A
A
All
right
we
got
that
settled,
I
stephanie
will
advance
the
slide
in
just
a
moment,
but
I
wanted
to
to
share
that
everyone's
microphones
are
turned
off
to
start
with,
you'll
need
to
unmute
to
speak
and
if
you're
on
a
phone,
you
do
that
by
pressing
star
six.
If
you're
on
a
other
device,
you
can
go
to
the
find
the
unmute
button
at
the
bottom
left
of
your
screen.
You
can
also
use
the
non-verbal
feedback
options.
You
can
raise
your
hand
or
leave
a
message
in
the
chat
box.
A
A
A
D
If
you
have
any
questions
or
comments,
something
that
you
want
to
bring
to
our
attention
or
something
that's
specifically
pertaining
to
either
you
mean
to
where
you
live
in
front
of
your
home
or
your
street,
specifically
along
cummins
highway.
Let
us
know
and
that's
something
that
we
can
take
a
look
at
and
incorporating
in
the
design
this
project
it
comes
highway.
This
design
will
shape
what
commons
will
be
for
the
next
70
years.
D
So
why
are
we
co?
Why
are
we
planning
on
reconstructing
cummins
highway?
Cummins
highway
hasn't
been
updated
since
the
spring
of
1955.,
and
what
you
can
see
right
now
in
this
image
is
that
streetcars
ran
along
cummins,
which
were
removed
in
1953
to
make
room
for
cars
and
essentially
what
we
see
with
cummins
now
with
the
four
lanes
in
each
direction.
D
B
D
Currently
is
right
now,
but
then
we're
also
gonna
be
replacing
or
currently
replacing
the
utilities
along
the
court,
as
you
can
see,
national
grid
is
actually
still
out
there.
This
project
has
been
budgeted
for
approximately
24
million
dollars,
so
this
is
a
huge
investment
that
the
city
is
making
to
make
these
safety
improvements,
and
also
these
are
beautifying
and
reinvesting
in
this
neighborhood.
D
In
order
to
do
that,
what
we
look
at
doing,
what
we
look
at
proposing
for
our
projects
and
for
our
streets
is
improved
safety.
We
want
to
take
a
look
at
ways
that
we
can
reduce
emissions
and
ultimately,
we
want
to
invest
in
the
communities
to
achieve
equity
and
access
to
our
opportunities
I
mean
so.
The
number
of
of
neighborhoods
throughout
the
city
of
boston
have
been
divested
in
the
past,
including
the
american
neighborhood,
so
we're
looking
at
ways
to
basically
make
those
improvements
in
the
city-wide,
not
just
in
certain
neighborhoods.
D
So,
in
order
to
accomplish
those
goals,
we
also
look
at
partnering
partnering
up
with
other
city
departments,
to
advance
our
collective
plans.
What
we
try
to
do
is
inform
residents
about
the
work
that's
going
around
the
city
so
that
you
can
stay
involved
and,
of
course
I
mean
it
improves
our
collaboration
with
our
work
to
achieve
not
only
the
city's
goals
but
also
neighborhood
goals.
D
As
I
mentioned,
collaboration
is
a
huge
part
in
achieving
these
goals.
We
want
to
bring
awareness
and
participation
into
the
efforts
that
you
care
about.
So,
as
I
mentioned,
we
do
want
residents
in
the
neighborhoods
to
reach
out
to
us
and
let
us
know
what
it
is
and
what
what
improvements
do
you
want
to
see
in
your
neighborhood?
C
Thanks
jeff,
as
jen
noted
in
the
introductions
I'm
here
tonight
to
talk
about
the
office
of
arts
and
culture
and
the
boston
art
commission
share
some
of
the
different
ways.
New
public
art
is
created
in
boston
and
to
hear
your
thoughts
about
public
art
around
the
city
and
your
vision
for
the
future
cultural
life
around
cummins,
highway.
C
The
chief
of
the
mayor's
office
of
arts
and
culture
is
cara,
elliot
ortega,
who
is
in
the
top
left
corner
of
the
screen,
and
my
colleagues
amber
torres
and
sharon
amaguni
round
out
the
public
art
team.
But
we
have
a
lot
of
other
people
in
the
office
because
we
do
a
lot
of
work
aside
from
public
art.
