A
My
name
is
Michelle
Wu
and
I'm,
a
city
councilor
at
large
and
lucky
to
chair
the
City
Council's
Committee
on
planning
development
and
transportation.
We
are
here
for
a
hearing
on
docket
number
one:
zero,
eight
seven
message
in
order
to
declare
surplus
several
city-owned
former
public
works
department.
A
So
just
to
remind
everyone.
This
is
a
public
hearing
of
the
Boston
City
Council,
which
means
it's
being
recorded
in
broadcast,
live
on
channels,
Comcast,
8,
RCN,
82
and
Verizon
1964,
as
well
as
streaming
on
the
city
of
Boston
website.
Please
silence
your
cell
phones
and
other
devices.
We
will
also
take
public
testimony
throughout
the
hearing.
So
if
you
would
like
to
make
remarks,
please
sign
in
on
the
appropriate
sheet
right
right
over
there
by
the
door
and
at
the
start
of
your
testimony,
if
you
would
state
your
name
address
and
affiliation
again.
A
These
three
parcels
make
up
an
18
and
a
half
acre
site
near
South
Boston,
the
south
end
parts
of
Roxbury
and
Dorchester.
It
currently
houses
the
city
of
Boston's,
tolet,
Public,
Works,
building,
salt
pile
and
some
other
municipal
operations.
It
makes
up
about
one
third
of
the
larger
wood
at
circle
area,
which
also
includes
mass
Department
of
State
Department
of
Transportation
land
food
marked
food
producers,
market
and
a
few
other
businesses
that
that
have
operations
there.
It
is
one
of
the
lowest
lying
areas
in
the
city.
A
This
means
that
resiliency
must
be
a
fundamental
component
in
any
potential
development
here,
but
also
that
the
use
of
this
parcel
will
have
an
impact
on
surrounding
neighborhoods,
not
just
when
it
comes
to
traffic
and
congestion
and
other
standard
livability
considerations,
but
for
climate
weather,
the
water
is
pushed
over
into
surrounding
neighborhoods
or
absorbed
through
green
infrastructure
and
thereby
protecting
the
surrounding
communities.
Finally,
as
committee
chair,
I
want
to
clarify
what
surplus
order
means.
A
The
vote
that
this
order
seeks
is
a
decision
on
whether
the
council
should
remove
this
from
public
land
owned
by
the
city
and
transfer
its
ownership
through
a
process
to
the
the
B
ra
or
the
Boston
Public
Development
Agency
for
potential
sale
or
lease
the
docket
before
us
is
not
about
whether
Boston
should
or
shouldn't
have
a
soccer
stadium
or
any
other
particular
use.
It
is
about
whether
this
parcel
should
remain
public
land
for
now
and
what
should
happen
to
it
once
the
City
Council
takes
a
vote
to
designate
a
parcel
as
surplus.
A
A
So
we
will
start
off
with
about
three
or
four
people
amounting
to
about
five
minutes
of
public
testimony
from
the
general
public,
then
we'll
transition
to
a
panel
of
experts
from
the
community,
then
another
chunk
of
general
public
testimony
then
hearing
from
the
administration
and
then
open
it
up
for
anyone
else
who
wishes
to
speak
from
the
public
and,
of
course,
we'll
have
councillors
questions
in
between
as
well
so
apologies.
But
if
one,
if
you
could.
A
And
while
we
are
seeing
who
the
first
lucky
people
were,
who
signed
up
to
testify,
I'll
read
into
the
record
a
letter
from
City
Council
at
large
Ayanna
Presley
dear
madam
chairwoman.
I
regret
that,
due
to
my
previously
scheduled
new
member
of
Congress
orientation
in
Washington,
DC
I
will
not
be
able
to
attend
today's
Committee
on
planning
development
and
transportation
hearing
regarding
the
transfer
of
surplus
land,
specifically
the
frontage
road
parcel
I
want
to
thank
the
chair
for
hosting
this
hearing
and
for
including
community
voices.
A
In
this
conversation,
disposing
of
city-owned
land
should
aim
to
maximize
public
benefit.
I
remain
concerned
that
their
current
process
of
land
disposition
and
redevelopment
asked
the
City
Council
to
approve
a
land
transfer
without
the
ability
to
fully
understand
future
bids
and
the
specific
use
of
parcels.
I
look
forward
to
reviewing
the
recording
hearing,
my
colleagues
questions
as
well
as
public
testimony,
so
we'll
take
the
first
three
people
who
are
signed
up
to
testify:
Steve
Hollinger,
Craig,
Ultimo's
and
Louise
Baxter.
A
B
My
name
is
Steve
Hollinger
I
live
in
Fort
Point
Seaport,
South,
Boston,
neighborhood
of
59
large
projects
developed
this
century
and
not
one
Civic
facility.
I
say
that,
in
the
context
of
my
comments,
the
City
of
Boston
wants
to
sell
18
acre
frontage
road
parcel
through
a
bidding
process.
Having
never
initiated
an
effort
to
plan
83
acre
wide
at
circle,
weather
to
determine
the
lands,
value
or
its
potential
for
highest
and
best
use
does
Boston.
Have
a
planning
agency
is
Boston
reeling
from
a
multi-generational
housing
crisis?
B
Does
a
BPD
a
have
a
responsibility
for
planning
large
multi,
acre
tracts
beyond
waiting
for
proposals,
Olympics
Amazon
Stadium
to
fall
from
the
sky?
We
now
have
a
history
of
posts
taught
at
BPD
a
and
when
it
comes
to
planning
and
rezoning
multi
acre
tracts,
the
new
BP
da
is
the
old
B
ra.
As
a
reminder,
the
BP
da
testified
to
Boston
City
Council
that
Winthrop
Square
was
valued
at
forty
million
dollar.
B
With
respect
to
its
hundred
and
fifty
three
million
dollar
bid
and
BPD
a
failed
to
reassess
the
sale
price
as
a
project
quietly
bloated
from
the
slender
eight
hundred
and
seventy
thousand
square
foot
tower
that
was
presented
to
the
public
in
2017,
so
the
1.6
million
square
foot
project
with
two
towers
that
was
approved
in
May,
two
thousand
18.
The
Midtown
plan
for
white
at
circle
presented
by
the
Olympics
bidding
team,
was
heralded
by
this
administration
as
a
civic
masterwork.
B
It
included
a
few
million
square
feet
of
commercial
uses
and
four
thousand
housing
units
a
number
of
units
that
would
certainly
ease
market
pressure
elsewhere.
That
estimate
of
development
potential
was
no
doubt
low-balled,
since
the
lands
value
in
the
deal
for
developers
would
depend
on
the
total
estimated
development
rights.
So
what
happened
to
the
Midtown
plan
in
following
years?
B
No
mention
of
Boston
2024
civic
master
work,
483
acre
white
at
circle,
I'm
not
opposed
to
exploring
the
idea
of
a
soccer
stadium
at
white
at
circle,
but
the
big
picture
matters,
land
value
matters,
potential
matters,
impacts
on
outlying
communities,
transportation,
plantings
matter,
sea
level,
rise
matters
as
white
at
circle
must
manage
flood
water
that
otherwise
will
enter
Dorchester
and
beyond,
and
my
recommendations
is
quickly.
No
action
on
18
acre
frontage
road
until
BPA
publishes
a
wide
at
circle.
Master
plan
and
green
of
eight
Boston
publishes
a
comprehensive
storm
water
mitigation
plan.
B
The
white
at
circle
master
plan
must
include
an
alternative
vision,
one
in
visiting
n
srl
and
one
at
commenting
land
for
South
Station
expansion
in
any
sale
of
public
land
at
white
at
circle.
The
city
should
to
remain
a
participant
in
equity
partner,
with
a
stake
in
the
outcome
of
the
future
development.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
I
really
appreciate
it.
Thank.
C
Thank
you
ruined
sorry,
chairwoman
will
and
members
of
the
Boston
City
Council.
My
name
is
Craig
Ultimo's
I'm,
with
communities
responding
to
extreme
weather
and
350
Massachusetts
I
stand
before
you
as
someone
regularly
losing
sleep
over
the
climate
crisis.
Despite
having
given
the
past
12
years
of
my
life,
trying
to
stop
it.
The
cold
hard
truth
is
that
we
have
failed
to
stop
climate
change.
It
is
here
and
no
matter
what
we
do.
It
is
going
to
get
worse.
C
The
only
questions
before
us
are:
how
quickly
can
we
decarbonize
our
economies
to
minimize
how
bad
it
gets
and
how
we
will
prepare
for
the
present
and
coming
changes?
It
is
the
second
question
that
would
like
to
discuss
with
you
all
today,
because
the
Walsh
administration's
current
plans
develop
a
coastal
piece
of
property
to
build
a
soccer
stadium
will
be
laughable
if
it
were
not
true.
The
fact
that
a
city
that
seeks
to
be
as
progressive
and
forward-thinking
as
Boston
is
still
entertaining
new
construction
on
coastal
property
in
general
is
a
form
of
climate
denial.
C
When
we
know
with
confidence
that
the
level
of
sea-level
rise,
we
will
experience
this
century.
Will
we
will
experience
this
century
will
be
measured
with
yardsticks.
This
property
could
help
mitigate
against
coastal
flooding
if
it
will
return
to
its
more
natural
form
of
wetlands
as
the
panel
before
you
will
explain
in
a
moment,
and
if
any
development
is
going
to
occur
in
this
property,
it
should
be
reserved
reserved
for
affordable
housing,
Boston
faces
at
least
two
crises
right
now:
a
global
climate
crisis
and
a
regional
housing
affordability
crisis.
C
We
are
not,
however,
facing
a
soccer
stadium
crisis.
The
price
of
housing
continues
to
rise,
making
Boston
unaffordable
more
and
more
families
with
each
passing
year,
which
has
both
obvious
social
costs
and
less
obvious
climate
costs,
as
those
displaced
have
to
commute
further
to
get
to
their
jobs,
increasing
climate
pollution.
In
the
process,
we
asked
the
City
Council
to
delay
a
vote
to
allow
for
more
public
input,
input
and
information,
including
a
study
of
how
we
might
be
able
to
co-locate
some
affordable
housing
on
the
more
inland
portion
of
the
land
the
land
closes.
D
D
Don't
want
my
walks
all
be
too
far
for
me.
The
nearer
it
is,
it
gets
delivered.
Nice
I
think
it's
right
there,
and
this
is
businesses
they
keep
even
the
food.
Did
they
keep
the
city
going,
but
they're
not
glamorous,
and
if,
before
we
put
housing
there,
I
would
I'm
for
keeping
it
for
public
poppy
because
of
that
danger
before
we
put
any
type
of
housing
there,
I
wouldn't
want
to
research.
The
health
factors
like
being
near
a
highway,
the
pollution
and
the
train
tracks,
and
you
felt
housing
there.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Louise
okay
I
want
to
finally
recognize
that
councillor
Malley
is
with
us
in
the
chamber
as
well
and
also
always
like
to
extend
a
very
special
welcome
back
to
former
councillors
so
and
not
only
a
councillor,
Chuck
Turner,
whom
you'll
hear
from
shortly,
but
also
councillor
Mike
McCormick
in
the
audience,
hello,
okay,
turning
it
over
to
the
panel.
If
you
all
would
maybe
just
do
one
round
down
of
introducing
yourselves
and
any
affiliation
and
then
in
whatever
order.
Anyone
would
like
to
start
to
dive
in.
F
F
I'll
take
a
moment
quickly
to
to
frame
I
think
what
you'll
hear
in
some
of
the
the
conversations
that
that
each
of
our
panelist
will
raise.
So
I
want
to
begin
by
saying
that
I
am
a
resident
of
Dorchester.
I
live
in
st.
William's
parish,
which
I
know
is
now
Mother
Teresa,
but
it
was
same
Williams
when
I
got
there.
So
it's
still
saying
Williams
parish
to
me.
F
I
grew
up
in
Roxbury
I
lived
in
in
Grove
hall
and
through
the
tough
times
of
the
90s
and
I
have
watched
the
massive
transition
of
Boston
over
my
lifetime.
I
am
gonna
be
40
next
year,
which
is
also
unbelievable
to
me,
but
I
have
lived
and
watched.
What's
happened
to
the
city
over
the
last
40
years,
I
remember
when
people
were
afraid
to
come
to
the
city
when
people
that
I
went
to
school
with
we're
where
their
parents
wouldn't
allow
them
to
come
visit
me
in
Roxbury
cuz.
F
They
were
afraid
they
were
gonna
get
shot.
I
lived
in
Grove
Hall
in
the
epicenter
of
the
violence
that
shook
the
city
and
I'm
concerned
that
we
make
sure
we
never
go
back
to
those
days
because
they
were
dark
days
and
challenging
times,
but
I
also
as
a
child.
Never
ever
visited
the
neighborhoods
of
South
Boston
Charlestown
or
the
North
End,
because
I
also
had
a
fear
that
I
wouldn't
be
safe.
There
too,
and
we've
come
a
long
way.
F
I
have
friends
that
live
in
those
communities,
but
I
say
this
because
I
I
have
watched
the
city
shift
in
many
many
ways,
some
for
the
good.
The
reality
is
that
I
do
feel
safe,
going
to
Charlestown
and
they've,
had
an
opportunity
to
hang
out
in
the
north
end,
specifically
on
st.
stays
and
and
have
really
good
time
there.
F
We
always
used
to
do
Halloween
together
and
go
to
the
dot
Day
Parade
together
and
they
got
moved
out
and
the
people
that
moved
in
paid
more
than
$600,000
to
live.
Next.
To
me
and
said
to
me,
you
must
be
so
excited
that
your
property
values
have
Right
risen
and
my
note
to
them
was
I
moved
into
this
neighborhood
I.
Remember
when
kids
used
to
ride
their
bikes
down
the
street
and
now
there's
almost
no
children
in
my
neighborhood,
because
people
who
have
kids
can't
afford
to
live
there.
F
So
when
I
think
of
all
of
the
in
justices
of
who's
benefiting
from
the
city
as
it
is
right
now,
that's
one
level
of
concern
and
one
thing
that
we
should
be
thinking
about,
but
the
other
side
of
the
fear
that
I
deal
with
is,
as
Craig
mentioned
every
day.
Well,
not
every
day,
but
many
days,
I,
wake
up
and
I
go
running,
and
one
of
my
favorite
places
to
go
running
is
Carson
Beach,
not
now,
because,
as
you
know,
it's
windy
during
the
summer,
but
it's
also
windy
during
the
winter.
F
So
we
have
shut
down
the
Carson
Beach
running
schedule.
At
this
point,
cuz
I,
just
can't
I
just
can't
hold
out
those
Gus
come
Carson
is
a
beautiful
place,
but
last
year
I
had
a
moment
where
I
sat
on
the
beach
and
I
actually
cried,
because
I
realized
that
children
in
the
future
probably
won't
be
able
to
go
to
Carson
Beach
with
the
sea
level
rise.
That
is
projected.
F
We
probably
won't
be
able
to
use
that
area
as
an
area
for
recreation
because
it
will
be
under
water,
as
will
many
parts
of
the
neighborhoods
in
Dorchester
that
I
spend
time
where
I
go
grocery
shopping,
where
I
go
walking
where
I
get
far,
many
of
those
communities
will
be
underwater,
and
that
is
something
that
I
live
with
on
a
daily
basis.
There's
not
a
day
that
goes
by
that
I,
don't
think
about
it,
and
so
the
reality
is
Boston's.
Future
is
the
subject
of
this
conversation.
This
is
not
just
about
18
acres
of
land.
F
F
The
big
danger
is
when
there
are
major
gaps
between
those
three
things
when
who
we
are
drastically
differs
from
who
we
should
be
and
when
who
we
want
to
be
drastically
different
differs
from
who
we're
called
to
be
this
land
making.
The
decision
about
this
land
is
closing
is
about
closing
the
gap
between
who
Boston
is,
who
Weston
wants
to
be
and
who
Boston
is
called
to
be,
not
just
in
this
city,
but
around
the
state
and
around
the
world.
F
We
do
not
believe
that
this
land
should
be
handed
over
to
the
B
ra.
For
the
kinds
of
processes
we
have
seen
in
the
past,
we
believe
that
this
is
an
important
and
powerful
opportunity
for
our
city
to
get
it
right
about
who
we
are
and
who
we
want
to
be
into
the
future.
So
I
will
now
hand
it
over
for
you
to
hear
from
all
of
these
different
panelists
who
will
raise
the
different
challenges.
