Description
Sullivan Square Open Space Meeting - October 12, 2021
A
My
name
is,
b
chatfield
and
just
as
you
may
have
just
noted,
this
meeting
is
being
recorded
so
that
we
can
post
it
on
the
parks
department
website
to
share
it
with
those
people
who
are
unable
to
attend
the
meeting
tonight.
I
hope
you
are
comfortable
with
that.
If
not,
you
can
leave
your
camera
off.
I
am
a
project
manager
from
boston
parks
and
recreation,
and
I
want
to
welcome
you
tonight
on
behalf
of
parks
and
dpda.
A
Awesome,
thank
you
so
here
we
are
welcoming
everybody
and
then,
if
we
could
flick
to
the
next
slide
most
of
you
at
this
point,
many
of
you
have
attended
zoom
meetings,
but
there
may
be
some
of
you
who
are
not
familiar
with
the
processes,
and
so
we
have
included
a
slide.
That
includes
a
few
basic
functions.
A
If
we
can
flick
to
the
agenda
on
the
next
page,
I'm
just
giving
you
a
heads
up.
We
will
share
our
presentation
during
the
first
half
of
tonight's
meeting
and
then
the
second
half
is
really
dedicated
to
a
live
discussion.
Where
we'd
like
to
hear
your
thoughts
on
what
programs
should
happen
at
these
three
sites.
A
During
our
presentation,
please
either
hold
your
questions
and
then
share
them
during
the
discussion
or
post
them
in
the
chat
so
that
we
can
address
them
afterwards
and
during
the
end
of
our
presentation,
we're
going
to
have
a
short
live
polling
session.
Also,
that's
item
number
two
presentation
and
live
polling
to
spark
some
ideas
for
our
discussion.
A
A
So,
instead
of
doing
a
lengthy
introduction
now,
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
all
of
the
design
teams
and
agencies
that
work
together
tonight
put
a
lot
of
effort
into
tonight's
meeting
to
try
and
communicate
as
best
as
possible
with
you,
the
community
of
charlestown.
So
whoever
is
doing
their
presentation
portion
please
introduce
yourselves.
I'm
not
gonna.
Do
a
lengthy
intro
right
now
and
right
now
I
am
going
to
hand
it
off
to
jay
rogero
of
the
bpda.
B
Thank
you
so
much
b,
next
slide,
please
so
good
evening.
For
those
who
don't
know
me,
my
name
is
jay
ruggiero,
I'm
a
community
engagement
manager
at
the
bpda,
the
boston
planning
and
development
agency,
and,
as
we
alluded
to
so
we
have
a
a
packed
house
right,
a
team
with
you
this
evening
from
the
city.
So
we
are
really
excited
to
be
with
you.
All
tonight
is
a
deliberate
and
intentional
step
to
bring
a
lot
of
people
from
the
city
together
to
talk
to
you
so
tonight's.
B
You
know
we
heard
loud
and
clear,
as
we
launched
playing
charlestown,
maybe
a
little
over
a
year
ago,
that
the
community
really
wanted
to
see
collaborative
and
holistic
and
and
really
kind
of
a
real
kind
of
collaborative
planning
process
when
we
think
about
things
like
open
space
and
transportation
and
housing,
and
things
like
that,
so
that
is
kind
of
what
we're
doing
here
tonight.
So
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
open
space
and
you
the
community,
are
going
to
be
the
ones
using
that
open
space.
B
So
we
want
to
know
how
you
would
be
activating
or
using
that
space.
So
when
we
talk
about
ryan
playground
or
sullivan
square
or
hood
green,
we
want
to
be
thinking
of
this
collaboratively
holistically,
so
we're
activating
programming
our
open
space
to
be
what
the
community
wants
it
to
be
so
b
is
here
representing
the
parks
department,
bill
conrad
is
here
representing
the
transportation
department.
B
Mark
rosenstein
is
here
representing
hood
park,
and
I
just
want
to
also
acknowledge
our
friends
in
the
environment
department.
So
climate
ready,
boston
is
also
ongoing
and
the
environment
department
is
with
us
also
here
tonight.
So
again,
you're
gonna
hear
from
a
lot
of
people
tonight.
I'm
gonna
pass
it
to
my
colleague
kelly
sherman
of
the
dpda,
but
we
just
want
to
thank
all
of
you
for
being
a
part
of
this
process
and
being
with
us
this
evening.
B
So
one
more
thing
before
I
kick
it
to
kelly,
so
we
introduced
some
of
us,
but
we
want
to
know
who's
with
us
a
little
bit
tonight
too.
So
we're
just
gonna
have
a
kind
of
an
introduction
poll.
So
we
can
launch
that
poll
real
quick.
If
everyone
just
wants
to
answer
three
quick
questions,
that'd
be
really
helpful.
B
A
lot
of
people
saying
no.
This
is
my
first
meeting
on
open
space
that
that's
that's
a
good
thing.
We're
happy
you're
with
us
tonight.
We
hope
you
continue
to
be
a
part
of
this.
This
process,
there's
a
lot
of
things
happening
in
charleston,
as
I,
as
I
mentioned,
there's
this
process
on
open
space,
there's
the
climate,
ready,
boston
process
that
focuses
on
climate
resilience,
work
and
there's
also
plant
allison,
which
is
the
neighborhood-wide
comprehensive
planning
initiative
underway.
So
if
this
is,
your
first
meeting
looks
like
43
of
the
people
here
tonight.
B
B
B
B
B
B
C
C
C
We'll
be
talking
about
specifically
this
area
tonight
and
you
can
see
what
green
space
currently
exists
within
the
sullivan
square
area,
and
you
can
see
that
we
certainly
could
use
some
more
so
tonight,
we'll
be
talking
about
a
few
projects.
Next
slide
that'll
be
adding
green
space
into
the
area.
We
have
a
line
playground
which
already
exists:
a
new
parcel
created
by
the
realignment
of
riverford,
ave
and
sullivan
square,
and
also
hood
green,
which
is
coming
online
thanks
to
mark
rosenstein
and
the
hood
project
as
well.
C
Sullivan
square
is
going
to
be
really
similar
in
size
to
menino
park
and
also
the
edwards
playground,
which
you
can
see
here
and
here's
how
these
things
compare
to
doherty
playground
next
slide
and,
finally,
here's
what
ryan
playground
size
wise
compares
to
since
ryan
playground
already
exists.
You
guys
probably
have
a
rough
sense
of
how
large
that
is,
but
it's
similar
in
size
of
charlestown,
community
center,
high
school
and
charlestown
bunker
hill,
community
college
next
slide,
and
so
for
reference.
C
You
have
an
understanding
of
roughly
the
sizes
of
both
parks,
but
what
actually
fits
inside
of
it.
You
can
see
in
this
kind
of
nifty
table
here.
This
table
explains
and
is
not
limited
to
these
uses,
but
some
of
the
uses
that
we
thought
we'd
heard
in
the
past
that
you
guys
might
want
to
understand
about
the
sizes
of
different
fields
and
uses
and
amenity
spaces
that
might
be
of
interest
to
you.
C
So
you
guys
can
understand
how
much
one
site
can
accommodate
and
what
could
kind
of
puzzle
piece
fit
in
this
chart
goes
from
large
to
small,
with
the
left
being
on
the
larger
sizes
that
aren't
quite
flexible
and
on
the
right.
They
get
smaller
or
completely
flexible,
and
you
can
determine
how
large
you
want
them
to
be
next
slide.
