Docket #0347 - Hearing regarding MBTA's Better Bus Project
A
For
a
hearing
on
docket
number
zero,
three
four
seven,
a
hearing
on
the
Foss
MBTA
is
better
bus
program.
My
name
is
Michele
woo
and
I'm,
chair
of
the
Committee
on
planning
development
and
transportation.
I'm
joined
by
my
colleagues,
at-large
counselors,
Anisa,
sabe,
Jorge
and
Althea
garrison
I
want
to
remind
everyone
that
this
public
hearing
is
being
recorded
in
broadcasts,
live
on
channels,
Comcast,
8r,
c,
n8
e
to
Verizon
1964,
as
well
as
streaming
on
the
city
of
Boston
website.
A
So
if
you
could,
please
silence
your
cell
phones
and
other
devices
that
would
be
much
appreciated.
We
will
take
public
testimony
throughout
the
hearing,
so
if
you're
interested
in
speaking,
please
make
sure
that.
Thank
you
one,
please
make
sure
to
check
the
sign-in
sheets
by
the
door
and
we'll
keep
adding
folks
that
way
again.
Today's
docket
is
zero.
Three
four
seven
order
for
a
hearing
regarding
the
MBTA's,
better
bus
project.
So
the
way
that
the
will
do
the
program
today
is
I'll
invite
my
colleagues
to
give
opening
statements.
B
So
I'm
not
sure
if
during
your
presentation
or
if
afterwards,
because
I
will
watch
the
hearing
later,
if
you
could
reference,
maybe
some
of
the
work.
That's
happened
between
the
MBTA
and
the
Boston
schools
in
the
transportation
department,
in
particular.
So
I
appreciate
this
opportunity,
appreciate
you
here
and
sharing
this
information
with
us
and
the
the
slide
deck
that
you've
shared
and
chair.
Thank
you
for
your
leadership,
of
course.
On
this
issue.
B
C
A
You
very
much
oh
I
will
add
is
that
this
is
really
a
bench
as,
as
my
colleague
referenced,
we
have
been
many
of
us
on.
The
council
were
advocating
around
fare
policy
with
the
MBTA,
and
that
has
a
direct
impact
and
and
really
increases
the
burden
on
our
residents,
who
can
least
afford
it,
increases
traffic
and
and
makes
it
worse
in
terms
of
our
climate
change
goals.
A
But
that
aside,
this
is
an
area
that
the
city
can
directly
is
directly
participating
in
and
that
we
can
make
immediate
changes
that
do
not
need
a
vote
of
the
FMC
B
to
move
forward.
So
I'm
really
pleased
that
we're
all
here
at
the
table,
I
want
to.
Thank
you
all
for
coming
and
making
time
leave
with
a
very
busy
schedule
of
other
commitments
as
well.
A
I
want
to
thank
the
advocates
and
and
folks
in
the
audience
who
have
come
to
testify
whose
work
has
directly
led
to
this
language,
as
well
as
many
of
the
questions
that
will
be
asked
today.
So
again,
we'll
start
with
three
members
of
the
public
who
had
signed
up
to
testify:
Carol
Carol,
Blair,
Anna,
Leslie
and
Stacy
Thompson,
and
feel
free
to
use.
We
can
alternate
between
these
two
public
testimony
microphones,
if
you
could
identify
your
name
and
your
address
for
the
record,
and
then
you
have
two
minutes
for
testimony.
D
You
counselor
I'm,
sorry
I,
didn't
have
a
lot
of
time
to
prepare
this
and
I
would
have
liked
to
be
more
polished
for
you
all.
So
let
me
just
cut
to
the
quick
and
not
tell
a
lot
of
stories.
Yesterday.
I
was
on
the
tee
on
the
orange
line,
with
my
granddaughter
who's.
Not
yet
she
stood
at
the
window
and
watched
a
speed,
buy
the
cars
on
the
Turnpike.
D
That's
what
I
want
from
the
MBTA
I
live
near
Mass
Ave
like
a
two
minute,
walk
from
the
number
one
bus
and
many
of
my
neighbor's
own
cars,
because
they
need
reliable
transportation
to
get
to
work
even
if
they
live
in
subsidized
housing,
which
many
of
them
do.
Many
of
my
neighbors
choose
to
walk
to
Cambridge
because
they
can
get
there
before
the
bus.
D
No,
we
have
I'm,
sorry
I
had
a
copy
of
the
go
Boston,
2030
I
hope
you
were
all
familiar
with
that.
It
says
that
we're
going
to
have
bus,
rapid
transit
in
five
to
15
years
Vineet.
When
was
that
published
two
years
ago,
so
that's
2017.
Okay.
So
now
we
have
about
eight
to
three
to
13
years
left,
something
like
that.
Okay
and.
D
D
I
happen
to
talk
to
people
at
the
tea
and
the
city
at
a
better
buses,
open
house,
and
they
told
me
they
actually
sent
me
an
email
that
said
here's
what
we
would
want
in
exchange
for
moving
the
bus,
stop
that's
in
front
of
the
hotel
to
their
advantage.
Here's
what
we'd
won
in
return!
That's
what
I've
been
asking
for,
and
it's
not
seeing
the
light
of
day
I.
D
Don't
know
why
everyone
I
talked
to
at
the
tea
and
the
city
at
BTD
seems
to
support
it.
But
B
PDA
hasn't
required
the
developer
to
talk
about
those
things,
and
there
was
no
one
at
last
night's
meeting,
which
apparently
was
the
the
only
well.
It
was
slated
as
the
last
meeting
of
the
I
AG
to
address
mitigation,
and
there
was
no
one
at
that
meeting
to
say
from
the
city.
There
was
no
one
from
the
city
to
say
this
is
important.
This
is
consistent
with
our
transportation
plan.
We
would
really
love
it.
D
If
you
did
this,
there
was
no
one
there
to
say
that
there
was
someone
there
from
landmarks
to
say.
Please
restore
this
building.
There
was
someone's
there
from
B
PDA
to
say.
Please
get
this
done.
There
was
someone
there
from
the
neighborhood,
the
mayor's
office
to
say
this
has
been
a
valid
process,
but
nobody
there
to
say
this
is
important.
D
E
Morning
morning,
Thank
You
counselors.
Can
you
hear
me
it's
a
good,
thank
you
for
having
this
for
having
public
testimony.
First
I
really
appreciate
that
I'm
Anna
Leslie
and
I'm,
the
director
of
the
Austin
Brighton
health
collaborative
and
in
partnership
with
livable
streets
Alliance
and
with
Austin
Village
Main
streets.
We
have
been
actively
working
on
the
ground
to
have
a
dedicated
bus
lane
implemented
on
bright
nav.
For
about
a
year
we
have
initially,
this
came
from
a
resident
residence
interest
digging
up
the
cts
data
connecting
with
MBTA.
E
We
know
the
data
is
there
to
say
that
this
bus
lane
is
direly
needed,
in
contrast
to
other
neighborhoods,
we
are
often
compared
to
putting
seaport
with
rapid
development.
We
already
have
75,000
people
in
Austin
Brighton,
nothing
to
say
of
the
thousands
of
people
that
are
coming,
the
dedicated
bustling
that
we
are
advocating
for
us
for
the
fifty
seven
and
sixty
six
buses,
neither
of
which
are
proposed
to
have
any
changes
in
the
short-term
under
the
better
bus
plan.
So
again,
this
being
a
real
urgent
need.
E
Since
last
spring,
we
have
been
out
on
the
ground
at
bus
stops
in
the
morning.
Collecting
feedback
from
riders
wanting
to
hear
what
are
your
needs?
We
didn't
come
in
with
a
preconceived
notion
of
bustling.
We
asked
them
first
and
we
got
over
a
hundred
responses
and
the
majority,
the
vast
majority
people
were
saying
that
congestion
and
timing
were
their
biggest
challenges.
The
vast
majority
of
riders
are
going
to
work
and
to
school.
So
this
is
again
to
drive
our
economy,
something
like
this.
That's
really
needed.
E
We
then
returned
to
the
system
to
to
the
strategy
in
the
fall
and
did
a
real
heavy
push
to
come
back
to
to
those
riders
and
say
we've
heard
from
you
and
you're
really
asking
for
a
dedicated
bus
lane.
Do
you
support
this?
We
had
over
230
signatures
saying
yes,
so
we've
done
the
groundwork.
We've
talked
to
customers
going
through
Austin
village
who
are
really
getting
there
by
foot
by
public
transit,
not
by
car.
This
would
be
in
the
morning.
So
in
terms
of
impacts
on
parking
minimal.
E
We
really
want
to
replicate
what
was
really
successfully
done
and
championed
by
you
in
Roslindale
and
in
addition,
we've
talked
with
the
businesses.
So
we've
done
again,
we've
done
the
groundwork.
We
have
business
signatures
saying
they
support
this.
We
don't
understand
what
the
holdup
is.
We've
gotten
a
written
commitment
from
the
city
saying
this
will
happen
in
the
spring.
We're
now
being
told
it
won't.
So
I
would
like
an
a
an
understanding
and
I
would
like
clarification
today.
What's
the
hold
up,
we've
talked
to
Public
Works.
E
We
packed
the
police
department
and
really
trying
to
strategize
with
everybody.
What's
the
best
way
to
make
a
pilot
successful
talking
about
a
long
term
pilot
that
could
really
test
the
system
over
the
long
term
in
the
spring,
when
students
are
still
in
session,
it's
essential
that
this
be
done
when
students
are
still
in
session,
because
so
many
of
them
use
this
route.
E
We've
thought
this
through
as
the
awesome
right
and
health
collaborative
and
as
a
Transportation
Committee
within
that
that
has
dozens
of
organizations
and
civic
and
organizations
as
part
of
that
we
have
yet
to
receive
any
response
from
the
city.
Councilor
co-moh
is
supportive
of
this
he's
been
doing
ground
work
on
our
behalf.
We
have
engaged
with
the
MBTA,
but
in
terms
of
hearing
from
the
Boston
Transportation
Department,
we
have
yet
to
have
a
response,
and
so
we're
looking
for
one
today.
Thank
you.
Thank.
F
F
We
are
now
a
year
later
and
we
have
successfully
implemented
a
pilot
in
Roslindale,
but
through
hundreds
of
engagements
across
the
city
on
Blue
Hill
Ave,
on
Warren
Street,
on
Mass
Ave
and
in
Allston,
we've
heard
from
the
community
that
they
feel
like
the
city
is
stuck
and
they
want
to
have
clearer
a
clearer
understanding
of
when
these
projects
will
be
implemented.
And
again
these
ones
are
critical.
F
You
know
specifically
looking
for
timelines
and
sort
of
areas
of
responsibility
who,
what,
when
for
the
Allston
pilot
that
you
heard
about
for
Mass,
Ave
and
foo
Hill
Ave,
which
commissioner
Bianca
highlighted
as
priorities
for
the
city
in
her
presentation
to
the
FMC,
be
in
I
believe
December.
So
you
know
we'd
like
to
move
from
ideas
reports
to
like.
What's
the
timeline,
everything
in
this
report
is
achievable
with
the
resources
we
have
right
now.
F
A
You
very
much
I'd
like
to
acknowledge
that
my
colleague
and
district
councillor,
Eadie
Flynn,
has
joined
us
and
it
has
very
graciously
said
that
he'll
he'll
save
our
time
and
move
right
into
the
presentation.
So
I
know
if
we
could
start
with
Vineet,
please
representing
the
city
of
Boston
as
director
of
policy
and
planning
at
the
Boston
Transportation
Department.
G
I'm,
the
Director
of
Planning
at
the
Boston
Transportation
Department
and
I'd
like
to
thank
the
council
for
hosting
or
organizing
this
hearing
and
for
the
MBTA
due
to
come
and
talk
about
the
better
bus
project.
I
just
want
to
start
by
saying
that
the
city
recognizes
the
importance
of
bus
service
for
our
residents.
It's
is
the
highest
use
mode.
G
So
when
we
did
our
goal,
Boston
2030
plan,
which
is
a
citywide
plan,
even
though
we
don't
control
the
MBTA
directly,
we
made
a
huge
emphasis
on
identifying
projects
in
that
plan
that
relate
to
improving
bus
service
that
relate
to
improving
the
subway
service,
as
well
as
thinking
both
short
term
and
long
term
in
implementing
those
projects.
So
I
wanted
to
start
by
saying
that
relative
to
the
Vera
bus
project,
we've
we've
identified
its
importance
and
so
we've
been
working
hand
in
hand
with
the
MBTA
to
to
kind
of
review
their
detailed
root.
