curious
about
some
of
those
capital
improvements
and
what,
if
any-
and
the
other
question
that
I
have
is
that
this
is
more
specifically
probably
around
some
of
the
supports
for
parks
in
particular
justin.
I'm
not
sure.
Maybe
this
is
probably
for
a
different
hearing,
but
you
know
there
are
some
parks
that
are
looking
to
be
renamed.
G
D
Sure
I'll
take
the
last
two
and
then
carrie.
I
don't
know
if
you
have
anything
on
the
sarah
greenwood,
but
I'm
sure
we
could
follow
up
on
that
specifically,
so
I'm
not
familiar
with
the
process
for
how
to
rename
parts,
but
typically,
if
you're
looking
to
rename
a
city
asset,
you
usually
have
to
either
either
go
through
the
owner
of
the
asset.
So
if
it's
the
pic
or
something
like
that
or
the
pfc
and
then
but
we'd
have
to
get
the
specifics
on
on
the
parks.
D
To
give
you
a
fuller
answer
on
that,
I
apologize
and
we're
happy
to
follow
up
with
that.
As
far
as
madison
park
goes,
madison
park
is
a
high
priority
for
everyone
in
the
city.
Obviously
getting
it
to
be
the
jewel
of
the
voketech
world,
I
think,
is
the
the
shared
goal
of
everyone.
D
D
You
know
obviously
the
city,
council
and
and
the
mayor
you
know
we
will
bring
together
a
group
that
is,
that
is
just
the
drop
in
the
bucket
of
what
that
school
will
ultimately
get
long
term
in
terms
of
renovations
and
reimagining.
So
we
look
forward
to
having
that
conversation
really
publicly
with
the
community
and
and
kicking
that
off
in
the
next
fiscal
year.
D
H
Thanks
justin,
yes,
right
now,
we
don't
have
anything
on
the
sarah
greenwood,
so
we
will
follow
up
with
bps
and
in
terms
of
madison
park
to
chief
starriff's
point.
We
will
be
starting
a
mass
study
there,
but
we
also
have
two
projects
that
are
going
to
start
there.
We
have
an
electrical
upgrade
project
that
we'll
be
starting
there
and
we
have
a
locker
room
project
that
will
be
starting
there.
H
Hopefully,
both
projects
will
be
starting
this
summer,
we're
gonna,
we
actually,
you
know,
met
with
the
the
the
leadership
over
there
at
at
madison
park
in
the
o'bryant,
and
you
know
we
wanted
to
be.
As
you
know,
the
the
the
locker
rooms
are
are
a
mess
and
they
want
it.
You
know
they
want
to
to
be
less
as
disruptive
disruptive
we
wanted
to.
H
We
broke
the
project
out
into
so
that
we
could
expedite
it
and
do
a
demo
phase,
which
will
be
starting
in
july
and
then
start
which
will
also
help
inform
the
design
the
design
for
the
new
construction
phase.
So
we
wanted
to
accelerate
that
project
just
because
we
don't
want
to
be
doing
demo
during
a
new
school
year
after
the
kids
have
been
through
this
past
school
year.
So
we
are
looking.
We
are
looking
for
opportunities
like
that,
and
we
will
be
starting
that
master
plan
this
year.
G
Sorry,
I'm
muted.
My
last
question
is
you
know:
I've
gotten
several
calls
from
folks
who
live
in
private
ways
and
I'm
just
curious
justin.
G
If
you
or
someone
from
your
team
could
help
me
have
some
really
good
language
that
I
can
share
with
folks,
because
some
of
these
folks
live
in
places
where
the
roads
are
unpaved
and
what
they've
been
hearing
from
the
city
is
because
something
that
was
written
and
probably
in
1802
or
something
the
way
the
charter
was
written,
because
it's
a
private
way
that
the
city
really
doesn't
have
any
responsibility.
I
guess,
if
you
will
to
to
fix
some
of
these
bumpy
streets
and
I'm
curious,
what
can
we
do
to
support
these
constituents.
D
It's
it's
a
great
question:
I'll
have
to
defer
to
btd
and
public
works
about
the
the
legal
limits
of
that,
but
I
think,
generally
speaking,
you
know
we're
dedicating
a
third
of
our
capital
plan
to
vision,
zero
and
transportation
department.
So
that
is
something
that
should
be
shared
by
all
residents,
because
whether
you
live
on
a
private
way
or
not
or
you
live
on
a
city
street,
you
know
you're
paying
taxes
at
the
end
of
the
day.
So
we
will
we'll
follow
up
and
see
what
we
can
do
for
those
specific
instances.
G
Yeah
and
then
my
last
question
before
I
get
the
gavel,
I'm
just
curious:
if
have
you
guys
done
the
way
you
go
about
which
projects
you
you
know
in
terms
of
sidewalks
and
things
have
you
ever
done
like
a
city-wide
audit
and
and
did
this
is
where
we're
going
to
focus
our
energy
on?
Do
you
do
it
with
an
equity
lens,
because
I
know
there's
certain
neighborhoods
that
look
like
they
haven't
gotten
any
love
in
a
long
time
and
that
doesn't
seem
to
be
the
case
across
the
entire
city.
