Description
Moakley Park Phase 1 Design Meeting #2, July 20, 2022
A
Okay,
I
think
that
I'm,
ready
to
start
people
I'm
sure
will
be
jumping
in
as
we
go,
but
I
appreciate
you
guys
joining
very
promptly,
and
so
we
can
get
started.
First.
I
want
to
introduce
myself
I'm
Allison,
Perlman
I
work
for
Boston
Parks
and
Recreation
and
I'm
the
project
manager
for
moakley,
Park
and
I'm
so
happy
to
have
so
many
people
with
us
here
tonight.
I
wanted
to
First
acknowledge
the
heat
it's
so
so
hot
I
hope
you
all
are
staying
cool.
A
A
I
see
a
lot
of
familiar
names,
some
new
names
and
I
just
really
appreciate
you
choosing
to
participate
in
this
process
and
shape
the
park
that
you
use
that
you
live
next
to
or
that
you
wish
you
could
use
more.
So
thank
you
for
joining
us.
I
appreciate
that
also
I
want
to
acknowledge
any
elected
officials
or
staff
that
maybe
join
us
tonight.
A
B
A
Okay.
So,
before
we
jump
into
the
presentation,
I
just
want
to
go
over
some
basic,
slides,
I'm,
really
sorry
for
the
people
that
have
joined
so
many
of
our
meetings,
but
these
are
really
important
for
people
to
know
and
understand
how
the
process
works
and
the
services
that
are
available
to
you.
So
interpretation
wasn't
requested
tonight.
But
I
do
want
people
to
know
that
for
future
engagements
we
are
eager
to
hear
all
voices
and
are
able
to
offer
translation
or
interpretation
Services
if
it's
requested.
A
So
please
let
other
community
members
know
maybe
they're
hesitant
to
join
our
meetings,
because
English
isn't
their
first
language
and
we
can
help
solve
that
barrier.
So
please
let
them
know
and
they
can
reach
out
to
me
directly.
My
email
is
on
that
slide.
I
will
put
it
in
the
chat
right
now,
just
put
it
in
there.
A
There
we
go
and-
and
we
can
get
that
service
for
the
people
that
need
it
next
slide,
we're
recording
the
meeting
and
we'll
post
to
the
project
website
within
a
week.
Please
share
what
you
learned
tonight
and
direct
your
neighbors
friends
and
family
to
visit
our
website
for
them
to
view
when
their
schedules
allow
and
I
will
put
that
in
the
chat
as
well.
This
is
really
the
website
for
all
things.
Moakley.
A
Next
slide,
we
want
to
ensure
this
conversation
feels
accessible
to
everyone
and
each
one
of
you
feels
comfortable
sharing
your
questions
and
comments.
Please
be
respectful
and
mindful
of
others
time
when
you're
asking
questions
so
that
everyone
has
the
opportunity
to
participate
and
I
really
appreciate
people
keep
the
questions,
Project,
Specific
and
not
personal,
to
encourage
a
conversation.
That's
solution
driven
again,
if
we
aren't
able
to
get
to
all
of
your
questions
tonight,
just
shoot
me.
A
You
know
tonight
we're
doing
the
platform
Zoom
meetings,
which
means
that
we
can
see
everybody
and
you
can
see
us
which
I
think
feels
a
little
bit
more
genuine
to
see
people's
faces
and-
and
so
with
that
we
have
a
few
kind
of
rules
and
guidelines
that
we
need
to
follow
to
make
sure
that
it's
a
that
we
can
continue
to
have
a
productive
meeting.
So,
first,
during
the
presentation
portion,
we
ask
you
to
keep
your
microphone
off.
A
But
if
you
really
want
to
do
something
during
the
presentation,
you
can
use
the
nonverbal
responses,
which
are
just
a
little
dot
at
the
bottom,
and
it
gives
you
the
opportunity
under
reactions,
is
the
opportunity
to
do
a
thumbs
up
for
thumbs
down.
If
you
want
also
I
know
that
people's
questions
come
up
or
their
comments
come
up
while
we're
presenting
so
just
add
it
to
the
chat
and
we'll
make
sure
to
get
to
the
chat
at
the
end
of
the
presentation
we'll
get
to
all
those
questions.
A
In
addition,
during
the
discussion
period,
we
will
visit
those
chat,
questions
and
then
we'll
provide
answers,
or
you
can
verbally
ask
a
question,
so
you
can
raise
a
hand
I
prefer
using
the
the
hand
option,
which
is,
which
is
just
the
hand
icon
at
the
bottom.
If
you
can
raise
that
up,
if
you
can't
figure
that
out
just
raise
your
hand
and
we'll
be
looking
through
and
then
once
we
call
on
you,
you
can
unmute
yourself
or
we'll
unmute
you
and
you
can
ask
your
question.
I,
don't
see
anybody
on
the
phone?
A
A
So
tonight
I'll
introduce
our
project
team.
We'll
discuss
why
we
think
moakley
Park
is
so
important.
We'll
provide
a
brief
project
overview
and
engage
and
talk
about
the
engagement
work.
That's
happened
since
the
last
meeting,
we'll
dive
into
details
of
Phase
One
Design,
which
I
imagine,
is
why
everyone's
here
and
then
we'll
wrap
up
with
next
steps,
at
which
point
we'll
open
it
up
to
the
question
and
answer
period.
A
Let
me
just
go
and
go
back
one
more.
So
I
want
to
note
that
the
design
that
we'll
present
today
is
really
an
accumulation
of
years
of
work,
both
by
the
design
team
and
the
community
in
consideration
of
your
time
tonight.
The
previous
work
will
be
very
brief,
but
for
those
of
you
new
to
the
process,
there's
a
wealth
of
information
on
our
website.
A
A
First
I
want
to
acknowledge
the
city
team
I
work
very
closely
with
commissioner
woods
and
the
chief
landscape
architect,
Liza
Meyer,
who
have
been
integral
to
the
moakley
park
project
from
the
very
beginning:
they've
provided
guidance
on
design
operations,
maintenance
and
park.
Partnerships
I
also
want
to
organize
Christine's,
not
here
today,
but
we
are
lucky
to
have
another
Park
moderator
who
will
be
helping
in
terms
of
technical.
A
Expertise
for
zoom
and
then
we
have
Jen
with
Keem
from
Boston
Harbor.
Now
Jen
is
the
engagement,
the
community
engagement
specialist
and
they
have
brought
a
whole
new
realm
of
programming
to
the
park
that
we
couldn't
have
even
imagined.
They
have
brought
programming
that
you
may
have
seen
in
the
last
month
and
we'll
talk
about,
and
that
has
allowed
us
to
expand
who's
at
the
table
and
who
gets
to
be
involved
in
this
design
process.
A
C
D
A
A
A
So
it
looks
like
there's
only
20
of
people
that
are
new
to
the
mokley
park
meetings
and
a
majority
of
people
have
attended
at
least
one
meeting.
Although
we've
had
a
lot
of
meetings,
so
I
guess,
there's
probably
you
know
a
gap
in
terms
of
of
knowledge
of
what
you
have
learned
in
the
process
and
then
also
the
there's,
there's
quite
a
few
people
that
have
attended
the
park.
Events
as
well
and
provided
design
feedback.
So
that's
fantastic.