G
Pi
route
proposal
we've
had
meetings
with
the
MBTA
team
and
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
which
has
representation
from
throughout
the
city,
so
that
they
can
give
some
feedback
on
some
of
the
changes
that
have
been
made
as
part
of
the
better
bus
project
and
so
we'd
like
to
thank
the
team
for
making
those
presentations.
We've
also
had
a
meeting
with
the
disabilities
Commission,
so
they've
presented
to
the
disabilities
Commission
to
get
some
real
kind
of
on-the-ground
feedback
on
what
it
means
for
people
who
who
are
what
it
means
for
people
who
are
disabled.
G
We
are
also
organizing
presentations
by
the
MBTA,
do
our
H
strong
Commission
and
to
our
Health
and
Human
Services
Department,
as
we
believe
that
they
should
hear
one-on-one
from
those
two
Commission's
as
to
what
issues.
What
issues
have
to
be
addressed?
We've
done
a
detailed
analysis
route
by
root
of
our
of
of
the
proposal.
As
you
know,
we
recently
taken
on
board
of
a
new
transit
team
at
the
city
of
Boston
and
the
Transportation
Department.
G
Those
two
individuals
are
working
hard,
even
as
we
sit
here
and
have
started
to
make
a
difference
to
see
what
the
Transportation
Department
can
do
to
work
with
the
T
to
improve
bus
service.
There
are
several
projects
that
have
either
been
completed
or
are
well
on
their
way
and
have
been
announced
publicly
and
being,
and
community
groups
have
been
informed
of
those
of
those
projects.
G
As
you
know,
we
got
the
initiative
and
announced
the
Roslindale
bus
lane,
which
has
been
a
huge
success
it.
It
was
something
new
for
the
department,
all
our
divisions,
embraced
it,
and
we
are
very
proud
of
the
success
that
it
has
that
it
has
been.
We
also
announced
last
year
and
have
been
announcing
in
community
meetings
in
Allston,
and
everybody
in
Austin
knows
that
the
city
is
committed
to
this.
G
G
We
have,
as
we
always
do,
committed
to
up
to
a
robust
public
process
to
get
into
the
details
of
exactly
how
that
lane
will
be
designed
in
the
spring,
with
the
intention
of
trying
to
implement
it
as
relative
to
the
repaving
program
that
you
could
have
for
Brighton
Avenue.
We
don't
want
to
do
something
and
then
have
the
street
repaved
the
next
day.
We've
also
committed
to
a
bus
lane
or
not
Washington
Street
that
we
are
working
on.
G
G
We
have
to
also
see
how
that
bus
service
relates
to
what
the
aspirations
of
people
who
live
in
that
in
those
two
corridors
are
so
that
would
be
a
slightly
longer
term
project.
So
that,
in
a
nutshell,
is
a
quick
overview.
I'm
sure
I've
missed
some
things,
but
when
we
do
the
question
and
answers
I'm
happy
to
address
those
it
thank.
A
You
very
much
for
neat,
so
why
don't
we
do
opening
statements
from
everyone
else
and
then
we'll
do
Q&A
with
everyone.
I
want
to
acknowledge.
Also
that
I've
been
joined
by
colleagues
council
president
aundrea
Campbell
and
councillor
Kim
Janey
as
well.
So
what
makes
sense
in
terms
of
order
West,
do
you
want
to
start
or
go
down
the
line?
Just
any
order
feel
free
to
please
introduce
your
name
title
and
make
your
statement
I.
Think.
H
I
K
I
Thank
you
again
for
having
us
here
today
and
I
actually
just
want
to
quickly
say
thank
you
to
the
city
of
Boston
and
actually
all
the
surrounding
cities.
Actually,
today,
with
the
snowstorm
and
the
four
to
six
inches
of
snow,
we
got
over
last
night.
I
think
is
a
really
good
example
of
the
partnership,
actually
that
the
MBTA
has
with
the
cities
to
actually
clear
the
streets
and
actually
make
sure
specifically
for
our
bus
service
to
make
sure
that
we're
actually
getting
all
of
our
commuters
in
your
residence
where
they
need
to
go
on
time.
I
As
a
reminder,
our
bus
service
actually
is
about
a
third
of
our
ridership
every
day
and
so
I
think
it's
actually
really
vital
for
our
bus
network
to
work
with
cities
to
make
sure
roads
are
clear.
Sidewalks
are
clear.
Today
we
actually
had
a
really
spectacular
performance.
We
reviewed
it
this
morning.
I
There
were
so
no
major
issues
and
I
think
that
actually
is
a
testament
actually
to
the
cities
and
specifically
the
city
of
Basra
majority,
our
services
about
how
important
it
is
that
we
work
with
you
to
make
sure
your
streets
work
for
our
buses,
so
that,
obviously
you
guys
on
the
streets
I,
just
when
I
sort
of
quickly
acknowledged,
there's
a
great
partnership
in
working
with
the
city
of
Boston
today
to
make
sure
we
provided
service
for
our
customers.
So
thank
you
so
leading
off
make
sure
this
works.
I
E
I
I
We
have
about
180
routes
across
our
entire
network
that
serve
our
customers
about
four
or
about
400,000.
Of
those
trips
are
taken
every
single
day
on
bus
service
we
have
over
about.
We
have
over
1.3
million
trips
across
the
entire
network,
our
bus
network,
specifically,
we
serve
50
communities
around
the
network.
So
this
is
just
kind
of
laying
the
framework
for
what
is
our
bus
network
so
really
kind
of
diving
into?
What
is
the
better
bus
project?
We
were
tasked
and
20
early
2018
was
really
looking
at
what?
I
What
are
our
standards
for
our
bus
network
and
how
is
our
bus
system
actually
meeting
those
standards?
We
actually
have
what
we
call
it
service
delivery
policy,
which
is
adopted
in
2017,
which
set
forth
what
are
standards
that
we
should
be
achieving
our
and
then
we
measure
every
bus
route
against
those
standards.
So
we
know
that
we're
not
meeting
those
standards
on
the
majority
of
our
routes
and
we
wanted
to
understand
what
the
gap
was
and
sort
of
how
we
can
start
to
close
that
gap.
I
So
we
went
through
a
process
where
we
evaluated
the
entire
bus
network
against
that
delivery.
Paul,
our
service
delivery
policy
identified.
It
identified
some
foundational
changes
we
can
make
to
better
serve
our
customers,
perform
outreach
around
those
changes
and
then
come
back
and
develop
a
plan
recommendation
to
our
board
and
then
based
on
that,
we
looking
to
implement
the
first
round
of
changes
by
the
fall
of
this
year,
so
just
from
a
high
level,
there's
a
lot
of
potential
changes
that
we're
considering
as
part
of
the
better
bus
project.
I
It's
not
really
just
about
how
we
change
our
service.
It's
also
about
you
know
about
the
operational
changes,
the
things
that
happen
behind
the
scenes.
It's
also
about
capital
investments,
making
sure
we
have
the
right
number
of
buses,
the
right
number
of
facilities,
the
things
the
public
don't
see
but
are
really
important
to
maintaining
a
bus
system.
Those
are
the
capital
investments
and
the
fourth
fourth,
fourth
leg
that
we
see
is
really
important
is
our
partnerships
with
municipalities.
This
is
really
important
for
our
bus
network
because
our
buses
run
on
city
streets.
I
They
rely
on
sea,
sidewalks
and
city
infrastructure
city
signals
to
operate
our
system.
So
it's
really
important.
We
have
a
strong
partnership
with
municipalities
to
make
sure
we
inch.
We
have
frequent
and
reliable
bus
service
and
never
spend
too
much
time
getting
into
the
potential
benefits
of
better
bus
service.
We
kind
of
all
know
our
buses
will
show
up
more
on
time.
Get
people
to
work
faster
people
can
really
rely
on
the
bus
network,
so
just
kind
of
just
a
framing
of
a
fourth
thing.
I
So
we
started
our
outreach
process
in
summer
of
last
year.
We
actually
went
out
to
the
public
and
we
had.
We
actually
asked
them.
What
routes
do
you
ride
and
what
are?
What
do
you
see
is
the
biggest
problems
we
have.
We
had
a
lot
and
lot
of
feedback.
We
had
seven
regional
public
meetings,
we
had
15
transit
talks,
which
is
really
us
going
into
local
community
groups.
Neighborhood
groups,
people
are
already
hosting
meetings
and
talking
with
them
about
the
better
bus
project.
I
We
did
Street
teams
where
we
actually
send
multiple
staff
to
some
of
our
busiest
bus
stop
locations
and
they
just
start
handing
out
surveys
trying
to
collect
information,
as
people
are
waiting
for
the
bus,
the
product
of
that
summer
outreach
was.
We
had
over
a
thousand
online
paper
surveys
collected
and
then
over
to
almost
2,000
online
surveys
collected,
so
we
heard
from
over
3,000
people
about
what
routes
do
you
ride
and
then
what?
I
What
are
the
biggest
concerns
that
you
have
and
not
only
do
we
listen
to
our
customers,
but
we
actually
started
listening
to
our
operators
more,
we
actually
hold
and
we
continue
to
hold
monthly
listening
sessions
with
all
of
our
operators,
because,
honestly,
they
probably
know
more
about
the
system
than
anyone
does
who's
who's
riding
the
bus
every
day
because
they
ride
those.
They
drive
those
routes
multiple
times
every
day,
so
we
want
to
make
sure
we're
hearing
from
our
operators
as
well.
So
what
did
we
hear?
I
You
know
from
the
public
by
and
large
the
top
two
things
we
heard
is
we
want
more
reliable
and
more
frequent
service.
This
might
seem
obvious,
but
I
think
it's
really
important
for
us
to
emphasize
that.
That
is
what
we
heard
from
the
public,
and
we
want
to
really
want
to
use
that
as
sort
of
our
guidance
for
how
we
consider
any
changes
to
our
system
so
and
then
from
also
from
our
own
drivers.
We
heard
that
they
have
schedules
that
can't
be
met,
and
that's
that's.
I
What
kind
of
that's
a
problem
both
for
our
drivers
and
for
the
public
and
also
the
drivers
recognized
they
would
like
to
see
better
spacing
a
stops.
We
have
almost
8,000
bus
stops
in
our
system,
that's
more
than
a
lot
of
our
peer
systems
and
it
actually
does
cause
our
buses
to
stop
a
lot
which
does
slow
down
service
as
well.
So
then,
we
also
reached
out
to
consultants
and
have
them
review
or
all
180
roots
in
our
system,
and
they
found
a
litany
of
things.
Really.
Our
service
is
really
complex.
I
We
don't
have
good
levels
of
frequency.
Service
is
slowing,
getting
slower
as
congestion
increases.
Surface
is
unreliable.
Buses
are
overcrowded,
many
routes
start
to
late
in
the
morning
and
end
to
early
in
the
evening,
and
we
just
sort
of
operate
service
too
infrequently.
So
this
was
this
is
what
we
found
out
through
the
first
round
of
analysis
and
public
outreach
that
we
sort
of
take
the
heart
and
figure
out.
Okay.
What
can
we
do
better?
I
What
should
we
come
back
to
the
public
with
and
talk
about
so
kind
of
dive
it
into
a
little
bit
of
what
our
process
map
is
so
I
think
this
is
really
important
to
understand
what
we're
doing
now,
what
we've
done
and
what
we
look
to
do
in
the
future.
So
on
this
slide,
you'll
see
on
the
left.
This
is
our
continuous
change.
We
really
want
to
identify
that
we
we
have
done
a
lot
so
far
to
improve
bus
service,
but
that
doesn't
mean
we
stop.
We
actually
will
continue
to
do
more
and
more.
I
I
This
is
kind
of
what
we
this
is
what
we
undertook
during
the
round,
one
of
the
public
outreach
process
and
we've
heard
from
a
lot
of
people
and
then,
with
that
On
January
28th,
we
released
two
reports
really
related
to
the
analysis,
which
is
the
state
of
the
system,
which
is
really
an
honest
and
critical
look
of
our
bus
network
and
what
the
challenges
we
face
are
and
also
market
analysis.
Looking
at
who
are
the
populations?
I
What's
the
demographic,
we
survey
everything
around
the
bus
network
that
really
influences
the
bus
network
and
then
the
middle
column,
which
is
really
kind
of
the
focus
of
what
we're
here
to
talk
about
today.
These
are
the
proposed
near-term
changes,
so
we
released
this.
Our
proposed
near-term
changes,
also
in
January
twenty-eighth,
which
was
really
the
kickoff
for
a
public
outreach
process
and
hopeful
I.
Think
all
of
you
have
a
copy
of
this.
