B
The
BTD
recommended
budget
for
FY,
2013
ein
point
three
million
dollars
or
a
three
point:
six
percent
1.3
million
dollar
increase
over
the
previous
fiscal
year
and
that
budgets
really
focused
on
supporting
the
roughly
430
women
and
men
of
the
Boston
Transportation
Department
in
driving
forward
the
mayor's
long-term
goal
for
transportation.
A
plan
called
go
Boston
2030.
B
That
plan
as
folks
know,
is
really
rooted
in
the
idea
that
we
need
to
find
ways
to
continue
to
manage
Boston's
growth,
to
lower
our
emissions
from
transportation
and
to
improve
access
to
the
great
opportunities
of
this
region
more
equitably
for
everybody.
And
we
know
that
in
order
to
be
able
do
that,
there's
a
couple
of
key
things
we
need
to
be
able
to
do.
We
need
to
make
our
streets
safer,
particularly
folks,
who
want
to
walk
or
bike.
B
We
need
to
make
our
roadway
network
simply
more
reliable
per
tipping
for
folks
for
our
buses
or
who
are
driving,
and
we
just
need
to
expand
greater
access
to
transportation
choices
across
our
entire
city
more
equitably.
We're
going
to
briefly
touch
on
some
of
the
work
we
got
accomplished
in
FY
19
and
some
of
the
investments
and
goals
we
have
for
FY,
23,
key
objectives
of
safety,
accessibility
and
reliability
on
the
safety
front.
B
We
have
made
progress
over
the
last
three
years
in
lowering
the
number
of
fatalities
in
our
streets,
but
we
have
a
long
way
to
go
to
get
to
that
goal
of
zero,
which
is
why,
in
this
budget
and
over
the
past
few
years,
with
great
credit,
union'
Gupta
as
well
as
Charlotte
Fleetwood
on
his
team,
we've
been
making
investments
in
improvements
in
a
variety
of
quarters
across
the
city
of
Boston,
from
Roxbury
Roslindale,
Matapan,
South
Boston.
This
councillor
Flint
touched
on
yesterday
in
this
budget.
B
There
are
there's
specific
funding
dedicated
to
a
number
of
areas,
including
Centre
Street,
in
West
Roxbury,
which
was
a
something
which
councillor
O'malley
had
prioritized
as
well
as
key
intersections
in
our
city,
like
Matapan
Square,
an
additional
network
on
key
corridors
and
key
intersections
across
the
city.
We
are
also
making
those
sort
of
basic
improvements
in
our
streets,
largely
for
the
good
work
of
our
operations.
B
Putting
in
better
pedestrian
signals
about
15
key
intersections
in
our
city
as
well
as
perhaps
most
notably
restriping
about
1200
crosswalks
in
our
city
and
redoing
over
100
miles
of
lane
markings
in
the
city
of
Boston
about
three
years
ago
that
by
our
estimate,
the
percent
of
roadway
markings
in
a
state
of
good
repair
was
below
40
percent.
Our
objective,
our
ambitious
goal
for
the
end
of
this
coming
fiscal
year.
Instead
of
about
85
percent
of
all
of
our
crosswalks
lane
markings,
etc
in
a
state
of
good
repair,
with
more
progress,
obviously
ahead
from
there.
B
In
addition
to
that
work
that
team,
the
operations
division
in
collaboration
with
our
planning
team
is
continuing
to
deploy
things
like
radar,
speed
feedback
signs,
we've
got
about
60
in
our
streets.
So
far,
we're
gonna
put
another
20
on
our
roadways
in
the
year
ahead,
as
well
as
about
50
LED
lit
crosswalk
signs
on
city
of
Boston
streets.
In
addition
to
those
for
that
core
work
and
many
of
our
corridors,
we
obviously
have
a
cornerstone
program
called
the
neighborhood
slow
streets
program
led
by
Stephanie
SSKIN
and
her
team
I.
Believe
we
launched
the
program.
B
Three
years
ago,
two
of
the
locations,
the
Talbot
Norfolk
triangle
and
Stony
Brook
in
Jamaica
Plain,
are
already
complete
over
the
course
of
this
coming
fiscal
year.
Six
more
will
be
under
construction
and
five
more
will
be
under
design,
bringing
us
to
13
locations,
and
then
later
this
calendar
year,
we
will
be
going
back
out
to
the
community
to
be
able
to
get
our
next
round
of
neighborhood
so
streets
locations.
B
In
addition
to
all
of
these
safety
work
that
the
shell,
the
safety
work,
there's
a
huge
amount
of
our
focus
on
the
reliability
of
our
transportation
network.
One
of
the
core
ways
we
look
to
improve
the
reliability
of
our
streets
is
through
our
850
signals
that
the
Boston
Transportation
Department
manages
under
the
good
leadership
of
Don
Burgess.
They
go
through
a
regular
traffic
signal,
retiming
program.
We
have
already
retimed
37
signals
in
the
city
of
Boston
this
year,
another
20
to
go
or
the
balance
of
this
fiscal
year.
We
intend
to
retire.
B
Another
60
signals
next
fiscal
year,
really
again
focusing
on
those
corridors
where
we
want
to
be
able
to
move
people
on
buses,
address
congestion,
put
in
meeting
pedestrian
intervals
and
things
that
are
generally
improving
the
flow
of
people
throughout
the
city
of
Boston.
In
addition
to
that,
this
particular
budget
also
supports
some
additional
work
within
our
signals.
B
B
Those
should
be
all
filled
by
the
end
of
this
fiscal
year,
and
much
of
the
increase
in
this
particular
operating
budget
is
actually
new
ways
of
supporting
that
team,
improving
their
fleet
and
upgrading
their
radios
to
give
them
greater
greater
tools
when
they're
out
there
doing
things
like
enforcing
double
parking,
enforcing
illegal
parking
across
the
city
of
Boston.
Many
of
the
concerns
we
hear
from
every
all
of
you
every
single
day.
B
In
addition
to
that
work,
our
engineering
team
is
also
very
focused
on
making
sure
that,
as
Boston
builds
as
all
the
constructions
happening
in
our
city,
it's
happening
in
a
way
that
actually
keeps
our
streets
moving,
and
so
we
have
an
entire
group
in
our
engineering
division.
Who's
very
focused
on
the
construction
management
plans
of
all
the
work
that's
happening
in
Boston
envision,
the
work
of
our
engineering
and
Enforcement
Division.
B
In
addition
to
that
work
on
unsafety
and
reliability,
we
have
a
huge
focus,
obviously
on
ensuring
that
there's
really
equitable
access
to
good
forms
of
transportation
choices
across
our
city.
One
of
those
transportation
options
is
the
publicly
run
blue
bike
system
coordinate
by
banette
and
Stephanie's
team,
with
a
lot
of
leadership
by
Kim
volts.
B
Last
year
we
had
1.7
million
trips
on
blue
bikes
across
the
four
or
now
five
municipalities,
Boston
Brookline
came
or
Summerville
and
Everett
will
be
joining,
that
is
the
most
we've
ever
had
and
that
sort
of
spread
across
the
19,000
plus
members,
as
well
as
those
who
take
daily
trips
on
that
system.
As
many
of
you
know,
we've
been
expanding
the
blue
bike
network.
B
We
installed
50
new
stations
last
year
and
with
some
additional
funding
in
this
budget,
we're
gonna
bring
50
more
stations
to
Boston
streets
being
able
to
help
us
get
further
beyond
the
downtown
core
into
West
Roxbury
West
Roxbury,
Dorchester
Roslindale.
In
addition
to
that,
be
able
to
actually
have
greater
station
density
in
those
places
we're
seeing
the
most
number
of
trips,
some
of
our
job,
centers
and
key
corridors,
main
street
districts,
etc.
B
In
addition
to
that
work,
we
know
that
biking
will
only
be
a
choice
that
more
people
will
take
if
we're
putting
in
better
bike
infrastructure,
which
is
why,
in
this
burglar
budget,
there's
about
ten
point,
six
million
dollars
of
bike,
specific
funding
which
has
been
been
designated,
that
is
going
to
help
us
create
more
high-quality
bike
infrastructure
across
the
city.
The
end
of
2017.
We
had
roughly
three
and
a
half
miles
of
separated
bike
lanes
in
the
city
of
Boston.
B
By
the
end
of
this
year,
we
expect
to
more
than
double
that
to
be
around
eight
miles
of
protected
bike
lanes
with
another
between
five
and
six
miles
of
protected
bike
lanes
in
construction.
These
are
some
of
the
key
areas
that
many
folks
in
this
room
have
long
advocated
for
things.
Product
projects
would
be
wrapping
up
like
the
combat
project.
B
In
addition
to
that,
there
is
money
which
is
new
in
this
budget,
which
is
really
to
support
Stephanie
and
her
team
to
accelerate
our
the
planning
of
a
high
quality
commuter
bike.
Now
across
the
city
of
Boston.
That's
really
in
two
different
parts.
One
part
is
to
really
make
sure
that
we
are
creating
those
sort
of
last
mile
connections,
particularly
within
the
downtown
core
or
League,
or
these
four
business
centers
of
our
city.
B
It's
one
thing
to
be
able
to
have
a
great
route
along
the
Southwest
corridor,
but
if
that,
if
you
do
not
feel
safe
at
the
end
of
the
Southwest
Quarter
to
get
to
your
final
destination,
then
you
may
not
choose
to
be
able.
You
may
not
choose
to
be
able
to
hop
on
a
bike.
So
what
Stephanie's
team
is
going
to
be
able
to
do
over
the
course.
B
In
addition
to
that
work
to
be
able
to
expand
access
to
better
bike
infrastructure
and
more
bikes
across
the
city,
there's
work
which
is
really
being
led
by
Coleman
Flaherty
and
some
folks
on
his
team
to
think
about
how
we
bring
more
Evie
charging
to
the
neighborhoods
I
shouldn't
have
any
team
as
well
on
this.
The
there's
money
in
this
budget
specifically
to
add
Evie
charging
to
our
municipal
Lots
in
about
30
minutes
plots
across
the
city
of
Boston.
B
So,
over
the
course
of
this
fiscal
year,
we
intend
to
bring
Evie
charging
spaces
to
those
locations,
knowing
that,
if
we
want
to
hit
our
emissions
reductions
goals
that
we
all
have,
we
all
hold
very
highly.
We
need
to
help
more
residents
be
able
to
if
they
have
a
car
to
shift
from
an
internal
combustion
engine
to
an
electric
vehicle,
and
we
need
infrastructure
to
help
that
help.
People
achieve
that.
So
the
easy
charging
infrastructure
will
will
help
support
more
choices
by
residents
in
our
city
who
wanna
shift
v's,
as
well
as
through
vineet
leadership.
B
We're
going
to
be
changing
the
the
regulations
in
the
city
of
Boston
so
that
all
new
private
garages
in
the
city
of
Boston
will
be
wired
so
that
every
single
one
of
the
spaces
can
be
outfitted
with
an
e
V
charger
and
the
25%
of
them
from
the
start
will
be
outfitted
with
an
e
V
charger.
All
of
that
work,
whether
it's
about
safety
in
our
streets,
the
reliability
of
our
transportation
network,
improving
access
to
good
transportation
choices.
That
is
the
work
which
we've
been
partnering.
B
With
view
on,
we
appreciate
your
support
on
this
appreciate
the
the
leadership
of
the
for
folks
who
I'm
joined
with
here
and,
in
particular,
all
the
women
and
men
who
work
really
hard
for
the
Boston
Transportation
Department
every
single
day
who
are
not
in
this
room
today,
because
they
are
out
on
the
streets
doing
all
the
the
really
critical
work
so
with
that
I.
Thank
you
for
the
time
to
give
some
opening
remarks.
A
On
your
your
whole
entire
team
in
the
whole
departments,
so
thanks
before
I
open
it
up
to
my
colleagues,
I'm,
going
to
call
a
few
members
from
the
public
down
for
public
testimony,
Steve,
Jonas,
Stacy,
Thompson
and
Becca
Wolfson,
and
want
to
testify
just
asking
you
keep
it
to
around
three
minutes
a
lot.
Please.
C
Thank
you
very
much.
My
name
is
Steve
Jonas
I'm,
a
resident
of
the
downtown
area
and
I
couldn't
be
more
strongly
with
the
premise
for
holding
these
hearings,
which
is,
as
the
city
has
invested,
in
vision,
zero
and
neighborhood
slow
streets,
but
the
improvements
are
painfully
slow
and
insufficient
to
meet
the
needs
of
our
neighborhoods.
This
is
the
third
time
of
testifying
before
the
City
Council
on
related
topics.
C
According
to
the
vision,
zero
update
that
was
recently
published
between
2016
and
2018,
there
been
29
pedestrians
killed
on
our
streets
and
2345
pedestrian
injuries
that
required
EMS
response.
So
these
are
not
safe
streets
and
I
spend
a
lot
of
time
walking
in
other
cities
and
they're
safer
than
Boston
streets.
C
I've
testified
before
about
the
desire
for
automated
enforcement
to
something
that
could
help
him.
Boston
particularly
read,
write,
read
light
running
cameras,
I
have
not
heard
anything
in
any
of
the
budgets
about
studying
this
topic.
Cities
like
New
York,
have
been
using
these
for
now
16
years
to
great
effect
and
there's
a
lot
of
data
on
on
the
results.
C
I
would
ask
you,
city,
council,
the
police
support
senator
Browns
Burgers
Senate
bill
137,
six,
which
is
a
thoughtful
and
comprehensive
approach
to
automated
enforcement,
and
it's
time
we
study
this
and
look
at
it,
but
more
immediately.
We
need
more
dollars,
urgency
and
accountability
for
street
calming
yeah
if
the
city
gets
religion
after
a
high-profile
fatality
and
responds
with
obvious
and
appropriate
steps
for
street
calming
it's
time
that
we
realized
that
those
steps
are
appropriate
most
likely
everywhere.
C
We
hope
to
come
and
work
with
the
city
to
create
some
standards
for
this
downtown
core
and
come
up
with
things
that
are
safer
for
all
the
modes
of
transportation,
the
cars,
the
bikes,
the
scooters
and
the
pedestrians.
We
hear
a
lot
less
about
pedestrians
that
we
do
about
cars
and
bicycles.
I
would
like
you
to
commit
to
having
more
dollars
and
more
urgency
on
this
topic,
particularly
for
pedestrian
safety.
C
D
Thank
you,
I'm
Stacy
Thompson,
the
executive
director
of
livable
streets,
Alliance
and
a
Boston
resident
and
I'm
hoping
to
keep
this
too
far
less
than
30
minutes,
because
I
know
we
have
lots
of
questions
today.
I
wanted
to
thank
the
City
Council
for
participating
in
this
hearing
and
everyone
for
showing
up
and
I
want
to
say.
Thank
you
and
and
start
the
premise
of
my
comments
today
by
saying
last
year.
At
this
time
we
were
having
a
conversation
about
adding
5
million
dollars
and
20
new
staff
to
the
BTD
budget,
and
you
all
approved
that.
D
So
thank
you
because
it
was
important
and
we,
as
advocates
supported
that
decision.
But
today
my
question
is
so
then
what
does
that
mean
now
and
how
are
we
implementing
projects?
And
why
are
we
still
here
asking
for
you
to
move
faster
and
do
more?
You
know
our
job
at
livable
streets
is
to
sit
across
the
city
across
many
different
processes,
and
so
we
see
patterns.
D
For
example,
I
sit
on
the
northern
Avenue
task
force,
bridge
meeting
Lee
spent
1.6
million
dollars
on
a
consultant
last
year
and
we
don't
even
have
a
single
rendering
of
a
bike
cut
only
bridge
the
preferred
community
option:
1.6
million
dollars.
Meanwhile,
on
Columbia
Road
for
two
years,
we've
come
to
this
hearing
and
said
that
we've
have
$100,000
we're
going
to
start
a
process
and
then
nothing
has
happened.
We
have
commune
members
who
just
want
a
crosswalk
painted.
D
We
have
sent
lists
of
very
simple
signals:
crosswalks
parklet
options
and
nothing
has
happened,
and
I
am
quite
certain
that
folks
in
that
community
will
be
upset
to
hear
we're.
Gonna
start
a
process
to
hire
a
person
to
begin
a
process
in
the
fall
to
start
talking
about
solutions.
You
know,
where
is
that
imbalance?
And
how
do
we
focus
on
the
how
today
I've
heard
we
have
enough
resources?
So
how
do
we
move
more
quickly
and
more
efficiently?
D
I
would
recommend
that
the
council
asked
for
an
org
chart
between
the
the
Public
Works
and
BTD
and
understand
those
reporting
structures
and
how
they've
changed
since
we've
added
20
new
staff
and
a
timeline
for
implementation.
So
we
know,
is
this
money
going
to
a
consultant
for
a
plan
or
for
implementation
this
year?
Thank
you.
So
much
and
I
look
forward
to
the
conversation
today.
Thank.
A
E
Hi
there,
my
name
is
Becca
Wolfson
I'm,
the
executive
director
of
the
Boston
cyclists
Union.
Thank
you
so
much
to
all
the
council
members
for
being
here
today
and
holding
this
public
hearing
and
allowing
for
comments
and
thank
you
to
the
BTD
leadership
for
being
here
as
well.
We
have
positive
things
to
say
about
what's
in
the
budget
so
far,
but
there's
also
a
lot.
That's
missing
the
additional
$1,000,000
for
bike
projects
is
a
good
start.
E
The
commitment
to
improving
Mass
Ave
for
cyclist
and
pedestrian
safety
from
Harrison
to
Columbia
Road
is
a
significant
commitment,
one
that
the
community
has
been
asking
for
for
a
long
time,
and
we
appreciate
that.
However,
we
believe
that
the
budget
and
commitments
are
not
enough
and
that's
what
we
really
want
to
drive
home
today
is
that
arterioles
and
our
busiest
roads
need
to
be
made
safer
and
more
inviting
for
people
using
modes
other
than
vehicles.
E
We
recently
did
some
research
to
see
how
many
bike
lanes
our
major
major
in
comparable
North
American
cities,
have
been
implementing
in
New
York
City,
almost
100
miles
of
separated
bike
lanes
were
implemented
on
city
streets.
In
a
10-year
period,
from
20
2007
to
2017
in
2018,
there
are
more
than
30
miles
in
planning
and
design
and
being
constructed
in
Montreal
a
city.
That's
so
much
like
Boston
they're,
more
than
200
miles
of
separated
bike
lanes.
E
As
chief
Osgood
said
in
the
last
four
years,
we've
built
eight,
the
city's
go
Boston
2030
plan
has
a
short-term
vision
and
a
longer-term
vision.
The
short
term
vision
which
needs
to
be
completed
by
2022
has
32
miles
of
separated
bike
lanes
in
the
network,
and
so
we've
built
eight.
We
need
to
build
almost
25
and
this
budget
only
claims
to
commit
to
building
15
in
three
years
so
by
the
mayor's
own
budget,
we're
falling
short
by
10
miles.
E
The
city
did
an
incredible
job
on
creating
the
high
crash
Network,
so
we
can
see
where
those
crashes
are
occurring
and
probably
not
a
single
one
could
be
addressed
through
the
neighborhood
slow
streets
program.
So
with
so
many
million
dollars
put
into
neighborhoods
low
streets.
It's
time
to
shift
that
to
the
arterioles
that
can
have
a
bigger
impact.
We
know
there's
some
really
smart
people
on
the
city's
team.
E
F
Thank
You
council
co-moh,
and
thank
you
to
the
panelists
for
being
here
a
the
opportunity
recently
to
do
a
walking
tour
with
Walk
Boston,
the
cyclist
union
as
well
talking
about
vision,
zero,
pedestrian
safety
is
really
my
number
one
issue.
I
worked
with
council
Baker
on
trying
to
get
the
speed
limit
reduced
from
25
to
20
miles
an
hour.
I
know
the
mayor
recently
announced
he
also
is
in
agreement
with
that.
Also,
it
has
to
be
strict
enforcement
of
the
current
speeding
laws
as
well.
Chief,
what's
the
latest
on
reduction
of
the
speed
limit.
G
Yeah,
so
that's
something
that
we
would
have
to
there
two
pieces
to
it.
One
is
that
to
do
it
citywide
we
would
have
to
work
with
the
state
legislature,
the
other
pieces,
that
there
are
poverty
school
zones
where
we
are
where
we
can,
and
we
have
been
from
for
many
years
posting
and
enforcing
at
20
miles
an
hour
speed
limit.
G
We
also
have
20
miles
an
hour
speed
limits
within
our
neighborhood
safety
zones
that
we've
established
the
Commissioner
of
the
Transportation
Department
has
the
authority-
and
we
talked
about
this
at
a
previous
hearing-
that
you
had-
that
we
participated
in
to
post,
more
safety
zones,
and
one
approach
is
for
us
to
focus
in
on
working
hand-in-hand
with
the
elderly
Commission
to
focus
in
on
locations
that
they
identify
for
us
that
can
be
posted
for
20
miles
an
hour
as
well.
So
we
just
have
to
do
it
kind
of
in
a
strategic
and
plan
way.
Thank.
F
You
for
you
thank
you
for
your
response
and
I
know
you
highlighted
safe
routes
for
our
schoolchildren,
but
the
safe
routes
to
school
coordinator
at
bps
is
a
critical
program,
as
is
the
data
analyst
position
with
the
Boston
Police
but
compiling
that
type
of
data.
So
we
have
the
information,
so
we
can
better
make
decisions
on
on
pedestrian
safety.
