Description
Malcolm X Park Final Design Meeting - Thursday January 21, 2021 (Part 2)
A
And
I
hope
you're
really
excited.
As
you
can
see,
we
have
new
scope.
This
was
one
of
the
key
things
that
we
heard.
A
lot
of
people
thought
that
the
field
area
should
be
included
in
the
design
process
and
we're
excited
to
say
that
it
now
is
and
we'll
dive
into
these
areas,
we'll
start
with
the
courts
and
playground
area
and
then
move
into
the
passive
area
and
field
area
and
then
finally,
talk
about
a
few
options
for
additional
design
elements.
A
A
The
play
area
is
still
at
the
peak
on
walnut
avenue,
there's
still
a
large
open,
passive
recreation
area
through
the
heavily
wooded
core
of
the
park
area
and
we're
looking
to
replace
the
existing
field
with
a
synthetic
multi-use
field,
while
improving
multiple
amenities
throughout
the
site
and
creating
a
much
more
accessible
space
for
people
with
multiple
abilities.
So,
as
you
can
see
here,
every
route
that's
marked
in
orange
is
will
be
considered
an
ada,
accessible
path.
A
The
next
slide,
please,
the
first
area
we
want
to
discuss
is
the
court
area,
and
obviously
this
is
one
of
the
the
key
components
to
the
the
park
and
to
our
project,
and
you
know
from
a
lot
of
the
discussions
that
we
heard
the
biggest
thing
that
people
were
scared
of
was
us
moving,
removing
or
destroying
the
spirit
of
the
space,
and
I
think
that
what
we
heard
most
was:
let's
keep
the
terraces.
A
Let's
keep
that
sense
of
accomplishment
and
moving
up
through
skill
levels
and
design
levels
through
discussion
with
coach
wilson,
we
heard
that
there
was
a
latent
desire
to
have
a
full-size.
I
want
to
say
full-size,
I
mean
college
or
professional
size,
basketball
court,
if
possible,
to
see
if
any
sort
of
exhibition,
games
or
other
type
events
could
be
held,
so
we're
working
to
develop
a
full-size
94-foot
by
50-foot
basketball
court
at
the
top
terrace.
A
Instead
of
the
standard,
I'm
sorry
80-foot
to
84
foot
basketball
court,
we're
also
looking
to
improve
the
spectator
amenities
around
the
site,
including
bleachers
scoreboards,
improved,
led
lighting
and
improved
access
to
all
the
courts
so
that
there
will
be
an
ada
accessible
route
to
every
court
from
both
martin
luther
king,
jr
boulevard
and
from
in
inside
the
park.
A
A
Next
slide,
please,
for
those
of
you
who
have
been
to
previous
meetings.
Many
of
these
images
aren't
new
to
you,
but
for
those
of
you
who
are
new
to
the
meetings-
or
this
is
your
first
meeting-
you
can
see
here
what
we're
looking
to
do,
we're
looking
to
integrate
bleachers
and
other
amenities
in
a
concise
and
cohesive
manner.
A
So
it's
not
just
bleachers
in
the
grass
we're
looking
to
include
terrace
seating
on
some
of
the
hillsides
because,
as
as
everyone
knows,
this
park
is
very
hilly
and
steep
improve
the
court
lighting
we're
looking
at
an
led
sports
lighting,
which
is
boston
standard
now,
as
well
as
improving
the
basketball
court
surfaces
and
surrounds
themselves.
A
Beyond
that,
I
think
the
other
things
that
we
heard
was
that
you
know
improving
the
surfaces
of
the
courts,
improving
the
game
play
and
improving
the
spectator
amenities,
so
that
more
people
can
enjoy
the
events
from
the
sidelines
as
well,
where
the
the
key
takeaways
that
we've
we've
heard
so
far
next
slide.
Please.
A
With
that,
I
want
to
open
it
up
for
discussion,
we're
going
to
try
for
five
minutes
and
if
I
cut
you
off
we'll
try
to
finish
all
comments
as
they
come
in,
but
we'll
try
to
wrap
this
up
around
6
29
and
we'll
move
on
to
the
next
section.
C
So
my
name
is
shawna
bryant.
I
live
in
grove
hall.
My
nieces
and
nephews
live
across
the
street
on
kensington
street
and
I'm
just
curious
around
the
the
seating,
the
the
bleachers
seating
and
those
tables
and
chairs,
where
there'll
be
a
barbecue
area.
Is
that
all
just
cement
or
is
it
a
little
bit
more
friendly
material.
A
Right
now,
I
think
we're
showing
it
as
cement.
Typically,
what
we
can
do
with
those
spaces
is
work
with
the
the
pattern,
material
and
color
the
cement
to
make
it
feel
more
well
put
down
than
just
a
simple
pathway
or
park
going
to
a
higher
level
material.
Things
like
stone
dust
are
often
a
maintenance
problem
for
the
city
of
boston
and
also
a
cost
concern.
If
you
look
at
things
like
unit
pavers
and
items
like
that,
so
there's
a
maintenance
and
cost
concern
with
that.
So
in.
B
C
Yeah,
a
special
or
comfortable
is
what
I'm
thinking,
not
even
right,
yeah
yeah
and
then
with
the
barbecue
area.
I
don't
know
if
the
picture
showed
it
or
I
didn't
see
it.
How
many
like
barbecue
grills
are
in
that
space?
Is
it
two
and
then
three
three
table
setting
areas
around
each
of
them?
Is
that
what
I'm
saying
on
this
photo
here.
A
It's
not
fully
detailed
out
yet
currently
we're
planning
for
five
barbecue
areas,
actual
barbecues
and
then
the
seeding
that
you
see
there.
I
think
we're
holding
five
total
cafe
style
tables.
Okay,
I.
E
Good
evening
my
name
is
alfreda
harris,
sheldon,
community
council
inc
and
first
I
want
to
let
you
know
lauren
that
dennis
wilson
will
not
be
able
to
join
us
tonight.
Oh
that's
too
bad.
Unfortunately,
he
forgot
that
basketball
season
started
today.
B
E
Yeah
he
asked
me
to
do
that
in
regards
to
the
the
field
the
community
had
talked
about.
The
walking
track
is
that
still
in
the
plans.
E
E
E
E
Aluminum,
okay:
in
regards
to
the
murals
murals,
I
know
we
haven't
quite
put
that
all
together
yet,
but
one
of
the
things
that
we
want
to
talk
about
in
regards
to
the
roxboro
basketball
association,
which
is
one
of
the
leagues
that
really
brought
wash,
I
call
it
washington
park,
malcolm
xbox,
to
life,
as
well
as
the
boston,
neighborhood
basketball
league,
which
is
a
league
that
was
put
together
by
the
city
of
boston
for
the
younger
kids.
E
E
D
A
Very
good
back
from
from
both
sides,
all
all
the
courts
will
be
accessible.
F
Okay,
my
name
is
norman
stenbridge
and
in
regards
to
the
courts
themselves,.
F
Especially
if
you're
going
to
expand
one
of
them
to
be
able
to
accommodate
out
certain
activities,
what
type
of
equipment
with
the
backboards
I
I
I'm
sorry,
I
can't
remember
what
they're
currently
used
for
the
backboards.
If
they're
metal
could
be
some
type
of
plexiglas
material.
B
Yeah,
the
that's
a
good
question.
The
standard
for
boston
parks
when
we
renovate
quartz
is
to
use
a
clear
plexi,
which
is
like,
I
think,
like
the
acrylic
backboard,
that
you're
talking
about.
F
B
A
You
know
I
I
don't
remember
off
the
top
of
my
head,
but
I
do
know
that
typically
they're
more
advanced
and
they
usually
break
away.
I
just.
G
D
D
I
think
we
have
typically
knock
on
with
the
breakaway,
because
it's
you
know
if
people
are
prone
to
hanging
on
it,
it's
constantly
flexing
lauren.
Do
you
know
whether
see
I
know
there's
been
attempts
to
use
it,
but
I
think
we've
kind
of
gotten
away
from
the
breakaway.
E
Yeah
well
presently,
the
ones
that
are
there
now
they
have
been
held
up
pretty
good
yeah.
B
Does
anyone
else
have
any
other
last
thoughts
on
the
courts
before
we
jump
to
our
next.
H
J
Yes,
hi
good
evening
my
husband
and
I
michelle
bernardes
and
rudolph
bernardes.
We
live
right
down
the
street
on
dale
street
and
I
my
question
was
about
having
a
backboard
there,
tennis
for
back
in
the
backboard,
but
I
see
that
you're
going
to
have
that.
My
husband
also
has
a
question
as
well.
K
H
K
K
Especially
especially
the
the
lighting
pod,
when
do
our
construction
supposed
to
start
we're.
B
Hoping
it's
going
to
be
this
summer,
assuming
everything
continues
to
work:
okay,
with
covet
and
being
able
to
start
when
we
think
we
can,
if
we
don't
have
another
construction,
shutdown
and-
and
the
thought
is
that,
with
all
the
scope,
it
will
be
spring
or
summer
of
2022.
That
will
reopen
everything,
because.
B
K
Oh
yeah
yeah,
it's
it's
time,
it's
time.
For
that
part
to
be
redone
anyway,.
B
J
I
just
want
to
just
add
one
thing:
I
take
my
grandkids
up
there
and
you
know
I
know
now
they
have
you
know
a
lot
of
guys
come
up
there
and
they
do
a
lot
of
drinking.
They
break
glass
glasses
everywhere.
So
my
prayer
is
that
they
maintain
it
and
they
keep
it
clean
and
they
keep
people
from.
You
know
going
up
there
and
being
destructive.
J
E
Let
me
let
me
just
add
a
couple
something
real
quick.
You
know,
I'm
glad
that
folks
from
the
community
are
very
happy
about
the
renovations
and
all,
and
at
some
point
we
do
plan
to
mobilize
the
immediate
community
just
to
talk
about
taking
that
part
back.
M
E
And
accountability
responsibility!
That's
right!
If
you,
if
you
don't
use
your
plot,
anything
might
happen.
Yes,
but
we
we've
talked
coach
wilson
and
I
have
talked
and
lent
and
a
couple
other
folks
in
terms
of
bringing
folk
together.
It's
our
path,
let's
take
care
of
it.
Yes,.
I
Comment
for
right
now
I
had
a
question
about
the
park
in
terms
of
storage
and
so
just
what?
What
are
the
plans
in
terms
of
having
storage
space?
Just
because
whether.
I
Just
being
able
to
access,
if
you,
if
you
do,
need
to
clean
up
the
park,
if
you
you
know
want
to
sweep
up
or
do
different
things,
there's
not
a
lot
of
storage
space.
You
know
whether
it's
for
equipment,
whether
it's
for
you,
know,
cleaning
supplies
just
different
things
like
that,
and
and
if
there
is
plans
you
know
if
those
are
going
to
be
with
sustainable
materials,
because
some
of
the
storage
boxes
that
were
there
were
wooden-
and
you
know
they
rot
over
time,
and
so
just
just
curious
about
that.