A
So
that's
helpful
for
us
to
kind
of
understand
how
to
present
and
again
I,
just
I
really
recommend
that
the
people
that
are
new
to
this
process
go
to
the
website
if
you're
interested
in
this
project
and
learn
more
from
there,
because
there's
so
much
great
information
and
we
try
to
document
the
community
process
as
best
we
could
so
that
you
could
see
the
diversity
of
comments
that
we're
receiving
okay.
So
why
moakley?
A
Hopefully
most
of
you
tonight
that
are
have
joined
us,
either
know
where
mokley
Park
is
or
you've
actually
been
there
and
you
used
the
park
yourself.
So
we
really
believe
that
the
greatest
asset
we
have
are
the
current
infrastructure
within
an
adjacent
to
moakley
park.
The
park
is
adjacent
to
one
of
the
best
Urban
beaches,
in
my
opinion,
around
Carson
Beach,
and
it's
next
to
Boston
Harbor.
But
it's
also
surrounded
by
a
vibrant,
diverse
community.
A
Moakley
Park
is
60
Acres.
You
can
see
in
the
left-hand
image
there.
It's
a
huge
Urban
Park,
that's
really
pretty
close
to
downtown
Boston.
It's
pretty
unheard
of
to
have
this
much
up
to
space
near
the
water
near
downtown.
It's
also
right
now
primarily
serves
as
a
recreational,
Athletic
Facility
and
it's
a
significant
open
space
that
serves
South
Boston
and
the
surrounding
neighborhoods.
A
The
picture
on
the
right
is
taken
in
November
of
last
year,
showing
significant
flooding
and
as
we
look
to
the
Future,
this
flooding
is
projected
to
increase.
We
believe
that
Park
can
continue
to
provide
Recreation
and
also
reconnect
the
community
to
each
other
and
the
Waterfront
and
protect
our
neighborhoods
from
flooding
and
Heat.
C
C
C
This
end
of
the
flood
barrier,
which
again,
is
that
red
dashed
line
will
be
implemented
as
part
of
phase
one
and
within
this,
which
we'll
get
into
a
little
bit
more
detail?
Is
the
coastal
landscape
with
nature
paths
and
Overlook,
and
operations
and
maintenance
building,
as
well
as
public
restrooms,
a
community
Plaza
and
the
premier
multi-use
field?
C
So
you
may
have
seen
us
out
there.
We've
been
poking
and
digging
holes
in
the
ground
and
the
reason
that
we
had
to
do
that,
as
some
of
you
may
know,
is
early
in
the
process.
Some
soils
that
is
typical
in
urban
fill
that
at
higher
levels
of
some
commonly
found
materials
but
including
lead
and
other
things
were
found,
so
the
most
imminent
hazards
were
removed
immediately
and
then
below.
Ground
are
other
layers
of
things
that
we
really
need
to
get
a
handle
on
specifics
so
that
we
can
manage
it
during
the
construction.
C
So,
in
addition
to
that,
we
looked
at
groundwater,
which
is
high
and
close
to
the
surface
and
important
to
be
mindful
of
and
manage
in
addition
to
the
flooding.
It's
one
of
the
reasons
that
some
areas
in
Mowgli
just
never
seem
to
dry
out
and
then
also
just
looking
at
storm
water
and
the
impacts
that
that
has
on
the
ground.
We
also
took
a
really
strong
look
at
the
coastal
and
groundwater
modeling
and
the
impact
that
they
have
on
each
other.
So
as
sea
level
continues
to
rise.
What
does
that
do
to
the
groundwater?
A
Thank
you,
Sherry,
okay.
So
what
you
see
in
front
of
you
is
the
list
of
Engagement
events
and
early
action
items
that
has
happened
since
last
meeting,
which
is
just
March
and
I'm.
Just
I
feel
so
good
about
this.
We,
as
you,
can
see
we've
we
really
from
the
beginning.
We
have.
We
have
used
a
multi-faceted
engagement
strategy
since
2018,
where
we
reached
a
lot
of
people
and
we
continue
to
evolve
that
process
through
the
help
from
our
partners
at
Boston,
Harbor
now
and
South
Boston
Neighborhood
House
from
this
engagement.
A
We've
learned
a
lot
from
you,
the
experts
of
your
own
neighborhood,
but
as
I
mentioned,
this
slide
shows
just
what's
happened
since
March,
which
is,
is
pretty
exciting.
That
there's
been
a
number
of
touch
points
to
meet
people
where
they
are
to
provide
programming
and
listen
to
what
people
Envision
for
the
future
of
mokley
Park.
A
So
we
had
the
biobus
Engagement
online
surveys,
the
Boston
cyclist,
Union,
Pride,
ride,
Carson
Beach
team,
bash,
Mary,
Ellen
McCormick's
summer
Sizzler,
basketball
tournament,
the
community
meeting
tonight
and
then
the
monthly
Park
cleanups
continue.
I
want
to
say
that
five
out
of
seven
of
these
recorded
by
Boston
Harbor
now
so
thank
you
to
Boston
Harbor.
Now
this
really
speaks
to
the
importance
of
Partnerships
and
expanding
our
ability
to
involve
more
residents
in
the
community
process
and
shaping
open
space
and
Waterfront
design.
C
So
this
is
just
a
little
bit
of
more
of
a
zoom
in
on
the
phase.
One
area
and
I
think
it's
helpful
just
to
understand
the
vast
diversity
of
space
spaces
that
are
going
to
be
included
in
this
from
really
small,
intimate
seating
areas
to
Big
Open
Fields,
to
winding
paths
through
the
coastal
landscape.
To
you
know,
plazas
that
will
allow
for
Community
Gathering
birthday
parties
barbecues,
as
well
as
the
importance
of
that
operation
and
maintenance
building.
C
That
sets
up
the
success
of
the
park
by
having
the
maintenance
staff
close
at
hand
and
the
importance
of
public
bathrooms
and
I
think.
Another
thing
that
this
first
phase
does
is
really
starts
to
connect
across
the
park.
We
were
starting
to
hear
a
lot
through
the
community
process
that
it's
hard
to
navigate
through
the
park
and
it
takes
up
a
big
footprint,
and
so,
in
this
case
you
start
to
see
Pathways
that
are
moving
through
from
the
neighborhoods
into
the
park
and
accessing
all
of
those
different
components.
D
Thanks
Sherry,
so
all
that
feedback's
been
super
helpful
for
us
as
we
continue
to
evolve
and
refine
the
design
elements
within
the
park.
And
what
we
want
to
do
tonight
with
you
is
talk
about
refinements
to
three
primary
areas
in
the
park
and
get
get
a
little
bit
of
your
feedback.
The
first
is
the
Overlook
in
the
coastal
landscape.
The
second
is
the
Premier
multi-use
field
in
the
area
is
just
immediately
around
it,
and
third,
is
the
community
Plaza
the
entry
Plaza
for
this
part
of
the
park?
D
Next,
so
we'll
start
with
the
Overlook
in
the
coastal
landscape
and
what
you
see
are
the
results
of
multiple
parts
of
the
community
engagement
feedback.
It's
giving
us
a
lot
of
great
information
to
help
us
refine
the
designs,
so
starting
in
the
upper
left
hand
corner
we're
getting
a
lot
of
interest
in
making
this
a
relaxing
place
a
place
to
enjoy
the
view
which
is
really
important
and
also
a
communal
place,
a
place
for
people
from
the
neighborhood
to
gather
to
celebrate,
to
picnic
to
barbecue.
D
The
kinds
of
features
that
we're
interested
in
are
are
things
that
bring
shade
or
shade
structures.