F
G
Note
to
self
never
follow
Reverend
Maruyama
again,
so
thank
you,
madam
chair
and
city
counselors,
for
giving
us
this
time.
We
have
some
slides
that
we're
going
to
go
through,
particularly
if
I
can
figure
out
how
this
works,
we're
off
to
a
good
start
and
we're
gonna
in
the
interest
of
time
speed
through
them
a
bit.
So
there
is
more
detail
in
the
in
the
handouts
that
you
have
and
definitely
happy
to
take
questions
at
the
end
as
well.
G
Crw
a's
approach
then,
and
now
is
based
on
science
data
evidence,
not
political
expediency.
Those
are
often
at
odds
not
just
at
the
federal
level
but
locally.
There's
some
foreshadowing
all
right.
Let's
go
to
the
next
one
here
up.
That's
us!
Okay,
speeding!
Right
by
super
quickly,
there
was
a
report,
yet
another
dire
report
was
released
on
Friday
the
National
Climate
Assessment
that
had
more
of
the
same,
but
just
more
dire
about
what
we've
seen
in
the
past
and
particularly
for
the
Northeast
generally
means
more
water,
more
heat,
both
of
which
will
affect
this
property.
G
This
next
slide,
that's
like
I,
said
in
your
packet
goes
into
some
detail
about
impermeable
surfaces,
meaning
particularly
why
they're
bad
when
it
comes
to
climate
change.
Just
very
briefly,
when
you've
got
buildings,
roads,
tennis,
courts,
etc.
Water
cannot
absorb
into
the
land
and
keep
in
mind
that
before
Europeans
came
to
these
lands,
it
was
virtually
all
water
streams.
H
H
The
this
is
just
a
shot
here
of
the
city's
2013
climate,
ready
Boston
report
that
identified
some
of
the
vulnerable
at
City
of
Boston
properties
and
right
on
the
list
here
from
the
2013
report,
as
councillor
Wu
mentioned,
is
the
400
frontage
road
property?
Additionally,
just
a
few
slides
from
the
climate
ready,
Boston,
vulnerability,
analysis
online
mapper.
This
shows
it's
from
stormwater
flooding
that
we
expect
to
see
from
severe
storms
which
are
already
getting
more
severe
and
expected
to
continue.
H
Another
important
issue,
of
course,
is
sea
level
rise.
Zooming
in
on
the
sea
level
rise,
as
has
been
mentioned
by
others,
zooming
in
on
the
area
focused
on
sea
level
rise.
This
is
one
of
the
lowest
areas
in
the
city
of
Boston.
It
is
likely
to
flood
soon.
It
is
also
likely
to
allow
flood
waters
to
reach
other
areas
sooner
than
they,
otherwise
sooner
than
it
otherwise
may
have
oops
I'm
going
the
wrong
way.
H
There
is
some
some
question
in
our
history.
We
do
our
best
to
predict
the
future,
but
we
cannot
as
Emily
referenced,
though
every
time
we
hear
something
new
about
climate
change,
it's
getting
worse,
not
getting
better.
So
when
the
Boston,
when
Boston
put
out
the
vulnerability
analysis
in
2016,
there
was
certainly
a
wide
range
of
what
we
might
see
from
sea
level
rise,
ranging
from
two
and
a
half
feet
up
to
ten
and
a
half
feet.
That
trend
is
definitely
now
veering
toward
the
higher
end.
We
don't
have
to
wait
for
the
future.
H
H
So
now
I'm
going
to
dive
into
some
of
the
work
that
Charles
River
Watershed
Association
has
done
on
this
parcel
at
Charles
River
Watershed
Association.
We
like
to
learn
lessons
from
nature.
There's
a
long
history
there
with
nature
must
longer
than
our
human
history.
So
we
think
there's
some
wisdom
there
to
call
from
so
as
counselor
we
already
mentioned
this
area
was
once
water.
It
was
once
the
South
Bay.
The
South
Bay
is
not
just
a
shopping
center;
it
is
also
an
inlet
from
Boston
Harbor.
H
H
So
these
waterways
are
still
there
they're
just
underground
now,
so
we're
here
today
to
make
two
recommendations
to
the
to
the
City
Council
and
considering
this
decision
option,
one
would
be
to
consider
preserving
this
area
and
restoring
this
area
as
a
natural
flood
control
barrier.
This
is
the
option
we're
calling
restore
the
bay
an
example.
H
If
you
were
to
preserve
a
300
acre
land
mass
in
this
area,
you
could
store
water
from
a
10
inch
storm
for
the
surrounding
1,000
acres,
so
those
individuals
living
in
the
surrounding
1,000
acres
could
be
protected
in
that
kind
of
extreme
rain
event.
You
could
also
build
flexibility
to
sea
level
rise
in
this
vulnerable
point
along
our
code,
while
also
creating
new
and
open
spaces
and,
of
course,
improved
water
quality
and
habitat.
H
You
could
potentially
protect
the
surrounding
area
against
a
modest
rainfall
event
like
a
one-year
storm,
bringing
those
bringing
those
culvert
streams
out
of
that
fixed
sized
culvert
and
providing
some
natural
flood
brint
flood
Bank
will
improve
your
ability
to
manage
storm
water,
reduce
flooding,
possibly
reduce,
combined
sewer
overflows,
while
also
creating
new
open
space
and
improving
water
quality
and
habitat.
So
here's
what
the
area
right
by
the
DPW
building
looks
like
today.
If
you
were
to
culvert
that
stream,
you
can
see
it
would
look
a
lot
nicer
daylight.
They
liked
that
culvert.
H
Thank
you
and
I
just
want
to
close
by
saying
all
of
our
recommendations
are
consistent
with
the
recent
report
out
from
the
city
entitled
resilient
Boston
Harbor
for
creating
resilient
and
Riaan
vision.
Fort
Point
channel
engaging
the
neighborhood
in
protecting
this
area
and
beginning
some
of
the
important
work
to
protect
this
area
from
both
storm
water
and
coastal
flooding.
Thank
you
and.
G
It's
basically
sort
of
hashtag
does
not
compute
to
say
that
you're
focusing
on
climate
resiliency
and
then
move
ahead
with
business
as
usual
in
developing
an
area
that
used
to
be
open
water
when
we
know
that
the
water
is
coming
back.
So,
in
short,
you
have
an
opportunity
to
protect
public
health,
save
money
and
build
beautiful
green
space
for
Boston
residents,
employees
and
visitors.
Thank
you.
E
I
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
Lee
Matsui
Etta
I'm
here,
testifying
on
behalf
of
alternatives
for
community
environment
and
I.
You
know
I,
think
one
thing
I'll
just
say
is
you
know
that
our
our
members
have
worked
really
hard
to
really
improve
their
communities
right?
We
have
young
people,
who've
done
such
amazing
work
to
take
back.
You
know,
vacant
lots
and
make
them
into
productive
urban
gardens
and-
and
we've
had
members
who
are
doing
work
to
talk
about
how
we
control
local
development
in
Roxbury
and
and
beyond.
I
We
have
members
who
are
also
working
on
public
transit
issues
to
make
that
accessible
for
everyone
and
I
mention
that,
because
it
speaks
to
this
issue
that
I
think
my
was
bringing
up
that
we
have
people
who
have
made
this
city,
the
city
it
is,
and
now
they
are
fearing
for
their
ability
to
remain
in
this
city.
We
had
a
wonderful
hearing
in
Roxbury.
It
was
both
difficult
to
listen
to,
but
also
really
important,
that
sort
of
shed
light
on
some
of
those.
I
So
some
of
those
stories-
and
so
I
mentioned
that,
because
you
know
I,
think
for
us,
we
have
a
vision
of
what
planning
and
development
looks
like
and
it
should
be
rooted
in
the
hands
of
experts
and
I'm.
Not
just
talking
about
city
planners
I
am
talking
about
those
who
are
confronting
rent
increases,
those
who
are
confronting
and
dealing
with
eviction,
maybe
even
homelessness
and
those
struggling
through
these
city
processes
that
the
BPA
is
leading
in
terms
of
neighborhood
planning
and
so
I
see
this
frontage
road
conversation
as
exactly
what
Maruyama
was
talking
about.
I
It's
much
bigger
and
it's
not
just
a
platform
for
us
to
talk
about
all
these
variety
of
issues.
I
really
think
it's
an
opportunity
for
the
city
and
the
City
Council
to
create
a
more
equitable
and
stainable
development
process
and
end
results
as
well,
and
so
more
specifically,
you
actually
have
the
power
to
adopt
and
enforce
a
clear
set
of
principles
and
even
standards
to
guide
future
development
on
this
slide
and
I.
Think
that's
really
important
and
I
appreciate
you
taking
the
time
to
listen
to
these
different
perspectives.
I
A
couple
of
the
things
I'm
going
to
speak
to
I've
been
asked
to
speak,
to
relate
to
transportation
impacts
and
public
health
impacts,
so
I'm
gonna
do
some
of
that.
But
I
think
this
is
the
type
of
information,
and
this
really
compelling
information
from
the
Charles
River
Watershed
Association
is
exactly
what
we
need
to
take
to.
You
know
the
public
people
need
to
understand
this
and
engage
in
a
process
to
learn
more
about.
What's
going
on
before
any
vote
is
taken
to
make
sure
that
this
land
is
transferred
to
the
DPD.
I
A
on
the
transportation
front.
I
was
saying
earlier.
Our
members
are
mostly
bus
riders
people
who
depend
on
public
transit,
and
so
for
us
we
talked
about
congestion,
often
in
the
context
of
being
stuck
in
a
bus
somewhere
in
some
traffic,
and
that
obviously
keeps
service
running
off
off
the
peak
off
time
and
is
limiting
people
from
getting
to
where
they
need
to
go
traffic
and
congestion
right.
It
was
mentioned
earlier.
People
experienced
this
in
our
city,
I.
I
Think
people
acknowledge
that
we
need
more
and
better
infrastructure
to
make
sure
we're
getting
people
around
more
efficiency
efficiently.
Excuse
me,
and
to
that
end,
I
think
people
also
understand
and
have
heard
these
crazy
facts
about
how
bad
it
is
in
the
city,
seventh,
worst
city
in
the
nation
in
terms
of
congestion,
2017
Bostonians
spent
an
average
of
60
hours
in
congestion
and
that
weighs
a
huge
price
on
our
region
and
on
individuals.
I
The
folks
who
did
this
scorecard
talked
about
how
it's
actually
an
annual
cost
to
drivers
individually
of
over
$2000
and
a
cost
to
the
region
of
over
5.7
billion
dollars.
So
I
think
this
can't
be
ignored,
I
think
the
transportation
studies
for
whatever
we
do
with
this
lot
have
to
be
really
really
rich
and
an
important
lens
to
look
at
this
through
the
second
one
is
public
health
for
a
suite.
We
came
to
the
issue
of
transportation
because
our
neighbor
had
had
the
highest
rates
of
childhood
asthma
and
six
times
the
state
average.
I
As
a
matter
of
fact,
and
so
this
wasn't
by
mistake-
we
were
rocks
Berry's
home,
two
bus
depots,
his
home
two
parking
lots,
industrial
uses
and
the
largest
tea
Depot
in
the
system,
and
so
beyond.
Again,
these
companies
really
compelling
climate
considerations,
which
we
consider
a
public
health
consideration,
the
only
other
one
that
we
would
we
like
to
think
about
is
in
terms
of
air
quality
and
air
pollution,
and
so
we
have
to
understand
the
quality
and
the
implications
of
building
right
next
to
a
highway
right,
in
particular
the
way
the
wind
blows.
I
It
goes
right
over
that
parcel
from
the
highway
right,
and
one
interesting
thing
is
to
understand
in
the
context
of
an
unregulated
sort
of
pollutant
that
we
don't
get
to
really.
We
need
to
study
more
and
we're
talking
about
ultrafine
particulates.
These
are
things
that
it's
it's
suspected
that
they're
they're
emitted
by
vehicles.
It's
not
regulated,
and
it's
expected
to
be
worse
than
the
actual
larger
particulate
matter
that
we
often
associate
with
triggering
asthma
attacks
and
these
sorts
of
things.
I
The
research
has
also
shown
that
these
ultra
fine
particulate
matter
also
increase
the
risk
of
developing
heart
disease,
and
so
these
are
shorter
term
impacts
that
we're
talking
about,
and
there
are
others
as
well,
but
I
wanted
to
bring
that
one
up
in
particular,
because
it's
unregulated
right
now,
I
think
I'll.
Just
close
by
mentioning
a
couple
things
one
is
you
know
we
see
this.
This
is
a
major
resource
for
this
city
right,
our
land,
one
of
probably
the
most
valuable
assets
that
we
have
and
I
think
I've
heard
others
say
and
I
agree.
I
I
Think
we
see
this
parcel
is
operating,
offering
an
amazing
and
powerful
opportunity
to
engage
the
public,
really
listen
and
co-create
a
plan
that
will
create
more
equitable
and
sustainable
developed
to
meet
the
needs
of
our
communities
so
I'll
hand
in
our
testimony
and
also
can
attach
some
other
resources
that
people
can
look
at
about
building
your
highways
and
about
the
transportation
impacts
as
well.
Thank.
J
So
for
all
of
these
reasons,
I'm
really
thankful
on
council
whoo
that
you've
opened
this
process
up
to
the
community,
so
that
so
that
the
council
can
hear
these
very
real
personal
stakes
that
we
have
and
also
that
we
can
look
systemically
so
that
we
can
kind
of
zoom
out
of
short-term
for
profit
and
actually
look
at
what's
best
for
all
of
us.
What's
best
for
all
of
us
as
people
as
residents.
J
As
stakeholders
in
the
city,
so
I
really
appreciate
that,
so
so,
as
I
said,
I'm
testifying
both
as
a
member
of
city,
life,
feeder,
Urbana
and
as
a
member
of
the
citywide
right
to
the
city
coalition.
So
as
an
organization
city
life
has
a
stake
in
identifying
the
current
and
also
future
projected
drivers
of
displacement.
J
It's
not
a
secret
that
we
are
in
an
acute
housing,
affordability
and
displacement
crisis,
and
although
our
members
are
not
climate
justice
experts,
we're
forced
to
be
intersectional
now
we're
forced
to
to
project
how
climate
change
can
be
a
driver
of
displacement,
and
we
we're
new
to
this.
So
we're
learning
from
our
colleagues
on
this
panel
and
and
and
elsewhere
around
this
city
and
also
we're
looking
we're
learning
from
what
coastal
cities
in
the
US
who
are
already
experiencing
the
impacts
of
climate
change
are
going
through
and
I
have
to
say.
J
This
is
scary,
stuff,
it's
scary
to
think
that
in
in
15
years
we
might
be
at
a
point
of
no
return.
It's
scary
to
just
to
see
this
parcel
of
land.
That
already
is
going
already
experiences
major
flooding
and
it's
scary
to
think
that
that,
because
of
the
because
of
our
infrastructure,
it's
possible
that
the
low-income
areas
around
this
parcel
could
be
affected.
J
Certainly,
if
we're
not
careful
and
thoughtful
about
how
we
dispose
of
this
land.
So
so
we
have
a
stake
in
getting
it
right
and
we're
excited
to
be
part
of
this
panel
I'm
trying
to
figure
out
the
best
way,
the
best
use
of
this
public
asset
and
as
a
member
of
right
to
the
city.
We
we
also
have
a
state
and
and
kind
of
ensuring
that
as
residents,
we
are
keeping
what
we
call
our
fundamental
rights
in
the
in
the
forefront.
So
we
want
to.
J
We
want
to
highlight
our
rights
as
a
city
to
broad
democratic
participation
and
neighborhood,
wide
and
city
wide
decisions
that
directly
impact
our
lives.
We
want
to
highlight
our
right
to
the
public
good,
which
means
that
public
assets-
and
this
is
a
major
public
asset,
as
we
mentioned,
that
public
assets
are
used
for
the
highest
benefit
of
all
residents
and
not
just
a
few.
J
We
want
to
highlight
our
right
to
live
in
a
healthy
community
and
and
our
right
to
be
part
to
be
co-creators
with
our
city
in
processes
that
plan
proactively
to
anticipate
and
mitigate
the
harm,
the
harmful
impacts
of
climate
change,
taking
into
account
the
needs
of
the
most
vulnerable
people,
and
we
want
to
highlight
our
right
to
remain
in
a
stable
community,
free
of
fears
of
displacement
and
also
thinking
together.
Some
of
us
for
the
first
time
about
how
climate
is
a
new
driver
of
dis
or
can
be
a
new
driver
of
displacement.
J
So
I'm
wearing
both
of
these
hats.