C
So
I
would
be
remiss
to
say
that,
while
those
uses
are
helpful,
there
are
climate
effects
going
on
right
now,
specifically,
flooding
that'll
affect
all
of
these
sites.
So
not
only
do
we
want
these
sites
to
be
acting
as
a
benefit
to
the
public
and
a
community
use
that
you
can
have.
We
also
want
these
sites
to
serve
for
climate
resilience
purposes.
Specifically,
ryan
playground
is
getting
a
update
because
we
want
to
make
this
area
more
resilient
here.
C
You
can
see
some
of
the
flood
patterns
and
pathways
that
are
coming
down
charlestown
in
the
future,
and
so
just
keep
in
mind
that
these
parks
are
going
to
serve
dual
purposes
next
slide.
Please,
so
you
don't
have
to
think
about
these
things
by
yourself.
We
have
other
members
of
the
city
here.
Also
thinking
about
this,
all
the
time
you
have
my
team
planned
charlestown
in
the
boston
planning
development
agency.
C
Climate
ready
boston
is
looking
at
the
climate
change
impacts
that
are
going
to
happen
in
charlestown.
They
think
about
flood
resiliency,
but
also
heat
resiliency
as
well
and
ryan
playground
is
helping
implement
some
of
these
goals
and
ideas
that
you
wanted
to
see,
and
also
addressing
some
of
these
climate
change
effects,
and
so
we
have
parks
here
as
well
and
of
course,
as
jay
mentioned,
we
do
have
climate
ready,
boston
here,
and
we
also
have
btd
here,
and
we
also
have
hood
green
here,
and
we
have
everyone
here.
Next
slide.
C
We
heard
from
you
from
some
of
our
past
meetings
and
we
specifically
discussed
open
space
in
our
clan
ready
plan,
charlestown,
sorry
meetings.
We
specifically
talked
about
open
space
in
a
workshop
dedicated
to
it
as
well
as
climate
resilience.
We
heard
other
people
talk
about
it
in
land
use
through
time,
part
two
and
we
had
a
mini
breakout
room
during
the
planning
places,
rutherford
aven
sullivan
square
meeting,
to
discuss
what
people
wanted
to
see
in
this
area.
Next
slide:
oh!
Wait
before
we
switch
over
sorry.
Can
you
go
back
one?
C
Thank
you.
We
still
want
to
hear
your
opinions
on
all
these
things,
so,
if
you
can,
and
if
you're
interested
in
seeing
what
your
community
member
said,
please
visit
bitly
at
map
charlestown,
it's
the
bottom
link
here
and
you
can
still
give
us
feedback,
because
we
still
want
to
hear
what
you
want
in
this
area,
not
just
about
green
space.
You
can
tell
us
about
green
space
and
we'd
love
to
hear
it,
but
also
other
things
as
well.
C
All
right
next
live
thank
you,
and
so
during
those
meetings
that
we
held
with
the
community
during
the
plan
charlestown
meetings,
we
heard
all
of
the
things
we
heard
that
you
wanted
more
trees,
open
space,
etc.
You
wanted
these
open
spaces
to
be
safe
and
accessible
and
bring
you
closer
towards
the
water,
which
is
one
of
the
brilliant
assets
of
charlestown.
C
We
also
heard
from
you
that
you
wanted
this
to
be
a
holistic
process
that,
when
we're
visioning
charlestown,
you
want
interdepartmental
communications,
which
is
why
we're
all
here
tonight
and
you
specifically
wanted
to
see
that
this
was
a
holistic
process
that
we
weren't
divided
and
that
you
weren't
just
having
meetings
where
we
weren't
conversing
with
each
other.
So
we're
here
tonight
to
all
kind
of
be
on
the
same
page
and
have
an
understanding
of
what
you
want.
C
We're
going
to
hear
from
brown,
richardson
and
roe
who
are
going
to
be
discussing
the
sullivan
square
new
parcel
and
we're
also
going
to
be
hearing
from
mark
rosenstein
about
hood
green.
Specifically
when
we're
thinking
about
these
sites.
They're
going
to
tell
you
information
about
it.
But
we
want
to
hear
back
from
you
what
you
want
to
use
each
site
for,
and
we
want
you
to
understand
and
kind
of
think
about
these
spaces
in
terms
of
the
opportunities
and
challenges
associated
with
each
individual
site.
C
How
those
sites
relate
to
each
other
in
this
green
corridor
that
we
are
now
creating
and
also
how
it
fits
the
needs
of
charlestown
park
space
as
a
whole,
and
so
I'm
going
to
kick
it
off.
First
to
branding
punkel
from
westin
sampson
to
talk
about
the
uses,
potentially
on
ryan
playground
and
some
of
the
site
considerations.
D
All
right,
thank
you
so
much
kelly
and
everyone
else
on
this
meeting.
It's
great
to
be
here
tonight
and
thank
you
for
taking
time
out
of
your
busy
lives
and
evening
to
join
us.
As
other
folks
have
already
mentioned.
This
is
very
important
to
us
and
not
just
from
our
side
of
the
equation,
but
from
all
the
other
designers.
On
this
call,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
providing
charlestown
with
the
most
effective
and
most
efficient
open
spaces
that
would
be
heavily
used
and
endorsed
and
loved
going
into
the
future.
D
So
ryan
playground
specifically,
is
probably
one
of
the
larger
open
spaces,
if
not
the
largest,
open
space
beyond
bunker
hill
community
college
within
charlestown,
it's
about
8.75
acres
and
just
to
back
up
a
little
bit
here.
Looking
at
the
schedule,
so
we
met
with
you
folks
last
month,
specifically
for
ryan,
we
had
our
first
kickoff
meeting
with
the
community,
and
that
was
great
thank
you
for
those
who
were
able
to
attend
and
if
we
have
some
repeat
attendees
tonight,
that's
even
better!
D
So
here
we
are
tonight
with
the
larger
group
and
the
the
three
projects
that
we're
speaking
of
and
then
we'll
be
back
in
front
of
the
community
again
in
december
for
our
second
community
meeting,
where
we'll
be
presenting
concepts
for
ryan
playground
and
getting
feedback
on
that.
So
we're
hoping
that
between
the
september
meeting
and
tonight's
meeting
we
get
some
really
great
feedback
and
direction
for
ryan
playground
specifically
and
then
we'll
be
presenting.
D
Finally,
in
january,
would
be
considered
the
preferred
schematic
design
for
ryan
playground
and
then
we'll
immediately
push
forward
with
documentation
and
getting
up
to
a
permitting
level
documents
for
for
spring
2022
and
then,
as
we
work
through
all
the
permitting
and
then
ultimately,
we
we
hope
to
begin
construction
somewhere
in
fall.
2022
next
slide
please.
D
We've
evaluated
it
from
an
environmental
standpoint
from
a
resiliency
standpoint
from
the
vulnerability
perspective,
shade
perspective,
the
health
of
the
trees,
the
relationship
to
alfred
street
and
the
shraps
city
center,
the
relationship
to
the
water
and
you
know,
circulation
in
the
park
in
and
out
of
the
park.
So
all
these
assessments
are
going
on
they're,
always
ongoing
until
we
get
to
a
final
design
but
they're
all
very
important
and
we'll
be
looking
also
at
the
the
shade
and
resilience
of
urban
heat
island
as
we
move
through
the
design
process
as
well.
D
D
D
D
For
ryan
will
be,
we've
already
started,
looking
at
the
key
elements
and
you
have
a
playground,
there's
a
support,
building
concessions,
building,
there's
edges
along
alfred
street,
there's
shade
structures
and
walkways
within
the
park
itself.