F
Briefly,
I
know
we
discuss
rapid
flash
beacons,
chief
that
stop
and
shop
in
South
Boston
right
aid,
nap,
which
is
now
Walgreens
on
on
East
Broadway,
also
on
West,
Broadway
and
F
outside
of
the
health
center.
What
are
some
of
the
infrastructure
problems
as
it
relates
to
West,
Broadway,
East,
Broadway,
sure.
B
One
of
things
we
obviously
have
some
conversations
about
with
the
right
traffic
calming
measures
along
along
those
corridors.
Some
of
the
things
that
this
budget
allows
us
to
focus
on
or
invest
in
are
some
of
those
new
elements
of
signage,
as
we've
talked
about,
there
I
believe
it's
two
lanes
and
in
some
locations
in
both
directions
that
we
may
need
to
look
at
some
different
roadway
configurations
to
really
actually
calm
speeds
in
both
East
Broadway
and
West
Broadway.
Okay,.
F
B
As
part
of
the
both
our
reconstruction
and
resurfacing
work,
we
are
looking
to
figure
out
ways.
We
can
both
have
more
raised
crosswalks
on
on
side
streets
as
well
as
raising
intersections,
and
so
we
can.
We
can
look
at
those
locations.
I,
don't
know
when
L
Street
is
next
up
for
for
resurfacing.
In
the
shorter
term,
we
can
look
at
some
of
the
stop
sign
or
other
other
changes
to
L
Street.
B
B
Second
District
Council
councillors
that
comes
district
to
make
that
possible,
so
we're
gonna
be
doing
more
intensive
planning
over
the
course
of
the
FY
20
year
to
look
particularly
the
downtown
area,
but
particularly
those
connections
to
job
quarters,
so
that
we
can
then
really
map
out.
How
do
we
fill
those
gaps
in
the
subsequent
years
and.
F
Then
my
final,
my
final
question
or
a
point
as
I
referenced
earlier,
there's
not
a
day
that
goes
by
where
my
elderly
parents
are
walking
the
streets
of
South
Boston
with
their
disabled
grandson,
who
can't
walk,
and
there
he's
in
a
wheelchair
and
they'll
be
walking
very
slow
and
crossing
in
the
crosswalk
in
a
car
will
go
by
them.
You
know
forty
miles
an
hour.
I
see
it
all
the
time
with
the
elderly,
going
to
church
up
at
st.
F
Bridget's,
okay
to
heaven
or
or
going
to
the
shop
and
shopping
store
of
our
parents,
taking
their
kids,
walking
their
kids
to
school
or
kids
going
to
the
basketball
court
up
at
the
Tainan
or
at
the
boys
club
or
at
the
content.
That's
that's
my
number
one
concern
as
a
city
councilor.
How
do
we
keep
our
streets
and
sidewalks
safe
for
everybody,
and
certainly
it's
lowering
the
speed
limit?
Certainly
it's
enforcing
the
current
speed,
speeding
regulations,
but
it's
also
the
infrastructure
improvements
that
you've
been
talking
about
he
and
doing
as
well.
F
So
you
know
if
it
was
up
to
me:
I'd
decrease
the
speed
limit
or
another
five
miles
an
hour.
I
want
I
want
this
city
to
be
as
safe
as
possible,
and
we
need
to
do
everything
we
possibly
can
to
slow
down
the
traffic
enforce
the
traffic
laws
provide
as
much
infrastructure
improvement
as
we
can,
but
again.
Thank
you
chief.
Thank
you.
H
Thank
you
very
much
mr.
chair
and
welcome.
Graduations
Greg
for
acting
commissioner.
Well
deserved.
You've
been
doing
a
great
job
for
many
many
years.
I
will
say
special
thanks
to
Karla
tankles,
since
she's
been
put
in
as
kind
of
into
government
or
relations
person,
she's
just
great
to
work
with
and
text
you
back
in
a
minute,
Saturdays
or
Sundays.
It
doesn't
matter
so
I
want
to
thank
Allah
for
being
there
for
us
chief.
You
talked
about
the
radar
signs.
A
couple
years
ago,
I
had
requested
a
couple
signs
in
High
Park
on
Austin
and
summer.
H
There
cut
through
streets.
They
got
put
in
the
neighbors
are
extremely
happy
at
the
grew
Street
Neighborhood
Association,
which
includes
myopia
Road,
West,
Street
Austin.
All
of
that
area.
They
talk
about
the
the
speeding
how
it
really
has
reduced.
Can
you
give
me
an
idea
of
how
many
new
ones
we're
gonna
put
in
how
we
can
request
them
and
what's
the
difference
between
the
cost
of
the
or
the
effectiveness
of
the
solar-powered
ones
and
the
hardwired?
B
So
we
have,
in
this
budget
I,
believe
twenty
additional
radar,
speed,
feedback
signs,
I,
don't
know
the
relative
effectiveness.
There
are
some
there's
some
good
research,
though,
on
the
effectiveness
of
these
signs
in
general,
for
decreasing,
particularly
I,
wasn't
speeding,
and
so
they
are
effective,
and
it
is
something
which
we
know
that
more
residents
want
do.
Let
us
know,
as
deca
I
think
referenced.
B
H
Yeah
the
generally
needs
like
they'll,
give
you
the
perfect
spot
is
over
by
the
colony
school
off
a
poplar.
You
know:
Glendower
Cornell,
Beach,
they're,
all
racing
from
pop
live
street
to
get
over
to
Washington,
Street
and
and
it's
it's
kind
of
a
double-edged
swords.
Public
Works
came
in
repave
the
street,
so
now
the
streets
beautiful.
So
now
it's
like
it's
the
Indy
500
now,
which
you
know
it's
it's
it's
problematic
and
we've
talked
about
speed,
bumps
or
speed
humps.
Where
are
we
with
those?
H
As
far
as
a
true
layout
and
I'll
be
honest
with
you
from
my
days
in
Public,
Works
I've
defended
not
putting
them
on
there
because
I've
seen
you
know,
I
saw
a
guy
with
a
compound
fracture
of
his
wrist
because
he
hit
a
casting
that
was
put
up
and
I
realized
that
if
they're
not
done
properly,
people
get
hurt.
I
do
realize
that
fire
engines,
especially
not
ladders,
but
the
engine
themselves,
full
with
water
full
with
the
water
bladder.
They
have
to
almost
come
to
a
complete,
stop.
H
B
So
we
we
are
putting
speed
humps
back
on
our
streets.
A
lot
of
that
is
through
the
work
that
stephanie
is
doing
in
collaboration
with
Katie
HOV.
When
you
heard
what
yesterday
and
Laura
Anthony
the
we
think,
we
have
a
profile
that
works
both
for
emergency
respondent
responders,
but
also
be
able
to
calm
traffic
so
places
like
Stony
Brook,
as
in
the
Talbot,
nor
for
triangular
places
with
over
getting
installed.
We've
also
redone,
some
of
the
other
ones
that
had
previously
existed
in
in
Jamaica
plan
on
places
like
Pond
Street.
B
In
addition
to
that,
we
are
mindful
that
there
are
other
locations
in
the
city
where
we
can
do
this
almost
more
as
a
matter
of
course,
and
during
sort
of
routine
resurfacing,
I
believe
6th
Street
was
one
of
those
places
in
South
Boston,
where
last
year
we
put
one
in,
and
so
we
do
want
to
look
at
other
places
in
the
city
where
we
might
be
able
to
more
quickly
deploy
speed
humps
as
a
way
of
calming
traffic
on
residential
streets.
Ok,.
H
We
had
the
bus
lane
put
in
Rossdale,
as
you
alluded
to
it,
was
pleasure
working
with
you
when
in
myitlab
councillor
from
Roz
and
Dale
as
well
generally
really
a
lot
of
positive
came
out
of
that.
There
were
I
took
a
lot
of
negatives
because
people
don't
call
it
Lodge
counselors.
They
call
me
so
anybody
who
couldn't
park
in
fron,
Washington
Street
I
got
the
the
pushback
on
that
I
was
willing
to
take
it
because,
ultimately,
it's
really
worth
it
safer
for
bikers
safer,
for
you
know,
and
obviously
much
quicker
for
the
buses.
Have.
H
You
said
that
is
there
any
additional?
You
know,
I
look
at
hi,
Park,
Ave
and-
and
you
know,
I
won't
be
here
to
receive
those
calls.
But
you
know
that's
it.
That's
another
opportunity,
there's
a
lot
of
parking
spaces
there,
but
a
bus.
You
know
we
talk
about
the
cost
of
the
MBTA
commuter
rail
from
there
675
now
650,
which
is
ridiculous.
H
But
if
you
could
take
a
bus
from
Wolcott
Square
to
Forest
Hills
in
a
bus
lane,
you
know
I
mean
it'll
cause
a
havoc
for
a
little
while,
but
once
when
everybody
gets
in,
can
you
talk
about
how
much
it?
How
much
it
costs
to
put
it
down
and
then
for
the
first
couple
weeks.
I
know
we
we
had
people
there
all
the
time
which
is
which
is
costly,
but
the
thought
of
having
a
direct
route.
I
mean
I.
H
Look
at
my
commute
and
when
I
come
in
here
you
know
it
can
be
anywhere
from
50
minutes
to
an
hour
and
45
minutes
to
get
in
or
out
depending
all
the
time
I
leave
the
hall.
But
it's
I'm
really
only
eight
and
a
half
miles
away
yep.
So
if
there
was
a
if
there
was
a
straight
shot
from
hype,
a
cab
to
get
me
from
High
Park
Ave
to
Forest,
Hills
and
I
could
jump
on.
You
know
the
that's
how
we
go
into
when
we
bike
to
work.
You
go
they.
H
B
Just
to
talk
quickly
and
then
you
need
a
Greg
Holman,
always
jump
in
on
impact
costs
indents
for
next
steps.
The
impact
site
on
Roslindale
we
basically
saw
during
the
am
commute
that
it's
for
the
peak
time
of
reduced
trips
by
anywhere
from
20
to
25
percent.
So
and
it's
too
general
greater
reliability
and,
as
you
noted
across
all
modes,
really
generally
positively
embraced
I
do
agree.
We
certainly
got
some
feedback
from
adjacent
businesses
who
had
some
concern
to
them.
So
it
is
something
which
we
are
looking
to
do.
B
One
of
the
things
which
we've
been
able
to
do
through
the
budget
through
the
additional
positions
that
states
referenced,
is
not
only
staff
up
a
transit
team,
terrific
planners
that
are
working
on
beneath
steam
to
identify
locations
the
city,
but
also
to
increase
our
enforcement
ability
so
that
we
actually
just
have
to
be
paying
overtime.
We're
actually
regularly
staffing
or
I
mean
patrolling
the
bus
lanes
to
be
able
to
keep
them
open
in
terms
of
the
next
locations.
B
One
of
the
things
we
are
doing
in
collaboration
with
the
MBTA
is
basically
creating
a
identifying
what
those
key
bus
corridors
are.
The
ones
that
we've
focused
in
on
are
those
that
have
been
essentially
mutually
identified
by
the
MBTA,
the
city
and
a
group
called
sea
GPS.
Who
did
a
terrific
analysis
of
where
you've
got
a
high
number
of
bus
riders
who
are
who
are
basically
stuck
in
traffic
and
those
corridors
like
Roslindale
like
right,
nav,
like
North,
Washington
Street
other
quarters,
we've
been
first
focused
on
okay,
thanks.
I
A
come
on
good
to
see
you
Greg,
congratulations,
aye
good
to
have
you
back
at
BTD
I,
look
forward
to
working
together,
I'm
just
gonna
go
on
council
McCarthy's
on
bus
lanes
quickly,
because
that's
one
of
my
questions,
I'm
a
fan!
It's
something
I
regularly
talk
about
when
I'm
out
with
constituents
who
are
asking
about
ways
that
the
city
can
help
improve
mass
transit
because
obviously
it
has
to
be
in
partnership
with
the
T.
Obviously,
I
think
it's
something
like
a
billion
dollars
for
a
quarter-mile
of
subway
or
its
buy
more.
I
At
this
point,
130,000
for
a
mile
sounds
like
a
bargain.
I
would
just
say
you
know,
that's
great.
Let's
see
more
of
that
I
support.
How
do
we
enforce
those-
and
it
goes
also
into
bike
lane
enforcement
as
well,
we've
great
that
we're
expanding.
We
can
always
do
more,
but
as
a
pedestrian
I'm,
not
I,
don't
bike
off
in,
but
mostly
as
a
pedestrian.
I
do
often
see
cars,
whether
it's
uber
lyft
delivery
trucks
up,
particularly
the
symphony
area,
I,
get
calls
from
constituents
about
regular.
You
know
it's
either
food
delivery.
I
You
know
carryout
GrubHub,
whatever
or
larger
commercial
deliveries
that
are
just
parking
there.
Now
some
of
these
folks
and
they're
just
sitting
as
a
cost
of
doing
business
and
they're
taking
those
tickets.
But
it's
unsafe
and
to
be
honest,
as
someone
who's
sitting
here,
trying
to
get
money
and
resources
and
fighting
those
battles,
it
is
infuriating
to
me
to
see
you
know
how
that
how
that
happens.
Can
you
speak
to
enforcement?
Is
it
your
BTD
enforcement
officers
is
a
BPD?
Is
it
transit
police
when
it
comes
to
the
bus
lanes?
B
So,
in
addition
to
obviously
what
we
did
on
Rosedale
addition
to
the
work,
I'm
bright,
Navin,
North,
Washington,
Street,
there's
money
in
this
budget
to
actually
refresh
the
red
paint
along
the
Silver
Line
corridor
on
Washington
Street
Essex
Street
in
that
is
a
key
route
within
the
city
of
Boston
ii.
Again
are
increased
or
sort
of
filling.
The
vacancies
on
parking
enforcement
will
help.
The
new
vehicles
with
parking
enforcement
will
help
the
upgraded
radios
with
parking
enforcement
will
help
will
allow
us
to
what's.
I
B
J
The
chief
just
mentioned
Tom
McKay,
has
taken
a
active
approach
to
looking
at
deployment
of
officers
in
addition
to
the
18
that
started
this
week,
we
have
another
dozen
or
so
that
will
be
starting
before
the
end
of
the
fiscal
year,
and
it's
something
that
enforcement's
near
and
dear
to
my
heart,
because
I
was
there
for
nine
years,
and
you
know
we
had
this
structure
of
shifts
and
that
just
didn't
really
work.
Well,
we
made
attempts
over
the
years
to
try
to
consolidate
and
redeploy.
We
have
a
really
good
plan.
J
Now
the
Union
is
working
with
us
on
that,
so
hopefully,
in
the
next
few
weeks,
as
we
staff
up
we'll
be
able
to
take
another
look
at
deployment,
Sunday
deployment
is
something
that's
not
currently
in
the
plans.
Obviously
I
know:
we've
we've
considered
it
over
the
years,
the
pilot
some
weekend
overtime.
So
it's
something
that
could
be
considered
again
right.
Now,
though,
it's
certainly
not
something
happening
so.
I
I
appreciate
that,
but
as
far
as
sunday
goes,
I
mean
your
enforcement
officers.
I
think
I
would
be
surprised
if
they
don't
pay
for
themselves
over
the
year,
so
to
speak,
and
particularly
in
some
of
our
busier
commercial
entertainment
districts
which
happened
to
be
in
my
city,
council
district,
but
not
all
of
them.
Sunday
is
probably
the
most
important
day
for
enforcement.
I
don't
mean
just
a
resident
parking,
but
the
bike
lanes
pedestrian
pathways.
So
I
would
like
to
consider
working
on
a
pilot
again.
I
I
will
defer
to
our
budget
experts
on
this,
but
it
seems
to
me
at
worst
it
will
be
revenue-neutral,
particularly
we're
talking
about
increased
fines
and
on
the
fine
aspect.
I
would
put
this
out.
I
know
I'm
running
out
of
time
and
the
Chairman
I
do
have
one
more
question
I
want
to
get
in,
but
you
know
$120,
that's
significant
I
mean
that's,
actually
that's
more
than
I
thought
it
was,
but
for
businesses
for
regular
delivery
trucks.
You
know,
I,
know
FedEx
and
UPS.
I
They
that's
a
cost
of
doing
business
for
them
and
that's
whatever
that's
fine,
but
it's
dangerous
and
is
there
do
we
have
other
avenues
of
I
mean
towing,
doesn't
make
sense
because
they're
not
there
long
enough,
can
we
look
at
maybe
it's
a
home
rule
situation
where
we
attach
fines
to
a
business
that
is
regularly
doing
this
and
I'm
just
I
think
we
need
to
think
more
constructively
about
this.
So
really.
B
Briefly,
that
commercial
loading
is
something
which
the
three
of
us
have
think
is
very
important
to
take
on.
We
actually
had
a
conversation
yesterday
about
one
of
the
very
short-term
things
that
we
have
been
doing,
and
we
will
actually
see
more
of
is
that
if
you
price
meters
correctly,
you
actually
get
better
turnover
meter
spots,
which
means
we've
seen
a
actual
reduction
in
the
back
day
of
illegal
parking
commercial
loading
zones,
which
means
that
we
can
get
more
commercial
loading
zone
trucks
to
the
curb.
So.
I
Just
one
quick
follow
up
mr.
chairman
is
so
going
on
the
similar
to
the
uber
lift
of
the
ride-sharing
pilot
in
the
Fenway.
I
would
like
to
see
and
III
sounds
like
you're
looking
at
this,
maybe
not
a
commercial
loading
zone
but
so
reallocating
our
curb
space
for
cars
to
pull
over
and
partnering
with
where
the
TNCs
are
working
with
us
to
use
their
geo.
Fencing
features
to
have
people,
do
it
not
just
at
Fenway
Park
or
at
the
garden
or
wherever,
but
in
a
lot
of
areas
both
for
congestion
for
bike
lanes.
B
So
right
now
we're
going
through
the
of
the
evaluation
what's
happening
on
Boylston
Street.
In
addition
to
that
evaluation,
obviously
that's
something
which
we
know
that
we
need
to
do.
We
need
to
find
a
way
to
be
able
to
scale
that
up
and
make
sure
that
what
we're
scaling
up
actually
is
enforceable
and
effective.
K
You,
mr.
chairman,
good
morning,
chief,
congratulations,
commissioner.
Thank
you
all
for
this
great
team
and
the
important
work
you
do.
I
similarly
want
to
acknowledge
the
great
work
of
Carla,
tangle
and
Jacob.
Wessel
who've
been
great
resources
to
my
team
and
me
for
the
first
round.
I
want
to
talk
about
some
big-picture
issues,
I'll
get
into
more
district
specific
in
the
second
round,
I
apologize
if
I
incurred,
but
there's
a
lot
of
information
to
get
through.
K
So
if
I
cut
you
off,
please
don't
take
offense,
beginning
with
the
three
individuals
who
spoke
during
initial
public
comment.
They
all
brought
up
great
points
that
I
agree
with
so
I'm
going
to
start
with
some
of
those
Stacy
Thompson
talked
about
the
need
for
an
org
chart,
chief
and
sort
of
particularly
between
BTD
and
DPW.
Is
that
something
you
can
furnish
us
with
great?
She
similarly
had
brought
up
the
need
for
a
timeline.
I
think
we
have
a
lot
of
good
projects,
but
maybe
they'd
be
better.
K
K
Like
but
that's
it
perfect,
thank
you.
Steve
Jonas
talked
about
red-light
cameras,
I
agree,
absolutely
completely.
I'd
even
go
one
step
further
I
think
we
should
have
speed
cameras
as
well.
I
know
that
there's
some
litigation
and
some
we're
hamstrung
someone
at
the
state
level,
but
I
guess.
Can
you
talk
very
briefly
on
efforts
at
the
state
level
to
address
that
and
why
not
pilot
it?
What
what
would
keep
us
from
piloting
having
street
cameras,
stoplight
cameras
right
now
sure.
L
B
K
Well
perhaps
that's
way
this
body
can
again
sort
of
help,
push
that
and
I
think
we're
in
agreement
there
and
then
finally,
Becca
talked
about
sort
of
our
falling
short
of
our
own
goal
in
terms
of
the
miles
of
protected
bike
lanes.
I
think
it's
about
a
ten
million
ten
mile
Delta
are
we
setting
ourselves
I,
get
I,
guess
it's
sort
of
a
two-fold
question
or
go
and
urging
us
to
sort
of
increase
that
and
hit
that
goal,
and
secondly,
are
we
being
too
aggressive
with
our
goals
and
should
we
be
more
realistic
going
forward?
K
B
Very
late
to
actually
your
earlier
questions
to
some
of
the
earlier
points.
We
are
spending
a
lot
of
time
right
now,
not
just
bringing
in
staff,
which
is
an
incredibly
important
piece
of
this,
and
a
lot
of
credit
to
the
team
around
me
for
doing
that,
but
also
thinking
about
just
what
our
processes
are
inside
of
both
BTD
and
Public
Works,
and
a
lot
of
credit
to
Dan,
lessor
and
Trish
Casey
for
their
work
on
that.
That
is
why
I
think
you
see
greater
acceleration
in
a
lot
of
the
work
that
we're
doing.
B
We
were
not
a
couple
of
years
ago
supporting
things
like
dedicated
bus
lanes.
We
put
in
one
lap,
there's
two
more
that's
coming.
We
hadn't
been
putting
in
speed,
humps
you're,
putting
in
speed
humps
now
I,
don't
even
recall
how
many
miles
of
protected
bike
lanes.