C
C
Regarding
public
art,
specifically,
this
slide
gives
an
overview
of
the
work
that
we
do,
which
is
broadly
divided
into
commissioning
projects
and
what
we
call
collections
projects
commissioning
projects
shown
on.
The
left
include:
city-initiated,
artworks,
supporting
community
and
artist-initiated
projects
and
programs
like
the
transformative
public
art
program
and
the
paint
box
program.
It's
a
favorite
program
collections
means
all
the
artworks
that
are
owned
by
the
city
of
boston,
most
of
the
collections
projects
involve
maintenance,
conservation
and
repairs
and
there's
also
a
lot
of
administrative
work.
C
C
C
C
The
percent
for
art
program
was
an
initiative
of
the
mayor's
office
of
arts
and
culture
and
was
a
result
of
the
city's
cultural
plan.
Boston
creates
the
program
demonstrates
the
city's
commitment
to
sustainable
funding
for
the
arts
by
setting
aside
one
percent
of
the
city's
annual
capital,
borrowing,
borrowing
budget
for
the
commissioning
of
permanent
public
art
for
capital
projects
beyond
integrating
public
art
in
city
capital
projects.
C
The
percent
for
art
program
engages
other
city
agencies,
like
our
colleagues
in
transportation
and
public
works
and
municipal
partners
on
best
public
art
practices
and
demonstrates
the
lasting
value
of
high
quality
public
art
across
the
city,
and
on
this
slide
you
can
see
some
artworks
that
were
commissioned
and
installed
in
the
past
year.
These
were
all
percent
for
art,
funded
projects
and
there's
a
lot
of
text
on
the
bottom,
but
I'll
just
go
through
it
really
quickly.
C
Originally,
there
was
a
program
called
pop-up
dudley
connections
and
nubian
square
in
2014,
followed
in
2017
by
quincy
corridor
grove
hall
and
that
project
included,
chanel,
thurville's
affirmation,
station,
rob,
gibbs
breed
life
and
other
beloved
murals,
and
over
time
that
was
officially.
Those
programs
were
officially
organized
into
the
transformative
public
art
program.
C
C
F
C
C
This
year's
paint
box
application
has
closed
and
we're
looking
forward
to
seeing
up
to
100
newly
painted
boxes
across
the
city
by
the
end
of
this
painting
season,
and
you
can
see
samples
on
the
right.
There
are
so
many
more
that
we
could
have
shared
and
it's
open
every
year
or
it
has
been
shouldn't,
make
promises,
but.
C
So
much
of
the
amazing
public
art
in
our
city
is
the
result
of
the
hard
work,
generosity
and
dedication
of
community
members
like
granola
cassandra,
cato
lewis
and
barbara
cricklow.
What
I
think
I
might
have
seen
here
tonight-
and
this
is
a
pathway
that,
while
challenging
in
some
ways,
has
led
to
the
creation
of
some
of
the
city's
most
iconic
past
works
and
future
monuments.
C
We
have
dedicated
community
groups
to
like
the
veterans
and
friends
of
gordeen
park,
to
thank
for
the
justice,
edward
o,
gordin
and
african-american
veterans
memorial,
which
you
can
see
in
process
in
the
bottom
right
of
the
screen
and
the
frederick
douglas
sculpture
committee.
For
the
frederick
douglass
memorial,
both
of
which,
which
is
shown
on
the
lower
left
hand,
side,
including
an
image
of
douglas
plaza
designed
by
sasaki,
associates.
C
G
G
So
I
first
want
to
remind
people
that
if
you
have
a
favorite
work
of
public
art,
sculpture,
painting
whatever
form
it
may
be,
please
put
it
in
the
chat.
I
know
that
both
jen
and
charlotte
have
mentioned
theirs,
but
no
one
else
has
jumped
in
yet
would
love
to
hear
more
about
the
things
that
you
enjoy
in
the
city
and
while
you're
thinking
on
that
or
putting
in
your
questions,
we
would
love
to
hear
more
about.
You
know
what
you
believe
makes
cummins
highway
and
the
neighborhoods
nearby
unique.
G
G
Well
I'll
start
just
because
stephanie
one
of
my
favorite
things
about
coming
to
matapan
more
generally
and
some
locations
that
are
not
necessarily
on
cummins
highway,
but
commons
highway
gets
me.