D
Yeah
absolutely-
and
I
swear-
I
didn't
ask
counselor
counselor
media
to
ask
that
question,
but
the
streets,
department
and
btd
actually
does
a
very
intensive
annual
report
around
the
state
of
our
assets,
including
sidewalks
roadway,
our
paving
markings
our
lights,
and
they
actually
have
a
annual
plan
by
which
they
look
at
the
areas
you
know
through
an
equity
lens.
D
You
know
what
are
the
you
know
highest
areas
of
poverty,
what
are
the
areas
of
most
need
and
they
decide
on
an
annual
basis,
what
parts
of
the
city
that
they're
going
to
renovate
or
what
parts
of
the
city
that
they're
going
to
attack
that
year
now
it
does
follow
a
rotating
basis
because
we
have
to
you
know
we
have
to
upgrade
every
part
of
the
city
in
in
some
order,
but
btd
and
public
works
focuses
their
attention,
especially
in
the
pedestrian
side,
and
especially
on
the
sidewalk
side,
on
areas
of
the
city
most
trafficked
by
people
of
color
or
certainly
areas
of
poverty
that
you
know
don't
aren't
making
the
311
calls
necessarily
or
aren't
potentially
some
of
the
folks
who
are
activated
in
calling
their
calling
the
city
to
to
put
in
a
311
request.
D
So
certainly
something
that's
top
of
mind
for
the
btd
and
public
works
as
they're
making
their
decisions
last
thing
I'll
say,
is
you
know
one
of
the
major
investments
we
are
making
this
year
is
a
city-wide
approach
in
upgrading
all
of
our
pedestrian
ramps
to
make
them
all
ada
compliant.
So
some
of
those
areas
who
who
you
mentioned
may
not
have
seen
some
love
will
be
getting
ada
upgraded
ramps
over
the
next
10
years.
D
A
Thanks,
thank
you
thanks,
council
over
here.
All
right
next
up,
sorry
should
have
been
ready.
Counselor
savvy
george.
B
Thank
you
again,
madam
chair,
so
I'd
love
to
get
back
and
return
to
the
crime
lab
question.
I
I
see
that
there's
a
plan
for
the
the
forensics
unit
facility
upgrade
to
renovate
some
of
that
space,
but
I
am
curious
about
the
option
and
the
opportunity
for
larger
renovation
and
investment
in
the
crime
lab
as
a
whole,
and
I
shared
more
earlier
in
the
first
section.
So
would
love
to
hear
an
update
on
that
and
if
you
know
more
detail
can
come
out
in
the
bpd
hearing.
D
So
I'll,
let
kerry
jump
in
with
the
specifics,
but
there
is
a
as
you
mentioned,
a
study
in
the
plan.
I
think,
as
part
of
that
study,
we
will
identify
sort
of
what
the
space
needs
are
of
the
department
and
if
it's
identified
that
you
know
they
need
a
larger
space
or
a
different
space
or
a
bigger
space,
we
will,
you
know,
have
to
work
through
the
council.
That's
not
in
this
plan
right
now,
because
we
haven't
done
the
study
yet
to
identify
it.
D
But
if
that's,
if
that's
what
the
study
and
the
demands
are,
that's
that's
what
we'll
work
towards
for
future
budget
years.
I
don't
know
kerry
or
pfd
if
you
have
other
other
things.
Sorry.
B
If
I
could
just
say
there
was
a
number
of
years
ago,
there
was
a
study
done
around
the
crime
lab
as
a
whole,
because
it
is
the
way
it's
situated.
You
know
it's
really
in
office.
Space
and
components
are
broken
up
across
headquarters.
B
You
know,
storage
is
an
issue,
and
although-
and
I
don't
want
it
to
sound
like
they
aren't
the
fully
accredited
lab
because
they
are
and
they're
they
are
really
a
national
model
with
their
accreditation.
B
They
just
don't
have
the
capacity
to
do
all
of
the
things
they'd
like
to
be
doing
in
the
timely
manner
that
they
should
be
doing
and
then,
with
the
newer
requirements
around
the
you
know,
processing
of
rape
kits
in
a
in
a
timely
manner
that
you
know
certainly
there's
now
the
state
requirement
to
do
that,
but
it
is
the
right
thing
to
do,
but
then
also
when
we
think
about
the
number
of
unsolved
murders-
and
you
know
sort
of
the
disjointed
way
that
the
crime
lab
is
set
up
at
headquarters.
B
A
B
B
And
I
can
also
talk
additionally
offline
with
everyone,
and
then
you
know.
I
think
that
this
has
been
actually
very
I'm.
Looking
at
my
notes
here,
this
has
been
a
pretty
thorough
hearing
and
I
appreciate
that
justin
and
kerry
in
particular,
for
offering
so
much
information
and
really
participating
in
a
robust
dialogue
and
update
at
today's
hearing.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
A
J
Thank
you
and
thank
you,
council
book
and
again
thank
you
to
the
public
facilities
team.
That's
here,
I
see
carlton
jones
who's
done
an
excellent
job,
as
has
my
neighbor
in
south
boston,
ellie
mcdonough.
So
it's
good
to
see
both
of
them.
I
carry.
I
know
you
were
talking
and
justin
were
talking
about
when
you're
doing,
preparing
and
planning
buildings
or
developments.