There's
athletic
fields,
there's
a
skating
rink
and
then
there's
the
boardwalk
and
the
waters
edge
along
the
mystic
river.
Next
slide.
Please
and
I
will
hand
it
over
to
the
folks
from
brown
richards
in
a
row.
F
Thank
you
very
much.
This
is
allison
richardson
landscape,
architect,
with
brown
richardson
in
row,
we're
working
with
tetra
tech
on
the
rutherford
avenue
reconstruction
and
the
new
open
space.
The
sullivan
square
is
at
the
center
of
centerpiece
of
the
open
space
that
are
will
be
created
by
this
project
and
next
slide.
F
This
is
the
shows,
the
extent
of
the
rutherford
avenue
and
sullivan
square
project,
which
is
really
a
large
project.
Some
of
you
may
have
been
to
earlier
meetings.
It
goes
all
the
way
from
city
square
park
to
the
water
to
the
bridge
and
you
can
see
toward
the
right
there's
the
new
sullivan
square.
Is
this
dashed
and
white
is
the
part
of
the
project
that
we
will
be
talking
about
tonight?
F
F
So
this
is
a
slide
that
shows
some
historic
photographs
of
what
this
area
looked
like
at
the
turn
of
the
century
and
to
about
1950s
60s.
There
was
the
sullivan
square
train
station.
There
was
that
was
the
terminus
of
the
l
from
the
city
and
next
to
the
train
station.
There
was
a
really
quite
lovely
you
can
see.
The
bottom
left
photo
a
lovely,
his
traditional
park
of
trees
and
lawn,
and
it
was
found
in
the
middle
of
a
circular
pathways
and
it
was
really
quite
lovely
and
was
lost.
F
F
Another
thing
I
want
to
say
that
you
can
see
that
the
new
sullivan
square
park
is
right
in
the
middle
between
wood,
green
and
rutherford
avenue,
which
will
have
other
open
spaces
to
the
left,
to
boston
area
and
ryan,
so
circulation
of
pedestrians
and
bicycles.
And
of
course,
the
cars
on
the
outside
is
really
critical.
F
The
next
slide
shows
an
animation
of
the
circulation
and
the
beginning
actually
moves
the
beginning
is
the
pedestrian
connections
between
the
three
open
spaces
and
then
the
bike
trail
connections
in
sort
of
a
blue,
green
and
then
the
last
is
sort
of
a
more
finely
detailed,
just
purely
pedestrian
connections
within
the
parks
and
cells.
Okay,
okay,
next.
F
So
the
challenges
and
opportunities
of
this
of
this
park,
this
new
park
is
to
be
safe,
to
have
clear
circulation
to
allow
for
all
kinds
of
uses.
Passive
inactive
incorporate
climate
resilient
desires.
What
does
that
mean?
That
means
lost
trees
and
grass
and
permeable,
paving
considerations
of
drainage,
et
cetera
and
then
also
the
potential
in
this
park?
F
I
think
for
possibly
some
food
and
entertainment,
because
it
is
right
in
the
middle
of
the
hublot
of
activity
and
the
potential
for
some
very
special
garden
elements.
They
could
distinguish
it
from
wood,
green
and
from
ryan.
It's
not
very
large,
it's
sort
of
almost
one
of
the
third
acres,
but
it
is
large
enough
to
really
be
a
real
place
and
and
that's
what
we're
going
to
try
to
make
a
really
very
special
new
park.
Next.
G
F
How
close
it
is
to
ryan
is
really
just
across
the
street
of
the
the
new
extension
of
the
playground
and
the
way
to
get
to
ho
green.
Is
you
just
would
go
down
a
rutherford
and
then
cross
the
street,
but
the
rutherford
avenue
over
there
over
the
overpass
there,
and
so
it's
very
everything's,
very
close,
very,
very
close.
A
minute.
B
H
F
C
H
F
And
lots
of
trees
and
and
flowers
and
and
it
could
have
food
trucks,
you
could
have
a
concession
stand.
There's
lots
of
lots
of
ideas
that
could
happen
here
and
I
always
sort
of
think
a
little
bit
that
it's
a
little
bit
like
post
office
square,
because
the
development
parcel
which
is
up
to
the
upper
right
looks
right
down
on
this
very
similar
to
the
telephone
building
that
that
looks
down
onto
pio
square.
And
there
is
a
street
in
between
that.
F
J
Good
evening
my
name
is
mark
rosenschein,
I'm
an
owner's
project
manager
for
trademark
partners
and
I'll
start
by
apologizing
for
any
background
noise.
I'm
doing
this
presentation
from
the
airport
I'm
joined
by
kate
keenan
with
offshoots
and
james
rowe
from
copley
wolf,
our
team
of
landscape,
architects
and
designers
next
slide.
J
Please,
and
for
those
of
you
that
are
not
familiar
hood
green,
which
is
the
area
highlighted
here,
is
a
little
over
an
acre
area
committed
to
public
open
space
as
part
of
the
hood
park
master
plan,
which
incorporates
approximately
20
acres,
which
you
see
here
in
on
the
screen.
Now
this
isn't
the
only
open
space
we
have.
We've
actually
finished
a
new
spray
ground
and
six
stack
street,
which
you
see
in
the
upper
left
hand
corner,
which
is
a
new
open
space
and
phyto
remediation.
K
I
think
that
I
will
put
that
I
will
pull
into
mark's
spot
here
since
mark
is
at
the
airport
I'm
going
to
try
to
help.
So,
as
mark
mentioned,
I'm
kate
cannon
from
offshoots,
we
have
a
landscape
architect,
working
with
copley,
wolf
design
group
as
well
on
the
hood
green
project,
so
I'll
I'll
kind
of
fill
in
here
for
mark.
K
So
as
mark
was
mentioned
mentioning,
he
was
talking
about
the
six
stack
project
and
the
other
open
space
projects
that
have
happened
over
in
the
hood
park
development
and
now
we're
really
excited
about
the
food
green
project,
which
is
about
a
one
acre,
open
space.
That
will
come
online
about
the
same
time
that
the
rutherford
ave
project.
K
K
A
K
Gonna
try
this
I'm
gonna,
take
off
my
headphones
how's
that
better,
okay,
sorry
guys
we're
having
all
kinds
of
technical
difficulties
tonight.
It's
just
our
jam
today.
So
it's
all
good
here
is
a
view
of
the
hood
green
project
of
what
was
done
in
the
early
master
planning
process
when
the
hood
park
was
brought
to
look
at
in
the
background
here,
you
see
the
potential
new
hotel
that
would
be
going
in
behind
the
green
and
on
the
front
side.
This
is
viewing
from
rutherford
ave
at
a
new
retail
space.
K
K
Here's
a
view
from
on
top
of
that
one-story
retail
space.
The
idea
here
is
that
it
would
be
an
occupiable
green
roof
that
one
could
sit
on
and
you
could
actually
overlook
that.
One
acre
green
space
and,
of
course
this
is
showing
it
as
a
flat
non-program
space.
But
that's
what
we're
here
to
talk
to
the
community
about
about
what
you
would
envision
as
program
there
next
slide.
K
What
we
love
about
the
opportunity
here
with
utilizing
the
green
roof
on
top
of
the
retail
is
that
we
could
have
events
or
music
or
even
a
sledding
hill
in
the
winter
picnicking,
all
sorts
of
things
to
take
advantage
of
that
westerly
view
occupying
the
top
of
that
space
on
the
next
slide.
Please,
and
so
when
we
start
to
think
about
this
from
a
site
analysis
point
of
view.
