Description
Disability Commission Advisory Board Meeting 2-20-2019
B
G
B
L
Thank
you
to
the
commissioner
rent
to
the
the
members
for
allowing
me
to
attend,
but,
more
importantly,
I
want
to
say
thank
you
for
the
great
work
you're
doing
on
behalf
of
so
many
people
across
Boston,
I'm
honored,
to
be
with
you
tonight,
just
as
a
way
of
background
I
had
the
opportunity
to
serve
25
years
in
the
u.s.
Navy
and
during
that
period
of
time,
I
became
involved
with
the
VA
health
system
and
I'm
active
with
the
disabled
american
veterans
organization
here
in
boston,
making
sure
our
trying
to
help
disabled
vets
access
medical
care.
L
One
thing
I
do
have
been
working
on
as
a
city
council
and
vice
chair
of
the
Civil
Rights
Commission
and
Disability.
Rights
follows
under
that
and
I'm
trying
to
work
closely
with
with
you
and
with
the
mayor's
office
to
make
sure
that
those
in
the
disability
community
are
treated
fairly
and
treated
with
respect
and
treated
with
dignity.
And
it's
because
of
you
that
Boston
is
a
welcoming
City
to
those
with
disabilities,
and
the
work
you're
doing
here
in
the
city
is
very
important.
L
My
my
parents,
who
are
elderly,
have
have
custody
of
a
special-needs
grandson
that
lives
with
my
parents
in
South
Boston.
So
we
understand
well,
who
has
very
difficult
time
walking,
but
we
understand
the
challenges
that
those
in
the
disability
community
face
every
day
with
my
parents
walking
our
my
nephew,
but
their
grants
grandson
very
difficult
to
walking
the
streets
and
sidewalks
crossing
the
street,
so
pestering
pedestrian
access
is
an
important
issue.
Pedestrian
safety
is
an
important
issue
for
me.
L
I
know
it's
an
important
issue
for
you
as
well,
and
those
types
of
quality
life
issues
are
issues.
I
will
continue
to
work
hard
on
on
the
Boston
City
Council,
but,
most
importantly,
I
just
came
by
to
say
thank
you
to
the
to
the
board
to
the
Commission
for
doing
excellent
work
across
the
city.
I
also
want
to
say
thank
you
to
Mayor
Walsh
for
making
Boston
a
place
that
treats
everybody
fairly
and
with
respect
regardless
of
your
your
ability.
L
C
L
I
called
for
a
hearing
that
we
will
have
a
hearing
here
at
the
City
Council
chamber.
It
hasn't
been
scheduled
yet,
but
hopefully
it
will
be
scheduled
and
we'll
have
the
hearing
sometime
over
the
next
thirty
or
sixty
days,
and
it
will
be
an
opportunity
and
we'll
certainly
notify
the
Commission,
invite
invite
you
to
attend
and
invite
you
to
testify.
L
Would
it
be
an
opportunity
for
for
the
city
and
for
the
City
Council
to
know
more
about
the
issue,
to
learn
more
about
the
issue
and
to
see
what
way
the
City
Council
can
be
more
helpful
on
access
issues,
making
sure
that
those
in
the
disability
community
know
about
all
the
city
services
available
to
them
throughout
the
neighborhoods
and
it's
an
opportunity
for
us
to
learn
more
about
the
issue.
But
it's
it's
something
that's
important
that
will
get
done
and
it's
it's
a
hearing
that
will
again
take
place
in
30
or
60
days.
L
C
You
and
I'd
also
like
to
thank
you
for
your
support
with
the
ductless
mobility,
when
we
had
that
hearing
you're,
very
supportive
of
pedestrian
access
and
making
sure
the
sidewalks
remain
primarily
for
pedestrians
and
not
for
Douglas
bikes
and
scooters.
That
could
impede
accessibility
for
pedestrians,
yeah.
L
That's
that's
an
important
issue.
I
I
see
it
from
you
know
my
parents
point
of
view
and
from
other
people's
point
of
view,
is
when
they're
walking
with
without
a
nephew
walking
on
the
sidewalks
in
there,
as
I,
said
they're
elderly
with
a
special-needs
child,
it's
very
difficult
to
navigate
the
sidewalks,
so
weaving
a
scooter
or
some
other
bicycle
or
anything
on
the
sidewalk
makes
it
very
difficult
for
the
elderly
for
those
with
disabilities
for
children.
L
It's
a
public
safety
issue,
it's
a
quality
of
life
issue
and
it's
it's
it's
about
respect
and
dignity
for
for
everybody.
So
that's
something!
I'm
gonna
continue
to
work,
work
on
and
I.
You
know
thank
you
for.
Thank
you
for
your
comments,
commissioner,
and
if
anyone
has
any
questions
or
comments,
you
know
please
let
me
know
and
if
not
I'm
always
around
I'd
be
glad
to
answer
them
at
any
time.
B
Thank
You
councillor
I'd
like
to
second
on
behalf
of
the
board,
the
thanks
for
the
work
that
you've
already
done
and
are
continuing
to
do
on
behalf
of
all
people
with
disabilities
in
the
city,
other
people
as
well,
but
recognizing
the
importance
of
issues
for
this
community
that
that's
an
excellent
idea.
I
think
as
many
people
as
possible
from
our
Commission
would
be
interested.
B
Our
board
would
be
interested
in
attend
and
the
more
notice
we
could
be
given
ahead
of
time,
the
better,
because
of
so
we
can
line
up
the
appropriate
accommodations
needed
and
those
logistics.
But
that
would
that's
very
exciting
at
the
beginning
of
this
year
to
know
that
you
want
to
pursue
that
so
soon.
Yes,.
L
Thank
you
and
the
the
chair
of
the
committee
is
council
as
a
come.
They
come
and
I'll
be
working
closely
with
him
working
closely
with
Mayor
Walsh's
office
working
closely
with
with
Kristen
and
in
the
members
here
as
well,
so
I
certainly
will
give
plenty
of
notice
and,
as
we
set
the
agenda
for
the
hearing,
that's
when
I
also
want
to
include
you
to
make
sure
that
your
issues
that
are
important
to
you
are
also
issues
that
we
specifically
talk
about
here
on
the
council.
So
it's
not
it's
not
about.