When
I
say
that
we're
very
concerned
about
the
disposition
of
the
frontage
road
parcels,
both
the
process
of
who
gets
to
decide
and
how
and
also
about
that
about
the
decision
itself.
What
ultimately
will
get
decided,
because,
because
I
think
it's
important
I
think
we
probably
all
know
this,
because
we've
all
seen
those
maps
that
very
scary
map
that
that
overlays,
the
the
low-income
community
with
a
sealant
the
impacts
of
sea
level
rise.
J
But
let
me
just
say
it
again:
the
people
who
will
be
most
impacted
by
whatever
decision
are
those
low-income
communities
in
Roxbury
and
South
Boston
and
the
South
Bend
and
parts
of
Dorchester,
and
it
is
so
therefore
it's
critical
that
we,
our
residents,
are
part
of
the
process
right.
We
are
the
most
impacted,
so
we
have
to
be
part
of
the
decision-making
process.
J
So
we're
also
we
also
so
we
are
where
typically,
where
come,
we
come
before
you
as
city
life
or
right
to
the
city
advocating
for
affordable
housing,
we're
in
a
displacement
crisis.
We
are
and
we're
in
an
affordable
housing
crisis.
We're
actually
not
here
today,
advocating
for
affordable
housing
necessarily
on
the
site.
We
feel
like.
J
We
don't
have
enough
information,
we
actually
we
actually
don't
know
what
the
impact
of
developing
housing
or
developing
anything
on
this
lot
will
be
on
the
on
the
surrounding
low-income
communities,
renters
of
color
and
working-class
renters,
but
what
we
are
learning
from
our
from
from
from
fellow
coastal
cities.
You
know
like
Miami
that
are
that
right
now
is
in
the
is
in
the
midst
of
climate
gentrification.
What
we're
learning
is,
we
have
to
be
thoughtful
and
we
have
to
plan
in
advance.
We
have
to
list
out
the
questions
we
have
to
say.
J
What
do
we
know
and
what
don't
we
know?
So
we
actually
think
the
city
should
should
figure
out
and
share
with
the
public.
What
would
be
the
impact
of
building
housing
on
this
land
both
to
prospective
residents
and
to
the
surrounding
community?
What
improvements
to
stormwater
drainage
infrastructure
would
be
needed
for
us
to
be
safe.
What
other
mitigations
would
be
needed
to
keep
existing
in
prospective
residents
safe?
Are
there
are
there?
Are
there?
Are
there
ways,
as
we
heard
from
the
Charles
River
Watershed
Association?
J
J
So
so
we
urge
the
council
to
conduct
an
impact
analysis
on
the
true
cost
of
developing
on
this
land,
focusing
both
on
the
the
cost
of
displacement
and
also
environmental
impacts.
We
urge
that
the
council
release
the
results
to
the
public
and
and
along
with
the
community
co-lead
a
planning
process
with
impacted
residents
and
other
key
stakeholders
that
we
can
use
together
to
plan
what
the
highest
and
best
use
of
this
land
would
surely
be.
So
thank
you
for
your
time.
Thank.
E
Thank
you.
I
wanted
to
start
by
thanking
councillor
woo
to
for
holding
this
hearing
and
from
personal
standpoint
thanking
her
for
inviting
me
to
come
to
the
planning
sessions
that
occurred
before
this
panel
reason.
Why
I'm
saying
it's
personal
is
that
I've
assumed
I
was
knowledgeable
about
the
issues
of
climate
change.
That
I
was
concerned
as
I.
Think.
All
of
us
are
that
I
tried
to
do
my
part
in
in
various
ways,
sometimes
not
not
as
well
as
I
would
have
liked
to,
but
was
trying
to
be
part
of
the
movement.
E
But
for
me
about
three
weeks
ago.
My
understanding
of
the
danger
that
we
all
are
in
reached
a
low
reached,
a
level
that
I
had
never
that
never
occurred
to
me
before,
because
I
had
the
the
honor
of
being
with
people
who
understood
the
dangers
to
the
nature,
to
the
land,
to
the
earth
that
were
on
and
were
able
to
talk
in
very
specific
ways
about
what
the
future
has
in
hand
and
to
begin
to
have
me
as
well
as
other
people
think
about
what
our
priorities
are.
E
You
know
if
we're
talking
about
development
of
Boston,
if
we're
talking
about
development
of
the
region,
if
we're
not
just
talking
about
2030
but
we're
talking
about
2050
and
2070,
then
we
we
have
to
begin
to
look
from
my
perspective.
My
game
perspective
on
the
questions
of
our
how
we
protect
the
the
earth,
how
we
protect
the
earth
that
we're
on
how
we
protect
the
land
of
Boston,
how
we
create
a
basis
for
our
children,
our
grandchildren,
our
great-grandchildren
to
live
here
in
peace
and
harmony,
not
only
with
each
other
but
with
the
earth.
E
There
are
three
particular
steps
that
I
would
recommend,
along
with
the
the
other
panelist,
who
recommended
two
of
them:
I
have
a
third
one
that
is
I,
think
somewhat
different.
The
first
is
that
this
is
a
tremendous
opportunity
for
the
council
to
lead
the
city,
the
communities
in
the
education
around
what
the
future
potentially
holds
for
us
if
we
aren't
wise
and
understanding
based
on
looking
at
the
challenges
that
we
face,
I
started
off
talking
about
my
ignorance,
because
I
think
it's
very
important
that
that
all
of
us
begin
to
raise
the
question.
E
Do
we
really
understand
what
the
climate
change
will
do
for
this
to
this
city?
Due
to
this
due
to
the
neighborhoods
due
to
the
people
of
our
city,
that,
if
we're
really
talking
about
building
a
city
for
the
future,
then
we
really
have
to
begin
by
understanding
our
relationship
to
nature,
because
we
know
nature
creates
the
reality
as
time
goes
forward
there.
E
Get
us
to
begin
to
think
about
issues
that
we
aren't
thinking
about
and
really
join
behind
you
and
join
the
leadership
that
you
can
provide
us
in
really
becoming
an
educated
citizenry,
which
I
don't
think
we
are.
If
you
really
look
at
the
issues
of
the
climate
and
what
is
happening
here
in
Boston.
Second,
it's
been
pointed
out
that
this
situation
is
really
pretty
presenting.
This
situation,
in
terms
of
the
authority
of
the
council
over
the
land,
is
really
creating
a
situation
where
the
opportunity
to
build
to
bring
different
aspects
of
our
community
together.
E
Those
who
deal
with
climate,
those
who
deal
with
housing,
those
who
deal
with
businesses,
etc,
to
bring
to
bring
us
together
to
really
develop
a
planning
process
where,
from
a
grassroots
level,
from
a
community
perspective,
we
are
really
able
to
share
with
it
with
each
other's
our
thought
to
see
what
our
differences
are
but
see
how
we
can
in
fact
work
through
those
those
do.
This
is
a
tremendous
I
think
opportunity
at
growth.
The
mirror
is
appropriately
very
concerned
about.
How
do
we
come
come
together
as
people?
E
How
do
we
really
move
beyond
the
the
negative
views
that
we
have
of
each
other
that
come
from
the
past,
the
opportunity
to
come
together
and
study
together
and
think
about
how
we
build
together
a
future
that
can
be
not
only
beneficial
to
us,
but
for
our
future
generations,
really
I.
Think
I
can
do
a
tremendous
amount
in
moving
the
goal
that
the
the
mayor
has
forward.
E
The
third,
the
third
step
that
I
think,
is
essential
from
for
the
council
from
the
standpoint
of
the
job
situation
for
the
people,
the
people
of
Boston,
another
way
of
framing
it
would
be
to
talk
about
what
is
the
effect
of
commercialism
on
the
people
of
this
city,
because,
as
you
as
you
look
at
the
frontage
road
issue,
there
is
going
to
be
a
tremendous
cry
of
stop
wasting
the
time.
You
know
it's
time
to
move
forward.
E
We
that's
land
that
can
be
the
basis
of
development
that
can
bring
more
money,
bring
more
jobs,
bring
more
growth
to
the
city.
What
are
you
all
thinking
about
by
not
moving
this
process
forward?
I
think
you
have
a
responsibility
to
really
help
the
people
of
this
city
and
of
the
state
to
really
understand
what
commercial
development
is
doing
for
the
people
for
the
working-class
people,
for
people
of
color
for
the
the
base,
the
base
of
the
people
of
the
city,
not
the
upper
incomes,
but
those
who
are
struggling
to
to
stay
here.
What?
E
E
My
view
is
that
if
the
mistake
is
made
to
go
ahead
with
the
commercial
development
in
frontage
road,
we're
building
a
second
seaport,
we
are,
we
will
be
building,
not
we
will
be,
building
developers
will
come
come
in
and
the
model
that
they
will
use
as
a
model
that
we
see
at
the
Seaport.
What
do
we
see
at
the
Seaport
in
terms
of
jobs
and
the
effect
on
the
people
of
this
city?
Well,
let's
start
out
with
construction.
When
I
was
going
to
the
court
back
in
2010,
it
was
open
land.
E
You
know
Barry
open
land
when
I
come
back.
Now,
it's
a
it's
a
developed
area.
There
were,
there
have
been
thousands
of
construction
workers,
really
thousands
of
construction
workers
earning
tremendously
valuable
salaries
who
have
built
the
Seaport
into
the
area
that
that
it
is
just
like
construction
workers
would
build
the
frontage
road
area
into
a
commercial.
E
E
They
were
not
Boston
workers,
we
have
the
data
and
the
Boston
residency
job
policy
office
that
can
show
you
that
the
men
and
women
who
were
who
were
making
the
thousands
of
dollars
are
from
working
on
that
project
were
suburban
Knights,
some
were
of
color,
but
they
were
suburban
Knights.
They
were
not
the
people
of
Boston,
it
was.
We
have
a
category
called
standards
called
50%
for
the
residents
of
Boston.
E
Look
at
the
look
at
what
the
statistics
were
in
the
Seaport
and
then
raised
the
question
whether
the
Seaport
really
Bennett
benefited
the
working
people
of
Boston,
who
were
construction
workers
I.
Think
if
you
really
do
a
study,
as
your
third
piece
really
do
a
study
of
the
construction
of
the
Seaport
and
then
share
it
with
people,
there'll
be
a
an
awakening
that
I
think
many
of
us
don't
acknowledge
at
this
point.
That
is
that
work
is
going
on.
Building
is
going
on,
but
we
aren't
the
ones
who
are
benefiting
it
from
it.
E
Even
though
the
city
is
trying
very
hard
to
have
standards,
but
the
reality
is
that
it
didn't
doesn't
happen
and
that
frontage
road
is
likely
to
be
a
symbol,
a
similar
example,
but
the
areas
to
a
large
extent
constructed
there'll
be
more
but
who's
working
there
who
is
working
there.
You
ought
to
be
doing
a
survey
on
who
are
the
people
who
are
working
there?
Are
there
people
from
Boston
when
we
look
at
the
people
from
Boston
who
are
working
there?
What
are
the
jobs
that
they
are
working
in?
E
Are
they
working
in
the
twenty
five
thirty
for
a
dollar
our
jobs,
or
are
they
working
in
the
$11
$12
$13
on
jobs?
I?
Believe
that
if
you
do
the
study,
if
you
really
looked
at
the
question
of
what's
happening
in
the
Seaport
now,
what
you
will
see
is
that
the
people
of
Boston,
the
working
people
of
Boston,
the
low-income
people
of
Boston
that
you
are
serving
is
not
served
by
that
commercial
development.
E
E
So
let
me
let
me
end
by
just
saying
that
I
really
do
think
this
is
a
tremendous
opportunity
for
the
council
that
sometimes
has
pushed
pushed
into
the
the
corner
that
doesn't
get
an
opportunity
to
really
demonstrate
its
creativity
and
capability
that
this
is
an
opportunity
where
you
really
can
begin
to
provide
the
leadership
that
you
all
want
to
provide
in
a
major
way.
One
by
educating
us
around
the
what
climate
change
means
in
a
real
way
for
all
of
us
in
this
city.
E
Secondly,
by
being
a
force
in
pulling
together
the
various
segments
of
this
city,
so
we
can
begin
to
plan
together
and
to
think
together
about
how
to
build
the
city
of
the
future.
So
we
really
can
have
a
sense
that
it's
not
just
me
you
to
me,
and
them
were
one
that
there's
a
oneness
and
I
think
you
really
have
an
opportunity
to
join
with
the
mayor
in
his
effort,
but
in
its
somewhat
different
basis,
by
pulling
us
together
around
the
planning
process.
E
That
I
don't
think
the
city
is
really
doing
at
this
point
and
the
third
and
perhaps
most
important,
you
have
to
have
the
opportunity
I
think
to
do
a
study
of
the
Seaport
and
what
the
Seaport
is
doing
to
the
people
of
this
city.
Is
it
creating
jobs
for
us?
Is
it
really
helping
our
quality
of
life
or
is
in
fact
creating
an
economic
situation
that
is
going
to
continue
to
drive
our
more
and
more
of
us
out
and
I?
E
Think,
as
you
provide
the
leadership
around
those
three
areas,
that
will
have
the
opportunity
to
build
a
city
that
really
is
meaningful
and
understanding
in
terms
of
our
relationship
to
the
earth
and
even
more
importantly,
in
terms
of
our
understanding
to
each
other.
Unfortunately,
we
often
think
that
commercialism
is
the
answer
forests
in
the
city
and
don't
realize
it's
really
a
destructive
force,
that's
pulling
us
apart
and
driving
us
from
the
city.
Thank
you.
Thank.
F
Councillor
Turner
talked
about
it.
We
see
this
as
an
opportunity
to
bring
people
together
in
a
new
way.
Southie
Roxbury,
Chinatown
Dorchester
all
touched
that
and
we'd
be
excited
to
work
with
the
different
councillors
to
work
on
that
to
get
clear
about
what
we're
facing
and
to
get
creative,
but
I
want
to
just
name.
F
This
is
the
first
time
in
my
lived
experience
that
environmental
folks
housing
folks
in
jobs,
folks
sat
down
at
a
table
together
and
said:
how
do
we
look
at
something
from
all
of
these
perspectives
and
not
just
come
with
our
particular
hats,
but
try
to
decide
what's
best
for
the
city,
so
I
just
want
to
know
that
we
are
trying
to
live
out.
What
we're
asking
you
to
do,
which
is,
can
we
have
a
process
that
brings
people
together
across
different
perspectives,
looks
at
it
all
together
and
makes
the
best
choice.
F
Our
sense
is
that
the
BP
da
does
not
have
a
history
of
doing
that
well,
and
they
are
not
accountable
to
anybody,
and
so
we
would
much
rather
work
with
folks
that
are
accountable
to
us
people
that
we
see
out
in
our
neighborhoods
out
in
our
communities
who
we've
asked
you
to
be
our
leaders
and
to
pay
attention
to
what's
best
for
us.
That's
who
we
believe
should
lead
this
process.
F
K
Thank
You
councillor
well.when
for
your
leadership
on
this
important
issue
and
to
thank
the
mayor
mayor
Walsh
in
his
administration
as
well.
This
it's
a
critical
discussion
that
we're
having
today
we're
discussing
the
future
of
18
acres
of
city-owned
land,
I'm
glad
to
be
with
you
today
and
I.
Thank
you
for
your
testimony.
K
I
represent
the
impacted
neighborhoods,
including
the
South
End,
the
South
Boston
Chinatown,
the
leather
district,
Fort
Point,
South,
Boston
waterfront
I
visit
these
neighborhoods
every
day.
Seven
days
a
week
and
over
the
last
few
weeks,
I
have
heard
from
residents
from
each
of
these
neighborhoods
and
I.
Think
everyone
agrees
that
we
have
concerns,
but
also
a
tremendous
opportunity,
as
counsel
aterna
mentioned,
to
discuss
the
future
for
this
land
in
it,
how
it
impacts
city
services,
housing
issues
that
we
hear
about
every
day.
K
You
know,
can
we
explore
the
option
of
community
entities
like
land
trusts
for
long-term
stewardship,
affordable
housing?
What
role
will
that
have
in
the
city
I
had
conversations
with
the
Chinese
progressive
Association
about
housing
and
how
we
can
make
sure
that
working-class
families
and
elderly
and
the
poor
can
live
in
these
neighborhoods?
We
also
need
to
fully
access
environmental
and
social
economic
impacts,
we'd
like
to
see
work
done
with
the
community
to
ensure
jobs
are
created,
both
construction
and
permanent
jobs.
