Description
Docket #1074 - Hearing to discuss speeding cars as a public health emergency and address infrastructure improvements.
Docket #1040 - Hearing to discuss pedestrian safety, traffic enforcement, and vision zero.
A
Is
going
to
open,
and
so
let
me
just
start
that
process
now
and
hopefully
that
other
counselor
appears
for
the
record.
My
name
is
ricardo
arroyo,
the
boston
city
councilor
for
district
five,
I'm
the
chair
of
the
boston
city,
council,
community
on
public
health
and
I'm
joined
by
michelle
wu,
the
boston
city.
B
A
Large
and
the
chair
of
the
community
on
planning
transportation,
development
and
together
we
will
be
co-chairing
today's
joint
hearing.
I'm
also
joined
by
my
colleagues,
and
let
me
just
make
sure
I
go
through
this
list:
counselor
flynn,
councillor
flaherty,
president
janie
councillor
bach
councillor
wu
councillor,
braden
and
counselor
savvy
george.
A
This
public
hearing
is
being
recorded
in
live
stream
that
the
boston.gov
city
council
tv,
it
will
be
rebroadcast
on
xfinity
channel,
8,
rcn,
channel
82
and
verizon
files
channel
964..
We
will
take
public
testimony,
we're
going
to
actually
change
it.
It's
generally
at
the
end
of
this
hearing,
but
I
think
for
a
hearing
like
this,
it
might
be
better
to
hear
public
testimony
on
the
front
end,
and
so
after
the
counselors
open,
I
am
going
to
give
the
public
a
chance
to
testify.
A
If
you
wish
to
testify,
please
email,
shanepack
boston.gov,
please
state
your
name,
your
affiliation
and
residence,
and
limit
your
comments
to
no
more
than
two
minutes
and
because
we're
going
to
do
it
at
the
front
end
of
the
hearing.
I
am
going
to
be
strict
about
that
two
minutes.
You
may
also
submit
written
testimony
by
emailing
ccc.plan
dev
at
boston.gov.
A
Today's
hearing
is
on
docket
1074,
which
is
an
order
for
a
hearing
to
discuss
speeding
cars
of
the
public
health
emergency
and
address
infrastructure
improvements
in
docket
number
1040,
which
is
an
order
for
a
hearing
to
discuss
pedestrian
safety
traffic
enforcement
envision
zero.
We
expect-
and
I
believe,
are
here
actually
chris
osgood
who's,
the
chief
of
streets,
transportation,
sanitation,
greg,
rooney
who's
the
commissioner
for
the
boston
transportation
department.
A
We
also,
I
expect
to
have
brendan
kearney
the
deputy
director
at
walk,
boston,
kristiana
lachouza,
and
that
one
please
correct
me
as
well:
community
engagement
manager
at
liverpool,
streets
alliance
and
becca
wolfson,
the
executive
director
at
the
boston,
cyclist
union,
and
so
with
that
I'm
gonna
turn
to
counselor
wu.
Who
is
a
co-chair
because
we
are
two
different
committees
hearing
both
of
these
very
related.
Similarly
related
hearing
orders
together,
and
so
with
that,
I'm
going
to
turn
it
to
councilor
wu
and
then
council
wolf.
C
Thank
you
very
much,
mr
co-chair.
I
know
we're
all
quite
zoomed
out,
but
somehow
my
laptop
has
decided
that
it
is
fully
done
with
zoom.
So
I
don't
know
my
camera's
not
working,
and
it
presents
this
weird
icon
with
a
slash
through
the
camera,
so
I'm
very
grateful
to
counselor
royal
for
taking
the
lead
on
directing
the
traffic
here,
if
you
will,
because
I'm
also
having
these
technical
difficulties.
Just
thank
you
so
much
to
councillor
flynn
and
and
to
you
know
all
the
the
sponsors
all
my
colleagues
here.
C
So
I
know
we'll
see
a
lot
of
chief
oscar
this
week
as
well,
and
we
have
other
conversations
later
in
this
week,
but
thank
you
so
much
to
all
my
colleagues
here
for
for
taking
on
this
very
important
topic
and
making
sure
we're
still
making
progress
during
these
difficult
times.
Thank
you,
oh
and
I'll
turn
it
over.
I
think
that
my
cue
to
turn
over
to
counselor.
C
D
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Councillor,
wu
and
and
council
arroyo
for
chairing
this
joint
hearing
today
on
traffic
safety
in
discussing
speeding
cars
as
a
public
health
emergency.
I
also
want
to
thank
councillor.
Janie
council
president
cheney,
council
block
council
baker
for
being
the
co-sponsors
to
these
hearing
orders
as
well
to
the
panelists
for
being
here,
including
chief
osgood,
commissioner
rooney.
I
have
called
for
hearings
every
year.
D
I
have
been
on
the
council
on
pedestrian
safety
and
vision
zero,
including
advocating
for
20
mile
per
hour,
speed
limit
in
our
neighborhoods,
because
I
believe
it
is
one
of
the
most
critical
issues
we
face
in
boston.
Unfortunately,
we
have
witnessed
a
spike
in
serious
and
fatal
crashes
recently
in
south
boston
and
elsewhere
in
our
city.
It's
critical
that
we
continue
to
have
this
conversation
about
pedestrian
safety
and
truck
traffic,
calming
infrastructure
needed
to
make
our
streets
safer
for
all.
D
There
were
several
car
crashes
in
recent
weeks,
including
two
pedestrians
were
fatally
struck
by
vehicles
in
south
boston,
one
in
andrews
square
and
one
in
first
feet.
Another
pedestrian
was
struck
by
a
pickup
truck
at
the
entrance
of
the
public
garden
when
the
truck
crashed
into
a
stone
pillar
just
one
one.
Last
week
there
was
there
were
four
separate
incidents
where
cars
crashed
into
buildings
or
light
poles
in
south
boston.
D
I
will
go
over
the
intersections,
but
also
this
weekend
in
my
neighborhood
actually
on
my
street
two
two
doors
down
from
me
on
gold
street:
a
car
crashed
into
a
house
two
doors
down
from
me,
based
on
our
council
hearing
safety
walks
with
advocates
in
discussions
with
neighbors
in
civic
routes.
I
recently
recommended
an
updated
12-point
safety
plan
for
my
previous
proposal
to
the
city
to
help
address
some
of
some
of
the
issues
we're
witnessing
from
speeding
cars
cut
through
traffic
ride
shares
like
uber
and
lyft.
D
I
firmly
believe
that
we
need
to
continue
our
focus
on
infrastructure
improvements
to
our
built
environment,
to
force
cars,
to
slow
down
a
slower
speed
limit
in
our
residential
neighborhoods
and
consistent
enforcement
from
boston
police
on
speeding
cars.
I
think
it's
unconscionable
for
cars
to
be
speeding
through
our
neighborhoods
through
and
there's
no
reason
for
a
car
to
be
going
25
miles
anywhere
in
the
city
of
boston.
It's
too
fast.
It
is
also
my
position
that
now
is
the
time
to
call
for
speeding
cars
in
unsafe
roads.
What
they
actually
are.
D
It's
a
public
health
emergency
advocates
in
public
health
agencies
have
long
viewed
road
safety
as
a
public
health
issue,
as
do
I,
as
car
crashes,
are
one
of
the
leading
causes
of
death
and
injuries
in
the
nation.
In
fact,
the
world
health
organization
highlighted
road
safety.
As
a
public
health
issue,
new
york
state
department
identifies
motor
vehicle
traffic
as
a
major
public
health
concern
as
well.
D
So
I
hope
that
this
conversation
today
will
lead
us
on
a
path
where
we
can
continue
to
make
progress,
but
but
this
is
a
subject
we
all
know.
Well,
it's
a
subject:
that's
not
going
away.
We
have
to
stay
vigilant
on
all
of
these
issues
and
provide
the
safest
streets
and
sidewalks
possible,
especially
for
our
seniors
persons
with
disability.
We
see
a
lot
of
young
families
taking
their
children
and
grandchildren
to
school
all
the
time,
so
let's
continue
to
work
together
to
make
pedestrian
safety
improvements
throughout
every
neighborhood
of
the
city
of
boston.
D
A
E
E
I
want
to
thank
certainly
my
partners
on
this
councilor
flynn
and
councillor
bach,
and
certainly
I
would
give
a
shout
out
to
the
other
makers
on
the
other
docket
as
well,
and
a
huge
shout
out
to
the
advocates
in
this
space
so
want
to
thank
the
cyclists
union
want
to
thank
livable
streets,
walk
boston,
ace
for
all
of
their
work
on
the
front
lines,
certainly
those
who
are
joining
us
today
on
the
panel,
including
from
the
mayor's
office.
I
see
chief
osgood
and
his
folks.
E
So
thank
you
for
all
of
the
work
quick
story.
Last
week,
tragically,
a
friend
and
a
colleague
was,
was
struck
and
killed.
She
was
riding
a
bike.
This
is
a
long
time.
Many
of
you
may
know
her
a
long
time
educator
in
boston,
public
schools,
someone
who
I
was
able
to
work
closely
with,
particularly
in
my
time
at
mac,
and
it
just,
I
think,
underscores
the
importance
of
us
dealing
with
this
issue
and
making
sure
that
our
streets
are
safe.
E
A
F
G
G
The
other
issue
at
nelson
brighton.
We
have
recently
had
a
mobility
study
and
the
thing
about
a
mobility
study.
Is
they
do
they
speed?
They
do
speed
testing
along
some
of
our
residential
roads
and
there's
a
few
places
where
people
from
out
of
our
district
come
cutting
through
to
get
take
a
shortcut
to
work,
we're
doing
45
35
35
to
40
miles
an
hour
on
a
one-way
residential
street
through
our
neighborhood.
G
H
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
obviously
thank
the
co-chairs
for
co-hosts
for
co-hosting
and
also
the
lead
sponsor
for
his
work
in
the
space,
as
well
as
his
partnership
with
the
co-sponsors
and
other
colleagues.
This
is
an
enormously
important
issue
and
I'm
speaking
from
a
city-wide
perspective,
second,
to
housing,
issues,
public
safety,
pedestrian
safety
and
traffic
enforcement
and
infrastructure
improvements
are
among
the
top
things
that
you
know.
H
I
know
I
do
and
I'm
assuming
we
all
get
calls
from
in
emails
year
round,
not
just
in
light
of
a
tragic
or
fatal
accident.
So
thanks
to
the
partners
and
the
advocates
that
are
on
this
call
as
well,
our
community
members
know
the
dangerous
roads
and
intersections
in
their
neighborhoods.
They
call
an
email
about
them
all
the
time.
H
So
I'm
hoping
we
can
learn
more
about
the
mechanics
of
how
intersections
and
roadways
are
prioritized
for
improvements
as
part
of
this
hearing,
but
I
also
want
to
use
this
opportunity
to
renew
my
call
that
the
boston
police
department
establish
a
bona
fide
traffic
division
in
each
police
district
and
that
have
it
staffed
on
every
shift.
The
problem
we
have
is
that
cars
are
traveling
too
fast.
H
It's
like
the
wild
wild
west
out
there
too
many
accidents
too
many
injuries,
obviously
we're
seeing
our
insurance
rates
spike
because
of
the
accidents
that
happen
in
in
our
city,
streets
in
or
on
the
expressways
that
cut
through
our
city.
But,
more
importantly,
there's
no
enforcement
happening
at
a
grand
scale
and
that's
what
we
need.
You
could
lower
the
speed
limit
to
5
miles
an
hour,
but
if
you're
not
going
to
enforce
it,
no
one's
going
to
pay
attention
to
it.
So
again,
you
know
it's
not
sexy
stuff,
it's
it's!
H
That
would
go
a
long
way
in
making
our
streets
safer,
so
we
can
only
beat
up
the
transportation
department
so
much
with
respect
to
sort
of
roadways
and
intersections,
etc.
But
if
we're
not
enforcing
the
laws
and
btd
doesn't
get
to
enforce
the
laws,
our
media
maids
don't
get
to
enforce
the
laws
they
get
you
they
can
ticket
you
for
for
a
meter,
violation
or
crosswalk
or
handicap
ramp
or
hydrant.
But
more
importantly,
the
real
enforcement
is
going
to
be
our
police
department
and
we
need
them
at
the
table
here.
H
A
I
I
Lately,
counselor
flynn
has
detailed
some.
Obviously
we
had
a
car
take
out
a
section
of
fence
in
the
public
garden
just
this
weekend
after
the
incident
that
that
hit
a
pedestrian
a
few
weeks
back.
So
I
think
you
know
we're
obviously
in
a
moment
of
particularly
dangerous
speeding,
but
I
I'll
just
say
that
the
the
things
that
I'm
most
interested
in
addressing
today
are:
what
are
the
systems
fixes
where
we
can
go
beyond.
J
I
thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
thank
you
to
the
lead
sponsors
for
today,
and
certainly
a
conversation
needs
to
be
had
and
continues
to
need
to
be
had
around
pedestrian
safety,
but
thinking
about
our
roadways,
our
infrastructure,
around
our
roadways.
As
with
a
multimodal
perspective
for
sure
when
we
think
about
all
of
the
the
traffic,
both
pedestrian
vehicle,
bicycle
public
transportation.
All
that
needs
to
be.
J
We
have
to
think
about
the
complexity
of
that
system,
and
how
do
we
make
sure
that
it
continues
to
work
and
works
better
for
our
residents
across
the
city
and
for
those
coming
and
going
in
our
city
also
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
thinking
about
the
impact
of
different
apps,
whether
it's
the
the
road,
the
use
of
the
roadway,
is
now
thinking
about
uber
thinking
about
ways.
Thinking
about
those
transportation
methods.
Thinking
about
how
we
can
encourage
or
disincentivize
blocking
the
box.
J
How
do
we
make
sure
that
what
intersections
aren't
blocked
because
it
does
create
safer
passage
for
pedestrians
and
bicyclists,
but
also
it
creates
more
better
flow
of
traffic,
vehicular
traffic
and
then
always-
and
I
will
always
talk
about
ray's
crosswalks,
making
sure
that
we
have
more
of
those,
especially
where
our
most
vulnerable
travel
and
cross
thinking
about
playgrounds,
elementary
schools,
senior
centers
and
also
the
impacts
that
has
on
slowing
traffic,
which
is
something
that
we're
looking
to
do
today.
So
I'm
looking
forward
to
today's
hearing
and
testimony
from
the
public
as
well.
K
Just
recently,
the
teacher-
or,
I
should
say,
former
principal
of
young
achievers
jenny
lived
in
my
district.
She
was
amazing.
We
all
loved
her
think
about
it
right.
She
was
retired
and
celebrating
her
life
and
just
going
for
a
bike
ride
and
is
struck
down
and
killed,
and
so
it's
really
tragic
that
people
continue
to
die.
I
think
we
all
know
that
we
have
to
increase
the
pace
in
which
we're
doing
things.
K
I
want
to
thank
the
slow
streaks
team,
the
folks
at
vision,
zero,
who
are
in
my
district
every
single
day
implementing
the
plans
for
structural
changes
to
our
streets
and
doing
it
in
partnership
with
the
residents
and
the
advocates
really
important
work.
But
our
timeline
is,
we
just
have
to
speed
it
up.
I
mean
right
now
my
street
is
being
repaved
and
I'm
out
there
looking
at
them
wondering
you
know
why?
Don't
we
have
speed,
speed
humps,
because
we
know
this
is
a
dangerous
street,
and
so
enforcement
is
critically
important
to
this
conversation.
K
We've
done
some
creative
work
with
bpd,
including
a
traffic
analyst
and
prioritizing
enforcement,
and
have
made
some
headways
there.
There's
still
some
work
to
do
clearly
lowering
the
speed
limits,
but
structural
changes
is
critically
important
and
we
have
to
move
this
along
quicker.
I
can't
keep
stressing
that
enough.
Other
things,
I
think,
are
really
important
is
looking
at
other
departments
playing
a
role
too.
K
And
lastly,
I'll
just
add
that
you
know
the
advocates
the
residents.
Everyone
has
mobilized
in
tremendous
ways.
We
know
we
have
to
do.
We
have
examples
and
models,
it's
just
a
matter
of
doing
it
and
setting
aside
the
resources
in
human
capital
to
get
it
done.
So
I'm
going
to
keep
pushing
that.
Thank
you
again
to
everyone
from
the
administration
for
being
here.
Thank
you
to
the
advocates,
thank
you
to
my
residents
as
well,
who
continue
to
be
advocates
on
the
ground
and
thank
you
to
the
the
sponsors.
Thank
you.
Council
royal.
L
Hi,
yes
good
afternoon,
thank
you
to
the
sponsors
for
hosting
this
public
hearing
order.
I
agree.
I
think
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
the
conversation
and,
more
importantly,
is
that
what
we
do
with
what
we
know
when
we,
when
we
talk
about
travel
on
how
to
travel
across
our
city,
we
need
to
prioritize
safety.
L
L
So
I
think
that
it's
important
for
us
to
really
think
about
the
intersection
of
this
conversation,
as
it
relates
to
what
a
lot
of
communities
are
dealing
with
right
now
in
these
streets.
So
I
just
want
to
offer
that
as
something
for
us
to
consider
as
we
continue
to
talk
about
how
we
design
streets.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
councillor
mejia.
I
do
want
to
note
before
we
proceed
that
the
bosnian
police
department
was
not
invited
to
speak
as
a
panelist,
so
it's
not
a
matter
of
them
choosing
not
to
be
here.
They
were
not
on
the
list
of
panelists
suggested
by
the
sponsors,
and
so
I
do
want
to
make
sure
that
that's
clear
very
briefly
before
we
head
into
the
panels,
I
do
want
to
give
the
community
a
chance
to
speak.
A
Normally
we
wait
all
the
way
until
the
end,
but
I
do
believe
this
is
an
appropriate
time
to
have
them.
Speak,
I'm
going
to
be
incredibly
stringent
on
the
two
minutes.
So
when
you
hear
my
voice,
consider
that
you
got
10
seconds
wrap
up
whatever.
That
sentence
is
because
I
don't
really
want
to
mute
you
or
boot
you,
but
I
will
so
that
we
could
continue
with
our
hearing.
A
A
M
I'm
unmuting
there.
You
are
fantastic
great.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
speak,
and
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
the
council
is
taking
up
this
very
important
issue.
Safety
on
the
streets
can't
be
understated.
We
need
more
of
it.
My
main
point
in
speaking
to
you
is
to
is
to
plead
that
the
city
be
consistent
in
having
every
effort
support
street
safety,
one
of
the
things
that
my
organization,
the
alliance
of
downtown
civic
organizations
or
adco,
the
eighth
largest
nine
largest
neighborhood
associations
in
the
downtown
area.
M
One
of
the
things
we
have
been
very
concerned
about
is
the
increase
in
proliferation
of
distractions
that
are
making
drivers
drive
a
lot
worse.
Obviously
we
all
know
cell
phones
and
there's
been
some
legislation
to
affect
that.
But
electronic
billboards
are
a
very,
very
dangerous
distraction
that
is
actually
increasing
in
the
city
of
boston.
M
In
addition,
there
are
large
electronic
format
billboards
on
things
like
the
w,
where
it's
really
hard
to
just
to
pick
out
crossing
pedestrians
and,
very
importantly,
there
are
two
huge
building
side,
electronic
billboards
being
proposed
in
december,
one
in
front
of
the
zba
in
chinatown
at
stuart
at
harrison
and
another
one
on
causeway
street.