L
B
B
B
F
B
B
Let
us
know
if
there
are
upcoming
meetings
in
the
next
month
or
two
in
your
own
communities
or
citywide
I
realize
there
might
be
some
redundancy
here
that
both
the
Commissioner
and
the
chair
will
also
be
mentioning
meetings,
and
so
some
of
those
we
night
we
might
not
explicitly
mention,
and
each
month
it
will
be
the
chairs
at
the
chairs,
discretion
of
whether
a
particular
topic
instead
of
announcement
belongs
in
another
category,
such
as
new
business.
So
with
that
in
mind,
is
do
we
have
any
announcements
of
upcoming
meetings.
C
C
Following
up
on
the
Dhokla
spikes
conversation.
There
is
an
another
hearing
scheduled
for
February
26
at
noon.
That's
next
week,
if
anybody's
interested-
and
we
can
also
send
an
email
out
to
remind
people
and
I-
don't
know
if
the
board
wants
to
consider
writing
a
group
letter.
That's
something
that
you
can
take
up
under
new
business
and
decide
if
you
want
to
write
a
letter
and
take
a
vote
to
do
so.
C
If
you're
interested
the
mayor
is
hosting
a
reception
for
boards
and
commissions

an
email
invitation
or
an

the

you
should
get
one

A

It's
a
Tuesday
from
12:00
to
2:00
on
City
Hall,
plaza,
I
know
that
was
a
long
list,
but
we
will
email
you
out
the
dates
as
a
follow
up
to
this
meeting.
Carl
I.
F
E
B
Okay,
thanks
any
other
announcements,
the
as
I'll
be
referencing
again
in
the
chairs
report.
The
are
tag
meeting
is
the
next
meeting
for
the
transportation.
Our
tag
meeting
will
occur
on
February
28th
at
10:00,
Park
Plaza,
the
transportation
building
from
5:30
to
7:30
and
after
there
are
some
upcoming
meetings
from
the
associated
with
better
bus.
But
since
we
have
a
presentation
about
that
and
already
have
had
a
lengthy
announcement
list,
I
think
I'll
defer
that
for
the
chairs
report.
So
with
that
we'll
now
move
to
the
better
bus
project.
M
So
good
evening,
everyone,
my
name,
is
Matt.
Moran
is
my
second
day
on
the
job
at
the
new
BTD
transit
team.
So
please
go
easy
on
me:
I
not
I'm,
familiar
with
City
Hall,
though
I've
been
working
here
for
the
past
two
years.
The
BPD
A's
transfer
translation
team.
So
you
know
familiar
with
a
lot
of
the
issues
a
lot
of
faces
around
here.
So
a
quick
overview.
M
I'll
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
the
new
BTD
transit
team,
a
bit
of
background
on
the
MBTA's
better
bus
program,
but
of
the
public
engagement
and
what
the
next
steps
are.
So
what
is
the
new
transit
team
I
apologize
for
that
formatting?
Getting
a
little
bit
messed
up
there,
but
so
we
are
within
the
B
T
DS
policy
and
planning
division,
which
is
overseen
by
Vinny
Gupta,
and
we
serve
as
these
primary
point
of
contact
on
transit
issues.
M
So
that's
everything
from
bus,
subway,
commuter
rail
ride
and
ferry
services,
bus,
stop
and
other
existing
MBTA
infrastructure
on
city,
streets,
mascot
and
MBTA
planning
studies
that
might
be
happening
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
shuttle
and
non
MBTA
transit
services
in
Boston.
So
that
would
be
private
Shell's.
It
might
be
operating
in
places
like
the
Seaport.
We
are
also
looking
to
implement
city
transit
priorities.
M
So
if
you
know
go
Boston
2030
one
priority
this
year
will
be
the
Brighton
Avenue
rapid
bus
concept,
we're
also
looking
at
advancing
transit
studies
such
as
the
Seaport
transit
strategic
plan
and
coordinating
with,
of
course,
other
parts
of
BTD.
The
Boston
planning,
a
development
agency
and
Public
Works
on
various
projects,
development
review,
public
works
projects
and
I,
involve
new
infrastructure
and
so
forth
and
how
they
relate
to
transit,
so
who's,
a
new
transit
team.
So
is
myself
I'm
the
new
transit
team
director.
M
We
also
recently
hired
Lindy
Way
Renetta,
who
joins
us
as
a
transit
planner
and
the
future
we'll
be
hiring
three
operation
staff
to
help
with
bus,
pilots
and
transit
maintenance
programs,
so
a
bit
on
the
better
bus
program.
So
what
is
the
MBTA's
better
bus
program?
So
it's
looking
at
improving
it's
the
first
step
in
improving
the
bus
system.
Overall,
it's
a
key
part
of
their
eight
billion
dollar
modernization
work
which
in
which
includes
subways
buses
in
the
commuter
rail
network.
M
M
Its
analysis
of
near
proposed
near-term
changes,
which
is
where
we
are
now
and
then
there's
a
multi-year
investment
strategy
which
will
lead
to
the
bus
network
redesign,
which
will
be
a
much
more
comprehensive
bus
network
change,
but
where
we
are
now
we're
really
looking
at
47.
Revenue-Neutral
changes
to
the
bus
network
and
the
goal
is
a
broad,
a
much
more
frequent
and
reliable
bus
service
throughout
Greater.
Boston
I
said
before
these
changes
are
revenue
neutral.
So
don't
expect
many
of
these
to
be
earth-shattering,
but
they
will
certainly
help
speed
up
reliability.
M
So
one
example
that
I
just
want
to
highlight
here
is
the
proposed
consolidation
of
the
crosstown
one
in
route
1
routes.
So
if
you
know
across
town
one
in
route
1,
they
both
go
from
Cambridge
across
the
Charles
River
into
the
Back
Bay
and
the
crosstown
one
route
continues
onto
the
BU
medical
area
and
route.
1
continues
to
Dudley
square,
so
across
town
one
would
effectively
be
eliminated
and
those
buses
are
currently
part
of
across
town.
One
services
would
be
rededicated
to
route
1
services.
This
means
faster,
more
reliable
service
on
the
one
bus
service.
M
M
So
what's
the
public
engagement
strategy
like
for
the
tea,
so
they
actually
have
a
bus
that
they
bring
around
to
different
locations
throughout
Greater
Boston,
and
they
have
it's
essentially
a
touring
bus
with
different
MBTA
materials
on
it
so
pamphlets
to
highlight
what
exactly
is
proposed
to
be
changed
people
on
board
who
can
answer
questions?