A
I
think
our
understanding
of
the
use
was
really
more
court
oriented
and
the
idea
of
maybe
a
more
general
storage
for
community
cleaning
supplies,
like
you
said,
is
something
that
we
can
add
in
and
think
about,
or
maybe,
if
the
location
you
know
on
or
by
the
courts
is
the
right
spot
for
it.
Maybe
we
can
use
one
of
those
or
or
rethink
and
retool
one
of
those
for
that
kind
of
use.
B
A
Thanks
next
slide,
please.
A
And
dolby,
I
know
you
were
trying
to
get
in.
We
will
ask
you
what
you
had
to
say
about
the
courts.
At
least
I'm
still
seeing
the
course
discussion
thanks
perfect.
So
the
second
area
we
wanted
to
discuss
was
the
play
area
and.
L
L
A
L
A
A
preference
for
traditional
play
equipment.
We
wanted
a
variety
of
play:
experiences,
including
a
lot
of
socializing,
more
caretaker
seating,
making
this
a
more
multi-generational
space
for
for
both
people,
children
and
adults,
playing
on
it
and
people
gathering
around
it
to
watch
their
children
and
their
families.
A
We
wanted
to
use
the
topography
further
instead
of
placing
the
the
playground
just
at
the
top
of
the
hill.
We
wanted
to
use
the
hillside
as
part
of
the
play
element,
and
then
we
wanted
to
open
up
the
visibility
to
the
play
area
from
the
surrounding
park
so
that
it
wasn't
only
seen
from
from
the
very
tops
of
the
materials.
A
A
Next
slide,
please
in
the
5-12
playground
area,
we're
looking
to
use
a
tower
bridge
play
system
that
allows
an
ada
accessible
route
up
to
the
the
second
level
of
a
three-story
traditional
play
tower.
It
includes
a
spiral
slide,
a
long
waving
slide.
A
Multiple
points
of
access
and
a
pretty
open
concept
so
that
there's
good
visibility
both
in
and
around
the
space,
we're
also
using
the
hillside
itself
as
a
play
element,
as
I
mentioned,
including
things
like
an
embankment
roller
slide
and
climbers,
as
well
as
as
more
integrated
components
like
hillside
stones
and
stone
seating
as
well
as
other
seating.
We
also
have
four
belt
swings:
a
group
swing
and
spinners
that
are,
that
include
back
backrests,
which
make
them
more.
A
For
people
with
with
upper
body
restraint
issues,
so
so
minor
disabilities
and
disabilities
can
use
them
as
well.
A
At
this
point,
I
think
that's
the
major
components
to
the
5-12
so
next
slide,
please,
the
2-5
play
area
tries
to
incorporate
the
same
types
of
elements
but
geared
towards
children
that
don't
have
the
same
body,
strength
and
capabilities
as
their
older
counterparts.
A
We
still
have
an
accessible
play
structure
that
has
access
from
on
top
of
the
hill
off
of
the
play.
Area
includes
a
smaller
play
structure
for
for
even
younger
students,
rubber,
climbing
spheres
saddle
spinners
an
accessible
carousel,
which
is
the
item
you
see
on
the
right
as
well
as
bucket,
and
full
support
swings
again.
We're
looking
to
create
a
full
variety
of
play.
A
Opportunities
for
children,
mostly
the
two
to
five
range,
but
even
their
older
siblings,
will
probably
find
some
fun
in
this
space
again
using
the
hillside
and
making
sure
that
there's
plenty
of
caretaker
access
and
seating
both
around
and
inside
the
space.
A
The
next
point
of
discussion
is
how
we
take
the
idea
of
play
and
add
another
level
of
that
concept
into
the
play
area
and
break
it
out
from
the
edges
of
that
playground
and
into
the
other
parts
of
the
park.
A
We've
been
talking
with
omom
moses
of
math
talk
about
the
idea
of
an
education
trail
he's
done
similar
projects
at
magazine
beach
in
dudley
square
and
the
idea
being
that
we
create
a
series
of
play,
elements
that
are
based
on
a
combination
of
on-site,
signage
and
ground
based
play.
As
you
can
see
in
the
pictures
at
the
bottom.
A
It
also
includes
augmented
reality
components
where
children
can
log
on
to
a
free
app
that
you
can
download
on
on
an
iphone
or
a
smartphone
and
and
play
an
additional
level
of
games,
including
things
like
measuring
the
length
of
the
park
or
a
walkway
in
the
length
of
elephants
or
finding
multiple
routes
through
a
random
walk
system.
A
As
you
see
in
the
central
picture,
it's
also
a
really
exciting
opportunity
for
us
to
integrate
some
of
the
other
elements
in
the
site
and-
and
we
had
an
initial
discussion
with
derek
evans
last
night,
about
maybe
bringing
in
some
of
the
history
and
the
same
component,
where
we
can
start
to
look
at
the
historical
locations
of
things
and
mark
them
out
in
ar
or
or
in
on
site
with
additional
information
in
ar.
A
So
that
really
starts
to
move
the
play
from
being
just
in
that
playground
area
and
just
just
on
those
equipment
pieces
and
on
the
surface
there
it
starts
to
create.
You
know,
maybe
eight
to
ten
elements
throughout
the
rest
of
the
park,
where
you
can
go
on
a
hike
or
a
walk
with
your
children
and
do
two
or
three
of
these
events
and
have
these
different
education
walks.
B
One
of
the
other
things
mike
just
to
jump
in
sorry
to
interrupt
one
of
the
other
nice
things
is
that
omom
moses.
That
mike
was
just
talking
about,
in
addition
to
the
fact
that
this
is
something
that
he
does
and
has
installed
in.
You
know
one
of
our
boston
parks,
but
in
a
lot
of
the
parks
in
surrounding
neighborhoods,
is
that
he's
local
to
malcolm
x
park,
and
this
is
actually
his
neighborhood
in
his
park
and
where
he
comes
and
plays
with
his
own
children.
B
So
it's
also
really
exciting
to
have
somebody
that
that
this
is
their
specialty
and
that
this
is
their
home
park.
So
I
just
wanted
to
throw
that
out
there
too.
A
Thanks
lauren
with
that,
we'll
go
to
the
next
slide
and
we'll
open
it
up
for
discussion
again.
Please
let
us
know
your
thoughts
on
what
we've
shown
and
we
can.
We
can
go
back
to
the
play
equipment,
slides
or
leave
it
here
to
discuss
different
components
and
elements
of
the
the
site,
as
it's
designed.
A
A
Of
course,
trees
don't
grow
quickly.
So
what
we're
doing
now
is
also
working
on
adding
as
much
shade
shelters
as
we
can,
with
the
amount
of
funding
that
we
have
so
at
the
top
there.
In
the
center
between
the
two
existing
boulder
outcroppings
or
rock
outcroppings,
you
can
see
we're
starting
to
indicate
an
area
for
gathering
space
with
shade,
shelters.
O
For
the
trees
that
are
going
to
be
installed
in
this
area
and
throughout
other
areas
of
the
park,
is
it
an
opportunity
for
them
to
be
of
a
higher
caliber
of
trees,
similar
to
what
was
installed
in
government
center,
compared
to
what
is
traditionally
installed
along
sidewalks
and
area
mediums
throughout
the
city?.
A
You
know
I
haven't
seen
what
was
installed
at
government
center.
Typically,
the
I'm
gonna
go
a
little
technical
on
it.
The
the
ones
that
are
sidewalks
and
median
trees
are
usually
the
lowest
value
trees
that
can
go
in
just
because
they're
expected
to
to
have
a
short
life
span,
so
they're
just
trying
to
get
them
in
there
I
mean.
B
And
I
think
because
they
also
have
so
many
that
go
in
at
one
time,
they're
doing
hundreds
and
hundreds
at
a
time
versus
a
smaller
quantity
here.
A
Right
here,
what
we'll
be
doing
is
we'll
be
we'll,
be
specifying
three
to
three
and
a
half
inch
caliper
trees
in
the
current
plans,
as
well
as
for
the
smaller
flowering
or
ornamental
tree
caliper,
but
we'll
be
going
out
and
and
actually
tagging
these
trees
individually
before
they're
brought
to
the
site
to
make
sure
that
they're
of
good
enough,
you
know
good
quality
to
be
put
in
so
so
yeah.
We
don't
expect,
sticks
and
twigs.
These
will
be.
These
will
be
nice
trees
when
they're
put
in.
P
K
Have
a
question:
please:
I'm
just
concerned
about
them:
two
huge
rocks.
That's
at
the
very
playground
there
right
now.
Are
they
gonna
eliminate
those.
A
No
right
now
we're
leaving
them
we're
actually
moving
the
play
away
from
them
a
little
further
and
keeping
the
play
on
the
outside
edge
minus
the
potential
for
a
more
naturalized
player,
which
we'll
talk
about
in
a
little
bit
and
we're
really
trying
to
create
more
of
a
gathering
space
around
the
rocks.
A
There's
always
the
potential
for
informal
play
on
those
stones,
but
by
separating
out
the
defined
play
spaces
further
from
it,
they're
no
longer
as
much
of
a
attractive
nuisance
for
kids.
So,
basically
we're
going
to
keep
them
because
of
the
the
cost
prohibitive
nature
of
removing
all
that.
But
we're
going
to
keep
the
play
away
from
it
of
the
kind
of
active
play
that
would
worry.
That
kind
of.
J
B
Hey
mike
there's
a
question
in
the
chat.
Sorry
there's
a
question
in
the
chat
mike
about
the
water
feature
at
the
park.
So
I
don't
know
if
we
could
maybe
spend
a
couple
more
if
we
could
maybe
describe
that
a
little
bit.
A
Absolutely
I'm
sorry,
I
I
completely
glossed
over
that
to
the
top
right
of
the
slide.
There
you'll
see
the
water
splash.
I
A
On
the
park
so
we're
relocating
it,
we're
not
removing
it
we're
looking
to
improve
the
features,
obviously-
and
I
think
we're
holding
around
nine
separate
features,
including
two
boulders
that
will
have
a
water
spray
coming
out
of
them.
A
couple
of
water
tunnels,
which
are
ground-based
jets
that
you
know
shoot
out
at
an
angle
and
create
a
tunnel
of
water.
A
A
couple
of
geysers
low
flow,
high,
higher
pressure,
so
kind
of
high
spray
and
then
a
couple
of
bubblers,
so
smaller
sprays,
we
break
it
out
into
a
a
higher
activity
area
and
a
lower
activity
area.
So
more
of
a
two
to
five
play
area
to
one
side
and
more
of
a
five
to
twelve
and
older
children
play
area
to
the
other
side.
A
F
Yeah,
yes,
some
type
of
water
accessibility
in
these
days.