If
we
put
these
things
in,
we
might
as
well
increase
the
speed
limit
to
60
because
we
are
cr.
We
are
inviting
distraction
and
we're
inviting
pedestrian
mishap.
M
A
N
N
Some
of
the
time
that
includes
every
elected
city,
councilor
and
especially
our
mayor,
there's
just
no,
no
matter
what
we
tell
you,
there's
no
replacement
for
first-hand
experience,
walking,
biking
and
taking
the
tea
in
our
city
and
that's
how
a
lot
of
bostonians
live
every
day,
and
I
really
would
like
to
see
every
elected
official
do
the
same.
So
they
can
experience
how
we
live
every
day.
N
Another
note
the
state
really
must
overhaul
the
process
of
driver's
licenses.
It's
frankly
absolutely
ridiculous.
How
easy
it
is
to
get
a
driver's
license
and
to
maintain
it.
It's
no
effort.
We
need
a
real
driving
test
that
actually
tests
people
of
people's
ability
to
drive
safely,
and
I
would
really
like
to
see
the
city
push
the
state
to
do
that,
because
our
current
driver's
license
test
is
frankly
a
joke
and
I
think
most
people
could
pass
it
heavily.
N
Intoxicated
to
be
honest
additionally,
redesigning
every
street
in
boston
to
be
safe
is
the
ideal,
but
it's
not
feasible.
I
know
the
street.
I
live
on
edwin
street,
it's
a
tiny
residential
street
between
florida,
street
and
dorchester
ave,
and
we
have
cars,
speeding
down
the
road
all
the
time
and
I
think
that's
every
street
in
boston.
You
could
probably
ask
anyone
and
they'll
say
the
same
thing
about
their
street
and
we
can't
redesign
every
street,
so
we
just
need
to
get
unsafe
drivers
off
the
road
before
they
ever
get
on
the
road.
N
Finally,
I
really
want
to
call
out
that
people
in
dorchester
have
no
safe
way
to
bike
into
the
city.
It
just
does
not
exist.
So
if
we're
going
to
prioritize
safety,
we
really
need
to
look
at
the
biggest
neighborhood
in
boston
and
that's
dorchester.
Over
a
hundred
thousand
people
live
in
dorchester
and
we
simply
don't
have
a
safe
way
to
bike
into
the
city
in
a
long
walk.
The
city
knows
that
dorchester
avenue
is
a
high
crash
street.
The
mayor
lives
right
off
of
dorchester
avenue,
does
not
bike
to
work.
N
N
A
few
seconds
a
few
months
ago,
someone
was
killed
right
at
ashmont
station
so
and
nothing's
been
done
to
make
that
area
safer.
I'm
really.
The
last
point
I
want
to
make
is:
why
is
the
dot
greenway
taking
so
long?
If
we're
prioritizing
walking
and
biking
safety,
that's
taken
over
a
decade
to
get
done?
Thank
you.
O
Hi,
so
oh
man
that
picture's
got
to
go
sorry
floor
is
yours?
Don't
worry
about
the
photo
all
right,
so
just
a
couple
of
comments
both
on
my
own
behalf
as
a
resident
of
roslindale,
and
also
for
walk
up
rosendale,
a
community
group
in
the
neighborhood
dedicated
to
making
roslindale
the
most
walkable
neighborhood
in
boston
councilor
buck.
I
would
support
what
counselor
me.
O
I
would
also
like
to
note-
and
I
appreciate
everyone
so
far-
referring
to
crashes,
not
accidents,
but
I
think
it's
important
in
our
language
talking
about
these
issues
to
always
emphasize
that
we're
talking
about
drivers
and
not
vehicles,
so
vehicles
don't
jump,
curbs
they
don't
crash
into
buildings.
They
don't
kill
people,
people
behind
the
wheels
of
those
vehicles,
kill
people,
so
we
should
always
refer
to
drivers.
Not
vehicles,
not
cars,
not
trucks.
O
Two
two
quick
points
I
think.
First,
I
would
say
it's
obvious
now
that
the
neighborhood
slow
streets
program
needs
to
be
scrapped
and
we
need
to
turn
it
into
an
immediate
city-wide
program
in
every
neighborhood
for
every
street.
Every
part
of
the
city
every
resident
knows
how
dangerous
our
streets
are
from
speeding,
traffic
and
drivers.
We
need
to
do
a
lot
better.
We
need
to
do
a
lot
better.
A
lot
faster
and
making
neighborhoods
can
compete
against
each
other
for
limited
resources
for
street
safety
is,
is
a
crazy
idea.
O
O
Note
a
little
bit
coming
back
to
the
comment
before
I
don't
think
anybody
in
it
who's
in
an
advocacy
position
in
our
city
at
this
point
is
advocating
for
widespread
police
enforcement
of
traffic.
I
think
what
we
want
to
have
is
police,
focusing
on
the
most
dangerous
drivers
in
a
data-driven
way.
I
don't
want
to
see
a
lot
more
police
flooding
our
streets
trying
to
pull
people
over
for
speeding
infractions,
other
sort
of
routine
things.
O
A
Q
Q
We
have
a
lot
of
experience
with
living
along
one
of
the
most
dangerous
corridors
in
the
city
with
the
highest
among
the
highest
crash
rates.
We
also
have
the
wonderful
experience
of
very
very
recent
traffic
calming
infrastructure
that
is
starting
to
be
installed
along
american
legion,
and
so
we
can.
We
really
note
the
difference.
Q
We
all
feel
we
all
it's
very
noticeable
to
talk
about
fatalities
and
injuries
and
they're
awful
they're.
Absolutely
awful,
but
there's
there's
other
very,
very
widespread
damage
that
goes
on
when
people
who
live
in
a
community,
don't
don't
don't
even
take
the
risk,
so
they
don't.
You
know
so
many
people
who
live
in
all
the
pocket,
neighborhoods
and
and
and
go
to
school
and
go
to
the
the
parks
on
american
along
american
legion
gave
up
gave
up
on
walking,
gave
up
on
biking.
Q
Parents
have
testified
that
they
won't
let
their
kids
walk
two
blocks
to
their
friend's
house,
no
matter
how
old
they
are.
I
think
many
of
us
when
we
were
growing
up.
You
know
what
are
our
childhood
memories
right
going
to
visit,
friends
that
are
in
walking
distance,
getting
on
our
bikes
and-
and
you
know,
being
told
we'll
just
come
back.
You
know
by
dark.
We
have
been
isolated.
Q
A
B
Thank
you,
councillor,
orrio,
I'd
like
to
speak
in
support
of
what
ford
calavalari
was
saying
about
the
potentially
very
dangerous
role
that
electronic
billboards
may
play,
and
this
is
something
which
can
be
stopped
before
it
gets
going
and
it
lies
within
the
power
of
the
city
to
stop
it.
We've
noticed,
for
example,
that
the
bpda
has
filed
a
zoning
amendment
which
has
so
far
been
deferred,
but
would,
at
some
point
come
before
the
zoning
commission
that
will
make
it
easier,
facilitate
people's
ability
to
make
applications
for
installing
or
converting
existing
billboards
into
digital
billboards.
B
I've
noticed
that
these
applications
basically
are
being
filed
by
a
few
well-known
companies
which
can
make
a
lot
of
money
off
them
and
they
claim
that
they
offer
community
benefits.
Well.
On
that
basis,
you
can
try
to
get
any
kind
of
undesirable
activity
installed
in
a
neighborhood,
claiming
that
it
will
give
you
community
benefits,
but
there's
a
lot
of
evidence
from
many
places
around
the
world
which
indicate
that
the
operation
of
these
electronic
billboards
not
only
cause
light
pollution
and
are
regarded
as
very
unpleasant
by
residents.
B
As
I
said,
this
is
up
to
the
city.
The
city
can
stop.
This
can
preempt
it
before
it
gets
going,
and
I
really
hope
that
they
will
both
by
getting
the
bpda
to
change
its
decision
and
the
bpa.
Ironically,
a
few
years
ago,
particularly
mentioned
referred
to
the
dangers
and
unpleasantness
of
electronic
of
electronic
billboards.
They're
only
permitted
for
now
in
a
few
very
small
districts
within
the
city
and
the
great
majority
of
locations
are
in
the
city.
They
are
forbidden
use
and
they
should
remain
forbidden.
B
R
Hi
everyone
I'm
from
jamaica,
plain
arbor
way
coalition
we've
been
trying
for
decades
to
get
some
traffic
calming
it's
a
dcr
road,
but
it's
in
the
city
of
boston
and
dcr
is
actually
working
on
it.
Currently,
the
what
makes
cities
comfortable
and
pleasant
to
be
in
is
not
the
ability
to
drive
from
point
a
to
point
b
as
fast
as
possible.
R
In
my
opinion,
but
over
the
years
it
seems,
like
that's,
been
the
driving
principle.
Pun
intended
that
there's
almost
a
fear
of
upsetting
the
motorists.
So
when
there's
a
street
being
redesigned,
it's
like
you
have
to
account
for
the
motorist.
First,
you
have
to
account
for
parking
and
then
pedestrians
and
bicyclists
seem
to
and
trees
and
anything
else
has
to
compete
for
space,
and
we
get
into
a
psychology
that
if
someone
even
hesitates
for
a
moment,
they
get
honked
at
the
aggression
is
just
really
not
conducive
to
people
being
out
there.
R
I
applaud
who
anyone
before
me,
who
talked
about
self
enforcing
you
can
put.
We
have
25
mile
per
hour,
speed
limits
that
doesn't
make
anyone
drive
25
miles
per
hour.
The
physical
changes
are,
what
will
make
it
happen
that
people
drive
the
speed
that
you
want
them
to
drive
streets
can
accommodate
motorists,
I'm
not
anti-car.
R
R
S
S
We
make
the
following
group
of
suggestions
that
we
believe
can
help
to
reduce
the
safety
issues
that
are
in
the
subject
of
this
hearing
one
we
improv.
We
would
like
to
improve
enforcement
regarding
the
prevalence
of
loud
and
speeding
packs
of
motorcycles,
motorbikes
and
cars
that
often
circulate
throughout
the
back
bay
and
downhill
areas
at
night,
especially
on
commonwealth.
They
have
boylston
street
beacon
street
and
cross
streets
in
the
neighborhood.
S
Bicyclists
should
be
strongly
encouraged,
if
not
required,
to
use
the
bicycle
names
that
have
been
installed
throughout
the
neighborhood
for
consider.
Reducing
the
speed
limit
on
com
after
20
miles
per
hour,
consider
features
to
slow
down
traffic
and
finally,
petition
the
commonwealth
to
allow
traffic
cameras
with
enforcement
in
the
downtown
regions
and
intersections
along
major
roadways
to
a
police
and
achieving
traffic
enforcement.
S
T
Okay,
thank
you
thank
you,
but
I
live
along
east
in
eastern
rosedale
along
american
legion
highway
and
I'm
the
other
co-chair
of
the
mount
hope,
kenneburr
neighborhood
association.
At
least
I
did
not
compare
speeches
so
now
I'm
going
to
have
to
kind
of
edit
as
I
on
the
run.
We
a
couple
other
facts
about
our
american
legion
highway
is
that,
for
instance,
in
the
last
summer,
over
a
30-day
period,
there
were
29
car
crashes
recorded
many
with
injuries.
T
T
This
has
been
her
main
project
for
six
years,
hundreds
of
emails,
dozens
and
dozens
of
dozens
of
meetings
with
counselors
with
city
officials,
elected,
unelected
appointed,
making
alliances
with
other
neighborhood
groups
working
with
wonderful
groups
like
livable
streets,
some
individuals
from
walk
up,
boston,
walk
up,
roslindale
working
with
our
neighbors,
getting
a
tremendous
amount
of
work.
Unfortunately,
at
this
point,
that
is
what
this
is
gonna
take,
and
I
I
want
to
give
thanks
to
the
mayor
and
the
former
mayor
would
not
even
talk
about
speed
humps.
T
The
point
I
want
to
make
is
there
is
money.
At
the
same
time,
we've
noticed
the
northern
avenue
bridge
is
slated
to
rebuilt
with
85
million
dollars
of
city
monday.
Money
understand
the
importance
of
the
seaport
district
to
the
health
of
boston's
financial
health,
but
I
would
suggest
that
until
all
the
highly
unsafe
roadways,
particularly
that
boston's
historically
underserved
areas
until
they're
made
safe
that
this
bridge
replacement
be
put
on
hold.
F
Very
good,
my
name
is
john
buxton,
I'm
a
board
member
at
the
fenway
civic
association
and
a
representative
to
the
alliance
for
downtown
civic
organizations.
I
have
two
points
to
make
one
the
fenway
civic
association
has
requested
traffic
calming
particularly
on
hemingway
street,
a
notorious
speeder's
place
from
the
traffic
calming
grants,
but
never
gets
one
because
we
don't
have
schools
or
libraries
in
our
in
our
district
and
it's
just
as
important
for
us
as
it
is
for
another
district,
but
we
don't
get
the
points.
F
F
A
Thank
you,
mr
boxton,
and
if
anybody
else
would
like
to
give
a
comment,
we'll
do
it
after
the
first
panel.
So
at
this
point
I'm
going
to
ship
to
the
administration's
panel.
If
you
haven't
spoken
yet
you'd
like
to
speak
after
the
administration
speaks,
raise
your
blue
hand,
you'll
go
after
the
counselors
and
just
to
reintroduce
our
administration,
so
that
they
can
then
go
into
their
presentation.
We're
joined
here
by
chief
chris
osgood
who's,
the
chief
of
streets,
transportation,
sanitation,
commissioner,
greg
rooney
who's.
A
The
commissioner
at
the
boston
transportation
department,
mary
bovenzi,
who's,
the
director
of
chronic
disease
prevention
and
control,
division
at
the
boston,
public,
health,
commission
and
viniq
gupta,
the
director
of
policy
and
planning
at
the
boston
transportation
department,
and
with
that
the
floor
is
yours.
I
believe
we
can
start
with
chief
osgood
counselor.
U
Thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you
all
the
counselors
for
convening
this
and
for
your
leadership
on
this.
I
really
appreciate
all
of
your
efforts
and
really
appreciate
the
panelists
that
spoke
before,
as
well
as
knowing
the
panel
so
they're
gonna
come
after
the
wise
words
and
good
thoughts
that
are
coming
from
them.
As
councilor
royal
said,
I'm
chris
osgood,
I
have
the
honor
of
serving
as
mayor
walsh's
chief
of
streets.
U
The
other
folks
from
the
administration
who
are
on
this
panel
include
our
btd
commissioner,
greg
rooney,
vinnie
gupta,
our
director
of
transportation
planning
and
policy
and
murray
mavenzi
who's,
the
bphd's
director
of
chronic
disease
prevention
and
control.
In
a
moment,
I'm
gonna
just
run
through
some
quick
slides.
So
if
I
can
be
able
to
share
some
slides,
that
would
be
great
before
I
do,
and
just
thinking
of
the
comments
that
I
think
were
raised
by
both
the
council
president
and
councilor
campbell.
U
Obviously,
there
are
as
well
as
council
braden,
there's
a
number
of
reasons
why
you
know
that
are
that
are
fresh
in
memory
of
why
it
is
so
important
that
we
dedicate
ourselves
to
this
cause.
It
was
two
weekends
ago
that
was
world
day
of
remembrance.
That
is
a
worldwide
global
moment
for
all
of
us
to
remember
those
who
lost
their
lives
or
had
serious
injuries
on
our
streets
as
councillor
braden
reflected.
U
It
was
last
weekend
that
we
rededicated
a
ghost
bike
on
commonwealth
avenue,
st
paul's
to
in
in
memory
of
chris
weigel.
This
work
is
incredibly
important
and
I
know
that
it's
important
to
all
of
us
and
that
we're
all
focused
on
doing
it
together,
mayor
walsh,
has
a
a
commitment
of
being
a
vision,
zero
city,
a
city
that
eliminates
all
roadway
fatalities
and
serious
injuries
from
our
streets.
I'm
going
to
quickly
walk
through
kind
of
the
four
major
strategies
that
we
use
in
in
pursuing
this
critical
goal.
U
For
all
of
us,
one
is
focused
on
our
main
roads.
Really.
Those
places
that
are
high
crash
quarters
across
the
city
of
boston,
second,
is
building
out
our
strategic
bike
network
third
is
talking
about
our
work
in
clusters
of
neighborhood
streets,
called
the
neighborhood
slow
streets
program
and
the
fourth.
It's
a
set
of
work.
U
That's
about
really
the
targeted
interventions
in
some
ways
related
to
john's
last
comment
about
streets
that
may
not
be
part
of
the
neighborhood
slow
streets
program,
but
we
know
that
we
need
to
be
doing
work
on
so
just
to
quickly
walk
through
that
work.
This
here
on
the
left
is
familiar
to.
Many
of
you
is
what
we
call
the
high
crash
network
in
the
city
of
boston.
We
have
mapped
all
of
the
serious
crashes
and
fatalities
on
boston
streets.
U
V
U
U
Melania
cass
boulevard,
which
is
on
this
network
as
well
just
to
dive
in
quickly
on
three
of
the
projects
which
have
moved
forward
over
the
course
of
this
year.
One
is
columbus
ave,
essentially
from
the
eggleston
square
library,
at
the
southern
end,
all
the
way
up
to
jackson
square
at
the
northern
end.
This
is
being
redesigned
with
really
a
couple
of
priorities
in
mind.
U
So
as
part
of
this
project
that
is
under
construction
right
now,
there's
a
number
of
treatments
which
are
really
designed
to
improve
pedestrian
safety
in
this
corridor
and
will
complement
some
other
work
focused
within
eagles
square,
the
square
itself
to
redesign
that
section,
in
addition
to
work
on
columbus
ave,
the
american
region,
highway
work
and
the
commons
highway.
Work
are
really
critically
important.
American
mission
highway
and
lisa
and
rick
have
been
really
incredible,
advocates
and
champions,
as
have
many
of
the
other
folks
on
this.
U
U
One
of
the
key
concerns
of
residents
along
this
corridor
has
been
speeding
and
one
of
the
things
which
we
have
done
as
a
result
of
that
is
piloted
over
the
course
of
this
year.
The
intervention
of
going
from
in
most
stretches
a
four-lane
road
down
to
a
two-lane
road.
We
have
documented
sort
of
the
change
in
speed.
You
see
in
the
lower
right-hand
corner
of
this
slide,
where
we
had
over
a
third
of
drivers
documented
in
2018
traveling
above
35
miles
per
hour
after
this
intervention.
U
After
reducing
the
number
of
travel
lanes
on
major
stretches
of
cummins
highway,
a
significant
reduction
in
the
instance
of
speeding
in
this
corridor.
This
sort
of
approach
has
actually
been
used
in
a
bunch
of
places
not
just
to
sort
of
calm
speeds
and
improve
pedestrian
safety,
but
also
to
build
out
our
strategic
pipe
network.
As
folks
know,
and
it's
incredibly
visible
as
part
of
our
connect
downtown
effort.
U
So
we
have
reduced
the
number
of
the
crossings
in
the
travel
lanes
on
tremont
street
and
on
the
roads
around
the
public
garden,
as
well
as
on
other
sections
of
of
the
network,
such
as
state
street
adjacent
to
boston,
city
hall
and
court
street.