They
are
hosting
a
series
of
community
meetings
throughout
the
Greater
Boston
area
on
these
proposed
changes.
There's
an
online
comments
forum
and
yeah
I
should
also
note.
The
comments
are
due
by
March
13th,
so
just
keep
that
date
in
mind.
M
So
how
can
you
get
involved?
Well,
if
you
want
to
learn
more
about
specific
route
changes,
you
can
go
this
website
better
bus,
MBTA,
comm,
there's
a
survey
there
and
you
can
fill
out
the
survey.
So
you
can
look
at
what
the
specific
impact
is
and
then
tell
the
T
what
your
thought
is
on
that
there's
a
link
here
in
this
presentation,
then
I
can
follow
up
with
Sarah
to
send
it
around
to
the
group
about
where
the
next
community
meetings
are
being
held.
They're
hosting
roughly
half
a
dozen
and
they're
geographically
well
spread
out.
M
So
there's
still
several
more
of
those
to
have
that
will
happen
and
you
can
also
email
the
BTD
transit
team.
So
that's
myself
or
Lindy
Webb,
and
you
see
our
email
addresses
right
here,
so
I'm,
just
Mathew
dot
Moran
at
Boston
there
at
Boston
gov.
So
any
I
got
any
thoughts
comments.
We
want
to
hear
from
you
about
what
your
thoughts
are.
So
what
are
the
next
steps
for
the
BTD
transit
team
so
we're
conducting
meetings
with
city
hall
staff
on
these
better
bus
recommendations
to
really
understand
what
these,
in?
M
What
how
these
better
bus
recommendations
will
impact
specific,
neighborhoods
or
specific
specific
routes
or
specific
rides?
And
so
we
really
want
to
understand
from
city
hall
staff
what
these
changes
are
going
to
mean
and
what
we're
planning
to
do
is
use
all
of
this
feedback
to
write
a
comprehensive
comment
letter
and
share
that
with
the
T
and
get
that
to
the
T,
so
I
think
I
can
open
this
up
to
any
questions.
Anyone
has
about
better
bus
or
for
that
matter,
the
transit
team
in
general.
Thank
you.
E
M
H
H
And
second
question
is
so
if
people
so,
for
example,
to
see
how
people
have
any
concerns
regarding
buses
or
do
you
know,
for
example,
that
they
have
issues
with
and
would
they
have
any
concerns
about
its
with
with
their
bt
staff,
for
instance,
can
they
also
use
this
website
to
say,
listen,
I've
had
this,
it
should
come
up.
How
can
we
improve
situation?
Alright,
they
do
like
death.
Thank
you
sure.
M
Thank
you
for
the
question,
so
my
understanding
is
that
the
the
comments
that
they
are
looking
to
receive
are
specific
to
the
changes
that
are
being
proposed
through
the
better
bus
project
on
this
website.
But
there
are
MBTA
forums
that
you
can
comment
about
specific
issues
with
a
you
know,
bus
driver
or
or
anyone
else
again.
You
can
also
contact
one
of
us
if
you
feel
like
it's
something
that
would
be
good
to
have
the
city
take
a
look
at
and
we
can
certainly
follow
up
with
our
contacts
at
the
T.
N
I
There
yeardley
here
one
of
the
meeting
with
the
city
hall
of
staff
taking
place
I'm.
Sorry
say
that
one
more
time
when
is
the
meeting
with
city
hall
staff
taking
place
so.
M
M
So,
for
example,
the
office
of
Neighborhood
Services
has
individual
staff
members
dedicated
to
specific
communities,
so
we've
been
hosting
you
know,
meetings
with
OH&S
staff,
BPD
a
staff
or
dedicates
Community
Planning
issues
in
those
neighborhoods
DZ
staff.
Who
are
you
know,
looking
at
Community,
Planning
issues,
transportation,
planning
issues
in
those
neighborhoods
really
trying
to
get
like
a
good
technical
understanding
of
what
these
changes
are
and
sort
of
how
they'll
impact
you
know
the
various
neighborhoods
and
communities.
C
F
M
So
we
we
haven't
had
any
meetings
with
the
housing
authority
yet
and
that's
because
most
of
these
changes
are
really
tweaks
to
the
existing
routes.
I
didn't
notice
anything
that
jumped
off
the
page
me
that
would
significantly
impact
any
large
BHA
sites.
With
that
said,
it's
an
excellent
idea,
so
we'll
reach
out
to
sue
to
them
and
to
answer
your
second
question:
yes,
we
are
playing
to
have
beings
with
disabilities.
Commission
and
H
strong
Commission
make
sure
that
we
get
on.
You
know
this
was
hard.
B
G
Might
thank
you
for
coming
today.
This
is
quantum
it
is.
You
were
mentioning
about
services
available
for
the
public
to
enter
some
information.
I
was
wondering
if
you
can
expand
a
little.
What
kind
of
information
are
you
trying
to
get
from
the
survey
and
if
there
is
any
kind
of
exploration
for
how
to
improve
services
for
people
with
disabilities?
If
you're
trying
to
find
out
more
information
through
that
survey,
yeah.
M
Sure
so
the
MBTA's
wrangling
survey.
So
this
is
very
much
you
know
their
project
and
we're
really
reacting
to
it
from
the
city
side.
So,
insofar
as
we're
interested
in
learning
and
understanding
more
about
how
any
of
these
proposed
changes,
can
you
know
better
the
lives
of
people
in
Boston?
So
as
excellent,
you
know
we'd
love
to
hear
your
specific
feedback,
and
you
know
if
you
want
to
submit
feedback
to
them
as
well.
I
think
that
would
be
all
the
better.
O
Good
evening,
commissioner
Akash
and
members
of
the
Commission,
my
name
is
tad
Reid
and
I'm,
a
head
of
the
Transportation
and
Infrastructure
planning
team
at
the
Boston
Planning
and
Development
Agency
and
I'm
pleased
to
present
tonight
a
short
summary
of
the
work
we've
begun
on
the
austin,
brighton
mobility
study
or,
for
short,
we
call
it.
The
a/b
mobility
study.
O
O
So
the
image
on
the
screen
shows
the
boundaries
of
the
Austin
Brighton
area
and
just
for
those
who
may
not
be
able
to
see
the
screen
on
the
north
edge
is
the
Charles
River
from
Malvern
street
and
Packard's
corner.
