The
introduction,
but
on
your
screen,
you
will
see
a
few
helpful
notes
for
attending
a
webex
event.
So
if
you're
not
familiar
with
webex,
feel
free
to
listen
to
the
intro
and
then
read
over
these
and
then
we
will
turn
it
over
to
the
team
so
again
good
evening,
my
name
is
patrick
fandell
from
the
mayor's
office
neighborhood
service
services.
This
is
an
application
by
the
heritage
club
for
a
recreational
cannabis
establishment
to
be
operated
at
the
address
of
116
cambridge
street
boston
massachusetts.
A
We
are
joined
tonight
this
evening
by
the
applicant
our
project
team.
Before
we
start,
I
would
like
to
go
over
my
expectations
for
tonight's
meeting.
I've
participated
in
multiple
meetings
of
this
kind,
so
I
know
that
they
can
be
pretty
sensitive.
I
cover
dorchester
for
the
mayor's
office,
but
I'm
sure
it's
just
as
passionate
in
charlestown.
So
I'm
sure
all
of
you
will
be
very
engaged
in
this.
A
A
There's
no
right
or
wrong
opinion
we're
just
here
tonight
to
try
to
collect
as
many
comments
and
questions
for
this
proposal
as
possible.
I'm
really
not
here
to
debate
or
get
into
arguments
about
state
legislation
surrounding
marijuana.
I
know
folks
have
many
opinions
on
that,
and
this
is
just
to
discuss
the
merits
of
this
proposal
and
the
application
for
this
address.
A
When
we
get
to
comments,
questions
and
concerns,
I
ask
that
they
be
directed
toward
the
applicant
or
myself
only
you're,
more
than
welcome
to
engage
your
neighbors
outside
of
this
meeting
and
I'm
happy
to
have
extended
conversations
with
you
outside
of
this
meeting
as
well.
But
please
direct
all
questions
to
myself
or
the
applicant.
A
The
applicant
will
answer
all
questions
related
to
this
proposal
to
the
best
of
their
ability,
and
I
will
answer
any
questions
specific
to
the
city
process.
We're
also
joined
by
some
folks
from
the
office
of
economic
development
and
boston
transportation.
To
answer
any
questions
specific
to
those
departments,
if
I'm
unable
to
or
the
applicant
is
unable
to
answer
any
questions
tonight,
we
will
happily
get
back
to
you.
After
the
meeting
with
the
information
you
requested,
there
will
be
an
open
comment
period
for
the
duration
of
this
application.
A
A
We
will
go
through
the
presentation.
It
should
take
no
more
than
about
20
minutes
and
then
there'll
be
plenty
of
time
to
ask
questions
after
that
in
the
duration
of
the
presentation.
If
you
have
a
comment,
feel
free
to
use
like
utilize,
the
chat
at
the
bottom
of
the
screen,
I'm
now
going
to
hand
it
over
to
the
applicants
to
get
started
on
the
presentation.
B
Great
nikki,
if
you
want
to
share
your
screen
fantastic
good
evening,
everybody,
my
name
is
phil
silverman,
I'm
from
the
law
firm
of
vicente
ceterberg
and
I'm
here
for
the
heritage
club.
This
is
a
community
outreach
meeting
regarding
heritage,
club's
intent
to
locate
a
marijuana
retail
establishment
at
116
cambridge
street.
The
community
outreach
meeting
is
one
of
the
initial
steps
in
the
state
licensing
process.
It's
also
part
of
the
local
boston
licensing
process.
B
We
had
previously
held
a
community
outreach
meeting,
but
the
boston
cannabis
board
when
we
were
meeting
with
them,
suggested
that
we
do
some
additional
work
on
this
project.
They
wanted
us
to
get
a
traffic
study
done
on
the
project
and
also
to
engage
in
some
further
dialogue
and
that's
why
we're
having
this
additional
meeting
tonight
and
we're
happy
to
talk
to
you
about
the
project
tonight
and
going
forward
happy
to
have
you
reach
out
and
discuss
anything
that
we
don't
answer
for
you
tonight
next
slide.
Please.
B
She
views
this
as
a
great
opportunity
for
herself
and
is
cognizant
of
the
the
benefits
of
being
a
social
equity
applicant
and
also
wants
to
give
back
to
this
neighborhood
to
this
community
in
multiple
ways
as
we're
going
to
discuss,
and
so
it's
really
our
hope
that
you
know
we
can
work
with
all
of
you
to
make
this
business
fit
seamlessly
into
the
neighborhood
next
slide.
Nikki
thanks
nikki,
I'm
going
to
let
nikki
introduce
herself
she's,
the
founder
and
owner
of
the
company,
so
nikki.
B
B
C
About
that
guys,
I'm
used
to
zoom
so
yeah
my
name
is
nikki.
My
full
name
is
adonika,
as
you
see
there
born
and
raised
in
boston,
and
I
got
into
cannabis
because
I
realized
there's
a
lot
not
just
giving
back
to
the
community,
but
in
the
history
of
the
war
on
drugs
and
how
we
got
here.
That's
what
interested
me
in
this
space.
C
I
joined
the
social
equity
program
about
a
year
and
a
half
and
ago
and
took
six
months
of
classes.
I
have
been
living
in
boston
for
the
first
few
years
of
my
life
and
I'm
now
back
in
dorchester.
I
am
part
of
bni
legacy,
which
is
out
of
knights
of
columbus
charlestown.
Once
we're
back
in
person
we'll
be
meeting
there
again
and
we
meet
every
wednesday
morning,
just
helping
local
businesses
grow
and
network
and
yeah.
I'm
really
excited
to
be
applying,
and
thank
you
guys
for
coming
out.
B
Great,
so,
with
these
types
of
companies,
what
you
try
to
do
is
put
together
sort
of
a
wide
variety
of
advisors
and
consultants
on
some
level.
It's
not
that
complicated
a
business
on
a
certain
level.
This
is
really
a
convenience
store.
It's
just
a
highly
regulated
convenience
store
with
significant
security.
So,
but
we've
we've
gone
out-
and
we've
really,
you
know,
met
with
a
number
of
people.
B
B
And
numerous
strategic
partners
and
consultants
again,
we've
got
people
that
are
used
to
designing
these
retails.
We
have
a
delivery
company
that
eventually
will
be
working
with
here.
There's
there's,
as
I
said
you
can
see
by
the
list
here
century
bank.
Does
the
banking
here
and
sophisticated
you
know:
insurance,
legal
counsel,
etc.
I
will
just
take
a
minute
to
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
myself
and
how
how
we're
involved
with
this.
B
My
firm
is
called
vicente
cedarburg
and
we
specialize
in
regulatory
compliance,
and
we
believe
that
when
the
voters
approved
adult
use
legalization
of
marijuana,
they
also
voted
for
a
system
that
demanded
steadfast
adherence
to
the
laws
and
regulations
of
both
the
state
and
local
level
and
that's
what
we
work
with
our
clients
to
ensure.
So
we
meet
with
the
city
councillors
and
the
planning
and
the
zoning
boards
and
the
health
commissioners
and
the
neighbors
and
the
other
stakeholders
to
craft
operational
procedures
that
address
these
local
concerns
and
we
help
client
clients
implement
these
procedures.
B
We
even
do
things
like
conduct,
surprise
inspections,
to
make
sure
that
they're
following
those
procedures,
even
when
we're
not
there
and
our
clients
and
the
states
and
the
local
communities
they
operate
in,
have
been
very
satisfied
with
our
work.
So
far
we
have
offices
in
every
state,
that's
legalized,
marijuana
in
the
country
and
our
boston
office,
where
I
work
has
experience
working
with
over
a
hundred
cities
and
towns
in
massachusetts
with
over
100
clients
in
massachusetts.
B
B
Why
heritage
really,
as
I
mentioned
before,
a
lot
of
of
what
this
is
about-
you
know
the
social
equity
piece
that
that
nikki
is
a
part
of
trying
to
give
people
some
opportunities
here.
Because
of
that,
and
because
of
that
background
I
think
it's
very
important
for
nikki
to
have
a
diverse
and
inclusive
business,
again
owned
and
operated
by
somebody
locally
from
boston
and
and
we're
community
focused.
In
particular,
I
wanted
to
talk
to
you
about
the
item.
B
E
educational
offerings,
one
of
the
things
that
we
do,
and
this
is
really
important
for
any
cannabis
company,
especially
because
of
the
neighbors
that
we
have
around.
Is
we
educate
these
consumers
when
they
come
in
when
our
customers
come
in
the
first
thing
they
do
is
we
give
them
information
that
basically
says
look.
B
This
is
a
privilege
to
be
able
to
be
in
a
facility
like
this,
so
you
don't
have
to
purchase
this
product
on
the
black
market
anymore,
but
with
that
comes
a
certain
amount
of
responsibility,
so
you
cannot
go
out
and
use
this
product
on
site.
You
just
can't
do
that.
You
can't
use
it
in
public
in
the
neighborhood
and
we
let
them
know
if
we
see
you
do
that,
we
will
be
reporting
you
to
the
local
authorities.
Okay,
that
is
grounds
at
the
state
level
for
losing
our
license.
B
If
we
allow
people
to
do
that,
and
so
we're
very
clear
right
up
front
with
customers,
these
are
the
rules
same
thing
about
driving
under
the
influence
we're
very
clear
about
these
things.
Right
from
the
outcome.
We
don't
want
anybody
to
say
that
they
just
didn't
understand
this.
We
make
it
clear
right
up
front.
B
There
was
one
in
brookline
neta
that
you
know
it
was
basically
a
bit
of
a
traffic
problem,
because
that
was
the
only
dispensary
for
a
number
of
years.
That's
basically
been
serving
the
entirety
of
boston
and
brookline,
so
you
can
imagine
with
about
a
million
people
with
one
facility,
there's
going
to
be
issues
that
is
about
to
go
away,
though.
B
Okay,
we
are
going
to
see
that
by
the
time
this
facility
opens
up,
you'll
probably
have
200
retailers
in
massachusetts,
and
so
any
of
the
issues
surrounding
traffic
and
such
we
believe
that's
going
to
go
away.
That's
what
we've
seen
in
other
places,
colorado,
arizona,
washington
where
legalization
has
come,
and
the
numbers
have
meant
that
really
this
is
going
to
be
just
like
any
other
business.
No,
not
all
that
different
from
what
you
might
see
around
a
convenience
store
a
coffee
shop,
a
liquor
store
that
sort
of
thing
next
slide.
Please.
B
Again,
diversity
and
inclusion
being
so
important
to
nikki.
You
know
we're
going
to
be
partnering
with
vendors
from
diverse
backgrounds,
we're
going
to
promise
to
purchase
30
percent
of
products
from
other
economic
empowerment
and
social
equity,
vendors
and
and
30
from
women-owned
vendors
again,
the
idea
is,
is
to
give
back
and
continue
to
promote
the
diversity,
inclusion
that
it's
so
essential
to
this
company
next
slide.
Nikki.
B
B
One
thing
that
we're
looking
to
do
is
is
create
what
we
call
the
lost
village
community
trust
and
what
we're
hoping
to
find
is
some
people
from
the
community
who
will
sit
on
a
board
with
people
from
the
company,
and
we
will
donate
three
percent
of
annual
net
profits
to
this
entity
and
that
board
will
decide
what
those
funds
can
be
used
for
in
the
community.
So
again,
if,
if
there's
you
know
issues
in
the
community
that
are
of
concern,
I
I
know
you
know.
B
Having
heard
some
of
the
outreach,
that's
been
done
before
a
variety
of
issues,
we're
going
to
make
funds
available
to
address
those
types
of
issues.
Okay,
we
want
to
have
a
positive
impact
on
those
issues
and
that's
the
idea
behind
the
lost
village
community
trust.
Similarly,
one
of
the
other
programs
we're
going
to
be
doing
what
we
call
the
boston
heritage
fund.
It's
going
to
be
a
home
buying
assistance
program
idea
is
to
cover
the
closing
costs
for
10
residents,
who
are
new
home
buyers.
B
We
we
do
prefer
to
have
charlestown
residents,
that's
that
is
a
preference
in
hiring.
We
think
it's
important
again
being
the
host
community,
but
it
also
we
find
that
people
in
the
neighborhood
are
the
best
types
of
employees
you
can
have,
because
they
know
the
neighborhood.
They
know
the
community
and
they're
just
particularly
adept
at
serving
the
neighborhood
very
well,
but
we're
also
looking
to
have
you
know:
51
women
employed
51
people
of
color,
we're
really
looking
for
diverse
backgrounds,
and
these
are
good
jobs.
B
They
they
provide
living
wages,
dollars
and
cents
an
hour,
health
insurance
and
other
types
of
benefits.
Next
slide.
Please
community
support,
so
we've
been
working
hard
to
try
to
reach
out
to
the
community.
You
know:
we've
had
various
people
in
local
government
who
have
provided
support.
Various
residents,
who've
surpri
provided
letters
of
support.
B
B
So
here's
the
proposed
site,
116
cambridge
street,
again,
it's
very
close
to
public
transit.
We'll
talk
about
that.
There
is
dedicated
customer
parking,
11
spaces
and
it's
a
standalone
building
which
is
good
for
security.
You
don't
have
another
tenant
that
that
sort
of
diverts
attention
from
from
operation.
So
that's
that's
all
a
positive
next
slide.
Please.
B
B
Again
this
is
this
is
an
idea
of
what
the
building
is
going
to
look
like
it's
very
discreet,
we're
not.
This
is
not
supposed
to
have
neon
signs
flashing
signs,
people
that
want
to
use,
you
know
want
to
buy
cannabis
at
this
facility.
They
tend
to
know
about
this
online
leafly
weed
maps.
These
types
of
sites
are
where
they
learn
about.
B
B
B
So
I'll
touch
on
security.
Just
to
give
you
a
sense
of
why
these
places
are
so
safe,
just
the
degree
of
security.
So
the
first
thing
I'll
explain
to
you.
This
is,
what's
called
a
limited
access
facility.
What
that
means
is
you
cannot
just
walk
into
this
facility.
You,
for
example,
you
may
have
a
liquor
store
down
the
street
or
a
pharmacy.
You
can
walk
into
either
of
those
facilities.
Nobody
says
a
word
to
you.
That
is
not
the
case
here
before
you
even
set
foot
in
this
building.
