Disability Commission Advisory Board Meeting 8-28-19

I
I
Evening,
my
name
is
Lily
link,
I'm,
a
Tufts
graduate
student
studying
urban
and
environmental
planning
and
policy
and
summer
I
was
a
fellow
at
the
mayor's
office
of
new
urban
mechanics
working
on
some
road
safety
initiatives,
and
so
tonight,
I'm
gonna
tell
you
about
an
event
that
we
are
planning
for
September
and
I.
Look
forward
to
hearing
your
input
on
how
we
can
make
this
the
best
event.
I
It
could
possibly
be
so
to
give
you
some
quick
background,
I'm
sure
that
you
all
know
that
in
2015,
mayor
Walsh
committed
the
city
of
Boston
to
join
vision,
zero,
which
is
an
international
movement
to
eliminate
traffic
fatalities
and
committed
the
city
to
zero
fatalities
by
2030.
We
also
know
that
one
of
the
main
causes
of
traffic
fatalities
is
distracted
driving
so
a
few
months
ago
you
some
of
you
may
know
Mafra
it's
an
auto
insurance
company
international
company
based
in
Spain.
I
They
have
sort
of
a
philanthropic
wing
called
fundació
and
Mafra,
and
they
have
launched
a
massive
campaign
to
end
distracted
driving.
So,
a
few
months
ago,
they
reached
out
to
Charlotte
Fleetwood
in
the
transportation
department
and
asked
her
to
help
them
plan
a
public
education
event
about
ending
distracted
driving.
I
So
as
part
of
my
project,
this
summer,
Charlotte
and
I
work
together
very
closely,
and
we
both
felt
that
there
was
an
opportunity
here
to
expand
the
event
to
look
beyond
just
distracted
driving
and
to
really
create
a
holistic
event
that
enabled
attendees
to
experience
the
road
from
all
different
types
of
road
users,
perspectives
in
the
hope
of
building
empathy
and
ultimately
creating
better
habits
for
drivers
for
bicyclists
and
for
pedestrians.
So
in
collaboration
with
ma
Frey,
with
many
different
departments
here
in
city
hall
and
with
CTP
Boston,
which
is
a
local
advertising
agency.
I
We
are
hosting
look
both
ways:
Boston,
which
is
gonna,
be
right
here
on
City
Hall
on
Thursday,
September,
19th
and
Friday
September
20th
from
12
noon,
until
6:30
p.m.
and
there's
about
three
primary
stations
that
will
be
at
this
event,
the
first
of
which
is
a
customized
VR
experience
that
has
been
designed
just
for
us
for
this
event,
which
will
test
players
ability
to
handle
distractions
while
driving.
There
will
be
three
levels.
I
They'll
also
be
hosting
a
bike
rodeo
and
the
other
station,
which
I'm
sort
of
in
charge
of
putting
together,
which
I
hope
to
get
your
input
on,
is
going
to
be
an
interactive
City
streetscape.
So
this
is
just
for
those
of
you
who
can
see
the
TV
up
there.
This
is
sort
of
an
example
of
what
we
have
in
mind.
We
will
literally
be
taping
out
a
to-scale
City
streetscape,
which
will
feature
three
traffic
lanes.
I
Two
bike
lanes
parking
Lane
and
we
will
have
a
variety
of
vehicles
and
bicycles
and
pedestrians
of
different
heights
and
abilities
on
this
streetscape
to
sort
of
essentially
freeze
a
morning
commute
in
time,
and
each
portion
of
this
streetscape
will
have
an
interactive
component.
So,
for
example,
we
will
have
a
Public
Works,
garbage
truck
parked
and
attendees
will
be
able
to
get
into
the
truck
and
to
experience
just
how
poor
the
visibility
really
is.
I
We'll
have
the
blind
spots
taped
out
with
cutouts
of
individuals
of
different
heights,
including
an
individual
at
the
typical
wheelchair
height,
to
allow
people
to
understand
just
how
far
away
from
a
garbage
truck
they
really
need
to
be.
In
order
to
be
seen,
we
will
also
have
bike
lanes
of
two
different
styles:
a
protected
bike
lane
and
an
unprotected
bike
lane,
which
people
will
be
able
to
ride
through
and
experience
the
difference
in
sort
of
that
feeling
of
safety
from
one
or
the
other.
I
In
addition,
mi
t--'s
age
lab
will
be
loaning
us
their
agnes
suit,
which,
when
wearing
it,
the
wearer
is
able
to
experience
what
it's
like
to
be
a
typical
75
to
80
year
old
individual,
and
we
will
allow
people
to
walk
through
the
streetscape
in
this
suit.