Picnic
tables,
lounge
chairs,
barbecue,
maybe
a
little
bit
of
informal
play
as
well.
People
seem
interested
in
learning
about
Coastal
animals,
climate
Solutions
and
Coastal
plants,
which
is
really
great
and
that's
what
the
coastal
Park
is
really
about,
and
then
the
question:
how
do
you
want
to
chill
here,
right
and
and
the
three
most
popular
responses?
D
Taking
into
account
the
Waterfront
views,
which
are
fantastic
from
this
elevated
location,
again,
shade,
shade
structures
and
third,
a
barbecue
area
for
gathering
for
families
of
different
sizes
and
types?
And
then
all
of
this
could
be
enhanced
by
learning
opportunities
through
informational
signage,
predominantly
perhaps
some
interactive
exhibits
so
that
that
has
started
to
shape
what
this
is.
The
view
of
the
coastal
landscape
and
the
Overlook
that
we
presented
during
schematic
design,
and
so
you
start
to
see.
D
Excuse
me
the
quality
of
the
the
landscape
and
the
fact
that
we
are
at
this
elevated
location
to
see
out
over
Dave
Boulevard
across
Carson
Beach
into
the
harbor
and
I.
Think
it's
going
to
be
one
of
the
first
opportunities
people
have
from
inside
the
park
to
really
see
all
the
way
out
to
the
harbor.
Next.
D
From
the
feedback
again,
there
was
an
emphasis
in
overlooked,
seating
and
picnicking,
and
really
thinking
about
a
variety
of
of
seating.
There,
some
seating
that
was
with
picnic
tables
some
that
had
backs
up
for
people.
We
heard
a
lot
through
the
process,
the
last
couple
years
about
Collective
picnic
tables,
not
just
small
ones,
because
people's
families
are
are
bigger
and
they
like
to
bring
lots
of
friends
a
barbecue
area,
and
we
also
heard
a
lot
about
bird
watching
and
nature
education
just
being
out
in
nature
as
as
primary
priorities.
D
Next,
and
so
this
is
the
refined
plan
of
that
area
of
the
park,
the
area
pretty
much
on
the
top.
That's
colored
green.
Is
this
Coastal
landscape
and
the
way
in
which
we're
designing
that
or
a
series
of
nature
paths
through
a
landscape
with
Rises
and
Falls
beautiful
native
vegetation,
a
few
Pitch
Pine
trees
here
and
there,
but
you're
really
getting
the
sensation
of
being
on
a
waterfront
in
a
habit,
the
habitat
that's
going
to
attract
birds
and
bird
Watchers
alike.
D
The
barbecue
area
has
been
Consolidated.
It
used
to
be
two
spaces,
two
lobes
and
from
some
of
your
feedback
we
decided
to
pull
it
all
together.
So
the
left
side
of
that
Overlook
has
a
number
of
barbecue
tables
and
grills
of
different
sizes
to
accommodate
different
groups
of
different
size.
Is
you
can
see
a
sprinkling
of
trees
on
the
left
hand,
side
at
the
right
hand,
side.
D
There
are
a
lot
of
trees
to
really
create
a
Shady
Grove
and
then,
along
the
edge
of
the
Overlook,
you
can
sit
on
a
series
of
seat
walls
that
again
offer
views
both
of
the
harbor
and
of
the
coastal
landscape
right
in
front
of
that.
The
other
piece
of
this
is
the
Orange
Lines
just
to
the
right
of
that.
These
are
opportunities
for
again
sitting
being
immersed
in
that
Coastal
landscape
being
able
to
engage
with
the
nature
and
the
birds
and
the
vegetation
that's
there.
So
we've
spent
a
lot
of
time
really
refining
this
consolidating.
D
C
So
I'm
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
multi-use
field
and
what
we
heard
a
lot
from
folks
was
that
having
the
field
having
a
premier
ball
field
was
really
important
and
that
Not
only
was
it
really
great
for
the
folks
that
are
playing
and
the
teams
and
the
coaches.
But
it's
also
great
for
the
community.
C
Lots
of
people
come
watch
even
if
they're
they
don't
know
somebody
playing,
and
so
there
was
a
call
for
great
connections
to
the
Neighborhood
Senior
friendly
areas
where
folks
can
comfortably
watch
their
grandchildren
or
anyone
play
lighting
for
night
games
and
then,
of
course,
keeping
in
mind
safety.
So
nobody
gets
hit
with
a
ball,
but
the
seating,
really.
The
diversity
of
response
here
was
really
interesting.
So
talking
about
a
bunch
of
different
ways
to
sit
around
the
field,
so
components
of
this
will
be
obviously
a
shaded
Dugout
and
you
can
see
bleacher
or
seating.
C
In
the
background
there
there's
terrorist
seating
that
has
lawn
and
granite
blocks.
We've
got
a
seat
wall
with
a
bench
on
top
of
it
backs
and
armrests
are
really
important
for
folks,
the
sloped
lawn
component
that
allows
you
to
really
just
show
up
and
sit
and
have
a
little
bit
of
a
an
elevated
View
and
then,
of
course,
bring
your
own
chair
and
sit
wherever
you'd
like
I.
Think
that
that,
especially
for
parents
is
really
handy,
they
may
have
more
than
one
child
at
the
park.
Somebody's
playing
ball
somebody's
at
the
playground.
C
You
can
be
in
an
optimal
spot,
so
here's
that
plan
and
obviously
the
premier
field,
is
Central
to
this,
and
you
can
see
the
overlay
of
the
rectangular
field
here,
which
allows
for
a
lot
of
different
sports
to
be
played
on
this
particular
site.
There's
a
lot
of
different
parts
and
pieces
to
the
ball
field.
There's
lighting!
There's
a
scoreboard
there's
a
batting
cage.
You
know
there's
bleachers
and
dugouts,
so
that
is
all
Consolidated
into
this
area,
and
then
you
can
see
surrounding
the
ball
field.
Are
these
areas
that
then
facilitate
more
seating?
C
So
here's
some
of
the
sloped
lawn
that
you
saw
images
of
backed
by
trees
that
will
provide
shade.
We
also
have
benches
that
wrap
some
of
the
seating
lawn
areas
and
then
another
area
where
we've
got
that
Terrace
lawn,
that
has
the
granite,
Boulder
seat
walls
with
lawn
in
between
bleachers
and
then
the
benches,
which
are
which
are
interspersed
through.
All
of
this.
D
D
The
bottom
one
is
that
Mercer-
and
there
are
two
in
between
all
of
those
crosswalks-
now
have
a
direct
entry
into
the
park
itself,
so
whether
you're
entering
on
the
northern
part
into
that
Community
Plaza
or
entering
on
the
southern
part
closer
to
the
baseball
field
and
the
multi-use
field,
you
know
drawing
people
right
into
the
park
is
really
important
and
then
around
to
the
center
of
the
park
next
foreign.
We
want
to
make
sure
this
all
feels
very
much
knitted
to
the
neighborhood
on
the
community
Plaza
itself.
D
This
is
actually
one
area
we
didn't
program
in
schematic
design
and
we
left
for
this
moment
to
really
figure
out
what
what
you
all
wanted
to
do
here,
and
so
we
asked
a
lot
of
questions.
What
types
of
programming
are
you
interested?
In
top
left?