B
You
have
to
hold
an
id
up
that
is
checked
and
if
you're
not
21
years
old,
you
will
not
be
allowed
in
the
facility.
If
you
are
an
individual
with
a
child,
you
may
be
21,
but
the
child,
isn't.
You
will
not
be
allowed
in
this
facility.
Nobody
21
years
of
age
and
under
or
under
21,
is
allowed
in
the
facility.
You
show
that
id
you
are
buzzed
in
through
a
door
into
a
vestibule.
You
cannot
go
further
into
that
facility
until
you
show
the
id
a
second
time
to
security
personnel.
B
The
security
personnel
will
check
that
again,
assuming
you're
21
years
of
age
or
older.
You
will
be
buzzed
into
the
sales
area
and
once
in
there
you
will
be
met
by
a
sales
agent
who
will
process
your
order.
You
will
have
to
show
that
id
a
third
time
to
the
sales
agent.
The
state
is
insistent
on
ensuring
that
this
is
only
open
to
people
21
years
of
age
or
older.
I
will
also
tell
you
that
all
employees
are
badged
and
the
even
access
within
the
facility
is
limited.
B
If
you
are,
for
example,
part
of
the
janitorial
crew
that
works
at
this
facility,
you
will
not
have
access,
for
example,
to
the
product
vault,
where
it's
all
stored
at
night.
There's
no
need
for
you
to
have
access.
This
is
all
done
by
key
cards,
so
certain
parts
of
the
facility
will
be
off
limits
to
most
of
the
employees,
because
there's
just
no
need
to
have
them
there,
but
it's
very
well
regulated
in
that
regard
as
a
limited
access
facility.
B
Similarly,
you've
probably
heard
there
are
cameras
all
over
this
facility
they're
on
the
exterior.
We
have
cameras
to
give
us
a
360
degree
view
all
around
the
facility,
so
we
can
see
everybody
that's
coming
or
going.
I
will
tell
you
I
mentioned
brookline
before
there
was
a
local
rash
of
burglaries
that
was
solved
because
the
cameras,
the
police,
accessed
the
cameras
used
by
the
cannabis
establishment
there
and
they
figured
out
who
was
doing
this.
So
we
have
that
camera
access.
We
can
see
everything
on
the
exterior
on
the
interior.
B
Every
door
has
a
camera
on
it.
Every
window
has
a
camera
on
it
and
every
room
where
cannabis
is
handled
or
stored
also
has
a
camera
on
it.
There's
also
a
sophisticated
alarm
system.
You've
got
a
primary
alarm
notification
if
that
were
somehow
to
become
compromised,
whether
for
power
outage
or
somebody
with
ill
intent
tried
to
do
something
to
access
the
building
and
disable
that
primary
alarm
notification
system
there's
a
backup
system
as
well.
That
goes
to
a
different
alarm
monitoring
company.
B
The
next
thing
is
with
there's:
what's
called
a
seed
to
sale,
inventory
tracking
system,
every
piece
of
inventory
that
comes
into
this
building,
the
package
is
barcoded
when
it
gets
in
and
it's
weighed
and
so
there's
a
weight
taken
down,
and
that
happens
periodically
that
you're
constantly
weighing
the
inventory
every
couple
of
days
every
week,
a
couple
of
times
a
month
and
if
something
that,
for
example,
weighed
an
ounce
last
week
next
week
only
weighs
a
half
an
ounce.
The
inventory
system
will
actually
alert
you
to
that
and
then
what
happens?
B
Is
we
go
back
through
the
camera,
video
footage
which
we
keep
for
90
days
and
we
find
out
who
is
responsible
for
taking
that
marijuana
when
we
find
that
out?
That
person
is
terminated
as
an
employee
massachusetts
has
a
no
tolerance
policy
for
diversion
of
product
away
from
the
normal
sales
channels.
B
B
So
if
somebody
were
at
night
had
ill
intent
here,
they're
going
to
have
to
come
in
there's
going
to
be
monitoring,
that's
going
to
see
them
on
the
outside
of
the
building
they're
going
to
have
to
get
through
numerous
doors
again
all
while
on
camera
once
they
do
get
to
the
doors
to
the
vault.
It's
going
to
take
them
a
long
time
to
get
through
that
vault,
and
by
that
time
the
local
authorities
will
be
there.
B
It's
just
a
very,
very
difficult
place
for
somebody
who
has
ill
intent
and
is
looking
to
you
know
improperly
seized
product.
Additionally,
we
do
have
on-site
security
personnel
during
business
hours.
These
are
unarmed
security
guards
that
that
are
a
presence
within
the
facility
and
24
7
off-site
monitoring
of
the
facility
again
at
all
times,
and
every
employee
that
works
here
is
also
back
background
checked.
I
I
will
tell
you
I
I
mentioned
this
to
people.
Not
everybody
believes
it,
but
most
of
the
studies
that
are
coming
out
these
days
of.
B
What's
going
on
in
terms
of
crime
show
that
crime
goes
down
around
these
facilities?
I
don't
want
to
tell
you
that
all
of
that
research
is
definitive
at
this
point.
It's
still
a
young
industry,
but
the
the
good
news
is
that
the
trend
among
all
of
the
studies
are
being
done,
shows
that
it
does
go
down.
People
recognize
this
is
not
a
good
target
for
any
kind
of
illegal
activity.
There's
just
too
much
security.
Here
too
many
people
watching,
and
so
that's
been
a
real
positive
in
massachusetts,
especially
massachusetts
there.
B
B
Next
page,
please
yeah
security
personnel.
Again
we
do
have
people,
you
know
on-site
personnel,
and
you
should
know
that
it's
very
important
to
us
that
we
police
the
area
surrounding
this
facility.
I
know
everybody's
got
a
concern.
People
will
leave
the
facility
they'll,
take
their
product.
They'll
start
smoking
it
outside.
B
I
can
tell
you,
you
know,
with
respect
to
my
clients
that
have
opened
in
massachusetts,
we're
not
seeing
that
and
yet
we're
very
vigilant
about
it,
and
that
may
be
why
we're
not
seeing
it
we
patrol
the
grounds
we
are
watching
to
see
we,
we
are
making
sure
people
are
not
loitering
on
our
property
and
we're
watching
to
see
if
they're
going
on
neighboring
properties.
If
we
see
that
we
let
them
know
that
it's
improper
and
again,
we
will
alert
law
enforcement
about
that.
B
B
B
You
know
all
you
could
do
was
use
cash
previously,
but
massachusetts
has
been
very
fortunate
century
bank
and
a
couple
of
others
actually
have
been
willing
to
work
with
these
facilities
and
just
about
every
one
of
these
marijuana
retail
stores
actually
allows
you
to
use
a
debit
card
now,
so
we
don't
have
to
keep
as
much
cash
on
us
and
customers
don't
need
to
have
a
lot
of
cash
on
them
either.
Next
slide.
Please.
B
Security
and
diversion
protection
again
21
years
of
old
and
older
only
here,
there's
a
lot
of
protocols
to
make
sure
that
this
is
only
going
to
the
people
that
are
over
21
years
of
age.
All
sorts
of
systems-
and
I
mentioned
the
customer
education
in
particular-
already
next
slide-
please
nuisance
same
thing
again,
no
on-site
use
here,
you
won't
be
able,
when
you
approach
this
facility
to
see
any
marijuana
from
the
outside.
That's
a
state
regulation.
B
This
is
not
intended
to
be
something
for
gawkers
people
sort
of
coming
by,
let's
see
what's
going
on
there,
we
don't
want
the
facility
to
become
that
and
we
will
not
allow
people
to
loiter
on
the
property
next
slide,
please,
youth
consumption.
Similarly,
the
products
we
sell
important
that
they
all
contain
these.
These
warnings
that
it's
not
safe
for
children
contains
thc.
B
We
don't
sell
edible
products
that
look
like
cartoon
characters
or
resemble
fruit
or
or
we
don't.
Similarly,
we
don't
market
to
people
under
21
years
of
age,
and
none
of
that
is
necessary
in
order
to
run
a
successful
business.
You
can
do
this
the
right
way
you
can
sell
products
intended
for
adult
use.
B
B
I
I
would
almost
call
it
a
neighborhood
store
the
reality
of
what's
going
to
happen
in
boston,
is
there's
going
to
be
about
50
retailers
in
boston
and
each
neighborhood
is
probably
going
to
have
its
own
store,
so
you're
really
not
going
to
need
to
see
people
driving
in
from
far
away
they'll
have
other
places
where
they
can
get
this.
This
will
likely
mostly
serve
the
neighborhood.
Obviously
we
hope
we're
successful
and
have
a
unique
product
selection
that
does
draw
other
people
in,
but
I
just
think
the
reality
is.
B
B
We
don't
see
that
we're
going
to
need
that
quite
a
bit,
we're
going
to
talk.
We
actually
have
some
people
here
who
are
going
to
talk
about
traffic
and
how
many
people
you
can
expect
to
see
and
how
many
vehicles,
but,
but
you
know,
we
turn
over
our
customers
very
quickly
at
this
facility.
The
average
visit
of
a
customer
is
six
to
eight
minutes,
so
you
know
those
11
parking
spaces
can
probably
handle
in
in
an
hour
upwards
of
60
to
65
to
70
cars.
Even
you
turn
them
over
very
very
quickly.
B
Most
people
will
use
online
ordering
so
when
they
show
up
they're,
really
just
picking
up
an
order,
but
those
that
those
that
do
show
up
not
having
ordered
previously
they've,
probably
looked
at
the
website,
and
they
know
what
they
want
and
that's
why
the
visits
are
so
short
here.
So
we
are
able
to
move
people
in
move
people
out
and
utilize.
The
parking
we
have,
which
should
be
sufficient
to
the
task
next
slide,.
B
Traffic
mitigation-
again
I'm
going
to
leave
that
for
the
experts
who
are
going
to
speak
to
you,
I
think
in
a
minute,
so
you
know,
needless
to
say,
there's
a
couple
things
we
we
do
want
to
do
on
the
site
rather
than
than
having
this
have
a
google
address
of
116
cambridge
street,
meaning
people
would
drive
up
and
sort
of
stop
on
cambridge
street,
which
is
not
an
ideal
place
for
them
to
do
that.
We're
going
to
try
to
get
an
address
on
roland
street
so
that
they
actually
drive
down
roland
street.
B
B
City
mitigation
funding-
I
know
from
hearing
some
of
the
comments
when
we
were
before
the
boston
cannabis
report
from
neighbors
about
various
traffic
issues.
Again,
I
think
what
the
what
our
experts
are
going
to
tell
you
is
that
we're
not
really
going
to
add
significantly
to
that,
but
to
the
extent
that
there
are
concerns
in
the
neighborhood
about
these
types
of
traffic
issues,
it's
my
understanding,
there's
a
significant
amount
of
money
that
is
being
made
available
to
mitigate
some
of
these
problems.
B
Five
hundred
thousand
dollars
from
what
I
understand
in
total,
so
I
know
there's
going
to
be
some
new
improvements
coming
in
there.
They're
talked
about
here
that
are
supposed
to
address
these
issues
and
again
we'll
work
with
everybody
we
can
from
the
city
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
negatively
impacting
in
that
regard
next
slide.
Please.
B
Operational
details
again,
you
know
a
lot
of
pre-ordering.
I
I
will
tell
you
on
the
initial
opening,
sometimes
there's
a
curiosity
factor
when
these
places
open.
That
was
certainly
the
case
when
marijuana
was
first
legalized.
Two
years
ago,
it's
actually
calmed
down
significantly
you're,
not
seeing
crowding
at
the
openings,
but
in
an
abundance
of
caution.
On
that
initial
day
we
would,
we
would
do
a
couple
things.
We
will
have
a
police
detail,
we'll
have
parking
attendants.
B
Next
slide,
please,
and
so
that's
it
on
my
end,
but
I
do
believe
we
have
sean
kelly
from
vanessa
associates
here
and
and
they've.
The
city
of
boston,
I
think,
has
has
given
us
some
assistance
in
in
providing
for
this
parking
study,
and
so
I,
if
I
can
turn
it
over
to
sean,
so
he
can
do
a
presentation
on
the
results
of
that
study.
That
would
be
great.
D
Great
well
well,
thank
you
phil
again,
everyone
for
the
record
sean
kelly
with
the
nasa
associates
with
the
traffic
engineers
involved
with
the
project.
If
it
if
it's
over
everyone
here,
I
think
what
I'd
like
to
do
is
just
take
a
few
minutes
to
walk
you
through
our
traffic
study,
how
it
was
conducted.
D
D
D
So
I
you
know,
I
think,
we're
all
probably
at
this
point
familiar
with
the
the
project
site.
Again,
you
know
cambridge
street
just
to
orient
ourselves
runs
an
east-west
orientation
under
interstate
93,
sullivan
square
to
the
east.
The
site
is
located,
essentially
the
block.
That's
boarded
by
cambridge
to
the
north
roland
street,
to
the
south
carter
to
the
east
and
stark
to
the
west,
the
intersection
of
stark
street
with
cambridge.
D
D
Parker
street
is
one
way.
Southbound
stark
street
is
a
two-eighth
corridor,
the
unsignalized
intersection
with
carter
street
and
then
the
signalized
intersection
of
the
93
off-ramp
that
joins
the
cambridge
street
further
east
and
the
things
that
we
looked
at.
You
know
as
part
of
our
initial
data
collection,
existing
condition
assessment.
Were
you
know,
traffic
volumes
throughout
there,
the
pedestrian
and
bicycle
volumes?
We
took
a
look
at
motor
vehicle
crash
data
to
see
what
the
the
safety
history
was
in
the
area.
D
So,
just
as
a
summary,
you
know
today,
under
existing
conditions,
you
know
we
did
some
counts
to
take
a
look
at
what
the
volumes
are.
We
do
recognize
that
you
know.
Under
today's
conditions,
volumes
are
definitely
lower
than
they
would
be
typically
because
of
covet
19.
So
we
were
able
to
get
some
data
that
was
recently
collected
by
btd
and
use
that
data
to
adjust
our
volumes
accordingly,
so
they
reflect
typical
conditions,
but
under
normal
conditions,
cambridge
street
carries
about
1250
cars
an
hour
in
the
morning
peak
hour.
D
The
morning
and
evening
peak,
as
you
can
imagine,
are
the
heaviest
commuter
hours
and
then
saturday
is
often
you
know
a
heavy
commercial
peak
when
people
are
doing
their
shopping.