To
experience
the
challenges
of,
for
example,
crossing
a
crosswalk
in
the
typical
10
seconds
allotted.
I
They
will
also
be
bringing
goggles
that
recreate
a
variety
of
visual
impairments,
including
tunnel
vision
and
decreased
acuity,
as
well
as
a
number
of
other
ones
that
I'm
forgetting
off
the
top
of
my
head
at
the
moment,
and
there
will
be
about
20
pairs
of
those
goggles
as
well.
That
people
will
be
able
to
walk
on,
wear
and
walk
through
the
streetscape
to
sort
of
experience.
I
In
terms
of
its
relevance
to
you
all,
there's
sort
of
two
main
things
I
wanted
to
touch
on
first
off,
as
I
mentioned
through
the
use
of
things
like
the
agnes
suit
and
the
goggles.
We
hope
that
those
who
perhaps
are
not
wheelchair
users
will
be
able
to
gain
a
better
understanding
of
what
going
through.
I
Boston
streets
are
like
for
someone
who
is
in
a
wheelchair
or
someone
who
does
not
have
a
visual
impairment
will
be
able
to
better
understand
what
it's
like
for
people
who
do
and
then
for
attendees
who
are
themselves
wheelchair
users
or
who
are
visually
impaired.
We
are
doing
our
best
to
try
to
make
the
event
accessible
for
them
and
that's
something
that
that
I
hope
we
can
touch
on
tonight
as
well,
and
I
can
get
your
feedback
to
ensure
that
this
is
an
event
that
everyone
can
attend
and
enjoy
and
get
something
out
of.
I
J
I
We
are
planning
to
have
the
tactile
strips,
it
will
be
flat,
so
the
majority
of
the
streetscape
will
be
represented
through
the
use
of
tape
and
these
clings,
which
are
essentially
massive,
durable
stickers
that
will
temporarily
sort
of
create
the
streetscape.
But
it
will
be
a
flat
area,
so
there
we
will
not
be
able
to
demonstrate.
K
K
I
G
I
I
Thank
you
and
the
yeah
the
following
day:
Friday
September
20th
at
noon
on
Friday
September
20th,
we'll
have
a
brief
speaking
program
with
some
of
the
partners
from
ma
fray.
Hopefully,
mayor
Walsh
fingers
crossed
can't
make
any
promises
about
that,
as
well
as
some
folks
from
the
Transportation
Department.
C
I
B
D
One
per
minute,
I
didn't
thank
you
for
your
presentation.
I
understand
that
you
are
trying
to
recreate
some
experiences
of
people
with
disabilities
and
try
to
increase
the
awareness
of
pedestrians.
That
way,
I
was
wondering
if
there
are
also
efforts
on
the
other
side,
like,
for
example,
how
to
increase
the
awareness
of
pedestrians
for
their
own
safety
as
well.
D
I
A
very
question:
thank
you.
We
will
have
a
variety
of
handouts
right
now.
At
this
point.
They
are
only
slotted
to
be
in
English
and
Spanish.
So,
ideally,
we
would
love
to
have
more
languages
represented,
particularly
you
know:
Haitian
Creole,
Cantonese
Vietnamese,
some
of
the
languages
that
we
know
are
really
prevalent
in
the
city.
Unfortunately,
we
do
not
currently
have
the
capacity
to
represent
quite
that
many
languages,
but
we
will
have
pamphlets
and
signage
in
Spanish,
as
well
as
English.
I
Visual
impairments
for
the
goggles,
so
unfortunately
just
from
a
logistical
standpoint.
The
age
suit
takes
five
to
ten
minutes
to
actually
put
on,
and
then
you
know
we
want
to
give
people
another
ten
or
so
minutes
in
the
suit.
So
for
people
who
either
a
are
themselves
unable
to
get
into
the
suit
or
for
people
who
just
don't
have
the
time
to
wait
around
for
their
turn,
the
goggles
would
be
sort
of
a
quicker
experience
that
you
would
be
able
to.
B
L
D
L
Like
that
and
I
don't
know
if
there
are
or
if
anyone
is
familiar,
if
there
are
other
simulation
experiences
of
say
with
obstacles
or
curb
just
to
see
what
that
what
reality
would
be
like
if
you're
going
forward
in
a
situation
and
suddenly
there's
not
an
opportunity
to
be
able
to.
There
are
barriers.
I
Something
we're
still
in
the
process
of
pursuing
is
getting
volunteers
from
an
organization
like
empower
who
they
teach
wheelchair
skills,
and
so
we
are
we've
reached
out
to
them,
as
well
as
a
number
of
other
organizations
that
do
similar
things
to
sort
of
do.