B
So
I
just
threw
something
in
the
chat:
real,
quick
but
I'll
in
case
people
aren't
looking
at
the
chat
with
drinking
fountains
boston
park
standard
is
drinking
fountains
with
the
ada
drinking
fountains,
so
they're
accessible
with
a
bottle
filling
station
is
our
new
standard
and
typically
in
larger
parks
like
this,
that
have
a
lot
of
different
areas.
F
Question
going
back
to
the
last
slide
in
terms
of
the
playgrounds
that
were
shown,
there
was
a
mention
that
one
of
them
something
similar
is
in
dudley
or
nubian
square.
Might
you
know
where
that?
Where
that
would
be.
A
A
Okay,
you
know-
I
I
don't
know,
but
we
can
get
you
that
information.
Okay,
sorry
I'd
have
to
ask
elmo.
He
wasn't
able
to
make
it
today
he's
traveling
to
florida
with
his
with
the
children,
grandparents.
A
Oh,
of
course-
and
I
think
we'll
probably
have
to
make
this
the
last
question
just
because
we're
five
minutes
are
up,
the
playground
surfacing
is
all
going
to
be
poured
in
place
unitary
rubber
safety
surfacing.
A
E
H
Okay,
I'd
like
to
say
a
few
things:
my
name
is
dobie
abby.
We
met
before
because
I've
been
part
of
several
meetings
and
I
live
down
the
street
from
the
park.
It's
literally
half
half
a
block
from
me,
as,
as
you
all
know,
general
comment
about
the
project
team.
We've
made
some
progress
since
your
early
presentations.
H
I've
seen
that
you
brought
in
a
few
consultants
from
the
community
and
which
is
it's
the
right
step.
It's
a
step
in
the
right
direction.
Sorry
to
say
it's
not
enough.
H
H
Now
in
terms
of
amenities,
as
you
know,
there
are
a
lot
of
there's
a
variety
of
options
and
ideas
put
put
forward
by
the
community.
To
me,
the
most
important
thing
is
that
you
take
them
all
into
account
and
assume
that
this
is
what
you're
doing
so.
Congratulations
on
that
point,
the
the
one
option
that
I
haven't
seen
so
far.
Maybe
it's
too
early
is
the
best
baseball
and
soccer
field.
I
don't
know
what
the
intention
is
about
that.
A
Dolby,
thank
you
and
we're
going
to
cover
a
little
more
about
the
consultants
near
the
end,
especially
with
the
construction
phase
part
of
the
project
and
then
in
the
process
of
where
things
are
currently
there's
only
so
much
we
can
do,
but
we're
making
sure
we
do
as
much
as
we
can
in
terms
of
the
park
area.
We're
definitely
going
to
talk
about
the
field
in
two
sections,
so
first
we're
going
to
talk
about
the
passive
area
and
then
we'll
talk
about
the
field
area
and
we'll
we'll
get
to
that
shortly.
A
Elise,
if
you
can
go
to
the
next
slide,
oh
you're,
there
we're
good
so
in
the
passive
area.
You
know
we
heard
a
lot
and
the
key
thing
we
heard
above
everything
else
was:
keep
the
feeling
of
of
quiet
and
respite
and
nature
and
natural,
but
improve
the
safety
and
accessibility
and
comfort
within
the
space.
So
you
know
we
heard
about
making
it
accommodate
multi-generational
use.
A
We
heard
about
adding
more
accessible
routes
to
the
park
and,
as
you
can
see
here,
we
did
our
best
to
find
a
way
to
create
a
interior
route
through
the
park
that
gets
people
through
an
accessible
well
through
an
accessible
route
to
every
major
component
of
the
park.
The
sheer
steepness
of
the
north-facing
slope
of
the
hill
made
it
impossible
for
us
to
find
a
reasonable
way
to
to
create
a
pathway
up
the
hill
that
would
be
considered
accessible.
A
So
we
go
to
the
next
slide.
Please,
we've
added
things
like
the
game
tables
near
the
edge
and
open
plaza
spaces
at
the
transition
to
street
edges
and
into
the
more
heavily
used
spaces
within
the
park.
So
development
happens
near
the
edges,
but
not
near
the
center.
A
That
space
could
be
a
great
location
where
we
use
the
natural
topography
and
add
a
very
minimal
touch
of
infrastructure,
a
few
sea
walls
and
a
little
bit
of
plaza
space.
A
We're
gonna
open
it
up
again
for
five
minutes
of
discussion.
I
think
really.
The
major
changes
we're
making
here
is
really
an
accessible
route
and
the
one
thing
I
didn't
talk
about
again
was
lighting.
A
Every
ada
route
here
has
an
lighting
I
roughly
85
to
100
foot
spacing
in
the
current
plans
the
existing
park.
A
I
don't
remember
the
exact
number
of
fixtures
that
are
out
there
for
for
pedestrian
lighting
on
the
existing
park,
but
we're
more
than
doubling
it
in
the
current
plans,
so
we're
looking
to
really
improve
the
quality
and
quantity
of
light
for
for
safety
at
night,
as
well
as
improving
the
the
sight
lines
by
doing
selective
pruning
of
many
of
these
trees,
making
sure
we
keep
as
many
as
we
possibly
can
throughout
the
construction
process.
A
B
And
one
of
the
other
things
that
that
makes
me
think
about
is
one
of
the
other
coordinations
within
city
departments
that
we've
been
working
with
is
the
police
department,
because
people
asked
at
the
earlier
community
meetings
about
security
cameras,
so
we
have
been
working
with
bpd
to
look
at
locations
that
would
that
would
work
for
them
in
terms
of
where
they
feel
like,
especially
with
the
topography
and
the
the
known
activities
that
they
that
they
have
in
the
park
and
we're
working
with
them
on
locations
for
cameras
as
well.
B
The
the
other
thing
mike
there
was
a
question
and
there
was
a
an
image
on
the
last
slide
about
chess
tables,
and
someone
was
asking
earlier
where
chess
tables
were
so.
I
was
wondering
if
you
could
specifically
talk
about
the
thought
about
chess
tables
to
answer
that
question.
A
Absolutely,
I
believe,
we're
showing
them
in
a
couple
of
spaces.
Our
our
major
space
would
be
the
gathering
grove
where
elise
is
pointing
at
the
edge
of
dale
there
between
the
field
space
and
the
natural
space.
There's
also
the
opportunity
to
include
them
in
the
barbecue
plaza
as
one
of
the
tables
that
can
be
dual
use.
These
are
permanent
chest
tables,
so
it's
not
something
that
would
be
affected
by
use
of
the
barbecue
space.
A
We
could
also
include
them
up
and
around
the
play
area
or
in
the
central
seating
area.
Although
we
wanted
to
keep
most
of
the
gathering
in
the
larger
gathering
activities
happening
towards
the
edges
of
the
of
the
park
to
keep
the
more
quiet
and
serene
feeling
of
the
interior.
Q
Can
I
ask
a
question:
it's
leah
christie
now,
where
you
have
the
the
gathering
grove
with
the
tables
the
game
tables
now,
is
that
the
area
where
the
seniors
will
have
an
area
to
sit
down
and
use
that
area
for
for
games
or
whatever
what
it?
What
is
this,
these
game
tables
for?
Are
they
for
the
seniors.
A
Yes,
in
short,
yes,
I
think
that
the
idea
is
that
you
know
it's
for
anyone
in
the
park,
but
knowing
the
the
active
senior
community,
especially
along
dale
street,
in
that
area,
right,
there's
gonna
be
two
accessible
entrances.
One
here
at
the
corner
of
dale
and
there'll,
be
an
accessible
route
near
the
parking
lot
along
the
fields
which
we'll
get
to
shortly.
A
So
these
will
be,
you
know,
basically,
a
nearby
area
that
will
have
plenty
of
shade
seating
and
an
accessible
route
to
these.
These
cafe
tables
and
seats.
Okay,
we'll
also
be
right
next
to
the
the
walking
loop
so
we'll
get
to
that
in
the
next
section.
Q
Right
right
near
the
parking
lot
for
child
burn.
Yes
right,
yes,
okay,
and
then
that
would
be
one
place
where
they
security
cameras
would
be
good
in
that
area.
Right
there
for
security
cameras,
and
another
thing
we
had
talked
about
at
a
few
of
the
meetings
were
like
equipment
that
the
seniors
could
use.
A
Yep-
and
we
do
have
those
we'll
get
to
that
into
the
next
section-.
C
So
I
just
wanted
to
ask
about
the
the
amphitheater
area-
and
I
know
it
looks
like
there's
going
to
be-
maybe
circling
benches
or
whatever,
hopefully,
they're,
not
that
hard
concrete
that
we
were
talking
about
in
the
the
benches
with
the
the
courts.
C
But
I'm
just
wondering
if
there's
any
any
thoughts
of
like
incorporating
any
type
of
art-
and
I
know
you
all
were
saying
that
there's
going
to
be
some
type
of
a.I,
where
you
know
folks
can
go
around
with
their
phones
and
it'll
prompt
them
to
do
different
activities
and
so
forth.
And
so
is
any
of
that
thought
to
be
incorporated
within
that
amphitheater
area
for
the
schools
to
use
for
classrooms,
as
well
as
potentially
community
events.
A
A
I
think
that
one
of
the
things
that
we
are
still
working
out
is
is
how
much
community
interest
is
there
in
this
classroom
amphitheater
space?
You
know
we're
trying
to
juggle
a
very
ambitious
plan
with
the
with
the
budget.
A
Still,
you
know
we
expanded
the
budget,
but
we
also
expanded
the
scope,
and
we
want
to
hear
from
you
how
important
you
think
this
amphitheater
is
because
it's
one
of
those
elements,
that's
wasn't
in
the
core
design
plan,
but
it's
something
that
we're
thinking
makes
sense
there
and
we're
hearing
from
people
somewhat
that
it
would
be
nice.
So
I
think
that
art
would
be
easy
to
incorporate
in
that
space.
I
think
the
ai
be
easy
to
incorporate
in
that
space.
A
D
A
C
C
R
I
have
a
question
as
far
as
the
the
walking
paths
will
they
only.
A
Actually,
the
paths
will
be
asphalt,
which
should
be
a
little
easier
on
joints.
A
The
the
plan
is
to
remove
a
lot
of
the
really
heavy,
concrete
components
of
the
existing
pathways
and
then
do
a
a
smaller,
an
actual
narrower
path.
So
most
of
the
paths
will
be
eight
feet
and
the
the
core
of
the
paths
out
there
now
are
eight
to
ten
feet,
but
they
also
have
the
two
foot
gutters
and
and
all
that
on
the
side,
so
they
become
really
wide
and
heavy.
But
we'll
have
some
some
eight
foot
pads
and
some
ten
foot
pads
through
the
space
but
they'll
all
be
asphalt.
M
A
Does
anyone
else
have
any
comments
on
the
passive
area.