K
Again
as
council
aterna
mentioned
boston
jobs
for
Boston
residents,
an
opportunity
for
communities
of
color,
permanent
jobs
for
woman,
our
Boston
building
trades,
making
great
progress
on
bringing
more
woman
communities
of
color
into
the
booming
Boston
economy
through
job
training,
decent
wages
in
health
care
residents
from
South
Boston
Chinatown,
the
weather
district
south.
The
South
End
have
also
mentioned
the
significant
traffic
congestion
we
are
currently
facing
on
our
roads.
They
talked
about
the
impact
the
future
of
this
parcel
could
have
and
what
our
current
challenges
we
need
to
address.
K
The
green
committee
of
the
not
of
the
neighborhood
associative
Association
of
the
Back
Bay
contacted
me
recently
to
highlight
the
issues
of
climate
change.
Sea
level
rise,
stormwater
management
in
wetlands.
They
indicated
their
strong
support
for
having
land
in
wide
earth
circles
set
aside
for
flood
protection.
K
This
is
an
important
issue
for
everybody
and,
as
I
mentioned,
I
represent
these
neighborhoods
I
also
have
the
opportunity
every
day
to
visit,
visit,
Chinatown
and
I
know
we
have.
We
have
huge
environmental
impacts
in
that
community,
the
highest
asthma
rate
of
any
neighborhood
in
the
city,
the
highest
one
of
the
highest
diabetes
rates
of
any
neighborhood
in
the
city.
K
Chinese
women
have
the
lowest
rate
of
screening
for
breast
cancer,
I'm
working
with
the
city
of
Boston
public
housing
to
address
some
of
these
issues,
but
I
think
on
what
is
important
as
we
discuss.
This
project
is
for
every
resident
in
every
neighborhood
to
come
together
and
learn
from
each
other
and
see
how
we
can
make
this
a
better
City
when
we
dealing
with
public
education,
we're
dealing
with
housing,
Public,
Health
and
I
learned
a
lot
from
the
piano
us
today.
In
what
way
we
can
go
forward.
I.
Thank
my
City
Council
colleagues.
K
L
Folks
know
it's
it's
in
my
neighborhood
and
it's
also
the
neighborhood
in
the
surrounding
neighborhoods
that
I
represent
as
citywide
council
as
well
I'll,
be
working
closely
with
my
colleague
who's
the
district
councillor
from
that
area.
He
knows
best,
what's
in
the
best
interest
of
his
district
and
along
with
folks
that
are
here
folks
that
have
an
opinion
on
it,
as
well
as
the
administration
to
make
sure
that
you
know
we're
doing
what's
the
best
interest
of
the
city
as
we
move
forward.
L
L
One
Boston's
bones
are
only
so
big
we're,
not
New
York
we're
not
Chicago
we're
not
LA,
and
so
we
got
to
be
mindful,
as
we
continue
to
move
forward
and
we're
experiencing
unprecedented
growth
and
development
that
that
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
putting
in
the
best
and
most
practical
transportation
solutions.
We
need
to
start
thinking
outside
the
box,
whether
it's
because
of
our
street
grid
or
our
aging
infrastructure.
L
Our
hope
is
that
we'll
continue
to
get
the
resources
at
both
the
local
state
and
federal
level,
but
I
think
that's
our
biggest
Achilles
heel
and
I
when
I
hear
from
from
commercial
brokers
that
are
talking
about
tenants,
not
renewing
their
leases
or
tenants
and
companies
deciding
to
take
less
square
footage
because
a
lot
of
times
their
employees
are
there
asking
to
work
from
home
because
they
can't
get
in
and
out
of
whether
it's
the
South
Boston
waterfront
or
any
other
parts
of
the
city.
That's
a
problem,
that's
a
problem.
We
need
to
grapple
with.
L
So
as
we
continue
to
talk
about
Economic
Opportunity
in
job
creation,
in
continuing
to
to
to
grow
in
to
develop
in
our
city,
which
is
all
good
stuff
lots
of
folks.
That's
a
good
news,
bad
news
story.
A
lot
of
people
want
to
be
here
to
tap
into
the
intellectual
capital,
with
best
hospitals,
best
colleges,
universities,
financial
services,
it's
a
livable
walkable
generally
safe
city.
So
those
are
all
great
things
that
we
have
going
for
us
and
as
a
city
and
when
the
envy
of
a
lot
of
other
cities
across
the
country.
L
That
said,
we
have
sort
of
our
fair
share
of
issues
that
were
grappling
with
in,
as
we
pay
attention
to
this
issue
and
we're
mindful
of
of
the
environmental
concerns.
We
also
really
got
to
give
some
serious
thought
to
how
we're
gonna
solve
our
transportation
issues
as
a
city,
and
that
involves
all
of
our
neighborhoods,
many
of
which
are
cut
through
communities
everyone's
cutting
through
our
neighborhoods
to
get
to
somewhere
in
town
or
around
town
or
downtown,
and
that's
becoming
a
problem.
So
as
we
continue
to
grow
and
develop,
we're
suffocating
ourselves.
L
We're
suffocating
our
neighborhoods
and
that's
gonna,
be
at
the
forefront
of
of
my
opinion
and
I'll
also
go
out
there
to
say
that
I
cannot
support
this.
If
it.
If
we're
talking
about
a
soccer
stadium,
that's
just
and
that
I
don't
think
is
sustainable
for
South
Boston
for
the
South
End
for
Chinatown
of
a
Bay,
Village
and
I'm
gonna
be
adamant
about
pushing
that
issue.
L
I
think
that
there's
throughout
the
locations
that
may
be
a
decent
fit
this
one's,
not
one
of
them,
so
I'm
gonna,
be
keeping
a
very
you
know,
gonna,
be
mindful
that
and
keep
a
watchful
eye
as
to
where
this
debate
and
discussion
goes
and
I
cannot
be
supportive
of
a
soccer
stadium
that
arguably,
would
choke
all
those
neighborhoods
together.
Thank
you,
ma'am
Thank.
N
Mariana,
thank
you
for
mentioning
the
globe
today.
They,
for
whatever
reason
they
want
to
sell
papers
and
I,
don't
think
that
that
is
productive
when
it
comes
to
just
to
the
discussion
couple
points
I
just
want
to
make
some
people
know
some
people,
so
I
think
to
talk
about
the
Millennium
Millennium
Towers.
It
was
I,
think
went
through
this
process
ten
years
before
we
had
it
and
it
went
through
that
three-year
process
that
that
we
on
the
council.
N
So
Menino
did
this
process
ten
years
earlier
and
then
and
then,
when
we
went
to
actually
find
find
somebody
to
build.
It
was
another
three
years
in
and
and
that
to
me
was
a
great
deal.
We
got
25,000
for
for
the
Boston
Common
in
the
in
the
public.
Aden
all
deferred
maintenance,
all
things
that
we
need
to
do
we
operationally
for
the
city.
N
What
I'd
like
to
know
is:
how
do
you
propose
to
pay
for
bringing
back
streams,
bring
him
back
all
open
space,
great
I
love
it
I
would
loved
a
big
pocket.
How
do
we
pay
for
and
what
we're
not
mentioning
is
the
the
needs
of
the
city.
This
is
this
is
don't
forget
a
Public
Works
Yod
we
need
to
provide
the
city
needs.
Transportation
needs
that
their
needs
met.
Public
Works
needs
them.
Their
needs
met.
How
do
we
propose
to
pay
for
this?
N
If
we
a
block
it
be,
have
a
five
or
ten
year
Boston,
you
know
planning,
process,
I,
think
I,
think
there's
ways
here.
There's
opportunities
here
for
us
to
be
able
to
maybe
keep
it
long
term.
I,
don't
know
what
it
looks
like
madam
chair,
but
I
know.
I,
do
not
think
that
this
administration
would
just
sign
off
on
an
RFP
that
would
not
accommodate
resiliency
into
their
plan.
I,
just
don't
think
it's
gonna
happen
and
and
and
to
almost
scare
us
into
that
to
to
block
I.
N
Don't
know
if
you
if
your
position
is
to
block
I'm,
not
really
sure,
but
that's
you
know
I
think
I
think
we
have
to
maybe
come
up
with
a
situation
where
that
we
make
sure
that,
after
it's
conveyed
that
we're
still
in
the
process
which
I
believe
we
will
be
so
thank
you
for
for
allowing
me
to
just
make
some
points
there
like
I,
said
I.
Think
our
priority
should
be
operation
of
Public
Works
operation
of
transportation.
How
we,
how
we
can
use
that
win
as
a
leverage
that
there
may
be.
N
O
All
of
your
your
opinions,
you
know,
I,
look
and
see
around
the
table.
There's
a
lot
of
options.
He
had
a
lot
of
opportunities,
I
looked
and
Julie
I
thought
you
know
the
the
picture
that
you
put
of
the
stream
with
the
building
kind
of
on
the
side,
and
things
like
that.
You
know
I
think
that's
the
that's
the
discussion
that
needs
to
happen
here
in
in
council,
a
baker
you
know
he
hit
the
nail
on
the
head.
O
Something's
got
to
go
there
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
can
take
care
of
the
city
when
the
snowstorms
come
when
the
city
offered
a
tour
of
the
building,
Ida
needed
tore.
The
building
I
worked
there
for
15
years,
so
I
didn't
need
that
tour.
I
know
it's
falling
apart.
I
know
it
needs
to
be
replaced.
We
don't
need
the
size
and
scope
of
that
building
because
times
have
changed.
Equipment
is
better
and
we
can
work
smarter.
Having
said
that,
we
still
need
to
take
care
of
the
city
when
the
snow.
O
When
the
snow
falls,
we
have
to
plow
the
streets
when
the
rains
come.
You
know
we
have
to
you
know
we
have
to
mow
the
lawns.
We
have
to
make
sure
that
everything,
so
as
this
administration
I
do
give
them
a
ton
of
credit.
As
far
as
starting
to
look
at
a
true
basic
city
services,
team,
Public,
Works
parks,
transportation,
ISD,
everybody
under
one
umbrella
working
together,
we
don't
need
that
huge
space
I'm.
O
Looking
forward
to
the
conversation
and
I
again,
I
agree
with
Frank
counsel
Baker,
you
know,
I,
don't
I
didn't
particularly
think
that
article
is
on
target
by
any
stretch
of
the
imagination.
I
think
the
conversation
is
beginning
and
I
think
everybody
has
open
ears
here
to
how
how
we
do
it.
I
was
at
the
presentation
in
the
Parkman
House
regarding
the
flood,
water
and
and
that
presentation
it
does.
As
council
Turner
alluded
to
it
kind
of
blows
your
mind
when
you
see
the
devastation
that
could
possibly
happen,
I,
don't
think
any
discussions,
not
gonna.
O
P
P
Lucky
and
I
truly
mean
that
lucky
to
work
with
all
of
you
and
other
folks
who
are
here
on
Community
Choice,
Energy,
Net,
Zero
Carbon
on
gas
leagues
on
a
whole
host
of
issues
and
that's
what
drives
the
decisions
that
I
make
in
this
job
and
it
has
for
eight
years
tomorrow.
Actually,
as
a
matter
of
fact
as
it
relates
to
frontage
road
I,
really
think
we
have
two
questions
here.
P
One
is:
should
the
city
sell
these
parcels
compelling
cases
can
be
made
for
both
sides
if
people
were
to
suggest
yes,
we
should
sell
this
off,
there's
a
lot
of
money
that
could
be
made.
That
would
go
back
to
the
city,
it's
not
as
though,
that
money
would
go
to
someone's
pocket
that
would
go
back
into
city
programming
up,
obviously
resiliency
as
well
and
sure
would
be
part
of
it.
There's
also
a
compelling
answer.
P
The
question:
should
the
city
not
sell
that
land,
meaning
there'd,
be
more
direct
control
in
terms
of
what
we
could
do
in
terms
of
housing
in
terms
of
climate
in
terms
of
preparedness?
The
second
question
that
I
think
all
of
you
touched
upon
and
I
think
in
the
next
panel
will
maybe
even
get
into
a
little
bit
deeper
is
what
is
the
process
for
answering
the
first
question?
Is
it
simply
to
allow
or
take
an
active
vote
for
the
BPD
a
to
begin?
P
The
process,
as
they
have
done
I
would
argue
fairly
well
in
certain
cases,
not
so
well
in
other
cases,
or
is
it
too
because
of
the
uniqueness
because
of
the
size
because
of
the
proximity
of
water?
On
this
put
these
parcels,
these
a
thirteen
or
however
many
acres,
is
it
to
create
a
different
process
before
we
even
get
to
the
first
point
and
that's
what
I
think
all
of
us
have
to
be
thinking
of
in
the
weeks
in
the
months
ahead.
So
thank
you,
madam
chair.
Q
Think
that's
something
that's
very
important
that
I
would
actually
say
it's
beyond
the
City
Council
and
necess
and
beyond
the
administration.
I
put
it
on
also
your
shoulders
as
well.
I.
Look
to
you
city
life,
what
you
already
have
a
people's
plan,
do
you,
or
could
you
also
consider
a
people's
plan
when
it
comes
to
development?
Looking
at
large
swaths
of
land
I
think
that's
a
team
building,
but
also
a
deep
conversation.
The
guidelines
that
come
directly
from
those
who
are
impacted
by
displacement
of
what
development
could
look
like?
Q
Not
what
we
don't
want
it
to
be.
It's
that
kind
of
conversation
I
think
that
that
we're
starting
a
need
to
start
and
have
more
of
so
I
look
forward
to
having
those
conversations
again.
I
have
I
I,
think
I'm
equally,
as
you
know,
concerned
about
whether
to
sell
not
to
sell
and
what
the
standards
are
for
that.
But
I
do
put
this
back
on
the
shoulders
of
the
advocates
who
are
speaking
on
behalf
of
the
folks
who
are
talking
every
day
with
those
who
are
struggling.
Well,
then,
what
can
we
do?
Q
What
should
we
be
doing?
How
do
we
assess
whether
we're
going
to
sell?
Is
there
a
financial
gain
to
be
had
if
what
the
limit
should
be?
If
it's
too
little,
then
we
do
something
else.
If
it's
this
high,
then
we
should
definitely
take
the
money.
I
mean
I,
want
that
I
want
you
guys
to
have
some
of
those
answers
and
to
look
at
that
as
resiliency
and
how
that
plays
into
that
as
well.
Q
R
You
chair
and
thank
you
all
for
being
here
today,
certainly
appreciate
this
process
appreciate
going
last,
so
I'm
going
to
be
very
brief,
I
think
the
core
of
what
we're
hearing
today
and
what
you've
presented
and
what
some
of
our
conversations
have
been
about
on
the
council
and
certainly
in
our
neighborhoods,
and
especially
those
that
are
most
impacted.
Is
this
desire
to
be
a
active
participant
in
the
process
that
we're
about
to
undertake
so
I
think?
R
A
Thank
you,
Thank
You,
councillor,
sabi
George
I'll,
just
observe
that
I
think
much
of
the
again,
the
not
just
the
outcome,
but
the
process
to
get
to
that
outcome.
Sort
of
questions
does
in
following
up
on
Council
Edwards
point
depend
on
this
co-piloting
community
and
council
and
city
administration
coming
together
and
all
putting
in
the
time
and
the
effort
and
with
many
things
on
our
plate.
A
So
I
suppose
my
only
question
for
the
panelists
should
we
embark
on
a
process
that
will
not
be
five
to
ten
years
long,
but
a
reasonable
process
with
Council
with
administration
with
community
I'm.
Do
you
all-
and
you
know
there
many
other
community
groups
in
the
room,
but
what
would
you
need
from
the
city
to
make
that
successful
or
aunt
and/or?
Do
you
have
the
capacity
to
embark
on
that.
F
I,
don't
think
those
questions
are
fully
answered,
but
I
will
say:
I've
started
to
have
some
conversations
with
folks
and
reach
out
to
some
people
that
would
fund
those
type
of
things,
and
we
do
believe
that
there
is
a
possibility.
I
think
the
most
an
exciting
thing
again
is
the
beginning:
willingness
of
people,
people
who
haven't
always
worked
together
to
want
to
work
together.
F
What
I
think
is
if
the
council
is
also
interested
the
reality
and
the
administration
is
interested,
I
think
that
that
willingness
to
work
together
and
do
something
different
would
be
exciting
to
people
who
design
these
kinds
of
processes.
People
who
pay
for
these
kinds
of
processes.
I
am
confident
that
if
community
the
council
and
the
administration
commit
to
working
together
on
a
good
process,
we
will
not
have
any
problem
Marceline
the
resources
we
need
to
make
that
come
together
and
to
be
a
good
process.