A
demonstration
on
the
challenges
of
using
city,
streets
and
sidewalks
that
are
not
necessarily
always
well
designed
for
people
either
in
a
wheelchair
or
with
mobility
issues.
So
that's
something
that
we
hope
to
be
able
to
include,
and
that
is
still
sort
of
in
progress.
I.
L
I
Particularly
hope
to
take
advantage
of
the
fact
that
the
City
Hall
plaza
features
three
different
types
of
surfaces.
So
right
in
a
row,
we
have
the
old
brick,
the
new
brick
and
the
asphalt,
and
that
will
be
incorporated
into
our
streetscape
as
well
to
show
people
the
different
ways
that
really,
like
you
said,
any
sort
of
wheeled,
whether
it's
a
wheelchair
or
a
stroller,
or
even
just
a
luggage
or
a
grocery
cart.
B
E
I
We
do
we
have
filled
out
an
EMS
application.
Ultimately
it
will
be
their
judgment,
call
as
to
what
kind
of
precautions
need
to
be
taken
in
terms
of
how
intensive
the
on-site
care
needs
to
be,
but
we
will
have
all
of
those
the
streetscape
will
be
highly
supervised,
so
no
one
will
be
sort
of
wandering
alone
with
it,
with
the
visual
impairment
goggles
on
but
yeah.
We
are
currently
in
conversation
with
EMS
about
how
intensive
the
care
that
we
have
available
needs.
H
B
H
M
That
I
spoke
to
Commissioner
Micajah
about
in
great
detail,
and
she
was
very
concerned
about
it
and
she
felt
that
it
was
important
enough
for
me
to
come,
and
you
know
talk
to
the
Commission,
and
this
is
wrapped
around
the
facebook
picture
of
a
wheelchair
being
thrown
into
a
garbage
truck,
and
then
the
allegations
that
were
publicly
put
forward
in
the
I
just
I
can't
be
more
clear
that
wheelchair
was
not
taken
away
from
anybody.
No,
but
it
was
evicted
from
their
chair,
so
the
chair
could
be
thrown
away.
M
That
is
not
the
way
the
city
does.
Business
is
I'm
sure
you
understand.
The
wheelchair
in
question
was
actually
picked
up
in
front
of
Boston
Medical
Center.
It
was
loaded
with
human
fluids
that
made
it
a
hazardous
event
as
well
as
hypodermic
needles,
and
when
it
was
destroyed,
there
was
no
one
around
it
or
near
it.
The
city
would
never
under
any
circumstance,
take
a
wheelchair
from
somebody
that
was
either
using
it,
for
transportation
are
using
it
to
move
their
own
belongings
and
the
condition
of
akaash
felt.
M
B
M
L
M
Not
sure,
quite
what
you
mean,
it's,
it's
not
a
tactic
or
tool
that
we
use
in
any
way
shape
or
form.
So,
ordinarily,
we
wouldn't
come
out
with
a
statement
about
it
and
to
me
it's
more
just
about
the
way
you
know
it
was
played
out
that
I,
just
you
know,
I
felt
this
commission
deserved
the
time
to
have
it
explained
to
you
exactly
how
it
happened
and
I
I've
got
the
police
reports
and
everything
that
go
along
with
it,
so
that
that's
just
not
the
way
you
know.
L
Thank
you,
no
I,
I
just
didn't
know
if
there
was
any
way
to
I
do
do
or
even
as
a
commission
is
there
any
way
to
when,
when
things
I
mean.
Obviously,
when
things
are
on
social
media
reaching
far
corners,
you
we're
not
trying
to
capture
that,
but
in
such
an
instance,
if
there
is
a
different
context,
is
there
any
way
to
clarify.
A
So
Elizabeth,
if
I,
could
speak
up
just
for
a
moment
and
correct
me
if
I'm,
wrong,
buddy,
but
I
believe
after
the
pictures
on
social
media
were
were
kind
of
passed
around
I,
believe
buddy
and
the
mayor.
We've
spoke
on
multiple
occasions
to
multiple
news
outlets
and
clarified
the
situation
and
clarified
the
use
of
the
wheelchair
and
the
disposal
of
it.
So
while
there
was
not
a
specific
short
statement
regarding
that
in
isolation,
it
was
circulated
throughout
the
news.
A
M
B
And
now
that
you've
mentioned
that
Jessica,
this
is
Jerry
again
now
that
you've
mentioned
that
I
subsequently
heard
the
mayor.