I
What
we
call
the
follow
this
yellow
document
inside
of
it
is
a
list
of
47
different
proposals,
so
this
is
kind
of
what
we're
here
to
talk
about
today,
and
this
was
the
product.
This
is
what
we're
going
through.
The
public
outreach
process
right
now
to
talk
about
where
these
proposals
on
target
did
we
go
too
far.
I
Did
we
not
go
far
enough
and
we
can
go
a
little
bit
into
the
Morris
in
a
second,
but
this
is
kind
of
framing
where
we're
the
proposed
near-term
changes
are
so
what's
gonna
happen
with
this
is
on
March
13th,
we're
gonna
end
we're
going
to
conclude
our
public
process.
We're
look
at
all
the
comments
we've
received
figure
out.
I
Are
there
proposals
in
this
package
that
we
need
to
change
our
proposals
that
were
on
target
proposals
that
need
to
get
pulled
and
then
bring
a
final
package
of
changes
to
our
board
in
April
to
get
their
review
of
the
package
and
approval
if
they
approve,
then
we
look
to
implement
that
the
majority
of
these
changes
as
early
as
fall
of
2019.
Anything
that
might
be
more
complex
might
fall
a
little
bit
behind
that,
but
the
majority
of
them
are
looking
to
implement
fall
of
2019.
I
I
Things
such
as
bus
lanes
queue,
jumps,
transit
signal,
priority
and
other
mechanisms
to
actually
change
city
street
infrastructure
to
make
our
buses
run
faster
and
be
more
reliable.
So
then,
with
that,
looking
to
the
future,
we're
partnering
with
our
colleagues
and
mass
transit
planning
who's
leading
this
effort
called
Network
redesign.
So
this
is
really
looking
at
a
new
sets
of
data
that
we
don't
have
today.
I
What
the
future
of
the
network
could
look
like,
they're
in
the
early
planning
stages
of
that
and
they're
kind
of
in
the
data
collection
phase
right
now
and
trying
to
understand
what
those
measures
should
be,
but
we're
working
closely
with
our
colleagues
that
mast
that
to
move
that
forward
and
this
what
we
seating
today
and
now
talking
about
Metro
bus
project
is
really
bill.
A
market
share
for
what
could
be
a
future
transit
network
and
really
trying
to
build
ridership
and
serve
our
riders
now,
as
opposed
to
waiting
for
something
to
happen
in
the
future.
I
So
that's
just
sort
of
a
context
setting
for
all
the
things
that
we
have
going
on
and
I
want
to.
Let
you
know
that
we're
gonna
continue
to
work
towards
improving
servus.
Let
me
jump
to
the
next
slide,
so
jumping
kind
of
back
to
the
proposed
near-term
changes.
We
had
a
number
of
principles
that
we
looked
at
when
we're
looking
at
what
the
opportunities
were
throughout
the
network
to
improve
service.
I
So
first
we
were
tasked
with
looking
at
things
that
are
cost
neutral,
so
this
is
really
important
because
we
needed
to
fix
the
foundation
of
our
network
before
we
can
look
at
investing
in
new
opportunities.
So
we
found
a
number
of
proposals.
All
47
proposals
are
including
this
folio
or
cost
neutral
ways
to
improve
frequency,
reliability
and,
in
some
cases,
even
make
new
connections
that
we
heard
from
that.
We
heard
people
wanted
in
round
one.
The
other
principle
is
we
wanted
to
combine
similar
services
throughout
our
network.
I
We
might
have
services
that
are
parallel
to
each
other,
get
people
to
the
same
place.
It
just
might
take
a
different
approach.
Is
there
an
opportunity
to
actually
combine
those
and
provide
better
frequency
reliability?
Also,
we
wanted
to
minimize
route
variations.
There
are
some
routes
that
have
over
ten
variations
for
the
way
they
run
the
middle
a
day.
I
It's
one
route
number,
but
it
might
go
to
ten
different
places
in
the
middle
of
the
day
and
it's
actually
complex
and
confusing
for
our
customers
and
not
only
that
it's
sometimes
hard
for
operators
to
remember,
at
which
time
they
leave
the
garage
and
where
they're
supposed
to
go.
So
we
want
to
try
to
minimize
the
variations,
but
that
can
also
improve
our
reliability
and
our
frequency
of
our
service.
We
also
looked
at
shortening
unproductive
sections
of
our
routes.
I
There
are
sections
of
our
routes
that
are
very
long
and
sometimes
the
very
tail
ends
they
might
serve
very
few
riders.
There
might
not
be
a
market,
so
we're
looking
at
opportunities.
Can
we
actually
shorten
that
and
then
reinvest
that
in
the
route?
Additionally,
are
there
opportunities
for
us
to
straighten
routes?
We
have
some
routes
that
we
don't
even
know
why
today,
where
they
go
down
those
streets,
they
do
and
it
seems-
and
we
look
at
it
like.
I
Maybe
we
could
straighten
this
out
and
work
was
trying
to
figure
out
where
new
stops
could
be
and
how
we
can
better
serve
the
public.
It
will
also
reduce
complexity
and
provide
more
frequent
and
reliable
service.
So
those
are
the
principles
we
use.
We
looked
at
these
when
you
put
these
47
changes
together
so
kind
of
summing
it
up.
So
what
do
we
see?
Is
the
total
impact
of
this
proposed
package,
so
there's
47
proposals
in
here
that
affects
63
of
our
180
routes.
I
We
estimated
to
be
about
2000
passenger
hours
saved
every
weekday,
which
is
about
half
a
million
weekday
hours
a
year,
so
we
think
we
see
is
pretty
transformative
if
we
can
just
do
this
portion
of
making
these
permits.
We
estimate
just
looking
at
our
models.
We
get
about
8,000
new
bus
riders
a
day
or
over
two
million
or
new
rides
every
day
over
two
million
new
rides
every
year.
I
We
see
this
as
a
positive
impact
on
thirty
to
forty
thousand
of
our
weekday
bus
riders,
and
we
do
want
to
recognize
that
there
are
trade-offs
of
this,
because
this
is
a
cost
neutral
approach.
There's
a
subset
of
riders
that
will
be
inconvenienced.
We
see
sort
of
network-wide
about
786
weekday
bus
riders
would
have
to
walk
further
than
a
half
a
mile
to
catch
a
bus.
Half
a
mile
is
those
is
the
standard
we
look.
I
I
This
is
kind
of
one
that
we've
been
highlighting
for
a
while
now.
So,
as
many
of
you
know,
the
route
1
goes
all
the
way
from
Harvard
Square
down
to
Dudley
square.
It's
going
through
city
of
Cambridge
and
the
city
of
Boston,
the
CT
one
it
actually
is.
I
was
gonna,
say
perilous,
but
actually
is
Rudin's,
runs
the
same
route
CT
one
from
Central,
Square,
all
the
way
down,
Mass
Ave
and
then
turns
in
and
does
a
sort
of
loop
around
and
into
Boston
Medical
Center.
I
So
we're
actually
proposing
to
combine
these
services
some
of
the
challenges
that
we
actually
see
with
the
route
1
and
CT
1
is
some
of
our
customers.
Who
can
wait
for
either
of
the
routes
they
might
see.
Routes
come
every
4
or
5
minutes
and
then
up
to
you
know,
15
to
18
minutes
just
sort
of
depending
on
when
how
it's
scheduled
the
challenges,
because
these
are
routes
that
senators
truly
serve
a
lot
of
the
same
customers.
It
is
really
hard
to
schedule
them
because
they
are
different
routes
that
have
slightly
different
endpoints.
I
So,
by
actually
combining
the
routes,
we
can
actually
provide
a
better
schedule,
that's
more
reliable
and
actually
can
better
serve
our
customers,
because
we
can
shorten
those
long
wait
times
and
they
can
actually
we
can
actually.
We
think
we
can
actually
reduce
the
bunching
and
the
crowding
that
might
happen
on
the
existing
route,
one
in
CT
one
service,
there's
trade-offs
to
this
as
well,
because
we
are
sort
of
we
are
looking
at
the
way,
a
different
way,
how
we
serve
Boston,
Medical
Center
right
now.
I
So
using
the
route,
one
CT
when
it's
example,
sort
of
what
is
the
materials
that
the
public
are
seeing.
So
we
have
a
series
of
one
we
they're
sort
of
one-page
summaries
of
every
single
proposal
available
online,
and
we
have
a
couple
copies
here
today
that
we
can
leave
behind
as
well.
So
when
our
customers
go,
there
they'll
see
that
there's
a
proposal
for
the
route,
one
cnc
to
one
provides
a
description
of
the
change
on
the
right
side
of
the
front
page.
We
have
the
aggregated
customer
impact
and
then
we
provide
a
map.
I
So
this
is
we're
right
now,
in
the
midst
of
our
second
round
of
public
outreach,
we
learned
a
lot
in
round
one
last
summer,
what
works
and
what
doesn't
so
with
round
two
we've
built
up
sort
of
what
we
thought
was
really
effective
and
then
tried
to
tweak
what
we
thought
could
have
been
more
effective,
so
we're
doing
a
lot
of
things.
So
we
have
a
website
which
is,
by
and
far
the
best
way
for
us
to
receive
back,
receive
the
most
to
see
them
and
receive
the
most
complete
feedback.
I
Again,
that's
MBTA
comm
/,
better
bus
keeping,
go
there
review
every
single
proposal
and
provide
feedback
on
every
single
route.
We
also
have
a
digital
imprint
advertising
campaign.
That's
robust,
we're
also
doing
neighborhood
briefings,
that's
actually
us
going
into
existing
community
groups
and
meeting
with
them.
Talking
about
this
project,
answering
any
question:
have
it
in
the
proposals
we're
also
holding
larger
community
meetings
where
we
partner
with
other
programs
and
projects
at
the
MBTA
and
we're
going
out
actually
having
an
MBTA
hosted
meeting
and
it's
sort
of
open,
it's
sort
of
an
open
style.
I
We
call
it
like
the
science
fair
model
where
people
come.
They
look
at
some
of
the
easels
and
boards.
We
have
lots
of
staff
there
to
sort
of
talk
about
the
different
projects
going
on
at
the
MBTA,
we're
also
having
a
number
of
open
houses,
and
these
were
really
targeted
at
trying
to
go
to
station
areas,
especially
bus
station
areas
where
a
lot
of
our
customers
might
get
on
and
off
our
system
and
trying
to
catch
them
as
they're
commuting
and
say,
hey,
stop
on
your
way
home
or
stop
on
your
way
to
work.
I
We
have
some
really
important
information
for
you
and
just
try
to
catch
them,
we're
also
doing
street
teams.
We
found
this
very
effective,
we're
actually
having
staff
go
out
meet
bus
riders
that
stops
and
just
sort
of
hand
them
information
to
let
them
know
and
drive
them
either
to
the
website
or
to
the
public
meetings
or
other
venues
where
they
could
provide
feedback.
I
We've
done
stakeholder
workshops
working
with
a
lot
of
advocate
groups,
we've
been
working
with
a
lot
of
officials
and
let's
state
legislators,
try
to
make
sure
we
get
the
word
out
about
the
project.
We're
also
doing
municipal
engagement.
A
lot
of
these
routes,
like
I,
said
they
go
through
municipal.
I
If
there's
any
revisions
that
we
should
make
to
these
proposals,
all
of
this
feedback-
we're
gonna,
be
aggravate
a
group
aggregating
it
and
bringing
it
back
to
our
board,
not
aggravating
aggregating
that
bring
it
back
to
our
board
and
that
will
actually
be
influencing
what
the
final
package
of
proposals
that
would
be
bring
in
to
our
board
for
approval
in
April
will
be
so
just
kind
of
lay
out.
The
timeline
I
know
we're
kind
of
in
the
middle
of
this
right
now,
but
we
have
six
street
teams
that
we've
done
actually
going
to
station
locations.
I
We've
done
seven
right.
We
have
seven
open
houses
scheduled
most
of
them
already
done.
We
have.
We
were
out
at
Forest
Hills
last
night
for
a
station,
open
house
and
then
next
week
we'll
have
a
few
more
and
then
community
meetings.
These
are
the
larger
meetings
where
we're
partnering
with
other
projects
for
programs
at
the
MBTA.
I
We're
almost
at
the
end,
so
that's
ok!
So
next
key
steps
so
we've
had
we've
gone
through.
We
presented
to
our
board
of
the
project
in
December,
we
talked
about
sort
of
the
near-term
changes
in
January
right
before
in
public
January
28
through
13th
we're
in
the
midst
of
the
public
outreach
process.