We
had
the
western
ave
4
years
ago
anyway,
that
has
accelerated
our
rate
of
implementation
itself
is
accelerating
so.
K
K
G
Street,
yes,
we
we've
shared
a
draft
plan
with
some
of
the
leadership
and
the
in
the
ship,
the
Jaypee
neighborhood
council
and
so
they've
been
looking
at
that
I'm
actually
going
tonight
for
another
meeting
hosted
by
the
JP
NC
one
of
the
subcommittee's
to
talk
about
that,
and
so,
but
right
now.
The
funding
for
that
is.
G
This
is
the
section
from
from
Forrestal
station
to
height
square,
so
the
funding
for
that
is
essentially
just
for
the
design
piece
yeah,
but
the
section
from
Hyde
Square
to
Jackson
Square
in
JP.
There's
funding
in
there
to
do
construction
this
fiscal
year
with
the
race
crosswalks
on
the
cross
streets,
some
knockouts,
maintaining
the
bike
lane.
K
Great
and
again,
I
think
I
appreciate
this,
and
this
is
why
I'm
pushing
this
is
that
we
know
people
have
cars.
We
know
that
traffic
is
an
issue.
More
people
would
use
the
T
if
it
were
more
reliable.
That's
something
we
all
stand
united
on.
More
people
would
use
bicycles
if
it
were
safer.
So
having
more
protected
bike
lanes
having
different
ways,
we
look
at
the
infrastructure
of
laying
out
our
streets.
That
really
is
absolutely
crucial
in
2019,
as
we
think
about
the
growth
in
the
city.
K
Not
only
is
it
good
to
move
people
around,
not
only
does
it
lower
our
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
not
only
does
it
make
for
a
thriving
wonderful
city,
but
the
the
health
benefits
the
safety
benefits.
I
could
go
on
and
on
I
think
I
may
have
a
couple
seconds
left
went
up
well,
the
last
question
for
this
round.
Can
we
expect
at
least
a
one
blue
bike
station
in
every
neighborhood
in
the
city
of
Boston
by
the
end
of
2019
2020?
A
M
M
B
So
I
think
there's
a
few
different
pieces,
one
obviously
as
I
think
we
all
agree
on
the
engineering
changes
are
incredibly
important,
but
the
engineering
changes
to
do
it
across
850
miles
of
streets
is
gonna,
take
more
time
than
I.
Think
any
of
us
want.
We
are,
as
we
talked
about
earlier,
getting
faster
at
making
those
changes
the
being
over
here
from
residents
where
some
of
those
specific
concerns
are
being
able
to
go
to
things
like
the
safety
concerns
map
that
bgd
is
posted.
B
It
helps
inform
where
we
make
those
where
we
make
some
of
those
investments.
So
those
those
pieces
are
important.
The
messages
that
you
guys
are
giving
to
Karla
Gregg
Tiffany
Stephanie
those
make
a
difference
for
us
as
well.
They
help
us
understand
where
we
can
best
focus
in
on
on
making
changes.
The
engineering
changes
are
simply
one
part
of
it,
though.
I
do
think
that
education
also
matters
a
lot
so
to
encourage
residents
to
be
able
to
connect
with
their
neighbors
about
about
safe
driving
practices.
B
The
reason
why
we
just
relaunched
Boston
safest
driver
again,
we
know
things
like
distracted,
driving,
harsh
braking
fast
acceleration,
speeding,
quick
cornering
these
sort
of
things
are
unsafe
driving
practices
and
that
we
want
to
be
able
to
curb
those
practices
and
so
encouraging
folks
to
make
sure
that
they
are
there
playing
their
part
in
making
our
streets
safer.
Also
matter,
so
the
advocacy
around
engineering
and
then
that
sort
of
really
community
focused
education
make
a
big
difference.
It.
M
Feels
that
I
mean
some
of
these
residents.
I've
been
talking
to
that
they've.
Just
given
up
at
this
point
in
terms
of
it's
mostly
around
Google
Maps
and
ways
and
everything
you
know,
directing
people
down
cut
through
sides,
residential
streets
has
cut
through.
Is
there
any
way
to
kind
of
work,
with
some
of
on
the
technology
side
to
carve
out
certain
areas
or
so.
B
We've
not
had
success
with
that
with
Waze
at
this
point
to
be
able
to
essentially
adjust
their
algorithms
yeah
speak
to
guide
field
towards
towards
main
arterials.
I.
Do
think
that
at
the
end
of
the
day,
the
the
thing
which
I
know
that
you're,
believing
that
customer
Mel
I
talked
about,
which
is
a
big
focus
of
our
work,
that
ultimately
it
is
making
transit
more
reliable.
It
is
making
walking
and
biking
more.
M
Of
a
street
you
know
signing
petition,
it
cetera
getting
speed,
set
of
speed,
bumps
or
stop
signs
or
kind
of
what's
the
time
frame
they
should
expect-
and
this
is
it
I
mean
I'm,
just
thinking
of
one
from
this
weekend
where
horrific
cars
flipped
over
knocked
all
down
the
street
from
from
crashes.
Just
you
know
a
little
over
a
year
ago,
and
even
as
I
was
there
probably
almost
got
run
over
probably
ten
times
in
the
course
of
an
hour.
So.
B
So
this
is
the
p-switch
and
we've
had
some
conversations
with
folks
who
are
on
the
council
about
this,
including
yourself.
We
want
to
find
the
right
way
that,
as
a
matter
of
course,
as
we
do
routine
resurfacing,
as
we
rebuild
sidewalks
that
we
are
actually
taking
the
time
to
do
things
like
add
speed,
humps
or
to
bump
out
sidewalks
at
intersections,
to
make
our
streets
kamar
to
make
the
streets
safer
for
pedestrians.
B
M
B
M
And
then,
similarly
I
think
a
similar
topic
of
reactive
versus
proactive.
One
thing
that
I
have
heard
from
everyone
about
resident
parking
on
is
I'm.
Just
the
level
of
you
know
my
team
now
reporting
in
different
streets
that
people
are
bringing
to
my
attention
because
they
want
to
see
enforcement.
We've
tried
to
do
that
now
in
a
more
reactive
basis,
but
we'll
you
know,
as
these
30
positions
are
filled,
will
it
ever
get
closer
to
streets
kind
of
automatically
being
enforced
so.
B
J
That's
exactly
the
whole
point
of
the
exercise
is
is
looking
at
where
our
people
are,
where
they're
deployed,
where
they
should
be
based
on
regulations.
Time
of
day,
so
Tom
took
a
very
holistic
approach
to
how
he
wanted
to
go
ahead
and
restructure.
That
and,
ultimately,
the
challenge
is
just
ensuring
that
we
have
the
resources
which
are
in
this
budget
for
getting
our
people
to
where
they
need
to
be
and
having
the
right
equipment
to
one.
You
know
enforce
what's
out
there
so.
M
Is
your
ultimate
goal
that
I
guess
I'm
curious
about
how
you're
measuring
what
will
be
successful,
I
mean?
Are
you
basing
it
off
of
the
complaints
that
you're
getting
in
now
reactively?
And
you
know
how
do
we
better
cover
those
streets
without
waiting
for
the
complaints
to
come
in
or
is
the
goal
to
cover
every
residential
area
at
some
point
over
a
certain
time
span?
Certainly.
J
N
You
councillor
siamo
Thank,
You
team
and
congratulations,
commissioner
well
deserved
so
look
forward
to
working
with
you
as
well.
I,
don't
even
know
where
to
begin
I
will
tell
you
I
keep
when
I
feel
any
sense
of
frustration.
This
is
not
directed
at
you
guys.
It's
the
system.
I
just
tell
myself
to
breathe,
deeply
breathe,
breathe,
breathe
because,
as
the
District
Council
I
think
other
district
councillors
have
said
this.
We
get
the
calls
all
the
time.
N
I
have
a
20
month
old,
we're
like
look
both
ways:
we're
trying
to
train
him
now
and
it's
really
frustrating
we
even
looked
into
what
would
it
mean
for
us
to
just
frankly
pay
an
engineer
and
some
company
to
put
a
speed
hump
on
our
own
Street,
which
is
we
did
look
into
that
so
I
mean
I.
Think
at
some
point
we
have
the
slow
streets
program
which
is
doing
great
work.
Stephanie
is
killing
it
frankly,
but
she
has
a
limited
budget.
She
has
all
of
these
applications.
She
wants
to
probably
fulfill.
N
She
can
only
do
five
in
the
last
cycle.
I
was
blessed
that
they
were
like
all
in
my
district,
but
why
say
that?
Happily,
because
we
did
tremendous
outreach
and
advocacy
I
know
that
other
districts
are
suffering,
and
so
the
question
is,
with
all
of
the
applications
that
we
received
above
the
five
that
were
selected
and
just
this
last
round.
Why
not
start
there?
You
know
there
are
applications
there
that
it's
data
there
there's
information
there.
We
could
be
really
targeted
with
the
information
we
have
in
those
Hackett's.
N
My
neighborhood
was
one
of
the
packets
urine
this,
the
folks
behind
you
came
out.
They
did
a
walkthrough
or
they
got.
We
got
residents
to
volunteer
and
put
together
an
application
they
weren't
selected
so
now
they're
like
okay,
well,
what
we
gonna.
What
are
we
gonna
do?
I
mean
we're
telling
folks
trust
your
government
government
is
here
for
you
and
then
we're
putting
them
through
this
process
they're
putting
together
these
great
applications,
I
mean
folks
are
door-knocking
a
lot
of
folks.
N
You
know
they
work
two
or
three
jobs,
but
they
care
so
deeply
about
their
community
and
then
nothing
happens,
and
so,
and
even
those
folks
that
are
selected
for
slow
streets
have
to
wait
two
or
three
years
before
something
happens.
So
I
guess
my
question
is-
and
this
has
been
a
question
for
some
time
through
other
previous
budget
cycles-
is
how
do
we
take
those
applications?
Do
something
targeted
with
respect
to
those
neighborhoods
that
we
know
should
have
been
selected,
but
we're
just
at
the
cutoff?
N
B
Needing
something
can
still
they
talk
more
about
this,
but
we
are.
We
are
sort
of
working
our
way
through
that
list
for
exactly
the
reasons
that
you
stated
counselor.
So
we
know
that
there
are
there.
The
data
is
there.
The
need
is
there
need
is
obviously
in
more
places
beyond
that,
but
there's
some
quick
work
which
we
are
looking
to
do
in
places
that
were
not
the
ones
that
were
sort
formally
selected
to
the
neighborhood's,
the
streets
program.
O
Honestly
doing
good
community
process
takes
time
and
what
we
hear
from
all
of
the
neighbors
is
they
want
more
process.
They
want
more
time.
They
want
us
to
do
more
engagement
and
that
level
of
work
takes
time
and
effort
on
our
part.
It's
not
just
we'll
just
design
something
and
throw
it
in
it.
It
needs
to
be
knocking
doors
talking
to
people
making
sure
their
concerns
are
heard
and
that
the
designs
match
what
their
expectations
are
from
the
city.
O
N
And
I
and
I
absolutely
agree
with
you
and
I.
Think
that's
where
our
counselors
are
happy
to
support
that
engagement
work.
Many
of
us
doorknob
tore
one
out
to
door,
knock
and
support
those
efforts
just
to
get
the
applications
in
those
folks
are
ready
and
able
to
continue
to
show
up
and
participate
and
follow
up
meetings
related
to
designs.
Most
of
them,
I
would
like
to
say
a
reasonable,
rational
people.
Not
the
folks
are
like
we
don't
want
this.
We
don't
want
this
they're
just
waiting
for
something
to
happen.
N
So
I
hear
you
so
I,
don't
know
what
are
the
barriers?
Is
that
money?
Is
it
human
capital?
Is
it
more
resources
for
folks
in
your
department
to
do
that,
outreach?
What
are
the
barriers
and
then
how
can
we
from
where
we
sit
on
the
council
side
resource
you,
your
department
or
other
other
pieces
of
BTD
in
order
to
shorten
that
time
frame
for
these
projects
to
happen?
N
I
think
if
we
don't
know
what
those
are
it's
really
difficult,
but
I
will
tell
you
my
residents
are
ready,
able
and
willing
to
participate
to
show
up
in
the
design
process
what
theirs,
what
their
frustration
is
and
that's
what
I'm
carrying
a
little
bit?
It's
because
we
get
the
calls
all
the
time
or
they
stop
you
at
the
grocery
store,
yelling
and
screaming
at
you
is
what
what
can
we
tell
them
right
there,
they're,
really
sort
of
throwing
up
their
hands
to
say
we're
showing
up
to
the
meetings
we
were
selected
for
slow
streets.
N
B
Certainly,
there
has
been,
as
mentioned
before,
we
are
now
finding
a
way
to
have
more
staff
on
vineet
and
Stephanie's
team
and
the
engineering
team.
We
added
two
planners
and
two
engineers
to
be
able
to
focus
more
on
these
sort
of
safety
interventions,
which
will
will
allow
us
to
go
faster.
That
process,
though,
of
of
having
those
community
conversations
itself
itself
takes
time.
So
your
support
in
that
your
continued
support,
and
that
will
make
a
difference
for
us
I
do
think
that
there
are
those
things.
As
you
know,
discussed.
B
We
noted
that
our
that
are
proactive.
There
are
things,
though,
that
we
also
need
to
do
in
places
that
we're
not
necessarily
selected
for
neighborhoods
those
streets
that
we
need
to
find
a
way
that
we're
working
to
find
a
way
to
be
able
to
just
implement
at
a
faster
rate,
and
that
is
general
traffic.
Calming
measures
making
more
things,
so
the
default
way
that
we
might
reconstruct
or
resurface
the
street
that
we'll
address
I
think
some
of
the
community
concerns.
N
N
We
just
have
to
be
frank
and
honest
exactly
what
we
need,
what
departments
need
in
order
for
them
to
do
their
job
so
shorten
the
time
frame.
This
is
not
directed
at
you,
guys,
you're
doing
the
work,
but
if
you
need
more
planners,
if
you
need
more
money,
then
let's
put
it
into
our
budget
and
and
and
get
moving,
because
no
one
likes
to
receive
these
complaints
over
and
over
again
over
the
course
of
years
and
not
have
an
adequate
response.
N
It's
it's
really
unsettling
and
and
the
top
of
our
list
even
higher,
sometimes
in
some
of
our
housing
constituent
cases
on
a
month-to-month
basis,
our
traffic
and
speeding
concerns.
It's
really
unsettling
not
to
have
a
what
see
what
would
be
an
adequate
response
to
our
constituents.
Thank
You
counsel,
counsel,.
P
You
cheering
thank
you
all
for
being
here.
First
I
just
want
to
echo
my
colleagues.
A
number
of
them
have
expressed
support
for
the
funding
of
a
crash
analyst
crash
data
analyst
and
in
March
or
whether
that
would
sit
in
your
department
or
in
BPD's.
We
advocate
for
it
here,
because
you
know
it's
integral
to
the
work
that
you
do
in
your
office
will
advocate
for
it
again,
and
our
Boston
Police
Department
hearing
also
for
the
safe
routes
coordinator,
just
want
to
echo
the
support
for
that
work.
P
I
participated
last
week
and
two
of
the
walk
to
school
days
and
although
that's
sort
of
a
special
one-time
or
one-off
event,
that
work
needs
to
continue
and
I
just
want
to
have
that
noted.
If
we
could
talk
a
little
bit
about
two
of
the
external
funds,
the
bus
and
bike
share
has
an
increase
of
120,000
in
the
budget.
We
just
talked
a
little
bit
about
that
increase
and
how
we're
going
to
apply
that
fund.
Sure.
B
O
Yes,
so
there
are
two
lines
in
the
budget
for
bike
share.
One
is
the
internal
line,
that's
between
the
additional
expansion
into
southern
Dorchester
and
Mattapan
West
Roxbury
and
eastern
Roslindale.
The
external
funds
line
is
essentially
where
we
bank
money
that
comes
from
like
development
mitigation
revenues
from
the
ad
panels.
When
that
starts
coming
in
and
other
sources
this
year
we
are
planning
to
spend.
This
was
planned
last
year
to
spend.
O
P
Q
Q
P
I'll,
go
back
and
just
check
with
my
office
for
clarity
on
that
question
so
and
I
guess
I'm
not
so
clear
and
then
there's
some
conversation
a
little
bit
earlier.
In
our
conversation
today
about
rideshare
designated
drop-off
and
pickup
zones,
we
talked
a
little
bit
about
how
we're
spending
some
of
our
resources
or
energies
on
that
boat
or
financial
in
energy.
Sure.
B
So
the
we
have
one
pilot
zone
that
we
have
launched
we've
launched
about
two
months
ago
in
a
collaboration
between
vanitas
team
for
swim
team
in
the
mayor's
office
of
newer
mechanics,
it's
essentially
to
block
faces
in
the
Fenway
on
Boylston
Street
we've
been
evaluating
the
impact
that
it's
having
is
it
generally
available
pick-up
and
drop-off
zone,
essentially
for
the
evening
and
overnight
hours?
So
it
means
anybody
can
pick
up
or
drop
off
there,
but
if
you
use
the
lyft
or
uber
app,
you're
actually
guided,
therefore
you're
before
the
pickup.
B
All
of
this
is
with
the
intent
of
actually
reducing
all
the
safety
and
congestion
problems
of
having
pickup
drop-off
a
current
travel
lane.
Our
interest
is
to
figure
out
how
do
we
make
it
work
from
this
pilot
and
then
be
able
to
scale
that
pilot
up
to
more
places
across
the
city
we
receive
revenue
from
each
pickup
that
starts
in
the
city
of
Boston.
We
receive
10
cents
from
the
state
for
every
single
pickup
that
occurs
in
the
city
of
Boston,
so
in
2017,
which
was
the
last
sort
of
full
year.
B
B
B
My
hope
is,
by
this
summer
by
the
summer,
we'll
be
able
to
say
here's
here's
what
work,
here's,
what
didn't!
Here's,
how
we
could
make
it
better
and
then
be
able
to
go
from
there.
We
know
there's
a
lot
of
demand
and
there's
frankly,
a
lot
of
need
for
better
curb
management,
particularly
around
pick-up
and
drop-off,
and.
P
I
didn't
hear
my
alarm
yet
someone
asked
quickly
when
we
talk
about
by
client
bike
bike
lanes
across
the
city.
Excuse
me,
there
are
some
I
think
easy
pickings
when
we
think
about
some
of
our
longer
stretches
of
road
that
aren't
fully
developed
or
going
through
some
transition
and
I
know
Becca
mentioned
in
her
public
testimony
the
stretch
of
Mass
Ave
that
leads
from
Harrison
to
Columbia
Road.
That's
I
live
close
to
the
Columbia
Road
end
of
Mass
Ave
that
stretches
well
under
developed
overnight.
P
B
P
Do
we
identify
other
stretches
similar
to
that
across
our
city
that
are
sort
of
easy
to
get
there,
because
I
think
with
expanding
the
bike
lanes?
Residents
across
the
city
will
see
how
it's
a
great
resource
for
us
to
have
in
the
city,
and
it's
easy
where
it's
less
developed
parts
of
the
city
that
it
it
can
work
and
I.
Think
people
will
start
calling
for
more.
O
R
O
O
Are
doing
new
traffic
counts
this
spring
and
we've
also
done
a
parking
occupancy
study
so
that
we,
when
we
talk
with
neighbors
there
is
a.
There
are
a
few
stretches
that
are
pretty
well
parked
about
what
that
looks
like
over
the
day
and
what
kinds
of
trade-offs
we
can
make.
Okay,.
R
Thank
you
Chris.
Yesterday
we
talked
a
little
bit
about
frontage
frontage
road
so
who
who
is
advocating
for
the
the
BTD
when
it
comes
to
what
your
needs
are
gonna,
be
with
whatever
happens
here
and
again.
You
know
where
I
am
I
think
we
need
to
build
a
facility
on
that
site
there.
So,
who
are
you
wearing
both
hats
when
you're
advocating
for
PTD
and
what
they
need
and.
B
There
are
a
lot
of
operations
which
are
a
part
of
that
conversation.
From
the
operational
side,
it
is
the
operational
heart
of
the
city
of
Boston
or
basic
city
services,
and
so
no
matter
what
we
do,
whether
it's
reinvent
reinvest
or
redesign
or
whatever
happens
that
it
is
it's
going
to
have
for
from
our
standpoint,
it's
critical
that
it
works
for
both
BTD
and
Public
Works.
Okay,.
B
Some
of
the
options
that
uto
looked
at
again,
they
were
looking
honestly
for
the
most
desirable
spot.
They
were
just
looking
for
what
is
feasible,
but
some
of
those
things
as
they
looked
at
what
feasible
was
to
simply
reducing
our
footprint
at
frontage
road,
so
reducing
towards.
Essentially
the
southern
half
of
the
frontage
road
parcel
Amanda's,
yeah
I,
think
I've
advocated
for
to
figure
out
a
way
to
intensify
or
to
redesign
what
they
have
both
the
BTD
in
public
workspaces.
R
But
we've
talked
quite
a
bit
and
I
appreciate
the
way
we
want
to
look
at
if
we're
getting
into
new
streets
or
new
sidewalk
reconfigures,
because
at
certain
places
I
was
at
a
meeting
Columbia
Savin
Hill
last
night,
where
the
mail
was
getting
beat
up
and
they're
asking
for
ones
one
raised
crosswalk
in
one
spot.