J
You
are
looking
at
ada
related
issues,
making
sure
everything
is
obviously
in
compliance
with
ada,
so
want
to
acknowledge
that
that's
a
that's
critical,
it's
very
important.
I
want
to
say
thank
you.
That's
an
issue
like
I
focus
on
a
lot
krista
mccosh
also,
and
the
mayor's
commission
for
disability
rights
does
a
an
exceptional
job.
I
always
ask
development
projects
to
make
sure
that
they
check
in
with
her
team,
to
make
sure
that
there
are
no
related
ada
non-compliant
issues.
J
So
having
said
that,
what
what
else
are
you
are
you
thinking
about
in
terms
of
making
sure
boston
is
as
friendly
as
it
can
be,
or
as
welcoming,
as
can
be,
for
persons
with
disabilities.
H
Thank
you
council
for
that
question.
So
when
we
do
a
a
study
or
even
the
initial
process
of
a
design,
we
always
do
an
accessibility
study.
As
part
of
that
we
do
a
life
safety
code
analysis
and
we
do
an
accessibility
depending
on
what
the
the
budget
allows.
For
you
know
we
will
talk
to
our
partners
at
isd
and
bfd
and
look
at
you
know,
look
at
maybe
possibly
a
phased
approach
for
what
is
approved
within
that
budget
year.
H
You
know
this
is
we're
dealing
we're
doing
this
right
now
with
fire
headquarters.
You
know
so
you
know
when
we
we
very
much
work
collaboratively
with
everyone,
but
the
these
80
accessibility
and
80
issues
are
they
happen.
I
mean
they
with
within
the
building,
so
we
do
as
part
of
our
study
do
that
look
at
that
and
if
we
trigger
that,
based
on
the
assessed
value
of
the
building
and
the
value
in
the
amount
of
work
we're
putting
into
the
building,
you
know
we
need
to.
H
At
that
point,
we
need
to
make
some
decisions
on
how
we
move
forward
in
what
we
address.
First,
you
know,
obviously,
if
there's
a
roof
leaking.
We
need
to
address
that
you
know,
but
in
phase
two
could
be,
you
know
our
front
entrance
and
walkway
phase.
Three
could
be.
You
know
we
we
look
at
that
and
we
work
with
our
partners
at
obm
to
have
those
conversations
and
and
advocate
for
our
clients.
J
Thank
you
kerry
and
then
my
my
final
question
is:
can
you
give
me
a
just
a
brief
update?
I
thought
one
of
the
best
decisions
mayor
walsh
made
was
allocating
funds,
but
also
preparing
for
planning
for
a
public
library
in
chinatown,
something
that
we
haven't
seen
in
50
years
in
the
neighborhood.
So
I
I
was
excited.
J
I
am
excited
about
having
a
china
having
a
live,
having
a
library
in
the
chinatown
neighborhood
it'll
be
welcoming
it'll,
be
it's
critically
needed
and
I
think
it's
probably
the
best
decision
I've
I've
ever
seen
in
city
government
in
a
long
time.
So
I
want
to
acknowledge
mayor
walsh's
commitment
to
the
residents
of
chinatown,
but
but
can
you
just
give
me
a
quick
update
on
where
we
are
on
the
chinatown
library.
H
Sure
so,
right
now
we
are
still
in
the
study
phase
and
we
are
identifying
different
sites
that
we
could
possibly
lose
and
use
based
on
their
their
program
and
their
space.
The
space
analysis.
So
we
are
looking.
There
is
two
sites
that
we're
looking
at
and
I
apologize
on
my
computer
crashed
earlier.
So
I'm
doing
this
from
the
top
of
my
head
without
my
notes,
but
we
do
to
give
you
the
street
names
that
we
were
looking
at
for
possible
sites,
but
we
are.
D
Okay,
we'll
also
say
counselor
that
it
does
include
the
most
recent
budget
proposal
from
this
current
year.
Fy2226
does
include
a
five
million
dollar
increase
to
the
project
budget,
to
start
to
move
the
project
from
study
to
design
and
then
ultimately,
construction
once
once
the
site
is
identified.
So
another
big
investment
in
the
capital
plan
for
chinatown
yeah.
J
J
Okay,
thank
you
all
and
council
black.
I
have
no
further
questions.
A
Great
thank
you.
Counselor
flynn,
counselor
arroyo.
K
Thank
you
as
well
to
everybody
who's
here
and
I
haven't
seen
you
since
you've
become
the
chief
of
operations
with
congratulations,
mr
irish,
and
so
if
I
could
just
get
into
some
very
brief
questions
on
on
my
district,
which
is
high
park,
roslindale
and
matapan
one
of
those
things
that
comes
up
for
every
district.
K
I
think,
probably
because
I
know
councillor
flynn
was
here
so
he
certainly
knows
the
deal
is
traffic
comic
specifically,
and
I
know
this
goes
into
the
transportation
department,
but
a
lot
of
what
we're
trying
to
get
done
from
a
from
a
capital
project
side
requires
some
actual
redesigns
of
this
requires
planning
requires
transportation.
K
D
Sure
a
great
question
counselor
and
appreciate
the
the
constant
advocacy
on
this.