You
can
see
food
trucks,
pop-up
food
vendors,
food
was
was
really
popular,
flexible
programming,
in
some
cases,
arts
and
culture.
Even
recreational
interest
was
was
important.
D
How
do
you
want
the
community
Plaza
to
look
and
feel
right?
There
was
a
lot
of
comments
about
nature.
Inspired
you
see,
lower
down,
vegetative
and
Lush
right.
A
lot
of
discussion
about
Lush
environmental
Gardens
definitely
wanted
playfulness
in
it,
wanted
it
to
feel
welcoming
with
integrated
Furniture.
In
fact,
we
had
commentary
here
from
multiple
kinds
of
furniture,
whether
it's
flexible
or
integrated
or
the
like,
and
we
also
wanted.
D
We
also
heard
a
little
bit,
but
that
once
you
get
in
there,
you
want
it
to
feel
a
little
bit
enclosed
and
intimate
as
well
ornamental
grasses
native
plantings.
You
can
see
this
idea
of
seasonal,
Gardens
and
plantings
is
really
rich
and
continues
to
come
up
and
a
lot
of
trees,
which
is
really
really
important
and
we'll
show
you
some
of
that
as
well.
D
You
want
to
see
things
like
seasonal
Gardens,
shaded,
seeding,
shaded,
swings
spaces
to
explore
and
even
water
play
and
then
finally,
the
array
of
activities
again
Gardens
seeding,
perhaps
a
small
performance
area,
a
splash
pad,
and
we
had
some
response
too,
on
a
basketball,
half
court,
which
was
great.
So
what
we've
done
is
then
looked
at
some
of
those
elements.
D
Next,
you
can
see
these
are
some
of
the
the
top
responses,
but
we've
integrated
others,
interactive,
flexible
Plaza
space,
some
lawn
for
flexibility
and
play
varied
seating
areas,
included,
swings
and
also
Garden
features
and
Lush
vegetation.
Next
and
so
oops
there
you
go,
and
so
we've
started
to
design
the
outline
or
the
framework
of
this
in
a
couple
different
ways.
The
orange
Pathways
again
show
you
how
you
enter
from
the
crosswalks
and
and
get
into
the
main
part
of
the
plaza
you
can
see.
D
The
plaza
is
immediately
adjacent
to
a
parking
area,
and
so
that's
a
great
place
for
food
trucks
to
be
able
to
conveniently
come
right
up
to
the
edge
in
this
options
that
will
show
you
you'll
be
able
to
see
a
lot
of
trees
on
the
left
hand,
side
with
the
community
path
and
the
running
track.
You'll
see
some
options
for
a
lawn
area.
Both
will
have
water
features.
Both
will
have
some
area
for
a
flexible
Plaza.
Both
will
have
some
combinations
of
seating.
Both
will
have
some
seasonal,
Gardens
and
importantly
to
the
upper
right.
D
We
have
included
that
a
half
court
basketball
right
in
the
center
as
well,
next
and
so
option.
One
here
is
an
option
that
really
focuses
on
a
little
bit
more
lawn
space
and
a
few
seating
areas
as
well,
so
on
the
edges.
You'll
notice,
on
the
edges
of
each
of
these
green
triangular
pieces,
We've
labeled,
those
as
Gardens.
So
as
you
enter
from
the
city
that
back
edge
of
those
spaces
will
all
be
Lush
Gardens
and
then
those
will
open
up
to
Lawns.
D
The
one
in
the
middle
of
the
plaza
will
be
relatively
flat
for
play
with
a
seat
Edge,
the
one
just
below
it.
The
two
just
below
it
near
to
the
baseball
field
will
actually
be
sloped,
so
you
actually
get
a
great
view
out
to
the
baseball
field.
You
can
see
integrated
seating
on
the
edges
of
the
pieces.
Those
are
the
orange
lines
you
can
see
here,
a
central
water
feature.
D
You
can
also
see
the
half
court
basketball
all
and
then
the
orange
squares
are
the
the
idea
that
you
could
set
up
a
number
of
tents
or
other
kinds
of
activities
for
flexible
programming.
So
this
one
really
emphasizes
lawn
Plaza
seeding,
but
it
still
includes
some
of
the
other
elements
like
Garden
features
that
came
out
of
the
the
community
engagement
next.
C
And
this
one
you'll
see
that
this
version
has
more
increased
Garden
space
and
more
Plaza.
So
there
is
more
flexibility
here,
there's
a
little
bit
more
paved
area,
you'll
see
here.
So
this
area
now
is
all
garden
and
the
slopes
lawn
is
really
focused
more
in
this
area.
Towards
the
ball
field,
there
is
still
a
central
water
feature,
but
it's
slightly
rotated
and
moved
off
to
the
side
to
create
more
of
a
central
space
for
Plaza
that
could
host
here,
farmers
market
or
some
other
event,
as
well
as
a
varied
collection
of
seating.
C
This
is
more
cafe,
table
and
chairs.
This
has
got
benches.
Some
are
double-sided
the
seat,
walls
integrated
into
the
landform,
and
you
can
see
here
over
at
the
half
court.
This
is
really
starting
to
feel
more,
like
a
a
node
with
seating,
elevated
seating,
to
see
the
basketball
court
and
really
make
this
feel
its
own
space
and
then
there's
some
seating
around
these
trees
here
to
support
the
water
feature,
and
you
can
see
on
this
side.
C
And
these
are
some
of
the
options
that
are
available
for
the
water
feature.
You
can
see
here.
This
one
is
integrated,
they're,
ground
Jets.
So
when
they're
not
on
it's
a
plaza-
and
here
you
can
see
sort
of
the
variety
of
seating
with
a
seat.
Wall
enclosing
the
area
here,
similarly
ground
Jets,
but
this
pavement
is
specialized
and
is
specific
to
the
Fountain
itself.
The
water
feature
itself
here
with
stones.
C
D
C
Thank
you,
and
so
just
to
conclude,
I
think
we
are
interested
in
hearing
from
folks
more
specific
feedback
about
the
Community
Plaza
design,
because
this
is
really
the
first
time
you're
seeing
design
ideas
for
the
space
and
so
I'm
just
going
to
cover
the
schedule
and
next
steps
and
then
we'll
open
it
up
to
q
a
and
we
can
talk
specifically
about
the
community,
Plaza
or
anything
else
that
you
have
questions
about.
But
we
can
jump
back
in
to
those
slides
as
appropriate.
C
C
While
all
this
is
happening,
we
are
dealing
with
a
very
robust
process
of
environmental
permitting,
and
while
we
really
hope
that
we
can
accomplish
it
all
in
18
months,
it's
many
different
agents
agencies
from
local
to
state
to
Federal,
and
it
is
a
really
involved
process.
So
that
will
be
taking
place
all
through
the
next
18
months.
Once
that's
concluded,
we
will
then
be
aiming
to
head
into
construction
again.
That's
from
these
documents
that
were
produced
and
then
so
around
middle
of
2024
into
2025
would
be
the
construction
time.
C
So
ongoing
things,
just
you
will
see
more
machines
out
there
poking
holes
in
the
ground,
there'll
be
site
inspections
again,
we'll
be
moving
through
the
permitting
and
phase
one
construction
documents.
You
will
continue
to
be
involved
in
monthly
Park
cleanups,
there's
going
to
be
a
movie
night
on
August
30th
and
fall
bulb
planting
in
October
of
2022
and
again.
Here's
that
website
that
Allison
mentioned,
which
has
all
things
locally
available
to
keep
track
of.