G
I
just
want
to
replace
I
need
to
figure
out
who
came
up
with
it,
but
it's
that
mother,
nature
bats
last
and
she
always
bats
a
thousand,
so
yeah
we
may
need
a
place.
The
city
may
need
a
place
to
store
salt
and
vehicles.
You
may
need
all
kinds
of
things,
but
if
the
water
rises
three
feet
six
feet
ten
feet
all
I'm,
saying
I
think
what
we're
saying
is
that
if
I
were
you
all
I
would
just
want
to
be
very
fully
informed
on
the
science
and
look
at
what
happened
in
Houston.
G
Look
what
happened
in
North
Carolina?
Look
what
happened
in
January
here!
That
is
our
future.
That's
all!
That's
all
I'm
saying
and
I
absolutely
commit
that
we
will
be
a
partner
showing
up
anytime
anywhere
meeting
with
each
of
you
individually,
whatever
you
need
that
we
can
do
our
part
with
our
allies
here,
so
that
we
help
you
make
the
most
informed
decision
you
can
as
the
biggest
city
in
Massachusetts
as
the
biggest
city
in
New
England.
What
Boston
does
matters
far
beyond
your
Shores.
N
Iii,
don't
I
mean
people
are
talking
about.
We
know,
we
understand
I,
believe
you
know
and
thank
you
for
for
adding
on
to
our
understanding,
but
we
know
what's
gonna
happen
and
what
I
believe
that
the
the
people
that
come
up
with
a
climate
with
the
resiliency
plan,
they're
gonna,
be
right
at
the
table.
N
Yeah,
so
III
I
think
we're
we're
talking
a
lot
about
resiliency
and
climate
and
and
I
believe
the
way
that
we're
gonna
pay
for
a
lot
of
resiliency
and
climate
preparation
along
the
shore
is
with
private
dollars
and
is
with
development,
because
we
don't
have
the
money
we
do
not
have
the
money.
He
had
to
just
turn
this
into
a
wetland
or
a
catch
basin
or
whatever,
whatever
whatever
they
whatever.
It
would
be
sorry
you're
making
a
face
now.
N
A
Right
respectfully,
everyone
I'm
gonna,
allow
for
one
final
comment
from
the
panel,
because
this
is
their
time
and
then
I
know.
We
have
many
questions
that
it
seems
our
much
better
suited
for
the
administration
panel
anyway,
who
have
been
now
waiting
for
a
very
long
time.
So,
if
you
all
could,
if
there's
any
closing
comments
from
the
panel,
please
feel
free
now,
state.
F
Our
case,
I
think
the
one
thing
I
will
say
is
as
someone
who
pays
close
attention.
We
are
not
here
to
we're
not
here
to
be
critical.
We
are
here
to
say,
there's
a
possibility,
but
I
want
to
be
very
honest.
As
someone
who
watches
this
clearly,
we
have
resiliency
conversations
happening
and
we
have
planning
conversations
happening.
We
do
not
have
them
happening
together
and
so
that
I,
don't
wanna
I'm,
not
gonna,
go
deep.
If
you
want
to
talk
more
deeply
about
that,
we'll
go
somewhere
else.
F
A
S
S
First,
you
know
I
would
say
that
I
and
my
staff
spend
our
evenings
and
weekends
in
many.
Many
many
public
processes
run
by
amazing
people
in
the
city
and
I
can
tell
you
firsthand.
There
are
many
of
these
processes
that
are
not
working
for
the
people
of
Boston.
There
is
a
lack
of
trust,
and
that
is
not
personal.
It
is
just
the
reality
and
I
think
that
this
is
not
a
simple
piece
of
land.
S
It
has
huge
implications
for
the
future
of
Boston
and
it's
okay
for
us
to
acknowledge
that
we've
had
problems
with
our
processes.
I've
stood
on
street
corners
with
many
of
you
talked
to
Bostonians.
We
literally
have
talked
to
more
than
4,000
Bostonians
this
year
alone.
They
talked
to
us
about
traffic,
they
talked
to
us
about
fears
of
displacement,
and
they
are
scared
that
if
this
vote
moves
forward,
something
bad
will
happen.
That
doesn't
mean
it
will
I
think
it's
important
for
us
to
acknowledge
that
that
fear
exists
and
create
a
process.
S
T
All
right,
so
my
name
is:
will
Justus
see
riders,
Union,
Rock,
reclaimed,
Roxbury
and
I'm
just
God's
sake
like
the
the
city,
would
probably
be
better
to
work
within
a
BPD
a
because
I
emphatically
say
that
they
do
not
represent
my
people's
best
interests
across
the
board
and,
like
I,
said
figuring
out
funding
they.
They
have
word
for
people
who
trade
services
for
money
and
I'm,
not
gonna,
say
it,
but
like
we
can't
be
that
I
mean,
and
that's
that's
just
straight
up
and
down.
We
can't
like
trade
services
for
money.
T
Eight
environmentally
Boston
is
very
backwards.
We've
literally
destroyed
mountains
in
order
to
create
landfill
it
order
to
build
on
top
of
which
the
water
is
gonna.
Take
back
over
so
I
mean
it
makes
no
sense
where
we're
moving
backwards.
We
need
to
show
that
we're
forward
moving
and
if
you're
gonna
be
speaking
on
environmental
justice,
so
you're
gonna
turn
us
into
refugees.
Let's
say
we
are
accepting
refugees
right
now
from
other
countries
that
that
are
dealing
with
a
lot
of
environmental
issues
and
then,
when
we
become
it,
we
are
going
to
be
refugees
other
places.
T
So
it's
like
in
order
to
lessen
that
impact.
We
need
to
be
forward
moving
on
this
because,
speaking
on
environment,
there
is
nothing
yet
it's
like
you're
moving
against
nature.
You
can't
fight
nature
and
win
it's
it's
like
you
want
to
fight
a
losing
battle.
I
mean
you're,
going
to
be
affecting
my
people.
It's
already
affecting
my
people,
and
the
thing
is
we
learned
to
work
with
nature,
not
go
against
nature.
This
is
one
of
the
most
important
things
it's
like
in
the
divorce
of
nature
causes
a
whole
bunch
of
problems.
T
We
talk
about
growth,
I
mean
all
growth
is
not
good.
Cancers
are
growths
that
are
not
good,
and
this
is
what's
going
on.
You
get
them
saying.
So.
It's
like
I
just
had
to
make
that
very
point.
That
literally
this,
like
Tremont,
was
three
mountains.
Three
mount
three
mountains
turned
into
landfill.
The
water
will
take
back
over,
so
big
is.
We
could
either
work
with
nature
or
you
try
to
work
against
it
and
then
you're
going
to
lose
and
we
all
lose.
You
get
up,
say
it.
T
So
it's
like
literally
like
get
get
into
knowing
what
nature
is
telling
us
we're
not
going
to
win
a
battle
against
nature,
so
don't
fight
nature
work
with
it,
because
work
with
each
other
and
like
I
said
be
PDA
has
never
represented
our
interests,
so
they
are
not
good
people
to
put
it
put
this
power
in
their
hands.
Keep
your
power,
don't
give
it
away
to
them.
Who
is
going
to
literally
do
more
displacement
of
us?
Thank.
M
There,
actually
it's
not
a
meeting,
my
most
important
asset.
Besides
the
land
is
my
wife
and
it's
her
birthday.
So
that's
where
I'm
going
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
final
comment,
having
gone
through
the
Winthrop
square
process,
I
lost
votes
for
that
one
vote,
just
you
know
putting
it
out
there.
That
was
one
acre
parcel
one
hundred
over
one
hundred
and
fifty
million
dollars
a
week.
We're
gonna
get
from
this
part
of
a
part
of
how
we
develop
the
RFP
we
can.
We
can
do
all
these
studies,
we
can
pay
for
them.
M
We
can
put
it
in
the
our
feet,
RFP
that
mandates
that
any
development
has
to
do
these
studies
so
that
to
Frank's
point
we
don't
have
the
money
to
do
that.
This
is
an
18
acre
site,
18
acres,
multiplied
by
a
150,
big
money.
I
think
we
can.
We
can
do
both.
We
can
move
the
process
forward.
The
winter
process
maybe
not
have
been
the
most
perfect
process,
but
there
was
certainly
a
lot
of
community
engagement.
M
U
We
were
last
in
this
room
and
I
spent
about
30
minutes
of
your
time,
so
we're
going
to
a
long,
PowerPoint
presentation,
I'm
not
doing
that
tonight
for
those
members
of
the
public
who
are
interested
in
the
research
we've
done
over
the
course
list.
Last
year,
I'm
happy
to
brief
any
of
you
or
you
can
check
out
the
video
from
the
previous
session.
Basically
just
a
spare
the
time
I'll
give
a
very
shortened
version
for
us.
U
The
purpose
that
we're
here,
the
reason
why
we've
advanced
this
project
is
twofold:
one
is
to
strengthen
basic
city
services
and
the
second
is
to
advance
the
vision
the
public
talked
about
through
imagine,
Boston,
2030
and
much
of
that
work
starts
with
frontage
road
frontage.
Road,
as
has
been
discussed,
is
the
18
acre
parcel.
It
is
the
home
to
roughly
400
employees
of
the
Public
Works
Department
of
Transportation
Department,
the
elderly,
Commission,
the
police
department
and
I
really
appreciate
Louise
I
think
was
the
third
speaker
this
morning.
U
Your
line
of
we
aren't
necessarily
glamorous,
but
we
keep
the
city
going
you're
right.
These
are
four
hundred
people
who
we
have
the
honor
of
being
able
to
work
with
who
do
a
great
job
of
keeping
the
city
going.
If
your
street
has
been
plowed,
it's
been
plowed
because
of
the
work
out
of
four
and
out
of
four
in
frontage
road.
If
you've
had
parking
enforcement
on
your
street,
it's
because
of
the
work
at
200,
funtage
Road.
If
you've
had
your
recycling
picked
up
your
yard
waste
composted
your
trash
picked
up.
U
If
you
were
in
300
frontage
road,
you
saw
the
cracks
in
the
floor
because
of
some
settlement
of
the
actual
foundation.
If
you're
in
foreign,
on
frontage,
road,
Mike
and
Fuad,
no
doubt
give
you
a
pretty
significant
tour
of
all
of
the
places
in
the
building
that
are
nearing
or
at
or
perhaps
RP
our
past,
their
their
useful
life,
we
are
are
facing
a
very
serious
basic
city
service
problem.
I
almost
would
use
the
word
crisis.
U
We
are
at
a
moment
where
the
literal
foundation
of
the
hub
of
our
basic
city
services
operations
is
crumbling,
and
what
is
great
about
the
opportunity
we
have
before
us
is,
if
you
are
on
that
tour
or
your
staffs
were
on
that
tour,
you
know
that
it's
not
just
a
chance
to
fix,
but
it's
a
chance
to
actually
transform
that.
We
have
a
chance
to
go
in
there
and
actually
reimagine
the
way
in
which
we
do
basic
city
services.
There's
a
lot
of
inefficient
space
there
that
we
could
actually
think
about
reconfiguring.
U
We
could
think
about
actually
having
people
who
work
together
be
able
to
sit
together,
think
about
giving
our
own
employees
the
actual
spaces
and
tools
and
shops.
They
need
to
be
able
to
do
an
exceptional
job
for
generations
to
come,
and
that
is
the
reason
why
we
think
there's
incredible
urgency
in
this
conversation
and
that's
why
we
think
we've
got
a
great
opportunity
before
us.
U
The
second
is
one
that
I
councillor
Flynn
spoke
to.
This
site
is
one
which,
though
it
may
not
appear
that
way
to
Gina
and
me
I
realized
what
other
people
may
feel
like.
It
is
a
wedge
between
South
Boston,
the
south
end
and
Chinatown,
but
this
is
an
opportunity
that
we
have
to
actually
think
about
how
to
reconnect
part
of
the
city
through
an
expanded,
neighborhood
approach,
and
then
the
third
one
is
which
is
one
which
is
a
very
high
priority
for
us.
U
Is
this
site
actually
sits
along
the
Fairmount
line
along
the
sort
of
network
of
opportunities?
We
can
think
about
how
the
potential
transformation
this
site
can
contribute
to
some
of
the
overall
efforts
that
we
wanted
to
take
on
in
the
broader
sort
of
work
around
the
pheromone
line
in
Fairmont
corridor
in
Boston.
All
of
that
work,
those
the
unleased
two
sort
of
tracks,
the
track
of
improving
basic
city
services
and
the
track
of
advancing.
Imagine
Boston
2030.
As
we
talked
about
in
our
August
hearing.
U
There
is
no
statutory
reason
why
they
are
connected,
but
there
are
some
incredibly
practical
reasons
why
they
are
connected.
The
actual
reconstruction
of
our
Public
Works
and
transportation
facilities.
Our
police
facilities
are,
there
are
senior
shuttle
facilities
that
are
there.
These
things
are
going
to
be
expensive
propositions
and
we
have
an
option
of
either
finding
a
new
source
of
revenue
or
being
able
to
reduce
the
amount
of
money
that
we're
spending
in
schools,
reduce
the
amount
of
money.
U
And
if
that's
the
case,
doing
that,
planning
and
understanding
who
our
neighbor
is
or
what
the.
What
the
plan
is,
as
we
do
that
work
doing.
Those
things
at
the
same
time
is
actually
incredibly
important
to
us.
So
with
that
said,
and
I'm
not
gonna
go
more
into
the
details
but
happy
to
take
any
questions
with
the
rest
of
my
fellow
colleagues.
We
are
sort
of
at
the
the
end
of
the
beginning
of
the
process.
We
are
here
before
you
requesting
a
a
surplus
vote.
U
Not
a
sale,
we're
not
requesting
instead,
we're
not
actually
even
sort
of
requesting,
is
transferred
to
the
BPD
a
we
are
requesting,
transferring
it
from
the
custody
of
the
Public,
Works
and
transportation
departments
to
another
city
department,
so
that
we
can
actually
engage
in
the
next
round
of
public
conversations
and
planning
conversations
to
figure
out.
What
is
the
right
thing
to
do
at
this
particular
location,
both
on
the
tracks
of
what's
the
right
direction
for
basic
city
services
and
on
the
track
of
what's
the
the
right
future
use
I?
U
A
L
You
Minister,
obviously
Thank
You
chief
commissioner
and
the
team
chemistry
from
my
perspective,
obviously
frontage
road
that
provides
a
vital
function
for
our
city,
from
both
Public
Works
and
transportation.
Standpoint
so
and
I
know
how
important
and
critical
is
for
us,
particularly
on
the
DPW
side
of
the
house,
to
get
salt
to
the
roads
as
quickly
as
possible.
It
becomes
a
major
public
safety
and
public
safety
issue,
but
so
that
currently
is
we
have
the
capabilities
to
do
between
twelve
and
fifteen
thousand
ton,
tons
of
salt
and
so
I.
U
The
salt
in
particular
provide
so
for
those
of
you
who
aren't
aware.
Although
a
Julius
lights,
we've
had
some
of
the
three
front,
row
itself
is
sort
of
a
a
an
elongated
parcel,
the
in
our
work
over
the
course
this
year,
with
util
we've
looked
at
sort
of
what
the
right
use
of
this
site
might
be
in
the
future.
A
lot
of
the
value
both
from
a
resiliency
perspective
and
from
an
urban
design
perspective,
is
on
the
northern
end,
so
the
thought
would
be
at
the
southern
end,
at
least
some
portion
of
it.
L
Just
want
make
sure
that
there's
a
plan
for
that
Psalm
on,
because
if
we
eliminate
that
that
location,
then
it
has
to
go
somewhere
and
its
ingredients
a
vital
function
and
the
other
one
is
the
it's
a
150-200
vehicle
lot,
which,
from
from
a
transportation
perspective
between
whether
it's
a
towed
vehicle
or
it's
a
an
abandoned
vehicle
or
it's
an
excise
tax
assurance.
We
raise
a
significant
amount
of
revenue
through
the
transportation
department,
particularly
as
it
pertains
to
frontage
road
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have.
L
U
Speak
to
a
slightly
broader
point,
if
Chris,
Rafi
and
Dhaka
wants
to
add
some
more
one.
One
thing
we
noticed
one
thing
that
util
documented
is
there's
about
a
million
square
feet
of
facility
sort
of
between
frontage
road
and
actually
two
sort
of
satellite
facilities
that
we
have.
60%
of
that
is
actually
surface
parking.