You
know
I'm
sure
it's
gonna
be
more
than
that
people.
R
Looking
for,
but
just
you
know,
people
are
dying
for
some
sort
of
relief
when
it
comes
to
vehicles
going
through
the
neighborhoods
and
can
we
come
back
to
Glover's
corner
a
little
bit.
I
didn't
quite
hear
you
talking
about
so
the
glove
is
corn,
a
plan
we
have
from.
We
don't
have,
but
the
city's
now
looking
at
just
so
it's
on
your
radar.
The
city
is
looking
from
Glover's
corner,
which
is
above
fields
corner
all
the
way
to
Broadway
station.
We
have
the
highway,
we
have
the
tracks
there,
I
mean.
S
O
R
The
answer
can
be
no,
but
just
I
want
I,
want
people
to
to
understand
that
we
have
opportunities
along
that
entire
stretch,
which
would
basically
not
replace
torturous
Arab.
But
but
you
know
my
opinion
in
my
thought,
and
what
I
would
I
advocate
for
when
I'm
talking
about
clubbers
corner?
Is
that
connection
to
get
a
long
highway
or
a
long
in
train
tracks?
We
have
plenty
of
space
there,
so
just
so,
it's
on.
O
R
O
R
R
Just
to
make
sure
that
it's
on
people's
radar,
that
north-south
connection
and
I'm
going
to
keep
continue
to
talk
about
that
Christian
yesterday
same
sort
of
online.
What
do
what
does
your?
What
does
your
work
force?
Look
like
and
also
you
Greg
you're
familiar
with
the
department,
also
and
congratulations
on
your
new
moon?
Hopefully
it
becomes
permanent.
R
B
So
we
can
certainly
pull
the
average
I.
Don't
know
you
know,
if
not
we
can.
We
can
get
back
to
you
on
sort
of
the
the
tenure
of
BTD
employees.
Obviously,
building
that
pipeline
is
really
important
and
that's
true
in
our
Enforcement
Division
in
our
operations
group
and
our
planning
and
engineering
team
and
we've
had
some
additional
support
office
from
the
council,
particularly
I'm
planning,
an
engineer
and
the
past
few
years,
and
that's
been
very
valuable
for
us.
Okay,.
A
U
Drum
roll
please,
before
the
next
section,
I
guess
my
name
is
Brennan
Kearney
I'm,
the
communications
director
for
Walk
Boston,
walk
Boston
appreciates
the
increased
funding
and
staff
and
attention
division,
zero,
neighborhood,
slow
streets
over
the
last
two
budget
cycles,
but
pedestrian
fatal
injuries
and
crashes.
While
they
have
gone
diam,
they
have
not
gone
down
fast
enough.
Two
to
three
people,
walking
or
biking-
are
still
hit
and
injured
every
single
day
on
the
streets
of
Boston,
the
Byrd
solicitors
popular.
U
Not
yet
in
enough
places,
though,
this
is
ramping
up
thanks
to
new
staff
and
funding
I've
been
to
a
lot
of
the
neighborhood
slow
streets
meetings.
Recently,
it's
great
to
not
just
have
Stephanie
leading
it.
She
now
has
you
know:
John
Monticello,
Hannah,
Fung
assisting
or
it's
really
making
a
difference.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
for
the
increase
on
that
I'm
glad
the
radar
speed
feedback
signs
have
been
mentioned
multiple
times,
I'm,
hoping
that
a
data
collection
process
can
be
implemented.
U
In
addition
to
displaying
speeds,
they
do
record
the
speed
and
the
time
of
day
that
it
happened.
This
data
could
help
understand
the
need
for
further
changes
to
these
streets
and
also
targeted
traffic
enforcement,
so
that
could
kind
of
set
the
stage
for
automated
enforcement
down
the
road
once
it's
approved
at
the
state
level.
U
We
can
do
these
things
now,
though,
in
the
city
I'd
also,
echo
Stacey's
asked
for
an
org
chart
to
try
and
understand
how
policy
is
like
last
summer's
traffic
engineering
signal
policy
update,
got
implemented
since
it
flies
in
the
face
of
the
city's
excellent
Complete
Streets
and
go
Boston
2030
plans
we're
not
America's
walking
City.
If
our
signal
policies
don't
make
it
easy
to
walk
and
one
last
thing:
btv
and
ems
have
produced
high
crash
corridor
maps
to
kind
of
look
at
the
arterioles.
U
Those
show
that
injury
crashes
on
the
top
7%
of
streets
that
comes
out
to
about
60
miles.
What
what's?
Next,
though,
what
are
we
going
to
do
to
improve
these
arterioles
and
these
corridors
where
most
of
our
crashes
are
happening?
We
know
where
the
problems
are.
We
need
to
now
make
changes
to
the
streets
thanks.
Thank
you.
V
My
name
is
Melissa
vining
I'm,
a
resident
of
JP
in
the
Woodbourne
neighborhood
and
I'm
here
to
speak
on
behalf
of
myself
and
my
neighbors
in
that
neighborhood
and
the
surrounding
neighborhoods
of
the
Hyde
Park
corridor,
south
of
Forest
Hills,
we're
very
concerned
about
the
lack
of
reliable
transportation
in
our
area
and
the
lack
of
safety
on
our
streets
for
pedestrians
and
cyclists.
We
feel
that
our
area
has
been
largely
neglected
from
Boston's
2030
and
vision
zero
plans.
V
Firstly,
we've
heard
from
many
residents
along
the
Hyde
Park
corridor
that
it's
extremely
difficult
and
frustrating
for
them
to
get
to
Forest
Hill
Station
via
the
32
bus,
because
vehicular
traffic
is
so
heavy
along
that
stretch
particular
during
Russia
during
rush
hour
that
it
causes
severe
delays
for
the
32
bus
on
a
regular
basis.
To
begin
to
address
our
concerns
regarding
public
transportation
along
the
Hyde
Park
Avenue
corridor,
we
would
like
to
request
that
a
parking
study
be
completed
along
Hyde
Park
Ave
from
Cleary
square
into
Forest
Hills.
V
The
study
could
be
completed
at
no
cost
to
the
city
and
can
inform
us
with
valuable
information
about
how
the
road
space
along
Hyde,
Park
Ave,
is
currently
being
used.
A
similar
strategy
was
recently
used
on
the
South
Washington
Street
from
rezoned
Roslindale
Village
to
Forest
Hills,
which
you've
talked
about
a
lot
today
and
resulted
in
the
shared
bus
and
bike
lane
that
improved
commutes
for
many
people.
V
Secondly,
we're
very
concerned
about
the
walkability
of
our
streets,
south
of
Forest
Hills,
and
the
lack
of
safety
at
our
intersections.
The
pedestrian
signals
were
recently
adjusted
so
that
the
vehicle
and
pedestrian
signals
chained
at
the
same
time.
This
is
extremely
dangerous,
as
cars
do
not
yield
to
pedestrians,
regardless
of
what
kind
of
signage
is
present.
People
trying
to
walked
from
the
Forest
Hills
neighborhoods
to
the
orange
line
are
put
in
danger
every
time
they
try
to
cross
the
street.
V
The
latest
safety
recommendations,
which
are
widely
accepted
in
most
major
cities
across
the
country,
require
us
a
four
to
seven
second-leading.
Walk
interval
for
all
concurrent
traffic
signals
we're
calling
for
immediate
action
on
pedestrian
signal
ization,
not
only
in
Forest
Hills
but
throughout
the
city,
to
ensure
safety
of
pedestrians
on
on
all
of
Boston's
streets.
We're
concerned
that
the
problems
south
of
Forest
Hills
will
be
magnified
in
the
coming
years
due
to
the
large
increase
in
housing
developments
in
the
area.
V
W
My
name
is
Kyle
vining
I'm,
also
a
resident
at
the
Woodbourne
neighborhood
I
come
here
today
to
testify
and
and
Pippin
in
the
middle
of
a
busy
work
day,
because
I
believe
that
the
Boston
streets
are
a
public
health
emergency
I
truly
do
the
leading
major
cause
of
death
of
children
in
the
United.
States
are
cars.
Road
traffic
crashes,
children
living
near
major
roadways
have
been
shown
in
recent
studies
to
suffer
from
increased
developmental
delays
due
to
car
emissions.
W
Boston
has
recently
been
reined
to
one
of
the
most
inequitable
cities
for
commuting
to
work
for
residents
that
don't
have
a
car.
Boston
is
also
one
of
the
most
slowest
commutes
to
work
by
car.
The
cars
are
very
dangerous
just
this
morning
in
Copley
Square
cars
rolled
over
in
the
middle
of
the
square
just
before
a
busy
work
day
yesterday
in
our
neighborhood,
a
police
officer
and
contractor,
were
hit
by
a
truck
near
Forest
Hills
on
Hyde
Park
Ave
at
the
exact
intersection
I've
been
complaining
about
to
this
city
for
three
years.
W
The
time
to
act
is
now
there's
no
more
time
to
wait.
I
live
with
my
wife
and
dog,
and
commute
daily
to
work
in
Boston
in
Longwood,
Brookline
and
Harvard
Square
by
primarily
bike
bus
or
train
I'm,
asking
for
support
of
the
proposed
2019
bust
Boston
bike
budget,
which
is
an
important
step
towards
making
Boston
a
safe,
sustainable
and
livable
city
for
all.
But
I
do
think
that
there
are
significant
inadequacies
in
the
pace
of
improvement
and
the
critical
dangerous
areas
that
the
council
members
are
bringing
up.
W
My
neighbors
and
I
are
very
concerned
along
the
Hyde
Park
Ave
corridor.
The
massive
developments
that
are
underway
there,
the
the
the
city
engineers
say
that
that
area
hat
cannot
be
re-engineered
to
because
they
have
to
prioritize
vehicular
traffic
to
reduce
congestion.
I
believe
this
is
a
failed
policy.
The
pedestrians
and
cyclists
are
put
in
harm's
way.
Every
time
they
set
foot
or
tire
near
Hyde,
Park
Ave,
I
always
hit
on
my
bike
off
of
Hyde
Park
Ave
and
Walk
Hill
Street
by
a
car
in
December
2018.
W
Fortunately,
I
was
not
hit.
I
was
hit
in
the
crosswalk
by
a
parked
car
that
pulled
out
into
me.
The
police
came,
there
was
no
citations
issued,
I
have
continually
reported
to
Mayor
Walsh
that
vehicles
parked
on
Hyde,
Park,
Ave
and
driving
in
Hyde
Park
Ave
are
reckless
and
dangerous
traffic
congestion
has
worse
it
substantially.
Since
I
moved
there
three
years
ago
and
impatient
motorists
run
red
lights,
they
do
not
yield
for
pedestrians
in
crosswalks.
These
issues
are
compounded,
as
my
wife
mentioned,
by
the
highly
regressive
and
dangerous
pedestrian
signalization.
W
W
Also,
as
we
talked
about,
the
32
bus
gets
stuck
on
Hyde
Park
Ave
on
its
route
to
Forest
Hills.
There
is
plenty
of
roadway
space.
There's
seven
lanes
of
traffic
I'm
almost
done
sorry.
So,
basically,
we
asked
for
a
parking
study,
that's
free
to
the
city
by
the
Metropolitan
Planning
Commission,
to
look
at
the
implement
possible
of
implementing
a
bike,
a
bus
lane
there
and
to
change
the
signalization
to
comply
with
the
four
to
seven
safety
delay.
Thank
you
very
much
and
thank
you
all
councillor.
So
much
thank.
X
Q
B
Q
X
Q
This
time
we're
trying
to
keep
those
available
to
the
residents,
especially
evenings
and
weekends.
There
are
plans
to
develop,
as
as
the
chief
was
saying,
electric
vehicle
charging
facilities
in
some
of
those
point
places
we're
also
working
with
the
housing
Innovation
Lab
to
determine
whether
we
could
use
those
Lots
for
both
housing
and
parking
yeah.
X
B
First,
one,
the
person,
the
crosswalks
in
general,
that
is
a
big
focus
that
BTD
is
just
getting
our
crosswalks
back
into
a
state
of
good
repair.
There
is
significant
money
in
this
budget
to
be
able
to
do
that
more
specific
to
to
raise
crosswalks.
That
is
obviously
something
which
both
of
the
neighborhood
slow
streets
program
but,
as
we
talked
about
yesterday,
just
as
a
matter
of
course
to
the
work
that
Public
Works
is
doing,
we
want
to
be
able
to
expand
right.
X
To
that
point,
what
is
the
process
that
we
use
currently
used
to
inspect
crosswalks
signage
signaling
handicap
ramps?
If
that
I
know
oftentimes
I'm
sending
photo
photos
and
text
to
you,
chief
to
things
that
I'm
seeing
is
I'm
traversing
around
the
city
so
other
than
three
one
one
and
then
what's
the
process
by
which
you're
tracking
that
information
to
that
it's.
B
B
We've
been
piloting
it
we
plan
on
rolling,
essentially
are
all
of
our
markings
into
that
same
system,
so
that
we
can
actually
ensure
that
that
asset,
a
bike
lane
and
crosswalk
centerline
whatever
it
might
be,
it's
something
which
we
are
managing,
so
that
has
actually
remains
at
a
high
rate
of
in
a
high
quality
condition.
Our
signs
and
our
signals.
The
signals
is
about
850
part
of
the
signal
team
of
the
Operations.
Group
is
regularly
looking
at.
Those
signs.
B
X
X
J
When
I
was
with
BTD
in
my
previous
stint,
I
sat
on
the
state
task
force
that
is
managed
really
by
the
RMV
and
the
inspector
general's
office,
and
we
still
participate
in
the
meetings
I
believe
their
quarterly.
Now.
So
obviously,
it's
a
problem
that
that
has
been
out
there
for
years
and
it's
was
targeting
at
least
when
I
was
on
the
on
the
panel
really
focusing
on
who
was
writing
all
these
prescriptions
for
people
to
get
placards
and
focusing
on
really
targeting
some
of
those
doctors
that
were
writing.
J
Obviously,
substantial
amounts
of
prescriptions
for
that,
and
so
I've
been
away
from
that
panel
Steve
McGuire
from
the
office
of
the
fire
Clerk
does
sit
in
and
we
still
participate.
So
obviously
we
can
get
you
some
more
information
on
specifics
where
we
are
now,
but
it's
still,
it's
still
active
and
we're
still
focusing
right.
I.
X
X
So
you
won't
have
capable
and
able-bodied
folks
come
in
from
New
Hampshire
and
Rhode
Island
with
their
pickup
trucks
and
all
the
heavy
equipment
and
tools
coming
to
a
downtown
area
to
work
on
a
construction
site
and
sit
there
for
12
14
16
hours
a
day
and
we
kind
of
we
get
ignored
and
they
don't
pay
the
meter,
nor
do
they
get
a
ticket.
But
so
again
it's
not
fair.
X
That's
we're
trying
to
crack
down
on
the
abuse
and
the
abuse
is
driven
by
the
fact
that
the
fees
and
fines
have
increased
as
well
as
cost
of
pocket
in
a
garage
is
a
it's
exorbitant
for
some
folks.
So
everyone
just
scams
it
and
it
plays
itself
out
not
just
in
the
downtown
area.
Monday
through
Friday
bit
plays
itself
out
on
all
of
our
neighborhoods.
X
That's
a
fraud
and
that's
pretty
disgusting,
and
we
continue
to
go
to
meetings
and
we
continue
to
go
to
meetings
and
we
continue
to
talk
about
it
and
we
wait
for
the
stings
and
we
wait
for
the
spotlight
reports
on
the
news
and
and
the
person
gets
shamed
and
then
kind
of
get
swept
under
the
rug.
But
I
think
we
really
need
to
step
up
to
the
plate,
require
everyone
to
pay
the
meter
and,
and
that
eliminates
the
fraud
and
the
abuse.
X
Whoever
wants
to
take
that
one
on
I
know
that
the
Commissioner
of
disabilities
is
supportive
of
that
initiative
and
she
herself
thinks
that
she
should
have
to
pay
the
meter
too.
So
I
think
there's
the
answer
then,
once
that
happens,
I
think
we'll
be
able
to
turn
this
thing
around.
And
then,
when
you
talk
about
people
like
circling
the
block
and
double-parked
waiting
for
spots,
that's
gonna
be
eliminated.
They'll
take
public
transportation;
they
make
our
share.
X
They
most
definitely
won't
be
driving
into
Boston
slapping
the
plaque
out
on
their
windshield
and
ignoring
so
the
parking
laws
and
not
paying
the
meter
so
that
that
can't
happen
soon
enough.
From
my
perspective,
it
also
generates
significant
funds
for
us
to
do
things
like
protected
bike
lanes
and
in
enforcing
in
enhancing
vision.
Zero
to
that
and
just
the
last
question
I
think
there
was
12
million
set
aside
your
perspective,
as
chief
is,
that
is
that
enough?
Could
we
do?
B
Obviously,
there's
tremendous
more
that
we
need
to
do
for
pedestrian
cyclist
safety
in
our
city.
There
is
ten
point,
six
specific
to
sort
of
like
specific
projects
within
this
budget
to
build
on
the
comment
that
I
think
that
Brendan
said
about
the
high
crash
network
in
the
city
of
Boston,
separate
from
that
ten
point:
six
million
dollars
as
we
reconstruct
the
streets
and
its
many
of
the
streets
that
Brendan
reference
places
like
Melanie
on,
casts
work
that
we're
doing
or
planning
to
do,
along
with
a
lab
along
Columbia
Road,
there's
additional
capital
funding.
B
X
B
B
Have
to
tour
that
exactly,
but
on
that,
on
that
stretch,
we
did
not
pull
out
from
that
larger
capital
project.
That
was
around
4.5
million
dollars.
We
did
not
pull
out
from
that.
What
to
cost
the
cycle
track
once
that
is
not
included
in
that
particular
budget,
because
it's
a
in
some
ways
it's
hard
to
pull
out
the
cost
of
that
sort
of
the
value
of
the
cycle
track,
we're
putting
on
the
North
Washington,
Street
Bridge,
or
what
we're
doing
on
Naomi
a
casa.
B
A
Z
You
very
much
and
thank
you
for
your
time.
I
know
that
you've
been
dealing
with
some
of
the
many
of
the
issues
with
the
cycling,
but
I
wanted
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
more
planning
proposals,
specifically
in
the
district
and
when
it
came
to
parking
I'll
just
follow
up
on
some
of
what
councillor
clarity
was
bringing
up
I.
Z
You
know
we
proposed
the
parking
reform
and
looking
at
different
areas
and
again
I've
said
that
privately
but
I
want
to
say
publicly.
It
is
not
to
say
that
you
are
not
doing
a
good
job.
It
is
just
really
to
bring
community
and
to
help
us
really
define
map
out
and
look
at
ways
in
which
we
can.
We
do
need
parking
reform
in
the
city
of
Boston,
so
I'm
curious.
Z
Then,
if
we
can
get
your
commitment,
if
we
can
work
with
you
in
East
Boston,
we
have
a
parking
task
force
to
actually
start
to
map
out
and
look
at
areas
where
meters
could
go
in
where
we
could
look
at
angled
parking,
where
we'd
look
at
also
visitor
parking,
potentially
in
some
some
parts
and
I'm
just
curious
about
your.
We
can
get
your
commitment
to
work
with
some
at
the
neighborhood
level
to
help
us
enhance
those
those
initiatives.
That's.
B
Z
So
moving
over
to
Charlestown,
where
I
think
we
have
some
of
our
biggest
woes
or
our
biggest
concerns,
now
that
the
casino
is
set
to
open,
I,
think
in
June
23rd,
and
so
our
I
mean
honestly,
your
assessment.
Are
we
ready
for
that
amount
of
traffic?
We're
really
concerned
that,
honestly,
the
lights
are
not
coordinated
and
Sullivan's
square
that,
while
we're
trying
to
make
it
more
walkable,
because
it's
the
one
T
station
I,
think
you
take
your
life
into
your
hands.
Z
B
There's
obviously
been
work
specifically
by
encore
to
improve
Sullivan
square.
We
just
completed
the
reconstruction,
as
you
know,
of
the
bridge
deck
on
the
Opera
Street
bridge.
Those
steps
that
encores
taking
today
around
Sullivan
Square
will
help,
but,
as
you
know,
there's
a
reason
why
we
are
reconstructing
the
North
Washington
Street
Bridge,
there's
a
reason
why
we've
been
having
lots
of
conversations
around
the
Rutherford
Ave
corridor
that
to
actually
make
the
rough
corridor
work?
Well,
the
North
Washington
Street
bridge
corridor
work
well
will
require
those
subsequent
capital
projects.
B
That's
about
over
three
hundred
million
dollars
which
has
been
identified
and
allocated
towards
those
projects
and
those
are
what's
coming
in
the
in
the
years
ahead.
I
would
say
for
these
specific
sort
of
opening
of
the
casino
there's
a
lot
of
coordination
between
the
state
BTD
and
the
casino
to
figure
out
how
to
manage
that
as
well
as
possible.
Okay,.
Z
And
so
I
guess
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
ready,
because
you
know
we're
gonna-
always
have
improvements.
We're
always
gonna
have
to
be
dealing
with
investment,
but
it's
not
like
it's
gonna
close
again
once
that
casino
is
open,
it's
it's
only
gonna
grow
in
traffic
and
volume,
and
so
you
know
I'm
not
gonna
lie.
A
lot
of
people
are
very
apprehensive
about
them.