We
looked
at
pedestrian
bike
volumes
that
are
out
there
today.
You
know
during
peak
hours
you
get
anywhere
from
about
50
to
70
pedestrians,
an
hour
crossing
the
one
of
the
four
crosswalks
at
the
intersection
of
cambridge
and
parker
street
and
included
that
of
10
to
30
an
hour
that
actually
crossed
cambridge
street
itself
in
terms
of
bicycle
activity.
D
It's
about
10
to
20,
bicyclists
per
hour,
traveling,
predominantly
eastbound
and
westbound.
On
cambridge,
we
looked
at
motor
vehicle
crash
data
consistent
with
with
state
requirements.
We
went
out
and
looked
at
the
last
five
years
of
crash
data
for
each
of
the
intersections
in
our
study
area.
What
we
do
is
look
at
the
you
know
the
manner
of
collision,
contributing
factors
you
know
was
it
did
they
result
in
property
damage.
D
They
result
in
personal
injury
and
really
what
we
determine
is
what
the
what
we
call
the
motor
vehicle
crash
rate,
which
lets
us
determine
whether
or
not
these
locations
are
above
average
or
below
average.
With
respect
to
the
number
of
crashes,
you
would
expect
based
on
state
averages
and
the
level
of
volume
that
they
accommodate,
and
what
we
found
was
that
all
the
intersections
that
we
studied
exhibited
crash
rates
that
were
below
the
state
average
and
most
of
the
crashes
that
occurred
out
here,
resulted
in
property
damage
only
they
were
offended,
vendor
type
crashes.
D
D
There
are
also
exclusive
bike
lanes,
both
eastbound
and
westbound,
on
cambridge
streets
to
the
the
infrastructure,
and
the
thing
to
the
site
is
certainly
there
to
accommodate
customer
activity,
and
then
we
looked
at
public
transportation,
and
it's
pointed
out
there
are,
you
know,
a
number
of
bus
routes
that
run
immediately
by
the
front
of
the
site.
There's
also
the
the
orange
line
at
sullivan
square,
which
is
in
close
walking
distance.
Five
minutes
to
the
east.
D
This
here
just
again
highlighting
the
public
transportation
services
again
that
the
site
is
located
just
above
rolling
across
from
parker.
You
know
the
1886
and
91
bus
route,
the
travel
right
by
the
site
with
bus
stops
located
immediately
adjacent
to
the
site
on
cambridge
street
and
then
again,
the
walking
distance
is
sullivan
square
station.
The
orange
line
where
you
can
pick
up
another,
I
believe
it's
ten
additional
bus
routes
that
serve
that
area.
So
again,
the
site
certainly
is
well
served.
D
D
As
you
move
close
to
the
site,
you
know
you
have
unrestricted
parking,
along
with
the
frontage
right
in
front
of
the
the
front
building
and
the
tavern
to
the
right.
There's
unrestricted
parking
immediately
west
of
the
site
along
cambridge
in
this
area
and
there's
also
some
unrestricted
parking
on
the
opposite
side.
In
total
there
are,
there
are
basically
89
spaces
that
are
in
close
proximity,
and
we
made
we
made
a
point
of
ensuring
that
we
didn't
account
for
any
spaces.
D
You
know
in
the
in
the
residential
neighborhood,
even
if
these
are
residents
of
charlestown
that
come
to
do.
You
know
business
here,
ultimately
we're
we're
only
looking
at
the
parking
along
cambridge
and
then
in
the
site,
and
what
we
found
was
that
you
know
typically
the
the
available
spaces
during
the
peak
hours
that
morning
that
evening
that
saturday
range
anywhere
from
about
60
to
65
spaces,
which
is
you
know
well
in
excess
of
what
we
anticipate
is
the
peak
demands
for
the
project.
D
With
respect
to
the
project
itself,
we
ran
what
we
call
trip
generation
analyses
where
we
look
at
the
number
of
trips.
We
can
expect
and
there's
a
couple
components
to
this.
We
utilize,
what's
known
as
the
institute
of
transportation
engineers,
data,
which
is
data,
that's
been
compiled
at
existing
dispensaries
lets
us
know
how
many
trips
you
can
expect.
You
know
total
trips
and
you
know,
typically
in
the
morning
it's
it's
not
very
busy
they're
showing
about
30
the
weekday
evening.
D
It's
a
little
heavier
and
you're
in
the
66
range
and
then
saturday
midday
is
really
the
busiest
time
109..
Now
these
are
your
the
ite
vehicle
trips.
The
way,
the
way
it
works
in
the
city
of
boston
is
we
convert
those
into
person
trips?
So
we
recognize
that
typically,
a
vehicle
would
have
more
than
one
person
in
it.
D
You
apply
that
factor
and
you
get
your
person
trips
and
then
we
look
at
the
different
mode,
splits
that
you
have
you
know
in
and
there's
data
provided
for
the
city
of
charleston
neighborhood
of
charleston
for
the
city
of
boston.
That
shows
that
about
half
of
the
trips
will
be
auto
based
in
about
half
of
the
trips
occur,
either
via
transit,
bicycle
trips
or
pedestrian
trips.
So
we
sort
those
and
break
those
out,
and
then
we,
we
reapply
the
vehicle
occupancy
rate
to
take
the
automobile
perspectives
back
to
vehicle
trips.
D
And
what
we
end
up
with
is
you
know
you're
looking
at
about
16
trips
in
the
morning,
so
it's
you
know
we're
not
very
busy
in
the
morning
it's
about
a
trip.
Every
four
minutes
in
the
weekday
evening,
you're
looking
at
about
34
trips
about
17
and
17
out,
and
then
really
the
busiest
time
is
the
saturday
midday
which
which
doesn't
coincide
with
those
commuter
peaks
where
you're
looking
at
you
know
about
about
a
customer
arriving
every
other
minute
and
a
customer
leaving
every
other
minute.
D
So
you
know
that
that's
really
the
the
essence
in
terms
of
the
impact
to
vehicle
traffic
is
one
additional
car
coming
every.
You
know
minute
to
four
minutes
during
the
busiest
hours
the
impacts
to
bicycle
and
transit
trips.
In
terms
of
the
you
know,
the
increases
you
know
can
easily
be
absorbed
within
the
existing
pedestrian
and
bicycle
capacity
along
the
roadways
and
certainly
within
the
transit.
D
Given
the
number
of
uses
that
serve
the
site,
we
were
asked
by
the
city
to
do
a
comparison,
just
to
take
a
look
at
how
much
traffic
dispensary
generates
comparative
to
other
commercial
uses
that
could
potentially
occupy
the
site
and
the
two
that
we
looked
at
were
a
coffee
shop.
This
would
be
a
walk-in
coffee
shop,
say
a
starbucks
branch,
for
instance,
that
did
not
provide
a
drive-through
window
and
then
a
restaurant
would
take
out.
This
could
be
you
know
a
subway
or
any
type
of
use
like
that.
D
We
ran
the
generation
and
what
it
shows
is
that
you
know
in
the
morning
peak
hour,
as
you
can
see,
we're
a
very
low
number.
You
know
31
trips,
and
these
are
total
trips.
You
know
walking
trips
transit
bicycle
a
coffee
shop
would
do
substantially
more.
A
restaurant
would
do
almost
double
a
little
more
than
double
rather
weekday
evening
again.
The
dispensary
in
comparison
to
a
coffee
shop
or
restaurant
would
again
do
less
trips
and
then
on
the
saturday
again
the
same
story.
D
You
know
the
dispenser
does
about
109
total
the
coffee
shop
and
restaurant
would
do
more
during
both
peaks.
So
I
think
that
the
goal
here
was
to
look
at.
How
would
this
compare
to
other
uses,
and
certainly
there
are
there-
are
more
intensive
commercial
uses
that
could
occupy
this
site
than
the
dispensary
use.
D
You
may
wait
another
second
at
a
traffic
light,
but
it
wasn't
something:
that's
very
notable
the
safety
deficiencies.
Again
we
looked
at
all
the
intersections
crash
rates.
They
were
all
below
the
state
average
and
the
majority
of
them
were
fender.
Bender
type
collisions
that
didn't
result
in
personal
injuries.
We're
not
projecting
any
impact.
D
The
recommendations-
and
I
know
that
we
walked
through
some
of
these
previously,
but
just
to
touch
on
them
again.
You
know
one
is
to
start
with
the
initial
opening
plan.
Again,
you
know,
I
think
I
I
would
agree
that
the
curiosity
factor
probably
has
worn
off
a
little
bit
as
these
shops
become
more
and
more
prevalent,
but
but
during
the
opening
period
we
typically
do
request
that
you
know
there's
this
appointment.
Only
you
have
increased
staffing
to
to
direct
traffic
in
the
parking
lots
detail.
D
It
was
mentioned
as
well
just
just
to
ensure
that
you
know
when
you
do
have
that
initial
opening
rush
to
the
extent
that
it's
there,
you
can
manage
it
and
mitigate
it,
and
I
think
that
the
certainly
the
the
having
to
call
ahead
and
schedule
appointment
will
do
that,
because
it'll
ultimately
serve
to
disperse
the
traffic
evenly
and
you
won't
have
any
real
spikes
in
terms
of
arrivals
parking
management.
Again
that
was
walk
through
there
were
11
spaces.
D
The
two
to
the
rear
would
be,
for
you
know:
pickup,
drop-off
and
curbside
delivery.
The
two
closest
to
cambridge
street
would
be
for
the
delivery
service
that
they
offer
with
with
customer
parking,
rather
with
employee
parking,
and
then
the
balance
of
the
space
will
be
used
for
the
customers
that
arrive
to
do
shopping
within
the
store
and
again
there
are
12
additional
spaces
next
door.
If
needed.
D
One
of
the
main
mitigation
measures
that's
been
recommended
and
will
be
implemented,
is
a
transportation
demand
management
plan,
and
basically
this
is
a
series
of
measures
that
will
be
implemented
to
minimize
the
impacts
of
not
just
customer
traffic,
but
also
you
know,
employee
traffic
and
employee
parking.
There
will
be
a
transportation
coordinator
assigned
at
the
store
that
that
will
act
as
the
liaison
with
the
btd.
D
All
employees
that
you
know
are
hired
will
get
information
given
to
them
in
their
orientation.
Welcome
pack
and
letting
them
know
about
the
various
modes
of
transport,
whether
it
be
you
know,
the
blue
bike
stations
that
are
in
close
proximity,
the
bus
service,
the
orange
line
service,
to
alert
them
of
other
means
to
get
to
work.
D
All
employees
that
work
at
the
facility
will
be
offered
a
mbta
pass
and
a
blue
bikes
membership.
So
you
know
they
won't
even
have
to
pay
for
the
for
the
use
of
an
alternative
mode
of
transportation
to
work
they'll
if
they
choose
to
take
the
train
it'll
be
paid
for
if
they
choose
to
use
a
blue
bike
and
bike
to
work,
that's
covered
as
well,
so
that
that's
a
definite
plus
there'll
be
bicycle
racks
provided
on
site.
We
we
anticipate
approximately
10
spaces.
D
You
know
right
in
front
of
the
store
that
could
be
used
by
customers
or
employees
and
there's
a
potential
to
have
that
indoor
secured
parking
at
the
the
other
building
on
site
for
employees.
If,
if
that
isn't-
and
lastly,
I
think
we
did
mention
the
pre-registration
in
the
opening
time
just
to
reduce
those
early
trips
and
then
with
respect
to
you
know
in
terms
of
traffic
mitigation,
the
one
thing
that
we
are
recommending
and
I'm
going
to
go
back
a
few
slides.
I
think
it'll
be
easier
to
understand
it.
D
So,
under
existing
conditions,
there's
really
no
no
restriction
in
terms
of
vehicles
coming
up
stark
street.
So
when
you
get
a
red
light
at
stark,
you
know
you
can
make
that
right
on
red
and
make
that
maneuver
eastbound
towards
93.
one
of
the
one
of
the
things
the
project
will
generate.
You
know
we
certainly
hope
it's.
The
case
is
pedestrian
trips,
people
from
the
neighborhood
again
coming
down
to
make
purchases,
and
so
what's
going
to
happen,
is
you'll
you're,
ultimately
going
to
have
more
pedestrian
crossings
of
cambridge
street.
D
You
know
at
this
location
if
it's
deemed
appropriate
by
the
btd.
What
we're
recommending
is
that
a
no
right
on
red
sign
be
installed
on
stark
street
northbound.
We
don't
want
to
have
a
situation
where
you
know
someone.
Who's
unfamiliar
with
the
area
doesn't
understand
that
there's
an
exclusive
pedestrian
phase
here
that
gets
called
you
know
pulls
up.
Has
the
red
light.
D
So
you
know
what
we'd
like
to
do
is
have
a
a
no
right
on
red
condition
that
way
that
that
movement
from
stark
street
is
only
occurring
during
the
green
phase
and
it
minimizes
the
potential
for
conflicts
between
that
turning
traffic
and
pedestrians
or
bicyclists
crossing
chemistry
at
this
location-
and
I
believe
that
is
that
is
all
I
have
for
today-
I'd
be
happy
to
answer.
You
know
any
questions.
Anyone
might
have.
A
Awesome
sean,
I'm
just
gonna
jump
back
in
here,
so
thank
you
for
the
presentation,
phil
and
nikki,
and
sean
for
the
update
on
the
traffic
study.
So
we
are
now
going
to
move
to
comments
and
questions.
I
know
there's
a
few
already
in
the
chat,
so
I
want
to
make
sure
we're
moving
to
those
first.
I
do
just
want
to
for
folks
who
have
joined,
webex
or
haven't
joined
webex
before
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we're
aware
of
how
to
participate
if
you're
joining
us
via
the
computer.
A
You
can
indicate
in
the
chat
that
you
like
a
question
to
be
answered,
or
you
can
raise
your
hand
at
the
bottom
of
the
screen.
If
you
are
dialing
in
by
phone,
you
can
press
star
three
and
that
will
indicate
your
hand
is
raised
and
we
can
unmute
you
from
there.
I'm
gonna
go
first
to
david
and
then
to
brian
david.
F
F
The
main
issue
we
have
always
had
is
that
our
neighborhood
is
a
cut
through
to
avoid
the
rotary.