There
is
the
the
food
and
the
culture
of
food
in
the
neighborhood.
You
know
getting
some
patties
or
some
specialty
pastries
from
a
haitian
bakery.
G
B
G
C
E
C
And
I
can
give
everyone
a
little
context.
What
we
are
thinking
about
here,
you
know,
is
that
art
and
culture
are
so
obviously
there's
so
much
about
place
and
about
how
people
are
using
space
and
how
people
are
experiencing
the
public
realm
and
that
can
really
influence
the
kind
of
art
that
you
see.
Obviously
I
mean-
maybe
I'm
just
stating
obvious
things
here,
but
you
know
oh
stephanie.
C
G
C
H
H
I
know
that
the
artists
that
are
probably
putting
them
together,
the
majority
of
them-
are
adults,
but
just
some
of
the
playfulness
that
will
happen
with
kids
to
remind
folks
that
we
do
have
children
in
our
neighborhoods
and
being
able
to
see
them
using
spaces
differently
and
have
those
depicted
on
that,
and
then
I
can
go
ahead
and
answer
the
second
question.
I
will
continue
or
eventually
be
able
to
use
my
bicycle
on
cummins
highway.
H
Some
interpretive
kind
like
the
type
of
trees
we
have,
or
maybe
even
some
of
the
volcanic
ash.
You
know
I
have
neighbors
that
have
huge
rocks
in
their
backyard
and
I'm
always
fascinated
and
wanting
to
go
back
and
like
ask
them
about
that,
but
just
some
of
that
historical
context
as
well,
because
people
may
wonder
why.
Why
would
you
get
a
house
or
there's
a
rock
in
front
of
it?
Well
that
was
there
before
us
or
things
like
that,
some
of
that
education
stuff
pulling
out
some
of
the
information
about
the
river.
H
H
It
would
be
nice
to
maybe
have
some
mural
next
to
that,
that's
kind
of
like
fish
related
and
so
just
having
people
and
giving
them
the
opportunity
to
look
at
the
architecture
and
things
along
in
matapan
and
in
all
the
different
neighborhoods
differently
and
have
them
have
an
opportunity
to
be
able
to
like
come
up
with.
What
would
you
like
to
see
on
this
wall
kind
of
stuff?
I'm
also
fascinated
with
the
age
of
a
lot
of
the
buildings.
H
E
H
I
don't
know
if
there's
a
way
just
to
kind
of
highlight
that
that
that
doesn't
need
to
be
like
necessarily
a
mural
project,
but
just
add
a
little
bit
of
flair
to
that
I
think,
might
be
kind
of
cool,
and
even
why
not
put
that
the
fairmont
line
is
here
at
blue
lab.
You
know
make
those
spaces
really
pop,
because
in
my
conversations
with
folks
they
don't
necessarily
realize
that
that
is
an
entrance
and
especially
the
one
on
cummins
highway,
since
the
stop
is
called
ave.
H
I
I
But
my
concern
is
to
maintain
them
so
that
we
keep
these
these
beautiful
pieces
of
art
for
some
longevity,
not
so
that
they
disappear.
So
is
there
any
maintenance?
I
mean
management
to
maintain
them,
so
you
know
like,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
somebody
I
don't
know
who
did
the
mural,
but
is
that
the
roxbury
center
for
the
performing
arts
right
on
blue
hill
avenue,
there's
another
mural
there
and
periodically
it
has
to
be
redone
right.
C
So
it
depends
in
part
on
how
the
project
is
commissioned.
The
city
does
have
some
conservation
and
maintenance
funding
in
the
past
before
my
time
with
the
office.
I
know
that
we
helped
fund
refresh
of
oh,
my
gosh.
It's
right
in
nubian
square.
There's
a
mural
right
faces.
I
believe
the
title
is
faced
of
dudley
back
from
the
previous
name,
so
sometimes
murals
do
need
to
be
refreshed.
It's
a
little
bit
complicated
when
they're
on
private
property
a
lot
of
times
that's
up
to
the
property
owner
to
the
artist.
C
If
they
want
to
do
it,
I
will
say
that
materials
now
are
better.