All
this
is
done
with
that
same
sort
of
idea
of
how
do
we
calm,
speeds,
reduce
crashes
and,
consequently
save
lives
on
our
streets.
U
The
focus
of
this
project
is
also,
in
part,
obviously
about
building
out
that
hub
of
our
overall
bike
network.
This
is
a
forms,
a
connection
for
downtown
residents
and
residents
from
across
the
region
to
be
able
to
access
jobs,
hospitals
and
open
space
and
connect
to
things
like
our
connect,
historic
boston,
bike
network,
the
esplanade
and
eventually
the
southwest
corridor.
As
part
of
our
work
on
american
nation
highway
and
cummins
highway.
U
We
have
also
been
able
to
obviously
add
protected
bike
infrastructure,
which
is
really
allowing
sort
of
better
connections
in
this
case,
combined
between
matapan
square
and
american
legion
highway
and
through
american
legion
highway,
all
the
way
up
to
franklin
park
to
the
southwest
corridor
and
beyond.
In
total.
These
three
projects
are
adding
about
six
and
a
half
new
miles
of
protected
bike
lanes
to
our
network.
U
In
addition
to
the
strategic
bike
network
and
the
work
on
our
major
corridors
is
also
the
work
around
our
neighborhood
slow
street
program.
This
is
a
program
which
is
really
targeted
towards
clusters
of
neighborhoods
or
clusters
of
residential
blocks
that
have
a
couple
of
key
attributes,
really
think
about
how
we
prioritize,
where
we
want
to
be
investing
first
in
traffic
coming
on
residential
streets.
These
are
sets
of
blocks
in
our
city
that
have
high
numbers
of
seniors.
U
High
number
of
youth
high
numbers
of
persons
with
disabilities
are
also
places
that
have
a
high
number
of
crashes,
both
within
the
area
and
on
the
surrounding
streets,
as
well
as
a
high
number
of
community
destinations,
things
like
parks
and
schools,
community,
centers,
etc.
These
are
the
15
hours
or
16
they're
listed
I'll.
Get
to
that
in
a
moment.
These
are
the
15
places
that
we
are
investing
in
first
and
and
really
to
to
matt.
Lawler's
point
think
that
this
is
not
at
all
the
end,
but
simply
the
start.
U
There's
a
16th
in
here
as
well,
which
is
a
really
a
collaboration
between
the
boston,
public
health,
commission,
the
boston
public
schools
and
the
boston
transportation
department,
and
that's
the
area
that
is
focused
on
walmart
and
humboldt
ave
and
is
a
been
able
to
move
forward
through
a
980
000
safer
to
school,
grant,
essentially
being
treated.
Similarly
as
the
rest
of
the
neighborhood
slow
streets
program
in
terms
of
the
the
interventions
and
treatments
that
we're
pursuing.
U
That
may
not
be
on
the
strategic
bike
network
and
that
are
not
currently
part
of
a
neighborhood
snow
street
area,
but
that
are
in
need
of
safety
interventions,
and
here
has
been
a
place
where
the
mayor
and
the
council
together
supported
additional
funding
for
the
boston
transportation
department
and
others
to
be
able
to
expand
our
toolkit
and
be
able
to
accelerate
our
work
in
this
area.
So,
a
couple
of
years
ago
we
started
adding
radar,
speed
feedback
signs
to
our
streets.
U
We
now
have
over
100
that
are
have
been
deployed
and
we
just
put
out
a
purchase
for
another
40
radar,
speed
feedback
signs.
We
are
looking
at
sort
of
the
faster
implementation
of
things
like
like
speed,
humps
on
our
streets
as
well
as
new
and
improves,
or
our
changes
in
the
way
in
which
key
intersections
and
crossings
work.
As
you
see
sort
of
in
the
middle
of
this
panel
and
as
I
think,
councilor
bach
referenced
in
her
opening
comments.
U
T
U
You
see
what
is
the
latest
deployment
that
we
are
trying,
which
is
a
set
of
essentially
tactical
rumble
strips
that
have
been
put
out
by
the
boston
transportation
department
on
conway
street
in
roslindale,
with
the
idea
that
this
seeing
if
this
is
a
positive
thing
to
be
able
to
add
to
our
toolkit
of
things
like
flex,
post
radar,
speed,
feedback,
science,
feed,
humps,
etc,
all
to
be
able
to
calm
speeds
and
and
reduce
crashes
on
streets.
This
work
overall,
obviously
is
not
just
about
one
program.
U
U
Of
of
eliminating
crashes
and
fatalities
on
our
roads,
we
look
forward
to
working
together,
as
we
have
already
with
advocates
and
with
the
council
and
with
our
our
sister
agencies,
and
so
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
mary,
mary
bevensie.
Who
will
talk
about
the
boss,
public
health
commission's
great
work
on
this
and
then
look
forward
to
your
questions.
W
W
From
the
perspective
of
chronic
disease
prevention,
we
want
to
encourage
people
to
be
more
active
to
bike
and
walk
instead
of
drive
for
better
health.
At
the
same
time,
from
an
injury
prevention
standpoint,
we
need
to
provide
conditions
that
make
such
physical
activity
safe
and
accessible
for
everyone.
W
W
to
prevent
chronic
disease.
People
need
opportunities
to
live
a
healthy
lifestyle
which
include,
among
other
things,
participating
in
adequate
physical
activity.
Unfortunately,
our
modern
environment
is
not
often
supportive
of
healthy
habits
and
encourages
sedentary
behavior,
as
we
all
sit
here
all
day
on
zoom
calls
a
healthier
environment
can
support
an
individual's
choice
to
walk
or
bike
instead
of
drive,
so
changing
the
environment
to
promote
healthier,
behaviors
and
protect
vulnerable
road
users
requires
strategic
vision
and
planning.
W
This
work
includes
neighborhood
slow
streets
which
chief
oscar
just
talked
about,
and
the
neighborhood
slow
streets
incorporates
public
health
into
its
work
by
taking
an
active
living
by
design
approach,
and
this
is
an
evidence-based
framework
to
create
safer
environments
for
human-centered
movement
in
partnership
with
bps.
We
lead
the
boston,
safe
routes
to
school
program
which
works
across
city
departments
to
promote
and
encourage
safe
and
active
transportation
to
school.
W
The
program
continues:
our
focus
on
vulnerable
road
users
by
teaching
school
age,
children,
pedestrian
safety,
engaging
with
school
communities
and
making
road
to
safety
infrastructure
improvements
in
the
boston,
public,
health,
commission
and
boston
ems
also
participate
in
the
city's
vision.
Zero
initiative
vision,
zero's
goal
is
to
bring
the
number
of
traffic
deaths
and
serious
injuries
to
zero
by
2030..
W
We
know
that
speed,
limit
reductions,
infrastructure
improvements,
education
and
proper
traffic
enforcement
will
lead
to
many
saved
lives.
These
life-saving
measures
will
not
only
reduce
the
severity
of
crashes,
but
also
have
the
potential
to
lower
the
actual
number
of
crashes.
We
cannot
understate
the
importance
of
data
in
approaching
this
public
health
challenge
in
boston.
We
are
fortunate
to
have
boston
ems,
responding
to
motor
vehicle
crashes
when
there
are
reported
injuries
because
of
this
boston.
Ems
is
able
to
provide
accurate
data
around
the
time
and
location
of
bike
and
pedestrian
crashes.
W
Our
data-driven
collaboration
with
btd
and
other
city
partners
has
been
effective
in
reducing
incidents
in
closing
we'd
like
to
thank
the
committee
for
the
opportunity
to
testify
today
and
for
taking
a
public
health
approach
to
pedestrian
safety,
and
we
look
forward
to
hearing
from
others.
Thank
you
and
I
think,
I'm
not
sure
who
I'm
passing
it
to.
U
A
I
see
a
head
nod
from
vineet,
commissioner
rooney.
If
there's
anything
you'd
like
to
add,
please
feel
free.
Otherwise,
I'm
going
to
go
directly
into
questions
from
the
council.
I
see
you
unmuted,
commissioner
rooney,
I'm
not
sure
if
you
wanted
to
just
take
questions
or
if
you
wanted
to
make
a
statement.
I'm.
P
A
Thank
you
so
much
one
one
point
before
I
head
into
the
council:
there's
a
attendee
whose
name
is
not
listed
as
their
name
for
speaking.
If
you
do
not
have
your
actual
name
as
your
zoom
name,
then
I
won't
actually
be
able
to
give
you
public
comment
time.
So
please
change
that
and
with
that,
I'm
gonna
go
to
the
co-sponsors
first,
and
so
that
would
be
councillor
flynn,
followed
by
president
janey,
followed
by
councilor
bach.
D
I
highlighted
in
my
opening
statement
and
in
my
hearing
order
that
pedestrian
safety
and
this
discussion
should
be
a
public
health
issue
should
be
a
public
health
emergency
if
it
was
to
quit
a
public
health
emergency,
what
assistance
would
public
health
department
and
btd
in
the
police?
Would
it
offer
them
any
other
alternatives
that
we
can't
do
right
now.
U
Let
mary
sort
of
perhaps
best
talk
about
the
specific
authorities
that
a
public
health
declaration
could
provide,
but
I
will
say
with
great
credit
to
the
council
and
the
mayor,
there's
a
huge
number
of
resources
which
we
are
now
equipped
with,
which
we've
never
had
before.
So
it
was
counselor
offline
and
it
was
your
leadership
and
obviously
collaboration
and
counselor
baker
and
the
entire
city
council
to
help
us
lower
the
speed
limit
as
a
default
to
25
miles
per
hour
and
you've
been
able
to
increase
significantly
the
city's
investment
in
safety.
U
By
supporting
the
mayor's
request
for
doing
things
like
adjusting
our
parking
fines
so
that
we
could
allocate
more
funding
both
on
the
capital
and
operating
side
and
be
able
to
increase
the
amount
of
staff
who
are
focused
on
planning
engineering
and
design,
work
and
construction
work
on
our
streets.
So
there's
been
a
huge
amount
of
work.
We've
already
been
able
to
do
because
of
the
the
authorities
that
that
the
mayor
and
the
council
have
already
provided
us.
L
W
Just
to
jump
in
so
the
conditions
for
kind
of
a
public
health
emergency
are,
are
legal
really
and
it's
it's
set
in
state
law
and
is
typically
rooted
in
infectious
disease
or
disaster
relief.
So
just
for
for
context,
the
only
public
health
emergency
that
bphc
has
ever
declared
is
the
current
coven
19
pandemic
emergency.
W
So
beyond
that,
I
can't
really
speak
to
like
the
legality
of
it,
but
I
can
say
kind
of
to
echo
what
chris
was
saying.
This
has
been
a
public
health
priority
for
years
for
bphc
and
we'll
continue
to
look
at
this
through
a
public
health
and
a
health
equity
lens
importantly,
and
we're
not
at
zero.
There's
obviously
work
to
be
done
and
we
look
forward
to
continuing
to
work
with
partner
with
the
council
and
the
city
agencies
on.
D
It
thank
you.
Thank
you
mary.
I
know
this
is
an
issue
with
we've
talked
about
before
chief
concurrent
traffic
signals
where
cars
and
pedestrians
have
to
have
the
right-of-way
both
at
the
same
time.
I
know
again,
we've
talked
about
this
many
times.
It's
a
big
concern
of
mine.
It's
a
big
concern
for
my
constituents
in
the
fort
point
in
the
south
boston,
waterfront
area.
D
I
just
think
we're
asking
for.
Well,
let
me
let
me
stop
there.
I
think
if
a
car
and
a
pedestrian
both
have
the
right-of-way
at
the
sun
at
the
same
time,
going
in
the
same
direction,
I
think
it's
a
real
public
health
emergency.
I
think
it's
a
public
safety
issue.
What's
the
latest
on
on
this
issue,
chief.
U
Counselor,
thank
you
for
your
the
question
and
for
your
consistent
advocacy
around
around
pedestrian
safety.
This
is
obviously
an
issue
that
that
you
have
raised,
and
it
is
in
part
one
of
the
reasons
why
we've
engaged
a
design
consultant
who's
working
with
us.
Looking
at
a
number
of
our
intersections
again,
in
particular,
looking
at
some
of
the
high
crash
intersections
or
intersections
that
are
part
of
the
high
crash
network.
U
Those
include
a
set
of
intersections
on
mass
ave
as
well
as
on
as
well
as
andrew
square,
and
we
are
going
through
the
process
of
looking
at
those
intersections
and
from
that
figuring
out
are
there?
Are
there
more
systematic
changes
that
we
need
to
be
making
with
our
overall
sort
of
network
of
traffic
signals,
how
we
prioritize
their
retiming
and
when
we
retime
them
the
the
sorts
of
retiring
patterns
that
we
put
into
place
that
works
happening
over
the
course
this
winter
happy
to
keep
you
updated,
as
that
work
goes
forward.
D
U
E
Thank
you
so
much,
and
many
thanks
again
to
chief
osgood
commissioner
rooney,
the
entire
team
here,
and
certainly
my
colleagues
for
keeping
this
a
huge
priority
for
the
council.
I
know
it's
a
priority
for
the
city
as
well.
I'm
curious
my
good
friend
and
colleague,
councillor
flynn
has
been
advocating
for
quite
some
time
around
speed
limits
in
our
city,
and
I
know
that
city-wide,
it's
25..
E
I
think
councillor
bach
and
I
are
the
two
counselors
with
the
distinction
of
not
owning
cars
and
doing
a
lot
of
our
travel
on
foot
and
on
the
tee.
When
I
am
in
a
car,
I've
noticed,
and
just
this
weekend
I
was
driving
a
car,
and
I
noticed
I
was
on.
I
don't
know
if
it
was
mass
ave
or
albany
street,
but
I
found
myself
going
about
and
I'm
going
to
admit
it.
I
went
over
the
speed
limit.
I
was
going
about
30
32
and
then
I
checked
myself
to
say.
E
Oh,
my
goodness,
let
me
slow
down,
but
my
point
here
is
that
30
felt
okay
on
that
big
corridor
and
25
often
feels
much
too
fast
on
smaller
residential
streets
like
my
street.
So
my
street
is
a
cut
through
street
and
it's
good
to
see
that
my
neighborhood
is
now
in
the
slow
streets,
and
I
have
some
other
questions
for
that.
So
I
wonder:
where
are
we
in
our
city
in
terms
of
trying
to
slow
down?
E
Like
I
really
think
on
my
street,
I
try
to
drive
around
15
because
it's
so
narrow,
it's
a
one-way
street.
I've
got
cars
on
both
sides
and
I've
got
a
playground,
so
I
never
want
somebody
coming
in
in
and
out
of
those
cars.
So
in
my
mind
my
street
should
be
slower,
but
perhaps
a
major
corridor
like
albany
street
or
american
legion,
or
one
of
these
others
might
be
slightly
faster
because
I
agree,
I
think,
we're
all
going
way
too
fast
in
our
city.
U
A
great
question
so
really,
when
we're
redesigning
all
of
the
neighborhood
slow
streets,
so
in
in
your
district
highland
park,
the
humble
warren
ave
area,
mount
pleasant,
mortal
street,
etc.
All
of
those
are
being
redesigned
for
20
miles
per
hour
and
greg
monique
rem
wrong
will
be
posted
at
20
miles
per
hour.
In
addition
to
that,
obviously
things
like
school
zones
etc
are,
are
posted
and
signed
at
20
miles
per
hour.
U
E
And
on
the
slow
streets
point-
and
I
I've
been
a
big
fan,
but
I
think
the
frustration
that
I
have
is
the
frustration
that
residents
have
it's
it's.
How
do
you
get
into
the
queue?
Is
it
still
the
squeaky
wheel,
what
criteria
they're
finding
out
about
it?
After
the
fact,
too
few
resources
are
going
into
it
so
too
few
neighborhoods
can
really
take
advantage
of
it.
I'd
like
to
see
us
get
beyond
an
application
process
where
we're
putting
all
the
onus
on
our
residents.
E
I
love
that
residents
are
engaged
in
helping
us
solve
these.
You
know
problems,
but
I
want
us
to
be
much
more
proactive
around
slowing
down
or
finding
these
areas,
for
example
the
complete
streets
project
in
nubian
square
over
by
the
library
I
just
mentioned.
I
was
driving
a
car
the
other
day
when
I
get
up
to
the
boys
and
girls
club
like
I
automatically
I'm
forced
to
slow
down,
and
so
it's
working
whatever
you're
doing
over.
E
There
is
causing
cars
to
slow
down,
as
they
should
right
there
at
that
boys
and
girls
club,
and
then
it
opens
up
a
little
more
more
widely.
I
I
want
us
to
get
beyond,
though
this
application
process
and
that
we're
just
planning
a
better
way
as
we're
talking
about
planning
and
pedestrian
safety.
I
didn't
hear
it
in
the
presentation,
but
I
am
much
more
interested
in
how
we
get
so
anubian
square.
For
example,
cars
are
always
going
through
those
yellow
lights,
which
makes
it
hard
for
pedestrians
to
cross.
E
E
E
So
that's
one
question:
where
are
we
with
that?
And
then
I
have
a
lot
of
district,
specific
questions
which
I'm
happy
to
wait
for
a
second
round,
but
I
am
very
interested.
Let
me
get
this
last
question
on
the
on
the
floor
in
that
map
that
you
showed
with
all
the
crashes
it's
hard
for
me
to
see
it
on
my
zoom
screen.
E
If
you
wouldn't
mind
kind
of
talking
through
what
types
of
crashes
where
they
it
looked
like,
they
were
obviously
in
the
much
more
dense
areas
where
me
flynn
and
bach,
our
districts
are
where
you
looked
at
the
southern
part
of
the
city-
and
I
don't
know
you
know,
is
that
because
of
how
our
streets
are
designed,
is
that
because
they're,
just
more
people
and
more
cars
like
what?
Why
are
the
crashes
concentrated
in
certain
sections
and
then
what
types
of
crashes?
E
U
U
So
and
commissioner
mary
feel
free
to
jump
in
as
well,
so
on
neighborhood
slow
streets.
I
think
there's
sort
of
two
things
that
I
want
to
sort
of
in
some
ways:
split.
One
is
how
we
prioritize
where
we
should
be
doing
our
work,
and
the
second
is
like
sort
of
the
selection
process
so
to
speak.
I
I
do
think
that
we
are.
You
know.
We've
certainly
heard
the
feedback,
and
we
were
thinking
about
what
how
we
would
probably
how
we
would
identify
the
next
places
to
move.
U
We've
heard
that
feedback,
obviously
matt
lawler
referenced
that
as
well
in
his
opening
comments
for
that
feedback
from
the
council.
It's
really
something
which
we
want
to
think
through,
as
as
we
think
about
how
this
program
expands
and
how
we
accelerate
its
implementation
in
some
ways,
similar
to
counselor
campbell's
point
about
the
resurfacing
of
our
street
right
now.
I
do
think
that
the
prioritization
sort
of
scheme
of
the
sort
of
the
rubric
that
we
use
for
neighborhood
slow
streets
of
prioritizing
those
places
where
we
have
the
most
number
of
vulnerable
road
users.
U
Rectangular,
rapid,
flash
beacons
are
a
major
part
of
our
toolkit,
they're
used
both
in
the
sort
of
neighborhood
slow
streets
program,
but
also
in
our
targeted
interventions.