Hood
green
here
is
again
shown
in
yellow
one
thing:
that's
a
little
different
about
our
site
than
the
other
open
spaces.
K
Is
that
we're
we're
within
the
air
pollution
particulate
zone
again
from
93
in
the
highway?
So
we
know
we
have
to
be
careful
and
that
kind
of
air
pollution
the
zone
that
the
particulate,
both
fine
and
large
particles
would
travel
from
the
highway
touches
the
back
corner
of
our
site.
We
have
to
be
really
careful
and
think
about
that,
but
then
also
we
have
to
think
about
noise
pollution
that
comes
from
you
know
the
the
t
behind
and
the
highway
behind,
and
also
the
visual
pollution
as
well.
K
So
that's
something
we're
really
going
to
be
considering
and
then
the
last
slide
on
hood
green
and
then,
when
we
zoom
into
the
site.
This
is
a
site
analysis
of
of
the
project,
and
you
can
see
the
green
space
is
really
what
we're
talking
about
the
future
retail
space
on
the
front
side
is
not
really
in
the
actual
hood
green
portion
of
the
project,
but,
like
we
said,
the
open
space
would
ideally
flow
into
into
the
rest
of
the
green
space.
K
The
what's
shown
in
pink
here
are
the
desire
lines
for
both
bicycles
and
pedestrians.
We
very
much
envision
a
shared
used
path
that
would
be
on
the
north
side
or
d
street
side
of
the
site.
That
would
go
along
the
edge
of
d
street
to
connect
rutherford
ave
back
to
the
back
of
hood
park.
We
also
are
very
much
going
to
be
considering
climate
change
here
by
elevating
all
of
hood
park
so
far
has
is
actually
preparing
for
sea
level
rise
and
elevating
it
out
of
the
flood
plain.
K
So
we
would
be
doing
the
same
thing
with
this
particular
park
and
you
can
very
much
see
how
the
future
retail
fronts
rutherford
ave
and
the
future
hotel
is
on
the
left-hand
side.
So
we're
really
excited
this
has
great
solar
orientation
for
the
community.
We
think
it
is
an
incredible
resource
for
as
a
new
open
space
for
charlestown
residents,
so
we're
excited
to
hear
everyone's
ideas
today.
K
There
was
actually
a
quick
question
about
what
the
yellow
sun
line
was
too.
That
just
shows
the
the
basically
the
sun
orientation
that
would
start
on
the
right
hand,
side
on
the
east
and
come
over
to
the
west,
as
the
sun
sets
in
the
west.
What
we
really
love
here
is
this
opportunity
about
pretty
incredible
views
for,
for
those
of
you,
who've
been
out
in
this
area,
the
sunsets
and
the
views
to
the
west,
maybe
even
went
on
top
of
that
future
retail
space
could
be
very
nice
next
slide.
A
A
If
you
don't
have
any
initial
thoughts,
that's
totally
fine,
we're
just
trying
to
sort
of
like
loosen
up
and
come
up
with
some
ideas
here
so
that
when
we
get
to
the
portion
of
the
meeting
tonight,
where
we're
having
our
discussion
and
conversation,
these
are
some
topics
that
we
can
pick
up
on.
So
if
we
can
go
to
the
next
slide,
this
is
a
program
that
we're
using,
which
is
called
slido,
and
you
can
either
use
your
phone
or
open
up
a
page
in
the
web
browser,
and
there
is
a
code
here.
A
You
either
go
slido.com
forward,
slash
open
space
or
open
a
page
in
your
web
browser
on
your
computer
and
enter
the
code
open
space
and
go
to
the
next
slide.
Trying
to
give
everybody
a
chance
to
do
this
slowly
and
figure
it
out
as
you
go.
If
you
haven't
done
this
before
so,
you
can
also
scan
the
qr
code
in
the
upper
left
corner
of
the
screen.
A
Whoa
cool
we've
got
some
responses
and
we're
gonna
keep
this
up
for
a
little
while
because,
as
you
know,
like
the
first
person
who
responds
shows
up
as
like
100
of
the
respondees,
and
we
have
63
people
at
this
point
in
the
meeting,
so
people
love
events
and
performances
that
is
pretty
standard
throughout
our
park
system.
It's
like
that's
what
people
want
is
like
activation
of
public
spaces.
So
we
get
that
and
we
hear
that
so
walking
or
jogging.
That's
another
super
popular
use,
public
art,
picnicking.
A
You
know
food
related
things,
that's
definitely
something
that
people
enjoy
doing
in
our
public
spaces
and
we've
got
events
and
performances
still
in
first
place.
Here,
we've
got
some
stationary
fitness
such
as
like
yoga
classes,
or
something
where
you're
not
like.
Sprinting
all
over
the
place
or
playing
baseball,
you
know,
but
just
getting
in
shape
with
the
group,
farmers,
market
or
food
trucks.
A
Dog
walking
is
not
not
anything
yet,
but
picnicking
walking
and
jogging
okay.
So
we've
got
a
lot
of
support
for
events
and
public
spaces.
A
little
bit
of
street
hockey
splash
pad
water
play
yeah.
So
there's
there's
a
lot
of
responses
here,
and
this
is
fantastic
information
playing
at
the
playground,
some
basketball,
some
court
sports,
some
skateboarding,
all
right
and
let's
scroll
up
to
the
top,
so
that
we
can
see.
H
A
All
right
now
this
is
the
kind
of
thing
it's
kind
of
fun.
It's
called
a
word
cloud
and
basically
you
have
to
respond
in
one
word,
and
so,
if
you
have
multiple
words
that
formulate
your
thought
just
write
it
all
as
one
one
word
to
describe
what
activity
ryan
playground
is
uniquely
suited
for
or
it's
yes,
we
hear
that
loudly
water
access
kites.
Yes,
I
love
the
kites
idea,
we'll
make
sure
there's
no
exposed
power
lines
there
for
kites
water
access.
Floodproofing
totally
agree
with
the
floodproofing.
A
A
We've
definitely
heard
a
lot
as
well
about
the
playground
there,
the
kids
playground,
so
we're
certainly
going
to
be
providing
renovation
for
that
outdoor
recreation.
Absolutely,
this
is
a
great
site,
for
you
know
a
hiking
path.
We've
got
great
bird.
Viewing
we're
right
here
on
the
river
softball
kites
activity
views
all
right,
so
we've
got
some
fantastic
connection.
A
Maybe
that's
regional
connections
or
maybe
that's
connections
within
your
community.
You
know
both
of
them.
Both
of
them
are
true,
not
parking.
All
right.
I
like
the
use
of
that
one
word,
not
parking
so
that
made
it
in
trees
totally
doing
trees.
All
right.
Let's
move
on
to
the
next
site.
We've
got
one
word
to
describe
what
activity
sullivan
square
might
be
uniquely
suited
for.
So
let's
think
about
this
again
right,
it's
gonna
be
one
word
word
cloud,
and
this
is
going
to
be
our
site.
A
It's
a
little
bit
over
a
little
larger
than
an
acre.
It
was
1.25
acres
right
in
the
middle
of
these
two
other
open
spaces.
We've
got
bike
access,
that's
going
to
happen.
There
we've
got
cars
accessing
there,
and
so
what
do
you
think
that
would
be
good?
Would
it
serve
to
link
these
two
sites?
Transportation?
Yes,
we've
got
that
food
oasis,
green
right,
like
a
nice
break
from
driving
your
car,
you
look
over
you're
like
no.