I
know
the
4
a.m.
liquor.
License
is
also
a
concern.
Z
Many
people
have
as
well
that's
not
in
your
purview
but
just
want
to
let
you
know
and
I
think
I
think
more
communication
again
coming
to
the
neighborhood
associations.
Talking
about
how
we're
planning
for
that
amount
of
volume,
you
have
done
a
great
job.
Your
team
has
done
a
great
job
and
coming
out
and
talking
about
it,
but
I
think
increased
presence,
as
that
we
get
closer
and
closer
to
the
opening
wall
will
help
people
to
feel
like
there's
a
sense
of
control
swinging
into
the
north
end.
Z
I
wanted
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
some.
Some
of
the
folks
have
come
up
and
approached
about
parking
issues,
but
also
planning
for
and
looking
at
areas.
Pick-Up
and
drop-off
areas
for
TNCs,
and
especially
such
a
you
know
it's
such
a
dense
neighborhood
with
so
many
restaurants
you're.
Finding
the
triple
quadruple
parking
while
uppers
and
lifts
are
waiting
for
patrons
to
come
in
at
our
restaurants.
Z
So
we're
wondering
if
there
might
be
a
planner
if
the
neighborhood
could
approach
you
with
some
old
older
taxi
stands
that
aren't
being
used
as
much
on
high-traffic
areas
such
as
Hanover,
Street,
Salem,
Street,
we're
at
either
the
extremes
or
some
point.
The
city
could
plan
for
where
the
TNCs
can
pick
up
and
drop
off
at
the
neighborhood
level.
I
know,
massport
is
looking
at
it
in
terms
of
airport,
but
I
think.
B
We'd
have
a
lot
of
interest
in
that
again,
so
the
the
first
step
for
us
is
the
evaluation,
which
should
be
wrapped
up
shortly
of
the
pilot
we're
doing
the
Fenway
to
just
make
sure
that
we
know
how
to
do
this
right
or
do
to
do
this
well,
and
then
we
could
figure
out
where
to
expand
it.
Clearly,
the
North
End
would
be
a
good
candidate
for
that
it'd
be
great
to
get
your
feedback
and
any
other
councillors
feedback
about
locations
that
you
would
have
an
interest
in
it
and.
Z
I
know
that
the
topic
of
visitor
parking
or
aid
I
think
it's
assistant,
assistants,
I've,
come
up
and
I'm
just
wondering
where
the
city
is
on.
Looking
at
those
kinds
of
parking
permits
or
parking
passes,
so.
J
In
the
past,
we've
worked
with
home
health,
aides,
visiting
nurses
and
other
program
and
home
care
providers
on
placards
for
use
within
the
neighborhood
when
they're
visiting
their
clients.
Obviously
it's
something
that
we
are
open
to
doing
with
other
organizations.
We
need
to
make
sure
we
have
a
balance
and
ensure
that
they're
able
to
we
effectively
manage
it,
so
we're
they're
able
to
have
access
to
provide
the
care
they
need
to
provide.
But
we
also
aren't
burdening
the
the
residents
in
the
community
as.
U
Z
Z
A
little
bit
of
money
she
could
make
from
uber
and
left
is
cancelled
because
we
got
a
boot
on
her
car
and
so
her
car
is
now
gone,
and
so
we're
trying
to
work
to
figure
out
when
you
when
people
come
in
the
state
assigns
them
into
Boston.
Many
of
them
sometimes
came
in
afford
to
get
the
Boston
registry,
but
it's
it's
a
lot,
but
I
wanted
to.
Z
AA
First
I
just
want
to
thank
you,
chief
Osgood,
in
your
entire
team,
for
being
a
good
partner
in
this
work.
I
want
to
thank
you,
especially
for
the
crosswalk
at
Rockland
and
walnut
for
the
seniors.
As
I
mentioned,
you
know
getting
that
crosswalk
was
important
for
the
seniors
in
the
area,
but
there's
still
a
visibility
issue.
So
I'd
love
to
talk
to
you
about
phase
two
of
that
project
in
terms
of
maybe
doing
bump
outs
and
the
sidewalks
so
that
we
increase
visibility
there
for
the
seniors
in
terms
of
other
projects.
AA
In
my
district,
can
you
just
give
updates
I'd
be
interested
in
hearing
where
we
are
in
terms
of
the
investments
in
Dudley
Square,
where
we
are
in
terms
of
Tremont
Street
with
vision,
zero,
making
sure
that
things
are
moving
in
a
timely
way?
Can
you
just
give
a
brief
update
on
some
of
those
projects?
Sure.
B
So
six
specific
related
to
W,
Square
and
Stephanie
can
probably
of
a
better
update,
can
give
a
better
okay
than
I
can
on
Tremont
Street,
so
in
unit
around
Dudley
square,
obviously
Madison
Park
reconstruction
just
wrapped
up.
We
have
the
sidewalk
and
road
work
on
Lenox
and
Reed
Street,
which
is
underway
right
now.
The
first
phase
of
Dudley
square.
Essentially,
the
sort
of
the
sort
of
southern
extent
of
the
project
will
break
ground
this
year
and
then
phase
two,
which
is
actually
the
Warren
in
Washington.
Street
sections
will
will
come
next,
will
follow.
B
AA
And
I
think
he
were
part
of
the
conversation
out
in
the
district
working
with
business
owners
and
landlords,
and
there
was
a
concern
that
the
project
didn't
extend
far
enough.
That
Mel
Nia
was
being
that
it
needed
to
be
extended
to
Mel
Nia,
because
that
was
an
important
gateway
for
Dudley
square.
In
terms
of
being
a
commercial
district.
Has
that
change
happened
in
terms
of
really
building
in
that
feedback
from
folks
to
extend
beyond
I
think
the
current
plan,
which
didn't
go
as
far
yep.
B
AA
G
We
would
like
to
start
the
process
this.
This
fall.
We
have
some
funding
to
to
enable
the
community
process,
but
we'd
like
to
look
at
Louisville
Avenue
kind
of
holistically.
There
may
be
some
short
term
things
that
we
can
do
that
right
to
safety,
for
example
that
can
be
implemented.
You
know
in
this
fiscal
year
of
going
into
2020
relative
to
the
bus
lane.
We
really
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
support
and
understanding
with
the
community
along
that
entire
corridor.
So
it's
definitely
a
big
focus
for
us
going
power.
G
We
are
hiring
a
full-time
person
who
would
look
at
global
Avenue,
along
with
Columbia
Road
as
that
person's
primary
responsibility
to
really
make
sure
that
there's
somebody
who
gets
up
in
the
morning
every
day
and
that's
all
that
the
thing
about
it
and
we
want
to
make
sure,
particularly
that
there
is
good
grassroots
outreach
mm-hmm.
So
what's.
G
AA
You
send
me
the
blur
I'd
love
to
kind
of
share
that
out.
I.
Think
that's
a
very
important
position
in
terms
of
your
spend.
Can
we
go
over
the
numbers
in
terms
of
discretionary
spend
how
much
of
your
budget
is
spent
with
businesses
owned
by
people
of
color
businesses
owned
by
women
and
local
residents?.
Q
S
S
S
S
S
A
A
H
Thank
you
very
much
mr.
chair,
thanks
for
hanging
in
there,
everybody
just
I'll
be
very
quick
bike
lanes
regarding
with
the
MBTA
we
talked
about
it
a
while
ago.
There
are
sections
of
the
MBTA
where
the
commuter
rail
they
have
large
stretches
where
they
we
could
work
with
them
to
maybe
put
some
bike
trails
in
there.
Even
if
it's
just
you
know
a
couple
miles
out
of
whack,
have
we
considered
that
conversation.
B
Matt
Lawler
there's
been
some
very
good
coordination
and
advocacy
Roslindale
as
you're
well
aware,
looking
at
what
would
be
essentially
an
extension
south
of
the
Southwest
corridor
along
the
Arboretum
gateway
path,
there's
some
funding
and
some
work
that
BBB
is
leading
and
through
the
committee
Preservation
Act
there's
also
some
additional
investment
in
that
effort.
That
is
not
yet
funded
correctly,
I'm
wrong
to
get
all
the
way
to
to
the
MBTA
station,
but
it
will
help
us
take
it.
Take
the
black
belt
path
a
little
bit
further
south
from
Forest
Hills.
H
B
B
It
this
morning,
okay,
so
that
is
something
which
obviously,
we
are
rolling
another
one
in
by
near
the
MBTA
station
in
Roslindale
and
with
our
new
public
realm
guidelines
and
through
Vinny's
leadership
and
ABC
support
and
Jacob
Wessels
good
work
where
we
are
now
supporting
more
folks.
We
all
do
that
across
the
city.
Okay,.
H
And
then,
lastly,
is
just
to
continue
to
work
with
the
Boston
Police
Department.
This
isn't
the
police
hearing
we'll
have
them
I
think
next
week,
but
I,
you
know
the
tango
car,
the
traffic
car.
We
have
to
work
closely.
I
know
we
are,
but
we
have
to
continue
and
beef
that
up
in
fact,
I'll
be
asking
for
more.
H
You
know
additional
funds
to
have
more
tango
cars
in
each
district,
simply
because
one
one
one
tango
car
in
all
of
High
Park,
it's
just
not
sufficient,
and
especially
the
way
the
district
is
cut
out
all
those
streets
that
I
mentioned
earlier,
Glendale
Cornell
Beach
those
are
in
EI
teen,
and
that
that
stretch
is
just
it's
just
too
large.
So
and
working
with
you
knowing
the
crash
data,
if
it
just
it
seems
to
be
a
perfect,
perfect
bridge
that
we
should
be
able
to
have
yeah,
that's
it.
K
You,
mr.
chairman,
good,
thank
you
all
and
thank
you
most
importantly,
those
who
remain
in
the
audience.
Can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
street
cleaning?
That's
under
you,
that's
not
DPW!
So
the
change,
the
pilot.
It
was
both
but
you're
the
right
person
to
answer
this
I
think
there
was
a
piloted
program
in
Charlestown
a
couple
years
ago
that's
been
expanded
citywide.
Now
it's.
B
We
are
we're
happy
to
get
some
feedback
from
from
you
also
from
inators
about
where
that
makes
operational
sense.
We
know
the
intent
of
that
I.
Think
we
hear
from
residents
is
to
get
to
the
curb.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
able
to
to
do
exactly
yeah,
but
if
you
have
suggestions
for
locations,
let
me
know
yeah.
K
I
mean
I,
think
Jamaica
Plain
would
be
an
ideal
and
I
think
it
would
be
a
tremendous
support
for
it
there
and
then.
The
other
part
that
I'd
like
to
see
is
maybe,
as
part
of
this
really
sort
of
a
almost
like
a
Bill
of
Rights
or
uniformed
rules
and
regulations
for
our
tow
company.
Some
refused
to
take
debit
cards,
which
I
believe
is
illegal
in.
B
Yeah,
so
we've
been
having
some
conversations
about
what
the
better
way
is
to
make
sure
that
we
have
consistent,
telling
practices
across
all
parties.
As
you
know,
for
a
lot
of
street-sweeping.
That
towing
is
done
largely
for
Geographic
reasons
and
capacity
reasons
in
frontage
road
by
private,
tow
companies,
and
we
want
to
have
the
right
way
to
ensure
that
we've
got
high
quality
standards
across
all
those
companies
about
the
way
in
which
Rock
constituents
were
treated
good.
K
Thank
you
briefly,
be
together.
I'm
gonna
get
to
my
district
specific
requests,
but
talk
very
briefly
about
sort
of
evey
state
charging
stations
in
municipal
law.
What's
the
timeline,
how
is
that
gonna
work?
What
cars
be
able
to
remain?
Well,
you
wouldn't
have
to
be
over
light
if
it's
a
supercharger
but
will
they'll
be
able
to
expand,
say
two
hours,
I,
don't
know
if
Coleman.
Q
Several
of
our
lots
we
have
32
minutes
below
throughout
the
city
and
ever
sauce
is
now
evaluating
those
slots
to
see
if
they're
the
right
fit
for
the
Evie
charging
stations.
We
have
lots
all
the
way
from
East
Boston
to
Mattapan
and
from
South
Boston
to
Hyde
Park.
So,
basically,
we
have
the
city
covered
and
they
should
have
that
evaluation
done
within
the
next
four
to
six
weeks.
K
B
K
K
B
You
can
send
me
that
list
that'd
be
great
one.
One
note
I
just
point
out
in
this
budget
is
funding
for
many
of
those
Southwest
corridor
crossings,
great
specifically
in
the
Stephanie's
work
plans,
so
we've
got
funding
specifically
to
ensure
that
all
the
bike
commuters
along
the
Southwest
corridor
at
those
many
of
the
crossings
that
you
mentioned
have
a
second
experience.
Terrific.
K
Thank
you
and
I
would
just
say
in
closing:
I
really
appreciate
each
and
every
one
of
you
I
know
how
committed
you
are
to
this
there's.
Obviously
tremendous
interest.
This
is
probably
our
most
well
attended
budget
hearing
and
with
the
public
as
well.
You
do
exceptionally
important
work
and
I
know
you'd
do
a
well
I
know.
You
tried
in
chief,
you
set
a
great
example
from
your
leadership
and
everybody
on
your
team
and
those
that
so
thank
you.
Good.
A
Z
Sorry
I
have
to
run
out,
but
I
wanted
to
make
sure
I
gave
a
shout
out
to
some
folks
who,
in
your
departments,
who
has
been
extremely
helpful,
so
I
wanted
to
thank
Bryan,
McKinley,
Polly,
Karla,
tinkle,
al
Villar,
John,
Benedictus
and
Chrissy
pagli
oka
for
all
of
their
incredible
responsiveness,
working
with
us,
making
sure
that
we
knew
what
was
going
on,
and
so
it's
important
to
recognize
and
say
names.
So
I
wanted
to
do
that
before
I
left,
Thank.
M
Just
wanted
to
follow
up
with
a
couple
information
requests
and
then
I
have
more
questions.
So
thank
you,
Neil
Thank,
You
Neil
for
giving
me
the
kind
of
general
view
of
the
parking
meter
fund
funds
in
and
funds
out
year
after
year,
I
was
hoping
to
get
the
specific
projects
associated
with
funds
out
as
well.
So
we
wanted
to
sorry
were
so
close
together.
Thank
you
and
then
just
following
up
on
something
that
Stacey
had
said
so
have
the
20
positions
that
were
budgeted
in
the
last
fiscal
year
Ben
are
they
all
filled
now
so.
B
M
Are
we
possible
to
get
the
org
chart
absolutely
okay,
thank
you
and
then
just
in
terms
of
go
Boston
2030
the
vision,
zero
action
plan,
all
these
great
plans
that
have
been
put
together.
What
is
the
best
mechanism
I
mean
is:
are
you
planning
on
doing
a
sort
of
summary?
Look.
You
know
now
that
we're
a
number
of
years
out
on
what
the
process
status
is
a
progress
on
which
project
started.
It
cetera
it's.
B
A
great
question,
if
you
need
we'll
certainly
add
to
this,
and
that
is
something
which
we
are
very
interested
in
doing
obviously
the
need
and
a
lot
of
credit
to
Charlotte
and
and
the
rest
of
it
needs
team
on
this
have
put
together
a
regular
report
on
at
Osan
vision,
zero.
So
our
last
one
was
the
2017-2018
report.
Louisville
streets
is
also
and
the
visions
our
coalition
is
also
put
out
a
companion
report
as
well.
There
is
some
content
about
progress
on
go
Boston
2030.
B
G
Say
sometime
in
the
fall?
Okay,
just
one
piece
on
that:
it's
well,
it's
also,
but
it's
about
giving
updates
on
specific
projects
and
policies.
It's
also
about
giving
updates
on
the
outcomes.
Are
we
in
fact
improving
safety?
Are
we
in
fact
increase
reliability,
so
the
perfect?
What
those
dimensions
to
it?
Okay,.
M
E
B
B
North
Washington,
Street
I,
believe,
is
also
on
that
map
and
result
was
on
the
larger
CTS
list,
and
so
there's
two
sections
of
that.
One
is
the
dedicating
about
bus
lane
as
part
of
the
bridge
reconstruction
project
that
bridge
reconstruction
project
has
broken
ground,
but
it's
gonna
be
a
number
of
years
before
that
project
is
done.
The
second
piece
of
that
is
a
piece
that's
coming.
This
fall,
which
is
the
dedicating
about
bus
lane
from
Keaney,
Square,
essentially
causeway
street,
to
Haymarket
North.
B
M
M
B
G
M
G
M
B
So
I'm,
mindful
that
I
Chris
Carter
Ezra,
is
still
in
the
room.
Who's
been
leading
a
lot
of
this
work.
A
couple
of
years
ago,
the
mayor
signed
an
executive
order,
letting
us
for
the
broad
policy
framework
for
the
testing
of
autonomous
vehicles
in
the
city
of
Boston,
really
with
a
focus
on
them
being
electric
and
shared
as
part
of
fleets.
We
have
basically
two
companies
that
are
actively
testing
in
the
city
of
Boston
optimist,
ride
and
Newton.
B
They
all
are
served
working
on.
We're
gets
to
call
it
graduate
a
testing
plan
where
they
have
to
prove
themselves
in
Aitkin,
first
off-street
than
in
a
very
specific
designated
area
in
the
South
Boston
waterfront
under
daylight
conditions
in
good
weather.
For
a
certain
number
of
miles
report,
they
can
graduate
to
a
broader
geography,
different
weather
conditions,
different
times
of
day
they're
required
to
submit
regular
reports
to
us
about
what
they're
discovering
and
their
research
agenda
overall
I
would
say
for
us.
You
know
we
are.
B
One
of
the
reasons
we
are
interested
in
autonomous
vehicles
is
obviously
around
Road
Safety,
which
is
a
huge
portion
of
the
promise
of
this.
Of
what
autonomous
vehicles
could
bring
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
that,
if
it,
if
it
does
crew
those
benefits
that
those
benefits
can
actually
prove
here
in
Boston,
these
vehicles
can
actually
work
on
Boston
streets.
B
We
do
not
forget
the
fundamental
importance
of
pedestrians
in
our
city
or
cycling
in
our
city,
and
what
we've
seen
from
every
study
is
that
if
you
actually
want
to
address
congestion
on
a
macro
scale,
it's
not
going
to
be
AV.
This
could
be
things
like
great
transit,
and
so
that
is
a
huge
portion
of
what
we're
actually
focused
on
here.
My.
B
I
think
we
do
want
to
be.
We
want
to
set
some
broad
policy
framework
during
this
testing
phase
before
their
broadly
commercialized
I.
Think
that's
gonna
be
important,
and
that's
certainly
something
that
we
are
sort
of
in
active
conversations
about
what
that
policy
does.
Look
like.
Okay,
guys.
Thank
you.
N
You
councillor
co-moh
just
want
to
quickly
go
on
the
record
with
respect
to
some
things
that
was
previous
previously
said
about
my
from
my
colleagues.
One
absolutely
support
the
safe
routes
to
schools.
Coordinator
echo,
councillor
O'malley's
comments
with
respect
to
automate
automatic
enforcement,
really
support
the
concept
of
browns
burgers
bill,
but
this
idea
of
piloting
it
and,
at
the
same
time,
doing
some
more
community
process.
We
talked
offline
around
residents,
not
really
understanding
this.
Knowing
this
or
the
power
this
could
have
in
terms
of
enforcement.
N
Had
a
follow-up
conversation
would
be
PD
after
our
enforcement
hearing
and
we'll
bring
this
up
in
there's.
But
one
thing
that
I
think
every
councillor
agreed
on
is
the
importance
of
funding
a
traffic
analyst
position
within
BPD
so
that
they
could
look
at
the
data
and
have
more
targeted
enforcement
working
in
partnership
with
the
Transportation
Department,
so
we'll
be
pushing
in
this
budget
cycle
for
that,
but
wanted
to
bring
it
up
here,
even
though
it'll
be
a
conversation
for
BPG
I
also
just
wanted
to
quickly
request
similar
to
requests
made
yesterday
in
public
works
contracts.
N
G
N
What
the
little
girl
did
so,
if
that's
an
option
or
something
we
can
use
as
a
tool,
obviously
less
invasive
than
some
of
the
structural
changes
that
Stephanie's
team
and
others
have
to
lead.
I
just
have
some
questions
that
our
district,
specific
Oh
back
to
enforcement.
One
thing
that
came
up
in
a
meeting
is
on
the
ticket
itself.
Counselors
aiken
brought
this
up.
120
dollars
is
the
fine,
but
I
think
police
officers
are
those
who
do.
Enforcement
were
complaining
that
the
ticket
itself
didn't
have
an
actual
box
for
that.
N
So
if
they
were
wanting
to
give
in
a
violation
for
someone
who
was
part
say
or
stopped
in
a
bike
lane,
there
was
nothing
formally
on
the
ticket
itself
for
them
to
check
off.
So
that
came
up
with
respect
to
some
folks
in
my
district
that
talked
to
some
officers
who
said
it's
not
even
option
on
our
our
tickets
so
wanted
to
bring
that
here,
so
that
clearly
we
can
actually
do
enforcement
I'll
also
bring
it
up
in
BPD
as
well.
N
Thank
you
specifically
with
respect
to
projects
in
my
district
in
my
first
year
in
first
term
on
the
council
pushed
for
a
transportation
study
for
Bolden
and
Geneva.
Originally
it
was
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
now
it's
fifty
thousand,
but
nothing
has
ever
happened
with
that.