I
know
it's
important
to
you.
I
think
we're
really
trying
to
attack
it
in
a
couple
different
ways,
both
through
the
capital
plan,
which
really
focuses
on
both.
You
know
the
long-term
redesign
of
intersections
and
major
improvements
to
different
different
highways.
You
know
whether
they're
main
roads
or
arteries
that
that
the
city
owns
as
well
as
through
both
the
operating
budget
and
tnc
money,
the
the
money
we
get
from
uber
and
lyft.
D
We
have
been
dedicating
thanks
to
the
work
of
the
council,
to
some
of
the
more
short-term
measures
when
it's
you
know,
come
to
flex
posts-
and
you
know
temporary
bike
lanes
as
we
sort
of
think
about
and
plan
for
the
larger
bike
lanes
and
bus
lanes.
So
it
is
a
an
all-in
approach
when
it
comes
to
pedestrian
safety
and
safety
on
our
roadways
and
our
streets.
D
So
I
can
certainly
give
you
a
list
of
everything
going
on
in
your
district,
but
and
would
certainly
defer
to
btd
and
public
works
about
the
strategy
around
where
they're
best
deploying
it.
As
I
mentioned,
councilor
mcgee
earlier.
D
Certainly,
looking
at
equity
and
high
crash
areas
and
certainly
high
risk
areas
on
all
of
our
investments
when
it
comes
to
vision,
zero
and
deploying
those
assets
so
happy
to
get
into
weeds
or
or
encourage
you
to
get
in
the
weeds
with
btd
when
they
come
before
you
in
a
week
or
so.
Oh.
K
I
will
be,
I
appreciate
it
certainly
will
be.
It
said
one
of
the
questions
more
directly
to
the
capitol
project
is
the
bcy
crossing
go
project
which
I
know
that
bcfy
the
the
roslindale
community
center
had
that
major
pipe
burst
that
caused
a
lot
of
damage,
frankly
significant
damage,
and
so
just
in
terms
of,
and
it's
in,
this
year's
capital
budget
sort
of
those
repairs.
What
is
covered
in
that?
How
much
of
that
is
is
repair
work?
K
How
much
of
that
is
more
of
a
renovation,
because
I
know
that
some
of
the
damage
in
there
was
was
very
severe,
and
what
does
that
look
like.
H
All
right,
thank
you,
question
so
right
now
that
is
actually
getting
ready
to
start
the
in
its
right.
Now
it's
just
the
emergency
work,
the
for
for
for
the
damage
that
the
building
sustained,
so
that
should
be
starting
in
probably
a
month,
I
would
say
to
start
doing
the
emergency
work.
K
So
how
quickly
do
we
anticipate?
I
know
a
lot
about
what
the
delays
have
been
covered,
a
measure
of
different
things
in
terms
of
getting
things
started,
but
the
timeline
is
beginning
next
month,
meaning
may
and
then
what
are
we
looking
for
for,
like
the
ability
to
get
folks
in
there.
H
Yeah
so
right
now
we're
showing
on
our
e-builder
schedule
that
is
supposed
to
be
complete
in
october,
but
I
I'd
like
to
get
back
to
you
with
that
a
date
once
it's
verified.
Okay
over
is
the
target
date.
Awesome
target
date
is
october,
but
the
schedule
is
currently
showing,
but
I'd
like
to
just
review
some
of
the
documents
and
make
sure
that
that's
where
we're
at
with
that
project
and
where
it
will
be
completing.
K
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
that
and
then
sort
of
tangentially
related
healy
field.
I
know
actually
did
within
the
last
five
years
or
four
years,
get
like
a
rework,
because
I
live
out
here,
so
I
know
that
they
redid
the
field
itself,
but
if
they
never
took
care
of
the
drainage
issue,
and
so
I
know
that
there's
some
rework
of
that
field
that
could
could
be
helpful
in
terms
of
how
it's
utilized.
K
I
know
we
have
the
dog
partnering
and
that
there's
a
conversation
of
initial
sort
of
planning
about
perhaps
putting
a
dog
park
in
healey
field
in
the
back
area
over
there
by
the
by
the
pool,
but
just
as
a
question
on
the
bcy
roslindale
project.
Does
that
include
any
any
kind
of
work
on
which
they're
they're
separated
by
distance?
But
is
there
any
kind
of
work
done
in
that
plan
to
sort
of
upgrade
or
make
any
repairs
at
that
bill?.
D
So
counselor,
in
addition
to
the
1.6
million
for
the
emergency
repairs
that
kerry
talked
about
earlier,
we
do
have
a
million
dollars
to
do
a
sort
of
more
comprehensive
look
at
the
site
to
address
some
of
the
issues.
You're
you're
raising
that's
another
million
dollars.
We
have
in
the
plan
to
get
started.
You
know,
in
conjunction
with
the
the
emergency
work,
that's
going
on
right
now,.
K
D
Don't
I
think,
we'll
have
to
dig
in
a
little
bit
different.
I
I
want
to
confirm
the
huey
field
stuff
to
make
sure
that
it's
it's
included,
but
I
think
we
can
certainly
take
a
look
at
whether
it's
in
conjunction,
I
think
it's
a
park
parks
department
site.