I
am
no
expert,
but
there
are,
you
know
better
paints
and
uv
protectants,
and
so
the
longevity
is
generally
better
with
the
newer
murals
than
with
some
of
the
the
older
murals
and
people
understand
surfaces
more.
You
know
it
depends
on
prep
those
types
of
things.
C
We
have
conservation
and
maintenance
funds,
not
a
lot,
but
we
do
have
some.
We
actually
just
conserved
three
sculptures
for
actually
in
the
past
week,
which
is
something
we
hadn't
been
able
to
do
for
a
long
time.
We
didn't
have
set
aside
funding
for
maintenance
and
conservation
of
artworks,
so
we're
slowly
working
through
the
collection.
We
had
a
collection
assessment
done
on
all
the
sculptures
in
the
collection
over
the
past
year
in
terms
of
murals.
It's
a
little
bit
different.
C
We
wouldn't
go
with
the
same
conservation
group,
but
we
can
hire
artists
to
do
refreshes,
but
it
does
depend
on
if
it's
city
property,
you
know.
Typically,
the
city
is
not
going
to
necessarily
be
able
to
fund
things
on
private
property
and
there's
a
lot
of
murals
out
there.
So
there
is
with
the
works.
We
commission,
we
have
an
the
bac,
the
boston
art
commission
maintains
care
of
any
works
in
our
collection,
and
that
includes
murals
that
we've
commissioned.
I
C
C
I
I
C
Yeah
and
I'm
just
seeing
in
the
in
the
chat
that
it
is
part,
it
was
part
of
the
mayor's
mural
crew,
potentially,
which
is
a
program
that
is
housed
in
parks,
and
they
have
done.
Thank
you
so
much
stephanie
for
adding
the
or
is
it
jen
stephanie.
Sorry,
I
have
too
many
windows
open
for
adding
the
information
about
the
mural
crew,
about
the
refresh
of
faces
of
dudley,
and
that
was
all
mural
crew
work,
which
is
a
city
program
and
they
paint
a
lot
of
private
property
through
agreements
with
the
property
owners.
B
I
Yeah
and
there's
one
on
the
side
on
the
right
side
of
the
building
with
a
ballet
dancer,
but
I'm
also
talking
about
the
one.
That's
further
down
near
grove
hall,
there's
one
down
near
grove
hall
and
I've
seen
it
used
quite
a
few
times
as
a
representation
of
boston
and
again
like
I
said
these
are
so.
I
That
they're
there
for
the
history
and
people
drive
through
the
neighborhood.
Some
some
people
drive
through
the
neighborhoods
just
to
see
the
artwork
and
again
yeah.
We
don't
want
to
lose
these,
and
hopefully
the
city
will
come
up
with
some
sort
of
budget
that
will
be
able
to
maintain
these
and
it
like
again,
like
I
said:
if
we
don't
own
any,
the
city
doesn't
own
anything
on
cummins
highway.
I
C
I
hope
so
too,
and
marlin
is
a
is
that
progress
that
project
is
still
in
process,
he's
an
amazing
artist
and
just
a
real
pleasure
to
work
with,
and
I
want
to
apologize
barbara.
I
couldn't
see
anyone
except
for
myself,
jen
and
jeff,
so
I
couldn't
see
who
I
was
talking
to
so
sorry
about
that.
I
also
want
to
say:
kenya,
I
think,
has
some
more
information.
She
has
her
hand
up.
I
don't
know
if
she
wanted
to
kenya.
If
you
want
to
talk
about
those
murals.
C
E
Good,
hey
guys,
that
won't
be
long.
No,
I
was
going
to
say
that
roxbury
center
for
the
performing
arts
was
done
several
years
ago,
and
I
did
put
this
in
the
chat,
but
heidi
short
from
the
mayor's
mural
crew
was
hugely
instrumental
in
getting
that
mural
completely
and
done
on
both
sides,
the
front
and
the
facade.
So
that
was
done
by
way
of
her,
and
I
remember,
miss
andrea
major
who's,
the
owner
instructor,
all
the
great
things
in
this
community
at
the
roxbury
center
for
performing
art.
E
She
wanted
that,
and
so
she
was
completely
appreciative
and
she
loves
it
and,
as
far
as
like
all
the
other
murals
that
we've
done
as
far
as
at
the
bpda,
the
whole
thing
is
getting
permission.