Where
are
we?
Is
there
any
timeline
on
when
this
study
could
actually
happen
in
the
bone
in
Geneva
area?
That
main
intersection,
which
has
always
been
a
concern.
G
N
Just
want
to
echo
some
concerns
from
folks
in
the
community,
because
when
we
got
that
it
was
originally,
a
hundred
thousand
people
were
excited
about
the
possibility
thousand
I
talked
it.
100
now
is
50
and
no
timeline,
so
just
want
to
say
this
is
really
important.
So
we'll
follow
up
again
offline,
quick
question
around
towing
and
ticketing
on
street
cleaning
residential
streets
that
have
street
cleaning.
N
B
In
addition
to
that,
the
intent
is
always
to
both
ticket
Anto.
The
parking
enforcement
efforts
tend
to
be
faster,
though
than
the
tow
truck
drivers
so
there's
times
when
we
will
actually
ticket
somebody
and
they
should
have
been
towed,
but
they
they
do
not
get
to
us
of
it
because
there
isn't.
The
tow
driver
doesn't
necessarily
it
back
in
time.
Well,.
N
I
just
bring
it
up
because
there's
some
folks
on
even
some
streets
where
they
see
it
and
consistently
enforce
and
they're
like
well,
I
was
told
one
day
and
then
I
wasn't
no
I,
don't
think
anyone
wants
to
be
towed
but
I
just
it
comes
up
as
a
concern
in
our
office,
so
wanted
to
bring
it
to
you
guys,
because
it's
not
always
consistent
moving
right
along
quick
question
with
respect
to
the
redesign
of
Matapan
square
bike
lanes.
What
will
the
community
process
be
for
this?
What
does
that
look
like.
G
N
So
I'm
glad
we're
clearing
this
up
so
technically,
that
part
is
obviously
I
cover
a
large
part
of
Mattapan.
That
part
is
tech
McCarthy.
So
we
got
some
questions,
but
when
we
met
my
concern
and
conversation
was
really
about
what
counts
are
Janie
brought
up
the
corridor
as
a
whole.
Looking
at
what
Public
Works
is
doing
and
some
exciting
ideas
they
have
for
blue
the
laughs
making.
Sure,
of
course,
it's
coordinated
with
any
plans
at
BTD
has,
of
course,
looking
at
a
dedicated
bus
lane,
but
also
the
conversation
around
Rapid
Transit,
you
name
it.
N
Everything
needs
to
be
on
the
table
for
blue
the
lab.
It
can't
sort
of
right,
and
so
I
want
to
continue
that
I
think
there
are
a
lot
of
players
and
stakeholders
we
need
to
bring
in
at
the
outset,
including
folks,
looking
at
not
just
tee
solutions
but
non
solutions
to
get
residents
in
my
district
and
council
mccarthy's
to
jobs
in
the
Seaport
or
other
areas.
So
we'll
continue
that,
but
there
was
some
questions
specifically
around
the
time
line
from
BT
DS
perspective
on
that
Matapan
Square
redesign.
G
So,
as
I
mentioned
for
the
formatter
Penn
Square
itself,
we
are
we're
ready
to
start
as
soon
as
you'd
like
us
to.
We
have
some
ideas
that
we'd
like
to
share
with
the
community
that
look
at
both
providing
better
access
for
for
the
buses
that
currently
go
over
the
river
and
come
back
to
get
to
the
station,
and
it
adds
a
lot
of
travel
time
as
well
as
providing
some
links
for
bicycles.
But,
more
importantly,
we
are
focused
on
improving
pedestrian
safety
in
Marathon
Square.
N
P
You
and
we've
had
a
few
rounds
and
I
stepped
out,
I
think
twice,
so
this
question
may
have
been
asked.
If
it
has
just
tell
me,
you
know
working
the
tape,
something
that
I
don't
think
we've
talked
about
has
been
the
recipient
and
that's
the
right
word
of
our
traffic
lights,
especially
around
our
major
arteries
across
the
city.
What
that
question
asks
know
great,
and
so
can
you
tell
me
about
that
and
and
what
we're
doing
and
do
we
do
it?
How
often
do
we
do
it
all
that?
Thank
you
so.
P
B
B
P
B
I
don't
know,
and
we
can
get
you
what
what
other
municipalities
may
do.
This
is
something
which
we
have
wanted
to
figure
out
the
right
way
to
be
able
to
increase
our
first
step,
whether
that
was
figure
out.
What
are
the
new
standards?
We'd
want
to
have
in
place
both
to
tread
the
traffic
signal
sort
of
policies
we
will
use
as
we
are
retiring
all
of
our
traffic
signals.
That's
a
bit
of
work
which
we're
taking
on
right
now
and
then
we'll.
B
One
thing
in
stepping
it's
really
touched
on
this
better
than
I
can
do
as
part
of
general
capital
projects
we
do
and
part
of
the
work
that
Stephanie's
doing.
We
are
also
doing
exactly
what
you're
saying
during
those
more
sort
of
focused
retiming
efforts,
whether
it's
social
with
neighborhoods
those
streets,
division,
0
quarters
were
working
on
or
some
of
the
reconstruction
work.
The
cars
they're.
G
AB
B
Two
things
on
that:
we
are
only
looking
how
to
introduce
more
raised
intersections
two
that
are
currently
the
design
phase
are
both
on
Melanie,
a
Cass
Melanie
at
Washington
and
we've
only
at
Albany,
OR
Harrison.
One
of
the
two
our
place
is
where
we
will.
We
are
advancing
a
design
that
has
a
raised
intersection
on
don't
block
the
box.
One
of
the
parts
of
the
mayor's
legislative
agenda
is,
would
be
a
use.
B
B
Q
R
Q
R
One
so
do
we
do
we
tow
and
again
to
whoever
whoever
answers
them.
You
know
we're
next
to
each
other.
So
it's
like
a
conversation.
Do
we
go
if
a
city
if
a
city
vehicle
is
broken
down?
Do
we
automatically
get
that,
like
those
do
your
tow
truck,
Greg
I?
Guess
your
tow
truck
drivers
get
that
call
all
the
time
if
it's
a
public
works
vehicle
or
if
it's
a
like
or
shared
vehicle?
Do
we
get
that?
Yes,.
R
S
J
R
R
R
Can
we
so
Chris?
Yesterday
we
talked
about
the
record
that
the
Public
Works
Department
has
so
they
do
any
larger
base
that
that
tow
truck
is
going
on.
Okay,
can
we
talk
a
little
bit
about
a
little
more
on
autonomous
vehicles?
We
had
I
had
an
order
for
a
hearing
and
we
couldn't
get
together
on
it.
Maybe
it's
time
for
for
a
hearing
now,
just
for
for
one
sort
of
comment
before
you
get
into
your
comments.
R
All
they
were
income,
basically
in
their
industry,
uber
and
lyft.
One
of
the
things
that's
good
about
them
is
they're
providing
jobs,
but
I
think
the
future
of
that
industry
is
all
autonomous
vehicles.
So
the
people
that
are
working
over
and
lyft
now
are
gonna,
be
in
the
taxi
position
in
however
many
years.
So
can
we
keep
an
eye
on
them?
When
we
talk
about
them
a
little
bit
more?
B
B
They
that's,
they
start
actually
in
the
essentially
the
marina
industrial
park
and
then
the
geographic
area
sort
of
expands
from
there
to
the
South,
Boston
waterfront
and
then
to
a
broader
section
of
the
city.
After
they
have
successfully
Schlemmer,
they
can
work
in
a
variety
of
different
conditions
and
they
are
regularly
important
to
us
in
actually
regulating
having
conference
calls
with
the
team
about
exactly
this.
B
The
workforce
applications
are
one
of
the
things
which
we
are
very
mindful
of
this
I
believe
in
and
Kristin
correct
if
I'm
wrong,
but
in
probably
40
states
in
the
United
States
38
states,
the
United
States,
the
the
single
largest
category
of
profession,
is
driver,
so
there
are
some
definite
workforce
implications
and
the
common
with
masters
is
the
happens
to
be
teacher,
but
I'm
sure
the
driver
is
fairly
high
on
that
list.
So
we
want
to
this
policy.
Conversation
is
one
that
is
very
important
for
us
again.
R
But
but
you
really,
mr.
Cheuk
and
I
have
two
more
minutes
here.
Only
a
comment
sounded
like
that:
we're
not
just
jumping
in
on
the
Etana
see
it
goes
because
they're
not
doing
it
gonna
do
anything
for
our
traffic
or
congestion.
Those
sort
of
things
in
in
one
last
question.
Mr.
chair,
do
we
have
any
any
updates
on
the
taxi
industry?
Have
we
have?
We
looked
at
maybe
some
some
of
the
changes.
What
is
the
laurs
at
4:01.
B
B
I
know
that,
as
we've
had
a
number
of
conversations
on
this
there's
some
some
ongoing
dialogue
between
members
of
the
taxi
industry,
the
Hackett
carriage
unit,
I
gr
and
the
bgd
team
about
how
better
to
sort
of
have
our
policies
work
for
them.
Cap
stands
potentially
some
collaboration
around
sort
of
communication
and
messaging,
and
then
to
your
point,
adjustments
on
the
rules
there's
been
some
change
at
the
hackney
carriage
units.
So
we're
doing
some
work
now
to
work
with
them
on
adjustments.
There
is
that.
B
X
Flowers,
that
chief
and
Commissioner
and
team
apologize
in
and
out
that's
crazy,
hectic
Zoning
Board
of
Appeals
some
contentious
issues
up
there,
as
well
as
counsel
Flynn,
had
some
school
children
and
from
from
our
neighborhood.
So
just
back
around
to
want
to
pick
up
work.
Council
Baker
had
mentioned
if
we
sort
of
reevaluated
our
taxi
stands
across
the
city.
Oftentimes
I
Drive
by
taxi
stands
and
they're
completely
empty
they're,
very
long
in
length.
X
I
know,
there's
one
say
it
right
up
to
around
the
corner
here
up
on
Federal
Street
things
almost
a
block
along,
you
never
see
a
taxi
there
and
then,
at
the
same
time
we
have
uber
and
lyft
and
I
know
the
competition
I'm
not
saying
that
they
should
be
sharing
space
because
it's
like
they
have
failed
toys,
but
they
just
pull
over.
Let
people
out
in
the
middle
of
street
and
cross
traffic
jams
and
accidents
and
what
amasau
so
I
guess.
X
X
B
On
ten
seas,
pick
up
and
drop
off,
as,
as
we've
discussed,
we're
doing
the
pilot
right
now
on
Boylston
Street
in
the
Fenway
we'll
do
the
evaluation
shortly
figure
out
how
to
tweak
that,
if
figure
out
how
to
expand
that
dedicating
more
space
on
a
curb
side
and
figure
out
how
to
manage
it?
Well
for
pick-up
and
drop-off,
regardless
of
whether
it's
a
taxi,
uber
or
lyft,
a
personal
car
is
incredibly
important
to
us.
We
should
have
more
of
an
update
after
we've
completed
the
evaluation
over
the
course
this
summer.
B
If
you
have
specific
ideas
of
locations
where
this
would
make
a
difference,
that
would
be
valuable
for
us
in
this
budget
separately.
To
your
broader
question,
there
is
I
believe
$225,000
for
essentially
a
kerb
study
that
would
look
at
exactly
some
of
these
questions
that
you're
raising
in
some
of
these
hi
come
in
these
high
congested
areas
wins
a
lot
of
different
curb
demand,
whether
it's
for
pickup,
drop-off
or
commercial
loading,
metered
parking,
etc.
B
X
If
you
be
kind
enough
to
maybe
get
me
a
map
of
where
all
these
episodes
are
taxi
stands
currently
are
in
our
city,
I
hope
I.
So
we
have
that
information
and
and
I
can
do
an
assessment
and
work
with
you
to
try
to
identify
which
ones
have
outlived
their
usefulness,
which
ones
need
to
be
lengthened,
which
ones
need
to
be
shortened
which
ones
need
to
be
converted
to
two
parking
spaces
into
a
commercial.
Where
do
we
stand
with
these
safe
routes
to
school,
coordinated
position?
X
B
Work
with
VPS
the
principal
thing
we
have
outstanding
and
Vinny
and
Stephanie
can
add
to
this.
We
applied
for
a
1
million
dollar
grant
from
from
the
sacristan
school
program
at
the
state
level,
which
we
are
optimistic.
We've
sort
of
made
it
to
the
next
round
and
we're
hopeful
for
which
really
would
allow
us
to
invest
in
a
number
of
physical
changes
to
the
street,
particularly
in
the
garrison
Trotter
area,
to
have
a
better
and
safer
crossings
to
some
of
the
schools
that
are
still
in
play.
X
J
There
was
just
a
recent
capital
investment
in
the
building.
A
lot
of
issues
that
were
in
dire
need
of
attention
were
addressed
and
it's
it's
functioning
as
needed,
and
and
obviously
bringing
in
the
the
toes
and
that's
where
the
Enforcement
Division
is
housed.
So
that's
where
all
the
enforcement
officers
are
deployed
from
on
a
daily
basis,
so
I.
X
Get
great
feedback
from
attendees
another.
Well,
we
took
it
off
the
boards
for
a
little
while
the
previous
administration,
and
then
this
administration
and
their
wisdom
put
it
back
in
this
I
know
that
generates
a
lot
of
interest
over
there
on
particularly
on
Saturdays,
when
they
they
have
in
the
auctions,
mm-hmm
great
and
then
just
really
around
the
sort
of
pda's
article
eighties.
X
Logical
development
just
want
to
get
a
confidence
level
that
there's
sort
of
on
the
multi-jurisdictional
overlap
between,
say,
bt
d
b,
ra
b
pd,
a
public
works
packs
that,
when
get
you
know
major
development
going
on
that
we're
taking
a
look
at
making
making
room
for
infrastructure
improvements.
You
know
particularly
we're
gonna
start
to
talk.
X
You
know
about
greater
efforts
around
vision,
zero,
how
those
discussions
taking
place
I
know
that
when
a
develop
comes
in
kind
of
immediately
talking
about,
you
know
how
much
affordable
housing
and
how
big
and
how
many
units
and
that
set
of
stuff
but
I,
think
often
times
gets
lost
in
the
discussion
that
you
know,
our
infrastructure
is
aging
in
in
dire
need
of
of
an
infusion
of
investment.
Private
investment
just
clearly
fall
on
BTD
or
the
city,
and
that's
our
opportunity
to
kind
of
capture,
maybe
some
mitigation
there.
B
Viniq,
it's
really
talked
more
about
this.
We
agree
with
you
that
there's
an
incredible
opportunity
there
and
there's
been
some
good
collaboration
already
with
with
some
developers
in
the
of
the
16
positions
which
have
already
come
on
board.
One
of
those
is
actually
specifically
for
a
member
of
a
needs
team
to
work
on
exactly
what
you're
talking
about
how
to
have
the
right
type
of
to
work
through
all
the
arc.
Lady
processes
make
sure
we're
investing
in
things
that
will
really
make
a
difference
on
our
space.
X
In
same
type
of
collaboration
and
communication
with
the
states,
a
DC
are
in
MBTA
a
lot
of
overlap
started
my
neighborhood.
We
did
the
road
diet
working
with
state
leaders
congressman
to
get
table
of
odd
under
control,
as
well
as
the
speed
humps.
Any
any
comments
on
whether
that
you,
depending
on
that,
whether
it's
been
successful,
I
know
from
the
community
standpoint.
It's
it's
big.
It's
paying
off
dividends.
X
Is
that
something
that
we
as
a
city
would
like
to
sort
of
replicate
in
other
pockets,
where
we're
experiencing
high
volume
of
traffic
speeding,
vehicles
cutting
through
and
up
and
down
streets
in
the
neighborhood,
as
well
as
putting
you
know,
pedestrians,
cyclists
and
other
motorists
in
harm's
way,
so
I
know
that
Road
diets
seem
to
work
at
least
we've
seen
it.
The
speed
humps
seem
to
be
working
in
the
spring
and
summer
months,
so
any
thoughts
on
expanding
that
program
to
city
streets,
our.
B
Sense
is
that
that
those
interventions
have
worked
well.
There
was
definitely
some
feedback
about
some
of
the
specific
transition
points,
particular
for
cyclists
along
that
day,
Boulevard
corridor
that
were
we're.
Mindful
of
we
have
some
very
good
as
the
reference
earlier
very
regular
coordination
with
the
MBTA
on
some
of
their
investments,
as
well
as
with
with
mass
dot
and
DC
are,
and
as
we
think
about
that
dable
of
our
transition
to
illustrate
there
some
work
that
which
I
think
we
can
continue
to
do
to
make
sure
that
entire
corridor
works
for
everybody.
Okay,
thank.
AA
Mr.
chair
and
I
know
councillor
Edwards
thanked
a
lot
of
folks
from
your
team,
but
I
wanted
to
make
sure
to
mention
Carla
and
Tracy
who
I
noticed,
came
into
the
chamber
and
I
know
he's
not
on
your
team
anymore,
but
everyone
has
been
so
great,
so
I
just
wanted
to
shout
them
out
the
interim
Commissioner
so
welcome.
How
are
you
good.
AA
AA
B
B
AA
And-
and
several
people
have
mentioned,
the
3d
crosswalk,
which
I
absolutely
love
and
adore
anything
that
can
get
us
to
a
place
where
we're
doing
much
more
to
share
our
roads
between
everyone,
so
I
love
the
idea
of
3d
I
love,
Ray's,
crosswalks,
I
love,
the
rapid
flashing,
beacon,
I
love
that
so
I'd
love
to
see
more
of
that
throughout
the
city
and
certainly
in
my
district
in
terms
of
parking
and
parking
permits.
In
particular,
you
know
what
what
is
the
the
plan
moving
forward?
AA
This
probably
came
up
before
I
got
into
the
room
in
terms
of
the
need
to
do.
No
one,
no
one
dared
ask
about
parking.
I
know
you're
just
kidding
you
know.
Do
we
have?
Are
we
moving
forward
with
some
sort
of
audit
some
sort
of
inventory
to
understand?
How
are
how
does
your
office
then
determine
which
neighborhoods
so
I've
raised
this
with
you
before?
AA
So
in
my
district
down
Dudley
in
the
heart
of
Roxbury,
there
are
parking
signs
or
residential
parking
signs
that
say
the
South
End,
where
that
little
school
bus
yard
is
there
are
some
over
there
near
the
new
hotel,
there's
some
there.
So
one,
how
does
the
city
determine
which
neighborhood
I
don't
know
how
this
happened,
but
those
signs
need
to
be
removed
and
replaced
and
they
have
to
reflect
the
correct
neighborhood?
So
can
you
speak
to
how
happens?
How
do
you.
B
My
understanding-
and
this
predates
it-
maybe
every
single
one
of
us
here
there
was
there-
was
an
application
that
came
in
that
particular
case
was
an
application
that
came
from
residents
a
petition
that
came
from
residents
and
in
their
petition
it
was
request,
was
for
South
End.
We
are
looking
to
align
the
way
in
which
we
are
thinking
about
neighborhood
boundaries
with
the
way
in
which
the
city
generally
does,
which
in
this
case
would
have
mass.
B
AA
My
mind
certainly
you've
got
to
look
at
that
and
figure
out
how
to
do
the
alignment
I
support
that,
but
in
the
immediate
future,
I
think
we
need
to
rectify
and
correct
what
has
happened
at
least
in
this
area.
I
know,
in
other
places
where
there
are
signs
that
have
the
wrong
neighborhood.
There
may
need
to
be
a
longer
conversation
where
there
are
many
more
residents
who
are
living
in
that
area
and
who
may
identify
their
neighborhood
as
one
neighborhood
over
another
neighborhood,
but
we're
talking
this
we're
talking.
AA
B
We
met
a
couple
times
on
this
one
of
the
next
steps
and
I
may
be
out
of
date
on
this,
but
we
were
gonna
for
that
area
between
Washington
Melanie
trauma
and
that's
you
know.
In
that
area
we
issued
South
End
resident,
permit
parking
stickers
and
how
do
we
sort
of
effectively
do
a
transition
in
that
in
that
area?
So
we
were
basically
gonna
pull
the
list
of
everybody.
Who's
got
an
RPP
sticker
in
that
area
and
then
work
through
that
transition
process.
AA
Would
be
that
would
be
really
helpful.
That
would
be
really
helpful
in
terms
of
the
Safe
Routes
program
and
I
heard
someone
just
mention
it
so
you've
made
it
to
the
next
round,
so
this
came
up
in
our
bps
transfer
day
and
hearing
for
sure
so
good.
So
you
made
it
to
the
next
round
anything
that
you
need
from
folks
from
the
advocacy
community
from
city
councillors
in
terms
of
letters
of
support,
you're
good
in
terms
of.
AA
And
then
parking
continues
to
be
a
challenge
in
Dudley
square.
It's
a
commercial
district,
two
of
our
parking
lots
or
municipal
parking.
Lots
are
up
for
bid
now
or
will
be
soon.
I
think
one
of
them
is
no.
Two
of
them
are
out
to
bid
right
now,
there's
a
third
one
that
will
be
soon
so
we're
losing
a
lot
of
the
parking
in
the
area
and
business
owners
have
raised
this
as
a
deep
concern.
What
is
the
overall
plan?
Is
it
somehow
connected
to
the
parking
audit?
Are
you
looking
at
doing
more
residential
stickers?