There's
a
huge
opportunity
to
think
about
how
we
can
actually
reduce
our
footprint
through
some
better
structured
parking.
U
That
also
has
some
operational
efficiencies,
whether
or
not
that
would
work
for
telling
whether
or
not
that
sort
of
sort
of
a
direction
that
we
would
go.
It's
just
one
way
that
we
could
actually
reduce
the
amount
of
space.
We
need
and
then
be
actually
a
better,
more
efficient
neighbor
in
the
future
and.
V
K
Thank
you,
Thank
You
Councilwoman.
Thank
you
to
the
panelists
for
for
your
input
as
well,
in
your
leadership
as
well
chief,
could
you
explain
if
this
does
go
through
and
there
is
development
on
this
land?
What
would
the
traffic
patterns
look
like?
Knowing
that
jump
trucks
will
be
in
and
out,
it's
a
highly
highly
trip.
A
lot
of
vehicles
on
this
were
on
these
roads.
What
impact
will
the
traffic
have
yep
so.
U
It's
a
great
question.
The
the
util
study
that
we've
been
going
through
has
basically
looked
at
six
different
potential
future
configurations,
four
of
them
based
they
have
some
degree
of
utilization
of
the
southern
end
for
basic
city
services
purposes.
So
when
the
basically
deserves
the
sight
alone,
there
would
not
be
any
sort
of
additional
trip
generation
or
we
wouldn't
expect
any
additional
trip
generation
from
that,
depending
upon
what
the
use
was
on
the
northern
portion
of
the
site
or
potentially
a
larger
portion
than
that
of
the
site.
W
This
would
also
ultimately
go
through
an
article
ad
process
not
dissimilar
to
the
Winthrop
square
project
itself,
during
that
there
would
be
additional
analysis
of
the
transportation
impacts
and
any
mitigation
that
were
necessary
at
that
point
in
time.
That
would
all
be
prior
to
there
being
any
approved
project
and
anything
moving
forward.
So
there
I
think
there
are
numerous
points
in
time
when
all
transportation
impacts
and
necessary
mitigation
and
overall
mobility
and
transportation
improvements
could
be
contemplated.
W
So
those
developments
would
be
considered
as
part
of
the
baseline.
That
then
you
would,
you
would
examine
the
additional
impacts
of
future
development.
On
top
of
that,
so
that
those
developments
while
not
currently
completed
today,
they
would
be
included
as
part
of
that
baseline
as
you'll.
It
then
examined
what
the
additional
incremental
increment
in
pacts
would
be
of
any
new
development
here
on
this
site,
so
they
would
be
certainly
contemplated
within
that
overall
analysis,
I,
don't
Gina!
If
you
have
anything
else,
you'd
want
to
add.
U
Ten
minute
walk
this
house
station
that
serve
active
and
shared
transportation
is
a
is
an
essential
component
of
what
imagine
getting
to
that
site,
whether
it
is
no
matter
what
is
matter
what's
use
would
be,
and
so
I
think
that
would
be
a
big
piece
of
what
would
be
pushing
and
encouraging
and
make
sure
that
reinforces
what
would
be
happening
along
into
our
Chester
AB
or
a
long.
A
Harrison
F.
W
Just
to
add
onto
that
I
think
it's
an
excellent
point
and
part
of
the
reason
why,
through
the
broader
citywide
planning
with
imagine
Boston
twenty
thirty,
this
was
identified
as
an
area
to
examine
for
for
future
evolution
and
changes
that
it
is
located
in
very
close
proximity
to
existing
transit
lines
and
thinking
about
what
the
overall
impact
improvements
could
be
to
those
and
then
also
thinking
about.
If
you
are
repairing
part
of
the
the
urban
fabric
that
was
broken
down
as
infrastructure
human
place
in
the
highway
was
put
in
place
and
separated
our
neighborhoods.
W
Those
neighborhoods
are
not
actually
very
far
apart
and
the
walk
sheds
are
not
great,
and
so
you
could
actually
think
about
repairing
the
urban
fabric
to
start
to
bring
those
closer
together
and
recognize
that
walk,
sheds,
bicycling
and
other
active
mobility
options
could
all
become
very
viable
and
safe
alternatives
in
that
area.
I
know.
U
K
Highlighted
some
health
issues
relating
to
the
residents
in
Chinatown
over
the
many
years.
I
also
had
the
opportunity,
with
many
of
my
colleagues
to
visit
frontage
road
and
I
saw
the
condition
of
the
building
as
well.
It
was
in
rough
shape,
but,
commissioner,
do
we
have
we
gonna
study
it
all
on
the
health
risks
that
the
building
presented
over
the
years
to
our
dedicated
city
employees?
We
see
how
hard
they
work
there.
Were
they
plow
our
streets
they've
been
in
this
building
for
thirty
forty
years,
but
I'm
also
concerned
about
about
their
health.
U
No
study,
not
a
study
per
se,
although
you
may
know
something
which
is
different,
but
I
think
that
it's
obviously
we
make
all
the
necessary
health
and
safety
investments.
But
we
want
to
make
sure
that,
to
your
point,
we're
providing
that
great
work
environment
for
our
employees
and
that's
gonna
require
additional
investment
or
a
reconstruction.
The
building
itself.
K
You
know
I've
been
in
that
building
many
times,
and
you
know
the
ear.
Quality
is
not
good
and
if
y'all,
if
you
work
there
for
30
40
years,
like
many
of
these
dedicated
city
employees
have
I,
would
have
to
guess
that
there's
some
environmental
health
issues
and
that's
a
that's
as
important
to
me
as
anything,
is
making
sure
that
our
city
workers,
who
do
a
tremendous
job
moving
the
city
forward.
They
don't
get
much
credit
or
recognition,
but
they're
really
the
backbone
of
our
city.
K
K
K
Know
this
council
I
already
mention
15,000
tons
of
rock
salt
in
in
frontage
road.
If
this
proposal
did
go
forward,
what
Yards
would
we
have
that
could
I
know
you
mentioned
that
there'll
be
a
space
on
frontage
road,
but
do
we
have
other
dedicated
places
across
the
city
that
could
pick
this
up?
I
know.
Frontage
road
is
is,
is
is
right
off
the
highway
system.
You
can
get
to
many
neighborhoods
from
that
area,
but
is
there
another
central
location
like
frontage
road.
U
We
were
definitely
looking
to
we'd
likely
want
to
keep
some
salt
at
frontage
road,
again
sort
of
the
southern
end
of
it.
We
do
have
salt
in
East
Boston
we've
got
South
and
Brighton.
We
have
salt
in
Dorchester
in
in
other
parts
of
our
city,
to
be
accessible
sort
of
to
more
of
our
neighborhoods
during
the
course
of
a
storm,
but
I
think
some
presents
there
as
the
central
salt
facility
and
also
the
one
that
serves
most
of
downtown
South
End,
Back,
Bay,
South,
Boston
I
think
that's
so
silly.
K
And
I
know
I
mentioned
before
that
I
represent
almost
every
neighborhood
in
that
in
that
area
the
impacted
area
and
called
Chinatown.
The
south
and
South
Boston
four
point
south
bought
the
waterfront
mm-hmm.
The
leather
district
I
want
to
make
sure
that
I
have
a
seat
at
the
table
on
any
discussions.
This
is
very
important
to
my
neighborhood
in
my
district
and
I
want
to
know
about
every
small
detail
and
I
want
to
be
involved
because
I
represent
the
people
of
district.
X
U
N
U
They
looked
at
it
was
they
looked
at
it's
a
little
just
a
little
over
a
million
square
feet
and
it
is
the
frontage
road
parcels.
It
also
actually
includes
12
channel
street,
which
is
this
air
sign
and
signal
shop.
It's
a
small
space
over
in
the
in
the
South
Boston
waterfront,
as
well
as
the
street
lighting
facility
yeah
across
those
three
that
we
have
a
tremendous
amount
of
sort
of
parking
about
10%
of
its
conventional
office.
Space
about
5%
of
its
salt
and
balance,
is
either
storage
or
shop
space
base
their
central
fleet
facility.
So.
N
U
D
U
By
reorganizing
some
of
the
spaces
that
there's
just
an
opportunity
to
think
about,
you
know
actually
probably
a
little
bit
more
space
than
we
have
currently
in
200
frontage
road,
but
maybe
even
a
little
less
space
than
we
currently
have
in
foreign
or
frontage
road,
where
you've
got
some
various
sort
of
sort
of
wide
and
somewhat
cavernous
sort
of
hallways
and
spaces,
and
then
some
interesting
opportunities
to
think
about
how
we
deal
with
inventory
and
different
and
better
ways.
So.
N
U
A
little
I
think
the
question
you're
getting
at
and
Sarah
can
certainly
join
in
on
this.
The
the
first
question
this
is
sort
of
what
we
will
get
you
at
the
end
of
you
teal
study
is,
is
what
is
the
amount
of
space
we'd
want
to
retain
at
frontage
road?
They,
in
their
current
models,
was
everything
from
50%
to
30%
option
to
a
20%
option,
and
we.
U
O
N
N
U
N
And
would
that
would
the
model
like
with
transportation
play
play
well
in
the
sandbox
with
Public
Works?
Maybe
yeah?
Okay,
thank
you
Sarah!
Can
you
chocolate
Mariana
had
they
had
mentioned
I'm
bringing
you
up
again.
Another
shadow
a
little
over
here
had
mentioned
how
the
overlap
of
planning
for
development
in
the
planning
for
resiliency.
Will
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
that?
Of
course,
Chris
touched
on?
It
is
yeah
Chris
said
that
the
this
site
is
kind
of,
maybe
where
we
want
to
start
the
first
part
of
it
was
that
Curt
that
I
hear?
W
Sure
absolutely
so,
I
think
that
one
thing
I
would
just
want
to
stress
is
that
all
of
the
work
that's
been
done
as
it
relates
to
resiliency.
That's
coming
out
of
the
mayor's.
The
mayor's
office
in
the
environment
cabinet
has
been
done
in
close
partnership
with
the
BPD
a
and
we
have
worked
to
be
making
sure
that
all
of
our
planning
incorporates
that
resiliency
work
as
a
key
fundamental
overlay.
We
just
examples
of
that.
We
for
anything
that's
in
the
current
floodplain
in
future
floodplain.
W
We
are
looking
at
an
updated
checklist
and
resiliency
checklist
that
was
adopted
by
the
BPD
a
board.
We
are
currently
embarking
on
a
process,
as
it
relates
to
climate
ready
zoning
that
was
identified
in
the
climate
ready
report
that
will
talk
about
zoning
overlays
that
take
into
account
the
future
floodplain.
Those
are
just
a
few
examples,
but
the
most
recent
work
that
that
mayor
Walsh
spoke
to
this
fall
related
to
the
resilient
Boston.
W
We're
doing
this
model
throughout
the
city
so
currently
in
plan
East
Boston,
for
example.
All
of
those
disciplines
are
coming
together
through
the
planning
process
and
there
will
be
elements
of
that
planning
process
that
specifically
focus
on
resiliency
land
use
transportation
and
how
they're
all
interrelated.
W
This
area
here
was
identified
in
IB
2030,
which
took
into
account
the
climate
ready
report
and
then
imagine
Boston
2030
and
did
overlays
of
the
key
areas
where
we
need
to
focus
on
our
vulnerabilities
and
opportunities
to
to
improve
our
resiliency
for
climate
change
and
looked
at
those
overlays
within
the
other
prioritization
areas.
The
expanded
neighborhood
opportunities,
the
areas
for
enhancement,
I.
Think.
The
interesting
thing
you
see
here
is
an
overlap
where
there's
an
opportunity
to
knit
back
our
city
to
knit
our
neighborhoods
together.
W
N
W
There
is
there
is
yes
absolutely
so.
With
the
flower
exchange,
there
is
resiliency
work
that
was
factored
into
that
planning
process
itself
and
we
can
earn
the
article
80
process
and
we
can
get
you
the
specifics
on
that
through
the
plans
South
Boston
Dorchester
Avenue
that
also
contemplated
some
of
the
vulnerabilities
in
this
area
and
the
opportunity
to
have
elevation
along
the
proposed
new
Ellery
Street
there.
That
would
help
to
protect
other
areas
within
South
Boston,
including
the
Washington
Village
site.
W
N
W
Think
about
more
through
the
RFP
process
and
what
we've
outlined
as
three
key
principles
that
would
be
included
in
a
future
process,
going
forward
our
focus
on
climate
change,
climate
readiness
and
resiliency
strategies,
the
opportunity
to
think
about
expanded,
neighborhoods
and
bringing
our
neighborhoods
together
through
this
site
and
then
emphasizing
the
creation
of
networks
of
opportunity
and
capitalizing
on
the
location
of
this
site
along
the
fairmont
corridor
and
what
that
does
to
increasing
opportunity
throughout
the
city.
Thank.
O
Much
madam
chair
welcome
and
thanks
for
hanging
in
there
King
just
a
couple
things
you
know:
we've
talked
about
it
a
long
time
already
tonight
about
including
the
environmental
impact
and
I
know.
That's
going
to
happen.
My
own
Lisa,
don't
really
have
any
questions.
It's
more
of
a
suggestion.
The
Charles
River
Watershed
Association
Julie,
had
her
slide
show
she
had
two
options:
maybe
even
three
right
out
of
the
gate
and
everybody's
talking
about
different
options.
Now
I've
heard
sokka,
Stadium
I've
heard
that
Matt
and
I
were
just
talking
about
City
Hall.
This
building
is
awful.
O
You
know
a
lagoon
housing
bill.
All
you
know
all
kinds
of
different
things.
You
know
a
thought
would
be.
This
is
to
create
a
website,
or
at
least
a
suggestion
box
for
things,
because
to
think
that
you
know
the
60
people
in
this
room
have
all
the
thoughts
in
the
world
about
what
could
go
there.
What
should
go
there
you'd
be
very
surprised
how
many
people
think
outside
the
box
in
big
big
ways
and
I'll,
never
forget
the
first
time
I
ever
knocked
doors.
O
P
V
P
X
The
first
thing,
I
would
say
is
that
the
the
administration
and
the
BPD
is
committed
to
an
open,
transparent
community,
different
process.
So
hearing
from
the
panel
you
know
ahead
of
time
was
really
was
really
great,
because
the
visions
that
the
panel
has
for
a
resident
strategies
for
mixed-use
development
for
opportunities
that
the
site
might
create
for
the
city
is
exactly
what
we've
been
thinking
about
as
well.
So
we're
committed
to
an
open,
transparent,
community
driven
process.
X
Your
suggestion
about
a
website
is
wrote
down
immediately
as
much
as
much
input
as
possible
to
make
sure
that
this
site,
first
and
foremost
meets
the
requirements
for
excellent
basic
city
services
and
then
also
meets.
You
know,
meets
the
goals
that
we've
outlined
in
a
magic,
Boston
2030,
the
expanded
neighborhoods
climate
change,
awareness
and
resiliency
strategies
and
then
creating
networks
of
opportunity.
There
are
three
principles:
great.
P
I've,
no
doubt
and
I
and
I
know
all
of
you
and
I
know
you're
committed
that,
but
I
guess
we
more
get
on
the
more
granular
level.
What
what?
What
is
the
hypothetical
process
for
the
development
of
formerly
sit
or
currently
city-owned
property?
It
is
a
vote
of
by
the
City
Council
so
that
the
mayor
asks
us
for
a
vote
and
then
we
vote
on
what
it.
What
is
that
thing
so.
X
U
U
U
The
there
is
a
separate
section
of
this
that
would
but
I
don't
believe
that
part.
There
would
be
a
vote
from
the
BPD
a
board
on
the
MOA,
a
vote
from
the
BPD
a
board
and
the
selection
I
had
a
vote
from
the
public
facilities
Commission
on
the
actual
on
the
transfer
to
the
BPD.
A
each
of
those
are
sort
of
public
engagement
opportunities,
and
so
all
of
those
would
occur.
U
The
the
second
track
of
this,
as
we
talked
about
before,
is
the
basic
city
services
track,
and
that
is
where
there's
actually
a
tremendous
amount
of
City
Council
involvement.
The
we
would
need
to
go
out
and
RFP
for
somebody
to
do.
A
facility
study
could
be
a
sort
of
programming
study
to
figure
out.
What
does
our
space
look
like?
Where
are
we?
U
P
P
P
U
I
offered
to,
but
it's
joining
one
sort
of
the
the
cities
of
sort
of
standard
preferred
practices.
I
understand
it
is
the
actual
sort
of
surplus
to
the
PFC
before
you
actually
do
any
sort
of
sort
of
entertain
disposition.