A
A
C
C
C
A
So,
just
to
clarify
that
building
is
really
about
maintenance
Staffing
our
right
now
we
we
have
just
a
handful
of
staff
members
that
are
in
our
maintenance
department
and
then
they
also
work
on
a
lot
of
other
parks
in
South
Boston.
The
idea
is,
is
that
we've
heard
from
the
community
how
important
maintenance
is
I
can
see
it
coming
up
in
the
chat
about
the
maintenance
plan.
A
As
you
can
see,
we've
already
started
building
our
Partnerships
so
that
we
get
more
programming
happening
in
the
park,
but
part
of
that
is
building
Partnerships
to
help
figure
out.
How
do
we
better
fund
and
Elevate
the
maintenance
of
this
park?
The
coastal
Landscapes
will
require
more
maintenance,
there's
certain
things
that
will
require
more
maintenance.
There's
certain
things
will
require
less
maintenance,
as
part
of
this
plan
too,
but
kind
of
balancing
that
out
and
making
sure
that
that
we
deliver
what
has
been
asked
for
by
the
community,
which
is
a
high
level
of
maintenance.
C
And
there's
a
follow-up
question
about
posting.
The
maintenance
plan,
which
has
not
been
fully
drafted,
certainly
as
Allison
said
and
Chris
also
has
been
heavily
involved
in
having
those
larger
conversations
about
Partnerships
and
strategies
to
make
sure
that
the
maintenance
plan
is
robust
and
will
meet
the
needs
of
the
park.
A
Yes,
that's
absolutely
true,
and
once
we
have
those
maintenance
plans,
kind
of
more
in
plan
form
we're
happy
to
share
out
with
the
community,
and
you
know.
Obviously,
we
will
not
be
able
to
start
construction
of
the
phase,
one
in
particular
the
coastal
landscape.
Until
we
have
those
maintenance
planned
for
this
particular
area
down
and
ready
to
be
delivered
to
the
public.
That's
right.
C
C
It
is
hard
to
see
the
elevations.
That's
true,
and
a
lot
of
this
is
conceptual
grading
through
design
development
and
construction
documents.
Those
will
all
be
nailed
down.
But
again,
this
is
roughly
22
feet
these
slope
down
into
the
surrounding
area,
which
is
generally
15
16
in
some
places
it's
a
little
bit
lower
in
some
places.
It's
a
little
bit
higher.
C
A
Okay,
that
is
a
really
good
question.
We've
talked
a
little
bit
about
permitting
we're,
not
quite
in
the
phase
yet
where
we've
developed
the
operations
plan,
but
from
what
I
understand
is
that
we're
going
to
be
working
really
closely
with
the
director
of
Permitting
at
parks
and
the
community
to
kind
of
better
understand?
How
do
we
set
priorities
for
the
South,
Boston,
neighborhood
and
and
Youth?
C
In
this
plan,
Dave
Boulevard
does
remain
for
now,
but
absolutely
as
as
the
question
sort
of
Harkens
back
to
the
larger
Vision
plan,
where
Dave
Boulevard
was
either
completely
turned
over
to
pedestrians
or
at
certain
times
a
day
or
the
week,
and
that
remains
I.
Think
part
of
the
larger
Transportation
strategy,
part
of
the
conversation
and.
A
I'm
sorry
I
want
to
make
sure
right,
because
this
keeps
coming
up
and
I
feel
like
in
the
media
too,
about
the
day
Boulevard
and
what's
happening
with
it
and
I.
Just
want
to
be
really
clear
that
you
know
Day
Boulevard
is
state-owned,
roadway
and
Parks
is,
will
really
rely
on
the
state's
determination
for
what
the
best
path
forward
of
that
roadway
is.
A
Maybe
through
this
current
Mass
DOT
study
for
Morrissey
and
K
Circle,
then
we
are
going
to
be
prepared
to
help
support
those
decisions
and
to
provide
the
best
possible
open
space
connections
that
we
can
and
I
want.
Also,
as
tie
on
to
that,
someone
had
asked
about
transportation
and
access
better
access
to
the
park.
That
kind
of
goes
hand
in
hand
with
from
the
beginning.
We
heard
loud
and
clear,
and
basically
you
know
it's
just
good
good
City
practice
to
to
reach
out
beyond
our
jurisdictions.
A
A
How
do
we
do
short-term
improvements
along
Old
Colony
Ave,
even
though
that's
kind
of
beyond
our
jurisdiction,
but
working
with
any
new
Marilyn
McCormick
plans
and
the
Redevelopment
there
and
thinking
about
how
do
we
provide
better
access
to
the
part?
Because
we
understand
that
we
can
build
this
beautiful
park
and
if
we
can't
get
to
you
there
safely,
then
we
really
kind
of
missed
the
mark
on
that
one.
A
C
C
There
are
lights
being
proposed
within
the
park
and
that
there'll
be
a
different
there'll,
be
a
whole
variety
of
Lights
there'll
be
pedestrian
way.
Lights:
they'll
be
taller
lights
for
bigger
Pathways,
as
well
as
the
ball
field
and
I,
don't
know
if
cameras
have
been
discussed
yet
I
know
they
come
up
in
every
Park,
Allison
I,
don't
know.
If
you
have
a
comment
on
that.
A
Yeah,
you
know
cameras
Parts
generally
doesn't
plan
for
cameras
in
terms
of
it's.
It's
our
design
move,
it's
really
led
by
working
closely
with
BPD
the
state,
but
also
potentially
be
involved,
depending
on
where
the
cameras
could
be
located
and
then
working
with
Community
leaders
to
make
sure
that
that
is
the
best
thing
for
the
neighborhood
and
the
residents.
Some
people
feel
very
strongly
about
cameras.
Other
people
do
not,
and
so
we
really
just
need
to
get
a
pulse.
C
A
A
In
addition,
we
recently
received
Federal
earmark
funding
to
further
the
southern
alignment
of
the
project
that
we'll
be
working
closely
with
the
state
on
and
then
also
we
have
we're
seeking
and
we're
kind
of
Midway
through
Federal
grant
process
and
understanding
how
much
money
could
potentially
come
through
that
and
seeking
state
grants
as
well.
So
the
there's
a
lot
of
falls
in
the
air,
but
there's
also
a
lot
of
confidence
that
we
will
be
able
to
construct
phase
one
on
the
timeline.
That's
provided.
C
The
street
hockey
rink
is
still
a
part
of
the
plan,
it's
just
outside
of
phase
one,
and
it
was
refurbished
not
too
long
ago
as
a
part
of
the
city's
various
courts
contract.
So
that
is
where
that
sits,
and
it
still
remains
parking
is
located
right
here
and
some
of
that
parking
will
be
for
the
maintenance
staff
or
actually
in
this
area.
C
A
Yeah
we
we
haven't
heard
this
request
before
we
are
currently
thinking
about
a
resiliency
Hub
in
terms
of
Emergency,
Management
and
thinking
about
how
to
connect
the
community
to
Emergency
Services
in
time
of
need.
We
have
not
heard
about
the
EMS
or
the
police
substation,
but
there's
certainly
there's
there's
buildings,
Beyond
phase,
one
that
certainly
could
house
that
and
so
we'd
be
interested
to
kind
of
hear
from
the
community.
If
that's
something
that's
important
and
then
clearly,
we
would
have
to
work
with
BPD.