B
B
We're
mindful
that
there's
we
sort
of
dive
in
and
really
figure
out,
what's
the
availability
of
spaces,
which
is
it
so
that
we
can
better
manage
those
spaces
and
also,
as
we've
long
talked
about,
what's
the
right
way
to
find
alternatives
such
as
better
bus
or
bike
or
walking
connections,
to
be
to
also
work
better
in
that
area,
it
seems
some
investment
that
we
need
to
do,
which
is
part
of
the
40
million
dollars
for
roadway
investment.
The
city
is
making
around
oh.
AA
No
and
that's
very
important,
I
think,
as
we
think
about
the
new
development
coming
in
the
area,
they've
got
to
look
at
a
whole
host
of
things,
not
just
the
parking
plan
so
I.
Absolutely
it's
down.
Dudley,
it's
a
major
bus
terminal.
We've
got
to
make
sure
that
we've
got
the
infrastructure
for
pedestrians
and
for
cyclists.
That's
that's
wonderful,
but
business
owners
do
keep
raising
this
as
an
issue
as
well
as
some
of
the
other
groups.
AA
G
So
that
is
not
somebody
parking
there
the
whole
day,
and
so
one
way
to
do
that
has
been
to
install
meters,
and
so
that's
what
the
data
in
the
Austin
Brighton
main
streets
are
spring
and
I've
heard
from
too
many
pumps
and
in
in
the
Dudley
Square
area,
that's
something
they
might
be
open
to,
but
it
makes
a
big
difference
and
it's
not
about
the
revenue
it's
about
generating
turnovers.
They.
AA
G
Municipal
parking
large
side
that
would
continue
to
remain
as
municipal
parking
lots
and
so
I
think
advertising
their
presence.
Somebody.
You
know
people
might
have
to
walk
an
extra
three
or
four
minutes
to
get
to
a
small
business
from
those
parking
lots.
But
in
the
past
we've
tried
to
create
a
little
map
of
all
the
parking
lots
that
are
municipally-owned
or
owned
by
the
BPD,
a
that
are
still
kind
of
viable.
So
people
are
aware
of
those
parking
lots
and
can
park
there.
Okay,.
AA
G
AB
Hi
I'm
Sara,
Freeman,
Jamaica,
Plain
I,
live
on
the
arbor
way,
I'll,
try
not
to
repeat
what
others
have
said,
except
for
maybe
one
thank
you
for
what
you
are
doing.
I
know
we
tend
to
sound
like
we
complain
a
lot
of
these
events.
You
are
making
progress,
I
guess
I
would
just
say
we
need
more.
When
people
hear
about
20
staff
and
increase
funding,
you
expect
to
start
seeing
momentum
and
I'll
quote
our
former
mayor
who
had
a
great
one-liner.
The
car
is
no
longer
king
in
Boston
I.
AB
Don't
remember
how
many
years
ago
that
was,
but
it
still
feels
like
the
car
is
king
in
Boston
and
I
know.
In
my
personal
acquaintances,
a
lot
of
people
are
biking,
more
would
bike
as
I
think
councillor
O'malley
said
if
it
felt
safe,
I'm,
68
years
old,
I,
don't
heal
as
well
as
I
used
to
I'm
afraid
to
go
certain
places
and
paint
doesn't
make
it
feel
safe,
especially
near
where
I
live.
AB
So
every
trip
I
take
starts
at
my
house
within
a
quarter
mile
at
a
meeting
last
night
and
it's
DC
are
not
not
City.
There
are
four
streetlights
that
have
been
knocked
down
by
cars,
so
that
doesn't
make
you
feel
like
well
gee.
If
you
were
beside
that
car
or
between
that
car
and
the
pole,
it
just
is
a
big
broadcast
that
this
cars
don't
stay
on
the
road
here,
which
is
another
whole
issue.
AB
What
else
did
I
want
to
say
Oh
about
the
timing?
I
know
it's
not
easy
and
streamlining
is
not
as
easy
as
it
sounds,
but
I
think
it
was
two
years
ago
when
there
was
a
city
forum
at
English,
High
and
all
the
departments
were
present
might
have
been
June
of
17.
We
heard
exactly
what
of,
and
he
said
today
that
the
hide
squirt,
the
centre,
South
streetscape,
hide
squares,
funded
for
implementation.
The
rest
is
funded
for
design.
It
would
be
so
helpful
to
know
we
have
this
scheduled
for
two
years
from
now.
AB
Like
I,
think
people
understand
you
can't
do
it
all
at
once,
but
are
we
fifth
in
the
queue
or
50th?
And
then
people
just
have
a
feeling
of
confidence
that
it's
going
to
happen,
but
maybe
not
right
away
and
not
to
pick
on
individuals?
Is
that
a
two
minute
warning
3
Stephanie
and
a
couple
others
who
are
in
here
today
we're
on
a
walk?
And
this
is
also
DCR
but
we're
Boston
residents
around
Murray
circle
by
the
Arboretum,
a
place
where
you
expect
pedestrian
traffic
a
missing
crosswalk?
AB
This
was
March
of
18,
so
over
a
year
ago,
when
DC
our
repaved
a
street
or
not
sure
if
it
was
City
or
DC
our
center
street,
that
there
weren't
ramps,
so
the
crosswalk
didn't
get
repainted
a
year
later,
the
crosswalk
meant
that
that's
actually
been
some
time.
The
crosswalk
is
still
not
there
and
now
there's
another
one
missing
across
the
Arbor
way.
Coming
up
from
Forest
Hills
on
the
residential
lanes
same
thing:
they
repaved
the
islands,
aren't
ramped,
so
the
crosswalk
didn't
get
back
I'll.
AB
Send
you
a
photo
it's
an
ocean
of
pavement
and
no
paint,
but
the
people
didn't
go
away.
Just
the
crosswalks.
Thank
you.
Oh
do.
I
have
time
for
red
light
cameras,
I'm,
not
I'm,
not
keeping
an
eye
on
that
time.
I'm
sorry,
it
makes
no
sense
either
you
have
them
or
you
don't
if
they
use
them
for
toll
evaders,
then
use
them
for
safety.
The
money
and
the
safety
are
being
treated
differently.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
AC
Hello,
thank
you
for
having
me
on.
My
name
is
emmanuel.
I
am
a
resident
in
a
voter
boston,
also,
a
community
organizer
with
the
boston,
cyclists,
Union
and
also
a
blue
bike.
Ambassador
just
came
from
event
this
morning,
since
high
school
I've
been
on
advocating
for
equity
in
Boston
and
Massachusetts
for
transportation,
education,
youth
jobs
and
jobs
in
the
fire
sector,
and
even
for
housing.
AC
I
worked
on
work,
our
work
went
to
school
and
lived
in
Roxbury
and
Dorchester,
and
also
in
the
area
where
I
live
in
Boston
and
also
now
I
now
live
in
Charlestown
I've
been
there
for
now
a
year
now
and
I
also
get
around
the
city
on
my
bike
and
also
use
public
transportation.
I
always
saw
the
biking
when
I
started
working
the
night
shift,
I
stopped
my
shop,
so
I
would
start
at
midnight
and
and
in
the
morning,
around
7:00
or
8:00
o'clock,
and
around
that
time
the
MT
is
not
running.
AC
So
the
blue
bike
was
very
valuable
for
me
to
get
get
to
work
and
get
back
home
in
the
morning.
Also
now
I'm
living
the
Charlestown
I
see
the
inequality
of
bike
lanes
and
bike
routes
towards
on
Roxbury
and
Dorchester
and
I'm.
Here
to
ask
that
also
thank
you
for
city
councilors.
They
also
met
with
members
of
the
Boston
cyclists
Union
over
the
last
month
and
also
supporting
the
Capitol
and
also
those
who
supported
the
proposal
for
triple
capital
funding
for
cystic
Dziedzic
on
bike,
Network
and
visuals
on
their
own.
AC
For
those
who
work
I'm
heard
from
the
bus's
two
seconds
Union.
We
are
1200
members
and
hope
that
you
stand
with
us
for
safer
roads
and
connected
bike
routes
and
also
here
because
on
4
on
projects
to
fill
up
the
critical
gaps
in
the
network,
a
good
focus
would
be
on
connecting
all
communities
of
Mattapan
Dorchester
on
Roxbury
and
High
Park
to
like
major
arm
of
the
city
on
Nick.
Well,
by
connect
words
from
downtown,
even
all
the
rate
I
say
on
where
I'm
at
and
I'm
all
the
way
north
of
Boston
of
Charlestown.
AC
AC
Last
year,
one
thing
I'll
arm
I
was
very
inspirational
and
very
proud
of
was
when
I
was
stationed
on
at
Mattapan
world
Hall
around
common
square
people
say
how
about
all
those
stations
were,
because
they
were
outside
our
perimeter
of
our
system
and
even
adding
those
more
stations
in
those
areas
to
be
more
dense
would
be
guarantee
people
to
have
access
and
even
affordability,
because
there
is
the
low
income
program
with
blue
bikes.
You
know,
so
they
give
them
accessibility
to
get
to
the
city
more.
AC
So
you
say
friend,
on
the
bike
and
I'm
with
on
more
bike
lanes
and
particular
bike
lanes
on
people
will
see
the
visibility
and
have
access
to
work
and
appointments
around
Boston.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
AD
Hi
everyone,
my
name
is
Maura
Holland
I'm,
a
former
resident
of
Dorchester,
a
current
resident
of
Jamaica
Plain
I
work
at
Madison,
Park,
Development
Corporation
in
Roxbury
and
I'm.
Also,
a
master's
student
at
Tufts,
University,
urban
and
environmental
planning
and
policy
program.
I
have
three
quick
points
that
I'd
like
to
make.
One
is
well
me
start
by
saying
I'm
I'm
happy
with
the
increased
funding
for
a
lot
of
these
infrastructure
projects,
I'm
looking
forward
to
seeing
the
city
accomplish
their
own
goals
in
the
2030
report.
AD
AD
My
second
point
is
around
community
engagement.
I
do
commune
in
gage
Minh
for
work,
so
it's
a
very
important
aspect
for
me:
I'd
like
to
just
talk
briefly
about
an
example
of
an
equitable
community
engagement
that
I've
seen
recently
as
a
resident
of
Roxbury
I've
been
sort
of
aware
of
the
the
Jaypee
rocks
planning
process.
That's
been
going
on.
The
Jaypee
rocks
planning
process
provided
online
maps
for
people
to
talk
about
transportation
issues,
so
you
could
provide
online
comments
and
you
could
also
see
other
people's
comments.
AD
They
also
did
tabling
in
Egleston
square
where
they
talked
to
people
on
the
street,
about
issues
relating
to
transportation
and
their
outreach
was
multilingual.
They
had
outreach
both
in
Spanish
and
in
English,
which
was
great
I
work
in
Roxbury
and
the
plan
dudley
process
had
none
of
this
by
the
city's
own
Datta
they're,
almost
around
40%
of
Roxbury
is
spanish-speaking.
Why
was
there
not
multilingual
outreach
done
for
that?
Why
was
there
not
on
street
outreach
done
for
that,
and
there
was
no
online
presence
for
the
planning
process
so
going
forward.
AD
I
would
really
like
to
understand
what
the
standards
are
for
community
outreach
around
these
different
processes.
I
think
that
it's
very
important
for
us
to
have
the
top
three
languages
in
every
neighborhood
accounted
for
and
translated
for
in
these
different
planning
processes,
so
that
more
people
can
be
involved
in
those
planning
processes,
because
at
the
moment
they
can't-
and
my
third
point
is
around-
we
need
new
ideas
to
solve
our
transportation
problems.
We
need
to
embrace
new
ways
of
doing
things
as
I'm
sure
we're
all
aware.
AD
Boston
earned
the
title
of
most
congested
city
in
the
United
States
in
a
report
earlier
this
year,
almost
an
and
there's
been
some
really
great
examples
and
models
from
other
cities
to
solve
some
of
these
problems.
Michele
councillor
Wu
has
suggested
parking
permit
fees.
She
suggested
other
policies
around
making
the
tea
free,
which
I
think
we
should
all
consider
bus
bike.
Priority
lanes
are
really
important
for
us
to
think
about
making
transportation
easier,
more
convenient
and
more
able
for
folks
to
take
those
modes
of
transportation.
AD
Also,
I
wanted
to
just
bring
up
a
comment
that
was
made
earlier
about.
We
need
more
time
to
think
about
solutions.
Really.
There
are
endless
effective
models
from
other
cities
both
nationally
and
internationally,
for
us
to
solve
some
of
these
issues
and
I
think
we
don't
need
time
to
think
and
plan
more
I
think
we
need
more
implementation.
AD
AE
AE
I'd
like
to
echo
all
the
other
comments
that
were
made
I
know.
I
could
not
hurt
any
comments
that
seemed
unimportant
or
you
know
things
that
didn't
need
action
right
away.
I
think
I
just
wanted
to
echo
a
few
things
because
I
get
around
by
bike,
but
my
wife
can't
because
she
doesn't
feel
safe
just
getting
over
to
the
new
bike
land
on
Beacon
Street
or
just
getting
over
to
the
southwest
quarter
park.
I
talk
to
people
at
work
they
want
to
get
around
by
bike.
AE
They
really
do,
but
it's
those
little
gaps
and
just
again
echoing
the
issue
about
the
gaps,
those
prevent
them
from
actually
getting
to
work
in
the
Seaport.
Where
you
know
the
Silver
Line
is
at
125
percent
capacity,
and
you
know
the
red
line
is
a
little
bit
of
a
walk
you
can.
You
can
get
there
very
easily
by
bike?
AE
You
know
along
a
certain
piece
that
just
happens
to
be
connected,
so
I
seems
like
an
incredibly
underutilized
thing
to
have,
and
so
just
putting
more
of
a
push
for
funding
for
these
good
folks
here
who
can
complete
the
network
and
get
it
all
together
would
really
I
think
pay
off
in
a
very,
very
big
way
and
pretty
quickly,
but
it
has
to
be
connected
first,
so
that's
all
I
had
to
say.
Thank
you
much.
Thank.
F
Flynn
Thank
You
council
co-moh,
and
thank
you
to
the
panelists
for
being
here
for
such
a
long
period
of
time
and
apologize
for
stepping
out
a
while
back
chief
fight.
One
of
the
issues
I
I,
continue
to
hear
in
South.
Boston
is
on
Broadway
with
the
South
Boston
courthouses,
it's
kind
of
on
the
top
of
top
of
the
hill
and
people
traveling
children
from
that
area,
going
at
a
great
great
deal
of
speed,
but
would
love
to
see
a
crosswalk
Thea
and
slowed
down
the
traffic,
especially
there,
especially
in
that
area.
F
B
Btd
team
has
taking
a
look
at
exactly
this
house.
There's
a
I'm
not
mistaken,
there's
a
pedestrian
ramp
in
front
of
the
courthouse.
What
on
the
opposite
side,
we
did
no
crosswalk
in
between
that
does
cross
I
believe
two
lanes
of
travel
each
direction.
Yes,
so
I,
we
certainly
hear
you
I'm
the
sort
of
there's
an
interest
in
pedestrians
crossing
across
the
year,
they're
interested
in
doing
better
traffic
calming
in
that
quarter,
and
we
are
happy
to
work
with
you
on
that.
B
Whether
or
not
the
solution
is
a
big
block
mid-block
crossing
there,
though
I
think
we'd
want
to
all
take
some
time
and
really
and
get
it
right
to
make
sure
that
that
crossing
actually
is
safe
or
that
we're
making
sure
the
pedestrians
are
safe,
and
then
we
are
lowering
speeds
in
that
particular
area.
Thank.
F
F
F
B
We
have
a
it's
a
great
question:
there
is
a
team
within
BTD,
led
by
@s
furred,
that
reviews
all
the
construction
management
plans.
He
and
his
team
will
sign
off
on
them.
I
believe
the
number
was
around
1300
over
the
last
calendar
year,
so
obvious.
There's
a
tremendous
amount
of
work,
that's
happening
in
the
city.
They
are
the
ones
that
that,
on
the
for
the
plan,
make
sure
that
it
falls
follows
all
appropriate
guidelines
if
you
do
feel
like
there's
any
construction
zone.
That
is
not
following
that
that
you
do
not
feel
as
effective.
F
That's
a
critical
issue
is
making
sure
that
our
elderly
and
and
those
with
disabilities
have
equal
access
to
our
streets
and
sidewalks
as
I
mentioned
earlier.
Elderly
elderly
parents
that
walk
the
streets
with
a
special
needs
grandson
and
they
tell
me
all
the
time
that
they
see
construction
taking
place
and
you're
sending
elderly
people
out
into
the
street,
because
the
construction
company
didn't
think
was
a
priority
to
address
a
DA
issues.
F
So
I'm
gonna
focus
on
that
on
my
time
on,
the
City
Council
is
making
sure
that
everything
has
everything
is
accessible
to
our
elderly
and
especially
our
disabled
as
well,
and
that's
all
I
have
and
again
thanking
chief
and
to
your
team
for
working
hard.
I
know
it's
I
know
it's
a
a
major
major
issues.
You're
dealing
with,
but
I,
think
I
think
you
have
a
good
team
and
your
your
hearts
in
the
right
position.
Cancer.
Thank.
N
You
councillor,
CMO
and
I'll,
be
brief.
Just
wanted
to
thank
start
with
some.
Thank
you.
First
of
all,
chief,
thank
you
for
the
partnership
with
the
mayor's
office
and
Charlie
card
accessibility,
which
is
not
only
going
to
be
here.
It's
gonna,
be
in
our
libraries.
We
talk
about
what
we
can
do
on
the
city
side
and
I'm,
always
stressing
the
authority
we
have
and
what
we
can
actually
get
done
for
our
residents.
That
was
one
thing
which
is
saves
them
money,
incentivize,
more
incentivizes,
more
people
to
take
the
T
so
that
announcement
come
out
today.
N
So
thank
you
and
your
team
for
your
hard
work,
as
well
as
the
partnership
with
the
mayor.
Also
thank
you
to
the
blue
bikes
expansion.
This
gentleman
here
was
mentioning
Codman
square
other
neighborhoods
that
are
in
my
district,
where
folks
are
really
excited,
Matapan,
Square,
to
get
blue
bikes
and
are
using
them
constantly.
So
that's
a
really
great
thing
and
also
I
know.
We
talked
a
little
bit
about
coordination
between
Public,
Works
and
BTD
yesterday,
but
just
bringing
it
up
again
because
there
are
folks,
obviously
from
btv
who
weren't
here
yesterday.
N
There
were
some
instances
where
Public
Works
went
out
and
did
some
markings,
and
then
BTD
had
to
go
back
and
do
something
else.
So
looking
forward
to
working
on
the
coordination
issue,
just
had
a
one
at
last
point
or
two
I
guess
questions,
but
one
last
point
was
on
something
councilor
Baker
brought
up.
I
also
want
to
thank
you
for
an
administration.
N
These
sort
of
roundtables
we've
been
having
with
respect
to
taxi
drivers
and
a
lot
of
folks
live
in
our
district
who
still
work
in
that
industry
or
who,
frankly
felt
like
you
know
they
were
doing
all
the
right
things.
This
new
industry
comes
online
and
they
weren't
prepared.
Yes,
I
get
that
over
and
lyft
are
regulated
by
the
state,
but
we
probably
could
have
been.
It
did
a
better
job,
just
preparing
for
this
industry
that
was
going
to
come
online
to
brace
for
it,
given
our
authority
over
them.
So
look
forward
to
continuing
those
conversations.
N
B
We
work
with
some
of
the
TNCs
to
understand
where
there
was
a
sort
of
a
high
concentration
of
pickup
and
drop-offs
on
a
block
face
that
we
felt
that
we
could
sort
of
manage
for
this
pilot
purpose.
That's
different
from
how
in
which
how
we
imagined
from
rolling
this
out
beyond
this.
This
really
is
just
a
test.
To
figure
out
doesn't
really
work
too
to
have
pick
up
and
drop
off
down
in
this
way
and
then,
as
soon
as
we've
done,
that
evaluation
make
whatever
changes
need
to
make.
B
N
N
Well,
look
forward
to
continuing
that
conversation
with
you
guys
as
well
and
thank
you
and
thank
you
for
him
for
continuing
to
make
American
Legion
highway
a
priority.
You
know
I'll
end
by
just
saying
you
know
thank
you
to
your
entire
team.
I
know
that
you
guys
don't
have
an
easy
job.
If
we
see
a
lot
of
the
constituent
cases,
obviously
you
guys
do
too.
You
live
in
the
city
of
Boston
people,
probably
chasing
you
down
at
the
grocery
store
as
well.
So
this
is
definitely
a
partnership
not
coming
at
you.
N
It's
asking
questions
from
the
perspective
of
my
residents.
Thank
you
to
folks
who
are
here
as
well.
Carla
is
really
special
to
our
team,
because
we
go
to
her
literally
I
think
almost
every
single
day,
including
on
weekends,
with
respect
to
constituent
cases,
then
she
pulls
in
everyone.
So
I
really
appreciate
you
and
then
the
men
and
women,
of
course,
who
can't
be
here.
N
Budget
hearings,
as
they're
working
always
want
to
go
on
record,
thanking
them
and
I'll
continue
the
conversation
on
the
barriers
with
respect
to
some
of
the
slow
streets
and
things,
because
if
it
is
resources
or
human
capital
or
other
ways
to
support
the
work
of
particularly
Stephanie
shop
and
what
she's
doing
there,
along
with,
of
course,
engineers
really
want
to
support
that
and
if
I
have
to
sort
of
speak
loud
about
it.