The
second
is
more
about
the
the
actual
outreach
that
I
think
we
think
we're
gonna
get
and
better
responses.
P
It's
the
standard
operating
procedure,
but
there
is
no
law
or
there's
no
regulation.
That
would
prevent
the
city
from
saying
what
we
want
to
hear
from
you
as
it
relates
to
frontage
road
mindfully.
We
go
through
this
every
night
of
the
week,
I'm
in
add
event.
Almost
every
night,
a
week
I'm
in
a
development
meaning
often
times
this
project
is
dependent
upon
zoning.
You
know
the
variance
is
being
granted.
So
why
couldn't
we
do
something
similar
here?
So.
U
In
terms
of
the
actual
legal
specification,
there
actually
may
be
folks
in
the
room
who
know
this,
but
I
would
actually
we
can
get
back
to
from
the
law
department,
essentially
the
preferred
practice,
and
what
we
think
would
lead
it
to
a
better
result.
Is
that
clarity
up
front
and
the
transfer
to
the
PFC
up
front
again
lots
of
checks
still
before
there's
an
actual
sale,
but
that
that
step
is
from
the
preferred
step.
Well,
I
appreciate.
P
That
chief
and
as
I
said,
I've
worked
with
all
of
you
and
I
No.
All
of
your
hearts
are
in
the
right
place
and
I
believe
the
mayor's
hearts
in
the
right
place
with
this
as
well.
I
guess
I
need
a
little
more
clarity
around
the
fact
that
we
have
to
do
it
this
way,
and
it
has
to
be
better
than
that's
been
our
standing
operating
procedure.
That's
our
preferred
practice.
P
This
is
unique
and
I
think
that
many
people
feel
as
though,
if
we
as
an
elected,
independent
body,
if
we
simply
sign
over
control
of
this
property
to
the
PFC
in
an
MOA
with
BPD
a
we
are
going
to
lose
a
lot
of
leverage
to
affect
something
that
that
will
indeed
be
the
best
thing.
The
city
I
have
no
doubt
that
something
amazing
to
me
with
this
and
I.
P
P
We
need
to
be
a
lot
more
cognizant
as
it
relates
to
climate
resiliency
and
using
that
and
having
smarter
development,
and
while
many
good
plans
have
been
made-
and
this
isn't
directed
at
anyone,
I
think
we
can
all
shoulder
the
blame
in
this.
Many
people
feel
as
though
we
we
have
these
great
ideas,
but
we're
not
putting
into
practice
the
effect
to
get
there
as
it
relates
to
climate.
P
So
I'd
appreciate
some
more
clarity
after
this
hearing
and
I
have
another
event
as
well,
so
I
have
to
leave,
but
as
it
relates
to
why
couldn't
we
have
a
process
without
the
vote,
or
there
predates
the
vote
or
some
some
other
mechanisms
in
place
that
would
allow
for
that,
and
also
how
do
we
owe
the
and
that's
the
other
thing.
My
first
question
is:
should
we
sell
the
parcel
if
we,
if
we
put
it
up
if
we
transfer,
if
we
take
a
vote
on
disposition,
I
think
we've
answered
that
question
so.
U
I
think
if
you,
if
you
dig
it
vote
on
surplus,
actually
don't
think
we've
answered
that
question.
I
think
that
we
would
not
actually,
as
any
of
us
in
this
room,
make
a
decision
to
sell
until
we
knew
that
we
had
both
a
great
solution
for
basic
city
services.
Thinking
for
the
two
of
us
and
a
great
a
great
sort
of
option
for
something
else
at
frontage,
road.
P
U
Q
Thank
you
guys
for
staying
around
so
so
long
I.
Just
to
pick
up
on
what
councillor
O'malley's
had
suggested
and
to
give
an
example,
I
think
of
being
transparent
and
having
a
conversation,
we
had
the
East
Boston
master
plan
hearing
in
East
Boston,
where
we
specifically
said,
and
we
had
people
sign
up
on
the
areas
of
which
they
were
going
to
talk
about
zoning
environment,
housing
and
traffic,
and
that
was
a
wonderful
I
think
display
of
the
administration
coming
to
East
Boston
to
just
little
first
present
present.
Q
Q
But
for
the
most
part,
it
was
a
moment
in
time
to
really
talk
about
what
East
Boston
could
look
like,
and
also
for
you
to
present
the
tools
and
the
zoning
limitations
and
opportunities
that
we
had,
for
example,
the
iPod
and
then
also
to
present
how
the
conversation
would
go
going
forward
about
the
iPod
about
the
planning
that
Suffolk
Downs
would
have
its
own
separate
process.
But
it
was
all
laid
out
and
I
think
that
this
is
a
wonderful
opportunity,
I'm
looking
at
the
district
councillor
to
about
that
conversation
and
replicating
something
like
that.
Q
Yes,
we
still
have
the
question
of
whether
we're
going
to
sell
whether
we're
gonna
surplus,
but
how
conversations
happen
and
how
we
get
the
feedback
not
only
through
the
website
as
councillor
McCarthy
suggested,
but
how
we
dream
together.
That's
a
conversation
that
we
as
city
councillors,
can
have
any
time
and
so
look
to
your
leadership.
It's
this
is
your
neighborhood
predominantly
about
having
something
in
district,
as
a
lot
of
people
will
not
come
here.
Q
If
you're
inviting
people
to
dream
and
talk
about
these
issues
and
what
they
make
suggestions
and
they
presented
reports
you're
again,
creating
a
conversation
come
up
with
solutions,
we're
having
the
advocates
come
in
with
all
sorts
of
ideas
and
I,
it's
just
a
wonderful
way
to
really
push
change,
possibly
the
process,
but
certainly
open
it
up
in
a
way.
So
I
just
put
that
out
there
as
I
think
we're
doing
it
anyway.
You
guys
come
to
Charlestown,
you
guys
have
gone
to
East,
Boston,
big,
so
I
put
them.
Q
U
Have
to
I
mean
so,
and
others
may
have
better
I
think
that
it
is
very
understandable
that
that
is
a
huge
priority.
As
council
Turner
said,
I
mean
you
I
think
all
of
us
are
struck
by
the
reality
of
sea-level
rising.
This
is
why
the
mayor
has
been
doing
the
carbon
free,
Boston
work
on
the
climate,
ready,
Boston
work.
I.
Do
think
that,
in
terms
of
the
specifics-
and
there
may
be
I
was
on
this
on
the
team
against
us.
U
I
think
there's
folks
in
our
environment
team
who
are
gonna
be,
who
are
probably
actually
who
you
guys
talk
to
regularly,
who
would
be
sort
of
far
far
more
detailed
sort
of
response
to
how
we
would
think
about
what
the
climate
ready
for
point,
channel
or
Connery
South
Boston
work
says
about
this
particular
area
and
how
we'd
want
to
think
about
rolling
that
to
the
RFP.
That's
a
fair.
A
U
W
So
you
know
I
think
that
the
the
second
image,
as
it
related
to
an
opportunity
to
incorporate
a
number
of
different
objectives
on
the
site
is
particularly
interesting
to
examine
and
I.
Think.
One
thing
that
I
would
want
to
spend
time
with
our
environment
team
doing
is
examining
that,
in
conjunction
with
the
other
plans,
as
it
relates
to
resiliency
along
the
four
point
channel.
This
is
a
system
and
it
works
together,
and
so
how
did
those
resiliency
measures
and
this
resiliency
measure
work
together?
Also
alongside
the
resiliency
work
at
Moakley?
W
These
types
of
solutions
that
blend
stream,
restoration,
some
wetland,
restoration,
green
infrastructure,
new
open
space
and,
overall,
a
resilient
building
design
how
those
things
can
work
together
within
this
broader
system.
I.
Think
that
that
suggestion
is
not
dissimilar
from
the
approach
that
we're
taking
in
vulnerable
locations
throughout
the
city
and
would
would
have
the
great
opportunity
to
ask
for
even
more
here
given
as
councillor
Baker
said
that
this
is
public.
W
And
what
about
the
first
image
the
wetlands
image
so
I
think
that
the
one
thing
that
we
all
have
to
keep
in
mind-
and
this
goes
back
to
the
need
for
maintaining
our
our
city
services-
is
how
how,
in
the
event
that
a
wetland
solution
here,
which
I
think
would
not
necessarily
be
precluded
from
being
proposed
through
a
process
through
our
public
process.
But
how
that
solution
would
then
dovetail
with
our
needs,
as
it
relates
to
critical
cities,
services
and,
ultimately,
future
proofing
and
improving
our
ability
to
provide
for
those
city
services.
W
You
know
the
chief
has
good
can
speak
to
it,
but
we
certainly
do
have
a
financial
need,
as
it
relates
to
the
facilities
and
then
the
ongoing
operations
of
those
services.
One
of
our
assets
is
our
land
and
I.
Think
we
have
to
think
about
that
as
an
asset
in
all
of
the
different
ways
that
it
benefits
the
city,
the
environmental
benefits,
the
social
benefits
and
then,
ultimately,
the
financial
benefits
that
go
back
into
public,
the
public,
FISC
and
public
financing
to
pay
for
other
basic
city
services.
W
This,
ultimately,
is
going
to
be
a
discussion
around
the
the
trade-off
between
all
of
those
areas
we
is
currently
contemplated.
I
think
has
been
discussed
before
the
council.
The
idea
of
having
a
public
process
here
would
be
a
very
broad
process
and
something
like
a
wetland
solution
could
be
contemplated
and
I
think
the
the
benefit
would
be
to
design
a
process.
That
then
asks
someone
who
is
a
proponent
of
that
type
of
a
proposal
why
that
provides
the
greatest
public
benefit
so.
A
A
Things
like
open
space
and
public
parks
and
and
that
aren't
generating
dollar
value
per
se
for
a
developer
or
a
specific
company
or
individual.
Those.
That's
the
reason
why
governments
were
created.
Why?
Because
it
doesn't
work
in
the
one-off
situation
and
the
tragedy
of
that
that
we
need
people
to
come
together
to
agree
that
this
is
for
the
greater
good,
and
it
can
only
happen
if
government
looks
to
that
50
70
hundred
year
time
frame
to
say.
A
Okay,
we
may
not
get
the
money
we
may
need
to
squeeze
to
pay
for
a
new
set
of
public
facilities,
Public
Works
buildings
and
operations
somewhere
else
or
figure
out
how
that
works
in
the
1
to
40
year
time
frame.
But
a
hundred
years
from
now,
all
of
Roxbury
and
the
South
End
and
South
door
and
in
parts
of
Dorchester
and
South
Boston
will
realize
that
this
land
is
now
absorbing
so
much
more
of
the
flood
water.
Is
that
that
and
they
still
have
access
to
it
too
more.
A
A
A
Just
continues
to
become
clearer
to
me
and
and
more
urgent
I
would
ask
that
so
anyway,
back
to
my
questions
as
we're
thinking
about
just
the
dollar
value
of
the
land,
if
we
are
trying
to
squeeze
the
highest
and
best
financial,
you
know
payment
to
the
city
that
we
can
out
of
what
a
rapport
ssin
could
be
deemed
developable
or
ready
for
development.
Is
it
worth
more?
Could
the
city
get
more
value
if
a
parcel
of
land
is
zoned
for
the
use
if
it's
permitted
or
if
it's
just
unpermitted
land.
W
So
I
think
that
in
this
type
of
a
situation
we
you
could
proceed
forward
with
the
process
and
similar
to
what's
been
done.
Other
pieces
of
land
that
would
then
all
of
this
process
is,
is
subject
to
an
article.
Eighty
process,
which
is
ultimately
as
many
developers,
would
see
some
sort
of
an
entitlement
risk
they're
still
taking
on
whether
it's
zoned
as
that,
the
underlying
zoning,
or
it
requires
a
zoning
change.
A
development
of
this
scale
would
still
go
through
article.
W
A
W
A
And
then
so,
just
getting
back
a
little
bit
to
the
integration
of
climate
planning
and
development
planning
for
development.
What
so?
Let's
just
let's
just
take
in
general
right
now,
separate
from
frontage
road.
What
sea
level
rise
and
urban
heat
scenarios
is
the
BPD
a
requiring
developers
to
prepare
for
in
a
building
that's
being
permitted
today.
A
W
Can
get
back
to
you
on
the
on
the
temperature
increase
in
the
specifics?
The
sea
level
rise
is
consistent
with
the
climate
ready
report
and,
as
we
are
we're
currently
embarking
on
the
climate
reading
zoning
process
itself
that
that's
not
been
put
into
place,
and
so
that
will
be
taking
into
account
future
sea
level
rise
and
climate
change.
I
can
get
you
the
scope
of
work
for
that,
but
currently,
what
we're
looking
at
is
21
inches,
I
believe
by
2050
and
40
inches
by
2070.
A
W
A
W
A
X
V
X
X
U
A
U
A
Okay,
you
just
wanted
to
clarify
because
I
you
know
the,
since
the
authorization
is
already
there
there's
there
will
be
no
more
public
process
on
that
of
people
being
able
to
go
to
the
BPD
a
board
and
talk
about.
You
know
whether
that
authorization
happens
and
just
to
clarify
the
authorization
is
for
nr5,
but
not
an
rfp.
Okay,
that's
correct!
It's
for
an
RFI,
thank
you,
and
so
when
you,
for
example,
with
the
Winthrop
square
RFI.
That
document
already
laid
out
a
fairly.
A
You
know
some
parameters
around
what
the
city
was
looking
for,
and
so
you
know
this
site
is
so
much
bigger,
so
many
more
possibilities,
you're,
not
downtown
where
it
feels
like
really
a
tall
building,
would
have
been
almost
the
only
thing
that
we,
the
city,
would
be
considering.
So
what
would
you
put
in
the
RFI
if
you
had
to?
Let's
say
the
surplus
vote
happened
tomorrow
and
therefore
you
wanted
to
release
the
RFI
next
week.
What
would
it
say.
X
A
X
Would
definitely
refer
to
the
climate
ready
posture
and
I
mean
that
report
has
that
been
out
there?
You
know
we
have
in
our
in
our
notes,
sea-level
projections,
what
the
21
inches
for
2050,
which
thank
you,
julie,
for
bringing
up
and
presenting
in
your
presentation
as
well.
21
inches
are
2050
42,
the
2070.
What
are
the
approaches?
What
are
the
innovative
approaches
that
could
be
taken
to
address
these
issues
that
we
know
are
in
our
reports?
Creating
that
was
opportunity.
X
How
do
we
take
advantage
of
the
fact
that
this
site
is
on
the
fairmont
corridor,
I'm
expanding
opportunities
to
neighborhoods?
You
know
the
Dorchester
Mattapan
rebuild
in
Hyde
Park,
and
how
do
we
actually
get
folks
to
come
and
access
any
kind
of
opportunities
on
the
site,
so
there
would
be.
It
would
be
based
on
principles
that
the
panel
ahead
of
us,
you
know
really
appraised,
and
then
we've
also
identified
a
match
to
Boston
2030.
A
So,
given
that
even
with
the
Winthrop
square
project,
which
I
think,
regardless
of
how
anyone
thought
about
the
the
shadows
and
not
knowing
and
knowing,
and
and
that's
all
that
compass
I'd,
that
the
end
result,
I
think
funding
different
priorities
at
the
city
and
the
administration
are
very
happy
with.
It
did
feel
like
that.
The
RFI
set
the
tone
a
great
deal
and
that
here,
because
anything
is
on
the
table,
I
mean
that
RFI
would
be
open
to
anything
from
soccer
stadium
to
housing,
to
reconstructed
wetlands.
A
My
suggestion-
and
this
is
being
put
out
there
for
your
feedback,
not
as
a
I'm,
not
just
saying
it.
My
suggestion
for
feedback
is
that
the
council
and
the
community,
as
requested
and
the
administration
embarked
on
a
reasonable
you're,
not
talking
five
to
ten
year,
but
maybe
several
month,
long
process
with
public
meetings,
workshops,
etc.
A
Something
goes
out,
but
in
this
case
we
would
not
have
the
standard
practices
that
we
do
not
have
that
second
vote,
but
so
in
my
mind,
if
the
process
were
set
up,
that
there
could
be
a
surplus
vote
and
then
another
vote,
I
would
have
much
I'd
be
fine.
Moving
ahead
with
feel
about
it
much
differently
about
the
surplus
vote.
Given
that
that's
not
the
case,
I
think
we
should
either
talk
about
adding
a
commitment
to
a
second
vote
that
has
any
you
know
it
could
be
it.