So
all
of
the
vehicular
traffic,
in
terms
of
the
studies
and
everything
and
parking
on
the
main
street
is
fantastic,
but
we
run
into
this
issue
every
day,
where
I
think
I
understand
there's
a
2016
traffic
study.
They
found
that
parker
street
carries
about
1200
vehicles
down
at
every
day.
F
This
is
a
residential
neighborhood
you're
talking
at
least
a
car
a
minute,
and
I
think
that
has
always
been
our
main
concern,
and
I
would
ask
you
and
then
btd:
what
can
we
do
to
mitigate
traffic
coming
through
our
neighborhood
we're
less
concerned
about
traffic
on
cambridge
street?
It's
it's
really
about
people
cutting
through
to
avoid
the
rotary,
which
has
been
a
problem
for
a
long
time
and
by
the
way
that
that
study
that
I'm
referencing.
F
D
Well,
I
I
think
there
will
be
some
traffic
that
comes
down
parker
street.
I
mean
there's,
no,
there's
no
denying
it
if
you're.
If
you
live
in
the
neighborhood
and
as
pointed
out,
this
is
ultimately
you
know
really
going
to
be
a
neighborhood
store.
Then
you
likely
will
see
some
traffic.
You
know
we
can.
We
can
talk
to
bill
conrad
at
bt
and
see
if
they
would
be.
You
know
in
in
favor
of
doing
some
traffic
calming
measures,
but
but
you
know,
I
think,
ultimately
you
know
you're
correct.
D
There
will
be
some.
There
will
be
some
impact
with
parker,
but
it
will
likely
be
traffic
from
the
neighborhood.
I
don't
think
you're
going
to
get
people
that
are
traveling.
You
know
from
miles
away
to
to
come
here.
It'll
be
it'll,
be
people
from
your
neighborhood
that
use
that,
because
it's
a
it's
a
convenient
access
route
that
gives
you
direct
access
to
the
site.
F
Well,
I
guess
just
just
to
follow
up
sean.
I
think
that
the
issue
that
we
have
now
is
that
we
have
lots
of
out-of-state
people
who
cut
through
our
neighborhood
all
the
time.
So,
theoretically
they
could
be,
you
know
stopping
on
their
way
home
or
you
know,
to
work.
Potentially
I
mean
there's
often
like
I
know
the
summer
of
all
cops
were
just
nearby
ticketing
out
of
state
folks
who
were
driving
through,
and
I
recognize
that
the
the
the
assumption
here
is
that
it'll
mostly
be
folks
from
within
the
area
going.
F
However,
we
have
to
acknowledge
that
the
encore
casino
is
close
and
this
would
be
the
closest
place
and
so
there's
very
likely
to
be
additional
vehicular
traffic
coming
from
there,
and
I
guess
that's
that's
our.
I
think
our
community's
main
concern
really.
I
think
we
do
need.
We
need
mitigation
measures,
we've
been
asking
for
it
for
a
long
time.
I
know.
That's
not.
You
know,
that's
not
nikki's
company's
problem,
but
I
think
this
is
our
concern
with
anything
that
goes
into
our
area.
D
F
G
F
It's
like
a
you
know.
It
is
a
big
problem.
We
have
lots
of
cars,
trucks,
all
sorts
of
stuff
going
on
parker.
It's
the
only
way
out
once
you
get
in
really
so
and
that's
where
everyone
uses,
but
yeah
I
mean.
Maybe
someone
who
you
know
actually
lives
in
the
street
day
to
day
and
deals
with.
This
could
also
weigh-
and
I
know
brian
does.
I
think
he
was
up
next
so.
A
H
Thank
you
very
much.
I
appreciate
everybody's
information
this
evening.
My
questions
are
mostly
from
mr
kelly.
Sean
and
obviously
the
city
has
problems
with
traffic,
and
so
people
complain
about
traffic,
but
we
have
about
a
one-third
of
all
of
the
commuter
traffic
that
goes
into
boston
comes
through
the
sullivan
square
area.
H
Parker
street
has,
as
of
five
years
ago,
before
union
square
exploded
before
north
point
exploded
before
the
casino
was
created
before
assembly
blew
up
before
the
max
general
hospital
moved
there
we
had
1200
vehicles
come
down
our
street
daily,
we're
not
looking
at
holy
traffic,
we're
talking
about
800
vehicles,
beginning
in
the
early
morning,
hours.
Okay,
this
this
corner
of
parker
street
in
cambridge
street.
You
talk
about
hourly
traffic,
okay,
which
I
think
is
a
little
disingenuous,
because
if
you
live
here,
there
are
about
14
000
vehicles
that
go
down
camber
street
daily.
H
H
You
know
with
someone
that
deals
with
safety
issues,
people
walking
down
cambridge
street,
don't
even
have
curbs
vehicles
just
simply
roll
up
into
these
parking
lots
directly
across
the
street
to
where
you
anticipate
having
this
marijuana
dispensary.
Okay,
so
you
it!
You
have
to
acknowledge.
The
folks
here
have
been
dealing
with
this
issue
for
a
very
long
time
and
we
have
had
no
help
from
the
city
whatsoever.
H
H
Now
we
had
a
meeting
in
june
of
2019
with
the
city
with
btd,
and
they
agreed
that
we
had
a
tremendous
cut
through
problem
of
traffic
in
the
morning
on
policy
which
reverses
and
goes
back
up
brighton
street.
All
of
these
folks
are
trying
to
avoid
the
rotary
at
sullivan
square.
Okay,
we're
tag.
We're
in
this
is
directly
where
you
want
to
put
your
new
commercial
venture
and
bill
conroy
agreed.
H
He
walked
the
street.
He
saw
how
difficult
it
was
for
the
pedestrians
for
the
folks
who
live
here,
but
nothing's
happened
since
then,
and
we've
been
asking
for
follow-up
meetings
and
help.
Okay,
none
of
the
numbers
you
use
now
have
anything
to
do
with
what
really
goes
on
in
our
street
during
a
normal
traffic
time
period.
Covert
has
changed
everything
so
when
you
quote
55
vehicles
you're
talking
about
this
morning
per
hour,
right
you're,
not
talking
about
the
day,
but
we
know
what
the
real
numbers
are
like,
because
we
had
real
studies
done.
H
H
Streets
should
be
safe
for
the
people
who
live
and
work
here,
not
for
people
who
commute
from
the
suburban
community
to
go
to
north
point
every
day.
Okay,
so
this
is
director,
not
you
nikki.
This
is
directed
at
the
city
when
and-
and
let
me
say
something
else-
okay,
you
talk
about
everything's,
hourly
right.
How
many
vehicle
trips,
mr
kelly,
are
gonna
happen
to
your
new
dispensary
per
week.
In
addition
to
the
dunkin
donuts,
the
commute
the
commuter
cut
through
traffic,
is
it
5,
000
vehicle
trips
a
week,
be
honest.
D
Again,
it's
it's,
it's
not
as
simple
as
taking
the
hourly
rate
and
multiplying
it
by
12
and
multiplying
it
by
seven.
You
know:
there's
a
there's,
a
temporal
distribution
when
we
do
these
studies-
and
this
is
the
state
and
city
guidelines-
we
focus
on
the
the
busiest
hours
of
roadway
traffic.
So
we
look
at
the
morning
we
look
at
the
evening
and
then
we
look
at
that
busiest
you
know
I.
I
certainly
recognize
what
you're
saying
that
there
are.
D
There
are
many
other
hours
during
the
day,
and
I
I
certainly
am
you
know
sensitive
to
the
notion
that
you
know
you
I
I
have
no
doubt
there
is,
you
know,
cut
through
traffic
commuter
traffic
that
exists
today.
That
has
nothing
to
do
with
this
project,
but
that
does
have
an
impact
on
your
neighborhood.
You
know
in
the
traffic
on
parker
street,
but
but
you
know
I
can
get
you
a
weekly
number,
but
it's
not
something.
D
A
I
I
I
was
able
to
secure
over
295
000
from
the
casino
for
a
construction
grant,
and
I
also
applied
for
an
additional
grant
for
that
construction
grant
for
this
year.
The
total
cost
of
the
project
is
somewhere
around
six
hundred
thousand
dollars.
I've
talked
to
chief
all
is
good
about
this.
I've
told
him
numerous
times.
This
is
a
high
priority.
We
need
to
do
something
over
there.
In
the
last
village,
he's
agreed
budgets
agreed,
so
we've
agreed
that
this
project's
going
to
be
built
and
underway
by
the
fall
of
this
year.
I
So
that's
what
they're
committed
to
I
have
the
plans.
We
don't
have
a
hundred
percent
plans,
but
I'll
go
over
the
six
into
the
six
locations
as
we
discussed
before,
but
we
can
have
a
separate
meeting
on
this
too.
Like
you
know,
if
pat
wants
to
organize
a
meeting,
we
can
do
that
with
the
group,
but
we
talked
about
brighton
street
at
cambridge
street.
We
talked
about
tidying
up
the
radii.
On
that
we
have.
We
have
that
intersection.
I
We
had
the
intersection
at
hadley
street
and
parker
tying
that
all
up
as
well
as
we
go
on.
We
talked
about
parker
street
in
caldwell
and
realigning
those
handicap
ramps.
I
think
public
works
actually
went
out
there
put
a
new
ramp
in
in
the
exact
location,
which
is
I
don't.
I
can't
comment
on
that,
but
as
far
as
perkins
street,
I
think
when
we
made
that
walk
around,
we
saw
that
our
our
close
neighbor
there
in
somerville
had
do
not
enter
one
way.
I
Our
goal
is
to
take
that
sign
down
and
make
perkins
street
two-way,
so
that
will
help
alleviate
some
of
the
traffic
concerns
in
that
area.
The
other
thing
is,
we
talked
about
caldwell
going
one
way
towards
mafa,
and
then
we
had
that
slingshot
coming
down
from
off
away
and
our
goal
is-
and
I
think
the
community
liked
this
idea
tighten
up
that
whole
corner
make
expand
the
dog
park.
That's
currently
there
pick
up
additional
green
space
or
maybe
more
for
the
dogs.
I
So
this
project
is
real.
I
just
discussed
it
with
the
designers
as
well,
so
I
mean,
and
then
we
talked
about
adding
some
interconnect,
cable
and
other
stuff
and
for
the
other
streets
of
the
other
major
intersection.
So
that
being
said,
I
mean
it.
This
is
real
so
and
I
apologize
we
haven't
been
out
there
and
I
you
know
this
proponent
here:
we've
helped
them
along,
but
I
I
understand
the
angst
of
the
community.
I
A
Awesome,
thank
you
for
that
bill.
I
do
wanna,
I'm
gonna
get
going
again
with
the
questions.
I
do
just
wanna
note
that
we're
joined
tonight
by
leslie
hawkins
from
the
boston
cannabis
board.
So
if
there
are
questions
specific
to
like
process
or
anything
to
do
with,
the
official
canvas
board
feel
free
to
ask
those
as
well,
but
I
know
traffic's
hot
topic:
I'm
gonna
go
to
something
you're
unmuted.
K
G
Excellent,
so
I
just
want
to
direct
this
to
nikki.
I
think
you
know
the
business
plan
was
was
well
done.
I
think
you'd
be
a
very,
very
much
a
positive
addition
to
the
charlestown
neighborhood
and
just
businesses.
I
think
it
seems
like
you,
I
I
get
a
sense
that
you
would
be
very
community
involved
and
etc,
and
I
think
that's
always
a
good
thing
for
our
business
leaders,
but
I
this
is,
I
think,
my
second
time
coming
to
a
cannabis
proposal.
G
So
again,
I
think
I
think,
there's
going
to
be
a
large
negative
prospect
not
to
towards
you
nikki,
but
just
towards
what
this
business
is,
and
it's
just
you
know.
I
think
this
role,
because
you
know
families
were
ripped
in
half
and
again
today
we
still
see
you
know
the
walking
dead
going
throughout
our
neighborhoods,
the
victims
of
the
opioid
crisis
and
again
we
know
that
the
marijuana
marijuana
is
not
opioids,
but
again
it's
going
to
be
that
that
visceral
negative
thought
process
in
marijuana
businesses
in
general.
G
So
that's
just
my
comment
trying
to
be
at
least
consistent,
said
the
same
thing
with
the
last
marijuana
marijuana
business
that
was
proposed
for
the
lost
village
and
again
I
hope
you
all
all
the
best
nikki
and
again,
I
think
your
great
plans
and
well
done
but
again,
just
the
the
just
there's
a
just
a
visceral
thing
with
our
history
in
this
town.
So
again
that's
best
of
luck
and
that's
all
I
have
to
say
thank
you.
L
H
L
Yeah
too
big
way
too
big.
The
traffic
is
another
major
issue.
I
know
everybody
thinks
they're
going
to
do
terrific
things
and
god's
going
to
come
down
and
make
everything
perfect
put
the
traffic.
Here
we
are
locked
in
we
we
can't
get
out
on
a
good
day.
If
you
build
some
sort
of
a
business
of
that
size,
it's
only
going
to
be
10
times
worse.
I
don't
care
who
you're
saying
what
time
they're
coming
this
and
the
other
thing
deliveries
are
only
going
to
make
it
worse.
L
L
You
do
okay
and
you
continually
say
you're
going
to
give
back
give
back
and
you
want
to
give
to
where
you
you're
from
and
again
you
know,
we
don't
know
you,
so
it's
very
difficult.
You
know
for
something
like
this
to
start
in
a
community
like
this.
Like
sean
just
said,
we've
been
through
hell
and
back
with
an
opioid
issue.
Here
I
mean
it's
been
horrendous,
so
to
not
know
you
and
to
not
know
what
you're
bringing
with
you.
B
Again,
if,
if
I
can
speak
to
that
a
little
bit,
I
think
quite
a
bit
has
changed.
Actually
again,
I
think
we're
trying
to
talk
to
the
community.
We
we
understand
we
got
this
traffic
study
which,
if
I'm
understanding
it,
is
basically
sort
of
acknowledging.
While
we
acknowledge
what
everybody
seems
to
be
saying
here,
that
there
are
some
traffic
issues
in
the
area.
The
point
is
this.
B
Particular
business
is
not
going
to
significantly
add
to
that
and
I
think
that's
a
major
point
that
maybe
you're
downplaying
a
little
bit
but
we're
sensitive
to
that.
So
again,
I'm
not
quite
sure
I
understand
the
size
of
the
business
and
how
that
impacts
anything.