You
know
on
a
on
a
media
outlet
make
that
statement
as
well
that
the
chair
was
not.
You
know
someone's
personal
chair
that
was
taken.
You
know
that
it
was
a.
It
was
a
hazard
at
that
point
that
had
to
be
disposed
of
for
public
health
reason.
There.
M
Was
there's
clearly,
you
know
the
the
event
in
the
area
near
Atkinson
Street
in
Southampton,
there
were
a
number
of
vacant
wheelchairs
that
were
building
up
I
made
contact
with
the
Boston
Medical
Center,
because
that's
where
they
all
came
from
because
they're
all
labeled,
we
called
them.
We
asked
them
to
come
out
to
reclaim
their
wheelchairs
and
they
would
only
take
a
chair
that
was
absolutely
abandoned.
Quite
literally,
if
someone's
shoes
were
sitting
in
the
chair,
that
chair
was
not
touched,
and
that
was
the
level.
L
M
L
A
But
I
do
have
a
couple
remarks
from
her
in
regards
to
the
situation
that
she
wanted
the
board
to
know
that
she
personally
met
with
the
Boston
Police
Department
Commissioner
gross,
who
assured
her
that
the
wheel
chairs
were
not
were
removed
that
were
removed
in
where
hazardous
in
condition
and
were
not
occupied
that
the
aim
of
the
police
action
was
to
address
criminal
activity
in
order
to
protect
vulnerable
residents,
including
many
people
with
physical
and
mental
health.
Disabilities.
A
Commissioner
also
met
with
HHS
cabinet
chief
Martinez,
who
has
come
to
our
board
meetings
as
well.
Who
emphasized
that
this
is
not
City
protocol
and
would
would
not
happen
again,
and
the
Commissioner
also
is
working
with
the
office
of
recovery
services
to
connect
them
with
resources
and
offer
support
as
well
as
has
been
in
touch
with
Requip
Monteux
resource,
to
get
people
wheelchairs
if
they
need
them
and
has
also
worked
with
counselor.
Counselor
Flynn
also
worked
with
a
nonprofit
and
had
three
wheelchairs
delivered
to
a
shelter
in
that
area
as
well.
A
B
B
You
know
either
either
one
of
multiple
days
and
and
you
can
go
to
abilities,
Expo,
calm
to
register
and
I.
Believe
that's
free
as
well,
and
also
the
our
tag,
the
riders
transportation
access
group.
Their
next
general
meeting
is
September
16th
from
5:30
to
7:30
at
the
State
Transportation
Building
at
10:00,
Park,
Plaza
I'm,
not
sure
of
the
conference
room.
Yet.
But
if
you
go
to
the
second
floor,
it
will
be,
it
will
be
widely
there'll,
be
a
lot
of
signage
and
and
you'll
be
able
to
find
your
way.
B
E
B
B
Yeah
I
think
so
as
well
yeah
and
just
a
couple
of
other
things
that
that
you
know
I
found
of
interest
from
the
from
the
Commission's
email
newsletter
that
goes
out
weekly.
The
Museum
of
Science
is
looking
for.
Accessibility
monitors
for
a
few
exhibits
that
they
have
I
would
encourage
anyone
either
either
on
the
Commission
or
again,
as
part
of
our
groups,
to
consider
giving
your
input
you
know
I
think
they
take
it
very
seriously.
B
I
participated
in
in
reviewing
a
couple
of
things
in
the
past,
so
I
would
encourage
you
to
to
to
check
that
out.
You
know
and
give
your
valid
value
Belen
put
either
as
a
member
of
the
commission
or
again
out
to
your
constituent
groups
and
the
contact
for
that
is
Katie
Todd
at
MOS,
dot,
org
and
her
phone
number
is
six
one:
seven,
five,
eight
nine
four,
two
three
five
and
just
one
other
one.
B
Other
thing
that
I
wanted
to
mention
is
the
the
t's
system-wide
accessibility
office
is
looking
for
folks
to
participate
in
a
bus,
evacuation
training,
that's
going
to
happen
on
October,
2nd
from
8
to
1
p.m.
at
the
bus
yard.
In
Charlestown,
for
any
one
of
us
that
are
able
to
participate
and
give
our
feedback,
you
can
contact
Jennifer
Ross
at
the
T
and
her
email
is
J
Ross
at
MBTA
comm,
and
that's
all
I
had
at
this
time,
and
the
next
is
going
to
be.
A
Great
Thank
You
Jerry,
so
you
did
steal
my
thunder
of
my
first
and
strongest
announcement
announcement
I,
think,
which
is
that
the
Commission's
gonna
be
at
abilities,
Expo
abilities,
Expo
is
coming
up.