A
The
field
here,
obviously
this
is
late
and
breaking
so
we
really
need
to
get
some
feedback
from
from
everybody.
We
heard
some
initial
comments.
You
know
unsolicited
about
things
that
need
to
happen
there.
You
know
we
heard
we
need
to
see
soccer
striping
of
various
sizes.
A
We
also
have
an
accessible
entry
from
washington
street,
which
is
currently
the
inaccessible
stairwell
between
the
shelburne
and
the
dcr
property.
A
Beyond
that,
we're
also
adding
a
sidewalk
connection
to
dale
street
new
tree
planting
terrace
seating
along
the
hillside,
where
people
are
currently
sitting
to
watch
games
as
well,
making
that
more
formalized
and
improving
the
led
sports
lighting
we're
adding.
As
I
mentioned,
the
adult
fitness
nodes
around
the
walking
trail,
as
well
as
benches
spaced
at
intervals
to
allow
anyone
to
take
a
rest,
take
a
break
and
enjoy
the
space
as
well.
A
We're
greatly
improving
the
tree,
planting
around
the
space
working
to
add
more
natural
shade
to
the
edges
and
we're
improving
some
of
the
fencing
and
fence
quality
around
the
fields.
One
of
the
major
issues
with
the
field
quality
now
is
motorized,
bicycles
and
and
atvs
getting
on
there
and
ripping
up
components
of
it.
So,
with
the
synthetic
turf
field,
there'll
be
a
low
fence.
Current
plans
do
not
call
out
any
permanent
gates
in
any
way,
so
it'll
still
be
open
to
the
public.
A
It's
just
a
fence
to
to
stop
motorized
vehicles
to
get
into
it.
B
A
Well,
let's
open
it
up
to
a
little
bit
of
discussion,
we
have
a.
We
have
a
couple
of
images
of
I'm
sorry.
We
have
one
more
slide
before
that,
at
least
it
just
shows
a
couple
of
images
of
multi-generational
use
of
outdoor
athletic
equipment.
A
A
P
What
is
the
surface
of
the
the
walking
the
fitness
loop.
A
P
M
E
Lauren,
has
there
been
any
mention
of
the
improvement
to
the
parking
lot.
B
We
have
talked
about
it,
it's
not
necessarily
part
of
our
scope,
but
we
have
been
talking
about
it
and
trying
to
see
internally
city
department
to
city
department,
potentially
how
we
can
make
some
things.
Some
improvements
there
and
I
think
we
can
kind
of
stretch
some
of
our
scope
a
little
bit
to
try
to
do
a
few
things
here
and
there.
But
it
may
need
to
be
a
departmental
coordination.
D
Yeah,
I
think
also
to
the
question
just
a
few
moments
ago.
It's
you
know.
With
the
synthetic
turf
field
surface,
it
really
is
attractive
in
the
sense
that
it's
able
to
accommodate
all
different
age
groups,
all
different
user
groups
and
stakeholders.
T
Yes,
good
afternoon,
everyone
and
thank
you
to
everyone
for
joining
on
the
call
seems
like
a
you
guys
are
getting
pretty
close
to
where
we
want
to
be
so.
I
appreciate
the
hard
work
that's
gone
into
this
so
far,
so
my
question
is
around
parking,
so
I
understand
that
there
has
been
an
increase
in
allocation
of
funds
to
be
able
to
go
into
revamp
in
the
park,
which
I
appreciate.
T
But
my
question
is
around
parking
and
parking,
particularly
on
the
boulevard,
where
I
know
that
you
know
there
has
been
a
big
issue
with
the
boston
police
department,
taking
in
a
lot
of
folks
on
a
double
park
and
if
you're
increasing
the
capacity
at
the
basketball
courts
in
particular
and
throughout
the
park,
I
think
that
it
makes
sense
to
be
able
to
increase
the
capacity
when
it
comes
to
parking.
T
So
I
wanted
to
hear
what
your
thoughts
are
when
it
comes
to
the
design
team
around
creating
curb
cuts
and
creating
not
parallel
parking
but
kind
of
like,
like
kind
of
side
to
side
stacked
parking,
rather
than
kind
of
just
like
regular
parallel
park.
B
I
can
I
can
try
to
answer
part
of
that.
It's
not
been
something
that
we've
looked
at,
mainly
because
in
terms
of
regulations
with
parkland,
we
actually
are
not
allowed
to
give
park
land
over
to
parking.
So
anything
that
was
not
already
parking
to
begin
with.
We
actually
regulation-wise
are
not
allowed
to
do
that
and
not
meaning
boston
parks
regulation,
but
it's
federal
park
land.
I
believe
so
there.
There
are
regulations
about
that,
but
we
had
not
looked
at
that.
B
We
can
also
try
to
have
conversations
with
btd
and
see
if
there's
any
way
that
in
any
of
their
future
plans,
they
can
look
at
increasing
parking
along
the
street
to
see
if
that
might
be
able
to
help.
But
I
don't
think
as
part
of
our
project
that
we're
going
to
be
able
to
increase
that
at
all.
T
Thank
you
for
that,
and
I
definitely
strongly
recommend
that
I
just
it's
a
good
suggestion.
Thank
you
yeah.
I
definitely
strongly
recommend
that
and
think
that
the
project
will
be
incomplete
without
increasing
the
capacity
when
it
comes
to
parking.
N
I
agree
100.
They
always
do
these
developmental
things
and
make
it
so
that
we
can
all
attend,
but
they
don't
accommodate
for
space
for
people
to
park
and
such-
and
I
know
we
all
want
people
to
use
public
transportation,
but
and
realistically,
when
you're
playing
basketball
and
you
have
teams,
it's
mostly
vehicles.
S
If
I
can
chime
in
just
on
behalf
of
roxbury
youth
soccer
league,
I
just
would
like
to
say
we
really
appreciate
design
area
for
the
fields
being
included
in
this
improvement.
This
is
what
we
were
hoping
for,
so
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
for
having
us
and
echo
the
thought
of
having
lighting
in
the
parking
lot
from
the
shelburne
side.
D
U
Please
yes,
hi
is
donald
brown.
I
had
a
couple
of
questions.
I
just
wanted
to
get
an
update
on
I'm
coming
into
the
zoo
kind
of
late
right
now,
but
anyways.
I
just
wanted
to
know
what
a
date
of
when
we
actually
going
to
start
the
construction
and.
U
Minorities
to
get
on
the
job
to
help
do
the
job
of
the
park
was
that
implemented
into
the
contract
of
the
construction
company.
That's
going
to
be
doing
the
job.
B
There
are
great
questions,
so
there
are
a
lot
of
people
if
the
tv
down,
if
people
aren't
speaking
if
they
could
mute,
it's
a
little
hard
to
hear.
That
would
be
great.
B
So
just
to
try
to
answer
those
questions,
because
they're
very
good
ones-
and
I
know
we
actually
had
a
lot
of
people
going
after
the
meeting
started
so
just
to
reiterate
the
timeline
after
this
meeting,
we're
gonna
go
back
and
make
any
changes
that
we
need
to
based
on
comments
and
work
on
putting
together
construction
drawings,
to
bid
out
we're
looking
to
bid
the
project
out
in
spring
or
sorry.
Yes,
in
this
spring
and
then
start
construction
in
the
summer
is
our
plan.
B
We
don't
have
an
official
start
date
yet
because
there's
still
work
to
be
done
before
we
bid
the
project
out
and
in
terms
of
the
question
about
contractors.
So
there
is
not
a
contractor
on
board,
yet
we
will
go
through
state
procurement,
laws
and
state
procurement,
because
that's
what
we
have
to
do
legally,
so
we
will
be
bidding
the
project
out
and
her
bid
laws.
We
have
to
award
the
project
to
the
lowest
responsible
and
responsive
bidder.
B
That
being
said,
in
general
parks
doesn't
have
a
lot
of
minority
contractors
that
bid
on
projects,
and
we
know
that
and
it's
something
that
we
want
to
change
it's
it's
not
something
that
we
see
right.
We
can't
bid
a
project
to
someone
who
doesn't
we
can
award
a
project
to
somebody
who
doesn't
bid
it
right
who
doesn't
go
after
it,
so
part
of
what
we've
been
doing
and
there's
a
slide
a
little
later
to
talk
more
about
it.
T
B
B
He
does,
I
think
it's
every
month
he
does
meetings
to
teach
people
how
to
go
after
projects
in
the
city,
so
not
just
specific
projects.
But
how
do
you
bid
them?
Where
do
you
look
to
find
out
what's
available,
and
so
he
does
those,
and
then
he
also
does
information
sessions
that
are
specific
to
each
project.
So
that
way
we
can
tell
people.
This
is
how
you
bid
it.
This
is
what
trades
are
going
to
be
needed.
B
This
is
how
you
go
about
trying
to
be
a
part
of
this
project
so
that
we
start
to
get
more
contractors
bidding
than
we
do
have,
because,
since
we
have
to
follow
that
that
law,
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
get
more
people
to
understand
how
to
go
about
it
right,
and
we
do
already
have
that
information
session
for
malcolm
x
park
planned
and
that's
going
to
be
april.
8Th
and
we're
going
to
get
to
that
at
a
slide
down
the
road.
B
K
U
C
C
B
You
don't
have
to,
we
don't
have
to
get
people
off
of
the
state
procurement
like
state
procurement
list
that
doesn't
have
anything
to
do
with
us.
Oh,
I
thought
you
had.
B
Inventor,
oh,
absolutely
absolutely,
and
so
one
of
the
things
when
we
talk
about
the
the
meeting
for
the
economic
development
meeting
the
information
session
for
this
park.
One
of
the
things
that
I
was
planning
on
doing
as
well
is
to
send
out
a
reminder
to
everybody
on
my
list
right
that
this
meeting
is
happening.
So
if
you
know
friends,
neighbors
family,
that
are
small,
independent
minority
contractors,
please
you
know
send
them
our
way
and
then
also
when
we
do
bid
the
when
we
bid
the
project
as
well.
B
U
K
B
B
U
Well,
they
do
that
at
all
construction
jobs-
I
don't
mean
like
that.
I
just
mean
that
they
are
going
to
say
we
have
in
the
contract-
that's
already
put
in
here
that
you
have
to
put
on
x
amount
of
people
who
live
in
the
community
because
we
live
there,
and
these
are
the
people
who
I
see
now-
who's
unemployed.
That
can
use
a
job,
and
I
think
they
should
be
able
to
come
on
that
job.
B
And
I
understand
that
and
again
I,
my
hands
are
tied
with
what
I'm
allowed
to
do
and
in
our
bids
we
have
in
there
the
boston
job
resident
policy,
which
has
the
percentage
of
boston
residents,
minority
and
women
that
are
required
to
be
on
a
job
site,
and
that
is
that
is
city
policy,
and
that
is
always
in
our
bids
and
our
contractors
are
required
to
meet
that
and
they
actually
have
to
turn
in
payroll
and
documentation
to
the
boston,
job
resident
policy
in
the
city
of
boston
every
week
and
every
time
I
get
a
an
invoice
from
a
contractor,
I
send
it
to
boston,
job
resident
policy
and
say:
did
they
meet
this?