C
So
how
many
parking
spaces
you
know
right
now,
we've
carved
out
the
space
and
we
are
taking
a
look
at
how
many
spaces
can
fit
reasonably,
and
it's
also
going
to
be
a
flexible
space.
You
can
see
here
that
we've
indicated
some
food
trucks.
You
know
they
could
sit
there.
This
could
also
be
used
for
a
big
event.
It
could
spill
over
into
the
community
Plaza,
so
those
final
decisions
will
be
made
in
the
design
development,
as
well
as
to
your
question
about
an
EV
charging
station.
C
The
current
traffic
studies
that
have
been
done
for
the
whole
area
have
heavily
influenced
the
decision
making
and
we
are
working
with
Howard
Stein
Hudson,
who
is
our
traffic
subconsultant
and
they're.
Looking
at
all
of
these
different
options,
and
so
they're
reviewing
this
sort
of
as
the
design
is
evolving,
so
I'd
say
there
isn't
a
large
traffic
study.
That's
just
devoted
right
now
to
this
phase
one,
but
there
certainly
are
many
traffic
studies
that
exist
around
the
traffic
circles
and
and
then
the
potential
future
improvements
that
have
been
vetted.
Yeah.
A
I
want
to
just
acknowledge
the
massdot
study
is
looking
at
Morrissey
Boulevard,
K
Circle
down
to
Preble
Circle.
It's
really
hard
to
do
a
traffic
study
just
on
the
park
itself,
when
there's
so
many
factors
coming
into
this
traffic
area,
and
so
many
new
projected
developments
happening.
So
the
state
is
looking
at
that
larger
study
and
that's
kicking
off.
I
think
this
fall
so
I'll
make
sure
to
send
out
a
link
to
the
to
our
email
list
group
so
that
you
guys
can
make
sure
you're
aware
of
those
meetings
that
are
happening.
C
Had
a
couple
folks
that
have
said
they'd
like
to
hear
from
the
Reps
on
Day,
Boulevard
I,
don't
know
if
anyone's
prepared
to
speak
on
it
now
or
we'll
just
take
it
back
to
the
representatives
and
then
potentially
hear
back
that
way,
but
a
good
suggestion.
A
good
comment
about
Babe
Ruth,
Park
Drive,
it's
a
four-lane
road
and
the
question
is
instead
of
having
dedicated
parking
asphalt
inside
the
park.
Could
a
section
of
Road
be
updated
to
support
parking
I?
Think
that's
a
it's
a
good
question.
C
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
makes
it
tricky
is
that
the
park
is
controlled
by
the
parks
department
and
then
outside
that
is
DCR
and
massdot
and
others,
that's
not
to
say
it
can't
happen,
but
certainly
providing
parking,
accessible
parking
close
to
all
these
amenities
and
being
able
to
access.
A
lot
of
these
improvements
is
an
important
consideration
for
a
multi-generational
offerings.
C
C
A
I
think
we
we
have.
The
parts
department
has
all
kinds
of
visions
of
what
should
happen,
especially
with
bike
lanes
and
everything.
Again,
it's
it's
state-owned,
as
Sherry
mentioned,
but
I
think
what
we're
waiting
for
is
that
the
massdot
study,
so
that
we
can
understand
if
there's
going
to
be
some
shifts
to
the
roadways
and
so
as
part
of
those
ships,
and
how
do
we
build
and
kind
of
either
thinking
that
they'll
be
looking
at?
Is
there
a
possibility
for
Road
diets?
Is
there
a
possibility
to
expand
all
these
things?
A
Is
there
a
possibility
to
add
a
more
Dynamic
Street
front,
that's
more
engaging
for
pedestrian
and
bicycle
users,
so
they'll
be
looking
at
a
lot
of
those
things
and
I
think
that
we're
really
looking
at
them
to
take
the
lead
on
that
and
then
once
that
study
comes
out
also
kind
of
looking
at
well.
How
do
we
start
to
think
about
you
know
is:
is
there
on
street
parking?
Is
that
the
option
as
well,
and
can
that
supplement
the
parking
I?
A
Think,
overall,
the
city
is
really
focused
on
not
expanding
parking
and
not
expanding
opportunities
for
people
to
drive
to
places,
especially
in
this
neighborhood,
but
really
just
trying
to
push
people
towards
public
transportation
and
biking
and
walking
and
making
sure
that
we're
not
increasing
traffic
volume
substantially.
Because
we
recognize
that
it's
important
for
for
sports
teams
to
be
able
to
drive
to
the
park
because
they're
carrying
so
much,
but
also
that
we
don't
want
to
put
an
undue
burden
on
the
neighborhood
and
with
all
the
city
goals
of
reducing
our
emissions.
D
D
Instead
of
a
dead
Flat
Park
that
you
have
now,
we
want
to
create
a
really
undulating
park
right.
That
does
have
views
from
various
points
in
the
park
even
closer
to
that
neighborhood
side.
So
there'll
be
moments
where
you
enter
the
park
from
Old
Colony
on
the
west
you'll
cross,
the
street
you
rise
in
elevation
you'll
be
able
to
see
across
Sports
Fields
you
get
glimpses
and
Views
out
to
the
water
from
there,
and
then
you
can
begin
to
move
around
I.
D
Think
one
of
the
highest
elevations
we're
proposing
is
down
at
the
stadium
between
the
stadium
and
Old
Colony
and
Mariela
McCormick
housing.
There.
We
want
to
actually
create
a
berm
in
back
of
the
existing
seating
to
increase
capacity,
but
also
to
to
allow
for
sunbathing
and
some
extraordinary
views
out
to
the
water.
So
there's
a
berm
there
just
to
the
south
of
the
label
just
to
the
bottom
of
the
label
called
Saunders
Arena.
C
C
Will
there
be
priority
parking
for
residents
again
great
question?
I
think
the
parking
will
be
prioritized
for
Park
users
and
then
I
think
that
they're
again
to
Allison's
point
about
parking.
It's
a
I.
Think
it's
a
larger
conversation
and
goal
within
the
city
is
the
baseball
field.
Gonna
have
a
perimeter
fence.
C
Yes,
there
will
be
a
perimeter
fence
and
an
outfield
fence,
but
there
will
be
access,
so
it
absolutely
will
have
lawn
areas
available
when
it
isn't
being
used.
But
yes,
having
lawn
areas
around
the
field,
more
casual
lawn
areas
around
the
field
will
also
be
important,
and
so
that's
something
we're
taking
into
consideration
in
those
areas.
D
You
also
see
on
the
master
plan
here.
There
are
a
couple
other
areas
that
will
also
have
Lawns
the
multi-use
fields
themselves.
The
soccer
and
multi-use
Fields
will
be
open
to
people,
but
there
are
areas
in
between
those
fields
that
have
lawn
near
Saunders
Arena,
there's
a
what
we're
calling
a
beachfront
Flex
field.
So
that's
a
bigger
open
lawn
that
will
not
be
permitted
for
sports
teams
at
all,
that'll
be
the
biggest
of
the
flexible
Fields
I
spoke
about
the
sloping
lawn
near
Saunders.
D
Arena
they'll
actually
be
one
on
either
side
of
it.
So
great
places
for
sunbathing
great
places
for
kids
to
play
very
casually
as
well.
So
really
a
number
of
places,
I
think
actually
near
the
community
center
at
the
North
entry
Plaza.