I
can
see
unless
commissioner
rooney
or
me
romero,
you
guys
know
on
top
of
your
heads.
We
can
get
back
to
you
about
how
many
we
have
deployed,
but
that
is
something
which
we
are.
We
are
looking
to
expand
and
then
I
will
put
into
we
can
email
to
the
council
and
I'm
not
sure
if
there's
a
chat
option
on
on
this
progression
platform.
U
I
I
I
wonder
if
we
could
think
about
shifting
what
the
default
is
there
and
in
general,
would
just
love
to
hear
from
you
a
bit
about
the
signals
policy
and
how
you
guys
might
be
taking
a
look
at
it.
I
just
think
that
you
know
I
think
that
many
of
us
distribute
counselors.
We
draw
your
attention
to
intersection
after
intersection,
but
the
more
that
we
could
shift
our
signalization
policies
in
general.
I
I
think
in
favor
of
you
know,
giving
pedestrians
a
head
start
at
crosswalks
right
and
increasing
the
generosity
of
the
time
and
just
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
we
can
do
in
addition
to
sort
of
creating
the
four-way
crossings
that
counselor
flynn
alluded
to.
That,
I
think,
would
help
across
the
board
and
would
love
to
hear
what
you're
thinking
on
that
front.
I
I
A
second
question
is,
I
think,
I'm
sure
this
is
true
for
every
counselor
and
we
just
have
enormous
issues
with
waze
right
now
right
and
the
fact
that
people,
the
secret
cut-throughs
that
only
your
locals,
knew,
are
now
available
to
everybody
with
an
app-
and
I
mean
there's
a
kind
of
you
know
to
some
extent
it's
hard
because
there's
no
way
we
can
make
that
information
secretive
again.
So
then
it
becomes.
I
How
do
we
actually
like
change
the
streets
themselves
to
discourage
that-
and
I
know
in
a
few
places,
we're
literally
thinking
about
that
right,
like
changing
the
direction
of
a
street
or
doing
something
else,
drastic
to
cut
down?
And
so
one
question
I
have
is
how
we
can
be
more
systematic
about
that
about
thinking
about
places
that
just
don't
work
anymore,
because
the
cut
through
traffic
has
become
dangerous
and
whether
there's
a
more
systematic
way
to
look
at
those.
I
That's
about
kind
of
trying
to
trying
to
drive
all
but
local
car
traffic
to
the
edges
around
a
neighborhood
and
then
have
just
local
traffic,
and
I
know
we've
talked
about
congestion
charging
and
it's
never
something
that
we
seem
to
have
the
sort
of
power
to
get
through
at
a
state
level
and
it's
a
obviously
a
longer
conversation
at
the
city
level.
But
I
just
wonder
if
we
should
be
thinking
radically
about
kind
of
like
local
traffic,
only
zones
in
some
of
our
neighborhoods,
because
of
the
way
that
waze
has
just
changed
the
landscape.
I
So
that's
my
sort
of
provocative
question
on
that
and
the
third
one
would
just
be
if
you
could
speak
to
us
on
when
it
comes
to,
I
mean
you've
heard
loud
and
clear.
Fenway
is
not
the
only
neighborhood
I
have.
That
has
been
unable
to
acquire
slow
streets
designation
in
part
because
of
the
lack
of
schools,
which
I
think
it's
very
hard
for
people
to
hear
that
public
infrastructure
they
wish
they
had
in
their
neighborhood
is
the
reason
why
they
can't
have
other
public
infrastructure
improvements.
I
I
I
see
you
guys
sort
of
talking
about
deploying
these
speed
bumps
raised.
Crosswalks
rumble
strips
narrowing
right,
like
bump
outs,
all
these
sort
of
this
set
of
tools
more
tactically
and
more
widely
across
the
city,
and
I
wonder
how
you're
thinking
about
and
how
we
and
the
council
should
think
about
what
your
sort
of
what
your
kind
of
system
for
fielding
those
requests
and
running
through
them
is
because
it
seems
like
right
now.
We've
got
a
three
on
one
system
for
fielding.
I
This
is
broken,
fix-it
requests
and
we've
got
this
slow
streets
like
hey.
Could
we
get
some
people
really
thinking
about
how
to
transform
a
whole
thing?
I
think
there
are
a
number
of
places
where
people
have
a
good
intuition
like
hey.
This
would
be
a
great
place
for
a
raised
crosswalk,
or
this
would
be
a
great
place
for
a
speed
bump,
and
it
feels
right
now,
like
that
kind
of
falls
between
the
silos,
and
I
would
love
to
know
from
a
process
perspective.
I
U
Those
are
three
great
three
great
questions,
commissioner,
video
feel
free
to
feel
free
to
jump
in
as
well
on
the
civilization
side,
so
we
have
roughly
850
in
our
in
our
city
and
what
our
collaboration
between
the
btd
planning
team
and
the
btd
engineering
team.
This
person
has
been
leading
vision,
zero
on
venice
team
and
a
person.
A
single
engineer
within
btv
they've
been
looking
at
essentially
the
subset
of
intersections,
where
they've
had
the
most
crashes
in
unique,
correct.
U
As
that
work
continues
on
the
ways
question,
I
think
I
wrote
down
your
three
the
wrong
way.
Oh,
never
mind
got
it
right,
all
right.
So
on
the
underway's
question,
I
think
that
this
is
it's
a.
It
is
a
very
important
really
correctly
provocative
question.
I
think
we
do
want
to
think
about
how
we
work
with
navigation
apps
in
a
in
a
different
different
way.
U
I
do
think
that,
right
now
we
are
doing
this
a
little
bit
more
on
the
sort
of
recognizing
the
problem
and
responding
to
it.
Then
thinking
about
how
we
can
respond
to
it
more
systematically,
and
I
so
I
appreciate
your
your
your
question.
Some
of
those
interventions
as
council
brandon
is
familiar
with
and,
as
you
referenced
is
thinking
about
sort
of
the
directionality
of
streets
as
a
way
of
getting
at
this.
Some.
U
Your
third
piece,
your
third
question
of,
is
basically
we're
taking
all
the
three-on-one
requests.
Requests
we've
received
from
the
council
and
thinking
about
with
funding
which
is
allocated
in
this
fy21
budget
going
through
and
with
more
of
those
that
targeted
work
essentially
going
more
rapidly
through
the
sort
of
intervention
that
we
were
doing
at
isabella
and
arlington
and
other
intersections
throughout
the
throughout
the
city
of
boston.
V
I
thought
that
was
a
good
summary.
I
think
on
that
last
piece,
that
we
are
staffing
up
and
funding
up
on
kind
of
doing
those
tactical
interventions
that
are,
in
addition
to
the
slow
streets
program
and
then
the
systematic
kind
of
planning
and
design
around
the
corridors
that
have
had
the
most
injuries
in
the
past.
V
G
G
So
you
know
that
that
area
is
really
crying
out
for
some
serious
intervention
in
regard
to
slow
streets
and
and
even
more
so
because
it
is
an
area
where
we
have
a
high
number
of
residents
who
are
elderly
and
folks
with
disabilities.
So
we
did
do
a
walk
out
there
with
the
walk
boston
group
and
when
we
took
speed
we
took
speed,
readings
and
everything,
and
it
was
really
shocking
to
me.
G
There
was
a
police
detail
right
there,
but
some
drivers
were
managing
managing
to
get
up
to
40
miles
an
hour
within
within
you
know,
seconds
of
passing
a
police
detail.
It
was
really
shocking
and
the
other
question
I
have
is
with
regard
to
waze.
You
know
when
you're
on
your
telephone
and
you
go
to
try
and
make
a
phone
a
phone
call
when
you're
in
your
car.
It
tells
you
you're
driving.
G
I
know
that
the
the
the
mobility
study
has
drawn
up
a
large
number
of
recommendations
that
will
be
addressed
over
over
a
period
of
time,
obviously
because
it
can't
all
be
done
at
once,
and
some
of
them
will
be
related
to
the
I-90
project,
which
is
about
15
years
out
out
ahead
of
us.
So
it
just
in
terms
of
I
realize
that
every
district
is
in
the
same
position.
We're
all
asking
for
changes,
and
a
lot
of
this
is
aspirational.
G
We
want
these
changes
to
make
our
roads
safer,
but
I
also
have
a
question
for
you
guys.
You
know
this.
This
seems
to
be.
We
need
to
maybe
put
more
money
in
the
budget
to
help
address
these
things,
and
I
know
you
folks
are
probably
going
to
be
coming
to
ask,
but
you
know,
in
terms
of
balance,
in
terms
of
really
making
some
of
these
happen,
these
things
happen.
We
might
actually
need
to
put
our
money
where
our
mouth
is
and
and
start
to
put
some
more
money
into
the
situation.
G
So
we
can
get
so
we
really
can
make
our
streets
safer.
That
might
be
a
question
for
madam
chair
of
the
ways
and
means
committee,
but
yeah.
Those
are
really
my
comments
and
questions.
You
know
ways
ways
is,
is
really
causing
havoc
out
here
to
the
point
that
some
some
residents
are
taking
the
law
into
their
own
hands
and
creating
little
roadblocks
and
doing
mischief
to
try
and
stop
it.
U
If
it's
not,
I
imagine
that
we
can
actually
get
that
if
you're
addressing
that
piece,
but
it
is,
it
is
mapped
and
is
charted
on
on
the
city's
website
again
happy
to
share
that
link
afterwards,
and
that
is
data
that
is
pulled
from
ems
on
waze.
We
do
have
a
partnership
with
them.
They
actually
there's
a
sort
of
a
consortium
of
cities
that
they
work
with.
U
I
think
I'm
very
glad
you
raised
that,
because
it
is
sort
of
a
whole
to
counselor
box
point
sort
of
another
way
in
which
we
are
identifying
these
spot
interventions
and,
as
you
mentioned
in
the
ab
mobility
study,
we
have
documented
a
whole
set
of
those
and
we'll
be
working
on
those
over
the
course
of
of
the
next
year.
It's
those
studies
coming
out
of
the
bpda,
which
is
also
driven
things
like
the
changes
that
are
coming
to
eggleston
square,
the
community
process.
That's
happening
there
to
some
degree.
U
V
Just
wanted
to
add
on
that
last
piece
that,
for
example,
constantly
bread
and
we
we've
met
with
the
bpda
team-
that
in
fact
we
were
involved
from
the
very
beginning
with
the
austin
brighton
mobility
plan,
but
more
recently,
now
that
we've
collectively
finalized
the
recommendations
we
sat
down
as
a
team.
You
know
our
engineering,
our
planning,
folks,
people
at
public
works
with
the
bpda
planners
and
we've
prioritized
all
those
recommendations.
V
V
V
L
Yes,
thank
you.
So
I
do
have
a
few
questions
just
curious.
How
do
constituents
currently
report
problem
area
intersections
and
crossings?
What
does
the
city
work?
How
does
the
city
work
with
constituents
to
design
streets
that
are
safer
for
pedestrians,
like
I'd
love,
to
know
what
your
engagement
process
looks
like
and
if
a
pedestrian
is
injured
or
killed
as
a
result
of
poor
designing
on
behalf
of
the
city?
U
Right,
I
could
start
up
and
then
counselor
appreciate.
I
appreciate
those
questions
again.
If
I
miss
someone,
please
feel
free
to
to.
Let
me
know
so
the
principal
way
that
we
hear
from
constituents
about
requests
to
make
interventions
on
the
street
is
through
through
on
one,
whether
that
is
through
the
website
by
people
calling
the
24
hour
hotline
or
through
the
mobile
app
and
letting
us
know.
That
way.
To
your
point,
though,
that
is
one
of
many
channels.
U
Some
of
it
is
about
physical
changes
on
our
streets
and
making
them
in
a
pilot
fashion,
so
I
think
of
cummins
highway,
so
cummins
highway.
The
stretch
that
has
with
it
has
been
in
the
capital
budget
as
part
of
the
the
overall
redesign
and
reconstruction
of
cummins
highway.
There
had
been
a
public
conversation
about
what
would
happen
if
that
goes
from
four
lanes
to
two.
U
We,
you
know,
we
physically
tried
it
out,
first
with
waterfield
jersey,
barriers
and
now
with
paint
and
flex
posts,
and
that
is
giving
us
a
chance
to
be
able
to
pilot
something
physically
on
the
street
and
then
get
feedback
from
residents
as
part
of
that
process,
which
will
inform
the
actual
then
reconstruction
of
cummins,
highway
and
and
allow
residents
and
road
users
along
that
boulevard.
To
give
us
even
even
more
feedback.
U
In
addition
to
kind
of
those
physical
changes
on
the
street
that
we've
been
trying
out
again
with
with
a
lot
of
credit
to
a
lot
of
different
folks,
has
been
sort
of
greater
efforts
in
all
of
our
outreach
to
make
sure
that
we
are
running
community
meetings
in
multiple
languages
that
we
are
doing,
flyers
in
multiple
languages
that
we
are
presenting.
Physical
changes
on
our
streets
in
in
ways
that
that
are
simply
more
accessible.
U
So
if
you
check
out,
for
example,
the
connect
downtown
work,
the
pedestrian
and
bike
infrastructure
and
road
safety
work,
which
was
done
around
city
hall,
the
public
garden
and
the
boston
common.
That
is
in
many
ways
designed
best
to
be
viewed
on
on
a
phone,
and
it
is
available
in
three
different
languages
with
again
with
credit
to
tiffany's
team
there.
So
we
are
very
much
thinking
about
kind
of
how
do
we
actually
broaden
the
oh
sorry,
counseling
yeah.
L
And
so
it's
good
to
know
that
you
guys
are
testing
things
out
so
that
when
they
call
to
complain,
I'm
like
well
they're
testing
things
out
to
see
how
you
all
are
going
to
react.
So
if
you
don't,
you
see,
call
and
and
participate
in
the
process,
but
it
doesn't
seem
like
it's
a
done
deal
for
a
lot
of
people.
It
seems
like
it
was
so.
Can
I
get
some
clarity
around
that?
L
U
So
I
appreciate
sort
of
the
course
correction
or
correction
on
on
that
in
many
ways.
There's
there
was
a
lot
of
outreach,
but
we've
also
accounts
for
similar
to
you
heard
a
lot
of
feedback
from
from
residents
both
in
support
and
with
concerns
about
about
what
is
out
there
right
now.
This
is
the
design
that
is
being
being
tested.
We
had
sort
of
identified,
as
our
is
our
preferred
design
for
that
quarter.
U
U
Obviously
zoom
sessions,
flyering
mailing
to
residents
up
and
down
the
corridor,
and
we
have
you
know
every
interest
in
being
able
to
figure
out
if
how
to
refine
those
practices
to
be
able
to
address
exactly
what
you
raised,
which
people
feeling
like
they
were.
They
were
unaware
of
what
was
coming,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we,
that
is
not
what
people
feel
they're
sort
of
well
aware
of
the
process
going
forward.
Yeah.
L
And
I
think
the
other
piece
of
it
in
terms
of
community
engagement.
That
would
be
helpful
too.
Is
that
there's
enough
ample
ample
notice
when
there's
gonna
be
disruption
on
a
particular
street,
because
what
we're
hearing
is
that
things
are
just
popping
up
and
then
a
lot
of
sudden.
You
have
to
find
another
detour
to
get
somewhere
because
they're
redesigning
an
entire
speed
hump,
nobody
even
knew
about
it.
L
So
if
there's
ways
for
us
to
be
able
to
communicate
to
people
multiple
times,
because
you
know
not
everyone's
going
to
check
their
emails,
not
everyone
is
going
to
be
on
social
media.
Not
everyone
opens
up.
I
mean
you're
going
to
have
to
try
multiple
ways
of
touching
communities,
because
one
way
or
another
that
information
will
hit
them.
So
even
if
it's
putting
a
psa
out,
you
know.
I
just
think
that
the
more
people
can
engage
the
better.
L
U
Great,
I
appreciate
the
question
there
too.
So
there's
two
different
elements:
there,
one
is
with
the
mayor's
equity
procurement
practices,
which
the
executive
order
which
he
is
put
for,
which
is
specifically
around
how
we
contract
in
the
city
for
whether
it's
designers
or
construction
companies,
engagement,
specialists,
etc.
That
is
sort
of
a
a
part
of
the
way
in
which
the
transportation
development,
public
works
department
and
every
city
agency
now
works.
U
I
do
think,
there's
also
opportunities
to
think
about
specific
engagement
for
stakeholders,
long
quarters,
so
to
the
extent
that
there
are
businesses
or
business
groups
that
you
want
us
to
make
sure
that
we
are
connected
with
by
all
means.
Let
me
know
I'm
very
happy
to
make
sure
that
we're
making
those
connections.
V
Just
to
add
to
that,
we
are
in
in
the
way
that
we
redesign
our
streets.
We
are
proactively
reaching
out
to
groups
using
multiple
languages
that
we
feel
have
traditionally
not
been
included
in
the
past
and
so
whether
it's
going
to
latinx
communities
in
east
boston
or
whether
it's
trying
to
get
to
every
business.
That's
on
on
blue
hill
avenue,
we
are
we're
really
doing
a
huge
effort
on
the
ground
to
engage
local
communities.
V
D
L
So
I
think
that
really
extending
beyond
the
usual
suspects
to
include
them
in
the
process
is
really
important,
and
the
last
thing
that
I
will
offer
is
that,
in
terms
of
your
outreach,
is
really
thinking
about
non-traditional
folks
right.
So
not
everything
has
to
just
be
around
livable
streets
if
you're
looking
at
you
know,
housing
advocates
they're
the
ones
who
are
also
trying
to
figure
out
from
a
planning
design
space,
even
people
who
are
working
in
the
public
health
space.
L
I
think
that
your
partners,
I
I
think
you
have
an
opportunity
to
build
alliances
with
other
folks
who
are
doing
work
that
are
deeply
connected
to
what
you're
trying
to
do
and
engage
them,
because
I
I
think
what
happens
is
that
most
communities
they
see
they.
You
know
everybody's
fighting
around
violence,
prevention
or
they're,
fighting
for
housing,
justice
or
education,
but
we
rarely
create
opportunities
for
us
to
have
one
conversation
to
see
how
all
of
these
things
are
interconnected
right.
L
So,
if
kids,
who
are
afraid
to
walk
to
school
or
or
are
afraid
to
ride
the
bus
because
of
violence,
you
can
link
up
with
folks
who
are
doing
violence,
prevention,
work
and
help
them
understand
how
safe
livable
streets
impacts
them
too.
And
that's
the
question
that
that's
what
I
opened
up
with
earlier
is
really
thinking
outside
the
box.
And
how
do
we
open
up
that
tent
so
that
you
all
are
not
doing
these
conversations
in
silos?.
A
A
How
long
is
it
going
to
take
for
this
elderly
couple
to
get
this
sidewalk
in
my
neighborhood
we
were
told:
well
we
get
about
1200
done
a
year
which
would
put
that
to
about
15
years
that
sidewalk
would
be
a
teenager.
It
was
brand
new,
and
so
I
guess
the
question
is
you
know
when
we
come
to
handicap
accessible
walking.
This
is
part
of
like
public
health
and
pedestrian
safety.
This
is
a
major
issue
for
me.
A
U
I
can
get
back
to
you
on
sort
of
the
full
number
of
non-compliant
or
missing
ada
sidewalks.
I
can
get
back
to
you
on
that.