B
Can
I
pay
it
and
they
tell
me
whether
I
can
or
not
so
there
are.
It
doesn't
necessarily
save
from
roxbury
right,
but
it
does
say,
city
of
boston
and.
U
B
U
Right
one
last
question,
and
and
that'll
be
it
for
me-
I
just
wanted
to
update
about
the
dog
park.
Is
it
a
final
decision
of
a
yes
or
no.
U
Okay,
one
more
question:
well,
the
dog
park
was
going
to
be.
This
is
not
going
to
be
one.
Could
we
put
the
outdoor
work,
fitness
stuff
equipment
in
that
area?.
B
U
M
U
I'm
sorry
everybody,
I'm
sorry.
I
did
miss
all
that,
because
I
did
take
a
tour
that
no
one
knew
about
with
a
couple
of
the
people
in
the
community
yesterday
and
we
was
kind
of
figuring
out.
There
was
a
design
where
they
was
gonna
have
to
work
out
equipment
next
to
the
tennis
court.
But
since
we
was
putting
the
bleachers
there
that
you
know
that
took
out
the
fitness
area,
so
I
was
just
wondering
where
he's
gonna
put
the
fitness
area
at
that's
all.
K
Okay,
can
I
say:
can
I
say
something
about
hiring
people
in
the
neighborhood
and
minorities?
I'm
a
retired
construction
worker.
You
also
gotta
have
a
skill
to
come
on
the
job.
You
just
can't
come
right
off
the
street
and
say
I
want
to.
I
want
a
job.
You
know
you
got
to
have
a
skill.
C
So
can
I
ask
one
last
thing:
I'm
sorry
just
around
reassessing
how
funds
are
going
to
be
allocated
like
you
all
can
tell
that
this
is
a
passionate
conversation.
Black
people
need
to
get
paid
and
make
money
off
of
this
project.
That's
what
I'm
talking
about.
Thank
you.
So
you
know
it
is
the
there's
the
we
know
you
need
to
be
a
preferred
vendor,
and
we
know
that
during
the
the
pandemic,
there's
been
an
effort
of
pulling
in
more
vendors
of
color
to
make
sure
we
can
bid
on
these.
B
I
completely
agree
and
hear
what
you're
saying,
and
I
think
that's
what
joshua
mcfadden
is
planning
to
help
with
and
try
to
help
us
in
that,
and
I
wish
you
were
able
to
join
us
tonight.
Unfortunately,
he
had
another
meeting
tonight
as
well.
It's
busy,
I
think
everyone's
meeting
out,
but
I
think
that,
hopefully,
when
we
are
able
to
do
the
information
session
on
this,
he's
going
to
be
able
to
tell
us
ways
that
we
can
accomplish
that.
B
B
We
can't
move
forward
with
adding
in
a
new
dog
park
without
emphatic
community
support,
including
a
dedicated
friends
group,
that's
willing
to
take
on
the
maintenance
of
the
dog
park,
and
we
did
have
several
community
members
who
were
emphatically
excited
about
a
dog
park.
But
we
had
equally
as
many,
if
not
more,
who
were
very
concerned
about
it.
B
And
so
that
was
why
the
decision
was
made
was
because
we
didn't
meet
the
threshold
of
having
a
a
an
emphatic
community
group
that
was
willing
to
take
on
the
maintenance
of
the
dog
park.
Good.
Q
But
you
know,
can
I
say
this
is
leah
christie
again,
and
I
had
thought
about
something
you
know
rather
that,
because
I,
when
you
did
that
survey
regarding
the
dog
park-
and
you
said
there
were
a
lot
of
people
from
the
garrison
trotter
area
that
were
very
interested
in
this
dog
park
and
my
thought
was
they
have
that
monroe
park,
which
is
much
closer
to
the
garrison
trotter
area
where
they
could
put,
I
mean,
and
that
park
is
not
used
as
much
as
malcolm
x
park.
Q
B
A
Thanks
lauren
and
I'm
going
to
be
pretty
quick
and
concise
here,
because
I
know
everyone
has
more
things
to
do
tonight.
A
We
have
an
ambitious
project
scope
here,
we're
really
trying
to
do
a
lot
of
space
and
as
we
develop
the
designs,
further
we're
going
to
get
a
better
and
better
understanding
of
the
details
of
how
much
things
are
going
to
cost,
and
we
want
to
get
an
understanding
of
of
the
elements
that
we
may
be
able
to
add
in.
If
we
find
that
we
have
enough
money
to
include
them.
You
know
there.
A
There
are
the
core
elements
that
we
know
we're
doing,
and
then
there
are
elements
that
are
kind
of
on
the
edge
things
that
you
know.
I
think
everyone
would
like
to
see,
but
we
may
not
have
the
the
funds
to
include
all
of
them,
so
we
wanted
to
get
some
input
from
from
the
community
tonight
on.
A
What's
the
most
important
and
obviously,
if
everything
goes
swimmingly
well,
we
can
get
all
of
them
in
we
will,
but
the
three
major
areas
that
are
are
really
kind
of
icing
on
the
design
or
extra
that
we
haven't
had
a
lot
of
direct
input
into,
but
we
want
to
to
get
that
feeling
from
include
the
the
natural
playground
area,
and
this
would
be
the
area
highlighted
in
that
key
plan.
A
Basically
at
the
top
of
the
hill,
between
the
two
to
five
and
five
to
twelve
play.
This
would
be
a
more
exploratory
area.
There
wouldn't
be
a
lot
of
moving
pieces
or
extremely
active
rotation
kind
of
play.
It
wouldn't
be
swings
and
because
of
the
maintenance
concerns
with
natural
wood
fiber.
This
would
also
be
rubber
play
surfacing,
but
it
would
have
a
more
natural
feel
so
we'd
be
including
something
like
a
log
play
structure,
a
toddler,
playhouse
log,
stilts
and
other
more
natural
elements,
as
kind
of
a
transition
between
the
two
play
spaces.
A
The
other
area
that
we're
looking
at
is,
as
I
mentioned,
before,
the
amphitheater
and
outdoor
classroom.
This
is
another
space
that
you
know
adds
a
component
and
activates
an
edge
between
the
higgins
and
lewis,
school
and
and
the
rest
of
the
park
create
a
classroom.
A
Space
could
create
a
bit
of
an
event
space
and
and
really
may
create
a
an
additional
focal
point
that
doesn't
exist
in
the
in
the
park
space
currently,
but
it
does
come
with
additional
costs
that
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
understand
the
the
value
versus
the
cost
for
it
from
you
and
finally,
just
the
the
number
and
amount
of
shade
shelters.
We've
heard.
P
A
Shade
is
extremely
important,
we're
not
ignoring
that,
but
the
cost
of
shade
shelters
as
a
physical
structure
are
extremely
expensive.
So
do
we
focus
on
the
natural
playground
area?
A
A
C
I
think
you
want
to
include
shade
where
you
know:
there's
going
to
be
people
foremost
right.
So
if
that
means
the
playground,
the
the
basketball
field,
you
know
the
basketball
court,
the
playground
like
absolutely
with
those
spaces
where
we
know
are
already
heavily
used
and
gonna
gonna
continue
to
increase
use.
I
I
I
think
that
is
a
should
be
a
priority
first
and
then
figuring
out
additional
spaces
to
create
shade.
I
mean
I
like
these
shade
covers
so
thinking
about
along.
A
Yeah
we've
heard
some
interest
from
from
both
teachers
and
children
in
that
space,
but
it
hasn't
been
a
more
as
a
classroom
than
as
an
amphitheater.
N
N
They
may
want
to
utilize
it
too,
but
the
shade
I
I
agree,
that's
gonna
be
the
number
one
thing,
especially
since
you
guys
keep
saying
that's
the
thing
that
most
people
are
requesting
so
like
shade
along
the
walk
areas
like
you
showing
in
that
middle
picture
and
then
shading
for
the
bleachers
like
you're,
showing
in
the
picture
on
the
right.
D
Right
now,
I
think
we
can
prioritize
those
spots
that
really
would
benefit
from
having
some
shade
and
they
tend
to
be
those
areas
where
lots
of
people
would
gather
and
where
there's
not
a
lot
of
shade
at
the
moment.
So
introducing
some
new
shade
in
some
of
these
heating
areas
and
adjacent
to
the
court
complex,
for
instance,
would
would
be
important
and
up
at
the
children's
playground
area.
D
P
I
mean
hi,
my
name
is
tony
roche,
I
teach
at
the
higgins
and
lewis
and
physique
and
health
teacher
there.
We
have
been
starting
to
use
our
outdoor
classroom
more
and
more
in
the
last
couple
years
and
obviously
with
pandemic,
even
though,
when
things
clear
up
you're
still
going
to
use
more
of
the
outdoor
space
that
space
you're
talking
about
now,
we've
been
using
it
for
recess,
and
you
know
having
our
seventh
and
eighth
grade
is
used
as
space.
P
So
looking
to
have
a
more
formalized
space
for
different
programs
will
definitely
be
helpful,
but
I
also
I
don't
want
to
see
the
same
thing
that
happens
in
the
parking
in
my
house.
Jeep
jones
park
with
the
appetite
down
below
doesn't
really
get
used.
That
often
so
you
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
usable
space
for
other
programs
not
just
for
the
school
but
for
the
community
as
well,
but
definitely
much
better
improvement
overall.
P
B
V
And
following
up
on
that
question,
I
agree
with
shaded
space,
for
where
there
are
the
majority
of
people
on
the
topic
of
the
amphitheater.
I
guess
I
wonder
if
there
would
be
any
limitations
or
criteria
for
community
members
who
are
not
educators
to
be
able
to
use
that
space.
What
would
what
would
be
the?
What
would
be
the
frameworks
for
people
outside
of
education
to
be
able
to
use
that
space
for
other
purposes,
if
any,
at
all,.
A
Lauren
correct
me:
if
I'm
wrong,
I
believe
that
this
would
be
an
un
scheduled
space
as
part
of
the
park
and
as
an
informal
space.
I
think
it
wouldn't
be
something
that
would
be
often
scheduled
out
for
uses
it'd
be
very
much
an
informal
space
for
anyone
to
use.
B
That
would
be
my
guess,
and
I
could
talk
to
our
permitting
department
to
see
if
they
typically
would
would
do
permits
for
things
so
that
if,
if
someone
wanted
to
be
able
to
reserve
it
whether
that
would
be
possible,
I
could
ask
that
question,
but
that's
the
type
of
space
that
we
could
see
like
someone
said
earlier,
the
school
using
the
community
center
using
it
could
be.
