A
Good
evening
everybody,
my
name
is
annie
blair
and
I'm
the
project
manager
with
boston
parks
and
recreation
for
the
improvements
to
titus
sparrow
park.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
all
for
giving
us
your
time
this
evening.
It's
really
great
to
have
you
participate,
and
we
appreciate
you're
giving
up
some
of
your
evening,
and
I
also
want
to
thank
the
friends
of
titus
sparrow
park
because
of
their
support
and
participation
and
organization
over
the
years.
A
I
believe
that
steve
sloan
who's,
the
president
of
the
friends,
is
going
to
be
joining
us,
and
I
know
that
the
organization
would
very
much
appreciate
having
some
new
members
as
well
as
their
well-established
members.
It's
a
great
way
to
get
to
know
your
community
and
participate
in
the
park
so
steve.
If
you
wouldn't
mind
during
the
chat
at
some
point,
if
you
could
provide
the
address
for
the
website
for
their
friends,
so
that
if
anybody
wants
to
reach
out
and
find
out
about
joining,
they
can
do
that.
That
would
be
terrific.
A
So
what
we're
going
to
do
tonight
is
the
purpose
is
really
for
listening
to
the
community,
about
what
you
all
see
as
the
opportunities
and
challenges
and
what
your
priorities
are
and
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
later
in
the
presentation
about
the
sequence
of
meetings.
But
we
have
not
come
up
with
any
solutions.
We
just
want
to
hear
from
you
what
it
is
that
you
all
want.
A
So,
let's
move
to
the
next
please!
So
we
have
our
first
community
meeting
tonight.
We
have
three
in
total
we'd,
like
the
second
one
sometime
in
june
early
june,
actually
might
turn
out
to
be
too
early,
but
we
want
to
get
that
done
before
people
start
to
scatter
for
the
summertime
and
at
that
second
meeting
we'll
be
showing
design
alternatives
for
comparison
and
analysis
and
then
we'll
reconvene
in
september
for
the
third
meeting.
A
That
will
show
a
preferred
design
and
that
may
be
a
combination
of
features
and
elements
from
the
alternatives
that
were
presented
at
the
second
meeting
and
then
autumn
to
winter
of
this
year
will
be
putting
together
the
construction
bid
documents
and
put
it
out
to
bid.
We
typically
like
to
bid
in
the
winter
time,
because
prices
are
better
than
as
contractors
look
out
their
window
at
their
equipment,
standing
idle
and
then
construction
next
spring
and
summer.
A
A
And
what
we'll
do
is
we'll
take
you
through
the
presentation
and
then,
if
you're
joining
via
the
web,
you
can
use
your
hand
or
raise
your
hand
during
the
question
and
answer
or
use
the
q
a
feature
to
answer
your
questions
throughout
the
presentation.
A
So
the
agenda
for
tonight
are
the
introductions
which
I'll
take
you
through
and
then
existing
conditions
and
the
project
overview
from
overview
from
our
design,
consultants,
halverson
and
we're
really
fortunate
that
they're
the
design
consultants
for
this
project,
because
they
did
the
design
for
the
renovation
in
2003
and
we're
fortunate
to
have
rob
adams
with
us.
Who
was
the
project
lead
at
that
time?
A
He
lived
in
the
south
end
for
a
long
time
and
has
been
involved
with
the
park
for
for
a
number
of
years
and
then
we'll
end
with
community
feedback.
Community
discussion,
listening
and
feedback.
A
We
have
christine
brandeo
who's,
the
outreach
coordinator
for
boston
parks,
who
is
hosting
the
meeting
and
then
the
design
team
from
halberson's
is
bob
eulegg
who's
advising
rob
adams,
as
I
mentioned,
jonathan
cave
joe
percikino
and
nathaniel,
whose
last
name
escapes
me
but
they're
from
tyenbond
and
tyne
bond
and
halverson's
are
now
joined
under
the
same
company
roof.
So
that's
a
great
range
of
skills
and
experience
to
bring
to
the
project.
A
So
we'll
talk
about
throughout
the
project,
we'll
talk
about
the
city
of
boston
priorities,
safety
guidelines
and
regulatory
guidelines
such
as
the
americans
with
disabilities
act
park
and
recreation
goals
and
community
input,
and
try
to
find
a
happy
ground
that
incorporates
all
of
that.
Next,
please.
A
So
the
city's
priorities
are
accessibility
and
inclusive
inclusivity
for
people
of
all
ages
and
abilities,
expanding
walking,
access
to
parks,
equity,
health
and
community
building,
and
I
think,
until
the
pandemic,
we
had
defined
health
in
a
more
narrow
way,
but
I
think
the
co
one
good
thing
to
come
out
of
covid
is
that
we're
thinking
about
health
in
broader
terms.
B
Great
thanks
annie
just
to
reiterate
what
annie
said
my
name's
rob
adams
principal
at
halverson
time
bond.
I
was
a
long
time
south
end
resident
and
have
recently
moved
to
green
or
northern
pastures
up
here
in
portland,
but
my
heart
is
still
on
the
south
end
and
with
titus
sparrow
on
a
lot
of
levels.
So
it's
good
to
be
back.
I'm
sorry
we're
not
in
public,
but
I'm.
I
know
many
of
you
and
so
I'm
looking
forward
to
this
process
and
and
this
project
a
couple
things
on
tonight.
B
I'll
say
three
things.
I'll
probably
add
one
more,
but
let's
say
three
like
first,
this
is
really
about
a
listening
session.