The
1200
a
year
this
year
is
obviously
a
little
bit
anomalous
in
terms
of
what
our
construction
has
been
our.
What
we
did
this
year
was
with
the
expectation
of
having
1200
pedestrian
ramps,
be
completed.
U
In
fact,
in
part
of
the
budget
in
fy
21,
we
actually
increased
the
amount
of
money
going
to
88
sidewalks
and
there's
actually
a
new
position
within
the
public
works
department
that
we'll
be
filling,
which
is
an
ada
coordinator.
Who's
really
focused
essentially
on
how
to
have
more,
to
be
able
to
accelerate
our
work
around
accessibility
and
to
think
about
the
prioritization
process,
because
underlying.
U
A
Thank
you,
and
so
for
confirming
that,
and
obviously
I'm
aware,
coven
has
made
all
these
numbers
a
little
different
in
terms
of
tracking
data.
I
know
that
the
city,
even
before
I
was
a
counselor,
made
a
very
big
deal
about
tracking
how
many
potholes
were
filled
tracking,
how
many
requests
are
made,
but
I
can
tell
you
as
a
counselor.
One
of
the
more
frustrating
experiences
I
have
is
you
know,
other
than
kobe.
A
19
related
needs
like
housing
needs,
or
food
needs,
traffic,
safety
and
street
bumps
and
pedestrian
crosswalks,
and
these
kinds
of
things
are
like
the
number
one
thing
we
get
called
about
and,
generally
speaking,
the
process
looks
like
me
advocating
with
the
btd
to
do
it.
I
know
somebody
takes
it
down,
but
I
have
no
idea
what
the
process
is
in
terms
of
how
long
it's
going
to
take
to
get
seen.
A
This
is
the
number
of
folks
on
it.
This
is
just
what
it
is.
Rather
than
just
saying
I
got
to
track
down.
You
know
chief
osgood,
to
figure
out
exactly
where
this
particular
job
is.
Is
there
any
ability
to
create
a
dashboard
for
sort
of
that
because
I
assume
it
exists,
and
so
I
would
just
like
to
make
that
public
facing.
Is
that
possible.
U
So
it's
a
great
question.
I
think
we
can
do
two
things
and-
and
commissioner
and
vinit
tell
me
if
I'm
off
on
this,
one
is
sort
of
just
generally
making
it
clear
kind
of
the
sort
of
the
additional
work
that
has
has
gone
in.
Where
are
the
radar
speed
feedback
signs?
Where
are
the
raised
crosswalks
all
of
those
pieces
that
is
sort
of
one
piece,
because
I
appreciate
that
your
sort
of
the
higher
priority
in
some
ways
is
what
are
the
outstanding
requests
that
need
to
get
done?
U
That
is
actually
the
focus
of
the
other
piece
that
is
new
in
our
budget,
which
is
this
sort
of
three
one
one
council
request
set
of
of
interventions.
I
don't
think
we
would
right
now
be
able
to
give
you
I'm
sure
that,
right
now
we
could
not
say
here's
how
long
it
will
take
us
to
get
through
that
list
over
the
course
of
the
year
ahead.
We
are
going
to
be,
as
vinny
mentioned.
U
B
U
And
commissioner,
they
need
to
tell
me,
if
I'm
up
with
this,
but
we
could
find
ways
to
potentially
make
that
a
little
bit
clearer
about
the
where,
where
requests
are,
how
those
requests
are
being
prioritized
et
cetera
as
we
get
into
the
work
over
the
course
of
the
winter
christian
irving.
Does
that
sound
right
to
you
guys.
P
So
we've
made
a
concerted
effort,
especially
in
the
last
several
months,
to
really
focus
on
getting
those
older
cases
completed,
getting
back
to
constituents,
making
sure
that
we
are
communicating
back
to
the
individual.
That
has
obviously
waited
a
long
time
for
answers
and
or
to
see
some
results.
So
we'll
continue
to
focus
on
that.
We've
made
progress,
but
certainly
there's
more.
We
can
do.
A
Thank
you,
and
I
just
want
to
be
clear.
This
isn't
a
critique
of
any
of
you
you're
my
favorite
department
in
the
entire
city.
You
do
blessed
work
and
every
time
you
show
up
in
my
district,
I
want
to
throw
parades,
but
I'm
just
trying
to
make
sure
that,
in
terms
of
the
phone
calls
that
we
get,
because
this
is
the
number
one
thing
I
can't
stress
this
enough,
I
have
put
in
you
know
this
chief
osgoode
I've,
given
you
lists
of
pedestrian
crosswalks
of
hot
spots.
B
A
I
it's
been
blinking
lights
for
like
a
year.
I
know
that
eversource
is
part
of
the
issue
here.
Verizon
is
part
of
the
issue
here.
It's
third
party
contractors,
not
the
city
per
se,
but
can
we
just
explain
to
me
so
that
I
can
go
and
advocate
to
who
I
need
to
advocate
as
loudly
as
I
need
to
advocate
to
get
that
done
where
these
hold
ups
are
where
these
hang
ups
are.
U
Yeah
and
commissioner,
you
guys
might
have
an
update
on
this.
The
to
connect
the
lights
on
either
side
of
the
bridge
does
require
conduit.
That,
essentially,
is
needs
coordination
with
eversource,
I
don't
know
over
the
last
week.
I
don't
know
where
that
stands,
so
that
has
been
a
little
bit
of
the
hold
up
is
essentially,
as
I
understand
that
the
connection
between
those
two
lights
that
requires
the
coordination
you
speak
up.
Let
me
just
look
back
to
you
on
that.
Unless
the
commissioner,
you
know
where
that
the
current
status
of
that.
P
A
A
I,
those
are
my
number
two
requests
and
I
never
know
personally
how
many
we
actually
are
able
to
do
or
have
available,
and
it
makes
it
really
difficult
for
me
as
a
counselor
to
figure
out
whether
or
not
I'm
telling
somebody
something
in
terms
of
we'll
we'll
look
at
this,
and
I
should
already
know
that
there's
just
no
way
to
get
that
done
in
that
time
frame
or
if
we're
we're
able
to
actually
get
these.
How
accessible
these
things
are.
A
U
Great
question:
one
of
the
things
we
actually
did
related
to
your
your
first
question
of
kind
of
the
the
looking
at
the
outstanding
request
that
we
have
is
look
at:
what
are
the
interventions?
What
what
are
the
intervention
types,
speed,
homes,
radar,
speed,
feedback
signs,
rectangular,
rapid,
flash
beacons,
etc,
and
where
do
they
make
sense?
And
how
long
is
this?
Essentially,
what
does
it
take
for
us
to
implement
them?
U
I
think
that's
one
of
the
things
which
we
could
probably
make
that
toolkit
sort
of
more
visible
to
your
point,
to
make
it
clear
where
those
things
where
would
we
deploy
them?
How
long
does
it
take
us
to
play
them,
etc?
There
is
a
pretty
significant
difference
in
where
they
would
be
used,
how
they
be
used,
how
quick
they
are
to
deploy.
So
a
radar
speed
feedback
sign
is,
in
general,
like
most
sinus
changes
fairly
quick
to
implement
a
raised.
U
Crosswalk
often
requires
far
more
time,
because
it
it
may
impact
the
drainage
of
the
street,
which
may
require
some
much
more
significant
excavation
speed.
Humps
are
somewhere
to
some
degree.
Someone
in
between
also
requires
engineering
analysis
and
is,
is
used
really
only
on
streets
of
that
have
low
or
no
slope,
and
so
there's
a
set
of
criteria
that
we
would
use
for.
Each
of
the
interventions.
A
E
Yeah-
and
I
would
just
say
this
and
an
interest
of
time-
I
really
appreciate
this
panel
and
the
interest
of
time
of
this
panel,
my
colleagues,
the
public
and
the
second
panel,
I'm
happy
to
have
more
conversation,
offline,
chief,
osgood
love
to
engage
you
with
some
specifics
for
my
district
to
continue
this
conversation.
The
one
thing
I'd
like
to
just
get
on
the
public
record
is-
and
this
is
along
the
lines
of
council
me.
He
is
questioning
around
vendors
and
how
we
contract
in
the
city.
E
As
you
may
be
aware,
I
monitor
construction
projects
in
my
district
to
make
sure
that
we
are
following
the
br
jp
goals
and
guidelines
and
I'm
very
interested
in
the
complete
streets
project
in
nubian
square
and
adding
that
to
the
list.
So
just
a
heads
up
in
fyi,
mr
chair,
thank
you
so
much
for
your
leadership
here,
happy
to
take
my
district
specific
questions
offline
and
have
a
briefing
with
my
team
and
your
team
chief
osgood.
If
that's
okay,.
E
D
A
I
I
think
that
I
just
think
if
we're
gonna,
you
know
if
we're,
if
we're
really
gonna
reimagine
what
life
in
the
city
looks
like,
frankly,
more
in
the
direction
of
how
the
city
of
boston
was
laid
out.
I
think
thinking
about
whole
realms
of
the
city
where
pedestrians
are
really
the
the
the
dominant.
You
know
the
dominant
entities
as
it
were,
isn't
interesting
and
cars
are
there
on
trespass.
You
know
it's
kind
of
an
interesting
way
of
reconceiving
things,
but
I'll
hold
my
questions
for
now.
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
A
K
I
I
was
intentionally
sort
of
listening
and
then
I
had
a
conflict,
so
I
hop
back
on.
I
can
send
my
questions.
I
prefer
to
give
the
time
to
the
residents
and
the
advocates
frankly,
it's
like
5
15.,
but
one
question
I
will
send,
though,
is
a
question.
I
continue
to
get
around
data
and
how
incomplete
it
is.
So
I
can
send
that
as
well.
So
thank
you.
L
Yes,
so
I'm
not
gonna
hold
anyone
hostage
because
I
know
time
is
ticking.
I
don't
have
a
district,
unlike
counselor
jamie,
always
representing
667.
I
don't
have
a
home
district,
so
I
represent
all
22
neighborhoods,
but
I
don't
have
anything
specific
to
a
neighborhood.
I
do
have
a
general
something
that
I
want
to
offer.
L
That's
when
I
first
moved
back
to
boston
after
living
in
new
york.
I
can
walk
anywhere
in
new
york
anywhere
at
any
time
and
be
all
good,
but
when
I
moved
back
to
boston
one
time
there
were
times
when
I
was
walking,
I
would
try
to
walk
from
downtown
to
dorchester
and
it
wasn't
walkable.
It
wasn't
safe
and
I
didn't
understand
this
is
going
to
be
weird,
but
I'm
going
to
say
it
anyways,
but
everybody
was
trying
to
offer
me
a
ride.
I'm
like,
why
is
everybody
trying
to
offer
me
a
ride?
L
A
D
Thank
you,
council
arroyo.
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
I
forgot
to
say
thank
you
to
the
btd
team.
That's
always
working
hard.
Every
day
I
see
my
friend
vinnie
and
so
many
others
they're
doing
excellent
work.
And
let
me
let
me
just
add
one
more
point:
there's
a
group
of
btd
employees
that
sometimes
people
criticize
them
it's
the
traffic
enforcement
people
that
are
on
the
streets
every
day
the
media
meter
enforcement
people
every
day
they
work
hard,
they're
professional.
They
do
an
outstanding
job.
D
It's
and
I
know
people
give
them
a
hard
time.
Almost
every
day
people
can
be
verbally,
abusive,
but
they're
exceptional
people.
They
live
in
our
neighborhoods.
They
they're
our
neighbors
they're,
our
family,
they
coach
literally,
so
I
just
want
to
give
them
a
shout
out
because
they're
really
unsung
heroes
in
the
city.
Even
if
people
don't
want
to
hear
it,
I
I
think
they
are.
Thank
you.
A
A
Amongst
many
other
things
is
that
we
we
receive
a
good
amount
of
state
money
for
the
mbta
for
the
bus
lanes
for
things
like
that
that
we
really
care
about,
and
now
that
kovit
has
decimated
our
economy,
I'm
not
sure
how
much
of
that
money
is,
is
accessible
anymore
or
available,
and
so
do
you
know
what
the
state
is
going
to
be
able
to
provide
moving
forward.
Have
they
given
us
any
indication?
This
might
be
a
better
question
for
ways
and
means.
U
So
and
the
commissioner
v
may
have
more
information
on
this,
I
actually,
I
think
that
in
general,
a
lot
of
the
bustling
collaboration
work
we've
been
doing
with
the
mbta
has
not.
There
hasn't
been
an
adjustment
or
proposed
adjustment
by
the
t
based
upon
their
budget
challenges.
So
we
expect
the
things
that
we
have
been
talking
about
to
still
be
able
to
to
move
forward
to
the
pace
which
we
all
wanted
to
be
able
to
go.
Go
forward
on.
U
Obviously-
and
I
know
that
I
think
the
council
sort
of
all
in
agreement
with
the
mayor
on
this-
there's
a
lot
of
work
that
we
need
to
do
together
to
advocate
to
make
sure
that
there
is
not
the
level
of
service
reduction
that
is
being
proposed
currently
by
the
t,
which
is
a
separate
issue,
everlasting
counselor,
what
you're
directly
talking
about.
But
I
think
one
that's.
Obviously,
I
think
on
both
of
our
minds
as
well.
A
A
So
thank
you
so
much
and
now
equally
thankful
for
our
second
panel,
who
has
waited
to
speak
and
I'm
going
to
now
give
them
the
floor,
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we're
clear,
brendan
kearney
who's,
the
deputy
deputy
director
of
walk
boston,
christine
and
please
correct
me
on
these
names.
It's
very
important
to
me
that
I
get
names
right,
kristiana,
lechuza,.
A
A
X
We
have
a
shared
google
doc,
so
I'll
go
first,
because
I'm
listed
first
first
off
yeah.
Thank
you
to
everyone,
the
city
council,
for
having
this
conversation
and
sticking
around.
Also
thanks
for
having
the
public
comment.
First,
this
is
our
job,
but
any
of
those
people
that
signed
up
to
testify,
like
it's
super
important
to
hear
from
them.
So
thank
you
for
doing
that.
First,
speeding
is
a
huge
public
safety
issue.
X
As
you
all
know,
the
governor's
highway
safety
association
put
out
a
report
in
2019
called
speeding
away
from
zero
and
28
percent
of
fatal
crashes
in
2017
in
massachusetts
were
directly
speeding.
Related
higher
speed,
regardless
of
limit,
though,
is,
is
a
factor
in
every
traffic
fatality
and
crash
less
reaction
time
for
a
person
driving
to
be
able
to
brake
or
avoid
a
crash
and
also
fast-moving
vehicles
inflict
higher
blunt
force
trauma
on
crash
victims.
X
X
It's
a
research
project,
they're,
doing
they're,
committing
resources
to
study
how
speed
limits
are
set
for
clarity
to
users
and
designers,
and
that
massdot
is
moving
towards
basing
it
on
context,
meaning
we
could
have
slower
speeds
around
places
that
there
are
many
people
from
main
streets
districts
to
schools,
senior
centers
transit
stops.
I
would
implore
boston
to
get
to
the
front
of
the
line
on
this.
This
is
this
is
big.
You
know
the
85th
percentile
has
been
the
the
ruling
the
rule
of
the
day
for
a
long
time.
X
So
it's
great
that
massdot
is
going
this
direction.
I
would
you
know
implore.
Boston
to
you
know,
applaud
this,
and
you
know
encourage
it,
because
that
has
really
been
hamstringing.
A
lot
of
the
efforts
that
the
slow
streets
is
trying
to
do.
Counselor
bach
mentioned
systems
fixes
so
I'll.
Try
to
frame
some
of
my
comments
that
way.
X
X
Kessler
flynn
mentioned
concurrent
signals
which
do
work
well,
when
people
driving
are
doing
it
at
a
slower
speed,
so
they
can
appropriately
yield
to
people
who
have
the
legal
right
of
way
in
the
crosswalk.
There
are
obviously
some
exceptions:
they're
not
appropriate
at
intersections
with
many
or
high
high
volumes
of
turns,
or
at
t
intersections,
where
100
of
the
people
driving
are
turning
across
the
path
of
people
walking
the
crosswalk,
but
no
matter
the
setup,
whether
it's
concurrent
or
exclusive
for
people
walking
traffic
signals
should
be
on
a
shorter.
X
The
half
cycle,
like
counselor
bach,
mentioned
wherever
possible,
so
there's
just
less
delay
for
everyone.
Here's
a
few
more
systems
fixes
boston
should
be
leading
where
there
are
multiple
jurisdictions.
Many
of
the
most
dangerous
roads
for
speeding
are
not
even
boston
owned
where
they
have
multiple
jurisdictions.
Whether
it's
mass
dcr
massdot
be
great
for
the
city
of
boston
to
take
the
lead
to
advocate
for
changes
and
lead
on
some
of
these
mixed
jurisdiction
places
get
the
stakeholders
to
the
table.
X
Make
safety
changes
becca's
going
to
share
a
little
more
on
that
we
really
need
the
next
thing.
Is
we
really
need
good
data?
Thank
you
for
highlighting
that
councilor
campbell,
boston
police
should
be
fixing
their
database
connections,
so
they
are
automatically
sharing
crash
data
reports
with
massdot.
That
still
doesn't
happen,
but
we've
all
been
talking
about
it
for
years.
X
Thank
you
to
the
city
council,
for
funding
and
band-aid
to
that
problem
with
the
data
analyst
position,
so
the
info
is
shared
more
readily
with
the
transportation
department,
but
you
know
the
systems
fix
is
get
bpd's
crash
report
system
to
connect
directly
to
the
state
system.
Police
reports
have
way
more
info
than
the
ems
crash
data
that
can
be
shown
on
that
vision,
zero
crash
map
and
this
can
possibly
qualify
the
city
for
more
funding
programs
to
fix
dangerous
streets
going
on
data.
X
X
Nationally,
black
people
are
twice
as
likely
as
white
people
to
be
pulled
over
for
traffic
violations,
and
black
drivers
are
four
times
as
likely
as
white
drivers
to
be
searched.
This
is
not
just
a
concern
for
people
driving,
though
streets
blog
reported
earlier
this
year,
89
of
people
issued
jaywalk
citations
in
new
york
were
black
or
brown.
X
X
X
Is
there
an
escalation
or
a
next
step,
meaning
does
a
speed
feedback
sign
location
someday,
get
upgraded
to
a
speed
hump
if
people
continue
to
speed
down
a
street
like
these?
Are
these
are
ways
that
we
can
kind
of
get
a
systems
fix
going
there?
Finally,
it
would
not
be,
I
would
not
be
doing
walk
boss
injustice.
X
If
I
didn't
talk
about
snow
clearance
at
a
hearing
with
the
boston
city
council,
it's
important
to
show
safety
for
pedestrians
in
you
know
that's
key
year
round
from
clearing
curb
cuts
to
prioritizing
the
clearing
of
heavily
traveled,
sidewalks
and
crosswalks.
If
sidewalks
aren't
safely
cleared,
people
are
going
to
walk
in
the
street
since
those
do
get
cleared
raised.
Crosswalks
are
a
double
win.
They
can
slow
speeding
drivers
and
also
make
it
so
a
curb
cut
does
not
flood
or
freeze
last
thing
I'll
say
is
councilor
mejia.
I
agree.