A
I
wish
I
could
get
out
of
my
car
and
hang
out
in
this
park
green
space
traversing
right
so
you're
talking
about
connections
there,
oasis
and
transportation.
These
are
really
these.
I
like
those
two
concepts
together.
In
the
same
the
same
thing,
we've
got
pedestrian
safety,
beauty,
food
gateway
icon.
Yes,
I
like
this,
a
lunch
break
performance,
so
there's
there's
a
little
bit
of
like
entertainment
and
event
space
there
too.
Perhaps
climate
resilience
absolutely
check,
plus
meeting
friends,
green
space,
green
connections,
all
right,
so
we've
got
some
great
ideas
there.
A
So
how
about?
Let's
shift
over
next
next
slide?
We've
got
the
hood
green
one
word
to
describe
what
activity
hood
green
might
be
uniquely
suited
for.
So
let's,
let's
start
populating
this,
I'm
really
curious.
We've
got
this
very
fascinating
site
where
we've
got
like
retail
on
the
front
and
we've
got
a
large
building
at
the
back.
It's
right
near
the
road.
A
You
know
with
access
to
the
road,
but
it's
not
gonna
have
a
view
of
the
road
because
you're
gonna,
be
you
know
having
this
retail
situation
below
you
and
right
now,
we've
got
gathering
and
community.
Those
are
the
largest
groups
of
respondents.
We've
got
movies,
oh
an
outdoor
movie
night.
There
would
be
pretty
cool
performance
people
watching
absolutely
road
buffer
climate
resilience,
green
space,
quiet
space.
I
like
that
idea,
so
we've
got
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
people
responding
gathering
and
community.
So
that's
great!
A
A
You
know
maybe
there's
maybe
there's
room
for
smaller
scale.
Active
wreck-
I
don't
know-
maybe
there's
like
table
tennis
or
something
like
that-
or
maybe
it's
maybe
it's
appropriate
for
a
tennis
court.
That's
a
that's
a
great
idea
and
I
like
that
everybody's
badminton
yeah,
some
more
racket,
sports
we've
got
a
good
racket
crew
here
tonight,
all
right,
calm,
gathering
a
community,
so
these
are
great
words.
We're
gonna.
Do
we're
still
having
some
responses
here,
but
in
order
to
keep
us
sort
of
moving
along
we're
gonna
go
to
the
next
slido
slide.
A
What
should
activities
at
these
three
sites
be
related,
distinct
or
it
doesn't
matter,
and
so
I'm
thinking
of
an
example
of
related
we're
like
okay,
I
love
food
and
I
want
all
three
sites.
I
want
one
site
to
have
farmer's
market.
I
want
another
site
to
have
a
community
garden
and
another
site
to
have
picnic
areas
or
maybe
you're
like
no.
A
Let's
do
food
in
one
thing:
let's
do
active
recreation
in
another
thing
or
maybe
you're
like
you
know
what
I
don't
care
so
right
now,
we've
got
a
fair
amount
of
people
who
think
that
they
should
not
be
related.
They
should
not
be
sort
of.
You
know.
One
theme-
and
I
guess
the
point
here
is
not
that,
like
every
single
program
element
would
be
dedicated
to
only
one
thing
in
the
site,
but
it's
just
sort
of
like
if
we're
choosing
a
theme
is
active
recreation.
That
theme
is
food.
A
A
What
would
make
the
difference
for
you
in
deciding
to
go
visit
these
sites?
This
is
like,
what's
going
to
get
you
up
and
off
of
your
sofa
and
like
getting
the
kids
out
the
door,
you
know
what
is
it
sufficient
shade
with
seating?
You
know:
are
you
not
going
to
go
somewhere
if
there
is
no
shade
and
seating
variety
of
activities?
You
got
a
couple.
Kids.
You
have
to
give
them
something
to
do
the
availability
of
parking
or
transit
the
availability
of
services
such
as
drinking
fountains
or
bathrooms.
A
So
it
looks
like
so
far
sufficient
shade
with
seating
is
really
winning
out
and
availability
of
services
such
as
drinking
fountains.
That's
great
because
we're
really
we're
trying
to
incorporate
those
in
the
new
spaces
that
the
parks
department
is
providing
some
way
for
people
to
cool
off
in
the
heat
fill
up
a
water
bottle
variety
of
activities
for
children
right,
so
maybe
we're
looking
at
like
different
ages
on
different
sites.
You
know
over
here
is
where
the
kids
that
are
older
could
hang
out
over.
Here
is
where
the
younger
kids
could
hang
out.
A
So
some
of
that
is
speaking
to
different
different
possibilities
within
the
same
program.
So
that's
great
all
right,
so
it
looks
like
sufficient
shade
receiving
that's
very
achievable
in
all
locations.
So
that's
fantastic!
Let's
go
to
the
next
one
now
this
is.
This
is
an
intense
one,
and
this
may
be
one
of
those
things
where
it
makes
an
appropriate
segue
for
the
open
conversation.
Is
there
a
primary
issue
in
charleston
that
these
sites
could
address?
What
would
that
be?
A
But
let's
see
what
people
write
in
the
meantime,
so
this
is
great:
we've
got
climate
change,
traffic
mitigation,
bike,
transit
connections
and
climate
change,
flood
resiliency,
sufficient
space
for
youth
sports
and
activities
more
trees.
I
mean
this
is
great
because
I
think
a
lot
of
these
things-
green,
green,
open
space,
climate
residents.
A
lot
of
these
things
are
very
easily
addressable
access
to
nature,
safe
transit
along
the
river
up
and
down
urban
heat
island
flood
resilience,
traffic
situation
and
the
need
for
more
green,
open
space
traffic
safety.
A
Yep
we're
hearing
a
lot
of
that.
I
mean
it
makes
sense.
You
know
we
have
this
large
roadway
that
is
being
reconfigured
so
that
there
will
be
some
safe
pedestrian
crossings
in
it,
but
it
still
is
going
to
be
a
reality.
There's
still
going
to
be
a
roadway
there
welcoming
and
comfortable
pedestrian
connections,
calm,
open
space,
all
right.
The
proposed
development
of
sullivan
square
area
to
add
large
office
retail
will
require
a
lot
of
green
space,
not
clear.
This
will
increase
charlestown's
ratio
of
green
space
to
1
000
residents.
A
That's
a
good
point.
We
could
talk
about
that
storm
water,
cleansing
from
roads
all
right.
So,
let's,
let's
keep
moving
on
to
the
next
slide,
which
I
think
is
basically
just
we're
going
to
open
up
the
conversation
at
this
point,
we're
showing
you
this
aerial
photo
just
to
sort
of
jog
your
memory
of
these
three
spaces
and
how
close
they
are
to
each
other.
The
new
street
alignment
street
goes
underneath
sullivan
square,
but
then
also
around
it
ryan
playground.
G
E
E
The
other
thing
is,
I
don't
know
if
the
city
is
still
planning
on
relocating
the
community
center
and
how
does
that
fit
into
this
here?
We
are
talking
about
all
these
wonderful
activities,
but
if
there
was
a
community
space
center,
maybe
not
necessarily
on
these
apostles,
but
on
one
of
the
other
fossils
that
become
available
from
the
reconfiguration
of
sullivan
square.
How
would
that
relate
to
this
to
these
spaces?
So
I
you
know,
I'm
not.
M
M
As
someone
who
both
loves,
open
space,
loves,
greenery,
loves
trees,
but
also
has
someone
who
walks
their
dogs
and
their
children
down
to
come
in
the
path
behind
shraps,
almost
daily,
just
access
to
the
water,
the
ability
to
walk
more
easily
have
more
space
to
sort
of
enjoy
and
recreate.