It
is
so
we'll
look
to
make
sure
that
if
it's
not
that
it's
that
they're,
that
the
pfd
team
is
looking
at
it
in
conjunction
with
the
parks
department,.
K
Fantastic
and
one
last
thing:
well
I
gotcha
on
on
the
capital
budget.
I
know
that
there's
repairs
also
not
repair
so
much
as
sort
of
renovations
improvements
to
the
high
park
municipal
community
center,
as
well
as
a
high
park
resident.
I
can
tell
the
muni
is
sort
of
iconic
it's
our
thing.
I
saw
that
there's
money
there
for
both
the
back
fields,
which
I
which
I'm
thrilled
about,
but
there's
also
some
money.
I
saw
there
that
sort
of
it
said
the
entrance
redesign.
K
H
We
are
just
we
just
completed
a
the
some
work
at
the
high
park
community
center.
We
did
some
drainage
issues
because
there
was
some
issues
with
some
of
the
rain
leaders
within
the
building
and
that
were
causing
water
on
the
walls
and
in
the
dance
studio.
We
did
some
upgrades
to
the
kitchen
down
on
the
first
right
at
the
entrance,
and
so
we
are
actually
in
the
process
of
wrapping
that
project
up
and
for
the
there's
another
million
dollars
in
the
capital
to
look
at.
H
K
Do
we
know-
and
this
might
be
a
little
too
in
the
weeks-
perhaps
we
know
which
entrance
they're
talking
about
because
there's
an
entry
on
the
on
the
side
of
river
street-
that's
less
known,
but
it's
the
handicap
accessible
entrance
and
then
there's
the
entrance.
That's
sort
of
the
iconic
one
with
the
stairs
up
to
the
columns.
Do
we
know
if
we're
talking
about
both
or
are
we
talking
about
one
and
not
the
other.
H
I
don't
know,
and
I
will
get
back
to
you
with
it.
I
would
say
it's
going
to
be
the
main
entry
we
did
do.
We
did
do
some
work
under
this
last
project
that
for
for
some
of
the
drainage
that
was,
you
know,
it
was
pooling
by
the
entryway
there
yeah.
H
Street
side,
but
the
the
I
will
get
back
to
you
on
that
counselor,
I
don't
think
that's
been
determined,
that's
one
of
the
things
when
we
talk
to
our
you
know
our
the
bcyf
we'll
we'll
look
at
that,
but
definitely
we
will
get
back
to
you
on
that.
K
Thank
you
and
thank
you
so
much.
I'm
going
to
end
my
questions
there,
madam
chair
and
just
say
thank
you
to
the
capitol
budget.
You
guys
are
like
the
the
christmas
of
our
budgets,
so
you
know
there's
no
bad
questions
for
my
side
on
this
side.
So
thank
you
for
your
your
work
and
then
I'll
get
back
to
you
or
you'll
get
back
to
me
on
the
just
detailed
specifics
about
those
projects.
Thank
you
so
much
counselor
bach.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
A
Thanks
counselor
arroyo,
okay,
I
had
a
couple
more
questions.
One
was
just
you
know
the
question
of
public
bathrooms
and
been
making
public
accommodations
more
available
in
the
cities.
Come
up
a
lot
because
of
this
crisis,
and
so
many
of
the
many
of
the
like,
you
know,
shops
and
private
places
that
people
would
use
being
shut
and
then,
of
course,
the
bpl
being
shut,
which
is
a
huge
site
for
that,
and
it's
certainly
true
that
we
have.
A
We
have
a
lot
less
publicly
available
accommodations
than
a
lot
of
other
cities
worldwide,
and
so
I'm
curious.
I
wanted
to
confirm
first
of
all
that,
because
I
think
I've
heard
that
both
on
the
boston,
common
master
plan
side
and
in
the
city
hall
plaza
revamp
that
we
are
going
to
end
up
with
public
accommodations
on
the
other
side,
but
I
wasn't
sure
if
that
was
the
case,
so
I
wanted
to
confirm
about
that.
H
In
the
city
hall
plaza,
yes,
we
will
be
have.
We
will
have
public
restroom
accommodations
in
the
boston
common.
I'm
not
sure
of
that's.
H
A
Okay,
I
think
I
think
they're
in
the
plan.
It
would
be
great
to
pop
on
that.
I
just
think
it's
something
that
that
we've,
I
mean
really
seen
the
criticalness
of
and
then
I
think
it
sounded
like
they
hadn't
made
the
cut,
at
least
so
far
in
the
copley
square
planning.
A
Can
talk
to
parks
about
these
things
and
then
what
was
my
next
one,
the
I'll
just
pull
up
my
list.
Sorry.
A
All
right
I'll
talk
to
parks
about
that
and
the
comm
ave
mall
kenmore
block
and
such
I
guess
another
question-
and
this
is
maybe
more
of
a
more
of
a
justin
question
and
it's
it's
more
kind
of
amusing
like
I
wonder.
A
But
I
I
think
we
all
know
that
when
federal
money
does
come
down,
often
being
sort
of
like
ready
to
receive
it
and
kind
of
practiced
in
in
kind
of
getting
the
wheels
turning
on
the
right
kinds
of
projects
can
be
helpful
for
actually
like
getting
our
our
share
and
more
and
taking
advantage
of
those
opportunities.