B
It
could
be
a
space
that
was
created
that
maybe
the
parks
department
could
do
some
of
the
events
that
they
have
in
terms
of
an
outdoor
movie
night
or
something
like
that
could
also
could
also
happen.
There.
G
Hi
good
evening,
my
name
is
ellis
and
I'm
a
resident,
and
I
live
like
right
around
the
corner
from
the
park,
and
I
believe
that
using
having
the
amphitheater
is
to
also
do
like
a
lot
of
different
cultural
events.
Rallies
and
things
like
that.
I
think,
having
that
space
there
and
having
available
to
the
community
would
be
very
beneficial
to
a
lot
of
people
as
well.
So
I
think
yes,
maybe
doing
reservations
or
a
calendar
or
a
schedule
that
may
help
alleviate
it
in
some
ways,
possibly.
N
Yeah
I
was
going
to
ask
about
that.
How
do
you
guys
reach
out
to
like
sports
teams
to
let
them
know
that
the
field
is
available
and
basketball
teams
to?
Let
them
know
that
the
basketball
court
is
available
like
how
do
people
know
that
they
can
utilize
these
spaces
and
then
my
second
question
is:
I
know
that
you
had
mentioned
that
parks
and
recreation
is
going
to
maintain
the
space.
Still
they
don't
maintain
it
very
well
now.
So
how
can
we
get
more
maintenance
for
it?
N
B
Sorry,
I
realized
I
was
still
muted,
so
yeah,
it's
a
great
question
and
it's
a
challenge
that
we
have.
Unfortunately,
we
don't
have
enough
maintenance
staff
in
the
parks
department
and
our
guys
do
absolutely
everything
they
can,
and
I
know
that
part
of
why
we
do
the
projects
that
we
do
in
addition
to
bringing
things
up
to
ada
standards,
making
things
have
more
play
value
and
also
just
making
things
more
state
of
the
art.
B
When
we
do
that,
when
we
make
these
changes,
it
makes
it
actually
easier
for
our
guys
to
maintain
it
as
well
and
not
guys
guys
and
gals
to
maintain
it
as
well,
and
so
that
right
now
is
part
of
how
we
can
help,
and
I
know
that
we're
going
through
transitions
there'll
be
transitions
with
the
mayoral
change
and
with
that
always
comes
opportunities
to
look
at
how
resources
are
allocated-
and
I
definitely
will
be
letting
our
maintenance
department
know
that
this
has
come
up
multiple
times
and
that
there's
concern
about
how
it's
being
maintained
now
and
also
how
it's
being
maintained
in
the
future.
M
You
know
lauren,
you
know,
I
know
that
you
know
because
of
this
clover
19,
you
know
a
lot
of
departments.
You
know
staff
have
been
affected
by
it.
You
know
so,
hopefully,
once
we
get
through
all
this,
you
know
that
staff
can
be
reinforced
where
the
manuscript
has
enough
staff
to
upkeep
the
epoxy
yeah.
They
need
to
upkeep
the
parks,
but
we
also
need
to
hold
the
folks
that
are
going
to
be
utilizing
these
parks,
the
the
organizations
that
are
going
to
hold
these
tournaments.
M
These
leads,
you
know
they
need
to
be
accountable
too,
for
in
these
parks
as
well,
because
not
only
are
they
gonna
be
using
them.
You
know
we
got
the
community,
the
families
that
want
to
use
them
too,
and
it's
only
fair
for
them
to
be
able
to
utilize
these
park
in
good,
fair
condition,
so
we
gotta
hold
everyone.
M
B
W
I
have
something
to
say
back
in
the
days
they
had
groups
of
community
people
that
would
take
care
of
things
like
that.
You
can't
the
recreation
can't
do
everything
there,
you
go
if
we
want
it.
That
means
we
as
a
group,
we
need
to
get
groups
together,
that'll
take
care
of
it.
Also
that's
right
and
that's
something
that
we
have
to
work
on
in
the
community
ownership.
W
E
We
talked
to,
we
talked
a
little
earlier
about
taking
that
pop
back,
so
to
speak,
and
I
think
there
needs
to
be
folk
in
the
community
who
are
really
interested
at
some
point
in
time
once
the
park
is
renovated,
that
we
as
a
community
need
to
be
able
to
educate
people
about
what
needs
to
happen
in
order
for
that
prop
to
stay
in
the
best
condition
possible,
and
that
is
the
vendors
who
sit
out
there
and
make
money
selling
their
goods.
B
So
I'm
going
to
with
that,
I
think
that's
a
really
important
comment
and
I'm
going
to
jump
back
into
the
presentation
really
quickly
and
just
want
to
say
there
was
a
comment
about
creating
a
friend's
friends
of
malcolm
x
park.
We're
always
happy
to
do
that
and
we
actually
have
someone.
B
Her
name
is
christine
brandeo.
She
used
to
be
over
at
office
of
neighborhood
services,
but
now
she's,
our
community
outreach
coordinator
and
the
person
who
coordinates
friends
groups.
So
if
anyone
is
interested
in
that,
please
feel
free
to
email
me,
because
we
can
absolutely
get
that
set
up,
and
I
apologize
for
running
over
tonight
but,
like
we
said
earlier,
there's
a
ton
of
information
and
a
ton
of
input
that
we
need
from
you
guys.
B
So
I'm
going
to
hand
it
back
over
to
mike
real
quick,
because
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
can
talk
through
the
histories,
which
I
know
people
have
brought
up
in
terms
of
making
sure
that
we're
acknowledging
malcolm
x
and
the
history.
Thank
you.
There
we
go
in
the
park
and
the
neighborhood.
We
also
want
to
talk
about
art,
which
also
has
been
brought
up
quite
a
bit
as
well.
So
I'm
going
to
pass
it
back
over
to
mike
real
quick.
A
Thanks
a
lot,
and
again
I've
talked
before
about
the
members
of
kind
of
an
informal
committee
that
we're
then
going
to
turn
into
a
consultant
position,
and
I
know
it's:
it's
not
the
level
that
we've
discussed
prior,
but
as
a
paid
consultant
position
to
develop
the
the
history
panels
as
a
direct
input
to
the
project.
A
What
we
need
right
now
is
a
little
more
input
on
what
kind
of
histories
we
want
to
talk
about,
so
we've
talked
with
derrick
evans,
rodnell,
collins
and
many
others,
and
we'll
continue
to
talk
with
them
over
the
next
two
months,
and
some
of
the
major
themes
that
have
come
out
include
the
list
that
you
see
here
includes
the
history
of
malcolm
x.
It
includes
the
history
of
the
civil
rights
movement
in
roxbury,
and
around
this
park
includes
geologic
history
of
the
park
and
its
surroundings
going
way
back.
Looking
at
you
know.
A
Why
is
this
such
a
rocky
amazing
outcrop
of
stone
in
the
middle
of
boston?
Why
is
it
still
here
today
when
everything
else
has
developed,
there's
also
the
multicultural
history
of
the
community
surrounding
the
park
over
time?
You
know
from
the
initial
settlers
and
the
pre-colonial
native
americans
to
the
changes
through
the
17
and
1800s
up
until
today.
A
A
Have
a
a
bit
of
a
moment
to
learn
a
little
more
and
think
what
else
might
have
happened
in
this
park
and
the
goal
will
be
to
to
get
people
even
more
interested
in
learning
more
than
what
we're
putting
in
there.
It's
a
it's
a
teaser
for
the
history,
not
not
getting
the
entire
history
of
the
park
on
boards
in
the
park
itself.
A
So
again
we're
going
to
try
to
keep
it
brief.
Maybe
two
or
three
minutes
of
your
thoughts
on
what
you'd
like
to
see.
Also
writing
it
in
the
comments
section
might
be
a
great
way
to
do
it
just
to
write
down
a
list
of
which
ones
you
like
other
thoughts
you
have
and
then
we'll
switch
to
the
the
last
major
component,
we'll
talk
about
which
will
be
the
art
art
component,
with
a
brief
rediscussion
of
the
the
bidding
process.
E
B
You
for
bringing
that
up.
We
should
make
sure
that
we
get
a
sign
that
that
has
that
on
it,
so
that
everyone
else
knows
that
too
miss
harris.
Thank
you.
E
B
I
agree
and
that's
one
thing
that
we
didn't
talk
about,
that
I'm
just
going
to
mention
really
quickly
things
like
signage
rules,
signs
park,
name
signs
that
sort
of
thing.
Those
are
all
standard
in
our
in
our
park
designs,
but
it's
not
something
we
usually
touch
on
in
these
meetings,
just
because
there's
so
many
other
things
also
things
like
trash
cans
benches.
B
All
of
those
are
things
that
will
be
part
of
this,
but
are
into
the
more
details,
whereas
we
were
just
trying
to
look
at
some
of
the
broader,
broader
ideas
right
now,.
V
I
think
that
I'm
asking
this
question
about
history
during
a
community
meeting
like
this,
especially
towards
the
end
when
we're
already
over
time,
is
a
half-hazard
way
of
gathering
that
information
there
are
there's
a.
There
are
a
wealth
of
elders
in
this
community
that
have
knowledge
of
the
history
of
the
neighborhood,
the
history
of
the
park.
There
are
numbers
of
us
who
are
historians,
ourselves
or
scholars
who
have
this
information,
and
it
seems
like
that
should
be
a
a
separate
meeting.
V
Comments
that
that's
gonna,
that's
gonna
happen
in
any
kind
of
notable
or
quality
way.
E
V
Also
would
mention
that
in
a
number
of
neighborhoods
across
the
country
where
gentrification
is
prevalent
as
it
is
in
roxbury
numbers
of
places
that
were
named
after
after
african-american
figures,
those
areas
are
being
changed,
which
leads
me
even
more
to
say
that
this
is
a
bigger
conversation,
because,
however,
we're
documenting
the
history
of
the
park
needs
to
be
done
in
such
a
way
that
changing
the
name
of
the
neighborhood
or
the
park
is
very
difficult
to
do.
Once.
The
history
of
that
area
is
documented.
M
Can
I
just
say
some
lauren
and
she
has
a
good
point,
and
I
think
that
you
know
just
a
suggestion
that
you
know
one
of
the
folks
that
are
on
this
zoo
meeting
right
here.
You
know
mrs
harris,
who
has
more
knowledge
of
the
history
of
roxbay
than
any
of
us,
and
I
think
that
that's
a
person
that
you
should
start
with
that
has
other
people
that
she
can
pull.
In.
That
know
the
history
of
roxbury.
E
B
So
that's
what
we
are
trying
to
do
and
we
have
been
talking
with
several
people
in
the
community
about
history
and
we're
not
by
any
means
trying
to
write
this
history
ourselves
or
document
this
history
ourselves,
and
if
there
are
people
in
addition
to
the
neighborhood
folks
that
we
have
already
been
talking
with
like
rodnell,
collins
and
derek
I'm
sorry.