It's
just
it'd,
be
so
great.
I'm
just
so
excited
to
see
this
conversation
happening.
N
N
Some
of
it
could
be
temporary,
it's
not
necessarily
permanent,
but
as
an
example
behind
behind
the
spalling
rehab
hospital
there's
a
piece
of
land
there
that
could
be
used.
I
know
there's
some
issues
with
the
land,
but
maybe
combined
with
the
spalding.
Maybe
something
can
be
done
there
to
make
it
a
rugby
field
as
an
example
or
a
soccer
field,
so
the
kids
can
take
advantage
of
that.
N
K
N
Good,
I
I
like
that,
because
I'd
like
to
see
the
community
pathway,
which
goes
all
the
way
around
to
275,
to
maybe
be
part
of
this.
That
would
be
nice
because
that
way,
the
community
itself
wants
to
be
able
to
get
down
to
green
too,
not
just
between
the
parks
but
get
to
the
parks,
and
I
think
that
that
connectivity
is
sort
of
missing
here
along
bunker
hill,
medford
and
obviously
the
community
pathway.
O
A
Are
we're
we're
going
to
be
reaching
out
potentially
to
some
school
groups
and
trying
to
see
if
we
can
engage
them,
because
sometimes
people
bring
them
to
community
meetings,
but
not
often,
and
so
it's
it's
a
group
that
obviously
they
use
open
space
a
lot
and
we
would
we
want
to
hear
what
they
want
as
well.
So
it's
a
great
point
you
made.
Thank
you.
G
Hand
up
kathy,
you
can
unmute
yourself
hi.
So
for
those
of
you
who
don't
know
me,
I'm
involved
with
charlestown
little
league
one.
I
have
two
comments
to
make.
One
is
probably
the
obvious
that
we
really
need
an
exit
for
cars
from
ryan
playground
directly
into
saloon
square,
and
hopefully
that's
part
of
this
process.
G
Secondly,
my
my
wish
is
that
the
developers
in
the
area,
which
would
include
the
shraps
flatly
complex
the
potential
new
project
over.
I
think
it's
on
mystic
street
the
hood
complex
that
they
all
have
that
they're
all
required
to
give
something
back
to
the
community,
and
I
know
that
they
always
say
that
they're
going
to.
G
G
I
know
joanne
made
a
point
that
soccer
tripled
in
size
little
league
has
doubled
in
size
as
well.
Now
all
the
programs
are
growing
and
the
great
thing
is
that
the
families
are
staying
in
charlestown
and
they're
raising
their
kids
here
and
they
need
facilities.
So
if
there's
any
way
to
make
part
of
the
plan-
and
I
and
I
hope
this
plan
charlestown-
has
in
mind
to
make
these
developers,
you
know
provide
some
of
the
needed
outdoor
space
or
even
indoor
practice
space
that
that
our
town
really
needs.
G
It
would
be
nice
if
we
could
do
this
all
you
know
as
one
big
planned
project
instead
of
saying
well
right
now
we're
doing
ryan
and
sullivan
and
hood
and
then
later
we'll
do
barry
and
then
maybe
later
we'll
include
something
with
shraps
and
then
maybe
even
later
than
that
we'll
do
something
with
the
the
bunker
hill
housing
project
development,
but
it
would
be
nice
to
have
some
kind
of
plan
to
you
know
come
up
with.
You
know
a
contiguous
idea
of
space
outdoor
space,
including
all
these
areas
in
town.
B
O
O
I
think
that
may
have
been
before
you
arrived,
and
also
just
wanted
to
note
that,
to
your
other
point,
about
having
new
development
provide
new
open
space
that
that
that's
a
primary
reason
why
the
plane,
charlestown
planning
staff,
are
here
from
the
vpda
and
as
far
as
we
can
tell,
new
development
will
be
required
to
provide
open
space
for
the
new
people
that
it
would
bring
to
the
neighborhood.
So
whether
those
are
people
working
or
living
in
the
neighborhood.
O
We
would
expect
roughly
the
same,
so
I
don't
want
to
speak
for
the
process.
Yet
we
need
to
hear
from
stakeholders
in
meetings
like
this,
but
my
expectation
is
that
the
plan
will
probably
include
something
along
the
lines
of
the
expectation
that
for
projects
the
size
of
hood
park,
if
it's
providing
that
much
new
built
area,
it
would
require
a
comparable
amount
of
new
public
open
space
as
well.
That's
a
good
template.
B
Okay,
thank
you
so
much.
That
was
really
great
thoughts
and
comments,
and
I
can
assure
you
that
we,
we
agree
with
you
and
and
kind
of
our
mindsets
alive
when
we
look
at
development
projects-
and
you
know,
every
development
project
will
have
its
own
articulating
process,
but
from
the
planning
side,
whether
it's
ted
myself,
kelly
anna,
we,
you
know,
we
work
on
the
planning
side
of
things,
but
we
participate
in
all
the
article
80
right,
the
development
project
meeting,
so
we're
trying
to
amplify
exactly
what
you
just
said
through
every
development
project.
B
So,
as
ted
mentioned
hood
green
is
a
direct.
It's.
It's
added
green
space
directly
extracted
from
a
development
project.
So
it's
a
great
example
how
open
space
can
be
created
from
development
projects?
So
it's
a
ted's
point's
a
template.
It's
an
example!
It's
just!
How
do
we
continue
to
ensure
that
we're
extracting
those
public
goods
and
public
benefits
that
is
meaningful
for
the
community?
So
to
your
point,
how
do
we
kind
of
create
active,
open
space
via
development
projects?
B
A
Thank
you
there's
some
other
people
who
have
their
hands
up,
but
just
while,
while
we're
going
to
take
these
people's
comments
and
ideas,
I
want
people
to
sort
of
be
thinking.
You
know
the
word
cloud
exercises
that
we
did
the
the
survey
that
we
did
earlier,
the
live
polling,
the
word
community
came
up
quite
a
bit
and
so
like
what
does
that
mean?
A
F
N
Okay,
I
love
this
approach
of
having
a
dialogue
I
like
to
see
more
of
it
and
I'd
like
to
see
something
that
is
not
necessarily
open
space,
but
collectively,
all
of
of
what
our
desires
are
not
to
say
that
they're
going
to
happen,
it's
just
saying:
okay,
what
would
we
like
collectively
as
as
a
community
for
charlestown,
for
it
could
be
businesses?
It
could
be
industrial,
it
could
be
visionary,
open,
space,
obviously
transit.
N
You
know
we
seem
to
always
find
compartmentization
of
doing
things
planned.
Charleston
is
a
great
start,
but
independent
of
that
there
has
to
be
what
I
call
a
50,
000
foot
level
view
of
charlestown,
and
we
don't
have
that.
We
don't,
for
instance,
roads
there's
certain
roads
that
are
in
bad
shape,
they've
been
that
way
for
a
while,
but
there
isn't
other
than
calling
to
the
mayor's
line
and
getting
it
in
the
eventual
tick
list.
N
You
know,
there's
got
to
be
something
better,
that
we
can
do
to
sort
of
have
a
better
understanding,
collectively
of
where
things
are
going
and
how
to
categorize
and
figure
out
what
needs
to
be
done.
First,
there
doesn't
seem
to
be
much
of
that
going
on
that
the
community
sees
it's
probably
being
done
in
behind
closed
doors,
but
I
don't
think
the
community
sees
a
lot
of
that.