It's
the
number
of
people
that
are
going
to
go
here,
which
is
not
going
to
be
a
significant
addition
to
what
you
already
have.
A
M
Hi
paige
griglin
at
37,
parker
street
and
yeah,
I'm
going
to
repeat
the
same
thing
that
my
neighbors
repeated,
because
they
bear
repeating
and
it's
the
traffic
and
I,
while
I
appreciate
the
traffic
study
that
was
done
for
cambridge
street
and
rolling
street,
it
doesn't
focus
on
parker
and
I
live
right
on
a
corner.
Yes,
the
traffic
is
atrocious.
Coming
down
that
street,
especially
in
the
morning
it's
dangerous.
M
When
my
car
is
parked
on
the
street,
I
go
out
and
open
my
car
door
and
I'm
afraid
of
the
car
door
being
fit
myself
being
hit
my
children
so
yeah.
I
have
to
ask
that
the
traffic
is
really
an
issue
and
I
wish
that
the
study
would
have
focused
more
on
parker
street,
more
on
brighton
street
more
on
hadley
street,
and
I
want
to
ask
perhaps
this
is
a
question
for
patrick
or
woman
of
the
cannabis
board.
M
What
how
is
the
city
going
to
decide
between
this
business
and
the
business
that
is,
that
is
on
the
deciding
block
in
sullivan
square
at
the
old
westlake
restaurant?
So
is
that
still
a
possibility?
And
how
is
that
going
to
be
decided?
So
both
of
them
can't
happen.
So
how
does
how's
that
going
to
work.
N
Thank
you
pat,
so
my
name's
leslie
delaney-hawkins,
I'm
the
executive
secretary,
I'm
the
attorney
for
the
cannabis
board.
I
don't
usually
attend
these
meetings,
but
I
do
want
to
make
myself
available
and
our
staff
available
for
questions
about
the
process,
because
I
know
there
are
a
lot
of
questions
out
there
in
terms
of.
I
just
want
to
be
very
clear
in
terms
of
where
this
applicant
is
in
the
process
they
were
denied
without
prejudice
and
the
board
encouraged
them
on
the
record
to
return
to
the
community,
which
they're
obviously
doing
that's.
N
Why
we're
here
and
one
of
the
questions
that
was
before
the
board
was
the
status
of
the
concerns
over
traffic
and
they
conducted
this
traffic
study
that
is
before
everyone.
Everyone
will
give
whatever
weight
they
deem
appropriate
to
their
traffic
study,
but
they
have
done
their
due
diligence
in
conducting
that
traffic
study
in
terms
of
the
process
and
other
establishments.
N
When
evaluating
any
establishment.
This
board
does
not
look
to
prior
applicants.
It
does
not
look
to
future
applicants,
it
looks
to
the
applicant
and
the
site
before
it.
This
board
is
tasked
with
evaluating
the
appropriateness
in
time,
place
and
manner,
and
that
is
what
the
board
does
so
in
terms
of
any
future
applicant.
N
So
there
is
always
the
possibility
that
there
are
two
locations
cited
within
a
half
mile
of
each
other.
The
the
city
has
a
legal
obligation
to
cite
52
of
these
recreational
dispensaries
at
a
minimum,
but
we
are
doing
so
in
a
very
thoughtful
and
equitable
way.
So
I
just
want
to
emphasize
that
everything
is
evaluated
on
its
own
merits
in
terms
of
time
place
and
manner.
There
has
never
been
a
question
about
the
heritage,
club's
equity
status
or
the
character
of
the
applicant,
so
I
just
wanted
to
make
that
clear.
N
A
Awesome,
thank
you
leslie,
and
could
you
there's
a
couple
questions
in
the
chat?
Could
you
just
explain
briefly
the
open
comment
period?
We
have
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
there's
this
initial
meeting
and
then
there's
the
time
from
now
until
the
board
hearing
and
then
there
is
an
opening
hearing
open
comment
period
until
the
board
takes
an
official
vote
vote,
correct.
N
Yep,
absolutely
so,
in
order
to
have
a
completed
application
before
the
board,
you
have
to
have
a
complete
application
by
the
last
business
day
of
the
month,
and
I
know
this
sounds
kind
of
onerous
and
specific,
but
it's
really
important
to
provide
transparency
and
accountability
in
this
process.
So
if
you
have
a
complete
application
before
the
board,
what
that
means
is
you
have
provided
us
everything
that
we
need?
N
You
have
requested
your
letter
of
support,
opposition
or
non-opposition
from
your
district
city
councillor
and
you've
either
received
that
or
the
45-day
period
after
that
request
has
run
if
that
is
received
by
the
last
business
day
of
the
month
and
you're,
an
equity
applicant,
because
obviously,
a
huge
charge
of
this
board
is
ensuring
equity,
both
in
the
applicants
and
the
distribution
of
these
licenses
you'll
be
placed
on
the
next
agenda.
So
if
you're
an
equity
applicant
you
get
on
as
quickly
as
we
can
get
you
on.
N
If
you're
non-equity
you
get
placed
in
the
queue
and
you'll
be
paired,
based
on
the
date
of
your
application
on
a
one-to-one
basis
with
an
equity
applicant,
so
I
can't
predict
when
someone
will
be
on
the
agenda,
but
I
can
say
that
after
so
after
this
community
meeting,
this
is
what
triggers
the
request
to
the
district
city
councilor.
It
allows
them
a
45-day
period
to
provide
a
letter
of
support,
opposition
or
non-opposition
if
they
don't
provide
anything
non-opposition
is
assumed
and
they
are
permitted
to
supplement
that
at
a
hearing
before
the
board.
N
O
N
Once
someone
is
scheduled
for
a
hearing,
they
appear
before
the
board
on
the
second
wednesday
of
the
month.
That's
a
public
hearing.
Testimony
is
accepted.
The
record
is
kept
open
until
the
following
tuesday
at
5
00
pm
the
board
votes
on
wednesday
and
no
public
testimony
is
taken
at
that
time,
but
I
do
think
it's
important
to
note,
especially
with
everyone
who's
taking
the
time
out
of
their
day,
to
come
to
this
meeting.
To
come
to
our
public
hearings.
N
A
P
Hey,
thank
you
everyone.
So
I
had
a
couple
questions
that
I
raised
earlier
so
when,
when
the
presentation
was
going
on,
one
of
the
things
that
we
talked
about
was
community.
What
community
are
we
talking
about
here?
Are
we
talking
about
the
community
that
is
in
like
close
proximity
to
the
business
to
the
proposed
business?
Are
we
talking
about
the
community
at
large
in
boston?
P
Second
question:
what
changed
since
the
last
time
heritage
club
proposed
that
it
was
probably
about
six
months
ago
and
I
don't
see
any
any
additional
changes.
I
also
want
to
make
a
comment
specifically
about
the
traffic.
The
way
it
is
proposed
right
now,
it's
gonna
be
a
nightmare.
I'll.
Tell
you
why,
if
you're
coming
from
cambridge
street
and
trying
to
make
a
left
turn
onto
stark
street
right
before
the
traffic
lights,
it's
it's
not
gonna
be
possible.
P
I
live
in
32
parker
street,
which
is
facing
cambridge
street
tonight.
I
can
see
the
traffic
every
day
and
I
in
and
I
know
exactly
what
I'm
talking
about
here
so
this
is.
This
is
one
of
my
comments
that
it's
it's
gonna
be
crazy.
If
you
allow
traffic
to
make
a
left
turn
right
before
the
traffic
light,
the
amount
of
traffic
right
now
since
october
of
last
year
is
increased.
Probably
threefold,
and
the
reason
is
the
glx
extension
and
second,
is
that
there's
gonna
be
a
250
unit.
P
The
the
the
belt
rod,
which
is
right
next
actually
to
the
holiday,
so
imagine
the
amount
of
traffic
that
this
will
generate
going
forward,
just
giving
it
a
heads
up.
So
the
first
two
questions
again.
What
are
you
talking
about
when
you're
talking
about
community?
What
are
you
giving
back
to
the
community
and
what
changed
since
the
last
time
you
proposed
that.
B
Sure,
let
me
let
me
try
to
address
that
the
community.
Obviously
it's
the
neighbors,
it's
also
the
broader
community.
It's
both
so
in
terms
of
what
we're
trying
to
provide
for
the
community.
I
think
you
know
I
outlined
some
pretty
aggressive
programs
that
we're
talking
about
you
know
providing
you
know
a
percentage
of
our
net
profit,
three
percent
of
net
profits
to
a
board
that
can
address
neighborhood
concerns
for
the
lost
village.
I
think
that's
significant.
B
Similarly,
you
know
the
the
the
homeowner
closing
cost
program
that
we're
proposing.
I
think
that's
significant
in
terms
of
what's
changed.
I
can
tell
you,
you
know
the
the
issues
that
are
raised
of
concern
at
the
prior
meeting
and,
quite
frankly,
at
the
boston,
cannabis
board,
meeting,
surrounded
two
issues:
traffic
and
ownership.
What's
changed?
Is
we
got
a
traffic
study
that
basically
says
we're
not
really
adding
to
the
problem
in
any
significant
manner?
I
think
that's
important.
B
I
understand
everybody
explaining
to
me
the
traffic
issues
here.
I
think
the
key
point
is
you've
clearly
got
issues
that
you
are
raising
with
the
city
of
boston
and
that's
great,
but
we're
not
adding
to
that
problem,
not
in
any
significant
way,
as
as
it's
been
explained
to
us
by
that
traffic
study
in
terms
of
the
ownership
it's
simplified
significantly.
Nikki
is
the
owner
period.
There's
nobody
else.
So
you
know
in
terms
of
what's
changed.
We've
addressed
the
two
biggest
issues
that
raise
concerns.
B
I
think
quite
well
other
than
that
we've
added
some
additional
information
about
how
we
operate.
I
went
over
significant
issues
regarding
how
security
is
handled
operations
are
handled.
I
think
those
are
all
new
items.
Is
it
this?
It's
still
the
same.
Building
we'll
acknowledge
that.
But
it's
you
know,
we've
we've
provided
a
lot
of
updates
to
how
this
is
going
to
operate.
Q
Thank
you,
patrick.
I
would
have
to
agree
with
everyone
else
who's
spoken
here
and
I
will
have
to
disagree
with
mr
silverman
that
that
I
don't
think
anything
has
changed
and
to
suggest
that
throwing
money
at
the
community
with
a
a
pot
of
here's,
our
some
three
percent
of
our
proceeds.
That
does
not
make
our
quality
of
life
better.
Here.
Money
is
not
going
to
make
our
neighborhood
safer
and,
in
fact,
really.
Q
I
think
it's
a
little
disingenuous
for
the
traffic
folks
to
come
here
and
say
that
it's
not
going
to
exacerbate
the
issue
that
we
have
already.
We
know
we
have
a
traffic
issue.
We
know
we
have
a
public
safety
issue.
We
know
we
have
a
serious
situation
here
and
I
really
take
offense
at
the
fact
that
mr
kelly
suggests
that
there's
only
been
fender
benders,
there
have
been
children
hit
by
cars.
Q
Q
That
truly
benefit
your
client,
and
I
understand
that,
but
we
have
to
defend
ourselves
here
as
well,
and
mr
conroy
has
had
a
meeting
with
us
and
if
I
really
you
know,
I
I
take
exception
to
that
as
well,
because
now
we're
a
priority
now
everything's
going
to
get
fixed,
we
got
lights,
we've
got
street
lights
street
lights.
Can
you
explain
to
me
how
street
lights
fix
our
traffic?
Q
Q
C
First
of
all,
I
actually
wrote
letters
to
all
of
my
butters,
and
I
know
mary
belcher
at
the
charlestown
neighborhood
council
said
she
did
receive
that.
So
I
don't
know
if
other
people
who
just
didn't
attend
or
haven't
gotten
to
speak
yet
can
speak
up
on
that
and
I
have
been
speaking
to
a
few
of
the
community
members.
I
have
reached
out
to
multiple
butters
and
asked
if
they'd
like
to
be
a
part
of
the
committee,
the
community
fund.
I
know
peter
was
concerned
about
what
community
I'm
talking
about.
C
I
separate
everything
out
very
specifically,
so
you
know
who
I'm
directing
it
to
the
lost
village.
Community
trust
is
for
the
lost
village
community.
It's
not
for
all
of
charlestown,
because
you
guys
are
the
community
that
I'm
going
to
be
a
part
of
no
other
applicant
is
giving
three
percent
to
the
community.
They
have
to
give
a
three
percent
fee
to
boston
and
that
fund
that
set
of
funds
can
be
used
in
southie.
It
could
be
used
in
austin.
It
could
be
used
in
backstage.
C
They
could
skip
you
guys
all
together
and
I
don't
think,
that's
acceptable.
So
I
made
an
effort
to
separate
that
out,
specifically
for
the
community
that
I'm
joining
in
addition
to
the
other
efforts
that
I
want
to
make
in
terms
of
housing,
because
I
work
in
real
estate.
In
addition
to
the
other
things
I
want
to
do
in
terms
of
jobs
and
diversity,
to
help
everybody
in
the
cannabis
community.
So.
C
To
make
sure
I'm
helping
people,
I
hope
that's
sufficient
for
you
guys
it
seems
like
it
might
not
be
there's
nobody
else
doing
this.
That's
why
I
haven't
changed
my
proposal
because,
if
I
put
mine
next
to
other
people,
I
feel
like
they
could
do
more.
A
lot
of
times.
They're
doing
can
drive,
I'm
not
going
to
come
back
and
do
pretend
service
that
I
don't
think
is
going
to
change
people's
lives.
C
C
So
that's
why
I
chose
to
pick
those
as
my
initiatives.
Every
business
is
different
and
hopefully
some
community
members
appreciate
that.
As
far
as
the
study,
I
asked
that
btd
designed
the
study,
because
I'm
not
a
traffic
expert,
so
there
are
issues
with
the
study
that
should
be
directed
at
the
city
and
yeah.
I
appreciate
you
guys
attending
and
I
appreciate
the
feedback.
A
N
Think
about
I
just
want
to
make
clear
when
any
license
is
granted.
There
is
a
three
percent,
three
percent
taking
that
comes
that
up
to
a
three
percent
taking
that
can
come
to
the
city
aside
from
the
tax,
but
that
is
legally
required
to
go
to
the
area
impacted
by
the
cannabis
establishment
legally.