All
the
way
over
to
the
border,
with
Newton
on
the
southern
edge
is
Brookline
and
bisecting.
The
areas
are,
the
planning
area
is
the
mess
turnpike
Cambridge
Street
and
an
Washington
Street,
it's
one
of
the
largest
neighborhoods
in
the
city.
O
This
the
planning
process
will
be
an
18-month
process
that
was
kicked
off
in
September.
We've
had
a
couple
of
community
meetings
already
and
I
will
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
that.
We've
hired
a
consulting
firm
of
Kittleson
and
associates
together
with
two
other
sub
consultants,
Arup
&,
Associates
and
n
BBJ-
to
help
us
on
this
study.
O
The
next
image
shows
at
timelines,
for
the
study,
showing
approximately
18
months
from
beginning
to
end
were
approximately
three
months
into
the
study,
where
were
still
focusing
on
data
collection
and
research
and
preliminary
engagement
with
the
public
to
hear
what
public
concerns,
complaints,
issues
and
ideas
are
related
to
their
getting
around
their
neighborhood
and
I
want
to
say
this
focuses
on
all
modes.
This
focuses
on
pedestrians,
bikes,
transit
and
vehicular
traffic
as
well.
O
As
you
know,
transportation
planning
in
Boston
is
not
something
that's
done
just
by
the
city.
It's
done
by
a
number
of
state
agencies
as
well.
Even
within
the
city,
we
have
two
departments,
the
Boston
planning
and
development
agency
and
the
Boston
Transportation
Department
working
on
transportation
planning
issues
were
often
tag
teaming
we're
working
together
with
a
Boston
Transportation
Department.
But
in
addition
you
have
the
message
Department
of
Transportation,
the
MBTA
massport,
and
this
is
just
to
let
you
know
we're
coordinating
closely
with
all
of
those
agencies
who
have
infrastructure
and
service
running
through
this
area.
O
So
why
now?
Why
are
we
pursuing
this
study
now?
The
simple
answer
is
new
development.
If
you
look
at
the
diagram
on
the
screen,
you'll
see
speckled
throughout
the
planning
area.
A
number
of
the
locations
of
numerous,
probably
a
couple
of
dozen
of
purple,
proposed
in
pending
development
projects,
totaling
about
eight
million
square
feet,
that's
a
lot
of
new
development.
Most
of
it
is
residential.
Some
of
that
has
been
approved.
Some
of
it
has
merely
been
a
pro
proposed
and
is
pending
approval,
but
that's
a
lot
of
development.
O
It's
raising
concerns
in
the
neighborhood
about
the
capacity
of
the
existing
system
to
accommodate
development,
and
so
that's
one
of
the
primary
reasons
we're
doing
this
study
now,
of
course,
we're
using
as
a
point
of
departure
are
sort
of
long-term
roadmap
for
transportation
planning
in
the
city
of
Boston.
You
may
be
familiar
with
go
Boston
2030
the
transportation
plan
adopted
by
the
city
a
couple
of
years
ago
and
we're
relying
on
the
mode
chair
goals
from
that
study.
O
Moe,
chair
mode,
is
simply
the
way
you
get
around
mode
is
by
bike
by
walking
by
vehicle
by
transit.
The
share
is
the
percentage
of
trips
made
by
each
of
those
modes,
its
each
of
those
types
of
travel,
so
the
goals
of
go
Boston
2030
are
to
increase
transit
trips
by
a
third
to
increase,
walking
by
half
increase
biking
four
times
and
to
decrease
automobile
usage
by
half.
So
those
are
goals
that
are
serving
as
again
sort
of
a
foundation,
a
springboard
for
this
study.
O
How
do
we
facilitate
increasing
those
more
sustainable
mode
chairs,
as
I
mentioned
before
we
launched
the
study
back
in
September,
we
had
a
community
meeting
attended
by
well
over
a
hundred
people
and
shown
on
the
screen
here,
just
a
flavor
of
some
of
the
comments
we
heard
at
that
meeting.
We
heard
some
very
granular
comments,
such
as
signal
timing.
At
many
intersections
causes
too
much
delay.
O
There
needs
to
be
improved
pedestrian
access
to
green
space,
there's
a
significant
need
for
improved
crosswalks,
which
would
be,
of
course,
of
interest
to
members
of
the
disability
Commission
on
disabilities.
I
would
imagine,
and
then
the
need
for
improved
lighting
and
visibility
throughout
those
are
just
a
that's
just
a
flavor
for
some
of
the
comments
related
to
Podesta.
In
movement
related
to
transit,
for
example,
we
heard
there's
a
need
to
consolidate
bus
stops
too
many
bus
stops,
can
slow
down
service,
there's
a
need
for
better
bus,
stop
signage.
O
Transportation
related
deaths
in
the
city
to
zero
and
as
part
of
a
an
effort
to
solicit
public
feedback
on
vision,
zero
starting
in
2016.
A
number
of
comments
were
submitted
solicited
throughout
Boston
neighborhoods,
including
over
600
comments
in
the
Boston
Brighton
neighborhood.
So
we
mined
that
information
and
we
mined
crap
mindcraft
crash
information
from
the
Boston
emergency
services
and
police
departments,
and
we
put
together
some
maps
and
the
maps.
If
you
can't
see
the
maps
on
the
screen.
O
This
map
is
our
combined
heat
map
that
combines
all
the
comments
and
you
can
begin
to
see
where
there
are
clusters
of
concerns,
so
then
we're
taking
this
map
and
creating
a
map
that
identifies
priority
areas
for
attention
and
improvement.
This
is
just
a
preliminary
map,
but
you
can
begin
to
see
there
certain
corridors
and
certain
intersections
in
Alton
Brighton
that
light
up
on
this
map
and
scream
out
for
attention,
and
those
are
the
areas
where
we're
giving
a
lot
of
it
with
it.
O
This
map
shows
in
blue
that
blue
dots
on
this
map
show
the
corridors
and
intersections
that
already
have
planned
improvements,
in
other
words,
we're
not
starting
from
scratch.
Here
there
are
already
many
plans
underway
many
improvements
underway.
We
won't
repeat
those
improvements,
but
we
will
certainly
add
to
them
the
lines
and
dot's
and
red
show
where
improvements
are
still
needed.
There's
a
lot
of
work
to
be
done
out
here.
O
Also.