We
will
have
a
table
there
that
will
be
fully
staffed
all
three
days,
so
please
feel
free
to
come
on
by
and
sign
our
card
that
we'll
have
there.
A
I
would
also
say
pick
up
a
shirt,
but
I
think
that
we've
tried
to
get
all
of
you
guys
to
have
shirts
already
but
feel
free
to
pick
up
a
second
shirt
or
a
vintage
shirt
we'll
have
previous
ad
a
day
years
as
well,
I
think
in
an
effort
to
clean
out
our
office,
so
maybe
you're
feeling
like
a
more
of
a
2017
ad
a
day
and
so
take
your
pick.
I
think
that
Patricia
will
cover
most
of
the
architecture
updates,
but
we
have
started
our
mass
rehab
Commission
internship
program.
A
Usually
we
do
this
internship
in
the
summer
in
previous
years
last
year
we
did
do
it
in
the
fall
and
it
was
with
youth,
but
this
year
we're
starting
it
up
again
with
adult
age.
Individuals
with
disabilities,
who
are
picked
through
mass
rehab
Commission
to
be
quote,
unquote,
job
ready
and
we
place
those
individuals
in
different
city
departments
that
they
have
articulated
as
being
interested
in
and
it
is
a
six-week
paid
internship
program,
and
so
we
have
an
intern
in
our
office.
A
It's
a
city
department
here
under
Health
and
Human
Services,
to
put
on
a
series
of
workshops
known
as
aged
strong
at
work,
which
is
an
employment
workshop
series
for
people
over
50.
The
first
day
will
be
September
14th,
it's
a
Saturday
and
that
will
provide
an
overview
of
employment
opportunities
for
the
older
worker
day.
Two
will
be
October
fifth,
which
will
be
a
skills
building
workshops
on
resume,
writing
job
search
skills.
Things
like
that
and
then
the
third
day,
October
19th,
will
be
a
job
fair.
A
So
these
will
be
specifically
employers
who
are
looking
for
for
new
hires
and
who
are
aware
that
the
the
market
that
they
will
be
talking
to
and
interviewing
will
be
people
who
are
50-plus.
All
three
of
these
events
are
happening
at
the
do
it
Center
at
1:22.
Do
it
drive-in,
Roxbury
and
all
three
days
are
92
with
the
exception.
My
apologies,
Olivia
I,
know
you're.
Writing
all
this
down
day,
1
and
day
2
will
be
from
10
to
2
day.
A
B
B
B
A
B
I
would
really
like
I
said:
I've
actually
helped
them
out
on.
You
know
giving
them
feedback
on
a
couple
of
exhibits
in
it.
You
know
I
found
it
to
be
the
you
know,
a
really
positive
experience
and
also
it
gets
you
into
the
museum
for
free
for
the
day.
So
so
that's
a
that's
an
incentive
to
participate
Karl.
B
K
K
K
Secretaries,
Mary,
Lewis,
others
from
HHS
is
gonna,
speak
and
I
believe
potentially
some
of
the
Elizabeth
Warren
will
be
there
open
with
opening
remarks
and
the
event
is
from
10:00
to
2:00
and
I
will
send
the
we're
still
working
out
the
logistics
in
the
event.
But
I
will
send
your
office
Jessica
and
Commissioner
the
details
tomorrow.
You
can
put
it
in
your
newsletter
and
promote
the
event
Thank
You
Karl
great.
B
K
B
L
B
A
I
was
reached
out
to
you
today
by
the
the
person
who's
running
it
from
the
age,
strong
Commission
and
she
she'd
be
happy
to
make
those
contacts
and
reach
out
to
those.
So
if
you
have
any
recommendations-
or
you
know,
your
employer
or
another
employer
has
a
great
reputation
of
working
well
with
people
with
disabilities
and
giving
a
lot
of
opportunities
to
them.
We'd
be
happy
to
reach
out
to
them
closer
to
the
date.
We'll
be
able
to
give
you
more
details
about
who
will
be
at
the
job
fair
itself.
B
B
G
Good
evening,
everyone,
my
name-
is
Patricia
Mendez
I'm,
the
architectural
access
specialist
for
the
Commission
for
persons
with
disabilities,
I'm
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
we've
done.
This
month,
we
were
involved
in
the
development
of
a
couple
of
exciting
projects
in
the
Seaport
there's
two
large
parcels
that
will
be
developed
in
the
upcoming
years.
One
of
them
is
parcel
P
and
right.
Next
to
it
is
parcel
n.