It
doesn't
have
to
be
a
city-owned
property
or
even
a
state-owned
property
for
there
to
be
a
girl
growing
up.
You
have
to
just
get
the
submission
from
the
property
owner.
Who
really
wants
it
to
get
it
done.
E
We've
done
that
with
the
carter
posted
management
square
on
both
sides,
we've
done
it
at
the
hazelton
hazelton
street,
the
teen
center
over
there
and
we're
trying
to
get
another
one
done
and
property
owners
are
excited.
Some
of
them
actually
really
want
it,
because
it
just
kind
of
boosts
the
visibility
of
their
building.
It
kind
of
makes
things
look
a
lot
better.
You
know
I
mean
that
whole
thing,
so
it
can't
be
done.
It's
just
a
bit
of
a
process.
C
Yeah
and
kenya,
I
think
so
much
of
it
has
to
do
with
the
property
owner
feeling
you
know
supported,
like
people
really
want
to
see
this
as
well.
We
we
are
actually
working
with
a
property
owner
in
alston
to
do
a
mural
about
the
life
and
legacy
of
rita
hester
and
that's
being
installed
this
week
and
that's
on
private
property
as
well,
but
it
did
take
us
a
little
bit
to
to
get
a
property
owner
agreement
in
place
and
once
they
felt
like
this
was
something
the
community
really
wanted.
C
A
G
Just
multitasking
over
here
yeah
I
mean,
I
will
say
I
think
you
know
from
the
project
team
side.
We're
just
really
excited
that
you're
here,
because-
and
this
has
been
something
that
people
have
brought
up
a
number
of
times
and
there's
been
a
lot
of
interest
in
you
know
how
can
more
artists
be
engaged
and
creating
art
for
the
community.
C
C
We
have
links
in
the
presentation
when
we
go
back
to
that
as
well,
and
it's
really
a
great
way
for
artists
to
learn
about
new
opportunities,
including
all
of
these
different
commissioning
opportunities.
So
everything
gets
posted
in
those
newsletters
and
follow
us
on
all
of
the
different
social
media
places.
You
know
we
can
always
do
more
outreach,
but
we
also
need
artists
to
sign
up
so
that
we
can
send
them
things
and
we're
so
interested
in
and
working
with
our
local
arts
community.
C
C
All
right,
so
there
we
are
so
you
can
see.
We've
got
an
arts
in
the
city
newsletter,
which
is
general
arts,
news,
arts
events
and
then
the
artist
resource
desk
newsletter.
I
mentioned
the
artist
resource
desk
before
that
is
specifically
for
artists.
It
gives
lots
of
updates
space
artist,
space
artist,
housing
all
different
grant
opportunities
jobs.
C
Any
calls
that
we
put
out
through
our
office
as
well
as
calls
that
come
out
through
other
organizations.
You
know
non-profits
and
all
sorts
of
opportunities.
So
I
really
encourage
artists
in
particular
to
sign
up
for
that
newsletter,
because
it
will
provide
a
lot
of
different
information
and
opportunities
to
them.
A
And
if
it's
okay,
if
I
jump
into
I
just
wanted
to
share,
I
was
really
impressed
hearing
a
little
more
about
the
paint
box
program
and
how
it
was
almost
like.
Has
a
secret
agenda
like
trying
to
get
more
artists
to
be
working
with
the
city
and
like
have
a
kind
of
easier
commission
to
start
with
and
then
kind
of
helping
artists
learn
the
ropes
of
partnering.
So
I
thought
that
was
really
really
cool,
that
being
your
department.
C
That's
it's
really
an
emerging
artist
program
to
give
them
a
little
taste
of
what
it
is
to
be
working
out
in
the
public
realm
to
be
working
on
an
object
and
thinking
about
site
specificity,
which
is
really
you
know
what
neighborhood
you're
in
and
what
you're
proposing
and
how
does
it
relate,
and
it's
a
really
fun
program
for
that
and
that
jen,
you
reminded
me
that
I
think
it
was
vivian
mentioned
something
that
I
thought
was
so
interesting,
which
is
depicting
more
children
and
child-like
themes.
I
think
that's
really
great.
C
We
we
can't
have
kids
actually
involved
in
the
painting
of
the
boxes,
because
it's
not
the
safest
thing,
especially
for
children,
but
to
to
think
about
the
content
and
and
how
that
could
be.