We
want
to
wait
until
springtime
when
more
people
are
walking
and
biking
again
to
do
counts
for
biking
and
walking.
So
we'll
probably
wait
until
about
mid-april
to
do
some
get
some
current
counts
on
walking
and
biking
activity
in
the
native
neighborhood.
So
there's
still
additional
data
collection
to
do
and
then
what
are
the
next
steps?
What
are
you
going
to
be
doing
next?
Well,
most
of
you
have
received
on
your
table.
A
flyer
I'll
hold
it
up.
O
For
example,
we
know
in
area
one
the
area
north
of
the
Turnpike
that
the
Lincoln
Street
corridor
is
is
a
particular
concern
to
people,
as
is
Barry's
corner,
that
the
first
area
workshop
happened
last
week.
So
there
two
more
happening
if
you're
interested
the
next
one
will
be
next
Thursday
February
28th
from
4:00
to
6:00
p.m.
O
at
the
tavern
Alston
in
Allston
Villa
Village-
and
this
is
intended
in
large
part
to
to
get
the
attention
of
merchants
in
the
area
who
may
be
concerned
about
issues
in
Union,
Square
and
North
Harvard
Street,
but
also
issues
throughout
all
of
that
area.
And
then
the
third
workshop
will
be
at
the
Brighton
Public
Library
on
March
4th.
O
There
are
different
ways
to
participate
if
these
workshops
will
be
focusing
on
getting
people
to
think
about
different
interventions
that
may
be
useful
in
their
neighborhoods,
so
we
have
a
matrix
which
I'm
holding
up
right
now,
which
shows
a
list
of
possible
improvements.
You
might
want
to
think
about,
for
example,
an
improved
crosswalk,
a
curb
bulb
out
which
widens
the
curb
at
certain
locations
to
make
the
crossings
shorter,
intersection
tables.
O
D
I
just
have
a
quick
question
about
the
costs.
I
know
it's
for
the
B
PDA
and
the
city
and
state
agencies
how
about
any
of
the
universe?
These
are
they
helping
out
with
any
of
the
costs
at
all
its
considering
its
large
developments
in
the
area,
our
universities
and
a
lot
of
the
students
who
have
access
to
these?
Yes,.
O
Well,
we
so
the
the
study
is
is
being
in
funded
in
part,
mostly
by
the
BPD
a,
but
ten
percent
of
our
budget
will
be
used
to
identify
what
we're
calling
a
quick,
build
or
near-term
improvements,
and
those
are
the
kinds
of
improvements
we
would
expect
to
ask
private
developers
to
pay
for,
but
this
study
would
design
those
improvements.
So
the
idea,
one
of
the
major
ideas
of
the
study,
is
that
we
would
develop
a
menu
of
possible
improvements
that
we
would
ask
private
development
to
undertake.
P
So
it's
every
first
Wednesday
of
the
month
from
12:00
to
1:00,
and
some
of
the
things
that
the
group
has
accomplished
in
the
last
year
include
I'm,
creating
a
guide
for
how
to
get
access
to
parking
funds
for
local
disability.
Commission's
created
a
policy
proposal
that
was
presented
to
the
architectural
access
board
on
accessible
pedestrian
signals
and
created
a
guide
for
political
advocacy
at
multiple
different
levels:
local
state,
federal,
etc,
for
disability
Commission's
in
Massachusetts.
P
So
if
anybody
is
interested
in
being
a
part
of
that
again,
it's
the
first
Wednesday
of
every
month
from
noon
to
1:00
and
you
can
ask
Patricia
or
myself
how
to
how
to
gain
access
to
it.
The
second
thing
I'd
like
to
talk
about
is
a
bill
that
is
currently
before
the
Massachusetts
legislature.
It's
been
introduced
for
its
19th
year.
This
is
called
an
act
relative
to
the
architectural
access
board.
It
was
introduced
by
Representatives,
Barbour
and
Moran
in
the
house
and
Senator
Moore
Senate.
P
This
bill
would
extend
the
jurisdiction
of
the
architectural
access
board
to
cover
employee-only
spaces
right
now.
They
have
no
jurisdiction
over
employee
spaces.
They
can't
make
any
comments,
recommendations
or
regulations
governing
them,
as
well
as
closing
a
loophole
in
housing
development
around
adaptability.
P
Right
now,
as
long
as
the
shell
of
a
belt
or
the
shell
or
some
part
of
a
building
really
was
built
before
1991,
it
has
no
adaptability
requirements.
It
still
has
accessibility
requirements
if
it's
a
large
enough
scale,
housing
development,
but
if
it's
pre
91
there's
no
requirements
on
adaptability,
this
would
close
that
loophole
for
gut
renovations
of
old
non-residential
buildings.
So
factories,
schools,
old
municipal
buildings,
that
are
being
turned
into
apartment
buildings
were
not
previously
housing,
but
the
original
textile
mill
was
built
well
before
1991.
P
Essentially
bring
the
88
to
Massachusetts
when
it
comes
to
employment.
We
used
to
be
ahead
of
the
curve
back
in
the
70s
when
the
board
was
created.
We
have
since
fallen
well
behind,
because
it
is,
according
to
state
law,
perfectly
legal
to
build
an
office
building
that
is
completely
and
accessible
as
long
as
you
don't
have
any
public
access
spaces,
it
doesn't
have
to
be
accessible
according
to
state
law,
so
this
bill
would
fix
that.
P
P
Get
so
disability
Commission's
often
sometimes
will
have
relationships
with
local
developers,
local
employers
that
the
disability
policy
consortium
does
not
have,
and
the
support
of
developers
and
employers
on
this
bill
is
going
to
be
very,
very
important,
because
the
opposition
right
now
is
large
developers
and
large
employer
groups
having
a
few
employers
come
forward
or
a
few
developers
come
forward
and
say:
actually
the
board
is
not
a
threat
to
me.
I
personally
think
access
is
important
and
would
appreciate
it.
P
One
thing
that
I
will
hear
at
the
Statehouse,
sometimes
from
people
who
are
especially
just
very
new
to
the
job,
is
that
they
don't
see
how
this
is
an
issue
for
more
than
a
handful
of
people
or
surely
it
can't
be
that
bad,
so
bringing
home
the
importance
of
housing,
access
and
employment
access
and
what
happens
when
you
don't
have?
It
are
also
going
to
be
very,
very
important.
So
that's
a
little
bit
about
the
AAP
bill.