A
So
I
guess
I
wonder
and
again
like
I
said
it's
more
of
a
thought,
whether
they're,
whether
the
department
started
looking
at
or
maybe
it's
an
obm
question
like
justin,
whether
you've
got
anybody
looking
at
like.
Where
are
the
places
like?
Are
there
opportunities
to
do
to
think
about
starting
small
model
projects
in
this
year's
this
year's
budget
that
would
kind
of
help
grease
the
wheels?
If,
if
then,
we
got
a
bunch
more
money
in
those
types
of
categories,
we
could
say.
Oh
look
in
boston,
we're
already
doing
this.
A
I
mean,
I
think,
of
the
library
housing
project
as
an
example
of
that
kind
of
thing,
because
I'm
particularly
interested
in
housing
infrastructure
money,
but
I
guess
another
spot
I
was
thinking
about
and
I
don't
actually
know
if
pfd
does
it
or
if
do
it,
does
it
separately,
but
like
municipal
broadband
work
like
should
we
be
doing
something,
even
if
it's
not
like
to
scale
such
that,
if
there's
a
ton
of
broadband
money,
we're
kind
of
ready
and
actionable.
So
it's
a
sort
of
vague
question,
but
so.
D
So
we
do
do
bonet
right,
so
the
city
does
provide
some
municipal
broadband
services
to
city
buildings
so,
and
that
is
sort
of
what
I
would
imagine
I
think
you're
referring
to
is,
if
we
wanted
to
do
that
at
scale.
What
would
that
look
like
to
expand
bonet?
I
think
that
would
certainly
be
a
good
conversation
with
both
david
elijah's,
but
also
mike
lynch
in
the
in
the
infrastructure
and
do
it
tech
department.
D
As
far
as
other
projects,
I
mean
I,
I
agree
that
the
west
end
library
is
a
fantastic
project.
It's
also
an
incredibly
complicated
project
with
state
implications,
private
implications.
That
is
not
necessarily
the
the
model.
I
would
choose
as
sort
of
something
that's
kind
of
pull
off
the
shelf
and
ready
to
go
because
of
the
dynamics.
That'll
certainly
take
the
dynamics
that
will
need
to
take
place
in
terms
of
state
approval
and
private
financing
to
to
make
it
a
go
project.
D
What
I
would
say,
though,
is
that
we
are
constantly
working
and
especially
from
a
transportation
point
of
view,
always
looking
at
the
state
of
a
good
repair
of
our
assets.
You
know,
especially
around
roads,
especially
around
bridges,
especially
around
pedestrian
assets.
Like
you
know,
sidewalks,
and
as
I've
mentioned
a
few
times
a
day
ramps.
We
could
do
that
work
faster
if
we
had
sort
of
more
money,
it's
also
a
matter
of
contractors
and
available
folks.
D
A
dramatic
confusion
of
funding
doesn't
necessarily
mean
we'll
be
able
to
put
it
out
the
door
for
bid
and
get
you
know
qualified
bidders
at
the
same
time,
because
you
got
to
imagine
if
we're
getting
money,
the
state's
getting
money,
other
cities
and
towns
are
getting
money
and
all
of
a
sudden
we're
sort
of
bidding
against
ourselves
or
not
ourselves,
sort
of
the
royal
we
of
government
and
we're-
maybe
not
getting
more
but
we're
you
know,
potentially
even
paying
more
for
the
same
amount,
and
I
think
that
that's
something
we
want
to
be
careful
of,
and
we
want
to
be
mindful
of
and
find
some
of
those
types
of
signature
projects
that
I
think
both
get
the
feds
excited,
but
also
you
know,
make
meaningful
impacts
in
some
of
the
the
log
jams
that
we
have.
D
So
I
think
you
know
it's
going
to
be.
You
know
dependent
on
what
types
of
federal
money
comes
and
what
buckets
we're
going
to
go
after,
but
I
I
do
think
we
have
some
capacity
to
ramp
stuff
up,
but
it's
going
to
be
very
dependent
on
what,
when
and
how
the
money
comes
through.
A
Right
no
and
I
have
thought
about
the
competitive
nature
of
us
and
the
other
newspaper,
that's
part
of
what
I'm
thinking
about
it's
like.
How
do
we
give
ourselves
an
edge,
of
course,
there's
also
a
conversation
to
be
had
and
that
we're
we're
having
in
other
departments
about
about
ramping
up
the
workforces.
That's
part
of
why
we're
talking
about
the
green
job
stuff
right,
it's
kind
of
like.
A
If
we
just
wait,
then
the
guys
who
do
you
know
who
do
golf
courses
will
eventually,
like
you
know,
they'll
eventually
shift
into
the
green
infrastructure
stuff
we're
looking
for,
but
we'll
be
waiting,
and
it
won't
be
the
diverse
workforce
that
we'd
want
to
see.
Necessarily
so
you
know,
but
that's
a
that's
a
conversation
that
I
think
we'll
be
having
throughout
this
process.
A
H
Thank
you,
council.
Yes,
the
snowden.
We
are
ready
to
go
out
to
bid.