A
It
doesn't
have
to
be
after
the
developer
is
picked
and
this
and
that
and
therefore
you're
putting
all
of
it
at
risk
by
having
the
asterisk.
That
says,
subject
to
a
council
vote,
but
some
vote
to
react
to
responses
to
the
RFI
or
the
RFP
etc.
Maybe
it's
just
the
RFI
in
addition
to
that,
having
this
several
month,
long
process
colette
by
community
to
help
shape
the
RFI,
because
the
RFI
has
presented
now.
It
feels
very,
very
broad.
A
It
feels
similar
to
other
RFI's
that
have
gone
out
that
the
council
has
worked
on,
for
example,
around
community
choice,
energy
that
didn't
get
a
lot.
It
didn't
some
of
these
when
they're
written
so
broad
that
the
private
sector
or
nonprofit
or
whomever
doesn't
feel
like
they
have
a
realistic
chance.
Why
bother
going
through
the
effort
of
putting
together
proposal
if
we
help
narrow
it
and
shape
it
with
public
participation
ahead
of
time?
A
U
W
You
know
I,
the
one
thing
I
would
just
add,
I
think
it's.
It's
certainly
a
point
well
taken
and
we
can
bring
it
back
and
have
a
discussion.
There
was
a
multi-year
imagine.
Boston
2030
planning
process
that
had
robust
engagement
over
16,000
touch
points
throughout
the
the
city
and
conversations
about
the
future
of
our
city,
and
this
area
is
detailed
as
an
area
for
for
with
broad
planning
objectives
and
I.
W
Think,
given
that
you
do
have
a
planning
process
with
those
broad
planning
objectives,
we
do
feel
confident
that
there's
a
framework
to
inform
of
a
future
RFI
RFP
that
I
would
not
want
a
process
that
was
in
any
way
contradictory.
Necessarily
with
that
process,
which
was
really
a
citywide
conversation.
W
W
I
think
the
benefit
of
a
citywide
conversation
is
that
you're
viewing
everything
at
that
citywide
lens
I
think
we
do
have
a
great
framework
at
the
citywide
scale
that
talks
about
the
opportunity
of
this
area
and
it's
asset
to
the
entire
city
and,
as
you
mentioned
publicly
owned
land
is
a
is
a
is
a
public
asset
of
the
entire
city
and
I
think
that
that
is
something
that
was
very
much
considered
and
discussed
at
that
point
in
time.
Okay,.
A
Okay,
2017
I
mean
even
even
a
process.
I
think
that
concluded
four
months
ago.
I
would
worry,
needs
to
have
more
input
in
between
the
UN
Intergovernmental
Panel
on
Climate
Change
report
that
came
out
between
this
most
recent
National
Assessment
of
climate.
The
urgency
that
the
numbers
that
we
need
to
react
to
to
be
safe
from
from
climate
change
are
being
ratcheted
up
month
by
month,
not
even
year
by
year.
A
At
this
point,
and
so
I,
don't
know
that
the
city
has
been
having
conversations
that
are
inclusively,
empowering
community
to
understand
and
react
to
and
inform
the
real
risks
that
we
face.
That
was
what
came
across
to
me
from
the
first
panels:
presentation
that
yes
I'm
so
happy.
We
have
imagined
Boston,
2030
and
I
have
the
treasure
it,
but
we
have
to
the
opportunity
we
have
here
with
this
sized
parcel.
That's
all
that
city-owned
land
and
not
in
the
stakes.
A
Not
what,
if
we
don't
get
it
right,
we
have
to
be
able
to
be
willing
to
add
a
few
months
into
the
process.
It
may
delay
it.
It
may
change
things
in
terms
of
timing,
for
what
the
BRE
was.
Initially
planning
but
six
months
now,
nine
months
now,
how
much
is
that
worth
a
hundred
years
from
I
mean
if
it
helps
us
make
a
better
decision
that
will
get
us
better
protection
100
years
from
now,
I
think
it's
absolutely
worth
it.
A
So
I
would
just
really
push
back
and
encourage
the
BPD
a
in
particular,
because
I'm
hearing
sounds
like
the
city
and
the
administration
want
to
work
together,
want
to
move
this
forward,
but
the
BPD
a
needs.
It
just
feels
to
me
that
it
there
there
needs
to
be
more
willingness
to
open
up
to
this
country.
I.
Imagine
Boston!
Twenty!
A
Twenty
thirty
is
not
enough
when
it
comes
to
this
parcel
and
having
the
RFI
go
out
and
I
would
not
feel
comfortable
moving
a
vote
if
we
knew
that
that
would
immediately
lead
to
that
without
any
further
community
involvement,
so
I'm
just
putting
that
out
there.
So
I
apologize
from
monopolizing
all
the
time
I'm
councillor
Flynn,
you
have
more
questions.
Please
go
ahead.
X
U
So
I
mean
if
you
were
to
focus
specifically
on
the
two
of
us.
Obviously
we
are
feeling
the
urgency
of
moving
forward
with
good
planning
around
our
basic
city
services
facility.
So
there's
a
reason
why
I
think
we
submitted
this
in
June
or
July.
We
had
the
first
hearing
in
August.
I.
Do
think
that
there
is
it's.
We
are
very
committed
to
having
a
lot
of
good,
robust
public
conversation
about
this
through
the
RFP
process.
W
W
This
is
a
unique
situation
where
the
impacted
area
would
certainly
be
what
would
be
considered
as
it
relates
to
impacts,
but
we
also
have
a
city
asset
and
say
we
have
would
be
having
a
conversation
at
citywide,
but
then
also
thinking
about
the
direct
impacts
to
the
adjacent
neighborhood
when
we
think
about
impacts,
we're
thinking
about
those
impacts
at
multiple
scales
and
given
the
name,
the
unique
nature
of
this
parcel
that
it's
a
city
asset
but
and
then
also
any
future
transformation
and
change.
What
directly
impact
those
adjacent
neighborhoods.
W
You
would
be
viewing
it
at
both
at
both
levels,
as
you
transition
more
into
an
article
80
process
down
the
road.
If
there
were
to
be
the
direction
where
there
was
additional
building
on
the
site,
those
impacts
would
be
evaluated
in
the
traditional
way.
The
article
80
is
evaluated
where
we
think
about
the
direct
impacts
to
the
surrounding
area.
K
K
V
We
visit
with
you
in
July.
We
really
underscored
the
importance
of
your
participation
and
inclusion,
and
this
as
the
parcel
is
in
within
your
district.
Primarily,
we
have
a
good
model
for
partnership
with
you
in
the
transportation
department,
with
a
lot
of
the
community
involvement
that
we've
had
in
Chinatown
in
the
south
end
and
in
South
Boston,
and
we
would
look
to
you
for
some
leadership
with
that
regard.
V
K
Would
how
would
you
envision
interacting
with
the
impacted
neighborhoods?
What
would
what
would
a
scenario
be
for
you
that
would
that
would
work?
Would
it
include
forums
or
discussions
in
the
in
the
neighborhoods,
or
would
it
include
meetings
at
City,
Hall
or
video
presentations?
What
type
of
outreach
would
would
you
have
I.
U
V
K
You,
commissioner
I
would
also
envision
I'm
sure
you
do
as
well
that
the
conversation
would
also
include
communicating
in
Cantonese
and
Mandarin
for
our
Chinese
residents
in
Chinatown
and
also
I
represent
a
high
concentration
of
spanish-speaking
residents
throughout
the
South
End
and
throughout
South
Boston.
So
I
would
respectfully
ask
that
that
be
included
as
well.
V
W
I,
don't
believe
that
there's
a
recent
master
plan
that
has
been
done
for
the
area's
there
certainly
work
that
was
done
by
other
bodies
outside
of
the
city.
That's
thought
about
the
future
of
those
areas,
but
there's
not
been.
You
know
a
recent
plan
from
the
BPD
a
in
the
past
citywide
plan
that
dates
back
more
than
50
years.
This
was
an
area
that
was
included
in
that
in
that
plan
and
I
I,
don't
believe
that
it
got
very
detailed
in
that
master
planning
and
certainly
didn't
impact.
W
K
W
White
out
circle
area
south,
as
you
as
you
highlighted,
does
certainly
have
access
and
egress
issues
related
to
getting
to
this
site.
Those
are
ones
when
you
think
about
the
broader
area,
including
the
furniture
parcels
that
could
be
enhanced
over
time.
If
you
were
to
think
about
increasing
the
access
and
the
egress
points,
the
land
itself
is
is
privately
held,
I
believe
it's
held
by
a
cooperative
of
businesses.
W
K
W
W
K
Okay
and
then
my
final
request,
I,
don't
want
to
monopolize
all
the
time.
I
know:
I
highlighted
environmental
hazards
for
people
working
in
frontage,
road
I
think
that's
I,
think
that's
an
important
issue
that
we
we
should
take
a
look
at
it's
similar
to
me,
for
you
know,
cleaning
cleaning,
thoroughly,
cleaning
a
firehouse
every
so
often
to
make
sure
that
our
firefighters,
a
living
in
breathing
in
an
environment,
that's
healthy
I
also
want
to
make
sure
that
our
public
works
workers.
K
U
A
What
time
period.
Does
that
end?
At
that
hearing
we
had
I.
Think
I
had
also
asked
if
that
relocation
and
rebuild
would
happen,
regardless
of
a
sale
and
a
vote,
and
the
answer
was
yes,
although
it
would
then
have
to
come
from
other
parts
of
the
budget
and
make
it
look
stressful,
but
that
there
is
urgency
to
that.
Regardless
of
this
other
conversation,
so
chief
or
whomever.
What
is
the
timeline
in
terms
of
when
those
services
needs
to
start
being
pulled
away?
So.
U
The
next
step
for
us
really
is
that,
on
that,
other
track,
essentially,
is
to
bring
in
a
consultant
who
can
help
us
do
a
programming
study
that
looks
at
more
in
depth
at
sort
of
the
nature
of
the
spaces
and
what
adjacencies
makes
sense
in
the
modernization
of
our
facilities
and
then
figures
out.
What
the?
How
do
you,
design
and
construct
a
building
around
that
church
lands
is
more
the
expert
than
at
least
I
am,
but
we
wouldn't
expect
to
be
able
to
go
out
with
that
in
2019.
U
A
U
U
So
we
are
redoing
the
water
line
in
the
sewer
line
this
year
we
are
sort
of
wrapping
up
a
contract.
Omar
was
here
just
left.
Who
was
our
budget
analyst
to
help
us
manage
help
us
with
our
elevator
banks
in
foreigner
frontage
road?
So
there's
some
minor
maintenance
contracts
and
then
the
water
and
sewer
line
are
more
significant
reconstruction
projects.
A
U
So
this
isn't
our
ANF
office
or
see
if
I
was
been
taking
a
look
at
essentially
it
would
there
there's
some
added
complexity,
which
has
an
impact
about
whether
you
would
go
with
a
lease
or
a
sale
and
something
which
we
had
talked
about
in
August,
and
we
can
rather
than
speak
and
get
you
sort
of
her
specific,
take
on
exactly
that
question
about
the
impact
of
bonds.
It
would
just
it
adds
a
layer
of
complexity.
It
doesn't
change
any
as
I
understand
it
doesn't
change.
It
doesn't
limit
our
options
in
any
way.
Well,.
W
A
A
U
A
A
U
A
V
U
A
U
W
They
were
engaged
and
they
were
engaged
during
the
IB
2030
process.
The
plans
that
they
have
proposed
currently
take
into
account
that
we
currently
have
uses
on
the
site
and
have
worked
around
those
uses.
I
can't
speak
to
whether
or
not
they
would
have
any
evolution
or
future
change
of
those
plans.
Okay,.
A
Has
the
city
done
any
sort
of
analysis
of
not
just
the
costs
of
the
relocation
and
sort
of
direct
costs,
but
the
economic
benefits
of
flood
prevention
that
we
would
potentially
see
from
the
site
or
stormwater
management
or
sort
of
costs
avoided
for
evacuation
right?
It's
out
of
that
kind
of
climate
protection,
type
value.
W
Work
along
those
lines
as
it
relates
to
the
benefits
of
protecting
our
city
now,
and
the
cost
of
that
benefit
compared
to
the
cost
later
has
been
done
through
some
of
the
district
planning
at
the
through
the
climate
ready
district
plans.
I
do
not
know
if
anyone
has
been
done
for
this
site,
I
don't
believe
it
has,
but
we
can
follow
up
with
you
on
that.
Okay,.
W
In
opportunities
where
we
have
significant
enough
sites
where
you
can
think
about
those
district
solutions,
they
are
being
contemplated.
A
good
example
of
that
would
be
the
current
process.
That's
ongoing
at
Suffolk
Downs,
that
is
a
district
scale
type
project,
certainly
contemplating
what
can
be
done
as
it
relates
to
water
attention,
stormwater
retention
and
and
ultimately,
resiliency
related
to
a
sea-level
rise
on
that
site.
That
then
protects
the
broader
use,
Boston
neighborhood,
those
are
district
solutions,
not
building
specific.
A
Okay,
so
I
guess
just
to
summarize,
and
please
just
I'm,
just
saying
this,
to
ask.
If
you'll
confirm
my
understanding
of
the
conversation
today
that
first
there
is
urgency
to
move
the
city
services
portion,
but
that
the
earliest
that
that
would
even
begin
to
happen
is
2020
and
that
that
would
happen,
regardless
of
anything
else,
that,
regardless
of
what
the
site
becomes
that
that
would
need
to
happen,
and
it
becomes
a
matter
of
the
city
absorbing
the
150
to
175
million
on
the
capital
budget.
Some
way.
U
A
And
secondly,
that
the
VRA
has
already
is
ready
to
go
potential
authorization
wise
with
an
RFI
but
not
an
RFP
that
it
do.
You
have
a
draft
already,
but
it's
not
the
content
hasn't
necessarily
been
created,
and
the
conversation
now
is:
is
the
agency
and
the
administration
willing
to
engage
in
a
mini
planning
process
to
inform
a
process
to
us?
A
I'll
say
a
public
process
to
inform
the
RFI
before
it
goes
out
and
then
finally,
the
the
what
I
would
want
to
follow
up
on
is
whether
there
is
an
opportunity
to
talk
seriously
about
the
council
having
an
additional
opportunity
to
weigh
in
and
I
know.
We
have
opportunities
away
in
at
every
BPD
board,
meeting,
etcetera,
etcetera,
but
another
vote
sometime
further
down
in
the
process.
U
Can
I
just
one
note
on
that?
If
you
think
there
is
a
difference
between
very
specific
difference
relate
to
the
work
that
we're
doing
between
Winthrop
Square
and
this
particular
project,
and
that
is
because
the
our
ability
to
actually
sort
of
relocate
city
services-
it's
something
which
inherently
you
guys,
are
gonna,
be
voting
on
in
the
capital
budget.
So
in
many
ways
there
is
another
voting
opportunity
on
this
particular
that's
very
much
related
to
this
particular
thing.
I
realize
it's
not
specifically
what
you're
saying,
but
it's
one
point
out
that
there
is.
A
I
mean
I,
appreciate
that
and
I
will
remember
that
come
budget
time,
but
I
think
it's
difficult.
It's
always
hard
on
the
council,
because
we
don't
have
the
ability
to
make
any
specific
changes
to
the
budget
that
it's
hard
to
threaten
the
99%
else
that
we
would
want
to
support
in
the
budget
for
one
minor
quibble
that
when
we
have
the
opportunity
to
separate
something
out,
and
especially
something
as
significant
as
this,
it's
it's
different.
Okay.
So
anything
else
from
my
two
very
patient
colleagues,
councillor
sabi,
George,
you're,
good.
A
T
Did
I
hear
mention
was
the
planned
ugly
process,
which
there
has
been
multiple
occasions
where
we
have
opposed
BPD
a
stance
and
they've
said:
oh,
no,
we
don't
need
a
moratorium.
They
repeated
it
to
us
five
times
in
our
own
neighborhood.
When
it
came
to
Roxbury
said
we
don't
need
a
moratorium
five
times,
they're,
not
open
for
community
input
and
now
say
that
and
that's
why
we
can't
trust
them.
Thank.
A
You
will
okay,
thank
you,
everyone
for,
for
your
patience
and
for
coming
to
our
second
hearing.
This
will
conclude
the
City
Council's
hearing
on
docket
number,
one:
zero,
eight,
seven
message
in
order
to
declare
surplus
city
owned,
former
Public
Works
Department
parcels
at
frontage
road.
This
hearing
is
adjourned.