There
are
small
lawn
areas
integrated
there
as
well,
so
we're
trying
to
provide
these
in
various
places
around
the
park
for
just
that
kind
of
informal
play
that
that
you're
talking
about.
A
Dogs,
I
love.
This
question.
We
always
get
the
dog
question,
so
I
was
just
talking
about
this
today
and
not
specifically
from
Oakley
Park
but
in
general
I
think
again
we're
working
on
the
operations
model.
This
goes
hand
in
hand
with
permitting
and
thinking
kind
of
rethinking.
How
do
we
permit?
How
do
we
deal
with
off-leash
dogs?
A
It
will
continue
to
be
a
use,
so
maybe
we
provide
a
time
where
people
know
that
that's
going
to
happen,
and
you
know
I,
think
that
that
could
help
people
plan
where
they
are
in
the
park
or
what
times
they
come
to
it.
So
we'll
be
looking
at
that
and
we'll
be
working
with
the
community
actually
throughout
the
greater
greater
you
know,
City,
but
also
working
directly
with
South
Boston
residents
to
kind
of
understand
the
use.
C
And
the
last
question
in
the
chat
was
what
are
the
dimensions
of
the
lawn
areas
and
just
quickly?
This
is
about
a
hundred
feet
in
this
direction
and
probably
120
feet
this
way,
and
so
just
estimating
here
we
probably
have
150
feet
Maybe
by
80
feet.
So
you
know
they're
they're,
generally
significant.
You
know
spaces
with
enough
area
and
then
to
Chris's
point
about
the
these
larger
spaces.
You
know
this
is
this:
this
is
the
size
of
like
a
U10
field.
C
You
can
see
it
in
relation
to
this
full
field
at
the
stadium,
so
this
is
a
much
larger
space
and
then,
as
the
next
phases
are
built
out,
you
see
that
you
know
you're
getting
larger
rectangular
fields
and
outfields
and
also
keep
in
mind
when
phase
one
is
built.
The
park
itself
will
remain.
The
rest
of
the
park
is
huge,
wide
open,
swaths
of
lawn
right
now,
and
so
there
will
be
a
lot
of
flexible
lawn
space
in
the
in
the
short
term
as
the
park
evolves
and
I.
A
Yep
great
I
do
want,
to
you,
know,
speak
to
Mary's
question
in
terms
of
lawn
areas,
I
I,
sure
I.
Think
you're
right
is.
You
know,
understanding
that
the
scale
of
this
is
really
hard
to
understand
when
you're,
not
in
the
space,
it's
hard
to
understand
on
a
planned
View,
and
so
we
are
thinking
about
you-
know
those
lawn
sizes
and
giving
different
scales
to
those
Lawns.
Because,
honestly,
when
I
think
about
my
kids,
who
are
five
and
ten,
you
know
a
really
big
field
sometimes
feels
weird
to
them.
A
I
don't
want
to
run
around
a
really
big
field.
They
want
to
run
around
a
smaller
lawn
and
I
want
to
have
a
bench
nearby
where
I
can
watch
them
and
people
watch
and
so
we're
thinking
about
all
those
different
scales
so
that
it's
not
just
that.
You
know
the
the
people
that
use
the
bigger
spaces
are
the
sports
people
and
then
nothing
else
is
happening
in
the
park.
A
We
want
to
make
sure
that
when
those
bigger
Lawns
or
the
bigger
fields
are
permitted
that
there's
other
spaces
for
people
to
gather,
because
we
want
a
diversity
of
people
to
be
gathered
in
the
park.
We
want
every
corner
of
this
park
to
be
activated
and
and
not
everyone's
going
to
be
playing
sports.
So
there's
places
for
other
people
to
go
where
you
know,
there's
not
permitted
permittees.
A
C
A
Hi
Anna,
thanks
for
joining
us
I
forgot
to
recognize
you.
Anna
white
is
here
from
the
mayor's
office
and
Neighborhood
Services
and
she's
a
South
Boston
resident
long-term
South
Boston
resident.
So
thanks
for
joining
us
tonight
is
the
park
open,
24,
7.
I'm,
not
sure
if
we
have
any
parks
that
are
open,
24
7,
maybe
the
common.
A
Typically
it's
from
Dawn
till
Dusk
and
I
think
that
that
would
generally
go
for
this
park
as
well,
but
I
think
obviously
we're
going
to
have
it
open
later
for
some
types
of
sporting
events
that
happen
later,
with
the
lights
on
so
we'll
kind
of
have
to
think
about
I.
Think
in
those
Parks
those
larger
parks
that
we
have
the
lighting,
we
have
them
open
until
11
pm,
so
that'll
likely
kind
of
fit.
A
C
A
I
think
I
think
that's
correct
is
that
it's
staff,
members
and
I
really
don't
want
to
put
them
on
the
spot
if
they
haven't
had
a
chance
to
to
think
about,
I
mean
obviously
they
think
about
it.
But
I
don't
know
if
they've
had
a
chance
to
talk
with
the
counselors
directly
about
it.
So
you
know
I
am
happy
to
bring
this
back
to
the
counselors
and
and
try
to
who's.
I.
Think
that
if
you
sign
in
tonight
we
have
your
email
number.
C
C
These
soccer
fields,
in
particular,
will
absolutely
feel
like
places.
People
can
hang
out
in.
There
will
be
large
Open
Fields
when
they're
not
in
use,
and
there
will
be
a
fence
around
the
ball
field.
But
again
this
this
will
be
usable
informally
when
not
in
use
and
I
I
understand
what
you're
saying
the
ball
fields
that
mostly
feel
very
much
like
ball
fields
and
nothing
else,
and
some
of
that
is
I.
C
D
Just
just
add
to
that
a
little
bit
on
the
fields
that
are
fenced,
we
can
really
think
about
where
Gates
happen
and
how
many
gates
there
are
so
that,
when
it's
not
in
use,
the
people
can
have
direct
access,
but
we've
spent
a
lot
of
time
trying
to
figure
out.
How
do
we
design
these?
So
they
feel
like
it
happens,
to
be
a
field
in
a
park.
It's
not
a
Park
full
of
ball
fields.
D
So
the
fact
that
we've
got
all
these
other
elements
immediately
adjacent
to
it.
The
soccer
fields
are
a
great
example
with
the
adventure
play
immediately
adjacent
to
it
right
we're
trying
to
create
really
nice
relationships
between
one
program
element,
one
space
and
another
to
allow
for
that
feel
that
people
can
spill
out
onto
the
fields
when
a
game
is
not
going
off.
C
A
Yeah,
this
is
always
a
tricky
question.
You
know
I
think
primarily
it's
going
to
be
pedestrian
in
the
end
here
and
then
there's
going
to
be.
You
know
the
the
bike
Lanes
on
the
exterior
of
the
park
and
that's
mostly
just
to
make
sure
that
there's
not
conflicts
with
pedestrians.
I.
Imagine
that
if
this
you
know
becomes
what
we
all
have
hoped
it
will
become
it'll,
be
pretty
busy
and
so
making
sure
that
we're
keeping
that
separation
will
be
important.
A
But,
like
I
see
you
know,
there's
there's
no
biking
at
Millennium
Park
and
that's
where
you
know
people
teach
their
young
kids.
How
to
bike.
So
I
think
that
there's
a
level
of
allowance
in
terms
of
if
it's
a
young
child
learning
how
to
bike,
then
we
generally
allow
that
use.