While
the
public
outreach
process
is
going
on,
we
talked
with
our
board
to
Monday's
ago
to
talked
about
what
we
do
with
additional
resources.
Setting
up
that
conversation.
I
So,
just
to
kind
of
quickly
go
through
specifically
to
the
City
of
Boston,
there's
30
of
the
47
proposals
that
impact
42
different
routes,
and
that
touched
the
city
of
Boston.
Not
necessarily
all
the
changes
are
happening
in
the
city
of
Boston,
but
the
routes
do
go,
do
go
into
Boston
and
we'll
be
making
changes
on
some
level
and
sometimes
and
the
majority
time
a
lot
of
it.
Routes
will
be
in
the
city
of
Boston
that
we're
changing,
so
maybe
I'll
have
Melissa,
read
them
while
I
go
through.
J
J
Again,
as
as
West
earlier
mentioned,
that's
really
focused
on
improving
service
on
the
1
overall,
even
though
it
means
that
there's
a
trade-off
of
folks
who
are
traveling
farther
into
the
Boston
Medical
Center
campus
area
would
have
a
longer
walk,
but
that
it
we
hope
that
it
would
improve
frequency
for
the
vast
majority
of
riders
who
are
using
stops
on
Mass
Ave
to
get
to
you
know
massive
station
in
hinds
and
across
the
bridge
over
to
Cambridge.
We
also
have
proposed
change
to
the
4.
J
That
is
our
main
connection
between,
say:
the
commuter
rail
at
North
Station
orange
line
and
green
line
across
over
to
the
South
Boston
waterfront.
So
the
proposal
here
is
to
bypass
northern
Ave
and
stay
on
seaport
Boulevard,
which
we
think
is
more
central
to
a
lot
of
the
new
developments
that
have
sprung
up
in
the
South
Boston
waterfront
area
and
would
be
a
more
direct
routing
as
well.
A
A
A
A
I
want
to
acknowledge
that
and
make
sure
to
thank
my
colleagues
who
have
joined
us,
councilor
mark
co-moh
and
councilor
to
McCarthy.
Thank
you
for
being
here
as
well.
So
I
know,
I
have
many
many
many
many
questions,
so
I'm
gonna
just
set
a
five
minute
limit
for
myself
for
a
round
one,
and
then
we
can
keep
looping
back
around
everyone
and
I'll
try
to
keep
it
one
question
for
you
all
one
question
for
Bernie
and
then
some
reflecting
the
public
testimony.
A
So
you
are,
you
are
familiar
with
the
statistic
that
livable
streets
had
highlighted
and
that
others
have
have
talked
about
in
terms
of
equity,
of
the
system
that
black
riders
in
the
region
spend
sixty
four
more
hours
on
the
bus
system
than
white
counterparts.
Even
though
the
sort
of
rates
of
usage
of
the
bus
system
are
the
same.
Are
you
familiar
with
that
statistic?
A
Yes,
okay.
It
just
struck
me
that
there
was
no
mention
of
equity
or
any
kind
of
demographics,
either
by
racial
demographics
or
income.
Demographics
in
the
presentation
so
I'm
wondering
I
mean
when
you're
proposing
cost
neutral
when,
when
cost
neutral
is
kind
of
the
first
criteria,
it
does
feel
like
it's
about
efficiencies
and
consolidations.
A
In
some
cases,
service
cuts
that
could
be
interpreted
as
and
I
know,
there's
going
to
be
a
second
round
of
investments
later
on,
but
in
terms
of
just
the
impact
slide
that
you
had
gone,
which
riders
have
a
faster
trip
and
shorter
trip,
verses
which
riders
will
be
inconvenienced,
do
you
have
any
of
that
breakdown
by
race
and
by
income
level?
So.
I
Yeah,
let
me
respond
to
that.
Just
think.
There's
two
things
that
make
everyone
respond
to
so
well,
we
see,
if
I,
think
one
is.
We
don't
see
this
actually
as
service
cut.
So
the
way,
actually,
the
the
proposals
that
we're
offering
that
are
cost
neutral,
we're
gonna
be
operating
the
same
number
of
buses,
we're
the
same
number
operators,
the
same
number
of
the
same
amount
of
operating
cost
for
us.
I
A
About
stretching
it,
it
seems
like
stretching
out
routes.
Eliminating
the
number
I
mean
stretching
out
stops,
limiting
the
number
of
direct
you'll
be
increasing
the
walking
distance
for
a
number
of
people.
In
some
place
cases
you
could
increase
the
frequency
to
match
that
but
you're,
not
necessarily
adding
more
routes
or
adding
more
drivers
or
buses
with
any
of
these
right.
I
We're
not
any
more
drivers,
we're
not
adding
more
buses.
In
some
cases
we
are
adding
routes,
but
it's
at
a
cost
of
something
else,
but
it
was
really
some
usually
based
on
a
tweak
that
we
heard
from
the
community.
They
wanted
a
change
to
be
made
so
we're
looking
at
a
couple
changes
in
the
system.
Okay,
and
to
your
second
question,
we
actually
are
so
there's
two
two
things
to
bring
up
so
one
the
market
analysis
which
I
referred
to
earlier.
I
We
didn't
actually
talk
too
much
about
that,
but
that
actually
just
provides
some
of
initial
demographic
and
other
income
information
as
well.
It's
probably
else
or
system-wide.
The
second
piece
is,
we
actually
are
performing
equity
analysis
right
now.
It's
not
finalized
yet,
but
it
will
be
ready
to
actually
bring
to
our
board
to
make
sure
that
actually
is
influencing
some
of
the
decisions
that
are
made
about
which
proposals
move
forward
and.
I
A
I
Other
piece
that
we're
hoping
to
actually
hear
the
other
pieces
we're
hearing
from
is
a
lot
of
our
disability
community
as
well.
Our
own
group,
some
system-wide
accessibility,
has
reviewed
these
routes
and
from
probably
a
different
lens
that
we
actually
ever
looked
in
sort
of
understand.
What
is
the
accessibility
issues
and
what
are
sort
of
stop
issues
related
to
our
disability
community
and
what
their
concerns
are
as
well.
They
can
also
influence
the
proposals
moving
forward.
Okay,.
A
So
just
a
question
to
clarify
on
rolls
to
make
sure
I
have
this
straight,
so
the
MBTA
is
in
charge
of
the
actual
sort
of
routing
and
where
the
buses
drive
the
frequency,
the
drivers
and
number
of
drivers
and
buses,
the
number
of
stops
and
BTD
handles,
but
we're
on
the
streets.
The
buses
drive,
whether
there's
a
dedicated
bus
lane,
as
well
as
some
coordination
on
signal,
prioritization
and
potentially
some
back
and
forth
on
the
exact
location
of
the
stops.
You
know
this
side
of
the
street
versus
that
one
is
that
right.
G
A
We
we
have
this
data
set.
I
hope.
My
colleagues
have
this
one
too,
which
I
want
to
thank
Trish
for
sending
over
it.
Just
has
on-time
performance,
and
so
you,
the
ones
at
the
end,
are
the
ones
that
are
most
late
or
delayed,
and
we
talked
you
know
some
of
your.
The
reports
lately
on
buses
have
emphasized
that
there.
You
know
there
are
a
lot
of
there's
a
lot.
A
A
G
We've
made
some
announcements
and
the
ongoing
transit
planning
that's
happening
in
Austin
Brighton,
in
partnership
at
the
MB,
between
B
PDA,
so
they've
been
some
community
meetings
that
have
been
held
in
that
neighborhood
in
the
fall
just
to
kind
of
announce
the
project
and
get
some
initial
feedback.
We
will
be
working
with
kind
of
local
community
and
holding
a
public
meeting
to
talk
about
the
the
bus
plane
that
we
would
like
to
install
on
Brighton
Avenue.
The
meeting
is
not
to
discuss
whether
we
should
have
a
bus
lane
or
not.
G
The
meeting
is
to
get
into
some
of
the
details
of
exactly
how
the
bus
lane
would
be
designed.
So
we
will
do
that
to
spring.
We
would
also
go
door-to-door,
much
like
we
did
with
in
Roslindale
and
talk
with
every
business
that,
but
there
are
many
many
many
small
businesses
along
that
corridor
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
their
issues
are
heard
and
that
we
try
to
resolve
them.
So
so
we
are
committed
to
a
public
process,
as
you.
L
A
meeting
set
up
with
bright
main
streets
who
committed
several
months
ago
to
start
that
public
process
by
going
door-to-door,
they
sent
me
something
that
it
was
totally
inadequate
and
so
I'm
meeting
with
Vinny
and
main
streets
to
see
if
they
can
kind
of
get
ahead
of
it
go
door-to-door.
You
know,
with
the
materials
the
outreach
materials
with
a
date
in
mind
to
get
this
project
started
sooner
rather
than
later
and
I've
been
in
touch
with
vignettes
office
and,
yes,.
G
D
G
A
J
Sure
that's
prepared
using
our
automated
vehicle
locations,
so
there's
GPS
is
on
the
buses
that
can
say
you
know
they're
departing
the
first
stop
they're
departing
the
intermediate
stops
they're
departing
the
final
stops
and
that's
compared
to
our
service
standards.
So
we're
trying
to
be
within
window.
That's
defined
in
our
service
delivery
policy.
I
think
it's
like
from
minus
one
to
plus
five
minutes
at
most
of
the
stops
along
the
route
and
it's
a
little
bit
different
at
the
first
and
the
last
stops
well.
C
M
And
thank
you
to
the
panelists
of
being
here
I'm
hearing
positive
feedback
regarding
the
number
nine
going
down
going
down,
Broadway
West
Broadway.
My
constituents
have
said
it
will
remove
lights
and
save
time.
They
do
have
questions
about
where
the
stop
will
now
go
across
the
street
from
Broadway
station
some
have
said
is
it
is
reasonable,
but
we're
wondering
if
you
would
elaborate
on
where
exactly
sure.
I
I
can't
provide
a
specific
answer,
but
actually
this
is
a
good
example
of
us
working
with
the
city
of
Boston
I
think
we
recognize
that
there's
a
challenge
there
about
where
the
bus
stop
would
go
and
we
need
to
work
with
them
to
figure
figure
out
where
that
what
that
would
look
like
and
also
sort
of
figure
out
how
the
bus
will
actually
make
that
left,
turn
so
I
think
going
through
the
public
process.
We
wanted
to
hear
from
the
public
if
there's
a
change,
they
wanted
to
see.
I
Now
it's
coming
on
us
working
with
the
city
of
Boston
to
figure
out
where
could
we
put
that
stop
where's
the
curb
space
available
and
partnering
with
them
on
with
them
and
to
implement
that
all
of
these
proposals?
Just
to
reiterate,
these
wouldn't
be
implemented
till
fall
of
2019,
so
we
have
a
little
bit
of
time
to
figure
that.
I
M
Also,
some
have
suggested
what
about
the
possibility
of
making
travel
astute,
Street
a
two-way
street
with
a
short
bus
lane
only
for
buses
under
the
expressway.
Is
this
something
that
might
be
considered
traveler
street
yeah
travel
straight
towards
the
underneath,
the
expressway
there
in
South
boss
and
the
South
End
area?
That's
something.
M
M
What
impact
will
these
46
changes,
and
you
can
even
give
me
your
answer
over
an
email
if
you
want,
but
what
impact
will
these
46
changes
have
on
the
on
the
disabled,
the
elderly,
BHA
residents,
those
most
likely
to
use
the
bus,
but
also
at
times
having
a
difficult
time
to
navigate
the
sidewalks
in
the
streets
to
actually
access
the
bus?
If
you
want
to
give
me
a
short
answer,
that's
fine!
If
you
want
to
send
me
something
over
the
email,
that's
also
fine
sure.
I
No,
actually,
this
is
a
really
important
point
for
us
too.
So
it's
something
that
we're
actually
working
closely
with
our
system-wide
accessibility
office
to
understand
sort
of
what
are
the
challenges
faced
by
actually
making
these
changes
and
I
think
it's
looking
at
what
the
opportunities
are
by
doing
this.
So,
for
example,
do
we
need
to
clear
snow
in
different
areas?
Do
we
need
to
probably
findings?
I
Do
we
need
to
provide
space
where
our
buses
can
now
have
like
accessible
bus
stops
that
didn't
exist
before
or
their
shelter
needs
kind
of
going
through
like
if
we
change
something?
How
can
we
provide
comparable
amenities
in
a
different
location,
or
how
do
we
serve
that
same
community?
Certainly,
there
are
trade-offs.
A
lot
of
this
is
like
we're
moving
some
stops
around
in
some
places,
so
there
could
be
trade-offs
about
the
distance
people
left
to
walk.