What
you
can
do
to
support
it!
B
B
Variance
was
requested
to
not
have
an
elevator
go
to
a
location
because
it
was
going
to
be
for
employees
only.
So
then,
again
by
definition,
you
couldn't
be
an
employee
with
a
mobility
disability
and
be
situated
in
that
area
and
I
know.
There
are
many
other
examples
of
the
way
that
it
limits
people.
So,
though,
so
in
the
coming
months,
and
with
the
leadership
of
people
on
our
Commission,
we
look
forward
to
working
with
you
and
others.
Are
there
questions
or
comments.
P
Last
I
checked,
which
was
yesterday,
it
was
still
on
everything,
was
pretty
much
still
in
dockets,
so
right
now
we're
HD,
2021
and
SD
814.
There
is
an
additional
bill
in
the
Senate
that
was
filed
by
Senator
Barrett.
It's
almost
yep,
it's
almost
identical
to
Senator
Mooresville.
The
only
difference
is
it
left
out
some
new
language
from
last
session
around
the
housing
piece.
P
A
Hi
I
just
want
to
note
it
that
last
month
we
did
vote
to
write
a
letter
and
I
apologize.
That's
actually
an
oversight
on
my
part
to
not
attach
that
in
the
email
that
was
sent
out
last
week.
We
have
a
draft
letter.
That
is
a
letter
in
support
of
the
bills
that
we
were
going
to
send
out
to
the
board
who
it
is
addressed
to
and
the
address,
because
it
is
not
yet
in
committee.
A
We
don't
have
that
yet,
but
the
idea
was
that
we
would
draft
the
letter,
send
it
all
to
send
it
to
each
of
you
for
feedback
and
input
and
then
through,
inter
cover
our
intergovernmental
relations
department
would
have
that
letter
sent
to
the
appropriate
individuals
when
the
time
came
that
there
were
appropriate
individuals
to
send
it.
To
so.
I
will
make
sure
that
that
letter
gets
sent
to
you
guys
this
week
for
everybody
to
give
our
their
input
and
feedback.
E
B
B
So,
as
you
can
see
by
the
third
chair
that
we
have
the
combination
of
jerry's
input
and
my
ability
to
call
on
you
in
the
room
and
I'm
frankly
humbled
to
be
in
this
chair,
because
both
Carl
and
Jerry
made
it
look
very
easy
to
be
up
here,
understanding
the
microphones
and
the
setup
and
we're
very
pleased
to
be
in
this
room.
But
that
too
is
an
extra
piece
as
well
as
today's
cameras.
B
So
with
that
Jerry
and
I
have
a
couple
of
quick
updates
for
you,
one
of
which
is
to
dovetail
on
the
prior
presentation
of
the
better
bus
program.
There
are
a
few
neighborhood
meetings
that
are
coming
up
in
the
next
couple
of
weeks,
the
first
of
which
is
that
the
Forest
Hills
station
will
be
hosting
an
open
house
meeting
for
anyone
who's
interested
and
that
will
take
place
on
February
27th
from
3
to
5
p.m.
and
then
at
the
Malden
station.
B
B
Okay,
the
next
order
of
business
is
that
there
will
be
an
enough
coming
meeting
of
the
that
the
our
tag
executive
board
will
be
hosting
for
public
input
and
that
will
occur
on
February
28th,
from
5:30
to
7:30,
at
the
Transportation
Building
10:00,
Park
Plaza,
and
with
that
Jerry.
Are
there
additional
comments
or
information
you'd
like
to
provide
the.
K
Comments
on
the
on
the
ER
tag
a
little
bit.
There
will
be
a
presentation
at
that
time
of
bike.
Rider
bus
by
better
bus
and
they'll,
be
soliciting
public
comments
at
that
time
as
well,
so
that
we
be
able
to
take.
You
know,
folks,
with
disabilities
concerns
comments,
suggestions
whatever
regarding
the
project
in
the
proposed
changes
to
the
47
bus
routes
at
that
time,
so
I
would
encourage
anyone
who.
B
K
B
Thanks
with
that,
the
one
additional
topic
that
Jerry
and
I
had
discussed
is
revisiting
the
issue
of
committees
that
board
members
are
interested
in
because
neither
he
nor
I
received
specific
recommendations.
And
although
there
are
a
number
of
different
important
topics,
some
of
which
we've
heard
this
evening
from
an
educator
from
transportation
to
employment,
to
housing
that
the
board
does
have
to
both
decide.
Given
our
interests
and
expertise
and
prioritization,
which
we
want
to
focus
on
for
this
year
and
so
Jerry
and
I
and
the
other
executive
board.
B
Members
will
be
meeting
and
we
will
elicit
more
specific
input,
because
we
already,
as
a
group,
had
identified
the
interest
in
transportation
and
in
the
IAB
bill.
But
we
there
have
been
some
other
excellent
ideas
floating
around
and
another
issue
that
we'll
continue
to
discuss
in
the
next
couple
of
month.
Leave
meetings
is
that
as
a
board
member,
when
we
have
the
level
of
enthusiasm
and
advocacy
that
we
do
that,
although
it's
very
important
that
we
receive
reports
and
hear
input
from
four
other
presentations
that
do.
B
We
need
more
active
time
ourselves
to
help
delineate
these
I
know.
Some
of
us
had
wanted
to
have
a
retreat
and
I,
don't
know
about
the
logistics
of
that,
but
all
the
more
so,
if
we're
not
able
to
have
a
separate
retreat,
then
to
have
some
of
this
time
that
we
have
monthly
as
time
that
we
can
further
focus
on
interests
of
ours.
So
with
that,
are
there
any
questions.
B
J
B
Apologize
we're
having
difficulty
with
hearing
the
the
details.
I
think
that
we
might
need
to
carry
on
this
discussion
offline,
that
I
I
don't
feel
I
could
adequately
summarize
it
just
based
on
the
way
the
phone
was
breaking
up,
but
we
really
appreciate
your
input
and
so
Jerry
and
I
I
think
more
expeditiously,
we'll
be
in
touch
with
the
the
board
members
to
to
figure
that
out.
If
there
are
no
other
questions.
That
concludes
the
chairs
report.
I
will
now
move
to
the
commissioners
report.
C
C
As
we
know,
thanks
to
the
great
advocacy
of
the
board
and
an
individual
Boston
resident,
they
installed
a
semi-permanent
ramp
last
year
early
this
year,
so
that
the
front
entrance
is
now
accessible.