G
These
two
are
going
to
be
large
multi-story
buildings
and
in
between
them,
there's
going
to
be
a
vertical
connection
between
Congress
Congress
is
down
here
and
Summer
Street
right
now
there
is
a
horrible
stairway
and
this
large
development
it's
going
to
include
a
grand
stairway,
and
it's
also
going
to
include
an
interior
connection
with
an
elevator
that
is
going
to
be
available
24/7
within
one
of
the
buildings
in
parcel
P.
And
then
after
that,
one
is
built.
G
The
following
year:
parcel
n
is
going
to
be
a
sister
tower
and
it
will
also
include
vertical
circulation
by
elevator
and
our
Commission.
It's
going
to
work
closely
with
a
development
team
and
B
PDA
to
ensure
that
it
can
provide
a
wonderful
access
to
our
city,
also
in
the
support
area.
There's
mass
sport
development
and
this
one
is
on
for
one
Congress
Street.
As
I
said,
it's
a
mass
port
project
and
it's
going
to
include
multi-story
office
building
and
in
the
bottom
couple
of
floors.
G
It's
going
to
have
this
large
public
area
open
to
the
public
again
24/7
and
the
way
it
was
described
in
the
presentation
is
that
it's
not
going
to
have
walls,
but
it's
going
to
have
doors
to
welcome
the
pedestrian
experience
into
the
building.
So
we're
really
excited
also
to
work
with
with
this
development
team.
This
is,
as
I
said,
for
one
Congress
Street
Commissioner
mokosh
is
collaborating
with
Logan,
Airport
and
Massport
in
their
planning
of
the
renovation
and
improvement
of
the
TNCs
areas.
G
Logan
Airport
is
investing
20
million
in
decreasing
congestion
in
the
airport,
going
in
and
out
so
there's
a
Commission
and
Advisory
Commission.
The
Commissioner
macaws
is
being
part
of
this
week.
I
had
the
privilege
to
attend
for
her,
and
there
were
other
disability
advocates
at
the
table
and
also
the
two
main
companies
uber
and
lyft,
trying
to
work
together
and
have
this
renovation
being
something
that
is
thought-out
and
it
considered.
Well.
The
disabilities
community.
G
Next,
at
the
architectural
access
board,
as
you
know,
I
serve
every
two
weeks,
and
this
week
we
had
a
hearing
for
the
MBTA.
The
MBTA
comes
every
year
to
talk
about
the
main
points
of
their
capital
improvement
plans
this
this
year
it
included
their
their
update,
included.
The
opening
of
Williston
station
in
the
red
line
and
I
have
also
the
whole
PowerPoint
that
I
can
share
to.
Whoever
is
interesting,
you
can
shoot
me
an
email
and
I
can
share
the
PowerPoint
for
that
presentation.
G
Part
of
their
requirements
for
the
electric
vehicles
is
that
a
percentage
of
that
need
to
be
accessible,
so
we're
we're
reviewing
with
them
that
the
policy
that
they're
working
on
next
we
welcomed
a
group
of
students
from
the
Boston
Architectural
College
its.
This
was
my
school
too.
We
we
had
the
privilege
to
have
some
of
their
masters
level
studios.
G
Their
focus
is
Universal
Design,
and
this
is
part
of
a
distance
program
that
the
BAC
has
and
part
of
the
distance
program
is
to
have
week
intensive
course
in
person
here
in
Boston.
So
one
of
the
days
of
that
intensive
week
was
a
visit
to
City
Hall
and
we
shared
the
information
and
the
experience
that
that
we
have
and
our
work
and
we've
also
visited
the
EPA,
and
we
expect
to
have
this
requiring
maybe
next
year
and
also
with
other
schools.
So
we
were
really
excited
to
welcome
the
students.
B
K
G
Two
persons,
the
the
one
that
already
has
a
tenant,
it's
going
to
be
a
lab
kind
of
a
tenant
like
biomedical
I,
don't
remember
the
name
of
the
company,
but
it's
it's
not
commercial.
However.
The
bottom
floor:
it's
going
to
have
commercial
components,
so
the
walkway,
where
you
connect
Congress
to
summer
that
walkway
it's
going
to
be
filled
with
with
shops
and
small
retail.
K
G
B
Other
question
Patricia:
this
is
Jerry
I
just
had
one
clarification,
so
I
know
before
you
know,
when
the
when
the
committee
or
the
Commission
to
study
the
TNC
area
at
the
airport
was
formed,
they
were
really
pushing
like
we
want
to
get
this
done.