That
cannot
go
to
another
neighborhood,
so
I
just
want
to
make.
I
just
want
to
make
that
clarification,
that
if
a
license
is
granted
in
in
this
or
any
neighborhood
that
that
three
percent
is
directed
back
to
that
neighborhood.
A
E
N
No,
I
would
I
all.
Presentations
are
posted
on
the
boston
cannabis
board's
website
once
they're
finalized,
but
in
terms
of
the
applications
there's
a
lot
of
very
personal
information
that
we
have
to
redact
before
we
provide
the
copies
of
the
applications,
but
in
terms
of
the
substantive
operational
proposals,
that's
all
available
to
the
public
as
soon
as
it's
received
by
the
board
and
posted
for
a
hearing.
N
R
R
If
I'm
not
mistaken,
last
time
was
what
was
going
to
happen
post
getting
the
license
some
outside
investment
kind
of
after
the
fact.
So
I
don't
know
if
that's
actually
still
been
addressed
but
going
to
the
traffic
study.
I
I
think
I
mean
we
saw
some
couple,
some
high
level
numbers
that
sean
put
up,
but
they
don't
match
with
the
projections.
The
business
is
giving
phil's
given
numbers
is
turning
70
cars
an
hour
in
that
in
those
parking
spaces
they
have.
R
R
And
then
you
just
have
you
can't
even
turn
on
a
parker
street
at
the
time,
because
people
run
the
light
in
front
of
the
glass
shop
now
they
off-ramp's
a
disaster.
So
you
just
can't
go
anywhere,
so
you
probably
would
see
more
cars
if
you
could
actually
get
down
cambridge
street.
I
think
the
traffic
study
also
missed
the
parker
street
and
then
everything
that's
happening
on
the
back
side
too,
which
we
pointed
out
earlier,
so
I
just
was
not
considered
at
all.
R
R
D
Yeah
yeah
a
little
bit
too
impactful
I'll
try
to
take
it
point
by
point,
so
I
think
the
first
question
you
had
was
relative
to:
how
do
we
get
the
the
the
traffic
numbers
these
facilities
generate?
And
why
did
my
number,
perhaps
not
you
know,
die
with
the
the
number
that
that
phillip
point
out?
First
off,
our
number
is
based
on
industry
data
and
it's
published
by
the
institute
of
transportation
engineers
and
it's
based
on
surveys
of
existing
facilities
that
identify
for
a
size
facility
how
much
traffic
you
can
expect
to
generate.
D
We've
actually
done
some
empirical
work
on
sites
they've
been
opened
up
in
massachusetts,
compared
the
localized
data
to
what
you
you
see
with
the
industry
data
and,
quite
frankly,
the
data
is
quite
similar,
so
that
was
the
basis
for
for
our
assessment
numbers
that
we
project.
I,
I
think
the
point
that
that
phil
was
making
was
simply
that
you
know
when
people
come
to
these
these
facilities.
D
D
I
think
that
was
your
first
question,
the
second
question
relative
to
the
parking
you
know
when
we
went
out.
We
didn't
just
count
the
number
of
spaces
along
cambridge
street
or
in
the
parking
lot
you
know
behind.
Inside
of
us.
We
actually
counted
how
many
cars
parked
there
as
well,
and
we
did
it
for
a
total
of
seven
hours
so
we're
out
there
for
an
entire
morning
peak
hour
during
the
commuter
rush.
Looking
at
how
many
cars
a
day,
we
went
out
every
15
minutes
and
counted
it
again.
D
We
went
out
there
in
the
evening
and
we
counted
all
the
again.
We
went
out
there
on
saturday
and
the
same
exercise,
so
we
we
spent,
we
literally
had
someone's
walking
up
and
down
that
corridor
for
seven
hours,
I'm
looking
at
how
many
spaces
will
fail,
and
I
assure
you
at
no
point
in
time
did
we
ever
get
anywhere
near
a
70
occupancy
rate?
Not
even
close,
I
mean
in
terms
of
the
spaces
on
cambridge
street.
You
know
you
have
a
couple
spaces
that
were
filled.
D
Those
spaces
are
predominantly
and
almost
exclusively
open.
I
mean,
typically,
you
know
a
couple
times
the
vehicles
that
we
counted
that
were
parked.
There
were
actually
amazon
vans
that
just
pulled
over.
I
think
the
driver
wanted
a
break.
So
those
spaces
certainly
are
not
utilized
at
a
high
level.
That's
certainly
not
utilizing.
70
and
and
again
you
know
the
demands
that
we
have.
We,
we
don't
even
think
we
need
those
spaces,
but
we
simply
want
to
point
out
that
hey
within
a
two
minute
walk
of
this
of
this
business.
D
There
is
ample
parking
in
this
area
that
doesn't
involve
anything
in
the
residential
neighborhood
to
the
north
of
cambridge
street.
With
respect
to
operations
at
the
ramp,
you
know
we
we
did
look
at
the
operations
of
the
ramp.
We
certainly
agree
that
you
know
there
are
times
that
the
ramp
traffic
you
know,
does
back
up
and
that
the
volume
is
going
west
or
rather
east
towards
the
ramp.
D
You
know
do
cue
back,
but
the
point
we
again
we
tried
to
make-
and
I
want
to
make
sure
it's
understood-
is
that
you
know
what
we're
not
disagree.
There
are
some
issues
today.
Traffic,
but
we're
pointing
out
is
that
our
impact
is
so
negligible.
You
know
when
you,
when
you
have
a
a
movement
that
has
seven
800
cars
an
hour
and
you
add
you
know
12
to
15
cars.
You
know
it
just
simply
doesn't
move
the
needle,
so
so,
yes,
we
did
look
at
those
ramps.
We
did
look
at
the
operations
we
do.
D
We
have
been
out
there
during
peak
hours
and
we
do
understand
the
impacts
of
queuing
at
certain
times
when
they're
in
peak
rushes,
but
but
at
the
end
of
the
day
you
know,
regardless
of
how
big
the
bucket
is.
You
know
we're
still
a
drop
in
the
bucket
and
that's
the
point
that
I
think
we
wanted
to
make
there.
So
no
we
we
did
look
at
that.
D
A
S
S
Is
90
100
cambridge
street
as
well
as
116
cambridge
street
nikki,
has
been
proposing
to
have
her
heritage
village
located
at
116
facility.
We
bought
this
property
in
1980.
At
that
time
the
buildings
had
been
vacant
and
abandoned
for
11
years.
There
was
a
fire
that
burned
the
building
down
it
just
sat
there
empty.
S
We
renovated
the
buildings,
put
our
business
in
there
and
grew
our
business
for
the
last
40
years
in
that
location,
and
we
came
to
charlestown
because
of
its
public
transportation,
and
at
that
time
there
was
no
traffic
problem
in
charlestown.
Not
you
could
park,
you
could
drive,
there
was
never
a
traffic
jam.
You
could
almost
walk
across
the
street
with
your
eyes
closed
and
not
worry.
That's
changed
dramatically
and
the
major
reasons
that
change
is
the
ramp
coming
off
route
93,
which
drops.
S
I
don't
know
how
many
thousand
cars
a
day
into
sullivan
square
and
blocks
up
that
rotary
at
sullivan
square
and
almost
at
the
same
time,
taking
down
the
rotary
that
took
cars
over
sullivan
square.
So
you
you
bought,
you
blocked
the
the
the
ability
for
cars
to
drive
through
sullivan
without
hitting
traffic,
and
you
added
you
know
many
many
many
more
cars
into
the
mix.
By
doing
that,
plus
you
had
it
in
the
the
encore
facility
and
all
the
other
constructions.
S
That's
happening
around
us
partners
and
you
name
it
construction,
that's
both
completed
and
it's
on
the
drawing
board,
boston,
2030
boston
wants
to
develop
this
area.
I
get
offers
every
day
for
my
building.
They
want
to
put
up
high-rise
facilities
on
this
space
and
I've
turned
them
all
down.
I
don't
want
that
to
happen
in
charlestown,
because
I
love
charleston.
I've
been
here
for
40
years,
but
that's
that's
what
other
people
want
to
do
here
and
that's
what's
coming
and
someone
even
mentioned
someone's
building
hundreds
of
apartments
in
the
area.
S
I
can't
lease
my
operation
because
of
the
inability
of
people
to
park
and
it
hurts
me
as
much
as
everybody
else
in
the
neighborhood
and
if
we
don't
and
if
we
don't
lease
to
nicki,
if
she's
unsuccessful,
if
you
block
her
application,
we'll
end
up
leasing
that
building
to
somebody
who
doesn't
have
to
be
licensed,
someone
who
won't
have
security,
someone
who
won't
have
any
regulations,
they
won't
have
lights.
They
won't
have
any
of
the
things
we're
talking
about
right
now.
They
won't
have
to
do
traffic
studies
and
they'll
bring
in
more
cars.
S
J
T
J
Yep
awesome,
so
my
name
is
maggie
supree,
I'm
here
to
speak
on
behalf
of
the
entire
supreme
family
from
charlestown
and
to
echo
the
sentiments
and
the
20
plus
letters
of
support
that
my
family
submitted
in
favor
of
the
heritage
club.
I
know
that
everybody's
saying
that
nothing
has
changed
and
in
terms
of
the
structure
of
that
business
plan,
nothing
has
changed
because
it
was
thorough
and
comprehensive
from
the
beginning.
J
But
a
lot
has
gone
on
behind
the
scenes.
Since
you
guys
saw
us
in
the
fall
and
a
lot
of
things
have
changed
and
I
think
bill
conroy's
testimony
speaks
to
that.
You
know.
Nikki
has
been
advocating
tirelessly
for
the
lost
village
over
the
last
few
months
in
the
long
standing
traffic
issue
and
the
cut
through
issues
that
you
guys
deal
with.
J
Nikki's
had
several
sit
downs
with
btd
to
advocate
for
change
and
solutions
to
the
problem
and
as
bill
conroy
said
that
progress
is
in
the
works
and
I
believe
in
large
part
that's
because
nikki
has
fought
for
it.
She's
done
more
in
three
months
than
you
guys
have
seen
in
what
35
years.
For
the
first
time,
you
guys
are
probably
hearing
that
change
is
coming
and
that
finally,
people
are
paying
attention.
J
J
I
think
you
guys
know
her
enough
and
I
think
it's
undeniable
that
she's,
brilliant
she's,
fearless
she's
relentless
and
she
is
she's
offering
to
present
your
neighborhood
with
a
lot
of
money
and
a
lot
of
opportunity
not
for
boston
not
for
charlestown
but
for
the
lost
village.
Specifically,
I
mean
she's,
who
you
want
on
your
side,
and
I
I
think
you
know
if
this
goes
through.
J
U
D
V
D
Yeah,
well,
what
we
did
is
you
know
we
and
we're
certainly
cognizant
of
that.
It's
a
challenge
that
you
know
quite
frankly,
we're
facing
the
industry
is
that
it's
tough
to
get
new
data
that
is,
you
know,
hasn't
been
impacted
because
of
people
working
remotely
or
not
working
or
schools
not
being
in
session.
U
I
I've
lived
here
all
my
life
same
street
different
houses
after
a
number
of
years
can't
express
the
same.
I
I
express
the
same
issues
that
brian
has
that
emory
has.
I
will
say
that
prior
I
was
unaware
of
this
meeting
tonight.
There
was
no
community
outreach
done
that
I
was
aware
of.
I
never
received
a
flyer
or
any
informational
piece
to
say
that
this
meeting
was
tonight
and,
quite
frankly,
I
was
pretty
perturbed
that
this
meeting
was
the
same
time
and
schedule
as
the
201.
U
As
you
know,
this
is
a
very
small
town,
so
everyone
is
involved
in
everything
that
happens
and
just
like
this
is
a
major
project
that
one
is
as
well
and
it
affects
all
of
us.
So
that's
one
thing.
I
know
it
was
david
lucia
that
actually
told
us,
the
sullivan
square
group,
that
we
have
that
this
meeting
was
happening
tonight.
So
there
was
no
community
outreach
with
that.
U
You
want
to
so
those
are
my
comments
and
and
to
bill
conroy,
who
I
know
extremely
well
worked
with
him
through
the
city
to
take
that
leg
out
up
on
broadway
and
expand
the
dog
park.
I
think
it's
a
good
idea
it
will
cut
through.
It
will
stop
some
of
the
cut-throughs
that
are
happening
on
mount
pleasant.
However,
the
city
gave
that
dog
park
to
mezzo
in
a
land
agreement.
U
B
We
got
the
abutters
list
from
the
city
and
we
we
sent
notice
to
everybody
if
you're
not
within
300
feet.
That
may
be
why
you
didn't
get
it
we,
but
we
followed
all
of
the
requirements
about
who
we're
supposed
to
notify.
I'm
glad
you
did
at
least
receive
notice
of
this
and
we're
able
to
come
down.
So
thank
you.
A
Yeah-
and
I
know
charlestown
is
I
mean
I
I
don't
represent
you
for
the
mayor's
office.
I
know
it's
this
whole
neighborhood,
so
all
of
you
are
very
actively
involved
if
you
do
fall
outside
of
the
300
feet.
If
you'd
like
to
shoot
me
an
email,
I'm
happy
to
keep
you
in
the
loop
on
next
steps
throughout
this
process,
and
I'm
gonna
put
my
contact
information
in
the
chat
at
the
end
of
this.
I'm
gonna
go
to
brendan
and
then
tim
and
then
dustin
so
brendan.
You
are
unmuted.
W
W
I
don't
understand
why
you
didn't
do
that:
you're,
not
even
like
reaching
out
beyond
300
feet,
so
it
doesn't
feel
like
you're
trying
to
be
part
of
our
community,
and
maybe
you
are,
but
that's
just
how
it
feels
we
were
hoping
you'd,
be
able
to
help
solve
our
problems
and
now
you're
just
saying:
well
we're
not
going
to
contribute
to
your
problems.
So
it's
just
we're
all
getting.
I
think
we're
all
feeling
pretty
offended
by
that.
W
The
only
proposal
you
proposed
was
don't
take
a
right
on
red,
but
you
didn't
do
a
traffic
study
at
brighton
street.
Why
wasn't
that
done?
Obviously
pretty
coveted.
It
is
so
much
worse
here
at
the
pre-coveted
it'll
go
right
back
to
normal.