However,
they
want
to
build
a
permanent
ramp,
a
very
nice
artistic
structure,
so
they
don't
have
a
temporary
metal
ramp
up
there
for
long,
so
that's
gonna
be
worked
into
the
master
plan
and
also
there
are
two
rooms
to
meeting
rooms
in
the
library
in
the
old
building
the
McKim.
C
C
Unfortunately,
there
was
a
meeting
scheduled
a
few
weeks
ago
on
here
to
give
updates
on
the
PCA
program
scheduled
by
MassHealth,
and
there
was
some
communication
where
the
library
staff
told
the
people
that
MassHealth
the
rooms
was
accessible
and
it
was
one
of
these
rooms
which
is
technically
accessible,
but
new.
We
have
20
and
30
people
coming
in
wheelchairs,
trying
to
go
up
that
lift.
It
was
not
very
accessible.
So
I'm,
working
on
communication
with
the
library
and
looking
at
different
strata
is
to
try
to
improve
accessibility.
C
Another
master
plan
that's
happening
is
the
parks
department
is
working
on
a
master
plan
for
Boston
Common.
There
is
a
large
barrier
in
the
common
that
we've
been
interested
in
working
on
for
a
long
time,
and
that
is
the
set
of
steps
at
the
Shaw
Memorial
which
go
from
the
comment
up
to
Beacon
Street
across
from
the
Statehouse
right
now,
if
you're
in
the
common-
and
you
can't
use
the
steps,
there's
no
way
to
get
to
the
Statehouse,
except
to
go
back
to
trim
on
Street
and
walk
all
around
a
park
street
to
Beacon
Street.
C
So
it's
a
really
long
path
to
travel,
and
it's
not
even
that
path
is
not
very
accessible.
So
we
had
worked
with
the
parks
department
for
a
few
years
to
try
to
get
some
measurements
of
slopes
and
come
up
with
some
design
concepts
to
either
do
a
ramp
or
an
exterior
elevator
in
the
common.
So
this
will
be
included
in
the
master
planning.
Another
big
piece
of
the
master
plan
for
the
common
is
the
Martin
Luther
King
in
Coretta
Scott
King
memorial,
which
is
underway.
C
C
The
third
master
plan
that
we're
working
on
is
for
City
Hall
plaza.
You
may
have
noticed
that
there
were
no
winter
activities
scheduled
outside
this
winter
and
that's
because
they're
updating
infrastructure
on
the
plaza,
which
has
to
do
with
everything,
from
electricity
and
water
to
surface
materials
and
areas
of
delineating
areas
of
usage
like
a
big
area
for
concerts
and
a
small
area
for
gatherings
and
meetings.
So
we're
involved
with
those
plans
also
looking
at
wayfinding,
on
the
plaza
so
I'll
keep
you
updated
on
all
those
things,
and
these
are
really
big
huge
initiatives.
C
So,
if
we
can
have
input,
it
will
go
a
long
way
towards
increasing
accessibility
systemically
in
these
areas
of
Boston.
Just
two
other
meetings
I
wanted
to
talk
to
you
about.
We
met
with
a
representative
from
lime,
bikes,
lime,
that's
Li,
MEP,
they're,
a
national
company
who
oversees
ductless
bikes
and
scooters,
and
we
talked
to
them
about
accessibility
in
two
areas.
C
First
of
all,
they're
well
aware
of
the
issues
with
keeping
sidewalks
clear,
and
we
emphasize
that
point
to
look
at
being
proactive
in
clearing
sidewalks,
but
also
making
sure
they
stay
on
top
of
enforcement
when
people
don't
clear
their
bikes
out
of
the
path
to
travel
but
other
than
that,
we
also
advocated
to
have
the
vehicles
themselves
be
accessible,
which
is
the
scooters
and
the
bikes.
Now
we
know
that
not
every
disability
can
benefit
from
these
vehicles,
but
some
certainly
can-
and
this
was
something
that
the
Lyme
representative
hadn't
thought
of.
C
So
we
asked
him
if
he
had
reached
out
to
the
disability
community
about
these
issues
and
he
didn't
think
that
they
had.
He
wasn't
aware
that
they
had
so.
We
asked
him
to
start
with
that
to
maybe
hold
a
meeting
or
do
an
email
and
reach
out
to
people
with
disabilities
to
talk
about
accessibility
issues.
C
So
he
was
very
open
to
that
and
we
plan
to
follow
up
with
him
just
to
stay
in
the
loop
about
what
the
next
plans
are,
because,
as
we
know,
these
vehicles
are
not
allowed
on
the
streets
of
Boston
yet,
but
they
may
be
in
the
very
near
future.
And
then
the
last
thing
is
that
I
attended
a
talk
at
Harvard
University.
C
Another
thing
that
they're
working
on
that
we're
also
working
on
is
I,
don't
know
if
you've
seen
the
new,
a
new
design
feature,
which
is
stadium,
seating
for
active
areas
like
plazas
and
and
indoor
areas
where
they
have
rows
of
stadium
of
stairs
that
are
also
used
for
seating.
So
a
very
inventive
way
that
we're
working
on
that
is
to
make
the
stadium
steps
an
actual
ramp.
C
So
that
you
can
go
up
around
it
and
get
from
the
top
to
the
bottom
and
also
sit
in
the
middle,
so
New
York
has
done
that
on
the
High
Line
and
we
just
worked
with
a
company
who
presented
recently
to
have
that
design
in
the
Great
Hall
in
the
new
Winthrop
square
development.
So
really
innovative
things
that
New,
York
and
Boston
are
doing.
We're
really
excited
to
collaborate
on
and
Victor
is
also
hosting
a
conference
in
May
in
New
York
for
all
the
disability.
C
Commissioners
across
the
country,
so
I'll
be
attending
that
and
I'll
get
to
meet.
My
colleagues
from
there's,
probably
20
of
us
on.
We
do
a
monthly
call,
so
I'll
get
to
meet
disability
commissioners
from
California
and
Texas
and
Baltimore
Pennsylvania
Minnesota
and
a
number
of
others
so
I'm
excited
about
that.
So
we'll
share
best
practices
and
I'll
report
back
to
you
at
the
June
meeting
and
that
wraps
up
my
report.
If
anyone
has
questions
Carl
so.