How
that
could
be
used
to
reflect
more
about
kids
is
really
interesting
yeah.
So
thank
you
vivian
for
that
comment.
A
I
also
appreciated
vivid's
comment
about
the
geologic
history,
because
I
know
in
the
project
design
we're
having
we're
having
to
figure
out
where
the
ledge
is
exactly
because
it
relates
to
how
we
the
different
types
like
what
could
grow,
depending
on
how
deep
the
rock
is.
So
anyway,
these
things
are
all
kind
of
interconnected,
and
I
think
art
has
this
way
of
helping
us
see
that
so.
C
C
C
So
hopefully,
at
some
point
we
will.
We
will
see
that
iconic
work
in
some
form
again.
I
know
that
he
has
done
some
small
reproductions
that
were
available.
It
was
about
a
year
and
a
half
ago.
I
don't
know
if
he's
done
any
more,
but
I
would
encourage
you
all
to
support
his
work
as
well
as
deem
five
and
he's
another
great
local
artist.
C
I
see
vivian's
comment
about
giving
children
young
people
the
opportunity
to
meet
with
the
artists
you
know
through.
We
encourage.
Actually
we
require
all
of
the
artists
we
commission
to
do
community
engagement
and
since
a
lot
of
them
are
working
in
libraries
in
bcyf's
and
other
in
schools.
We're
doing
you
know
a
number
of
schools
projects,
so
we've
had
some
really
wonderful
engagements
with
kids
of
all
ages
over
the
past
year,
I'm
just
in
particular
thinking
about
a
workshop
with.
C
G
C
C
At
this
point
and
in
the
immediate
future
we
don't
have
a
plan
for
a
project,
we're
here
to
understand
what
the
community
is
looking
for,
and
that's
why
I
was
asking
the
questions
about
how
you
envision
the
cultural
space.
How
people
in
you
know
imagine
themselves
using
the
this
civic
space
when
it's
completed
and
what
makes
the
highway
and
surrounding
neighborhoods
unique
and
just
understanding
more
from
you
all
what
you're
looking
for
so
there's
there's
no
artist
chosen.
C
We're
many
many
would
be
many
steps
from
from
anything
like
that.
This
is
more
me,
sharing
information
about
my
office,
all
of
our
programs
and
then
hearing
from
you
about
this
this
project,
so
that
we
can
understand
better
if
at
some
point
in
the
future,
when
we
have
capacity,
if
there
were
a
possibility
of
doing
public
art
and
what
that
would
look
like
so.
C
A
D
A
A
A
G
Yeah
thanks
jen,
if
folks
are
still
coming
with
questions,
feel
free
to
put
them
in
the
chat.
We
will
definitely
come
back
to
that,
so
just
very
quickly
want
to
go
through
where
we
are
in
the
project
and
what
to
expect
next,
as
well
as
a
recap
of
what
we
have
done
so
again.
Our
goal
is
to
transform
cummins
highway
into
a
tree-lined
neighborhood
street
that
is
safer
for
families,
connects
residents
to
the
city's
network
of
open
spaces
and
makes
it
easy
for
everyone,
including
our
elders,
to
cross
the
street.
G
G
Sort
of
wrapping
up
our
year
of
monthly
or
almost
monthly
topical
meetings.
So
we
started
last
june,
and
here
we
are
this
june
talking
about
public
art
and
we
are
still
working
on
the
design
for
cummins
highway.
So
all
of
the
feedback
that
we
get
through
this
forum,
as
well
as
when
we're
out
on
the
street
talking
to
folks
when
we're
at
the
farmers
market
or
on
the
street
corner
emails
phone
calls,
everything
gets
logged
and
considered
as
we
continue
moving
forward
with
the
final
design
for
the
project.
G
So
we
kicked
off
these
meetings
with
a
discussion
about
black
americans
and
how
their
mobility
has
been
limited
in
the
us,
through
police
policies
and
polity.
The
person
who
led
that
discussion
was
charles
t
brown.
You
can
find
out
more
information
about
his
work
and
research
in
this
area
at
arrested,
arrestedmobility.com.
G
G
G
G
In
may.
We
talked
about
disabilities.