We
need
to
really
understand
that,
and
we
have
a
lot
of
great
staff
behind
the
scenes.
I
So,
anytime,
that
we
move
a
bus,
stop,
we
are
required
and
for
good
reason
to
make
sure
that
it
meets
our
accessibility
standards,
which
really
means
there's
like
a
5x8
space
at
the
front
door
and
a
four
by
ten
landing
or
at
the
back
door.
So
if
we
move
any
stops,
we'll
be
working
if
it
doesn't
aren't
that
space
doesn't
already
exist,
we'll
be
working
with
the
cities
and
towns
throughout
the
region
to
try
and
do
that
as
to
try
and
sort
of
build
that
infrastructure
or
find
a
location
that
meets
those
standards.
I
M
A
L
You
I
just
have
a
couple
of
quick
questions
to
the
86
bus.
Terribly,
you
know
unreliable,
it's
in
the
middle
of
the
pack,
according
to
your
data,
I,
don't
know
if
and
I
apologize.
If
you
had
already
addressed
this
I
know
you're
looking
at
the
stops,
the
amount
of
stops
where
they're
located
I
think
Western
Ave
has
been
brought
to
our
attention
numerous
times
that
there
needs
to
be
major
consolidation
on
Western,
Ave
and.
D
L
Think
that
would
help
speed,
speed,
speed
up
the
reliability
a
little.
Hopefully
you
know
I
know
we
have
to.
We
have
to
do
the
public
engagement
before
the
dedicated
bus
lane
is
implemented
and
I'm
really
excited
about
that
possibility
for
the
57
and
65
I
think
is
also
there.
The
64
I
also
see
that
I
used
to
live
on
that
route
and
I,
don't
know
how
long
you
guys
have
been
around,
but
about
six.
Seven.
L
Eight
years
ago
there
was
a
proposal
to
eliminate
the
root
from
looping
around
to
go
down,
Hobart
Street
and
right
now,
if
there's
a
snow
emergency,
it
will
go
directly
down.
Brook
Street
I
thought
I
actually
made
that
suggestion.
Seven.
Eight
years
ago
we
had
a
public
meeting
and
it
was
jam-packed
with
people
who
did
not
want
to
see
that
change.
You
know
it
was
unfortunate.
I
still
think
it's
better
to
go
right
down.
Brook
Street
but
I'd
be
interested
to
see
how
that
plays.
L
Yeah
yeah,
you
remember
what
probably
happened
right.
It
was
just
overwhelmingly
against
which
surprised
me,
because,
as
someone
who
lived
on
that
route,
everybody
that
convened
at
the
park,
which
is
the
hole
by
parkie
area
where
the
bus
goes
by,
seemed
to
be
universally
in
favor
of
getting
rid
of
it.
Why
is
this
bus
coming
down?
Or
you
know
a
residential
street
like
this,
but
then
for
some
reason,
so
I
don't
know
how
we
over
you
know.
Maybe
things
have
changed.
I
I,
hope,
I,
think
it
would
be
an
improvement
and
certainly
increase
the
reliability.
L
I
think
that's
and
then
one
other
thing,
that's
probably
maybe
know
I've
been
discussed.
I
recently
moved
to
a
new
location
and
the
bus
stop
is
you
know
not
not
far
from
the
the
location
I'm
living
at?
Have
you
looked
into
I
guess?
Let
me
preface
this
by
saying
when
I
pull
out
of
our
driveway,
the
sight
lines
for
you
know
getting
out
of
driveways
and
and
such
I
would
ask
you
to
look
at
you
know
if
you're
gonna
put
the
bus
lane
here
and
there's
a
curb
cut
here
and
people
are
coming
out.
L
Maybe
move
it
to
the
curb
cut,
it
would
help
improve
sight
lines
for
people
coming
and
going
out
of
garages
and
parking
lots.
I
know
it
would
definitely
improve
the
sight
lines
at
my
current
location.
It
just
made
me
think
this
could
probably
be
advantageous
in
other
spots
without
totally
messing
up.
You
know:
accessibility,
yeah,.
I
Let
me
just
quickly
respond
to
I
think
your
second
question
I'll
ask
Melissa
sort
of
clarifying
what
we're
proposing
for
the
route.
64
I.
Think
your
second
question
to
your
second
question
about
the
bus
stop
locations.
It's
actually
a
really
good
point.
It's
something
we
actually
think
about.
When
we're
putting
bus
stops,
there's
a
couple
considerations.
We
have
to
make
one
is
sort
of
the
operational
efficiency
of
it.
I
So
can
we,
for
example,
do
you
go
on
the
near
side
of
intersection
of
the
far
side
right
so
the
far
side
for
us,
particularly
operationally
better,
also
where's,
the
crosswalks?
So
that's
a
really
a
safety
issue
and
I.
Think
honestly,
the
sight
lines
are
a
big
issue
as
well.
We
want
to
make
sure
we're
not
putting
any
vehicle
drivers
or
any
pedestrians
specifically
like
in
harm's
way,
especially
because
they're
the
most
vulnerable
users,
so
we
do
take
all
that
into
account.
However,
there's
always
challenges
in
any
streets.
So
we
try
to
look
at
that.
I
J
Think
you
are
familiar
with
it.
It
is
very
similar
to
the
proposal
from
the
seven
or
eight
years
ago
to
have
the
bus
instead
of
going
through
the
sort
of
narrow
neighborhood
streets
on
Daniel
and
Hobart
Street,
taking
the
sort
of
more
direct
route
on
the
kind
of
more
the
larger
Street
Brookes.
So
that's
that's
the
proposal.
Yeah.
L
We
got
pushed
back
from
the
Brook
Street
people
who
didn't
want
it
there
and
people
who
wanted
it
to
go
down
Hobart
Street,
because
you
know,
for
you
know
it
was
just
more
convenient
for
some
people.
So
I,
don't
know
how
that
plays
out.
I
still
think
it
would
be
a
better
route
to
go
down.
Brook
Street,
but
you
know
for
the
sake
of
efficiency
and
timing
and.
F
J
L
N
Thank
You
counsel,
woo,
and
thank
you
for
being
here
and
thank
you
for
being
here
for
be
from
BTD
and
thanks
to
the
advocates
and
the
folks
who
are
here
as
well
in
the
middle
of
the
morning.
So
thank
you.
I
just
want
to
pick
up.
First
I
want
to
applaud
counsel
who
for
not
just
calling
this
hearing
but
specifically
calling
out
the
equity
piece,
the
inequities
and
systems
in
the
system.
When
it
comes
to
service
improvements,
the
list
is
long,
so
I'm
just
curious,
where's
the
route
28
bus,
Mattapan
outreach.
N
You
know
that
I
live
in
Mattapan
Matapan,
a
Dorchester,
my
biggest
neighborhoods
in
my
district
and
so
I.
Look
through
this
I'm
wondering
you
know:
where's
Matapan,
particularly
when
you
think
about
pockets
of
Matapan
that
not
only
rely
on
bus
service
but
where
there
are
just
sort
of
transportation
deserts.
So
I'm
curious
what
the
outreach
was
in
Mattapan,
what
the
Future
outreach
will
be.
Were
there
any
conversations
around
the
route,
28
bus,
specifically
and
also
I'll?
N
I
We
hadn't
didn't
identify
sort
of
any
sort
of
foundational
changes
to
our
system,
but
I
think
there
could
be
opportunities
once
we
engage
the
community
through
that
process
understand
where
the
city
wants
to
go
and
sort
of
a
planning
perspective
that
could
help
inform
potential
changes
in
the
future
as
well.
So.
N
I
will
say:
Dudley
is
great,
Roxbury
is
great,
and
councillor
Janie,
who
does
an
excellent
job
representing
Roxbury,
will
talk
about
Roxbury.
We
love
Roxbury,
but
you
know
Matapan
is
far
away,
and
so
it
has
to
be
intentional,
I
think
connecting
particularly
with
that
community.
It's
a
different.
There
are
different
concerns
there
with
respect
to
the
tea
that
often
get
lost,
because
there's
no
outright
outreach
or
engagement.
It's
great
to
know
that
you
guys
are
going
to
be
working
in
partnership
with
BPD,
a
and
sort
of
working
around
that
Matapan
planning
process.
N
Frankly,
that's
going
to
take
forever
I,
don't
know
how
long
and
I
think
we
need
to
be
doing
something
now,
so
I
would
encourage
the
tea.
You
have
a
lot
more
resources
frankly
than
the
Boston
City
Council.
Then
we
have
to
do
outreach
to
really
go
out
in
an
intentional
way
sooner
than
later,
I
think
and
through
maybe
a
process
of
your
own
or
with
BTD
to
do
better
outreach
I
have
to
just
sort
of
applaud
rep
Holmes
in
particular,
who
represents
Matapan
with
me,
he's
on
the
state
side.
We
need
to
do
it
now.
N
H
And
if
there's
something
I
could
add
that
that
and
it's
it's
as
we
go
out
to
these
community
meetings
and
the
team
we
try
to
get
as
many
people
out
there.
I
think
one
of
the
most
common
questions
we've
heard
is
this
is
great
but
where's
my
bus
route,
wise
and
included
in
these
near-term
changes
and
the
answer
is
sort
of
essentially
what
we
told
us
to
fold
one
this
level
of
effort.
H
These
proposed
changes
is
really
to
our
knowledge,
fairly
unprecedented
at
the
MBTA
and
trying
to
really
have
public
engagement
and
that
there's
only
I
think
two
things.
One.
The
better
bus
project
does
not
stop
with
these
47
proposals,
there's
multi-year
investments
and,
depending
in
our
learnings
from
this
process,
we
want
to
keep
doing
this.
We
want
to
keep
coming
forward
and
saying
what
ok
we
did
the
first
30%,
because
we're
only
really
affecting
30
percent
of
our
routes.
H
We
know
we
have
70
percent
of
other
routes
that
we
know
we
have
potential
to
improve
as
well,
but
from
an
organizational
capacity
standpoint.
There's
only
so
much
we
can
change
at
a
time
and
that's
also
where
the
network
redesign
comes
in.
So
if
someone's
route
isn't
on
here,
we're
communicating
it's
not
that
we
it's
not,
that
your
route
doesn't
need
to
be
more
reliable,
doesn't
need
to
be
more
frequent.
We
know
that,
but
only
able
to
do
so
much
change
at
a
time
and.
N
I
understand
that
and
as
I
begin
to
take
the
council
as
an
institution
through
racial
equity
training,
if
we
add
that
equity
lens
your
whole
perspective
on
the
work
changes
frankly,
I
think
you
start
with
a
Matapan
based
on
the
statistic
that
counter
who
cited
earlier.
You
start
with
certain
routes
in-
and
this
is
leads
to
my
next
question,
which
is
I.
Don't
know
if
you
sort
of
have
the
T.
Has
this
data
but
I'm
curious?
Is
there?
N
Is
there
datasets
that
say
which
you
know
by
grace,
for
example,
which
you
know
where
do
blacks
or
Latinos
or
what
bus
routes
do
they
use
the
most
right?
Because
I
think
you
then
start
there
and
they
should
be
at
the
top
of
the
list,
not
at
the
bottom
or
not
on
the
list
at
all
so
I'm,
just
you
know,
respectfully
pushing
back
and
saying
we
got
to
do
something
more
in
the
immediate
in
Mattapan.
I
think
the
city
also
needs
to,
of
course,
join
in
those
efforts.
I
want
to
join
in
those
efforts.
N
N
J
N
We
just
you
know,
I
said
you
know,
you
know
one
respect
the
time
limits.
You
know
people
I'm
done
looking.
We
need
to
start
doing
right
in
that.
If
it's
on
our
end,
if
the
holdup
is
on
our
side
banette,
let's
start
doing,
but
that
blue
have
Blue
Hill
Ave
corridor,
we
need
to
do
a
lot
more
and
and
I'm
all-in
I'm
all-in,
Thank,
You
counsel,
Thank
You
councillor.
O
Janey,
so
much
thank
you,
madam
chair,
for
holding
this
hearing.
You've
been
an
amazing
champion
on
these
issues
and
I
certainly
appreciate
all
the
work
that
you
do
want
to
thank
the
panel
and
also
want
to
thank
the
advocates
in
the
room,
who
are
doing
just
great
work,
reminding
us
that
we
need
to
invest
in
our
public
transportation
system
and
that
we
need
a
reliable
public
transportation
system.
I
also
want
to
thank
councilor
garrison
for
her
hearing
order
yesterday
and
for
her
comments
about
the
45
bus
route.