N
I
just
want
to
say
that
you
know
the
what
we
what
I'm
looking
for
as
far
as
the
spaces,
I
think
hood
green
is
a
great
place
for
quiet.
You
know
type
of
activities,
picnicsing
picnicking
concerts,
you
know
things.
You
know
that
are
more
in
in
the
quiet
realm,
because
it
is
an
area
that's
going
to
be
quieter
than
the
square
space
or
obviously
ryan.
It's
going
to
be
noisy
because
it
got
kids,
but
the
idea
is
that
you,
you
have
a
place
that
can
have
more
cultural
activities.
N
N
I
think
that
would
be
very
important
to
leverage
that
for
the
entryway
into
ryan
more
effectively,
as
well
as
the
transit
in
and
out
of
ryan,
for
the
bicyclists
that
are
not
from
the
community,
but
going
through
the
community
we're
going
to
have
a
huge
quantity
of
transit
by
bicyclists
coming
from
everett
and
other
westward
spaces
coming
through
down
the
r.
What
I
call
the
riverwalk
versus
the
versus
the
harbor
walk
pathway
and
into
boston
as
well
as
down
to
the
navy
yard.
N
I
think
that's
gonna
be
a
huge
draw
for
a
lot
of
people
to
come
in
for
work
as
well
as
for
pleasure,
as
well
as
our
own
exiting
out
of
charlestown
to
go
to
the
parks
on
the
upper
part
of
the
river.
I
think
that
is
a
terrific
way
of
getting
people
in
and
out
of
charlestown
by
bicycle,
because
there
isn't
any
real
pathway
without
putting
your
life
at
risk,
but
the
riverwalk
is
the
way
in
and
out
for
pedestrian
and
cyclists.
A
And
I
I
thank
you
so
much
dan.
I
just
also
wanted
to
note
that
the
ryan
playground,
the
brandon,
said
this.
We
will
be
coordinating
with
giraffes
to
make
sure
that
our
waterfront
edge
ensures
that
sort
of
seamless
transition
so
that
people
still
have
unbroken
access
to
the
water
at
that
at
that
interface.
So
those
are
some
great
points
dan
and
I
thank
you
very
much
again
for
bringing
those
ideas
both
about
the
regional
considerations
as
well
as
the
specific
sites.
I
think
that's
really
helpful.
We
also
have
joanna's
iphone.
P
Thank
you.
I
do.
Can
you
hear
me?
Yes
in
my
car?
Okay
thanks,
so
I
just
dan,
you
said
a
lot
of
smart
things.
The
thing
that
stuck
out
the
most,
though,
was
that
charlestown
needs
a
master
plan
and
plan
charlestown,
while
they,
you
know,
promised
to
be
that
have
really
fallen
short
and
I'm
sorry
if
that
sounds
harsh,
but
I'm
not
alone
in
my
thinking
and
so
then
back
to
joann's
great
idea
about
getting
more
families
to
talk
about
what
they
want,
and
you
know
needing
more
space
for
soccer.
P
P
And
so
when
people
talk
about
shade,
I
hope
that
people
are
talking
about
canopy,
shade
and
not
you
know
awnings
or
umbrellas,
because
I
think
that's
really
what
charlestown
needs
more
of,
and
you
know
you
mentioned
the
particulate
matter
and
then
someone
else
mentioned
tennis
courts
and
I
just
think
it
doesn't
sound
like
a
place.
I'd
want
to
play
tennis
unless
there
were
a
lot
of
big,
mature
trees,
creating
some
buffer
from
that
particulate
matter.
P
P
How
are
the
hotel
guests
gonna
feel
when
50
families
from
charlestown
decide
to
have
a
picnic
on
the
green,
I
mean,
if
we're
trying
to
encourage
families,
to
engage
and
to
be
a
part
of
this
activation
of
space.
We
can't
then
also
say
it
has
to
be
quiet,
because
my
kids
aren't
quiet
and
so
yeah.
I
think
these
are
things
that
are
really
important
to
be
thinking
about,
and
I'm
glad
that
we're
able
to
talk
about
it
early
on,
I
also
just
want
to
ask:
has
there
been
a
shadow
study
on
these
two
parks?
P
Anyway,
you
talked
about
how
gorgeous
the
sun
setting
on
the
west
side
is,
and
a
lot
of
us
would
agree,
unfortunately,
with
the
wall
of
buildings
going
up
we're
not
going
to
be
having
as
much
access
to
that
sunset,
especially
in
december,
which
is
a
shame
but
yeah.
So
that's
those
are
my
questions.
If
you
could
answer
them,
that
would
be
great
thanks.
A
O
So,
if
that's,
what
you're?
Referring
to
there
are
shadow
studies
in
their
filing,
so
anyone
that's
interested
in
that
can
just
do
a
google
search
for
hood
park,
review
or
hood
park
and
bpda
and
look
at
their
pda
development
plan.
Sorry,
their
pda
master
plan,
that's
a
plan,
development
area
master
plan,
so
there's
shadow
studies
there.
F
I
You
gonna
meet
yourself
thanks.
I
think
tim
was
before
me
and
his
hand
went
down
that
went
back
up
so
anyhow
I'll
keep
it
short.
My
name
is
amber
christopherson,
I'm
the
greenways
director
of
the
mystic
river
watershed
association.
You
know,
love
all
this
discussion
and
the
idea
of
bringing
these
green
spaces
together.
I
So
I'm
glad
that
the
city
is
really
thinking
about
how
to
capture
open
space
from
all
this
development,
because
I
think
it's
just
so
so
critical
like
cannot
be
overstated,
that
all
this
development
is
going
to
come
in,
which
brings
lots
of
people
and
people
need
places
to
go.
They
need
places
to
get
on
foot
and
on
bike.
So
it's
just
I'm
glad
everyone's
thinking
about
that.
But
it's
a
good
point
about
metrics
and
the
thing
I
would
say
about
turf.
I
Our
organization
has
gotten
brought
into
a
lot
of
discussions
about
turf,
particularly
on
the
waterfronts,
and
I
we
see
the
side
of
equity
and
the
ability
to
actually
have
fields
that
people
can
play
on
because
as
soon
as
you
have
natural
fields,
it's
really
tough
to
get
the
hours
in
and
it
you
know,
there's
a
huge
trade
off
there.
So
we
have
seen
some
best
practices
around
new
methods
of
turf.
That
does
not
involve
the
rubber
crumb.
A
Thank
you
amber.
That's
definitely
true,
and
I
I'd
love
to
hear
love,
to
connect
with
you
about
your
research
into
alternate
turf
solutions,
because
that
is
something
that
we
always
struggle
with.
You
know
the
maintenance
of
grass
versus,
like
the
perceived
less
maintenance
from
aster
turf
and
the
heat
island
effect
that's
associated
with
synthetic,
so
those
are
all
great
points.
Thank
you.
O
And
sorry
to
jump
in,
but
just
quickly
to
address
the
other
part
of
amber's
comment
about
proportionate
open
space
to
people.
So,
for
example,
you
know
hood
green
is
intended
to
serve
the
people
that
are
in
that
come
with
hood
park,
in
addition
to
the
other
open
spaces
associated
with
hood
park.
But
let's
say
somebody
else
wants
to
develop
a
new
building
in
the
area.
They
can't
say:
oh
hood,
green
is
serving
my
new
people.
O
The
way
it
works
is
you
know
you
have
to
do
a
similar
thing
and
demonstrate
that
you're
making
adequate
open
space
contributions
for
new
people
that
would
come
in
associated
with
your
additional
projects.