X
There
needs
to
be
more
overlap
between
development
and
transportation
urban
edge
to
make
a
plain
neighborhood
development
corporation
and
the
community
builders
are
redoing.
The
mildred
haley
apartments
and
I
recently
met
with
them
through
an
invite
from
carolyn
royce
the
eggleston
square,
neighborhood
association
and
jp
neighborhood
council
during
one
of
their
existing
meetings,
and
offered
suggestions
that
a
new
four
leg
intersection
at
center
and
la
martine
should
include
a
raised
crossing
on
the
southwest
corridor
and
a
real,
safe
connection
for
for
people
using
that
path.
Y
I'm
beck
wolfson,
I'm
the
executive
director
of
the
boston,
cyclists,
union
and-
and
we
work,
you
know
with
all
sorts
of
partners
to
not
only
improve
safety
for
people
who
are
biking
but
for
people
who
are
walking
using
transit
and
driving
as
well.
You
know
safer
street,
for
one
mode
is
a
safer
street
for
everyone
and
and
first
I.
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
the
fact
that
there
was
a
fatal
crash
last
tuesday
that
took
the
life
of
virginia
or
jenny
chalmers.
I
Y
And
while
there
are
more
steps
that
the
council
and
the
staff
can
do
to
pressure
legislation
and
other
measures
that
can
make
trucks
safer
in
this
region,
the
fact
still
remains
that
separated
infrastructure
separating
vulnerable
road
users
from
heavy
vehicles
and
speeding
cars
makes
everyone
infinitely
safer.
So
I
just
want
to
be
sure
that
the
conversation
doesn't
diverge
from
infrastructure
and
go
to
the
truck
infrastructure.
Y
Last
year,
there
was
only
one
cyclist
fatality
in
the
city
of
boston.
There
have
already
been
two
this
year,
while
there
are
fewer
cars
on
the
road
and
injuries
haven't
slowed.
So
again,
you
know
this.
The
reason
why
we're
here
is
that
this
remains
a
very
serious
and
critical
issue.
This
year,
the
other
the
two
fatalities,
tommy
anderson,
was
killed,
while
riding
his
bike
at
mass
ave
and
laura
roxbury
at
harrison.
Y
Ave
and
a
man
was
killed
on
cummins
highway
in
matapan
by
a
speeding
car.
In
both
of
these
situations
and
in
many
situations
where
a
bicyclist
is
killed,
the
street
was
improved
afterwards.
The
fact
is
that
conversations
had
been
going
about
making
these
changes
in
some
cases
months.
In
some
cases
years,
we
always
can
predict
where
these
fatal
crashes
will
happen,
and
it's
critically
important
that
the
city
continues
to
look
at
the
crash
data
and
make
much
more
rapid
changes
and
decisions
about
where
to
make
those
changes.
Y
Y
So
you
know
the
intersectionality
that
counselor
mejia
keeps
bringing
up
is
really
critical.
It's
something
that
we're
looking
at
more
it's
something
that
the
city
should
probably
be
looking
at
more.
Where
are
those
populations?
They
are
more
vulnerable.
How
are
we
protecting
them
even
more
with
our
road
design
and
infrastructure,
and
before
I
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
what
the
city
is
doing
well
and
what
we
want
the
city
to
be
doing?
Y
I
do
want
to
talk
about
two
things
that
again
the
city
staff
and
the
council
can
do
just.
As
you
know,
the
question
has
been
raised.
This
is
a
resolution.
What
can
it
do?
There
are
two
things
that
I
think
there's
a
very
good
chance
that
resolutions-
or
you
know
more
force
from
the
council
and
the
staff
could
help
at
the
state
level.
Again,
one
is
trucks.
Y
Trucks
are
a
huge
public
safety
and
public
health
risk
to
all
people
on
our
roads,
and
you
know,
there's
been
legislation
that
advocates
and
the
city
have
been
trying
to
push
through
the
state
house
for
years
it's
probably
going
to
die
before
this
session
ends
at
the
end
of
december.
Whatever
you
can
do,
I
urge
the
city
council
to
get
involved
through
again
resolutions
through
more
pressure
on
the
state
legislature.
To
do
more.
Y
We
should
be
proud
that
we
were
the
first
city
in
the
country
to
have
a
truck
side,
guard,
ordinance
and
and
another
place
where
we
need
pressure
on
the
state
again.
The
fatal
crash
of
last
week
that
took
jenny
from
us
was
on
a
dcr
roadway.
It
was
blue
hills,
parkway
just
south
of
matapan
square
in
milton,
so
it's
not
a
city
of
boston
road.
Y
At
that
point,
and
many
of
the
fatal
crashes
where
pedestrians
are
killed
where
bicyclists
are
killed
and
where
motorists
are
killed
or
severely
injured
happen
on
dcr
roadways,
when
a
crash
occurs
on
a
massdot
or
mass
dot
roadway,
they
typically
have
a
much
more
rapid
response.
The
city
of
boston
used
to
have
a
program
through
the
vision,
zero
work
called
rapid
response
protocol.
Y
Y
We've
been
instrumental
in
trying
to
forge
a
better
connection
with
dcr
and
the
city
of
boston,
putting
pressure
on
dcr.
We
know
the
city's
interested,
but
there
there
has
to
be
more
of
a
mandate
for
dcr
to
do
more
because
their
roadways
are
deadly
and
they
go
through
the
city
of
boston
and
then
back
to
sort
of
what
the
city
is
doing
and
what
the
city
can
do
with
respect
to
public
safety
and
enforcement.
Y
I
agree
with
councillor
flaherty
that
we
can't
beat
up
the
transportation
department.
None
of
this
is
about
beating
them
up.
We
know
they
have
great
staff
and
great
intentions.
They
just
can't
do
everything
that
we
need
and
want
them
to
do
so.
You
know
we
know
the
budgeting
process
starts
in
november.
Y
Please
please,
please,
give
the
transportation
department
more
staff
more
money
for
these
tactical
projects
for
data
analysis
for
community
engagement.
All
the
things
that
we're
talking
about
today
we're
very
pleased
with
the
amount
of
projects
that
the
city
has
been
able
to
do
in
the
transportation
realm
with
so
few
resources
during
covid.
Y
We
know
that
travel
by
bike
is
more
essential
than
ever
before,
with
the
fear
of
being
in
enclosed
transit
vehicles,
and
it's
very
exciting
to
see
that
six
and
a
half
miles
of
bike
lanes
have
gone
in
when
only
eight
had
gone
in
the
in
the
six
previous
years.
We
hope
that
you
have
the
resources
to
keep
that
up,
and
I
just
want
to
say
to
the
gentleman
that
requested
prohibiting
bikes
on
sidewalks.
You
know
people
only
bike
on
sidewalks
when
they
don't
feel
safe
biking
on
the
street.
Y
Y
Y
It
showed
that
10
percent
of
respondents
who
don't
currently
commit
to
work
by
bike
would
if
they
were
dedicated,
off-street
separated
bike
lanes
and
only
four
percent
of
respondents
biked
before
the
pandemic,
but
eight
percent
would
like
to
bike
after
when
they
start
getting
to
work.
They
need
those
safe
spaces
to
ride,
and
the
last
thing
I'll
say
as
far
as
systems
change
I'd
love
to
know
what
the
internal
processes
are
for
deciding
what
type
of
treatment
happens.
Y
I'd
love
to
see
a
place
where
only
separated
bike
lanes
get
added
and
the
standard
is
the
protected
bike
lane
wherever
and
always
when
possible,
in
preble
street
in
south
boston
and
councillor
flynn.
I
hope
you
can
get
involved
and
advocate
for
this
they're
buffered
bike
lanes
that
are
slated
to
be
installed
this
season,
but
there's
space
for
a
five-foot
bike
lane
and
a
three-foot
buffer
in
between
moving
cars
and
parked
cars.
That's
the
amount
of
space
you
need
to
have
a
parking
protected
bike
lane.
Y
So
that
is
the
standard
you
have
the
space.
Why
isn't
that?
What's
happening
and
again
councillor
flynn?
We
know
there
are
many
many
many
people
who
bike
in
that
area
in
your
district.
They
all
hope
this
change
can
be
made
and
we
hope
you
can
be
an
advocate
for
that
too.
So,
thank
you
very
much
again,
everyone
for
being
here
for
listening
for
championing
all
the
residents
who
want
to
see
safer
streets
in
the
city.
A
A
D
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
council
royale,
thank
you
to
the
panelists
for
for
being
here
and
thank
you
for
the
btd
team
for
staying
on
and
listening
to
the
comments
from
the
pianos
as
well
so
brendan.
I
was
going
to
ask
you
you're,
advocating
and-
and
I
agree
with
you
if
there
is
a
automobile
accident,
if
there's
a
vehicle
involved
in
an
accident
with
the
with
the
bicyclist
pedestrian
you're
you're,
advocating
for
some
type
of
investigation,
but
also
that
there
would
be
a
there
would
be
paperwork
submitted.
D
D
Y
Yeah
thanks
councilor
flynn.
I
guess
what
I
can
say
is
again.
You
know
we
serve
on
the
city
of
boston's
vision,
zero
task
force
and
there
used
to
be
a
vision,
zero,
rapid
response
site
visit
after
every
fatal
crash.
Those,
I
think,
are
happening
to
sort
of
some
extent
now
the
advocates
at
least
don't
get
the
invite
anymore,
but
I
also
know
I
think
the
boston
police
really
have
to
be
there
to
provide
crash
information
that
isn't
otherwise
available
to
the
transportation
team
and
they
stopped
attending
those.
Y
It
sort
of
coincided
with
the
transition
of
the
representative
from
the
boston
police
department,
and
so
there
wasn't
really
someone
who
owned
that,
and
so
without
that
crash
information,
it
didn't
really
make
sense
for
those
to
happen.
Since
I
believe
kaylee
is
the
name
of
the
new
boston
police
department
person
who
comes
to
the
task
force
meetings,
she's
supposed
to
have
better
access
to
the
crash
information
after
they
occur.
I
don't
know
if
that's
happened
in
practice
and
if
those
rapid
response
visits
are
happening
again,
we
haven't
been
invited
to
those.
X
Right,
I
think
I
think
it
gets
back
to
like
you
know
the
system
fixes,
let's
fix
those
police
reports,
because
right
now,
like
everything,
lives
in
a
narrative
block
which
includes,
like
person,
personal,
identifying
information
for
the
people
that
are
involved
in
that
crash,
so
the
police
would
have
to
have
someone
redact
all
that
information
before
they're
able
to
share
it
with
with
you
know,
walk
boston
with
even
the
transportation
department.
So
the
problem
is
that
stuff
shouldn't
live
in
the
narrative
section,
it
should
live
in.
X
X
X
Y
Yeah
and
and
counselor
flynn,
the
other
thing
that
I'll
just
reiterate
those
used
to
happen
for
the
city.
They've
never
happened
for
crashes,
on
the
state,
roads
and
so
again
we're
looking
for
you
know
more
pressure
on
dcr
to
hold
those
in
conjunction
with
the
city's
vision,
zero
team.
When
crashes
happen
on
dcr
roadways
in
the
city
of
boston,.
X
D
Thank
you.
I
I
just
have
two
quick
comments
before
I
before
I
end
just
becker.
I
just
wanted
to
highlight
that
the
issue
you
you
asked
me
about
on
on
preble.
That's
one
of
the
questions
we
forwarded
already
to
chief
osgood
we've
been
in
contact
with
him.
Bro
died
on
preble
street
safety
by
the
rotary.
D
E
E
E
Meanwhile,
across
the
street
the
park-
that's,
the
city
is
supposed
to
take
care
of
hasn't
been
done,
and
so
I
want
to
make
sure,
there's
consistency,
and
I
know
that's
not
uchi
fosgood,
but
some
of
it
may
be
some
of
it's
transportation
and
some
of
its
public
works.
So
I
want
you
to
take
that
we've
got
to
make
sure
that
we're
doing
better.
E
My
other
two
points
are
around
distracted,
driving
and
enforcement
in
distracted
driving.
My
theory
as
someone
who
is
primarily
a
pedestrian,
is
that
everyone
is
distracted
and
when
I
am
in
a
vehicle,
and
particularly
when
I'm
a
passenger,
because
I'm
not
a
good
passenger,
I'm
a
backseat
driver,
I'm
not
a
good
passenger,
but
when
I'm
a
passenger
and
when
my
daughter
is
the
driver,
it
can
be
like
please
slow
down
or
don't,
and
you
know
she
wants
to
give
me
all
of
her
experience.
She's
been
driving
all
these
years.
The
issue
isn't
her.
E
What
I
need
her
to
understand
and
everyone
to
understand,
it's
not
about
you
being
a
good
driver.
It's
that
everyone
else
on
the
road.
No
one
is
paying
attention.
It's.
The
pedestrians
are
not
paying
attention
they're
on
their
phones
crossing
streets,
not
paying
attention
to
walk
signals.
Cyclists
are
not
paying
attention,
I
see
them
on
their
phones
and
certainly
the
people
in
cars
like
the
people
in
cars.
Everyone
I
mean
people
have
tvs
in
their
cars,
it's
ridiculous
on
the
things
that
people
are
doing
in
their
car.
So
I'm
curious.
E
You
know
what
are
the
biggest
things
that
we
need
to
be
looking
out
for
or
trying
to
change
in
terms
of
the
culture
of
distracted
driving
and
then
on
the
enforcement
side.
I
agree
wholeheartedly
with
the
last
thing
we
want
to
do
is
to
give
one
more
responsibility
to
police
officers
around
this
right
now,
it's
currently
their
their
responsibility.
E
But
when
we
talk
with
residents
and
advocates
about
this,
I
remember
holding
a
transportation
meeting
just
in
my
district,
because
this
issue
is
such
a
big
issue.
If
we're
talking
about
development,
if
we're
talking
about
housing
transportation
parking,
how
we
use
our
roads
always
comes
up
and
the
issue
that
comes
up
is
enforcement.
So
what
I
don't
want
to
see
happen
is
that
we
are
asking
police
officers
to
take
on
more
enforcement
and
to
do
more
enforcement
right,
and
I
know
it
lives
there.
Currently,
what
can
we
be
doing?
E
How
should
we
be
reimagining
traffic
enforcement
in
our
city?
That
does
not
involve
public
safety
officers?
How
do
we
keep
our
public
safety
officers
and
and
police
officers
focused
on
solving
crime
and
keeping
us
safe
in
the
city?
And
I
know
this
is
a
safety
issue
when
we're
talking
about
pedestrian
safety,
but
you
know
the
report
that
you
cited
brendan
with
70
of
the
stops
or
not
stops
just
interactions
with
with
folks
in
our
city,
black
folks,
even
though
we
make
up
only
24
percent
of
the
city.
So
that's
a
real
issue.
Y
Yeah
I'll
I'll
start
and
brendan
feel
free
to
add
everything
that
I
miss
and
more
you
know.
I'd
say
one
thing
that
we
have
been
jointly
working
on
with
our
colleagues
at
livable,
streets
and
massbike,
and
all
sorts
of
community
groups
is
automated
enforcement.
Mayor
walsh's
bill
for
automated
enforcement
doesn't
quite
do
what
we
wanted
and
needed
to
do
that
one
focuses
more
on
school
bus
enforcement
on.
Y
You
know,
passing
the
stop
signs
and
not
blocking
the
box,
but
a
piece
of
legislation
that
senator
brownsberger
worked
on
calls
for
speed
enforcement
and
some
red
light
enforcement,
and
and
it's
really
grounded
in
equity
principles.
Some
of
our
colleagues
have
shopped
it
around
with
the
aclu
several
times
and
they've
said
we.
We.
Y
Absolutely
they've
said
you
have
done
your
due
diligence.
You've
come
to
us
and
this
this
was
our
colleagues
at
louisville
streets.
You've
come
to
us
many
times.
You
know
you've
taken
things
into
account.
First
of
all,
it
takes
the
individual
bias
out
of
traffic,
speed
enforcement
it
and-
and
this
bill
in
particular
caps
the
fine,
I
believe
at
25
or
50
dollars.
Y
There
are
diversion
recommendations
so
that
you
don't
have
to
pay
a
fine
and
all
sorts
of
elements
that,
I
don't
remember
can
recall,
but
it
really
does
try
to
think
about
community
safety
and
benefit
first,
as
well
as
the
benefit
of
trying
to
change
behavior.
You
know
it's
not
about
producing
revenue,
it's
not
about
you
know
getting
people's
money,
punishing
that
it's
just
about
behavior
change
and
that's,
what's
really
grounded
in
this
legislation
again
another
opportunity
for
the
council
to
put
more
pressure
on
the
state
to
pass
this
legislation.
Y
You
know
the
legislation
has
been
talking
about
or
the
legislature
has
been
talking
about
legislation
that
would
allow
speed
enforcement
for
a
very
long
time.
You
know
longer
than
I've
been
in
this
world
and-
and
I
think
we're
this
close-
you
know
we
we
really
need
this
to
pass.
Another
thing,
too,
is
that
street
design
is
self-enforcing.
Y
You
know
on
cummins
highway,
where
the
gentleman
was
killed
while
biking
this
summer
on
american
legion,
where
there
was
drag
racing,
is
the
number
one
concern
of
residents
who
live
along
the
street
livable
streets
canvassed
more
than
450
people.
I
think
69
of
them
said
that
drag
racing
was
their
number
one
concern.
Y
Someone
was
killed
there
in
a
car
from
a
drag
racing.
Someone
drag
racing
a
vehicle
a
few
months
ago,
and
so
you
know
the
road
diet
on
both
of
those
streets
going
from
four
lanes
or
two
in
each
direction.
Down
to
one
in
each
direction,
creates
an
environment,
that's
self-reinforcing
and
doesn't
give
people
that
sort
of
freedom
to
drive
as
fast
as
they
want
it's.
You
know
the
environment's
different.
Y
Y
You
know,
normalizes
and-
and
one
thing
that
I
heard
in
a
recent
meeting
from
jeffrey
alexis
from
public
works-
is
that
from
data
they
have,
I
think
from
american
legion
could
have
been
cummins.
The
delay
for
people
in
cars,
after
going
from
four
lanes
to
two
was
29
seconds,
so
you
know
perception
might
be.
There
are
more
cars
than
ever
before.
I'm
slowed
down.
How
dare
you
take
this
lane
away?
E
Give
me
one
sec.
Can
you
hear
me
great
you're
on
youtube?
So
much?
Thank
you.
I,
I
think
the
right
balance
between
the
enforcement
piece-
that's
automated,
because
I
do
worry
about
I'm
glad
you're
speaking
with
the
aclu,
but
I
do
worry
about
the
over
presence
of
a
big
brother
watching
our
every
move,
and
I
guess
that's
just
the
world
we
live
in
now.
So
I
think
the
right
balance,
but
I
agree
on
the
design
piece.
E
So
I
appreciate
your
work
chief
osgood
and
I
appreciate
your
advocacy
so
let's
continue
to
work
together
around
and
I'm
really
interested
in
how
we
maybe
speed
up
some
of
this,
because
you
know
I've
only
been
here
a
couple
of
years,
but
this
is
the
same
conversation
that
we're
having,
and
my
sense
is
that
there's
a
lot
of
good
energy
and
good
will
and
political
will
to
do
this.
So
I
hear
from
the
first
panel
a
lot
of
good
work
happening
and
the
desire
to
do
this.