I
cannot
remember
derek's
last
name
right
now
mike
can
you
mike
mike?
Yes,
thank
you,
derek
evans.
B
We
would
be
more
than
happy
to
add
to
that
list,
because
we
want
to
make
sure
this
is
right
and
by
no
means
was
this
supposed
to
be
left
towards
the
end
in
terms
of
running
late,
like
we
said
there
are
so
many
things
to
talk
about
here
and
we
wanted
to
give
people
opportunities
to
comment
earlier
in
the
presentation
as
well,
and
this
is
by
this
is
not
meant
to
be
pushed
towards
the
end,
so
I
would
love
to
have
if
anyone
wants
to
be
a
part
of
that,
I
would.
B
F
B
F
We
we
can
understand
that
that
would
that
would
be
understood
to
begin
with
and
along
those
lines.
When
should
we
expect
the
next
meeting
and
or
meetings
that
we
could
pick
up,
possibly
where
we're
leaving
off
from
now,
along
to
other
things
that
we've
discussed
tonight.
B
Yeah,
so
that's
a
great
question
too.
So
in
terms
of
our
community
outreach
process,
we
do
a
three
meeting
process
and
this
is
our
third
meeting.
So
what
we
do
from
here
is
we
go
back.
We
look
at
the
design.
We
make
any
changes
that
need
to
be
made
based
on
what
we've
talked
about
and
then
what
we
do
from
there
is.
We
typically
reach
out
via
email,
send
updated
plans,
send
updated
information
when
we're
planning
on
going
out
to
bid
any
changes
that
we've
made.
B
We
send
that
out
to
everyone,
who's
been
involved,
who's
come
to
meetings,
we
also
post
it
on
the
project
website
and
then
for
this
project.
We
will
have
an
additional
meeting
in
april
on
april,
8th,
which
is
going
to
be
the
information
session
for
bidding
which
we'll
be
talking
about
the
project
where
it
is
and
how
it's
moving
forward
from
there.
F
I
I
think
good
progress
has
been
made.
Obviously,
there's
some
things
folks
will
be
still
looking
for,
which
is
to
be
expected
and
along
those
lines.
Yep.
That
would
be
good
for
sure.
B
Okay,
wonderful-
and
I
also
want
to
make
sure
that
we
do
have
a
chance
to
talk
about
art
as
well,
because
I
know
that
that's
something
else
that
ties
a
lot
in
with
the
history
conversation
as
well,
so
I
do
want
to
make
sure
that
we
get
a
chance
to
chat
about
this
too.
Mike.
Do
you
want
to
jump
in
on
this.
A
Absolutely
so
you
know
we're
looking
to
create
spaces
to
include
public
art
on
the
site,
and
we've
been
in
discussion
with
the
boston
arts,
commission
and
sarah
rodrigo,
who
is
the
public
art
project
manager
and
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
her.
But
briefly,
you
know
we're
again
looking
for
more
input
as
we're
developing
core
areas
that
we
see
some
public
art
potentially
happening,
especially
around
the
fields
and
along
dale
street.
A
You
know
one
of
them
is:
are
there
certain
artists
you
would
like
to
see
represented
here
and
then
should
the
request
go
out
across
the
city
for
artists
in
the
city,
or
should
it
be
kept
focused
on
on
roxbury
artists
and
then
there
are
there
any
art
advisors
in
the
community
that
should
be
included
in
the
process
for
selecting
the
artists.
So
these
aren't
the
artists
themselves
but
advisors
to
the
process
in
selecting
the
artists.
X
I'm
sorry
about
that.
My
concern
more
than
anything,
is
that
the
meetings
that
we
have
are
just
informal
like
we
give
our
opinion
whoever's
in
the
meeting
and
then
you
know
they're
the
we're
not
really
in
on
the
decision.
We
just
give
our
opinion
and
so
depend
whatever
we
don't
bring
up
in
this
meeting
today,
won't
be
discussed
between
now
and
april.
You
know
what
I
mean,
and
so,
if
we
have
any
more
concerns
or
things
like
that,
they
have
they're
like
individual
things
of
the
community,
that
you
know
what
I
mean
like.
X
I
have
to
reach
out
to
you,
or
you
know,
miss
her
or
whoever
it
is
has
to
reach
out
individually,
and
so
as
a
community.
We
don't
we
we
kind
of
lose
track
of
you
know
what
things
have
been
said
and
what
things
haven't
been
said,
and
so
I'm
just
wondering
if
there's
no,
you
know
what
I
mean
like,
like
you
said
the
next
meeting,
I
I
guess
is
just
to
inform
us
of
what
decisions
you've
made
correct.
B
B
In
and
then
this
is
the
third
meeting
where
we're
presenting
the
the
design,
and
so
at
this
point
in
the
project,
if
there
are
concerns,
or
are
things
based
on
this
design,
that
people
have
concerns
about
or
want
to
see
differently.
This
is
the
time-
and
this
is
the
meeting
to
have
that
conversation.
X
B
We
can
definitely
continue
the
conversation
about
history,
but
it
won't
be
a
full
project
meeting
if
that
makes
sense,
and
if
anyone
would
like
to
be
a
part
of
those
meetings,
please
feel
free
to
add
your
name
or
email
address.
Even
if
it's
a
private
chat
to
myself.
That
would
be
wonderful,
because
we'd
love
to
have
as
many
people
involved
that
would
like
to
be
involved
in
that.
A
You
know
five
or
six
just
informal
conversation,
type
meetings
to
get
initial
ideas
and,
as
we
move
forward
to
design
development
and
construction
documents,
the
formalization
of
this,
the
entire
process
is
not
for
us
to
decide
what's
going
on
the
panels,
but
for
us
to
hire
somebody
as
a
consultant
to
tell
us
what's
going
to
go
on
these
panels,
so
just
to
clear
that
up
we're
looking
for
some
general
feedback
from
the
community
tonight
on
the
history
and
on
the
art,
we're
not
making
visions
on
this.
A
R
A
I
know,
and
I
have
them
as
a
consultant
that
helps
make
these
decisions
and
other
people
should
be
involved
as
well.
As
simone
said,.
R
Hi,
michael,
yes,
hi,
this
is
aisha.
How
are
you
who
who's
the
consultant
or
have
you
have
you
hired
one
yet
or
you're.
A
A
A
Absolutely
please
do
absolutely.
It's
been
an
amazingly
interesting
series
of
meetings
on
the
history
and
histories
here.
B
I
also,
I
also
want
to
point
out
that
earlier
in
a
chat,
and
I
don't
remember
whether
it
was
just
to
me
or
whether
it
was
in
the
public
chat.
Someone
was
saying
that
they
were
really
excited
to
see
that
we
were
working
and
communicating
with
members
of
the
community
and
that
they,
the
one
thing
that
they
had
pointed
out,
was
that
they
were
all
male,
and
so
I
did
want
to
acknowledge
that
and
to
also
let
you
know
that
when
we
just
said,
would
anyone
like
to
be
involved
with
this
history
section?
B
I
had
multiple
females
reach
out
and
say
that
they
would
like
to
be
involved.
So
I'm
trying
to
remember
who
it
was
that
had
said
that
earlier.
So
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
that,
because
it's
a
very
valid
comment
and
appreciate
that
we
now
have
some
females
that
we
can
add
into
that.
That
group
as
well.
B
Q
Q
B
And
then
what
we
do
from
here
is
we
take
this
and
we
do
all
of
the
detailed
drawings
to
show
how
to
build
it
and
what
each
of
the
little
details
are
so
we're
not
showing
in
these
drawings.
You
know
exactly
every
single
little
thing
in
the
playground,
every
bench
in
every
little
spot
that
things
go
so
all
of
those
things
get
added
in
as
we
move
through
the
through
the
designs.
But
this
is
the
concept
other
than
like.
We
talked
about
with
the
amphitheater,
the
nature
play
and
the
shade.
B
Those
are
things
that
we're
currently
looking
at
getting
input
from.
All
of
you
guys
and
we'll
be
looking
at
that
within
our
greater
overall
budget,
because,
like
mike
said,
there's
a
lot
going
in
here
and
seven
points.
B
Sorry,
7.7
million
is
a
lot
of
money,
but
when
it
comes
to
built
items
it
doesn't
go
as
far
as
everyone
thinks
it
goes,
and
so
we're
getting
a
lot
in
here
for
that
price.
But
we
can't
get
absolutely
everything.
So
those
are
the
three
things
that
our
potentials
to
be
in,
but
could
also
not
be
depending
on
as
we
go
through.
Those
drawings
and
get
a
little
bit
more
detailed,
but
that's
when
we
can
email
out,
we
can
let
people
know
these
are
the
things
that
we
know
we
can
get
in.
B
Q
B
Okay,
all
right
I
do.
I
do
want
to
also
make
sure
that
mike
we
didn't
get
sarah
on
here
yet
did
we.
A
All
right,
I
was
muted
sorry,
we
haven't
actually
pulled
sarah
on
yet
to
speak.
If
she
wanted
to.
B
I
I
do
I
do
want
to
get
sarah
involved
because
one
of
the
things
in
terms
of
the
art
and
it's
something
that
when
bernard
and
I
have
talked
about
art
offline-
quite
a
bit
about
some
of
the
interesting
things
that
could
happen
in
the
park.
We
talked
about
just
so
that
everybody
understands
when
we
talk
about
art
on
the
in
the
park
and
murals.
B
It's
something
that
because
it
is
in
sarah,
can
probably
explain
this
better,
but
because
it
is
art,
it
goes
through
the
arts,
commission
and
it's
actually
something
that
they
help
us
run
that
process
to
select
artists,
and
so
I
know
that
we
really
want
to
have
local
artists
in
the
to
be
able
to
work
on
this
project.
B
So
I
think
she's
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
process
so
that
everybody
understands
when
we
get
there,
and
I
think
part
of
what
we
want
to
hear
tonight
is
you
know:
are
there
local
artists
that
that
we
already
know
about?
I
know
that
bernard's
been
really
helpful.
Talking
with
me-
and
I
don't
know
if
it's
something
that
you
know
bernard
you'd-
be
interested
in
having
conversations
with
the
arts
commission
to
sort
of
try
to
help
us
figure
some
of
that
out
and
be
able
to
move
forward
with
it.
X
All
I
was
going
to
say
is
I
mean
you
know
I
just
want
to
say
like
I'm,
not
necessarily
like
the
artist,
you
know
what
I
mean.
I
just
happen
to
know
a
lot
of
artists
in
the
community
different
muralists.
You
know
what
I
mean
just
like
a
lot
of
other
people,
I'm
sure
who
are
on
the
call,
and
so
it's
just
one
of
those
things
where
I
do
a
lot
of
things
in
the
community.
X
As
far
as
art
going
and
I
feel
like
a
lot
of
times,
you
know
not
kind
of
just
what
you
were
speaking
to
people
the
the
this
the
process.