So
I'm
just
saying
another
version
of
what
jay
said
earlier,
but
you
know
hood
green
is
to
serve
hood
park
and
then
you
have
developer
x
wants
to
do
developer
experience.
They
would
be
required
to
do
that
as
well.
O
I
H
All
right,
thank
you,
and
I
just
want
to
piggyback
again
off
kathy's
remarks
and
I'm
sorry
b
for
continuing
to
try
and
shift
the
focus
on
on
these
calls,
but
I
want
to
offer
a
suggestion
that
maybe
we
could
we
could
follow.
We
we
talked
about
you
know
these.
These
forms
are
great
for
getting.
You
know,
anecdotal
feedback
from
the
from
the
community.
The
survey
is
a
great
way
to
get.
H
You
know
some
quantitative,
but
still
pretty
anecdotal
feedback.
I
think
a
really
good
forum,
potentially
to
to
work
in
a
strategic
manner,
is
to
create
a
subcommittee
under
the
plan.
Charlestown
specifically
focused
on
open
space
and
and
get
that
kicked
off
asap
because,
while
we
think
this
is
going
to
be
the
first
project,
obviously
in
this
space,
as
we
know,
there's
you
know
pressing
and
already
funded
projects
for
the
other
parks
that
still
have
not
been.
H
H
You
know
how
it's
really
difficult
near
impossible
to
say
what
is
the
best
use
of
this
land
here,
specifically
in
this
corner
of
charlestown,
when
we're
not
looking
holistically
at
the
needs
of
of
the
programming
for
outdoor
active
space.
In
particular,
you
know,
like
kathy
said
you
can't
just
take
hood
green
or
any
comparable
space
from
large
development.
Those
are
just
not
suitable.
H
There
are
few
very
few
spaces
in
charlestown
that
can
be
suitable
unless
we
go
into
dpa
area
zone
or
unless
you
you
cordon
off
area
in
urban
rural,
around
bunker
hill
community
college,
it
just
doesn't
exist
and
there
there
really
needs
to
be
a
comprehensive
plan.
Looking
at
the
current
needs
and
extrapolating
that
out,
based
on
population
growth
and
where
we
think
we're
going
to
need
in
the
future.
L
But
when
you're
looking
at
the
proposed
projects,
especially
around
sullivan
square
and
along
the
mystic
river,
those
are
separate
parcels,
some
of
them
share
developers
but
they're
separate
parcels.
So
I
don't
see
how
approaching
this
separately
through
the
article
80
process
is
really
going
to
get
charlestown
what
it
needs.
So
I
look
at
there's
when
you're
looking
at
the
redesign
of
sullivan
square,
there's
that
development
parcel
honestly
that
should
be
green
space
as
well,
and
I
think
there
needs
to
be.
L
I
I
will
say
I'm
fairly
disappointed
in
in
some
of
what
I've
seen
for
rutherford,
ave
and
sullivan
square.
I
I,
like
the
the
you
know,
what's
happening
at
the
rotary,
but
you
know
I.
It
was
a
real
opportunity
to
have
something
that
was
much
more
like
the
rose
kennedy
greenway
and
there
is
need
for
more
green
space
along
there
and
you
know,
suitability
of
use.
L
You
know
a
little
bit
of
green
space
for
our
tenants
and
then
lots
of
hot
sidewalk
and
asphalt
until
you
get
to
the
next
development,
where
you
know
again
little
tiny
bit
of
green
space,
because
it's
proportional
to
what
you
know
hood
park
has
provided
with
hood
green
and-
and
I
don't-
I
also
think
I'd
like
to
hear
more
about
how
that
ratio
works
with
other
developers,
because
I
would
think
that,
given
this
the
area
hood
park,
that's
going
to
be
a
pretty
small
set-aside
that
you're
asking
for.
So
those
are
my
thoughts.
O
Yeah
you're,
I
mean
you're
preaching
to
the
choir,
at
least
from
my
point
of
view,
nancy
that
I
think
the
way
these
problems
should
get
solved
is
in
a
holistic
way,
a
neighborhood
scale,
looking
at
open
space
needs
on
a
neighborhood
scale
and
also
a
city-wide
scale,
and
also
looking
at
climate
resilience
through
a
through
a
neighborhood
scale.
Also-
and
so
I
mean
I'm
biased,
but
I'm
a
neighborhood
player.
That's
why
I
chose
to
become
a
planner
and
work
in
the
planning
part
of
the
bpda,
so
through
the
playing
charlestown
process.
O
I
I
hope
to
do
that
work.
This
is
one
of
the
first
examples
where,
before
there
was
a
play
in
charlestown
these
these
open
space
discussions
for
these
three
open
spaces
that
you
see
on
the
screen
now
were
separate,
and
I-
and
I
would
like,
in
my
ideal
world,
we'll
wrap
up
playing
charlestown
and
and
have
a
template
so
that,
when
development
review
happens
going
forward,
it's
not
done
in
a
piecemeal
way,
as
it
had
been
done
in
the
past.
O
I
don't
know
also
sorry
just
one
more
thing,
but
any
questions
about
the
roadway
itself
bill,
conroy
who's
joined
us
from
btd
he's
the
real
expert
on
that
he's:
a
transportation
planner,
I'm
a
land
use
planner.
So
I
don't
think
there
were
direct
questions
about
that,
but
just
want
to
note
that
playing
charlestown
is
being
done
in
coordination
with
bill
sort
of
a
hand
involved
approach
so
that
play
in
charlestown
and
roadway
planning
that
is
organized
by
bill
conroy
working
together
in
a
hand-in-glove
manner,
but
I'm
not
a
transportation
planner.
A
N
A
I
think
that
if
we
have
everybody's
contact
information
from
tonight,
I
had
put
a
request
in
earlier.
If,
if
you
did
not
sign
up
for
the
meeting
with
your
email
address
like
if
you
did
not
enter
that
into
zoom,
it
won't
show
up,
and
so,
if
you
send
me
your
email
address,
I
will
send
out
any
further
communications.
A
N
A
N
A
A
We
have
these
are
the
email
addresses
for
the
teams
project
manager.
I
am
for
project
manager
for
boston
parks
and
recreation
for
ryan
long
evening,
we've
got
jay
ruggiero
for
bpda.
We've
got
bill
conroy
for
the
btd
rutherford
avenue
project
and
mark
rosenschein
so
copy
these
down.
Do
a
quick,
screenshot?
A
Send
us
questions
further
thoughts
on
this.
If
you
have
further
thoughts
after
this
meeting,
I
also
if
we
flick
to
the
next
slide.
I
want
to
give
a
quick
shout
out.
For
this
event:
that's
happening.
The
mystic
river
watershed
association
is
also
doing
work
with
open
space
in
charlestown,
so
they're
having
their
open
house
this
weekend.
There's
a
qr
code
there.
If
you
want
to
scan
that
for
more
information,
but
otherwise
it's
11am
to
1pm,
you
can
go
and
contribute
your
thoughts
and
ideas
and
get
connected
with
that
group.
A
A
My
contact
information
is
on
that
webpage
as
well,
so
there
are
numerous
ways
to
remain
in
touch
to
be
in
touch.
We
really
appreciate
everybody
taking
the
time
to
come
to
this
meeting
tonight
and
share
your
thoughts
and
your
feedback,
and
you
know
it's.
It's
always
helpful
and
I
thought
tonight
was
a
was
a
great
conversation
and
very
productive.
So
I
want
to
say
thank
you
and
please
stay
in
touch,
and
I
hope
you
have
a
good
evening.