Happy
to
do
that.
N
I
think
where
we
sit
on
this
side
to
push
folks
and
accountability
is
key
if
it's
more
resources
and
I
say
give
BTD
I,
think
I
yelled
it
at
the
last
hearing
more
resources
and
if
I
come
with
emotion.
It's
because
you
have
a
20
month
old
and
literally
walking
across
Groveland
I
thought
we
were
gonna
get
hit
by
a
car
one
day.
N
It
was
that
bad
and
so
I
know
I'm,
not
the
only
one
experiencing
that
so
I
look
forward
to
working
partnership
with
you
guys
and
pushing
and
pushing,
and
maybe
there's
some
things
that
we
can
actually
gain
in
this
budget
to
make
your
jobs,
hopefully
a
little
easier.
So
thank
you
again
and
thank
you
to
counts
or
CMO
for
navigating
it
incorporating
public
testimony.
My.
R
Chair
just
a
couple
quick
questions:
Chris
in
this
is
on
Greg's
position
here.
Why?
Why
would
we
and
I'm
just
ignorant
I
guess
why
would
we
have
to
go
for
a
nationwide
search
for
someone
in
a
Boston
job?
The
last
thing
that
I
want
to
do
is
show
my
Transportation
Commissioner
like
we're.
Try
Mott
Street
is.
Will
you
just
fill
me
in
on
why
we
would
so.
B
Before
we
even
get
to
thinking
about
searches,
the
the
work
that
we're
doing
right
now
is
to
think
about
service
structure
and
alignment
between
Public
Works
and
transportation
yeah,
with
an
eye
towards
a
lot
of
things
which
we've
talked
about
here
so
before
we
think
about
that
next
step.
It's
really.
We
want
to
figure
out
what
is
the
what's
that
right,
structural,
so
that's
that's
meaning.
B
The
right
process
for
being
held
actually
and
it's
what
we've
heard
it's
honestly,
what
we
all
feel
there's
a
huge
amount
of
work
we
want
to
get
down.
We
want
to
be
able
to
get
it
done
more
more
quickly
than
we're
doing
it
today,
and
so
we
want
to
take
a
moment
to
figure
out
what
the
right
ways
to
get
that.
R
R
A
B
T
Okay,
great
so
I
know
it's
been
a
long.
It's
been
a
long
hearing,
come
so
I'm,
Matt,
Lawler
and
with
walk-up
Roslindale,
and
we
have
about
400
followers
for
50
followers
on
our
Facebook
page
and
a
steering
group
of
residents
of
about
20
to
25
folks,
so
I'm
here
representing
them
and
just
want
to
say
thankful
for
the
opportunity
to
testify.
We
appreciate
all
the
work
that's
been
going
on
in
Roslindale.
T
You
know,
especially
the
birch
Street
pop-up
Plaza,
which
the
mayor
visited
this
weekend
and
saw
Chris
there,
the
walkable
Main
Street
work
that
was
done
in
the
square
recently:
the
Walter
Street,
safe
crossings
and
the
Washington
Street
and
peak
bus
lanes
so
that
the
bus
bike
lane
the
folks
have
referenced
I
just
want
to
offer
four
quick
comments.
The
first
would
be
related
to
that
last
point
about
the
bus
lane.
I
think
we
do
need
to
sort
of
continue
to
focus
on
that
pilot.
T
It
was
piloted
it's
it's
had
some
of
the
elements
of
a
full
bus
installation,
a
full
breast
priority
lane,
but
I
think
we
need
to
sort
of
get
it
all
the
way
there.
So
livable
streets
has
focused
on
this
and
they've
been
our
partners
in
advocating
for
this.
So
the
things
that
they're
looking
for
it
I
think
we're
looking
for
two
would
be
stock
consolidation
along
Washington
Street,
there's
still
probably
too
many
stops
between
the
square
and
Forest
Hills
signal
priority
in
this
in
this
corridor.
T
I,
don't
think,
there's
any
currently
and
certainly
up
near
Forest
Hills.
That
would
be
something
that
should
be
looked
at
connecting
this.
This
bus
lane
all
the
way
to
Forest
Hills
once
you
get
to
Ukraine
way
kind
of
drops
off
and
you're
in
general
traffic
with
everybody
else
for
that
last
little
bit,
which
can
be
sort
of
the
most
I'm
consuming
part
of
the
trip
and
then
finally,
the
PM
peak
improvement.
T
So
the
the
southbound
afternoon
is
an
issue
as
well:
we've
known
there
for
a
long
time,
so
we'd
like
to
start
the
planning
for
that
and
get
into
a
conversation.
We
know.
That's
more
complicated
than
the
northern
and
peak
period,
but
we
want
to
have
that
conversation
because
we
do
think
that
there's
benefits
there
for
bus
riders
as
well.
Second
thing
I
would
say:
is
we
strongly
support
the
call
for
BP
to
add
a
data
analyst
for
crash
data?
That
data
is
critically
important
to
know?
T
What's
going
on,
analyze
crashes
really
understand,
what's
causing
the
crashes
and
then
work
work
to
push
our
vision,
zero
work
forward.
So
we
need
to
know
that
and
not
having
that
position.
Right
now
is
a
problem,
so
I
think
it
would
be
great
to
fund
that
we
do
remain
concerned,
as
has
been
mentioned
by
many
counselors
about
the
slow
pace
of
the
neighborhood
slow
streets
program.
T
Just
enough
said
we
know
there
was
working
really
hard
on
it,
but
the
program
is
really
important.
Everybody
should
live
on
a
safe,
Street
and
then
finally,
I
would
want
to
add
our
strong
support
for
the
the
Vice.
The
bike
budget
that
BECU
is
pushing
the
bike
network
is
expanding.
We've
heard
that
it's
still
too
disconnected
and
I
would
even
stronger
than
Sarah
put
it.
Any
missing.
Link
in
the
network
is
a
reason
for
lots
and
lots
of
people
not
to
bike
because
they
don't
feel
safe.
T
So
we've
got
lots
of
disconnected
links
at
the
moment
and
we're
not
seeing
the
benefits
of
the
Greater
cycling
desire
in
the
city,
so
we've
got
to
connect
the
bike
network
better
and
so
I
open,
more
thoughtful
in
sort
of
every
piece
of
the
network
we
do
have
now
on
is
connected
to
some
other
piece.
Instead
of
just
sort
of
isolated
pieces,
you
know
it's
2019.
We
should
be
doing
a
lot
better
with
this
and
I
will
stop
my
comments
there.
Thank
you.
AF
Books,
my
name
is
Sutton
Keplinger
I
live
in
JP
and
I've
biked
in
Boston
every
day
in
all
weather
for
over
12
years.
I
love
that
my
bike
commute
means
that
I'm
reducing
climate
impacts
that
I'm
avoiding
the
cost
and
hassle
of
owning
a
car,
and
then
I'm
active
for
some
part
of
even
my
busiest
days
and
having
spent
my
career
in
public
health
I
know
that
equitable
investments
in
bicycle
infrastructure
for
all
Boston
neighborhoods
have
huge
benefits
for
our
collective
well-being.
I
consider
myself
a
confident
city
biker
and
a
safe
one.
AF
I
wear
bright
lights,
I
scan
my
surroundings
and
I
keep
a
mental
map
of
places
where
I
need
to
be
extra.
Careful
in
my
first
full
decade
of
biking
on
busy
streets,
including
a
lot
of
commuting
on
the
always
harrowing
Mass
Ave
down
to
Boston
Medical
Center
I've
avoided
an
incidence
which
I
attributed
for
many
years
to
that
vigilance,
and
then,
two
years
ago,
I
rode
one
day
from
work
in
Dorchester
up
to
be
you
to
meet
a
friend
and
as
I
emerged
from
the
Fenway
onto
Park
Drive,
which
has
no
bike.
AF
Lane
I
was
riding
with
traffic
up
toward
Brookline
Avenue
when
I
was
struck
from
behind
by
a
moving
car.
I
flew
straight
over
my
handlebars
and
I.
Remember
thinking
in
that
eerie
slowness
of
time
before
I
landed
hard
on
the
street.
That
I
really
hoped
I'd
be
able
to
walk
at
my
wedding,
which
was
scheduled
for
the
following
week,
and
that
I'd
still
have
all
my
teeth.
AF
AF
The
cost
of
that
and
that
inaction
obviously
are
profound,
as
we
know
that
just
this
past
February
the
driver
struck
and
killed
a
cyclist
children's
librarian
Polish
araga.
At
that
same
intersection,
all
my
greatest
vigilance
could
not
have
prevented
a
crash
from
behind,
but
good
infrastructure
could
have.
It
means
a
lot
to
me.
AF
I
encourage
the
city
to
dedicate
the
increased
funding
proposed
by
the
Boston
cyclists
Union
to
build
the
bike,
Network
envisioned
in
the
go
Boston
2030
plan
and
to
ensure
that
all
Bostonians
in
all
neighborhoods
have
the
array
of
safe
and
affordable
transportation
options
that
will
help
varsity
thrive.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
A
AG
Knew
right
when
I
stepped
out:
that's
no,
because
I
apologize
for
that.
So
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
share
some
thoughts
on
the
mayor's
proposed
transportation
funding
in
the
budget.
My
name
is
Patricia
O'leary
I'm,
the
community
advocacy
director
with
the
American
Heart
Association.
Here
in
Boston
we
are
the
largest
voluntary
health
organization
in
the
world,
working
to
build
healthier
lives,
free
of
cardiovascular
diseases
and
Stroke.
So
I'm
gonna
share
a
few
thoughts
here,
but
I
did
send
in
some
lengthier
comments
last
night
to
the
council.
AG
So
I'll
keep
my
comments
brief
right
now,
so
the
American
Heart
Association
supports
initiatives
that
create
more
livable
and
active
communities
and
advocates
for
sustained
funding
to
assist
communities
in
implementing
active
transportation
networks.
We
support
the
proposed
divest
investments
in
transportation
put
forth
in
the
mayor's
proposed
budget
and
urge
you
to
support
the
proposal
as
well.
Policies
and
funding
that
supports
safe
and
equitable
transportation,
make
communities
and
neighborhoods
more
livable
by
ensuring
all
people
can
get
safely
to
where
they
need
to
go,
whether
it's
work
school,
the
library,
grocery
stores
or
parks.
AG
They
also
help
people
feel
more
connected
to
their
neighborhoods,
which
improves
quality
of
life.
The
way
communities
are
designed
and
developed
can
affect
physical
activity
and
obesity
rates,
environments
that
are
safe
and
built
as
walking
biking
and
other
physical
activities
in
mind
are
correlated
with
lower
body
weight
and
reduced
cardiovascular
disease.
We
all
want
and
deserve
to
live
in
safe,
healthy
communities.
AG
Most
importantly,
let's
make
sure
our
transportation
funding
goes
right
where
it's
needed
most.
Unfortunately,
vulnerable
populations
often
do
not
live
in
communities
that
have
strong
supportive,
connected
transportation
systems,
they're
safe
and
convenient
to
use,
making
it
harder
to
access
jobs,
health
care,
schools
and
other
economic
and
social
opportunities.
Some
low-income
communities
and
communities
of
color
have
lacked
well-maintained
routes
to
parks
and
schools,
roads,
bike
lanes
and
sidewalks
decades.
In
many
cases,
they
simply
do
not
have
transportation
options
at
all.
AG
These
same
neighborhoods
often
experience
higher
rates
of
chronic
diseases
like
diabetes
and
heart,
disease,
prioritize
and
equity
and
transportation
appropriations
is
challenging
but
essential
for
providing
opportunities
for
actives
transit.
We
must
make
up
for
years
of
lost
opportunities
and
make
these
neighborhoods
a
prairie
moving
forward.
Thank
you.
Thank.
Y
Y
Y
Sure
so,
and
and
so
it'll
bit
it
would
also
be
good
if
the
GIS
data,
the
street
widths,
the
sidewalk
widths,
the
traffic
counts,
just
everything
that
you
are
using
in
your
traffic
model.
In
fact,
the
traffic
model
itself
make
that
public.
Let
everybody
participate,
there's
a
lot
of
really
talented
people
in
the
Boston
area
and
maybe
do
some
open
data
challenges.
Take
all
your
data
just
put
it
out
there
and
list
all
your
problems
and
try
and
get
everybody
to
help,
but
but
right
now
the
the
the
other.
Y
So
that's
one
thing
is
to
get
a
shared
sense
of
a
facts.
We
currently
I
mean
it'd,
be
really
good
to
just
have
GIS
like
every
bit
of
spending.
That's
been
done
in
every
district
and
what
was
the
benefit?
What
was
what
was
the
cost
and
what
was
the
outcome?
And
where
is
it
missing
aware?
The
next
place
is
it's
all
about
GIS
and
maps,
and
and
things
like
that,
but
the
other
thing
is
about
engagement
like
this
is
the
only
mechanism
that
I
can
talk
with.
Y
You
there's
no
way
that
people
there's
so
many
talented
people
in
the
Boston
area
and
yet
there's
no
real
mechanism.
They've
got
lots
of
good
ideas
and
there's
not
really
any
way
that
people
can
participate
and
I
just
hope
that
some
improvements
can
be
done
in
that
way,
because
there's
a
just
a
great
need.
I
here
are
these
people
who
have
had
these
accidents
and
it's
just
just
terrible.
It's
terrible
and
we
can
fix
this
or
the
other
thing.
Y
That's
the
the
simplest
thing
is
just
take
all
the
Park
cars
and
just
shift
them
out
ten
feet
and
then
have
and
have
protected
bike
lanes.
You
could
probably
do
that
for
hundreds
of
miles
this
summer,
you
know,
and
speaking
of
this
summer,
you've
probably
got
tens
of
thousands
of
high
school
students
who
are
available,
get
them
to
work
on
give
get
a
street
design
playbook
and
then
send
them
out.
Y
With
with
this
playbook
and
say
you
kids,
you
come
up
with
designs,
give
them
Street
mix
or
other
design
tools
and
let
them
get
out
on
their
feet
in
their
neighborhoods
and
and
redesign
their
own
neighborhoods
and
and
and
then
actually
help
them
carry
it
out.
You
know
so
anyway,
there's
I
hope
that
hope
you
can
continue
to
make.
Thank
you.
AH
Hi
everyone,
my
name,
is
Charlotte
Miller
and
I
live
in
Jamaica
Plain
I'm,
a
student
at
Boston,
University,
studying
Public,
Health
and
I'm.
Also
a
member
of
the
Boston
cyclists
Union
I
am
since
I've,
been
here
in
Boston
for
the
past
two
years,
I've
become
an
avid
cyclist
and,
for
me,
cycling
is
not
just
an
affordable
mode
of
transport.
It's
also
a
liberating
act
as
a
woman
to
take
part
in
an
activity
which
is
dominated
by
men.
AH
There
are
very
few
factors
that
would
prevent
me
from
cycling.
Not
even
the
rain
or
the
Boston
weather
in
the
winter,
but
being
hit
by
a
car
is
one
of
them.
Ten
days
ago,
I
was
struck
by
a
car
on
Center
Street
in
Jamaica
Plain
by
the
Bank
of
America.
I
was
cycling
home
from
work
and
I
was
wearing
a
helmet
and
lights
when
a
driver
opened
his
door
into
the
bike
lane
without
looking
I
flew
off
my
bike
and
landed
on
to
my
back
or
hitting
my
head
on.
AH
The
road
I
ended
up
in
the
hospital
and
came
out
with
a
fracture
finger
and
injured,
shoulder
and
a
bruised
body.
Since
then,
I've
been
unable
to
study
or
work
due
to
the
pain
buts.
What,
but,
what's
worse
than
this,
is
the
emotional
trauma
that
bike
accidents
cause
I'm
now
anxious
crossing
the
street
as
a
pedestrian
I've
lost
sleep
with
work.
I've
lost
sleep
with
worry
about
who
pays
for
all
this
I
feel
scared.
When
I
see
cyclist
on
the
road
and
I've
not
got
back
on
my
bike,
these
things
would
take
time
to
heal.
AH
AH
Luckily,
most
of
these
crashes
are
preventable
with
safe
bike
infrastructure,
where
I
was
hit
on
Center
Street,
there
are
painted
lanes
between
moving
traffic
and
parked
cars,
but
painted
lanes
are
not
enough.
Center
Street
is
a
high
bicycle
corridor
and
we
need
protected
bike
lanes
to
prevent
crashes
like
mine.
This
means
posts
or
planters
that
separate
cyclists
from
cars
and
not
painted
bike
lanes
in
2013
Boston's
bike
network
plan
called
for
completing
21
miles
of
protected
bike
lanes
by
2018.
AH
Boston
has
built
barely
six
since
then,
while
other
cities
are
racing
ahead
of
us,
Minneapolis
built
more
than
six
miles
of
protected
bike
lanes
last
year
and
New
York
City
built
more
than
20
Boston
needs
to
do
more.
I
urge
Boston
City
to
increase
funding
for
vision,
zero
to
12
million
dollars
and
the
strategic
bite
Network
to
four
million
dollars,
as
suggested
by
the
Boston
cyclists
Union.
This
increased
funding
would
create
more
protected
bike
lanes
to
prevent
cyclist
injuries
and
fatalities.
AH
AI
My
name
is
Ken
sue
beste
I
am
a
elected
director
at
West
End
place,
which
is
Boston's
apology
to
the
West
Enders
for
raising
their
neighborhood
in
the
1950s.
I
represent
a
mixed
mix,
income
and
mixed
age
community
with
a
large
number
of
people
who
are

Impaired
sharing
my
story.
Three
weeks
ago,
I
was
hit
by
a
car
with
my
puppy.
AI
The
driver
inserted
herself
between
the
truck
to
my
left
and
self,
pushing
myself
into
the
part
carbs
in
approximately
April
of
last
year,
I
rear-ended,
a
car
which,
by
the
college
of
music
Berklee
College
of
Music,
turned
in
front
of
me,
while
I
was
riding
on
the
green
paint
at
Mass
Ave.
In
all
these
circumstances
and
the
others
where
I
had
been
lucky
and
others
have
not
been
so
lucky
and
they've
been
killed,
ones
where
which
have
happened.
My
proximity
to
Boston
University
wanted
to
the
Boston
Garden
these
situations,
they're
they're
difficult
to
understand.
AI
They
obviously
affect
me
personally,
but
they
affect
us
somewhere
along
the
way
we
want
to
design
systems
where
we're
not
one
mistake
away
from
failure.
I'm,
a
pilot
I'm,
a
sailor,
I
teach
MIT
students
to
sail
a
55
foot
115
year
old
boat
in
all
these
systems,
anytime.
That
were
one
mistake
away
from
failure.
We
either
have
somebody
with
extreme
training,
or
we
have
a
system
where
we
rethink.
We
redesign
because
one
mistake
should
never
cost
a
human
life,
especially
one
that
one
mistake
is
natural.
AI
What's
worse
is
somebody
else's
mistake
should
never
cost
you
your
life,
so
we
can
engineer
around
this.
So
how
do
we
do
this
I?
Think?
For
starters,
we
shouldn't
have
a
Boston
Transportation
Department,
which
have
a
Boston
mobility
department
accomplish
as
many
of
the
same
things.
But
the
way
we
think
about
mobility
is
a
right.
Mobility
is
a
human
right
transportation.
On
several
wheels,
whether
they
be
1,
2,
4
or
more,
is
not
a
human
right.
The
mobility
is
a
basic
human
right.
AI
The
ability
to
move
ourselves
as
best
we
can
so
I
would
like
to
see
a
Boston
mobility
department
and,
if
you
guys
wanted
to
spend
a
little
bit
of
money
to
see
whether
that
would
work
in
a
political
and
civic
level,
that
would
be
a
great
use
of
some
of
your
funding
this
year.
I
would
also
like
to
see
a
conversation
about
how
we
define
fair.
AI
What
is
fair
when
we
talk
about
parked
cars
on
the
side
of
the
street
and
those
parked
cars
prevent
me
from
having
a
bike
line
when
those
bike
lane,
when
those
parked
cars
prevent
workers
from
being
able
to
get
to
their
jobs
faster
because
of
the
lack
of
a
bus
lane.
What's
the
economic
cost,
how
do
we
define
fair
so
that
fair,
isn't
just
in
terms
of
its
everybody
following
the
exact
same
rule
about
red
lights?
Is
every
follow
everybody
following
the
exact
same
rules
about
finances?
AI
When
are
you
done
with
expanding
road
or
improving
stoplights
I
would
love
to
see
a
definition
of
what
done
looks
like
for
the
bike
Network
and
then
work
toward
that
I'd
love
to
see
what
definition
of
done
looks
like
for
speed
across
the
city
and
work
toward
that
use
every
tool.
You
have
your
disposition,
whether
it's
congestion
fees,
light
cameras,
wider
roads
are
narrow,
rows
roads.
If
you
don't
know
what
done
looks
like?
How
can
we
agree
and
support
you
in
your
trip?
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you.
Let
me
adjourn
this
hearing
by
saying
we
thank
you.
Your
entire
429
employees,
and
especially
Karla.
She
got
numerous
shoutouts
today
and
I
want
to
give
one
to
Steve
to
who's,
been
a
great
partner
when
we
did
the
Boston
landing
site.
That
was
a
huge
endeavor
and
he
played
a
key
role
so
with
that
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
time,
attention
and
talents
today.
This
hearing
is
adjourned.