We
have
like
18
wheelers
coming
down
this
street
and
it
just
locks
it
up
all
the
way
to
somerville.
W
So
my
question
is
what
happened
to
the
parking
lot
at
off
clifton
place?
I
didn't
see
that
today
has
that
been
taking
off,
because
I
remember
that
being
there
from
before
chris
had
asked
earlier,
who
funded
the
traffic
study.
So
I
don't
think
we
got
an
answer
on
that
and
I
had
another
question.
You
have
charlestown
residents
as
being
part
of
your
employees,
which
is
great,
but
are
they
gonna
come
drive
over
and
park
on
our
streets
because
you're
not
letting
them
park
at
your
lot?
W
X
X
X
Do
a
traffic
study
there
you
go
ahead
and
do
a
traffic
study,
but
it
is
focused
all
on
cambridge
street.
I
mean
what
happened
there
right
like
you're,
you
say
you're
listening
to
us,
but
we're
not
being
heard
and
whether
it
is
nikki
not
hearing
us
or
the
city,
not
hearing
us,
but
we
are
not
being
heard
here.
B
B
In
doing
these
types
of
things,
we
asked
them
what
they
thought.
The
scope
should
be.
They
provided
their
expertise
with
this.
You
know
we
we
relied
on
that,
and
you
know
beyond
that.
I'm
not
sure
we
understand
the
concerns,
we're
not
going
to
have
our
employees
park
in
the
neighborhood.
We
have
a
lot
of
ideas
for
doing
that.
We
can
subsidize
their
transportation.
B
C
I
try
to
add
one
thing
is
so
when
I
reached
out
and
asked
for
the
study
I
I
thought
it
was
going
to
include
all
of
those
streets,
but
the
way
it
was
designed
by
the
experts
was
to
not
include
those
streets.
I
don't
know
why
you'd
have
to
reach
out
to
the
city
on
that,
but
I
made
sure
they
got
it
done
because,
as
I
told
you
guys
before,
I
couldn't
afford
it.
C
Q
C
A
percent
of
that
goes
to
the
equity
fund,
so
if
the
three
percent
fund
goes
to
boston,
I
don't
believe
all
three
percent
of
that
goes
to
the
community
and
that's
why
I
set
up
that
trust
and
the
only
reason
I
set
up
the
trust
is
because,
because
I
don't
live
there,
you
guys
know
better
than
I
do
where
the
money
should
go.
I'm
not
going
to
come
in
and
say
lights
are
the
solution,
as
you
guys
can
see.
Other
people
who
have
the
control
of
the
money.
C
K
Hey,
can
you
guys
hear
me
yep,
so
I
have
a
comment
and
a
couple
questions
I've
been
in
the
neighborhood
for
about
six
years
now
so
first,
the
comment
I
agree
with
any
concerns
about
stark
street.
In
particular,
it's
a
confusing
intersection
given
its
offset
from
parker
street
and
I'd.
Ask
that
any
increased
usage
of
it
be
done
so
carefully,
both
from
a
pedestrian
and
a
traffic.
You
know
a
traffic
perspective.
B
B
We
cannot
just
like
a
liquor
store
or
a
bar
can't
control
people
when
they
get
off
the
premises,
we're
all.
Under
that
same
situation,
we
probably
have
a
little
higher
burden
in
that
regard,
because
the
state
regulations
require
us
to
ensure
that,
for
example,
there's
no
on-site
consumption
and
we
take
additional
steps
to
be
vigilant
about
where
our
customers
are
going
and
warn
them
not
to
be
creating
a
nuisance
in
the
neighborhood.
This
is
again.
B
B
Quite
frankly,
we
do
and
we
will-
and-
and
so
you
know
and
other
things
you
know-
of
not
having
littering
it's
something
as
simple
as
that,
we've
got
to
maintain
this
facility
without
nuisance
to
the
neighborhood
or
we
lose
our
license.
That's
just
that's
the
way
the
regulations
are
so
I
I
think
you
should
have
some
assurance.
B
It
ultimately
costs
quite
a
bit
of
money
to
get
a
license
in
the
city
of
boston
or
for
that
matter
in
any
community,
because
there's
so
many
development
costs
to
doing
these
types
of
businesses
and
all
of
the
licensing
and
all
of
the
engineering,
architects
etc.
It's
just
not
something
you
go
into
and
then
just
let
everything
outside
the
facility
diminish
you've
got
to
maintain
it.
It's
just
one
of
the
key
aspects
of
this
under
our
regulations.
A
O
Good
evening,
everyone
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
small
correction
about
the
three
percent
going
to
the
equity
fund,
the
three
percent,
as
attorney
delaney
hawkins,
stated,
the
three
percent
goes
directly
to
the
community.
The
city
is
taking
a
matching
three
percent
from
other
sources
of
of
the
cities
and
and
that
matching
percentage
is
what's
going
into
the
equity
fund.
O
There's
a
time
period
for
that,
and
it
goes
from
the
matching
three
percent
down
to
half
a
percent
during
the
duration
of
I
believe
it's
until
2024
or
until
the
fund
reaches
five
million
dollars.
So
I
just
wanted
to
make
that
clarification
that
the
hc
hca
fund,
funding
or
the
hca
fees
excuse
me
are
not
going
directly
towards
the
equity
fund.
A
Y
Y
I
think
you
know
I
tried
to
search
on
the
website
and
email,
a
bunch
of
different
places
called
different
people.
City
clerk,
neighborhood
services,
I
didn't
even
know
quinlan-
was
gone-
tried
to
find
out
what
the
situation
was
with
the
31
cambridge
location,
which
does
you
know
we
have
to
be
informed.
I
mean
we're
a
community
here
and
we
can't
make
decisions
unless
we're
informed.
Y
You
know
also
we're
seeing
a
lot
of
I've
heard
on
a
few
occasions.
We
followed
the
requirements
and
that
just
sounds
like
a
lot
of.
We
did
the
bare
minimum
kind
of
thing
like
you
got
to
go
above
and
beyond.
You
got
to
listen
to
the
people
who
are
in
the
community.
People
have
lived
here
for
a
long
time
and
who
know
what
the
traffic
situation
is,
and
I
know
that
it
was
kind
of
the
bare
minimum,
because
you
didn't
even
mention
parker
street
or
brighton
street
in
your
traffic
study.
Y
B
I
I
think
we've
we've
addressed,
we
hear
it.
We
understand
that
we
again
we
do
the
things
that
we
are
asked
to
do
and
in
terms
of
the
traffic
study,
we
rely
on
the
professionals
for
that
from
the
city.
You
know,
and
I
I
don't
know
what
more
to
say
about
it
than
that.
Obviously
we
are
not
experts
in
in
traffic
management.
That's
why
we
went
to
the
city
for
assistance
and
the
city
worked
on
figuring
out
what
scope
of
work
should
be
done
and
and
is
paying
for
it.
B
Z
Hi
I
live
on
the
corner
of
pocket
in
brighton.
I've
lived
in
my
whole
life
and
I
agree
with
everything
that
my
neighbors
have
to
say
and
I
didn't
get
any
communication
about
this
meeting
until
I
got
the
email
from
dave.
You
know
which
is
concerning,
and
I
know,
there's
just
a
lot
of
things
going
on
the
the
cars
whipping
across
the
corner
between
brighton
and
parker
at
five
o'clock
in
the
morning.
Sometimes
I
can't
even
get
out
of
my
driveway.
My
son
almost
got
ran
over
coming
home
from
the
bus.
Z
Z
I
don't
want
to
go
over
what
everyone
said,
but
it's
I
don't
think
really
in
the
end,
people
really
care
about
what
happens
in
our
neighborhood
because,
like
brian
says,
we've
been
asking
for
all
this
help
all
this
time.
Now,
all
of
a
sudden
you
want
to
be
in
there
and
then
all
of
a
sudden
we're
getting
likes
and-
and
things
like
that,
we
just
don't
need
a
business
like
this
in
sullivan
square.
Maybe
it
needs
to
be
somewhere
else
in
charlestown,
but
I
I
definitely
can't
support
it.
Z
I
work
hard
to
live
here
and
I
want
to
continue
to
live
here.
I
don't
want
to
have
to
move
because
of
things
like
this,
and
this
is
what
happened:
we're
being
forced
out
and
squeezed
out,
because
people
are
selfish
and-
and
you
know
giving
us
three
percent
three
percent
of
what
I
mean.
I
don't
think
that's
that
our
neighbors
even
care
about
any
of
that
I'd
rather
have
nothing.
AA
AA
I
live
directly
on
the
corner
of
papa
street,
so
I
hear
the
cars
that
start
coming
at
five
in
the
morning
and
it
goes
till
nine
in
the
rush
hour
now
I
did
my
own
study
the
other
morning
for
five
minutes.
I
counted
the
cars
that
turned
the
corner
onto
parker
street.
They
were
26
in
five
minutes.
23
of
them
came
from
93
three
were
from
the
neighborhood.
AA
Now
I
do
have
a
question
for
bill.
There
is
a
restriction
on
the
term
coming
off
of
mount
pleasant
on
into
our
neighborhood
from
six
to
nine
in
the
morning,
somerville's
been
enforcing
that
in
the
last
week
or
so,
but
they
usually
don't
do
that.
I'm
not
sure
why
they're
doing
it
all
of
a
sudden,
but
if
that's,
I
think
we
need
to
take
a
look
at
that
that
that
is
not
enforced.
AA
I
don't
know
if
that's
somerville's
problem
or
boston's
problem,
but
so
and
there's
a
you
made
a
comment
bill
too
about
doing
a
study
about
the
the
traffic
formation
and
the
way
you
have
the
the
streets
aligned.
Here.
I
will
tell
you
about
two
weeks
ago
a
plow
took
the
corner
on
cardboard
street
and
took
out
an
entire
fence.
Thank
god.
Nobody
was
walking
on
that
sidewalk
and
also
removing
the
one
way
up
into
somerville
is
is
a
disaster.
AA
In
my
opinion,
I
watched
pads
fly
up
there
up
that
one
way
constantly
it
becomes
a
cut
through
to
93..
So
I
would
plead
with
you
to
include
us
that
live
in
the
neighborhood,
if
you're
going
to
do
any
changes
to
the
current
flow
of
what's
going
on
here
in
the
neighborhood,
I
mean
a
new
business.
I
would
welcome
it,
but
we
need
to
address
this
because
it's
going
to
bring
more
traffic.
A
Q
C
D
Yeah
we
we
can
certainly
take
a
look
at
that
and
again
I
think
it's
it's
it's
it's
important
that
maybe
I
didn't
you
know
I
I
failed
in
terms
of
you
know
representing
why
we
do
the
studies.
The
way
that
we
do
and
the
bottom
line
is
that
you
know
the
reason
we
look
at
the
morning
in
the
evening
and
the
saturday
peaks
is
that
we
want
to
look
at
the
busiest
period
of
the
road
look
at
what
the
you
know.
D
The
combination
of
the
busiest
existing
traffic
volumes
plus
the
busiest
hours
of
the
store-
and
it
creates
kind
of
the
worst
case
scenario
I
mean
we
can
we
can
give
you
how
much
you
know
volume
we
do
it
two
in
the
afternoon
or
at
you
know,
8
30.
In
the
evening
it's
gonna
it's
going
to
be
less
than
than
during
those
peak
hours.
That's
why
we
look
at
that.
It's
not
that
we're
trying
to
you
know
ignore
the
other
hours
of
the
day.
The
bottom
line
is
we
look
at
the
the
worst
case
scenario.
D
Make
sure
that
that
operation,
we
don't
have
an
impact
there.
I'm
saying
that
during
the
other
time
periods
the
impacts
are
less,
but
we
can
certainly,
you
know,
go
through
the
daily
numbers
and
give
you
that
estimate.
You
know
it's
certainly
gonna
be
higher
than
the
peak
hours,
but
we
can
provide
that
for
sure.
A
N
Thank
you
and
thank
you
for
everyone,
who's
still
hanging
on
with
us
here
tonight.
So
in
terms
of
the
timeline,
once
there
is
a
completed
application,
they
will
be
put
on
the
next
available
agenda,
because
this
is
an
equity
applicant
and
the
board's
charged
with
ensuring
that
equity
applicants
are
heard.
At
you
know,
at
a
quick
rate,
I
will
say
that,
as
part
of
that
there
were
a
legal
notice
placed
and
all
a
butters
within
a
300
foot
radius
will
be
notified.
N
The
even
though
quinlan
lock
is
no
longer
with
the
mayor's
office
of
neighborhood
services,
and
we
do
thank
him
for
all
of
his
hard
work.
We
will
make
sure
that
any
hearing
notice
is
pushed
out
to
all
of
the
neighborhood
associations
and
all
interested
parties
and
pat,
is
here
to
ensure
that
happens,
but
we
will
work
diligently
to
ensure
that
there
is
appropriate
notice
to
the
community.
AB
AB
AB
AB
That
is
true,
but
one
thing
that
concerns
me
is
the
owner.
Property
does
a
very
large
industrial
building
right
next
door.
So
I
see
this
retail.
You
know
these
things
do
very
well.
If
it
does
well
now
we
expand.
Now
we
get
the
supply
chain
from
beginning
to
end
and
I
think
the
last
thing
when
we
talk
about
you
know
some
of
my
neighbors
yeah.
AB
AC
AC
That
will
do
that
and
if
he
could
expand
on
that
a
little
bit.
I
believe
it's
going
to
change
the
way
cars
are
able
to
get
into
charlestown
it's
going
to
eliminate
the
total
number
of
cars
coming
into
charlestown,
so
people
won't
have
to
cut
through
with.
I
think
they
were
planning
on
changing
some
of
the
roadways
so
that
access
through
the
you
know
the
lost
village
through
that
parker
street
mafia
way
would
be
eliminated.
AC
So
if
he
could
comment
on
that
and
then
as
far
as
my
brother
and
I
are
concerned
on
the
property
we've
had
that
building
up
for
for
a
couple
of
years
we're
not
getting
any
any
rent
revenue
from
owning
that
property,
but
if
the
project
doesn't
go
through
we're
not
threatening
anything,
it's
just
that
it's
business.
We
need
to
lease
that
building
out
now,
a
perfect
thing
to
be.
There
would
be
like
7-eleven,
especially
since
cobble
hill
was
closed
down
a
few
years
ago.