You
know
what
I
mean,
there's
people
from
the
community
who
want
to
be
a
part
of
it
and
then
there's
the
actual
process,
and
sometimes
the
two
just
don't
mesh
well
together,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
before
the
process
even
got
started.
Say
hey.
X
Y
Thanks
and
it's
nice
to
meet
you
and
thank
you,
everyone
for
your
incredible
generosity
of
time
being
here,
I'm
so
late.
They
saved
the
best
for
last
right.
We
could
talk
about
art,
really
quick,
so
I'm
sarah
rodrigo,
I
work
in
the
mayor's
office
of
arts
and
culture
and
I
staff
the
boston,
art
commission
as
well.
I'm
the
city's
public
art
project
manager,
which
means
I
run
all
of
the
commissioning
projects.
Y
So
when
the
city
commissions
an
artwork
for
any
city
property,
I'm
project
manage
that
process
from
putting
out
a
call
to
artists
to
finally
accepting
the
work
into
the
collection.
Y
So
I'm
mostly
here
to
listen
tonight
and
then
to
put
my
email
in
the
chat
so
that
we
can
have
further
conversations,
because
I
think
that
at
this
point,
artwork
in
the
park
probably
deserves
its
own
meeting
or
possibly
one
in
conjunction
in
some
ways
with
history,
because
I'm
also
sensing
their
themes
that
we
may
want
to
consider.
Y
Four
works
in
this
park,
obvious
malcolm
x,
being
a
very
kind
of
low-hanging
fruit
theme,
but
their
other
interests
in
the
community
in
terms
of
what
the
artworks
might
look
like.
Y
So
I'm
gonna
put
my
email
address
in
the
chat
right
now
and
I'd
like
to
encourage
everyone
to
reach
out
in
terms
of
interest
themes,
different
artists
that
you
know
in
the
community
as
well,
because
one
things
that
we're
trying
to
do
at
the
office
of
arts
and
culture
is
improve
our
outreach
and
improve
the
artist
that
we're
communicating
with
it's
something
we
work
really
hard
on
and
any
any
more
contacts
are
always
always
welcome,
and
especially
for
this
project.
Y
Getting
to
know
the
artists
in
the
immediate
area
who
may
be
interested
would
be
great,
and
I
did
see
in
the
chat.
I
want
to
acknowledge
the
roxbury
love
mural,
which
it
would
be
amazing
if
deem
five
were
interested
in
doing
a
project.
Here
we
are.
I
will
share
that.
We
are
working
on
contracting
him
for
a
project
at
the
roxbury
branch
in
nubian
square
right
now
and
he's
an
incredible
artist,
and
so
he
may
be
someone
that
that
we
can
reach
out
to
directly
as
well,
but
I'm
yeah.
Y
So
that's
just
my
little.
I
didn't
really
talk
a
lot
about
the
process
because
I
think
there's
a
couple
different
ways
that
that
we
do
projects
that
we
do
public
art
projects,
and
I
would
really
like
to
know
more
about
what
all
of
you
are
envisioning
for
artwork
at
this
site
to
understand
what
might
be
the
best
process
here.
X
My
only
question
would
be
so
I
built
the
adidas
box,
that's
now
sitting
at
the
park
on
the
basketball
court
and
it's
been
there
for
five
six
years
or
so,
and
I
didn't
ask
anybody's
permission
from
like
the
parks
department
or
anything.
I
just
felt
like
the
community
needed
something
you
know
we
use
it
to
put
the
grill
in
and
chairs
and
scoreboard,
and
things
like
that
during
different
tournaments,
and
so
it's
you
know.
Somebody
was
talking
earlier.
X
I've
mentioned
about
having
a
place
for
storage
and
things
like
that,
and
so
I
know
that
people
are
you
know.
Obviously
people
want
to
be
paid
for
their
work,
but
there
are
some
of
us.
That'll
also
do
some
of
the
work
for
free
and
I'm
wondering
what
the
balance
is
between
like
what
things
we
can
put
money
into,
that
you
know
p
because,
like
everything
costs
so
whether
it's
we
want
more
plaques
and
things
that
represent,
you
know
history
in
the
community
and
things
like
that.
Y
Y
If
I
can
remember
it
correctly,
and
someone
will
will
yell
at
me
tomorrow
for
misremembering
it.
But
I
think
this
is
that
at
arts
in
boston-
I'm
pretty
sure,
so
you
can
connect
with
us
that
way
as
well,
and
you
can
email
me
and
I
can
connect
you
to
julia.
Y
So
in
terms
of
you
know,
there's
this
big
permanent,
long-term
public
art
process,
which
is
can
be
a
little
bit
intimidating.
It
goes
back
to
I
want
to
say
it
goes
back
to
what
lauren
was
saying,
we're
we're
held
under
that
30
that
procurement
law
from
the
state
and
all
of
that,
all
that
kind
of
administrative
stuff.
But
there
are
other
options
for
funding
public
art
and
there
are
other
options
available
through
the
office
of
arts
and
culture.
There
are
different
grants
and,
and
things
of
that
nature.
Y
Thank
you,
michael
for
adding
that
in
so
yeah
I
mean,
I
don't
think
anybody
wants
to
tell
you
not
to
make
art
for
sure
like
we
want
to
support
art
like
let's
make
more
art,
let's
get
more
art
into
the
park.
You
know,
however,
we
can
do
it.
B
The
mike
I
just
want
to,
we
still
have
one
more
slide,
I
think,
with
the
development
information
from
joshua
mcfadden.
Thank
you.
So
this
is
the
information
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
got
this
to
you,
because
I
know
that
we
have
already
encroached
terribly
on
people's
times,
but
I
also
really
appreciate
everybody
spending
this
time
again.
It
really
shows
how
much
this
park
means
to
everyone,
and
I
appreciate
you
allowing
us
to
take
a
bit
more
of
your
time
tonight.
B
B
Would
you
guys
prefer
a
3,
30
meeting
or
a
six
o'clock
meeting?
So
if
people
have
a
preference
and
want
to
put
that
in
the
chat,
that
would
be
wonderful
for
us
to
help
him
plan
that
and
again
we
will
be
emailing
out
a
reminder
about
this
and
links
to
the
session
ooh
overwhelming
6
p.m.
B
Thank
you
guys
all
for
putting
that
in
there,
but
again
want
to
just
make
sure
that
you
guys
know
that
that
we
are
that
we
are
doing
this
and
we're
trying
to
make
sure
that
we
get
the
word
out
and
we'll
hopefully
be
able
to
do
that
more
with
you
all
on
our
team.
For
this
and
again,
thank
you
all
for
your
time
tonight.
If
there's
anything,
we
didn't
cover
tonight
anything
that
you
have
questions
about
thoughts
that
you
have
over
the
coming
days.
B
I
put
my
email
address
in
the
chat
again,
please
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
me
within
a
week
we're
going
to
try
to
get
this
we're
going
to
get
this
presentation
as
well
as
meeting
minutes
and
notes
from
the
presentation
and
the
video
of
the
presentation
onto
our
website
for
the
project,
and
we
will
so
if
you
want
to
be
able
to
go
back
and
look
at
it
if
you
want
to
show
it
to
any
friends
or
neighbors
that
haven't
been
able
to
make
it
tonight.
B
L
B
No,
no,
that's,
okay!
We!
We
certainly
know
how
it
is
so
just
to
reiterate
that
I
don't
know
mike
if
we
could
hop
back
to
that
slide
for
anyone
else,
who's
interested.
B
So
right
now
we
are
still
finalizing
all
the
details
and
those
details
are
really
going
to
tell
us
how
long
we
think
it's
going
to
take
to
build
the
project
once
we
know
for
sure
all
of
those
details,
but
we're
hoping
to
start
this
summer,
we're
going
to
try
to
build
in
we're
going
to
try
to
bid
sorry
in
spring
of
this
year,
start
construction,
probably
early
summer
of
2021,
and
we
think
it
could
be
almost
a
year
of
construction.
B
It's
a
lot
of
work.
A
lot
of
courts
field
work,
the
playgrounds,
it's
just
a
really
big
scope,
so
we're
anticipating,
probably
spring
of
2022,
that
we
will
be
opening
the
park.
G
B
T
R
R
U
U
B
U
O
U
I
think
he
discussed
with
you
before
the
zoo
meeting,
so
he
just
wanted
to
know
if
he
could
have
some
kind
of
logo
of
what
the
history
he
had
of
starting
basketball
leagues
up
there.
B
I
think
that's
a
great
idea:
we've
been
talking
to
him
a
lot
about
the
the
courts
in
general,
so
we'll
make
sure
we
reach
out
to
him
specifically
about
that.
B
Yes,
yep,
that's
one
of
the
things
we're
looking
at
as
a
as
a
potential
for
sure.
B
Yes,
it
will
be
posted
on
the
website
louis
after
probably
within
the
week,
we
have
to
get
it
formatted,
but
it'll
be
posted
on
our
website,
both
the
presentation
and
the
video
of
it.
I
do
so.
If
let
me-
and
also
I
was
just
actually
typing,
you
back,
the
project
will
be
publicly
bid,
so
it
will
be.
B
Let
me
see
I'm
getting
putting
the
link
to
the
project
website
in
there
again
louis,
so
that
you
have
it
to
be
able
to
look
for
that
presentation
and
the
project
will
be
publicly
bid,
so
we'll
be
awarding
it
to
the
lowest
responsive
and
responsible
bidder
per
state
bid
laws.
But
I
don't
know
when
you
were
able
to
join
but
we're
working
with
the
mayor's
office
of
economic
development
and
joshua
mcfadden
and
we're
doing
where
I
feel
like
I'm,
losing
my
voice
at
the
end
of
tonight.
B
We're
doing
an
information
session
with
him
specifically
about
the
malcolm
x
project,
so
that
we
can
make
sure
that
some
of
the
minority
and
small
business
contractors
that
he's
working
with
know
about
the
project
know
how
to
try
to
become
either
a
gc
or
a
sub.
On
one
of
these
projects,
but
we're
going
to
be
specifically
talking
about
malcolm
x
and
trying
to
help
get
that
word
out
prior
to
bidding.
K
B
You
can
absolutely
do
that
and
absolutely
send
them
our
way.
That
being
said,
the
contractors
will
need
to
bid
on
the
project
or
become
part
of
a
or
become
a
sub
to
a
general
contractor
who
is
bidding
on
the
project
because
it
does
have
to
go
through
state
bid
laws,
because
we
are
required
to
do
that.
But
if
you
know
of
contractors
we
would
love
to
have
that
information
and
to
have
you
help
us
get
information
to
those
contractors
for
how
to
either
be
gc's
or
subs.
K
Okay,
so
the
the
rfq
rfq
goes
out
or
the
ifp
goes
out.
First.
B
B
B
B
B
But
it
also
does
have
all
of
the
boston
job
resident
policies
incorporated
into
that.