O
I
mean
you've,
said
the
statistics
64
hours
longer
for
communities
of
color
and
I'd
really
like
to
start
there
coming
back
again
to
the
equity
question
that
councilor,
Wu
and
and
council
president
Campbell
talked
about
I'm
very
much
interested
in
understanding
of
the
30
proposals
impacting
42
routes
in
the
city
which
are
in
Boston,
which
of
the
routes
are
in
Boston,
which
have
communities
with
lower
income.
And
did
you
do
an
analysis
by
race
and
income
at
all
and
I'm,
particularly
whoever
put
this
together.
O
So
I'm
interested
in
having
this
kind
of
information
done
by
race
and
income,
so
this
is
looking
at
the
routes
and
on-time
performance,
but
also
your
list
that
you
have
here.
You
know
how
you
came
to
this
list.
As
you
said,
why
aren't
we,
starting
with
the
28th,
which
goes
right
through
Roxbury,
to
get
to
Matapan?
Why
aren't
we,
starting
with
the
64
hours
that
black
riders
have
to
ride
much
longer
than
than
than
other
riders,
even
though
they
ride
the
T
at
similar
rates?
I
O
I
And
let
me
get
to
that
question
too.
I
think
that's
an
important
point
as
well,
so
what
we
did
actually
for
these
personal
errs
just
require
a
fornication
there's
47
proposals,
it's
across
the
system,
30
of
them
that
touch
the
City
of
Boston.
So
what
we're
actually
doing
is
right
now
we're
doing
an
equity
analysis
to
understand
how
these
proposals
impact
communities
across
sort
of
across
race
and
across
income
as
well.
So
the
proposals
that
we
have
here
today
we're
really
about
the
sort
of
foundational
changes.
I
There's
a
lot
of
roots
in
our
system,
we
might
say
the
actual
structure
them
might
actually
be.
Okay,
I
think
that
28
we
see
a
a
ridership
on
that
room.
It
might
not
actually
need
to
change
as
far
as
like
how
the
routes
structured
but
more
about
how
do
you
reinvest
in
that
to
make
sure
it's
better
than
it
is
today?
Is
it
additional?
You
know
some
dish
running
additional
buses?
Is
it
you
do
putting
in
some
sort
of
transit
priority
to
make
sure
it
runs
faster?
I
There's
a
lot
of
different
tools
in
the
tool
sets
that
we're
looking
to
implement
across
the
system.
Really.
What
we're
here
to
actually
talk
about
is
like
routes
where
we
thought
something
was
seriously
wrong
and
we
went
on
a
reset
the
foundation
of
our
network
before
we
start
building
on
top
of
that
and
I
think
if
we
can
get
if
we
get
a
package
where
a
sort
of
rebuilding
the
foundation
sort
of
that
allows
us
to
grow
in
new
ways
and
we're
not.
O
Gonna
stop
here.
Thank
you
and
I
want
to
be
mindful
that
we
have
these
time
limits.
So
I
I
would
be
very
interested
in
having
the
on
time
performance
data
by
race
and
income
I'm,
particularly
interested.
So
if
we
look
at
the
top
ten
the
best
performers
here,
you
know:
where
are
they
where
those
routes
and
what's
the
ridership?
O
And
if
we
look
at
the
worst
ten
and
then
what
do
we
propose
to
do
about
what
we
find
there
I'm
looking
at
this
on-time
performance
again
and
I,
see
that
the
Silver
Line,
the
SL
4
and
the
SL
5,
they
have
only
slightly
better
on-time
performance
than
the
23
and
the
28,
even
though
the
SL
4
and
the
SL
5
have
dedicated
bus
lanes
for
all
of
you
know
most,
if
not
all,
of
their
their
route.
Why
is
that?
Do
you
have
a
sense
of
why
that
is
anyone.
J
Well,
we
do
find
ourselves.
The
portions
of
the
SL,
4
and
SL
5
that
don't
have
bus
lanes
are
in
very
congested
areas
in
the
downtown
area,
especially
you
know
Washington
Street
north
of
where
the
current
bus
lane
ends
right
around
Essex
Street
and
that
area
it's
very
slow
going
and
congested.
We
also
are
looking
at
a
portion
of
the
port.
On-Time
performance
is
due
to
the
schedule
itself.
J
You
know
we
control
how
much
time
we
give
to
the
buses,
so
we're
actually
planning
to
make
schedules
updates,
as
just
part
of
our
ongoing
quarterly
changes
that
we
make,
and
the
sl4
and
sl5
are
kind
of
teed
up
in
the
next
I
forget
about
three
to
six
months,
but
certainly
you
know
on
Essex
Street
the
existing
SL
four-lane.
If
we
could
talk
about
getting
that
repainted,
that
would
certainly
help
with
the
on-time
performance
of
the
SL
four
in
particular.
So
there's
there's
lots
of
options
that
we
have
to
look
at.
I
That
really
quickly
to
it,
especially
in
the
downtown
area
where
the
bus
lanes
exist
for
the
Silver
Line
any
any
help
that
we
can
get
with
enforcement
would
also
be
really
helpful
there
as
well,
because
I
definitely
has
anyone
who
knows
it
kind
of
walks
through
that
area.
There's
a
lot
more
than
just
the
buses
driving
through
there
as
well,
and
so.
O
So
and
that
would
be
on
the
city
side,
so
let's
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
on
the
city
side.
So
last
night
I
was
at
a
meeting
around
a
proposed
project.
In
my
district
and
transportation
was
a
big
topic
and
I
think
there
is
disappointment
that
the
city
didn't
do
enough
to
really
lead
around
transportation
equity
and
are
only
kind
of
interested
in
what
the
development
team
wants
to
propose
and
isn't
really
offering
some
leadership
and
guidance
around.
O
How
do
we
do
this
better,
and
so
this
is
a
project
that
is
at
the
corner
of
Washington
Street
and
Mass
Ave.
So
the
number
one
bus
you
know
goes
by.
Certainly
the
Silver
Line
buses
go
by
the
Silver
Line
bus
is
very
long
it
can
it
bunches
up
it's
out
into
the
intersection
I'm,
hoping
that
you
can
speak
more
to
what
the
city
will
do,
moving
forward
to
ensure
that
there's
transportation,
equity.
G
Let
me
start
with
the
specific
project
if
something
that
we
actually
have
had
our
transit
team
analyze
and
try
and
see
if
we
can
make
some
improvements
to
how
both
on
Mass,
Ave
and
Washington
Street
how
our
bus
service
can
be
better
accommodated.
So
that's
something
that
we
will
meet
with
the
developer
and
have
a
hard
conversation
with
them
and.
G
G
We
do
realize
that
there
are
large
portions
of
the
city,
particularly
neighborhoods,
with
lower
income
and
great
but
more
blacks
and
Latinos
in
them
that
are
not
well
served
by
by
the
MBTA's
or
something
that
we
recognized
in
our
core
Boston
2030
initiative,
and
so
we've
identified
a
number
of
projects
that
we
think
need
immediate
attention.
Yep.
O
And
I
think
there's
an
opportunity
if
we're
looking
at
a
development
proposal
to
make
sure
that
we're
getting
some
sort
of
community
benefit
that
would
would
help
in
this
area
and
one
final,
if
I
may,
madam
chair
I,
know
I
heard
the
buzzer
going
on
and
I
want
to
be
mindful
I
just
hope.
Moving
forward.
I
know
there
are
lots
of
next
steps
that
there
is
this
analysis
around
race
and
income
and
that
that
informs
your
thinking
moving
forward.
O
I
think
you
know,
the
on-time
performance
is
is
very
important
because
it
is
impacting
communities
of
color
and
poor
communities
disproportionately,
and
you
know
I
look
at
the
overall
performance
and
it's
a
66%
and
we
are
not
using
letter
grades
anymore,
but
back
in
my
day
a
66
was
a
D
and
I
know
you're
doing
work
and
wanna
make
these
proposed
changes,
but
I
think
we
will
miss
the
mark
if
we
are
not
using
an
equity
lens,
as
we
move
forward.
So
I
appreciate
that
and
thank
you,
madam
chair
friend,
all
join
me.
Thank.
A
A
I
would
say,
if
it's
possible
to
get
the
equity
numbers
out
sooner
so
that
there
could
be
overlap
or,
on
the
other
end,
you
know
push
back
the
comment
period
so
that
there
can
be
another
push
around
people
reacting
to.
What
does
this
mean
and
does
that
I
think
there
are
riders
from
some
of
these
buses
at
the
top
of
this
chart?
A
G
I
actually
emailed
my
team,
you
get
a
more
accurate
schedule
right
now.
Thank
you,
so
just
so
that
we
have
it
for
the
record
effect,
and
this
is
a
schedule
that
we've
discussed
with
the
MBTA
and
okay,
that
we
had
we're
also
meeting
tomorrow
morning
to
talk
about
this
project,
the
MBTA
and
the
city,
to
really
get
into
the
precise
detail
of
how
we're
going
to
implement
this.
Because
the
city
is
very
committed.
The
MBT
has
committed
the
community
support
set,
and
so
we
want
to
go
ahead.
G
So
what
I
have
here
is
that
in
March,
we'll
be
reaching
out
to
the
local
community
in
April,
we
will
be.
The
T
will
ask
its
consultant
to
start
doing
the
final
design
for
for
this
project
and
please
jump
in
if
you
think,
wait,
and
so
that
would
take
till
April
and
May
and
then
so
the
earliest
that
we
would
also
develop
a
operations
plan
hand-in-hand
with
the
T,
because
it's
not
just
about
the
bus
lane.
G
I
G
For
tomorrow's
meet
tomorrow
morning's
meeting
that
you
thirty
in
the
morning
tomorrow,
you'll
have
a
will
have
a
much
better
idea
because,
just
like
you
would
like
to
pin
down
precisely
what
the
schedule
is,
and
there
are
a
number
of
factors.
Is
there
not
going
to
be
repaved?
I've
walked
down
the
corridor
several
times,
there's
some
neck
downs
that
come
in
the
way
that
have
to
be
thought
through
the
the
it's
not
as
easy
as
it
was
in
rows
entail.
G
G
A
G
A
A
G
You
never
talked
with
us,
and
so
we
want
to
get
right
from
the
very
start.
So
with
that
in
mind,
I
talked
about
North
Washington
Street,
so
that
that's
a
critical
piece.
We
actually
already
have
a
design
for
that,
because
it's
a
very
small
piece
and
that
will
be
a
about
twenty
four
seven
bus
lane
and
that
should
that
that
will
be
done
this
year.
G
We
we
have
a
design
for
that
section,
and
this
is
to
do
with
the
SL
4
and
SL
5
for
that
section
of
Washington
Street,
where
we
want
a
exclusive
bus
lane
so
that
that
portion
which
is
causing
the
delay
is
actually
addressed.
It,
and
so
we
have
that
design
ready,
it's
it's
a
matter
of
implementing
that,
so
we
will
do
that
in
2019
as
well.
We
are,
as
I
said
earlier.
We
are
we
want
to.
G
We
have
the
funding
to
hire
a
full-time
person
who
would
work
on
Blue,
Hill
Avenue
will
be
realize
the
importance
of
Blue
Willow
Avenue.
It
is
the
it's
in
our
top
ten
projects,
even
though
we
don't
control
the
bus
service
that
the
city
would
like
to
see
happen
and
so
we're
having
a
part-time
person,
and
we
are
rep
homes
and
gamble
and
particularly,
have
been
very
kind
of
helpful
in
this.
So
we
will
hire
a
full-time
person
over
to
that
corridor
and
Columbia
Avenue
the
car,
sorry
Columbia
Road.
G
We
hope
to
have
that
person
and
then
gills.
We
want
to
start
a
public
process
this
year.
I
can't
see
that
we
will
see
an
improvement
necessarily
in
2019
on
Blue
Hill
Avenue,
but
for
sure
we'll
have
a
very
engaged
process
to
figure
out
exactly
what
the
improvements
would
be
for
a
Blue
Hill
Avenue.
So
those
are
some
of
the
projects
that
are
about.
G
I
do
have
a
commitment
from
a
local
developer
to
provide
funding
to
us
to
do,
study,
to
look
at
kind
of
the
block-by-block
practically
foot
by
foot
analysis
that
it
will
take
to
install
a
bus
lane
on
massage,
given
that
all
modes
are
have
a
priority,
so,
as
a
pass
number
one
I
think
is
proud
to
thirteen
percent
of
all
vehicles
or
bicycles
on
that
corridor,
and
there's
only
so
much
space
that
we
have.
It's
also
a
very
challenging
corridor.
It's
not.
We
have
had
it's
the
highest
collision
corridor,
so
our
first
priority
is
safety.