But
we
don't
really
want
cyclists
cruising
through
the
middle
of
the
park
at
high
speeds.
So
we
we
generally
do
not
allow
that.
C
A
A
very
specific
date,
so
I
I,
keep
on
saying
10
to
15
years,
but
years
continue
on
so
I
think
that
you
know
our
goal
is:
is
that
we
were
trying
to
get
this
complete.
You
know
I,
guess
that
was
20
30
20
35
somewhere
in
there.
So
will
we
yeah?
Hopefully
we
will
make
that
timeline.
I
think.
Most
importantly,
we
recognize
where
the
potential
flooding
is
going
to
happen,
and
so
we
will
make
sure
that
those
areas
will
be
constructed
prior
to
that
2030.
A
and
that's
so
that's
the
next
big
kind
of
push
is
making
sure
that
that
flood
management
barrier
goes
into
place
both
within
the
park
and
then,
as
it
extends
off-site.
There's
a
couple
connection
points.
We
need
to
close
that
off
completely,
so
those
are
kind
of
priority
areas
that
we're
moving
forward
simultaneously
with
phase
one.
So
we're
hoping
that
and
that's
actually
one
of
the
big
kind
of
Grant
pieces
that
we
are
seeking
is
it's.
C
And
the
last
question
I
have
up
right
now
is:
will
this
be
a
smoke
Creek,
Park
and
I?
Believe
all
city
of
Boston
parks
are
smoke
free,
that's
correct,
I'd,
like
some
extended
info
about
safety
plans,
and
especially
in
light
of
recent
police
activity
and
large
crowds
across
the
street
at
Carson
Beach.
A
So
I
think
in
terms
of
safety
plans,
you
know
part
yes,
I
I
recognize
that
there's
been
some
challenges
over
at
Carson.
Beach
I
also
want
to
recognize
that
you
know.
Part
of
the
idea
is
building
a
base
out
here
where
there's
the
park
is
really
activated
at
night
and
there's
lighting,
and
so
it
it
is
the
safer
environment
there's
people
around
and
it
doesn't
feel
like
it's
unsafe.
A
A
We
have
a
access
roadway
through
the
park
that
the
police
can
drive
on
if
they
need
to
to
kind
of
they
do
it
already,
but
right
now
they
just
drive
through
the
park
across
the
grass,
so
we've
provided
a
kind
of
emergency
access,
driving
pathway
that
allows
for
fire
access
and
police.
In
addition,
we've
added
well,
we
will
be
adding
substantial
Lighting
on
multiple
levels,
and
so
that's
both
pedestrian
and
sports
lighting.
A
The
idea
is
is
that
we
want
to
make
sure
to
balance
the
light
so
that
it
feels
safe,
but
it's
not
overly
lit,
because
sometimes
the
overly
lit
Parks
make
other
spaces
seem
or
appear
much
darker
and
so
making
sure
that
we're
balancing
that
light
out
and
not
also
adding
to
like
pollution
in
the
neighborhood
and
then
you,
you
know
as
we
develop
these
plans,
we're
also
working
with
Boston,
PD
and
understanding.
Are
there
things
that
you
know?
A
C
Mary
asks:
is
it
possible
to
eliminate
one
of
the
soccer
fields
and
permit
soccer
on
the
premier
field
that
would
open
up
space
for
non-sports
teams
and
right
now
it
feels
like
other
uses
are
squeezed
in
around
the
playing
fields
and
there's
a
fear
that
multi
mokley
will
be
over
programmed
and
I
guess
what
I'd
offer
is
I.
Think
absolutely
there's
going
to
be.
You
know
per
this
plan
three
rectangular
Fields.
C
They
accommodate
a
lot
of
different
uses
and
can
absolutely
be
used
when
not
permitted
I
hear
what
you're
saying
about
making
sure
that
there's
enough
flexible,
other
flexible
space
and
I
think
that
as
we
continue
to
push
the
design
forward,
we'll
keep
that
in
mind.
But
I
do
think
that
there
are
a
lot
of
spaces
around
here
that
maybe
the
trees
are
making
look
dense.
But
there
will
be
you
know,
spaces
around
these
fields.
That
I
think
will
be
occupyable
and
I.
C
A
Right
and
I
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
that
you
know:
we've
worked
really
hard
over
a
lot
of
years,
listening
to
a
lot
of
different
users
of
the
park,
and
you
know
we're
just
trying
to
balance
out
the
needs.
I
mean
we
hear
from
the
multi-use
players
that
there's
not
enough
multi-use
fields,
and
then
you
hear
from
baseball
Community
there's
not
enough
for
those,
and
then
you
know
the
rest
of
commuters,
Aren't,
Enough,
X,
Y
and
Z,
and
so
we're
trying
to
balance
all
of
that
and
we
recognize
that
right
now.
A
You
know
this
mokley
park
is
a
significant
Regional
Athletic
Facility,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
it
continues
to
do
that.
We
don't
have
a
lot
of
Sparks
of
size
that
can
accommodate
Recreation
active
Recreation,
so
we
want
to
make
sure
we're
still
providing
that,
but
I
agree
Sheriff.
What
you're
saying
is
that
there's
there
is
quite
a
bit
of
open
space
on
programmed
Lawns
and
I.
Think
as
we
you
know
dive
into
the
other
areas.
A
We
can
start
to
look
at
those
dimensions
a
little
bit
more
and
make
sure
that
we
have
the
right
fit,
especially
as
we
move
around
to
like
Preble,
Plaza
and
understanding
is
the
plaza
space
scaled
right
is.
Is
there
too
much
elevation?
That's
maybe
less
fusible
for
folks,
and
maybe
we
can
think
about
changing
those
elevations.
A
So
there's
a
lot
of
flexibility
in
this
program.
There's
there's
not
a
lot
of
flexibility
in
terms
of
thinking
about
taking
removing
some
of
the
big
fields,
but
there
is
flexibility
in
all
these
other
spaces
and
I.
Think
in
the
end,
you'll
be
surprised
at
how
much
unprogrammed
open
space
lawn
there
is
for
these
kind
of
just
like
pop-up
informal
uses.
A
C
A
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
so
much
to
our
team
for
pulling
the
presentation
together
and
to
our
partners
Boston
Harbor.
Now
and
then
you
know
the
the
elected
officials
who
join
us
tonight
and
then,
most
importantly,
the
community
again
this
plan
we've
been
working
on
this
for
so
long
and
I.
Just
really
appreciate
you
showing
up
and
making
your
voices
heard
and
making
sure
that
we're
thinking
about
all
the
things
that
are
important
to
you,
so
I
appreciate
it
and
you
know
I.
A
It
has
been
a
long
process,
but
it's
important
to
get
it
right
and
there's
so
many
things
that
we're
working
on
that.
We
really
takes
time
to
figure
out
and
make
sure
it's
right.
So
it's
built
and
it
lasts
a
long
time
and
that
we
get
the
maintenance
right
and
that
we
get
the
programming
right
all
of
those
things
kind
of
piece
together
and
it
takes
time.
So
thank
you
for
your
patience.
A
Thank
you
for
your
participation
and
your
support
and
again
we'll
be
back
to
the
community,
either
through
programming
at
the
park
itself,
and
also
just
coming
back
when
the
construction
documents
are
complete
to
share
out
with
everybody.
And
then
you
know
starting
phase
two.
So
we
look
forward
to
seeing
you
and
working
with
you
and
have
a
great
night
and
stay
cool.