E
I
know
the
blue
hill,
you
know
dedicated
bus
lane
is
raising
some
questions
for
folks
and
protected
bike
lanes
raises
questions
for
folks
who
don't
bike,
but
I
think
there
is
enough
synergy
for
us
to
do
some
good
work
and
I'd
like
us
just
to
kind
of
ramp
that
up
in
the
coming
months
and
years.
That's
it
for
me,
mr
chair.
I
appreciate
everyone
on
this
call
and
everyone's
attention
to
this
important
issue.
Thank
you.
I
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr
chairman
and
yeah.
I
just
want
to
thank
brendan
and
becca
for
being
here
and
all
your
thoughtful
answers
and
advocacy
and
all
the
detailed
suggestions-
and
I
guess-
and
I
also
think
it's
really
important
to
stress
that
good
bike,
infrastructure
and
good
pedestrian
infrastructure
can
be
complementary
and,
in
fact,
usually
are-
and
I
I
referenced
earlier,
the
fact
you
know
again
just
to
chief
oscar,
you
know,
I
think
I
think
the
the
new
bike
lanes
around
the
public
garden
in
common
well.
I
I
know
that
for
some
folks
they're
hard
to
get
used
to,
I
think
that
they
they
achieve
both
some
bicycle
and
some
pedestrian
goals
that
we've
had
for
a
while
in
terms
of
slowing
down
those
those
streets.
I
think
that,
and
but
I
also
wanted
to
raise,
I
mean
I
think
I
think
one
reason
why
it
is
all
the
more
important
for
us
to
think
about
kind
of
a
network
of
bike
lanes
across
the
city.
Is
that
you
know
I.
I
I
But,
and
sometimes
you
know,
it's
tricky
for
us
to
figure
out
what
our
levers
are,
but
but
I
you
know
any
any
ideas
that
you
have
on
how
to
how
to
shift
kind
of,
in
the
same
way
that
we
want
to
shift
systems
thinking
on
the
city
side.
We
also
want
to
shift
systems
thinking
about
these
issues
on
the
dcr
side
and
the
dot
side.
So
just
you
know
really
really
grateful
for
your
continued
partnership
on
those
fronts.
Y
I
can
go
first,
I
guess
I'm
sort
of
thinking
off
the
fly.
I
mean
one
thing
that
I'll
say
is:
is
we
know,
there's
this
bike
boom
right
and
for
for
our
organization.
We
mainly
advocate
for
biking
as
a
means
of
transportation.
Like
yes,
it's
great
when
people
use
it
recreationally,
but
we
want
people
to
have
access
to
use
it
to
get
places.
Y
Definitely
more
than
50
were
new
to
biking
and
said
you
know.
I
saw
this
and
I
had
to
try
it
out.
Blue
bikes
has
done
some
great
data
analysis
that
shows
year
over
year.
The
number
of
people
who
are
new
cyclists
is
has
increased.
You
know
by
a
large
amount,
so
I'd
say
you
know
we
we
have
real
data,
that's
showing
that
more
people
are
biking
again.
Recreation
is
sort
of
a
gateway.
So
I
think
that
means
that
the
the
dcr
piece
is
actually
even
more
important.
R
Y
Access
to
to
parks,
and
so
if
we
can
get
them
there
on
a
bike
as
opposed
to
a
car-
that's
great,
you
know
again.
We
we
do
know
that
transit
use
is
down
significantly,
people
are
afraid
of
being
in
enclosed
transit
vehicles,
and
so
just
allowing
them
to
get
onto
bikes
is
a
huge
opportunity.
On
the
flip
side,
I'll
put
myself
in
walk,
boston,
shoes,
I'll
actually
say
you
know
before
the
pandemic.
Y
I
personally
I'd
say
my
transportation
mode
split
is
about
98
biking,
one
and
a
half
percent
bus
and
0.5
commuter
rail.
Just
because
I
don't
have
good
access
to
the
t
and,
and
I
enjoy
biking
and
I
can,
and
but
since
the
pandemic
I've
been
walking
a
lot.
It's
you
know
allowed
me
just
to
slow
down
a
little
bit.
I
don't
have
places
that
are
that
far
away
to
get
to
so
I
walk
to
the
grocery
store.
Y
Instead
of
you
know,
stop
on
my
bike
on
my
way
home
from
work,
and
so
you
know
I've
been
noticing
when
pedestrian
ramps
are
bad
and
signal.
Timing
is
bad
for
the
pedestrian
experience
more
than
ever
before
and
I'm
sure
if
we
talk
to
people
who
walk
a
lot,
you
know
they
would
tell
you
the
same
thing.
X
Yeah,
I
think
you
know,
building
on
that,
thanks
becca
for
speaking
out
for
walking.
One
big
thing
is
you
know
people
are
they
want
to
be
in
green
space.
So
it's
great
that
you
know
the
city
of
austin
has
the
goal
of
every
single
resident
being
within
a
10-minute
walk
of
a
park.
That's
fantastic!
You
know,
15-minute!
Neighborhoods
are
the
the
thing
right
now
again,
because
you
know
people
are
living
within
that
15-minute
bubble
of
their
their
home.
X
Y
Y
I
Great
yeah,
no,
I
think,
that's
so
important
and
that
we
have
plowing
yeah
on
regular
plowing
of
pedestrian
spaces
and
I'll
just
add
briefly
just
in
comment
form,
because
I'm
sure
I
should
let
others
go
that
I
I
also,
I
think
automatic
enforcement
narrowly
tailored
could
be
a
really
important
thing
for
us.
I
I
agree
with
the.
I
don't
really
want
cameras
that
are
just
scanning
the
street
and
tracking
everybody
who's
walking
by,
but
I
think
something
that's
designed
to
trail
closely
on
license
plates
and
to
kind
of
you
know.
I
So
I
think
you
know
thinking
about
about
ways
to
respond
to
speed
with
that
kind
of
automatic
enforcement
to
counselor
flynn's
point
is
important
and
since
you
were
mentioning
them,
I
just
wanted
to
flag
that.
I
have
noticed
that
particularly
bad
state
of
the
pedestrian
ramp
button
plastic
boards
in
the
dcr.
You
know
what
crossings
lately,
but
I
know-
and
this
is
probably
a
question
for
chris,
but
he
doesn't
need
to
answer
it
now.
I
But
just
one
thing
I've
just
wondered
about
is
how
we
can
move
towards
more
durable
design
on
that
front,
because
those
just
seem
to
be
constantly
breaking
and
I
think
it's
very
frustrating
wherever
we've
tried
to
make,
you
know
intersections
more
accessible
for
folks
with
disabilities.
You
know.
Obviously,
if
we
had
raised
crossings,
we
would
have
fewer
ramps
to
deal
with,
but
we
would
still
need
the
indication
that
you
were
entering
the
street
and
these
just
they
seem
to
be
wearing
very
poorly.
I
So
there's
just
a
couple
of
side
comments
for
me
and
then
my
last
one
would
just
be.
I
don't
think
either
of
you
address
this
sort
of
issue
of
beg,
buttons
and
weather
signals
are
automatic
or
sort
of
by
request
only,
but
I
know
it's
something
that
we,
you
know
hope
to
see
both
a
more
generous
signal
policy
and
also
that
more
generous
signal
policy
be
kind
of
automatic
more
around
the
city.
X
Absolutely
like
you
know,
the
the
buttons
should
be
there
when
they're
upgrading
intersections
to
make
sure
they're,
accessible
and
they're
compliant
for
people
who
need
you
know
the
the
sensory
button
and
the
the
acoustical
noise.
But
you
shouldn't
require
every
single
person
to
push
that
button.
It
should
be
automatic
for
pedestrians
and
I
just
wanted
to
tag
on
to
the
automated
enforcement
thing.
Becca
shared
so
much
good
stuff
before,
but
you
reminded
me
just
now
that
we
do.
X
X
The
problem
is,
it
stays
in
the
boards
for
30
days
and
then
it
just
like
overwrites
itself.
So
unless
there's
you
know
someone
going
out
to
the
site
with
a
thumb,
drive
and
collecting
that
information,
it
just
goes
away.
But,
like
that's
a
great,
you
know
resource
right
now
to
at
least
know.
You
know
what
what
are
people
doing
all
hours
of
the
day
on
this
street.
X
G
Thank
you
good
to
see
you
brandon,
since
our
little
adventure
out
on
washington
street
earlier
in
the
year
and
hi,
becky
or
becca,
sorry
beg
your
pardon.
We
we
heard
about
a
data
analyst
that
was
supposed
to
be
hired
to
analyze,
crash
data,
and
have
you
heard
that
I
I
heard
that
they
were
hired,
but
are
they
have
they
been?
Do
you
folks
know
if
they've
been
hired
and
if
they're
have
you
interacted
with
them
at
all?
G
I
and
again
it's
not
it's
another,
just
to
raise
your
your
awareness,
the
western
ave
portion
of
austin
brighton's
been
rezoned
at
the
moment
and
the
heavy
and
it's
parallel
to
soldiersfield
road,
which
is
a
dcr
road
which
traffic
trucks
and
buses
can't
go
on
on
soldiersfield
road.
So
that
means
so
much
more.
Traffic
will
be
on
so
on
western
health
and
the
the
ability
to
build
protected
bike
lanes
and
make
a
safe
bicycle
infrastructure
down.
There
is,
is
probably
compromised.
G
So
again,
it's
more
of
a
flag
to
put
it
running
up
the
flagpole
and
make
you
aware
of
that,
because
the
juxtaposition
of
soldiers
thing
road
which
will
put
heavy
traffic
on
to
western
ave
and
then
all
the
increased
development
over
there.
It's
it's
going
to
be
tricky.
So
so
really
the
data
analyst
was
the
only
question
I
had
and
and
again
to
your
point
to
brandon
about
eyewitness
reports.
G
I
think,
as
you
find
as
we
find
out
that
day,
when
we
were
out
in
on
washington
street,
there
was
a
woman
who
lived
in
one
of
the
high
rises
next
to
the
junction
at
egmont
and
she
came
down
and
was
able
to
report
three
instances
where
she
was.
She
nearly
saw
someone
nearly
get
killed
three
times
in
a
row
so
having
a
way
for.
G
G
Y
Yeah,
I
would
say
to
this
point:
you
know:
meetings
have
been
slightly
less
frequent,
both
I
think
because
of
covet
and
because
the
city
has
so
much
work
that
they've
been
trying
to
do.
They're
just
convening
the
task
force
a
little
bit
less.
So
you
know
I
think,
since
she
came
on
maybe
in
june
there
have
been
three
or
four
meetings.
Nothing,
you
know
that's
been
revolutionary
yet,
but
I'm
sure
there's
a
lot
going
on
behind
the
scenes.
So
I
may
not
know
that
it's
useful.
L
Yes,
it's
good
to
see
you
guys.
Thank
you
for
your
presentation.
I
I
have
some
questions
and
some
comments.
One
is
around
in
regards
to
the
disability
situation.
You
know
I've
heard
from
a
lot
of
folks
who,
even
during
the
snow
plowing
like
the
bus
stops,
are
not
plowed
correctly,
so
they
can't
get
on
the
buses.
So
let's
really
be
super
mindful
that
not
everybody
can
just
walk.
There
are
a
lot
of
folks
who
are
in
wheelchairs
who
are
having
a
hard
time
accessing
our
sidewalks.
L
Our
kids
are
being
shipped
when
covet
now
that
I've
been
shipped
anywhere
because
I'm
all
learning,
but
you
know
our
kids
are
being
shipped
from
one
bath
neighborhood
school
to
another
bad
neighborhood
school
right,
so
they
can't
skip
to
malou
and
go
to
school
down
the
street
and
they
can't
ride
their
bikes
to
school.
So,
let's
really
think
about
this.
L
In
terms
of
you
know
addressing
that
elephant
in
the
room
that
it's
it's,
it's
an
aspirational
situation,
but
that's
not
the
reality
in
the
city
of
boston,
in
terms
of
being
able
to
ride
your
bike
or
walk
to
school.
That's
not
the
case
for
a
lot
of
folks
and
then
how
do
you
partner
up
with
community
groups
that
are
doing
advocacy
around
community
schools
to
see
you
all
as
partners
in
this
work?
The
other
piece
that
I
wanted
to
just
kind
of
I'm.
L
I
am
a
little
worried
about
the
reinforcement,
the
enforcement
conversation
because
oftentimes
that's
just
a
tax
on
poverty,
a
lot
of
people.
There
are
some
folks
who
I
can
understand
the
whole
idea
of
do
the
crime
pay,
the
dime
or
whatever
it's
the.
However,
they
say
it,
but
I
do
worry
about
those
folks
who
are
already
struggling
to
make
their
ends
meet
and
then
they
were
the
speed
limit
was
30
was
25
and
they
were
36
and
all
of
a
sudden.
L
L
Let's
do
that
very
thoughtfully
and
making
sure
that
people
are
understanding.
What
the
that
the
unintended
consequences
of
something
like
that,
and
the
last
thing
that
I
just
want
to
like
uplift
and
just
kind
of
put
out
here-
is
that
you
know
there
are
parents
who
have
multiple
kids,
who
have
to
go
to
different
schools
and
so
walking
to
school
or
getting
on
the
bus
to
get
to
and
from
locations.
L
May
not
be
the
easiest
thing
for
some
folks,
so
whether
it
be
carpooling
or
driving
to
that
people
are
doing
these
things
because
they
have
to,
and
so
I'm
just
curious
like
what
and
how
are
you
all
communicating
and
engaging
folks
who
can't
rely
on
the
t,
because
they
have
multiple
stops
and
multiple
kids
to
get
to
school
and
pick
up.
So
I'm
just
curious
like
how?
How
do
you
incorporate
those
folks
into
your
narrative.
Y
Yeah,
I
I
can
go
first,
if
that
it's
okay,
brendan
thanks
councillor
mejia
for
all
those
questions,
I
think
I
noted
them
so
I'll
do
my
best
to
you
know,
provide
responses
where
I
have
valuable
ones.
As
far
as
you
know,
folks,
who
are
differently
abled,
who
you
know
have
access
issues.
The
disability
commission
does
serve
on
the
vision,
zero
task
force.
Y
So
again,
you
know
when,
when
the
city
does
a
good
job
of
clearing
the
bike
lanes,
they're
often
the
best
path.
So
you
know
we
feel
the
more
bike
lanes,
the
more
separated
bike
lanes
that
are
easier
for
the
city
to
clear
and
when
the
city
has
a
clear
plan
for
that,
more
often
they
they
actually
do
improve
access.
But
you
know
that
that
does
necessitate
having
a
voice
and
a
seat
at
the
table.
So
you
know
we
accomplish
some
of
that
through
the
the
vision,
zero
task
force.
X
X
Yeah
no
problem
but
like
it
was
it
was
eye-opening
for
me.
I
even
thought
I
knew
what
the
problem
was,
but
it
was
way
worse
than
than
what
I
had
pictured
just
like.
If
you
don't
fully
clear
it
like
the
slush
buildup
refreezes,
and
then
you
can't
get
through
at
all,
so
it
has
improved
the
way
I
clear
snow
just
from
from
seeing
what
she
encountered.
X
Y
Yeah
thanks
brendan,
as
as
far
as
school
partnerships
in
most
of
the
campaigns
that
we're
working
on
now
we're
actually
building
a
lot
of
connections
with
young
people
and
with
schools
we're
organizing
around
the
eggleston
square
jp
to
roxbury
connection
right
now,
since
the
columbus
have
bus
lanes
really
there,
there
was
a
missed
opportunity,
pretend
you
know:
lots
of
constraints
and
bike
facilities,
weren't
added
there.
It's
an
area
where
a
lot
of
people
ride
on
the
sidewalk.
Y
You
know
between
jackson,
square
and
franklin
park,
and
so
you
know
we're
we're
working
with
the
city
and
and
with
organizers,
to
provide
a
safe
route
there
and
we're
working
closely
with
bikes,
not
bombs,
and
some
youth
organizers.
There
we're
working
closely
with
folks
at
the
hernandez
school,
both
the
administration
and
parents,
so
we're
you
know
really
trying
to
get
as
deeply
embedded
into
the
community.
While
you
know
we
work
to
look
at
what
the
solutions
are
as
best
as
possible.
L
You
know
like
schools
like
the
hernandez,
that's
a
city-wide
school,
so
most
of
the
people
you
know
like
they
draw
from
different
parts
of
the
city.
I
think
most
of
our
schools
are
like
that
and
the
alleged
neighborhood
schools,
or
at
least
the
ones
that
I
ever
wanted
to
get
into
the
city.
They
were
city-wide
choices
for
me,
so
I
know
that
they
draw
from
different
parts
of
the
city,
and
that
was
on
my
egg
crate.
Even
though
I
don't
live
in
that
neighborhood.
L
You
know
that's
a
it
was
a
three
mile
or
so
walk,
so
I'm
just
just
kind
of
uplift.
Not
all
schools
are
like
that,
but
I
I
do
know
that
some
of
our
schools
have
those
city-wide
appeal
to
them,
and
so,
but
no
I'm
happy
to
see
the
effort
that's
being
made
to
engage
schools,
because
I
really
do
think
if
we
start
thinking
strategically
about
this
work
and
start
aligning
people
across
our
silos.
L
I
think
that
we'll
be
able
to
have
the
type
of
environment
that
we
are
all
hoping
for
right,
where
kids
can
actually
literally
walk
to
school
families
can
be
more
engaged
because
they're
in
their
neighborhoods
and
connecting
with
the
people
that
their
children
are
growing
up
with,
and
you
can
ride
your
bike.
I
used
to
ride
my
bike
to
school.
I
used
to
walk
to
school
when
I
was
a
kid
and
you're
right.
L
We
don't
have
that
anymore
and-
and
I
think
that
you
know
there
is
a
desire
for
us
to
go
back
to
the
way
things
used
to
be
well
not
back
to
normal,
the
other.
You
know
other
normal,
but
just
like
some
of
the
easy
things
that
made
a
sense
of
community
and
I
think
a
lot
of
the
work
that
you
all
are
doing
can
help
create
that
type
of
environment
that
will
help
address
the
violence.
That's
happening
in
our
streets.
That
will
help
you
know
go
beyond.
I
know
you
guys
want.
L
Y
L
Y
That
sort
of
at
the
state
level
that
I
think
there's
more
opportunity
for
the
city
to
engage
with
is
the
safe
routes
to
school
program.
You
know,
they're,
really
really
passionate
folks
who
want
to
do
things
like
create
walking
buses.
So
you
know
like
trains
of
people
who
walk
together
and
who
can
you
know,
bike
together
and
provide
that
support
and
try
to
access
her
pooling
and
things
like
that.
So
I
think
the
more
the
city
can
be
a
partner
to
safe
routes,
to
school,
the
better
and
and
one
other
thing
too.
Y
Our
office
used
to
be
near
the
intersection
of
dudley
street
and
blue
hill
ave,
and
we
had
a
group
of
kids
from
orchard
garden.
Who'd
come
to
our
bike
shop
and
hang
out
and
work
with
our
mechanics
and
talk
to
our
staff
all
the
time
and-
and
we
learned
that
one
of
them
who
we
actually
ended
up
employing
at
one
time
he
would
bike
to
school,
but
his
bike
was
stolen
twice,
and
so
I
think,
having
secure
bike
parking
at
schools
for
young
people
is
also
really
important
too.