The
disabilities
commission
shared
how
they
work
across
all
kinds
of
different
agencies
and
departments
in
the
city
to
design
for
systemic
accessibility,
and
we
also
talked
specifically
about
some
of
the
design
details
that
we
work
on
when
we
do
street
redesign
projects
like
comments
highway,
and
you
have
plenty
of
opportunities
to
talk
to
us
this
summer.
So
jen
has
been
arranging
a
series
of
events
for
everyone
to
come
chat
with
us.
G
So
I
know
jeff
was
out
on
june
10th
talking
to
folks,
we
will
be
at
the
farmers
market
about
once
a
month,
so
we
will
be
sharing
information
about
that
in
your
mailbox
in
your
email
inbox,
on
the
posters
along
the
corridor
anywhere
else
where
you
want
us
to
tell
people
to
come
talk
to
us.
So
the
next
time
that
you
can
talk
with
us
in
person
will
be
saturday
july
9th.
We
will
be
at
the
farmers
market,
which
runs
from
10
to
1
pm.
A
All
right
so
a
lot
going
on,
as
you
all
know,
in
the
summer
time
in
boston,
confronted
to
start
off
with
some
events
and
happenings
related
to
art.
If
the
sarah's
presentation
about
public
art
in
boston
interested
you,
you
could
attend
the
boston
art
commission
meeting,
there's
one
coming
up
on
next
tuesday.
The
28th.
A
The
arts
and
culture
office
is
also
hiring
for
a
couple
positions
which
is
really
exciting.
I
know
they
are
very
excited
to
have
more
folks
to
be
able
to
have
more
capacity
to
do
more
of
this
excellent
work,
they're
hiring
a
director
of
grants
and
programs
who
will
be
responsible
for
developing
this
strategy,
aligning
with
the
cult,
city's
cultural
plan
and
building
relationships
with
the
arts
and
culture
sector
and
community
groups.
So
a
lot
of
what
we've
all
been
talking
about
today.
A
A
A
And
our
team
in
the
transportation
department
runs
a
learn
to
bike
series
for
women.
It
was
recently,
I
think,
front
page
in
the
globe.
It's
very
exciting.
We
have
one
of
those
events
coming
up
this
week
on
thursday
and
then
they
run
throughout
the
summer
and
fall
and
we
teach
some
basic
skills.
We
teach
about
writing
on
the
street,
so
we
vivienne
ortiz,
who
you've
heard
from
earlier,
is
one
of
our
star
instructors
and,
although
hopefully.
A
A
There's
a
lot
of
important
changes
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
you
see
them
and
are
able
to
provide
some
feedback
and
there's
more
about
it
about
the
opportunities
on
the
next
slide.
So
there's
they
actually
have
this
interactive
map.
Where
you
can
see
all
the
proposed
changes
and
kind
of
even
compare
your
trips
as
they
are
today
with
how
they
would
be
in
the
proposed
plan,
so
definitely
check
that
out
and
then
in
the
next
slide.
A
There
are
okay.
So
this
is
the
first
first.
This
is
kind
of
a
little
screenshot
of
showing
some
of
the
proposed
changes
in
matapan,
and
then
the
mbta
has
a
number
of
different
opportunities
for
folks
to
provide
feedback,
including
some
in-person
meetings
in
the
in
july,
some
open
houses
in
in
june
and
july,
and
then
a
virtual
meeting
as
well
lots
of
opportunities.
There
really
important.
A
A
A
G
Ribbon
cutting
will
be
during
the
mayor's
coffee
hour,
which
is
planned
for
thursday
june
30th
at
9
30
a.m
and
the
walker
playground
is
at
515
norfolk.
If
you
forgot
or
you've
never
been
so
definitely
stop
by.
Look
at
the
new
beautiful
playground
that
they
built
over
the
last
year
so
bring
your
family
get
some
free
treats.
A
A
A
And
then
here
are
some
ways
you
can
stay
in
touch
both
with
the
city's
office
of
arts
and
culture
and
with
the
cummins
highway
project
team.
So
with
that,
thank
you
again
for
joining
us
tonight.
I
was
excited
to
see
everyone
and
to
talk
about
art.
Thank
you
so
much
sarah
for
joining
us
and
sharing
about
all
the
work
that
you
and
your
department
do.