We
actually
put
that
one
on
hold
due
to
covid,
and
but
we
have
100
documents.
We
are
ready
to
go
to
bed
we'd
like
to
get
that
out
on
the
streets
as
soon
as
possible,
so
that
we
can
have
it
within
the
summer
that
that
one
has,
you
know,
there's
some
logistic
challenges
there
in
terms
of
we
will
have
to
stage
the
whole
project
plus,
there's
you
know
the
roofing.
H
We
want
we,
you
know
it's
a
historical
site.
We
have
to
keep
the
same
quality,
so
all
that's
been
figured
into
it.
So,
yes,
we
are
already
on
that
project
and
the
kennedy
it's
a
new
new
project.
Yeah,
that's
a
new
project,
so
that
would
be
part
of
that
would
be
one
of
the
things
that
we
would
talk
with
bps2
about
in
terms
of
prioritizing.
A
Got
it
and
then
the
this
might
be
again
parks
public
garden
lagoon.
I
should
talk
to
them
about
that.
A
It
and
are,
are
you
guys?
Oh
no,
I
think
that
I
think
that's
all
mine
and
I
did
see
counselor
mijia
has
a
hand
up
so
I'll
go
to
her
before
we
wrap,
but
I
just
I
would
be
remiss
to
have
a
pfd
hearing
and
not
mention
how
excited
I
am
about
the
boston
arts
academy.
It
was.
A
It
was
great
to
be
at
the
topping
off
ceremony,
my
first
topping
off
ceremony
actually-
and
I
yeah
it's
just
it's
super
exciting
and
just
really
want
to
thank
the
whole
team.
I
know
the
school
community
can't
wait
to
get
inside
the
building
so.
A
G
I
just
have
three
quick
questions.
I'm
curious.
You
know
I've
gotten
a
lot
of
calls
from
folks
in
the
grove
hall
area
wondering
about
a
youth
center.
I
know
there's
a
citizen's
a
senior
a
center
for
our
elders,
but
there
isn't
a
youth
center
there
and
I
guess
there's
been
some
advocacy
for
that
in
the
past
and
wondering
what,
if
anything,
we
can
share
with
them
as
to
what
the
likelihood
of
that
is,
and
then
there
have
been
a
lot
of
accidents
in
huntington
ave.
G
I'm
going
to
give
you
the
exact
address.
This
has
been
going
on
for
some
like
a
a
few
years
where
the
address
the
exact
address
is
it's
the
south
huntington
onto
huntington
towards
brigham
and
women's
hospital
that
corner
875
huntington
have
to
be
exact,
and
basically
apparently,
this
constituent
has
witnessed
personally
12
accidents
in
that
area
and
when
we're
talking
about
vision,
zero
or
you
know
the
vision
efforts,
I'm
just
curious.
What
can
we
do
to
address
that
particular
area?
G
And
then
there's
been
a
lot
of
calls
in
regards
to
dirt
bikes
zipping
through
our
streets,
and
one
of
the
one
of
the
recommendations
was
about
creating
a
dirt
park
lane,
like
a
dirt
bike
lane
for
for
these
bikes
to
just
switch
through
in
a
place.
That's
a
little
bit
more
contained.
G
I
thought
it
was
a
fabulous
idea,
but
you
know
I
I'm
and
that's
probably
a
crazy
idea
too,
but
I
think
I
would
love
to
hear
what
are
what
are
you
all
thinking
about
how
we
can
address
some
of
the
issues
around
the
dirt
bikes?
Is
it
possible
to
do
that
and
I
know
I'm
being
recorded,
so
this
is
probably
going
to
go
viral,
but
I'm
putting
it
out
there
just
because
a
constituent
thought
it
was
a
good
idea.
A
Counselor
yeah
I'll
just
say
because
I
think
the
huntington
south
huntington
intersection
it's
in
my
district
and
we're
very
concerned
about
it.
It's
probably
a
btd
conversation
for
that
hearing
just
about
the
the
safety
at
that
intersection
and
and
similarly
it
might
be-
that
adding
a
youth
center
is
a
bcyf
conversation
but
I'll
see.
If
the
team
here
wants
to
say
anything
about
that
or
about
the
the
potential
of
a
city
sponsored
dirt
bike
track.
D
I
defer
to
the
counselor
from
beacon
hill
for
for
the
answers
to
those
three
questions.
I
think
that's
exactly
right.
C
G
Well,
I
well
yes,
I
I
do
appreciate
the
deferments
here,
but
eventually
justin
you
are,
you
know
the
the
head
money
in
charge
guy
here
so
eventually,
it'll
come
across
your
desk
and
you're
gonna
have
to
decide.
D
I
think
it's
a
great
question:
I'm
happy
to
I'm
happy
to
circle
on
a
policy
around,
not
a
policy,
I'm
having
a
circle
around
the
current
strategy
around
the
dirt
bikes
I
mean,
I
think,
anywhere
in
the
city
of
boston
land
is
of
a
value
right
now
and
it's
it's
exceptionally
high.
I
think
we're
always
measuring
how
we
can
use
public
assets
to
best
serve
our
community
and
if
there
would
be
a
place
that
would
make
sense.
I'm
sure
we
would
look
at
it.