A
A
I'm
gonna
ask
two
questions
because
I
think
you've
been
asked
quite
a
few
of
them,
and
I
didn't
hear
particularly
these
two,
and
so
I
think
this
would
be
helpful,
and
I
want
to
thank
by
the
way
chief
osgood
and
mr
gupta
from
the
city
for
being
on
the
call
this
long
to
hear
all
of
this
and
not
leaving
after
they've
spoken,
and
this
might
actually
be
helpful
for
them.
Two
questions,
two
parts.
A
The
first
is
what
has
been
done
because
of
covid
that
has
led
to
an
improved
experience
for
pedestrians
and
for
bikers
that
you
would
like
to
see
us
continue
something
that
we've
already
done.
That
you
think
is
an
example
of
something
that
could
work
much
better
and
it
just
as
well
post
pandemic
and
then
two
on
not
pandemic
related.
What
is
something
that
you
believe
that
we
can
do
quickly?
That
would
have
a
big
impact
on
pedestrian
safety
on
bike
safety.
A
X
Yeah,
those
are
great
questions
I'll,
say
number
one.
What
have
we
done
to
lead
to
an
improved
experience,
fixing
the
signals
in
the
downtown
section
like
fixing
the
intersection
right
outside
government
center?
Oh,
my
gosh,
like
great
job
btd,
you
fixed
that
that
is
excellent,
like
it's
just
so
much
simpler
now,
but
it's
not
just
that
intersection
like
all
down
tremont
street
they're
re-timing
signals
like
fantastic
changes
like
great
great
work,
with
the
connect
downtown
project.
I
think
that
is
something
coveted
related
that
they
were
able
to
initiate.
A
Y
Great
sorry
about
that,
I
would
say
the
acceleration
of
separated
bike
lanes
has
been
really
really
amazing.
You
know
some
of
these
projects
it
last
year
in
the
budget
cycle,
the
downtown
network
was
promised
to
be
installed
within
three
years
and
it
was
done
in
a
year
and
a
half.
You
know
everything
was
accelerated
because
of
kovid.
Again,
we've
been
saying
again
and
again
and
again,
we
need
those
changes
in
every
neighborhood,
not
just
downtown
we're
pleased.
Y
Those
two
is
that
the
pilot,
as
the
pilot
has
been
used
as
a
process,
and
that
was
you
know,
spoken
about
earlier-
that
when
you
use
cones
and
things
that
are
less
permanent,
to
get
feedback
to
see
how
things
work,
to
tweak
the
design
and
and
to
be
out
at
that
infrastructure
and
talk
to
people
about
their
experience,
that's
really
valuable,
although
at
the
same
time
covid
has
meant
you
know
it's
harder
to
talk
to
people,
we
have
masks.
We
have
you
know,
fears
of
interaction,
so
sort
of
a
dual
benefit
and
challenge.
Y
At
the
same
time.
Another
benefit
has
been
the
city.
I
think
partnering
with
the
blue
bikes
funders
to
provide
access
to
more
subsidized
passes
and
again
those
have
really
been
a
gateway
for
a
lot
of
essential
workers.
I
think
the
essential
worker
blue
bags
pass
program
has
been
really
powerful
and
hopefully
people
will
continue
to
use
those
who
newly
had
access
and-
and
another
thing
too,
that
has
sort
of
been
on
the
back
end
is
because
of
coped
with
bustling
projects
being
accelerated.
Y
We
really
pushed
the
city
and
the
mbta
to
work
better
together
and
they
are
which
is
exciting
and
so
projects
where
there's
an
opportunity
for
bus
infrastructure
and
vice
infrastruct
bike
infrastructure
and
safer
pedestrian
experience
is
being
done
with
a
better
partnership
than
I've
ever
seen
before
and
at
greater
speed.
So
that's
all
been
great
and
I
think
that's
something
else
that
could
be
done
more
quickly
to
have
an
impact
is
that
sort
of
better
marriage
of
bus
and
bike
projects.
It
allows
the
city
to
capitalize
on
the
state's
mbta
funding.
Y
V
A
X
B
X
Yeah
yeah
yeah
sam
balto
has
shared
with
me
number
of
the
access
issues
around
the
parks
in
your
your
neighborhood.
So
you
know
you
know,
figuring
out
snow
clearance
in
and
around
our
parks,
because,
especially
this
winter,
there
are
more
people
that
are
going
to
want
to
be
out
and
enjoying
our
parks
because
they
need
to
get
out
of
the
house.
Y
And
can
I
add
one
more
thing
to
counselor?
Those
were
two
really
great
questions
and
I
have
one:
that's
I
think
sort
of
gets
to
both.
One
thing
you
know
because
of
kobit
is
we've
we've
really
given
people
a
different
way
to
imagine
using
their
street
space.
You
know
where,
before
like
you
would
take
away
one
space
for
one
parked
car
and
you
know
it
causes
a
catastrophe
or
you
know.
Y
People
expect
that
now,
businesses
who
usually
oppose
parking
loss
are
begging
for
the
city
to
get
rid
of
a
parking
space
to
allow
for
seating.
So
I
hope
you
know
that
every
that
we
don't
forget
the
sort
of
excitement
to
re-envision
how
we
allocate
that
space
and
how
we
use
that
space
and
how
we
use
it
for
community
and
for
you
know,
businesses
and-
and
I
hope
that
we
can
carry
that
forward
too.
A
I
think
that's
an
excellent
point
on
that
front.
This
is
the
protocol
that
I
I
said
I
was
gonna
break
before
I
go
to
the
public
comment
and
just
I
see
people
waiting
for
public
comment
who
have
not
spoken
yet
if
you've
already
spoken,
you
had
your
your
public
comment.
This
is
so
public
comment
is
for
right
now
after
this
for
folks
who
have
not
yet
spoken.
If
you
can
just
raise
the
blue
hand,
I
see
folks
who
have
not
spoken
but
have
signed
up.
A
So
if
you
could
raise
your
blue
hand,
so
I
know
you're
there
and
able
to
speak,
but
this
is
the
protocol
that
I
was
gonna
break.
I
know
that
chief
osgood
is
here
and
mr
gupta
here,
because
this
feedback
is
very
important
to
them
and
they
unfortunately,
don't
get
the
ability
to
ask
questions.
Well
we're
asking
questions,
and
so
either
one
of
you
is
there
a
question
that
you
had
for
this
panel
that
you
would
like
to
ask
them
at
all.
U
Because
that
is
that's
fantastic.
I
had
a
great
pleasure
talking
to
brendan
and
back
up
fairly
frequently,
but
I
so
one
doesn't
come
to
mind,
but
I
obviously
appreciate
their
testimony
appreciate
that
brendan's
first
point
the
testimony
of
the
members
of
the
public
and
and
to
the
council
and
to
the
chair.
I
really
appreciate
the
really
provocative
questions
that
I
know
that
were
valuable
for
viniq.
V
It's
another
thing
for
somebody
who
lives
in
the
area
who
also
likes
to
bike
to
show
up
at
a
meeting
and
say
I
live
here
and
I
want
to
bike,
and
I
think
that
and
what
are
you
doing
about
it
city?
You
know
kind
of
if
a
local,
if
a
local,
if
local
groups
challenge
us
to
do
more
bike
lanes
and
more
pedestrian
improvements
and
more
bus
lanes.
V
It's
it's
easier
for
us,
because
the
one
dimension
we
haven't
talked
about
is
that
we
get
a
lot
of
free.
We
get
a
lot
of
fight
back
a
lot
of
pushback
on
all
these
products
that
we're
doing
it's.
You
know
there
are
a
lot
of
people
going
saying
this
is
a
bad
idea.
Why
are
you
doing
it?
You
know
we
are
taxpayers,
you're
not
listening
to
us,
and
so
so
we
need
local.
We
need
local
support
for
these
progressive,
I'm
calling
them
progressive
kind
of
you
know:
bike
improvements,
plus
improvements.
Z
Z
Flagrant
abusers
clearly
are
not
concerned
with
the
law
of
the
neighborhood.
So
beginning.
Some
months
ago,
a
group
of
two
to
four
clearly
modified
sports
car
drivers
began
racing.
What
appears
to
be
a
standard
circuit
in
the
back
bay
covering
at
iran,
berkeley,
newbury,
comm,
ave,
possibly
beacon
in
bolston,
we're
not
sure
where
the
other
end
of
the
circuit
is,
but
they
repeat
it
many
times
always
on
saturday
night
from
10
to
3
in
the
morning,
and
occasionally
friday
and
thursday
nights
on
the
east-west
streets.
Z
They
gun
their
engines,
accelerate
the
speeds
way
beyond
rational
driving,
and
sometimes
they
simply
run
through
red
lights
like
at
berkeley
and
come
other
times.
They
stop
at
the
lights,
but
run
burnouts
before
taking
off
we're
on
the
fifth
floor
and
the
person
on
the
other
end
of
our
911
calls
can
hear
them
quite
clearly
and
on
rare
occasions
they
will
spin
out
donuts
in
the
middle
of
intersections.
Z
You
can
check
the
cross
section
of
berkeley
and
newbury
and
you'll
see
several
circles
created
by
one
driver
and
one
donut
two
weeks
ago,
and
I
have
a
photo.
I
can
send
to
people
if
they're
interested
we're
not
going
to
guilt
these
people
into
doing
anything
in
our
interests.
So
I'm
unclear
how
the
bpd,
not
getting
more
involved,
will
solve
this,
but
I'm
certainly
open
to
suggestions,
for
example,
raised
intersections
at
pedestrians
crosswalks
on
east-west
streets
or
something.
Z
AA
Hi
good
evening,
thank
you
so
much
for
hosting
this.
This
hearing
counselor
and
thank
you,
everyone
else
for
all
the
detailed
and
and
great
the
discussion.
My
name
is
travis
marshall,
I'm
a
resident
of
roslindale,
I'm
a
walker,
I'm
a
driver,
a
bike
commuter
and,
most
importantly,
I'm
a
parent
of
two
kids
who
themselves
bike
and
walk
in
our
streets
and
in
pre-coveted
times
we
did
walk
to
school
every
morning
across
multiple
intersections
and
over
six
years,
we've
had
more
than
our
share
of
close
calls,
even
on
relatively
small
residential
intersections.
AA
We
also
bike
as
a
family
to
destinations
around
the
city,
and
I
cannot
stress
enough
how
much
lower
my
blood
pressure
is
when
my
kids
are
in
protected
bike
lanes
as
opposed
to
open
traffic.
So
thank
you
all
for
all
the
work
on
those
protected
lanes
with
all
due
respect
to
counselor
flaherty.
I
do
not
believe
increased
enforcement
and
policing
is
a
sustainable
or
particularly
effective
method
for
curbing
reckless
drivers
in
our
city
and
neighborhoods.
AA
AA
We
need
physical
infrastructure
that
forces
drivers
to
travel
at
safer
speeds
through
our
neighborhoods,
so
raise
costs
raise
crosswalks
as
counselors
ivy
george
mentioned
more
road
diets
that
narrow
streets
to
calm
traffic,
speed
humps
on
residential
streets.
You
know,
physical
barriers
that
can
exist
24
hours
a
day
and
are
not
subject
to
the
whims
of
police,
details
or
budgets,
and
last
thing
I'll
say
is
that
in
the
last
municipal
election
I
knocked
on
hundreds
of
doors
and
speeding.
Drivers
were
consistently
one
of
the
top
concerns
for
residents.
AA
There
is
political
will
to
make
our
city
safer
for
all
road
users,
and
I
really
urge
this
committee
to
move
forward
boldly
on
this
issue.
And,
yes,
you
know
interface
with
neighborhood
groups
and
educate
neighborhood
groups
as
to
why
their
concerns
about
the
speeding
drivers
also
mean
that
they
will
have
to
slow
down
themselves.
AA
A
Thank
you
so
much,
mr
marshall.
I'm
gonna
now
open
it
up
to
the
lead
sponsors
first
and
those
would
be
councillor
flynn,
president
janine
and
councillor
bach,
to
give
their
closing
statements
and
then
I'll
open
it
up
to
the
rest
of
the
council.
If
they
have
any
statements
which
at
this
point
it
looks
like
it's
me
and
councilmember
so
and
counselor
wu.
I
see
you
there
so
with
that
counselor
flynn.
E
E
This
is
a
very
important
issue
for
me.
I
consider
it
part
of
a
racial
equity
agenda,
certainly
the
black
and
brown
agenda.
We
know
that
in
poor
communities
of
color
they're
often
more
dense,
often
times
residents
live
further
from
public
transit.
You
know
the
tea,
the
trains
themselves,
and
so
this
disproportionately
impacts
many
of
the
people
that
I
represent
in
district
7
and
when
our
streets
are
safer,
and
I
know
many
other
districts,
certainly
council,
flynn's,
district,
councilor
box
district
very
dense
and
these
are
old
neighborhoods.
E
For
staying
on
the
call,
the
entire
time
and
hearing
from
the
the
second
panel
hearing
from
the
advocates,
as
well
as
public
the
public,
I
know
how
busy
you
guys
are-
and
I
know
it's
often
difficult
for
people
on
the
mayor's
team
to
stay
on
the
entire
time.
So
thank
you
for
making
the
adjustments
in
your
schedule.
E
You
know
postcovid
and
making
sure
that
we're
doing
everything
to
make
sure
these
streets
are
safe
for
all
of
us
who
use
them
so
really
grateful
to
my
colleagues
on
the
council,
who
are
still
with
us
for
all
of
your
your
advocacy
and
again
thanks
to
the
co-sponsors
council,
bach
and
council
flynn.
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
A
I
I
I
I
think
I
and
I,
and
I
want
to
acknowledge
that
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
vis-a-vis
andrew's
point
about
the
the
drag
racing
that
we
see
on
comm
ave,
that
I
also
think
it's
important
for
us
not
to
be
so
much
in
corners
about
these
things
that
we
can't
acknowledge
the
complexity
of
these
situations.
So,
for
instance,
like
I,
don't
think
that
having
lots
of
folks
around
doing
tons
of
active
ticket
enforcement
is
going
to
work
as
a
way
to
as
a
way
to
manage
speed
in
our
city.
I
A
L
L
I
you
know
this
is
not
the
world
that
I
operated
in
right,
so
I
am
very
grateful
to
the
work
that
you
all
are
doing
and
what
I've
been
able
to
learn
since
I've
been
on
the
council
this
last
year
in
terms
of
all
the
other
issues
that
are
plaguing
our
community.
So
I
really
do
appreciate
your
advocacy
and
always
your
willingness
to
lean
into
the
issues
of
equity
and
really
always
being
super.
L
Mindful
of
the
voices
that
are
not
here,
I
always
look
in
a
zoom
or
in
a
room,
and
I
see
who's
missing
and
I
always
call
it
out
right
because
I
think
it's
important
for
us
to
hold
ourselves
accountable
to
who
it
is
that
we're
here
to
serve,
and
so
just
trust
that
you
always
have
a
partner
in
me
in
that,
and
thank
you
for
for
bringing
this
to
light.
I've
learned
a
lot
and
I
look
forward
to
continuing
to
move
the
work
forward.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
councillor,
mejia
and
I'll
I'll.
Keep
mine
brief.
First,
I
want
to
thank
central
staff
for
all
the
work
they've
been
doing
behind
the
scenes
to
make
sure
that
this
runs
smoothly,
and
I'd
also
like
to
thank
my
own
staff,
yasmine
radisi.
Who
who
takes
the
notes
of
the
questions?
I
ask
as
I
do
it
it's
almost
like
my
own
transcriber,
and
so
when
I
get
to
look
over
my
notes,
I
get
to
see
all
the
times
that
you
say
I'll
get
back
to
you
with
details
and
I
go
okay.
A
I
had
many
more
than
what
I
touched
on,
and
so
I
am
going
to
put
together
a
list
of
all
the
questions
that
either
we
were
going
to
get
responses
back
at
a
later
time
or
that
weren't
necessarily
asked
or
answered
and
I'll
make
sure
I
get
that
over
to
to
your
departments
so
that
we
can
get
those
answers
back
once
you're
able.
So
if
any
counselor
has
any
questions.
B
A
That
that
they
would
like
to
send
to
my
to
my
email
I'll,
send
them
all
together
as
one
set
of
questions
to
to
them
or
anything
that
they
ask.
That
did
like
a
follow-up
on.
So
thank
you
to
the
advocates
so
much
for
the
work
that
you've
done
to
advance
the
city.
I
think
councilman
he
is
accurate.
You
know
I.
A
I
did
not
come
from
a
world
of
pedestrian
advocacy
before
this,
and
so
it
has
been
very
much
appreciated,
just
how
organized
and
how,
on
top
of
it,
you
are-
and
I
think
most
of
the
advancements
that
we've
seen
for
pedestrian
safety
for
bicycles.
Basically,
safety
would
not
have
been
possible
without
your
advocacy
and
without
the
strength
of
your
voices
to
get
that
done.
So,
thank
you
so
much
for
that
in
the
ways
in
which
you've
made
the
city
a
safer
place
for
all.
A
I
want
to
thank
the
boston
transportation
department
for
being
here,
chief
osgood,
mr
gupta,
commissioner
rooney.
The
the
reality
is
that
you
know
you're
one
of
the
most
worked
departments
that
we
have
you're
very
under
resourced,
even
though
we
work
very
hard
to
try
and
get
you
what
we
can,
and
so
you
know
I
know
I
speak
for
most
of
our
counselors
when
I
say
you're,
probably
the
one
we
talked
to
the
most.
A
If
we
were
to
take
any
departments,
maybe
schools
would
be
up
there
as
well,
but
the
reality
is.
We
deeply
appreciate
the
work
you
do
and
I
I
deeply
appreciate
it
as
a
counselor
to
see
you
here.
Listening
to
advocates
listening
to
community
outreach,
I've
had
many
a
hearing
session
where
the
administration
does
not
stick
around
for
that,
and
I
just
want
to
publicly
commend
you
for
doing
that.
I
actually
was
very
happy
to
see
you
still
on.
A
I
did
not
expect
it,
and
so
I
I
deeply
appreciate
that
from
from
on
my
behalf
as
as
a
counselor,
but
also
as
a
boston
resident,
so
thank
you
so
much
for
taking
the
time
today
to
be
in
your
offices
at
6
50
p.m.
I
can
see
it
in
the
background
to
hear
folks
speak
on
these
issues,
and
so
thank
you
to
you.
I
and
I
just
want
to
close
in
memory
of
those
we've
lost
two
traffic
fatalities.
A
A
A
Thank
you
all
so
much
for
that.
I
think
it's
important
to
censor
just
how
important
the
work
is.
When
we
talk
about
this,
it
is
a
matter
of
life
and
death
for
many
or
or
lifelong
disability
or
traumatic
injury,
and
so
you
know
thank
you
to
the
advocates.
Thank
you
to
the
city
and
thank
you
to
the
public
commenters,
who
also
have
stuck
around
that
attendee
lisa
stayed
pretty
much
exactly
as
it
came
in.
A
C
Your
your
beautiful
remarks-
and
I
know
again
we
have
this
team
on
tomorrow
with
us
as
well,
for
the
discussion
on
melia,
cass,
boulevard
and
and
the
plans
there
so
we'll
move
from
broad
to
specific
in
terms
of
implementation
of
these
issues
and
very
grateful
to
everyone
who
testified
in
all
the
advocates
as
well.
Thank
you
very
much.