E
I
heard
you
say
on
the
master
plan
regarding
the
Boston
Common,
with
the
steps
going
up
to
the
Statehouse,
that
input
would
be
valuable.
Would
it
help
I
get
complaints
all
the
time
as
a
VA
coordinator
was
just
a
house
for
the
help?
If
I
got
a
letter
from
the
state
health
thing
that
we
would
appreciate
that
depth
in
made
accessible?
Yes,.
C
C
B
Have
a
quick
comment
about
and
a
question
about,
going
back
to
the
meeting
you
mentioned
at
the
map
room
at
the
Boston
Public
Library
I
attended
that
meeting
and
it
was
not
a
mere
matter
of
inconvenience.
With
that
lift.
It
really
was
a
safety
issue
that
if
the
building
had
had
to
be
evacuated,
the
logistics
of
it,
it
was
very
difficult.
B
I,
like
a
number
of
people,
I'm
a
custom
when
needed
have
to
use
those
lift
lifts
and
it
was
one
of
the
more
difficult
ones.
I've
ever
tried
to
negotiate
getting
in
and
out
of
with
just
one
chair
and
so
I
didn't
know.
Is
there
I,
don't
know
that
such
things
exist
for
a
checklist
for
if
a
meeting
is
going
to
be
in
a
certain
place
and
even
I
think,
because
that
one
would
have
tact
as
they
might
have
felt
they
could
even
check
a
box.
That
said
it
was
a
wheelchair
accessible.
C
Get
our
way
that
we're
working
I'm
working
internally
with
the
director
of
the
library
so
we'll
make
sure
that
that
message
and
MassHealth
did
check
to
say
that
was
accessible
and
it
is
technically
accessible.
But
when
you
have
a
meeting
with
twenty
or
thirty
wheelchairs,
it's
definitely
not
a
great
site
for
it.
So
definitely
we're
gonna
I'm,
going
to
add
language
right
to
the
event
application
page
that
says
this,
and
that
was
really
a
matter
of
communication.
C
B
B
C
This
was
put
in
several
years
ago:
I
believe
it
was
before
I
was
working
for
the
city,
so
I
don't
know
the
history
of
it,
but
the
staff
at
property
management
for
the
city
who
oversee
facilities
at
the
library
has
been
have
been
very
helpful
and
accommodating
they're.
Looking
into
the
the
situation
right
now
as
we
speak
and
we're
gonna
do
a
site
visit
and
we're
really
gonna
look
at
it,
so
it
will
definitely
be
on
the
top
of
my
list
of
gigi's
excellent.
C
One
thing
about
master
plans:
is
they
don't
really
move
quickly?
So
no
I
would
say
there's
nothing.
You
need
to
do
at
this
point,
but
some
of
them,
like
the
library
one,
hasn't
even
started
yet
I,
don't
believe
the
Boston
Common
one
has
started
yet
and
City
Hall
plaza
has
been
going
on
and
we've
been
giving.
You
know
input
as
we
go
so
I
will.
You
know,
there's
always
a
chance
for
public
comment
and
at
that
time
you
know
I
do
my
advocating
internally
and
then
at
that
time.
K
N
Thank
You
Elizabeth
good
evening,
everyone,
my
name,
is
Patricia
Mendez
and
I.
Am
the
architectural
access
specialist
for
the
Commission
for
persons
with
disabilities?
I
have
a
brief
update
architectural
update,
but
I
also
want
to
follow
up
on
Elizabeth
a
comment
about
our
checklist.
We
have
been
finalizing
a
couple
one
new
checklist,
that
is
for
events
specifically
in
the
city
and
we
have
updated
of
two
other
checklists.
One
is
for
the
city,
plaza
events.
N
The
other
update
is
a
project
in
East
Boston
on
Congress
on
Condor
Street.
This
is
an
art
space
project
and
it
also
has
living
unit.
It
has
a
total
of
40
units.
Seven
of
them
are
condominium,
33
are
apartment
for
rent
and
in
the
street
side
on
Condor
Street.
They
also
have
artist
spaces
in
retail.
In
the
back
of
the
project,
there
is
an
interior
courtyard
and
it
also
has
a
roof
garden
space.
N
So
this
is
a
project
that
is
very
exciting
because
the
original
proposal
was
had
some
accessibility,
but
through
working
with
BPD
a
and
with
the
developer,
we
have
updated
the
design
to
have
fully
accessible
units.
All
of
the
units
will
be
adaptable
and
the
percentage
five
or
ten
percent
actually
because
a
city
money
will
be
accessible
and
that
is
in
East
Boston
that
is
under
review
under
BPD
a
East
Boston
Condor
Street
I
also
want
to
share
that.
N
This
month,
our
colleague,
Sarah
Lyon,
was
invited
to
present
in
a
forum
for
the
young
professional
intern
in
transportation,
shared
mobility,
conversation
and
she
did
a
great
job
representing
our
Commission
and
sharing
her
valuable
knowledge
on
matters
of
mobility
and
accessibility.
So
thank
you
for
that.
Sarah
and.

A
A
I
went
through
the
notes
of
the
previous
meeting
and
I
do
not
believe
that
the
board
voted
to
write
a
letter
to
see
garden
simply
that
we
would
keep
them
that
the
Commission
would
keep
the
board
informed
of
ongoing
accessibility,
improvements
and
kind
of
keep
that
line
of
communication
between
the
board
and
the
Commission
and
TD
Garden.
But
I
do
not
believe
that
there
was
a
vote
to
write
a
letter.
C
E
C
B
Olivia
seconds
we'll
take
we'll
go
ahead
and
take
a
vote.
Then
all
in
favor
aye.
F
B
Yeah
I'll.
Do
it?
That's
terrific.
Do
we
so
you
said
the
hearing.
Is
this
coming
Monday?
Yes,
okay!
Is
that
the
timeframe
that
I,
knowing
how
how
quickly
Olivia
is
capable
of
marshalling
her
energies
and
getting
things
out,
I
think
that's
excellent
representation
for
an
issue
that
she's
taken
leadership
on
and.
B
We
might
think
of
trying
to
have
a
paragraph
with
that
kind
of
language
available
for
to
other
people
for
going
forward
great
with
that,
we
will
then
move
on
to
public
input
all
right
if
they're
members
of
the
public
who
would
like
to
come
forward.
If
you
could,
please
come
to
the
microphone
and
state
your
name.