You
know
as
quickly
as
possible-
or
we
heard
about
you
know,
maybe
by
September
1st
or
whatever
we'd
have
an
area,
or
you
know
and
so
forth,
but
it
doesn't
sound
like
from
your
report
that
they're
ready
to
make
any
sort
of
changes
yet
is
that
is
that
correct.
G
D
K
G
Absolutely-
and
that
is
the
concern
from
the
for
the
different
disability
advocates
that
were
at
the
table
there,
including
a
Massachusetts
Commission
for
the
blind,
be
CIL
city
of
Cambridge
city
of
Boston,
so
that
is
definitely
a
concern
that
is
strong,
clear
and
center.
The
direction
that
my
support
wants
to
go
is
to
to
have
both
option
from
the
center
to
the
central
garage
and
also
to
curbside.
The
details
are
are
being
worked
out
as
we
speak,
but,
yes,
that
is,
that
is
one
of
the
main
concerns
yeah.
B
G
G
That
was
also
what
one
of
the
main
points
discussed
and,
as
you
know,
is
not
like
an
easy,
simple
solution:
I'm
happy
to
say
that
yesterday,
that
table
had
what
was
filled
with
stakeholders,
including
uber
and
lyft
Massport,
and
all
the
advocates
so
that
that
conversation
is
taking
place
as
we
speak.
Yes,
absolutely.
That
is
a
very
valid
question.
Yeah.
B
A
So
Melinda
is
from
our
office
and
she's
gonna
talk
very
briefly
about
an
outreach
plan
that
we're
working
on.
This
is
just
in
the
preliminary
stages
and
she'll
talk
about
the
topic
and
kind
of
the
approach
that
we're
taking,
and
then
we
want
to
open
it
up
to
you
guys
to
give
us
feedback
as
to
the
different
issues
that
were
covering,
but
I
just
want.
It
noted
that
this
is
very
preliminary
and
a
first
step,
and
so,
while
we
can't
tackle
everything,
we're
looking
to
guidance
as
to
where
we
should
start
first.
H
Good
evening
everybody,
my
name
is
Melinda
Andrade
I'm,
the
new
outreach
engagement
specialist
for
the
mayor's
Commission
for
personal
disability.
Like
Jessica
mentioned,
we've
been
working
on
our
reach
plan,
which
we
want
to
call
it
the
bike
and
pedestrian
safety
safety
plan.
So
I
have
a
few
topics
that
we
want
to
include.
H
H
What
event
should
we
go
to
to
pretty
much
give
our
presentation?
We've
been
kind
of
working
on
different
type
of
outreach
plan
I'm
one
of
them
we
started
working
with
like
a
presentation
PowerPoint,
the
other
one
that
we
was
thinking
is
to
create
different
type
of
template
to
pretty
much
put
like.
We
have
a
lot
of
information,
but
we
can't
cover
everything
so
we've
been
trying
to
narrow
it
down
to
like
a
few
which
has
been
a
little
hard,
especially
for
me,
especially
because
it's
my
first
project
that
I'm
working
on.
H
B
B
C
C
C
H
A
Yes,
so
this
is,
this
is
primarily
just
a
I
says
this
is
going
to
be
Melinda's.
Literal
full-time
job
is
doing
these
outreach
campaigns,
and
so
we
we
wanted
to
go
with
a
kind
of
lowball
101
that
we've
been
talking
about,
often
in
these
advisory
board
meetings
and
that's
kind
of
pedestrian
safety.
In
regards
to
bicycles.
A
C
K
H
H
B
L
H
L
H
L
Not
everyone
goes
with
facts
anyway,
but
to
the
extent
that
you
can
back
up
this,
there
are
safety
concerns
with
some
actual
data
that
I
that
sometimes
helps
make
a
case
because
I
agree
Carl,
but
sometimes
I
think
with
cyclists.
That
every
group
has
its
some
very
vocal
advocates
and
I
think
sometimes
I.
Don't
think
certain
issues
need
to
be
necessarily
pitting
one
group
against
another
that
there
are
bad
examples
from
every
category
of
the
way
vehicles
are
on
the
road.
L
B
E
Always
have
a
comment:
I
think
this
is
a
great
initiative
and
I
encourage
you
to
use
humor
in
it.
We're
trying.
You
know
it
comes
to
mind.
Is
the
zombie
apocalypse
example
that
was
give
by
emergency
preparedness,
I
I
think
this
is
an
opportunity
to
have
some
fun
and
and
I
think
when
you
use
humor
it
absorbs
the
message
a
little
bit
more
than
if
you're,
just
like
cuddling
them
over
the
head
with
info.