G
That's
that's
a
more
acceptable
answer
than
deferring
it
to
the
chair
here.
Okay,
I'm
going
to
hold
you
accountable
to
at
least
answer
something,
but
I
I
won't
hold
you
here,
and
I
also
would
like
to
congratulate
mr
irish
on
on
your
new
appointment
and
glad
to
see
you
in
the
space.
A
Thank
you,
councilor
mejia,
we
were,
we
were
joined
by
councillor
michael
flaherty,
he's
here,
counselor
flaherty.
We
were
just
we're
about
to
wrap
up.
I'm
happy
to
give
you
a
chance
to
ask
the
team
questions.
Counselor
flaherty.
In
addition
to
being
our
our
oh.
No
now
I
don't
know
the
right
word.
Michael.
Our
senior
member
is
also
the
chair
of
the
council's
new
covered
recovery
focus
committee.
So
definitely
a
partner
in
this
work.
Counselor
flaherty
you
have
the
floor.
Thank.
L
You,
madam
chair
and
I'll,
be
very
brief.
I'm
just
joining
a
to
set
scheduling
conflicts,
but
some
refer
to
me
as
the
dean
or
the
longest
serving,
but
a
lot
of
great
projects
that
I'm
excited
about
in
the
budget,
whether
it's
the
parks,
improvements
in
improvements
to
municipal
buildings.
I
think
the
question
we
often
get
when
we
get
multiple
projects
that
are
in
study
residents
are
unclear
on
how
long
they
you
know,
they're
in
study
versus
whether
or
not
they're
receiving
funds
etc.
L
So
my
advice
would
be
just
to
try
to
be
as
as
open
and
transparent
and
try
to
manage
expectations
from
the
public
to
the
best
of
your
abilities,
I'm
also
good
to
see
and
going
to
continue
to
support
vision,
zero
initiatives
across
the
city,
I'm
excited
to
see
additional
funding
for
vision,
zero
and
neighborhood
slow
streets
development,
and
you
know
in
ways
to
expand
in
the
the
bike
lane.
L
I
would
like
to
see
accelerated
funding
for
crosswalk
in
lane
marking
revitalization,
as
well
as
the
led
pedestrian,
rapid,
flash
beacons
and
in
the
dangerous
high
traversed
areas,
and
I
I've
also
heard
concerns
across
the
city
with
respect
to
the
the
octopus
intersections.
That's
the
five-way
intersections
that
we
see
another
one.
That's
of
significant
importance
is
the
roslindale
one
at
the
cummings
highway
canterbury
and
american
legion
highway,
so
keeping
an
eye
on
that
would
be
great
and
then
obviously
justin.
L
We
had
talked
the
other
day
with
the
school
committee
about
with
the
school
folks
about
madison
park
high
school
and
getting
the
upgrades
over
there
and
putting
focus
on
trying
to
make
that
the
best
vocational
high
school
in
the
state
so
and
obviously
the
trinity
town
branch
library.
I
guess
how
much
longer
will
that
be
in
study?
That's
sort
of
the
point
that
I
was
making
just
a
couple
minutes
ago
with
respect
to
like
it's
in
study.
You
know
what
point
do
we
are
we
managing
expectations
on
that?
H
Thank
you
counselor.
So,
in
terms
of
the
china
town
that
has
been
fight,
it
is
moving
out
of
study
and
going
into
design
that
has
been
funded
for
this
new
if
it's
approved
this
budget
cycle,
so
that
will
there
was
an
additional
five
million
dollars
put
forward
for
that
project
to
get
into
design
for
this
fiscal
year.
L
It's
great
to
see
you
carrie,
I
didn't
see
you
on
my
screen
originally
so,
and
look
forward
to
continue
working
with
you,
we've
known
each
other
a
long
time
great
to
have
a
mass
maritime
grad
in
the
building.
A
Great,
thank
you
so
much
counselor
flaherty
all
right.
I
think
I
think
that
we
have
come
to
the
close
here.
I
do
see
that
chief
irish
has
his
hand
raised
and
certainly
want
to
give
him
a
chance
to
say
a
word
so.
E
Yeah
thanks
just
want
to
give
a
brief
comment.
I
know
the
last
chief
of
operations
was
able
to
go
into
great
detail
about
the
many
talented
individuals
that
the
public
facilities
department.
I
I
will
spare
you
all
of
that,
but
I
think
you've
seen
enough
to
know
that
we
have
a
very
talented
group
of
individuals,
so
I
just
want
to
publicly
commend
them
and
also
probably
just
thank
a
chief
steroid
for
the
wonderful
job
that
his
team
does
to
get
us.
A
Great,
thank
you
so
much
chief,
irish,
yes
and
we're
we're
grateful
to
both
you
and
chief
steroid
in
your
new
roles
and
for
all
the
work
that
you've
done
in
the
old
roles
and
to
the
whole
team,
and
thanks
to
the
whole
team
for
being
here
on
both
the
obm
and
pfd
side.
A
I
think
I
managed
to
drop
my
gavel
somewhere
else,
so
I
will
I
have
to
do
without
it,
but
I
think
seeing
no
public
testimony
that
this
hearing
of
the
boston
study
council's
ways
and
means
committee
is
now
adjourned.
Thank
you
all.