G
G
So
again,
that'll
be
done
this
year,
Soviet,
like
I,
said
we've
just
got
trying
to
climb
on
board
last
month.
They
are
extremely
chomping
on
the
bed
to
get
into
to
get
into
all
these
projects,
and
so
I
I
can
promise
that
that
analysis
will
be
done
this
year
as
well.
It
will
be
done
in
partnership
for
the
city
of
Cambridge,
because
we
want
to
make
sure
that
there's
some
continuity
of
the
bus
lane
that
was
put
on
my
side
in
front
of
MIT.
G
It
could
be
done
in
coordination
with
the
MassDOT,
because
the
bridge
belongs
to
them
the
massive
bridge,
and
so
all
of
that
has
to
be
taken
into
consideration.
I
will
say
that
there's
a
development
that's
being
proposed
right
opposite
the
Symphony
Hall
Green
Line
station
and
I
was
in
a
meeting
with
them
last
week
and
they've
committed
to
keeping
to
to
making
sure
that
the
bus
lane
in
that
block
between
Newbury,
Street
and
Wall
Street
Street
is
a
bus
lane,
so
that
piece
I'm
good
about.
So
that's
my
apologies
for
the
long
answer,
but
that's.
G
A
A
G
A
So
essentially,
it
will
be
just
one
kind
of
entirely
new,
medium
to
large
scale,
dedicated
bus
lane
this
year,
which
will
be
Brighton
of
and
then
Washington
North,
Washington,
Street,
improvement
of
the
SL
four
and
then,
by
the
end
of
the
year.
Community
community
process
at
least
kicked
off
or
mostly
through
with
Blue
Hill,
Ave
and
Columbia
Road.
G
G
A
I
Chance
I
just
gonna,
see
if
I
can
add
one
things
like
I
want
to
stress
too
that
I
think,
especially
in
the
partnership
with
BTD.
We
actually
did
present
to
our
board
a
couple
weeks
ago
about
two
weeks
ago,
really
kind
of
stressing
and
trying
to
get
sort
of
trying
to
understand
where
our
board
is
that,
as
long
as
far
as
like
commitment
to
future
bus
port
infrastructure,
such
as
bus
lanes,
and
we
actually
did
make
a
proposal
to
them.
I
That
we'd
focus
on
sort
of
what
we
see
as
the
fourteen
highest
fourteen
miles
of
highest
need
corridors
throughout
our
system
and
that
we're
gonna
be
asking
for
funding
through
our
CIP
process
and
I
I.
Think
it
be
I,
be
shirking
me
to
say
that
I
think
our
board
and
her
leadership
was
actually
very
excited
to
figure
out
how
we
can
move
forward
with
investing
of
sort
of
the
areas
with
the
highest
need.
H
Much
funding
is
it
that
you
need
I,
think
we're
asking
for
about
ten
to
eleven
million
dollars.
That's
assuming
14
miles
generally
quick
construction,
some
ESP
and
we
have
some
additional
funding
available
already,
but
essentially
our
goal
here
is:
we
want
to
be
good
partners
and
we
all
realize
that,
no
matter
how
much
we
increase
our
operating
budget
and
adding
more
buses
and
operators,
we
need
to
increase
the
speed
of
travel
and
improve
the
reliability,
and
you.
H
We
can
with
the
corridor,
so
it's
it's,
not
necessarily
the
routes.
So
the
challenge
here
is
that,
because
we're
also
kicking
off
Network
redesign
right,
which
is
going
to
really
look
as
we've
talked
about
this
market
analysis
look
at
where
our
EJ
communities
are.
Where
are
the
jobs
where
the
schools,
where
are
their
hospitals
and
also
not
just
where
our
existing
riders
are,
but
where
all
the
people
who
are
choosing
not
to
take
transit
today?
H
So
looking
at
things
like
cell
phone
data
to
essentially
blank
sheet
redesign,
our
our
network,
but
with
that
even
because
Boston,
the
Commonwealth
is
not
a
grid
system
like
Chicago.
We've
got
this
radial
design
that
they're
always
gonna
be
corridors
where
we
will
always
have
transit,
whether
it's
the
one
out
of
CT
one.
H
There
will
always
be
run
buses
running
on
Nassif,
because
there's
only
so
many
bus,
so
only
so
many
corridors
they
can
handle
buses
and
the
loads,
and
those
are
essentially
where
we
know
there's
a
lot
of
congestion
today,
where
we
know
we're
carrying
about
65%
of
our
ridership
today.
Those
would
be
the
areas
that
we
want
to
focus
on,
because
we
think
they
are
a
low-risk
high-reward
and
will
then
fit
in
very
nicely
to
the
plan
network,
redesign
and
I've.
H
We've
asked
we
have
for
some
funding
available
already
we
and
we've
working
on
getting
contracts
in
place
right
away.
We
have
presented
the
goal
of
building
7
miles
corridor
miles
in
fiscal
year,
twenty
an
additional
seven
miles
in
fiscal
year,
21
and
again,
that's
not
just
Boston,
but
that's
throughout
the
Commonwealth
and
in
in
sort
of
comparison.
We
built
three
point:
we
being
a
Commonwealth
built
3.5
miles
this
fiscal
year,
which
includes,
for
example,
the
Roslindale,
the
Roslindale
pilot
that
why
you
picked
14
just
to
it
corresponds
to
essentially
everywhere
the
flow
of
traffic.
H
H
H
Saying
we're
willing
to
fund
and
support
the
development
of
priority
infrastructure
which
our
bus
lanes,
TSP
bus,
bump
outs,
Q
jumps,
because
the
challenge
is
we
there's
diminishing
return
and
putting
more
buses
and
operators
onto
the
streets.
If
we
don't
fix
that
problem,
because
essentially
we
the
T
can
guarantee,
we
will
start
every
trip
on
time,
but
as
soon
as
it
gets
out
into
the
streets.
Unless
we
make
these
investments,
there's
only
so
much
control
about
reliability
and
that.
A
I
I
think
the
reason
I
brought
that
up
is
because
we
have
we've
heard
from
our
board
that
they
really
want
us
to
take
the
take
the
commitment
for
capital
funding
for
design
and
for
actually
implementation,
construction
and
partner
with
the
cities
and
we'll
pay
for
that.
The
challenge
is
that
we're
not
going
to
pay
for
ongoing
maintenance
of
those
facilities,
so
we
need
to
work
with
partners
to
work
with
our
municipalities
to
figure
out
what
that
partnership
looks
like
well,
we've
but
they've
said
like.
I
A
I
know
my
colleagues
have
other
questions
so
I
guess
the
I
just
wanted
to
touch
on
maneet.
Did
you
have
any
comment
on
what
carol
was
saying
earlier
about
kind
of
the
inter
of
Transportation
Planning
with
other
city
agencies
as
we're
kind
of
doing
development
by
development?
Do
you
feel
that
there's
enough
staff
capacity
at
this
point
for
transit
and
transportation
always
to
be
part
of
each
of
these
kind
of
neighborhood
butters
meetings,
or
we.
G
G
The
we
work
hand
in
hand
with
the
BPD
a
on
each
and
every
development
project
do
to
make
sure
that
transportation
issues
are
comprehensively
addressed,
so,
whether
it's
in
how
the
development
is
designed,
particularly
for
common
for
pedestrian
safety,
for
buy
accommodation
for
bust
applications,
but
also
to
see
how
the
mitigation
package
can
advance
some
of
these
objectives.
So
but.
G
I
You
and
if
I
can
add
to
actually
to
give
BTD
and
BPA
a
lot
of
credit,
I.
Think
since
yeah,
when
I
got
here
about
a
year
ago,
we've
been
really
working
closely
hand-in-hand
with
them
on
anytime
there's
a
project
that
does
have
a
transit
impact
to
sort
of
reach
out
to
us
and
help
us
and
help
us
understand
what
those
impacts
could
be,
and
we
can
actually
provide
some
insight
of
what
some
of
the
changes
could
be
and
I.
I
Think
honestly,
from
our
perspective
there
anytime
that
there's
a
new
development
that
even
goes
pass
a
bus
route
rule-out.
We
love
to
just
sort
of
know
that
and
there's
a
lot
of
little
things
you
can
do
even
like
moving
shelters
or
moving
bus
stops
or
honestly,
it's
like
a
curb
corner.
Our
buses
turns
making
that
curb
just
a
little
less
less
sharp,
so
there
are
buses
can
make
it
turn
more
easy.
All
those
things
actually
do
impact
us
and
we'd
love
to
be
a
part
of
that,
but.
I
N
Thank
you
very
much
council
whoo,
just
picking
up
on
booth
a
lab.
So
it's
it's
it's
great
to
hear
that
you
know.
Obviously
it's
it
continues
to
be
a
priority
for
the
city
that
we're
gonna
go
into
a
planning
process.
I
wish
we
could
be
moving
faster,
so
we
could
do
something,
but
I
get
the
importance
of
engagement,
particularly
I'm,
blue,
the
lab
and
in
communities
that,
frankly,
just
don't
trust
us
trust
the
T
and
rightfully
so
frankly,
there's
a
lot
of
I'm,
not
gonna,
blame
community
for
that
previous
processes.
N
G
G
N
Push
just
say:
I
think
it
should
be
a
meeting
that
includes
not
just
elected
I
would
encourage
us
to
include
the
tea
and
thank
you
for
the
commentary
around
pushing
for
more
funding
for
these
other
quarters,
including
blue
labs.
So
clearly
the
tea
is
willing
to
give
us
money.
This
is
a
great
thing:
Thank
You
T.
We
need
the
money.
So
clearly
we
got
money.
N
We
have
people
who
are
doing
this
work,
including
the
DPD,
a
right
other
departments,
livable
streets,
so
many
organizations
are
going
into
blue
the
lab
wanting
to
do
outreach
or
investing
dollars
into
that.
You
have
obviously
elected
officials.
You
have
the
hospitals,
you
know
all
the
hospitals
Moscow,
all
these
other
organizations
that
putting
out
these
studies
about.
You
know
where
the
employee
is
coming
from.
How
can
they
get
involved
in
transportation
piece
because
it's
so
crucial
to
their
workers
right
to
actually
be
a
part
of
those
conversations?
And
so
there's
so
many
people?
N
We
could
bring
to
the
table
for
that
initial
meeting
to
design
this
process
together
and
to
include
more
players,
particularly
players
that
are
accessing
these
residents
in
different
spaces
right.
Some
of
these
residents
may
not
be
engaged
with
us
or
connected
to
us,
but
they
are
what
the
hospital's
they
are
with
their
employers.
So
I
think,
let's
talk
offline
about
how
we
actually
set
a
date
to
do
that,
maybe
by
the
end
of
March,
but
specifically
for
the
Blue
Hill
I
have
corner
absolutely
and
I.
N
Think
the
more
people
at
the
table
in
the
beginning
is
a
good
thing,
including
some
community
organizations
and
I.
Think
that's
where
we
sort
of
start
and
develop
a
process
together.
I
would
just
add
on
the
community
process
piece:
does
the
T
it
are
there
any
dollars
on
the
T
for
this
in
community
engagement,
piece
I
mean
obviously
you're
going
out
you're
doing
projects
so
key,
but
before
you
do
that
you're
going
through
the
community
process,
so
I'm
just
curious
what
your
engagement
teams
look
like
the
people
that
you
employ
to
do
this.
N
I
Specifically
for
this
project
we
actually
did
realize
the
community
engage
was
a
big
part
of
what
we
needed
to
do,
especially
for
the
success
of
trying
to
push
this
through
as
well
and
I.
Think
it's
actually
on
the
top
of
our
boards.
Mind
is
trying
to
understand
what
is
the
you
think
so
I
think
we've
been
actively
thinking
project-by-project.
What
does
a
community
process
need
to
look
like,
and
so
for
this
and
other
projects
we've
been
more
actually
engaging
the
community?
I
We
actually
do
have
a
customer
experience,
departments
kind
of
going
through
some
change
right
now
and
I
think
the
idea
is
the
change
that
actually
does
support
a
more
robust
community
engagement
process
and
trying
to
figure
out
what
is
the
best
way
to
reach
our
customers
and
what
are
the
tools
and
resources
to
do
that
and
what
is
really
our
messaging
to
the
customers?
And
what
do
we
want
to
hear
back
from
them?
I
N
Timely,
given
that
we
are
going
to
be
doing
a
community
process
on
book,
a
lab
to
be
working
with
you
guys
as
your
vamping,
your
customer
service
relations
departments
and
community
engagement
piece
as
we
come
to
the
table,
we
could
think
about
what
that
could
look
like
in
inform
it
informs
us,
and
we
can
inform
you
so
this
is.