So.
H
I
think
like
what
I've
been
talking
with
Jessica
I,
don't
want
to
sound
like
harsh,
but
we
want
to
just
get
our
message
across
and
I
definitely
have
like
a
few
quotes
in
my
I.
Could
just
read
you
one.
For
example,
I
came
up
with
one
two
wheels
in
two
feet,
so
pretty
much
something
that
we
could
include
so
much
not
just
be
it
just
harsh,
like
you
said,
but
more
like
a
humor
in
there.
It's
something
that
I
think
about
that.
A
Being
said,
Olivia,
if
you
come
up
with
a
flash
of
inspiration
for
some
sort
of
concept,
please
please
reach
out
to
Melinda
and
I
and
I
will
also
note
that
I
believe
David
Vieira
at
least
is
or
was
on.
The
phone
and
I
did
speak
to
him
before
the
meeting,
and
while
he
is
not
physically
here,
we
assured
him
that
we
would
be
reaching
out
to
him
directly
as
since
he
is
such
a
strong
advocate
for
this
outreach
plan
and
will
be
meeting
with
him.
This
is
just
the
preliminary
stages.
A
The
reason
we're
not
rolling
this
out
in
the
fall
is
because
we
want
to
make
sure
we
do
this
right.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
not
coming
in
at
odds
with
the
Vice,
the
cyclist
community.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
we're
working
together
with
as
many
stakeholders
as
we
can
to
try
and
do
this
the
right
way
and
the
most
effective
way,
because,
as
Carl
noted,
it
is
not
an
easy
task
and
so
we're
trying
to
hit
it
from
all
angles.
As
best
we
can
yeah.
B
H
B

B
B

B

Had
mentioned
to
the
commissioner,
having
like
a
separate
forum
with
uber
and
lyft
I
know
she
had
emailed
you
and
I
Elizabeth
for
some
for
some
feedback
or
from
a
did
some
for
some
additional
tech
persons
and
I
haven't
heard
anything
subsequent
to
that.
So,
but
I
do
know
that
it
is
on
her.
You
know,
hopefully
on
her
agenda
for
the
fall
to
put
something
together.
Yeah.
L
My
sense
was,
we
were
tabeling
it
for
the
summer
right,
but
that
yeah
we
don't
but
we'll.
So
we
can
just
take
that
up
with
her
again
then
and
then
the
other
thing
is
with
I
I
hate
when
it's
August
to
already
be
bringing
up
winter,
but
we
had
talked
I,
think
about
some
I.
Don't
know:
if
does
the
Department
of
Public
Works?
Oh,
do
we
have
some
kind
of
a
presentation
on
snow,
snow
policies
or
anything
of
that
nature
coming
up
in
the
flow
I.
B
L
A
I
will
say
that
Jerry
sent
an
email
out
to
at
least
the
Executive
Board
asking
for
whether
or
not
there
were
topics
that
we
wanted
presented
or
that
we're
already
booked
for
presentation,
but
if
any
as
we
are
approaching
the
end
of
the
year,
if
there
are
specific
offices
that
you
want
us
to
reach
out
to
please
let
us
know
so
we
can
start
booking
those
out
I.
Believe
we
have
the
office
of
recovery
services
coming
in
October
and
I
know.

Hi,
my
name
is
Anthony
Katya
and
I'm.
Currently,
a
student
at
Suffolk
University
in
their
undergraduate
law
program
and
I'm,
also
working
with
the
office
of
returning
citizens
and
I,
did
notice.
The
group
that's
here
right
now.
This
is
a
very
very
young
group.
There
I
mean
you
could
all
be
my
grandchildren
now
I.
J
B
J
J

The
disability
is
the
fact
that
they
are
stigmatized,
they
walk
around
with
a
Scarlet
Letter,
and
it
makes
it
almost
impossible
for
them
to
acclimate
to
the
society
as
it
is
today,
I
tutor
over
at
the
New
England
Center
and
there's
one
fellow
there
he
was
in
prison,
he's
a
veteran.
He
was
in
prison
for
40
years.
He
doesn't
even
have
any
idea
what
a
cell
phone
is.
J
J
J
C
C
J
It's
actually
issued
by
the
state
and
the
individual
gets
certificate
and
with
that
employers
actually
have
to
give
cause
as
to
why
they
wouldn't
hire
a
person,
because
if,
if
it's
a
result
of
their
conviction,
so
it's
pretty
effective
and
it's
something
that
I'm
doing
significant
research
on
right
now.
Okay,
thank
you
very
much.
I
really
appreciate
it.
Thank
you.