AC
There
isn't
a
variety
store
other
than
the
gas
station
and
and
the
liquor
store
on
all
of
cambridge
street
and
down
through
in
washington
street
down
into
salt
union
square.
So
we
could
put
that
there
we've
had
we've
had
people
approach
us
so
would
a
sm.
You
know
the
amount
of
cars
that
maybe
would
be
from
a
variety
store.
Maybe
that
would
be
worse.
Maybe
it
wouldn't,
but
we
need
to
you
know
we're
doing.
What's
economic
for
us,
we're
not
we're
not
threatening
the
neighborhood,
we're
not
threatening
our
neighbors.
AC
We,
you
know
we
try
to
be
good
neighbors.
We
got
the
mbta
to
get
rid
of
all
of
the
overgrowth
and
brush
at
the
end
of
our
property.
Up
towards
the
you
know
where
we
had
a
problem
with
vagrants
and
and
graffiti,
which
still
is
a
problem.
We
pay
to
get
that
cleaned
up
all
the
time
we
keep
our
sidewalks
clean.
We
plow
the
snow.
I
personally
go
around
in
my
truck
and
I'm
I'm
cleaning
snow
in
sullivan
square.
AC
A
J
I
I
But
in
no
way
are
we
going
to
be
preventing
people
to
be
using
cambridge
street
marvel
or
broadway
we're,
creating
a
grid
system
in
solvent
square,
we're,
keeping
the
underpass
in
sullivan
square
as
well
we're
keeping
the
austin
street
underpass
as
well.
We
are
making
a
roadway
diet,
and
that
is
a
whole
other
here,
that's
a
whole
other
level
of
a
meeting
and
that
meeting
just
so
the
people
on
this
call
that
would
be
a
25
public
hearing
with
mass
d.o.t.
I
I'm
hoping
that
we
would
have
that
public
meeting
sometime
in
april
now,
but
that's
that
project
and,
as
I
alluded
to
earlier,
you
know
I'm
doing
everything
in
my
power
to
get
the
six
locations
that
we
I
spoke
about
earlier
for
the
lost
village
completed
by
this
fall.
So
we
would
start
the
fall.
I
have
the
commitment
by
the
chief
on
that.
It
looks
as
though
it's
a
go
and
we
can
have
a
sidebar
meeting
on
that
as
well.
I
mean
I
understand
the
communities
you
know
I
I
can
understand.
I
I
think
we
they
did
somewhat
of
a
good
job
with
the
signage,
but
you
know
I
I
hear
the
community
so
and
I
understand
this
traffic,
and
I
understand
that
you
know
encore
is
contributing
to
a
lot
of
that
traffic,
but
the
traffic
volumes
believe
it
or
not-
did
not
really
blow
up
that.
I
thought
they
were
going
to
blow
up
with
encore
at
one
point
in
time.
Just
to
be
clear
and
frank,
I
thought,
with
the
encore
casino
that
the
on-ramp
would
back
up
to
I-93.
I
I
So
we
have
the
six
location
intersections
that
we'll
have
a
meeting
with
I'll
bring
someone
else
with
me
from
public
works
with
that
meeting
on
that
meeting,
we'll
discuss
what
we
plan
on
doing
in
in
the
lost
village
and
then,
as
as
I
alluded
to
with
the
larger
project,
with
mass
d.o.t
and
federal
highway,
that's
a
whole
other
level,
so
that
project,
as
I
said
somewhere
later
in
2022
23
and
that's
a
a
four
year
project
four
to
five
year
project.
Okay,
thank
you.
A
F
Thank
you
bill.
Actually,
that's
kind
of
what
I
was
gonna
ask
about.
If,
if
maybe
you
know,
I
don't
know,
if
it's
possible,
I
was
touching
some
of
our
community
members
during
this
call.
When
we
heard
about
this,
you
know
this
money
allocated
for
our
area.
It
was
a
surprise
to
all
of
us.
You
know
I
guess,
depending
on
what
you're
planning
it
might
ameliorate
some
or
many
of
our
concerns
with
this
proposal.
F
T
Oh,
I
didn't
have
a
question
so
much
as
a
comment
about
the
about
the
notice
for
this
meeting,
because
we
have-
and
we
we've
talked
to
neighborhood
services
and
bpda
about
this
before
about
trying
to
make
sure
we're
not
scheduling
too
too
many
meetings
in
a
week
and
this
these
are
two
conflicting
meetings
in
one
night.
So
I
I'm
wondering
what
you
and
I
I
know
this-
I
don't
want
to
take
away
from
the
people
that
need
to
ask
questions
about
this.
T
I
have
been
you
know
listening
in
on
some
of
it,
but
you
know
the
city
has
to
do
a
better
job.
We're
a
small
neighborhood
and
we've
got
a
lot
going
on
here.
We
have
three
very
large
development
projects.
We've
got
this.
We
have,
you
know
another,
a
number
of
smaller
development
projects
and
there's
just
just
a
lot
going
on,
and
we
can't
keep
doing
this
especially
you
know
this
is
a.
T
This
is
a
some
a
hearing
where
we
should
be
able
to
ask
a
lot
of
questions
and
in
the
meantime
it's
do
we
choose
that.
Or
do
we
choose
how
you
know
bunker
hill
mall
is
going
to
be
redeveloped
right.
So
what?
What
can
the
city
do
about
that?
And
I
see
you
sent
me
like
a
little
note
just
to
ask
the
cannabis
board,
but
you
guys
all
work
together
for
the
city.
I
I
can't
run
around
trying
to
coordinate
your
schedules.
A
Yeah,
thank
you
for
that
question
nancy.
I
totally
understand
I
know
I
like
I
said
I
covered
dorchester,
there's
a
lot
of
similar
bpda
projects.
Community
meetings
all
happening
at
the
same
time,
so
I
completely
understand
where
you're
coming
from
I
apologize
for
any
inconvenience.
These
meetings
are
scheduled
based
on
ons
calendars.
There
was
you
know,
quinlan
leaving
someone
had
to
pick
it
up.
I'm
facilitating
this
meeting
looking
forward
I'll
pass
along
that
message
to
our
office
superiors,
but.
N
Just
to
jump
in
here
from
there
from
the
cannabis
board
perspective,
we
completely
understand
that
there
are
many
things
going
on
in
your
communities
and
there
are
many
independent
boards
right.
There's
the
licensing
board,
the
zoning
board,
the
bpda
there
are
so
many
things
happening,
and
we
get
that
and
that's
one
of
the
reasons
that
we're
really
working
hard
to
make
our
hearings
even
during
covenant
as
accessible
as
possible.
A
V
Club
was
an
issue,
and
that
was
the
main
issue
at
the
november
meeting,
and
now
nikki
has
killed
herself
bringing
all
this
information.
You
know,
and
all
these
peoples
on
board
and
the
neighborhood's
still
not
happy
what
I'm
hearing
is.
I'm
not
hearing
anything
about
what
a
great
you
know.
Job
nikki
is
doing
in
trying
to
do
everything
for
the
neighborhood.
V
All
I'm
hearing
is
about
traffic,
which
nikki
can't
change
that
you
know,
and
it's
only
a
small.
You
know
it's
not
a
large
business
like
all
I
can
think
of.
Is
I
lived
down
there
on
29
brighton
street
for
many
years
and
something
worse
could
go
in
over
there,
which
would
make
the
neighborhood
traffic
even
crazier.
I
mean
what
happens
if
the
bunker
hill
community
health
center
decided
to
put
a
much
larger
building
down
there.
That's
going
to
truly
impact
the
traffic.
R
You
you
had
a
follow-up
on
this
traffic
study
and
so
just
even
to
marry.
I
think
everyone
in
the
community
feels
neglected,
because
we
just
found
out
about
this,
like
no
one,
there's
no
outreach
and
I
think
to
reiterate
your
prior
point.
It
feels
like
the
bare
minimum
and
so
going
back
to
the
traffic
study.
I
just
want
to
know.
Was
there
any
consideration
given
to
the
fact
that
this
will
be
within
one
mile
of
a
casino?
I
know
you
use
other
massachusetts
properties
as
comps.
D
Yeah,
I'm
not
sure,
maybe
you
can
clarify
what
what
your
concern
is.
Most
of
the
to
the
proximity
of
the
casino.
I
mean
we
when
we
did
the
comps
and
when
we
factored
the
volumes
up,
we
account
for
the
casino
traffic.
So
it's
it's
cooked,
it's
cooked
into
the
analysis,
but
I
don't
I'm
not
sure
I'm
following
what
what
what
impact
the
casinos
productivity
would
have
other
than
that,
it's
near
that
that
it
certainly
draws
traffic
and
we've
accounted
for
that
it's
it's
in
the
counts
and
so
forth.
R
I
I
question
it
and
it's
actually
in
the
account,
so
I
mean
nothing
too
is
no
one's.
Seen
this
report
other
than
the
couple
slides
you
shared
with
us
tonight
and
the
city
I
mean
the
casino
wasn't
even
open
that
long
before
everything
shut
down.
So
I
think
it's
hard
to
say
I
mean
their
projections
were
saying:
50
000
cars
on
a
weekend
traveling
through
this
area.
So
you,
if
you
don't
think
that
people
going
to
50
000
people
going
there
over
the
weekend.
R
If
there's
not
even
a
small,
like
10
percent
of
them,
want
to
come
drive
up
the
street
yeah,
that's
5000
extra
cars
in
the
weekend.
I
just
think
it's
kind
of
glazing
over
the
fact
that
this
is
going
to
be
the
only
place
a
mile
away
from
a
casino
and
then
to
kind
of
like
benefit
to
the
land.
They've
been
trying
to
create
a
pot
shop
here
for
three
years
or
a
month.
Now
it
was.
It
was
someone
else
before
this
is
going
out.
R
Clearly
they
see
value,
and
today
it's
going
to
be
a
negligible
impact
on.
I
think
it
is
a
gross
statement
if
the
what
the
business
projects
there's
a
reason
that
they
want.
They
want
this
location
right.
They
fought
with
the
neighborhood.
They
got
put
down
last
time
because
of
their
lack
of
connection
and
they're
here
again,
because
they
think
there's
significant
demand
and
traffic
in
this
location.
I
I
mean,
if
you're
not
going
to
open
a
business,
unless
you
think
you're
gonna
be
able
to
drive
significant
foot
traffic,
you
don't
just.
B
If
I
can
respond
to
that
again,
you're
correct,
we
do
think
that
there's
going
to
be
a
robust
business
here,
we
think
it's
along
the
lines
of
mr
kelly's
telling
you.
We
think
we'll
do
very
well
with
that,
but
he's
also
telling
you
that
he
doesn't
think
that
that's
a
a
significant
impact
on
the
overall
traffic,
we're
not
responsible
for
the
casino
traffic.
That's
a
separate
issue!
What
a
traffic
study
is
telling
you
in
my
view,
is
two
things
one.
Yes,
we
will
get
traffic
that
can
support
this
business
and
two.
A
Thank
you
and
I
just
make
a
note
about
the
outreach.
I
can't
speak
to
outreach
beyond
the
statutory
requirements,
but
this
application
has
fulfilled
every
step
of
outreach
required
by
the
cannabis
control
commission
in
the
boston,
cannabis
board.
They
were
flyers,
they
did
certify
300
feet
and
they
did
have
a
posting
in
a
newspaper
of
general
speculation,
two
weeks
in
advance
of
this
meeting
beyond
that,
I
can't
speak
to
it,
but
they
have
satisfied
the
requirements
for
the
city
of
boston.
A
Two
and
a
half
hours
apologize
my
mouth,
I
know
I
think
we're
about
two
and
a
half
hours
into
this
meeting.
At
this
point,
I
think
it
would
be
appropriate
to
end
it,
and
I
can
put
some
follow-up
information
to
check
with
my
contacts,
but
I
will
turn
it
over
to
the
team
representatives
from
the
city
if
there
are
final
comments
at
this
point.
N
And
and
pat
I
just
want
to
jump
in
there
again.
This
is
leslie
from
the
boston
cannabis
board.
We
really
appreciate
both
the
applicant
and
everyone
who's
been
president
tonight
I
am
here
tonight.
I
don't
attend
all
of
the
community
meetings.
I
know
there
were
a
number
of
procedural
questions
that
were
raised
and
I
want
to
make
it
very
clear
that
the
boston
tennis
board
and
our
staff
we
are
here
for
any
questions
you
have
as
residents
we're
here
for
any
questions
you
have
applicants,
but
I
do
want
to
make
it
very
clear.
N
This
applicant
has
done
everything
that
we're
asked
to
do
that
doesn't
speak
to
the
to
the
merits
of
their
application,
but
just
in
terms
of
any
questions
about
their
filings
with
the
board
or
their
notifications
of
the
neighborhood,
they
have
absolutely
done
everything
we've
asked
them
to
and
that
is
required.
I
will
also
say
that
the
board
will
take
everything
into
consideration
that
is
submitted.
So
again
I
put
the
cannabis
boards
email
into
the
chat.
Please
reach
out
to
us.
N
B
Yeah
we
just
want
to
thank
everybody.
We
we
really
do
hear
the
comments
and-
and
we
want
to
work
with
you,
you
know
we
take
to
heart
everything,
you're
saying
what
we've,
what
we've
tried
to
get
across
is
that
the
notion
that
this
is
just
gonna.
This
alone
is
going
to
create
a
lot
of
additional
problems.
B
We
don't
see
that,
and-
and
you
know
this
was
independently
done-
a
traffic
study
that
I
think
verifies
that
so
what
we
can
promise
you
is,
if
that
we're
fortunate
enough
to
go
forward.
We
will
work
with
you
we're
happy
by
the
way,
if
you
want
to
reach
out
in
the
meantime
before
anything
else
happens
and
ask
further
questions
and
talk
to
us,
we'd
love
to
talk
to
you
and
work
with
you.
You'll
you'll
have
a
good
partner
going
forward.
If
we're
fortunate
enough
to
be
able
to
proceed
here
thanks.
Everyone.
C
I
just
want
to
quickly
thank
everyone
for
coming.
I
want
to
thank
my
landlords,
part
of
why
I
picked
this
location
is
because
they
are
patient
with
me.
There's
not
a
lot
of
opportunities
for
equity
applicants.
If
you
can't
pay
your
rent
for
a
year,
there's
not
a
lot
of
patient
people
who
will
allow
you
to
go
through
the
process
and
go
back
to
the
community.