This
is
great,
quick
question
around
another
route
that
was
brought
up
here,
but
also
that
came
up
in
different
meetings
in
is
Route
14.
N
So
we
have
the
new
Brook
high
school.
We
have
housing
new
housing
developments,
there's
a
lot
happening
over
there.
I
was
actually
just
at
the
brook
meeting
with
a
large
group
of
students
there
who
take
the
bus
all
the
time
and,
frankly,
why
I'm
engaged
with
the
tea
a
little
bit
more
in
the
customer
service
side.
Is.
It
was
shocking
to
me
that
none
of
those
students
who
take
the
bus
every
day
knew
that
the
tea
was
proposing
fare
hikes.
They
didn't
know
anything
about
the
proposal.
They
had
no
clue.
N
No
idea
so
tells
me
that
we
just
outreach
non-existent,
but
specifically
around
the
14.
There
were
complaints
about
the
service
being
cutback,
possibly
slow
delayed.
Some
of
the
students
complained
about
bus
drivers
actually
driving
past
certain
stops
on
the
route,
so
they'd
be
waiting
for
the
bus
and
it
wouldn't
stop
and
they
would
call
in
to
a
complaint
line.
N
Didn't
know
if
anything
happened.
So
I
have
two
questions
one.
Can
you
specifically
talk
about
the
route,
14
bus
and
then
the
complaint
sort
of
accountability
process?
If
you
have
students
and
people
actually
calling
and
saying
a
bus
driver
on
bus
number,
two
five,
six
just
drove
by
how
do
people
follow
up
with
them?
How
do
they
know
what
happened
with
their
complaint?
Where's,
the
accountability
piece
there
so.
H
I
I
As
far
as
your
can't
comment
about
complaints,
so
we
actually
do
every
day
in
my
email
and
a
lot
of
the
operation
staff
email,
we
actually
get
the
list
of
complaints
and
they
actually
do
identify
the
patterns
when
we
start
to
see
a
lot
of
complaints
happening,
and
so
it
is
actually
something
that's
discussed
in
operations
when
we
see
complaints
that
are
happening
sort
of
on
a
regular
basis.
So
we
do
follow
up
on
that
internally.
But
I
will
take
your
comment
back
and
actually
talk
with
operation
staff
about
engines.
N
Before
I
leave
here,
I'll
make
sure
we
exchanged
cards
and
things
because
not
just
for
the
Brooke
high
school,
the
housing
I
also
represent
a
pocket
of
Rosendale
and
residents
over.
There
have
been
complaining
for
years,
I
think
even
before
I
got
in
the
council
about
the
route
14
bus,
the
inadequate
service
there
and
how
we
do
better
and
I
think
they
would
be
shocked
that
the
route
14
bus
isn't
a
part
of
this.
In
some
way
this
is
American,
Legion,
Highway
and
so
I.
N
Just
it
goes
back
to
I
think
again
that
sort
of
equity
analysis
and
what
it
would
it
have
would
these
sort
of
would
this
have
looked
differently
if
that
lens
was
used
or
a
different
process,
and
so
I
will
make
sure
we
exchange
exchange
information
because
the
route
14
bus,
something
needs
to
be
done.
We'll
take
a
look.
Thank
you,
I
think.
That's
all
I
I
think
that's
it
counsel
will.
Thank
you
so
much.
Thank.
A
Are
there
plans
for
continued
improvements
there?
Okay,
I
see
so
they're
around
66
65,
any
other
signal
priority
plans
or
trying
to
think
about
whether
the
stops
make
sense
or
anything
else
around
that
dedicated
bus
lane
or
is
it
kind
of
you
know
when
something
is
established?
It's
moving
on
to
the
next.
I
So
I'll
take
a
stab
at
this,
so
we've
actually
been
in
a
conversation
with
BTD
about
is.
There
are
other
other
things
that
we
can
do
beyond
just
sort
of
painting
in
that
corridor
and
I
think
we
would.
We
would
welcome
the
opportunity
to
look
at
what
sort
of
the
bus
stops
locations
are
like
actually
approved
service,
also
like
a
transit
signal
priority
and
if
there's
any
additional
improvements,
such
as
sort
of
connecting
the
lane
fully
to
Forest
Hill
station.
So
we
welcome
that
conversation.
If
that's
a
possibility
and.
I
Think
that's
a
discussion
to
figure
out.
How
do
you
sort
that
out?
I
think
the
other
piece
to
add
too
is
I
mean
this
is
something
we
were
always
under
kind
of
considering
his
you
know.
We've
especially
rosin
does
a
good
example
we're
looking
at
like
inbound
service,
but
the
reality
is
there's
a
lot
of
outbound
needs
as
well,
so
I
think
thinking
into
the
future.
How
do
we
actually
accommodate
outbound
service
as
well?
I?
A
So
my
final
sort
of
thought
question
on
the
28
bus
in
Blue,
Hill,
Ave
corridor
and
I'm
thinking
that
we
should
I'm
gonna
invite.
Maybe
we
the
three
of
us
between
two
district
councillors
who
represent
either
end
and
we
partner
on
a
separate
hearing
just
on
that
bus
line,
because
I
think
the
opportunity
to
present
it
to
residents
as
rapid
fare
free
transit
would
make
a
big
difference
and
I've
talked
to
secretary
Pollock
years
ago.
At
this
point
about
opportunities
to
pick
certain
bus
lines
and
say:
could
we
pilot
fare
free
just
on
this?
A
We
know
it's
needed.
We
know
the
opportunities
it
would
open
up.
What
about
from
your
perspective,
what
about
the
service
impacts?
Do
you
think
that
is
there
and
do
you
have
the
data
to
even
begin
to
know
what
the
service
impacts
would
be
if
it
was
fair
free
on
that
route
with
a
dedicated
bus
lane,
I.
A
H
A
So
maybe,
let's
expand
the
question
a
little
bit
and
just
talk
about
service
levels
in
general,
because,
let's
see
I
had
in
my
notes
that
the
tea
has
you
know
we
talked
about
all
of
these
bus
routes,
176
bus
routes,
but
only
19
of
them
offer
frequent
all-day
service
right.
So
this
you
know,
176
sounds
like
a
lot,
but
when
you
actually
think
about
which
routes
can
you
use
to
get
around
regularly
reliably?
That
is
not
what
residents
need
it's,
not
the
level
that
residents
need
any
plans
for
actually
increasing
service
levels.
So.
H
That's
great
that
goes
back
to
our
presentation.
It
was
actually
I,
know.
Wes
said
two
weeks
ago.
It
feels
like
two
weeks
ago,
but
I
think
it
was
actually
just
this
Monday
on
investing
in
more
resources
which
would
be
additional
buses
and
ditional
operators
and
the
Reg
speaking
to
our
key
bus
routes
right
which
have
the
highest
frequency.
H
We
as
part
of
the
conversation
about
the
capital
investments.
We
also
had
a
conversation
about
additional
operating
investments,
which
would
be
included
in
our
fiscal
year
20
budget
conversation,
which
would
be
investing
in
additional
operators.
At
this
point,
as
we
don't,
our
biggest
constraint
is
number
of
buses,
and
so
we
would
not
be
able
currently,
as
it
stands
with
the
T,
we're
not
able
to
invest
an
additional
service
during
what
we
call
our
peak
hours
morning
and
afternoon.
H
But
we
did
ask
as
part
of
the
fiscal
year
20
budget
conversation
to
request
an
increase
in
additional
operators
who
we
did
invest
in
non
peak
hours
to
provide
additional
service,
it
would
be
to
I
think
bring
us
up
to
the
service
delivery
policy,
so
our
local
routes
that
are
the
key
bus
route
to
again,
not
the
same
level
of
frequency
and
I.
Think
in
the
appendix
of
this
presentation
we
talked
about
the
service
delivery,
receipt
policy
standards
and
try
to
get
us
up.
There.
I
think
the
conversation
of.
H
If
what
you're
asking
me
is,
how
do
we
create
essentially
new
key
bus
routes
with
the
same
which
essentially
had
that
very
high
frequency
I?
Think
that
be
an
additional
conversation
even
above
and
beyond
those
resources?
I
think
our
number
one
goal
right
now
is
to
ensure
that
we
can
even
meet
our
service
delivery
policy
before
we
try
to
even
exceed
it
since
currently
we're
not
even
meeting
that
I
also
most
anything
you
would
add
to
that.
H
J
A
H
The
mohit
Boston-
and
we
were
talking
about
before
and
we
would
show
you
had
brought
that
with
us
I
think
we'll
have
to
follow
up
an
email
with
a
list
of
which
specific
routes
that
would
be,
but
it
would
impact
40
different
routes
and
corridors
and
we'll
make
sure
to
follow
up
after
this
hearing
with
with
you
and
the
rest
of
the
council
with
a
list
of
those
reps.
Okay,.
A
So
just
so,
we
have
follow-up
if
I
could
get
make
sure
we
have
it
on
the
record
of
things
that
the
list,
so
we
had
a
request
earlier
for
the
on-time
data
broken
down
by
race
and
income,
we
had
a
request
for
consideration
of
how
the
equity
timelines
of
the
equity
analysis
could
better
overlap.
With
the
public
comment
period,
we
had
requests
for
where
the
14
miles
of
highest
need
investment
might
go
which
which
corridors
specifically
and
then
this
last
one
on
which
of
these
routes
need
to
be
brought
up
to
this
service
delivery
policy.
A
G
A
A
A
A
That
sounds
great,
so
we'll
get
drafting
and
then
we'll
loop
you
in
but
I
want
to
thank
our
panelists
you're
welcome
to
stay
or
or
we
actually
only
have
one
additional
member
of
the
public
signed
up
to
testify.
If
you
wanted
to
stick
around
and
listen
to
miss
Mello
miles
whom
I
believe
you
probably
all
know,
but
Miss
miles
feel
free
to
identify
yourself
and
your
address
and
give
your
two
minutes
of
testimony.
K
K
Also
I
am
we
brought
up
the
14
bus
for
a
reason,
the
greater
four
corners
Action
Coalition,
where
I
work
was
the
one
that
spearheaded
the
efforts
to
get
that
bus
route
to
actually
exist,
and
we're
really
concerned
about
the
way
that
the
tea
is
engaging,
engaging
people
to
have
input
on
whether
they
cut
service
to
that
line,
and
they
reduce
the
schedule
on
the
line
saying
it
was
due
to
lack
of
ridership.
So
was
only
running
about
once
an
hour,
but
the
way
that
the
that
the
TD
was
doing
the
customer
surveys.
K
Most
of
the
people
in
the
community
never
got
those
like
Ryder
census,
surveys
and
things,
and
they
were
online
and
things
like
that.
It's
so
I'm
concerned
about
that
level
of
community
engagement
and
also
on
a
better
bus
project.
The
I
had
put
in
a
recommendation
about
the
route
14
when
the
better
bus
project
started
and
I
went
to
an
open
house
and
I
I.
K
It
hasn't
happened
with
trying
to
work
with
the
T
now
to
make
sure
that
happens
even
after
the
station
opens,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
the
City
Council
would
actually
work
with
us
to
make
sure
that
Matapan
has
engaged
just
like
any
other
community,
that
the
MBTA
does
service
changes
in
or
add
service.
To
that
you
know
we
go
I've
gone
to
the
fiscal
management
control
board,
meeting
and
I've
heard
them
talking
about
new
service
that
was
coming
and
they
went
door-to-door.
They
went
out
and
they
had
events
out
in
the
community.
K
We
have
worked
so
hard
for
over
the
past
30
years
to
bring
that
service
to
the
community
and
then
there's
gonna
be
a
huge
problems
that
take
place
after
that,
because
we're
not
getting
people
to
understand
that
this
is
not
just
commuter
rail.
This
is
a
zone,
one
a
train,
that's
running
through
their
community
that
they
can
get
on
and
use
like
like
a
subway
that
has
a
subway
fare
so
that
more
people
will
be
able
to
utilize
the
investment,
the
267
million
dollar
investment
that
went
into
the
Fairmount
Line.
K
A
A
If
you
could
yeah,
if
you
could
add
that
to
our
list
as
number
six,
that
would
be
great
it
was
there
anyone
else
from
the
public
who
wishes
to
testify
feel
free
to
come
to
the
microphone
all
right.
Thank
you
all
so
much
for
being
here
and
for
your
time
this
will
conclude
our
hearing
on
docket
number
zero.
Three,
four
seven
order
for
hearing
regarding
the
MBTA's,
better
bus
project.
This
hearing
is
adjourned.