We
don't
have
any
preconceived
ideas
per
se
yet
and
we
haven't
shared
any
of
the
or
shared
any
of
those
tonight's
really
about
hearing
from.
For
me,
the
community
open
spaces
public
realm
that
has
a
grassroots
kind
of
neighborhood
ownership.
B
Involvement
are
much
more
successful
and
I
think
titus
has
been
a
real
testimony
to
that
over
its
course
titus
ferro
park
over
the
course
of
its
time.
Secondly,
I'll
be
brief.
Again,
we're
going
to
try
to
get
through
a
little
bit
of
background
and
then
really
open
it
up
to
community.
So
the
kind
of
chad
and
ray's
hand
function
will
be
crucial
at
the
end
of
this
and
then.
B
Lastly,
I
think,
although
we
don't
have
any
preconceived
ideas,
I
think
we
can
honestly
say
that
there's
a
lot
of
really
good
about
titus
sparrow
we're
not
looking
at
changing
titus
from
the
park
that
it
is
it's
really
a
community-based
park
that
serves
a
lot
of
functions.
A
lot
of
programs
really
well
we're
just
trying
to
make
it
better
to
repair
some
of
the
damage.
B
That's
happened
since
2003,
it's
hard
to
believe
it's
been
18
years,
but
also,
maybe
to
pivot
a
little
bit
to
some
of
the
recent
to
some
of
the
contextual
changes
and
programmatic
changes
that
people
have
asked
for
and
are
desiring
as
the
park
moves
forward
into
the
next
18
years
before
the
next
renovation.
So
with
that,
we'll
get
into
a
little
bit
of
background
and
then
again
look
forward
to
hearing
from
you
and
I'm
sorry
that
this
isn't
a
person
right.
B
We
would
be
sitting
around
with
a
roll
of
trace
paper
and
some
markers
and
spray
paint
and
tacks
and
pinning
our
ideas
and
hopes
and
dreams
up.
So
we'll
do
that
virtually
tonight.
Hopefully,
in
the
near
future,
we
can
have
the
meetings
in
person,
so
titus
sparrow
just
for
those
to
orient
everybody.
B
B
You
know
some
really
good
edges
the
fact
that
southwest
corridor
and
dc
and
titus
sparrow
are
kind
of
blurred.
Together,
I
think,
is
a
real
positive.
So
project
site
is
essentially,
you
know
the
back
of
the
church
back
a
sidewalk
property
line
with
dcr
and
then
the
tennis
courts
over
on
the
left
side
and
then
the
public
realm
of
of
west
west
rutland
square,
just
some
real,
quick
existing
photographs
and
some
commentary
right.
B
The
playground
has
two
age
groups
with
the
sandbox
in
the
middle
there's
been
a
fair
amount
of
wear
and
tear
on
the
playground
over
the
course
of
the
years.
I
know
the
sandbox
is
always
a
little
bit
of
a
love
it
or
hate
it
amenity,
and
so
I'm
sure
we'll
talk
about
that
tonight
and
you
know
the
surfacing
the
edge
conditions
to
the
church,
some
of
the
uses
desired
or
not
desired
that
are
occurring
around
the
playground.
B
We
can
talk
about
as
well
and
then
some
of
the
accessibility
issues
existing
there's
the
long
sloping
path
you
know
from
the
from
the
prudential
so
to
speak
down
through
the
park,
there's
a
overly
steep
accessible
ramp.
That's
a
generous
term
down
to
the
basketball
court
series
of
stairs
just
keeping
in
mind,
accessibility
and
the
need
for
equal
opportunities,
storm
water
drainage.
Clearly
the
lawn
gets
a
lot
of
use
gets
a
lot
of
compaction.
B
You
know
I
was
on
the
board
of
the
friends
group
and
that
was
always
kind
of
one
of
the
mission.
Critical
goals
was
to
get
better
stand
of
lawn
there
and,
unfortunately,
there's
a
cyclical
nature
of
lawn
areas,
getting
wet
people
using
lawn
areas,
soil
getting
compacted
and
poor
drainage,
water,
standing
right,
higher
compaction,
and
so
this
project,
hopefully,
will
give
us
a
chance
to
break
that
cycle
and
and
to
get
some
better
standalone
and
some
of
the
site
furnishings
are
pretty
dated.
B
So
hopefully
we
have
an
opportunity
to
improve
those,
but
a
good
amount
of
the
programs
there.
I
think
you
know
just
improving
the
the
facilities
and
then
the
usage
program,
so
to
speak
of
the
site.
I
think
there's
been
a
lot
of
talk,
at
least
when
I
was
there
about
the
value
and
the
use
of
the
community
gardens.
B
There
seems
to
be,
you
know,
a
sunnier
one
and
a
shadier
one,
and
then
the
actions
and
uses
of
the
big
central
lawn,
as
well
as
some
of
the
kind
of
secondary
lawns,
the
triangle
green
behind
the
brick
wall
and
then
there's
this
another
kind
of
the
pine
tree
knoll
on
the
other
side
and
then
the
uses
of
the
the
basketball
court
in
the
in
the
tennis
court.
All
these
functions,
you
know,
I
think,
will
remain
again
just
finding
the
best
and
highest
use
for
a
lot
of
spaces.
C
B
The
play
space
down
to
the
plan
left
and
then
the
big
open,
green
and
I'll
say
what,
from
a
designer's
point
of
view
and
and
it
plays
out
in
real
life,
is
the
park?
Does
a
really
good
job
of
kind
of
dividing
itself
kind
of
elegantly
into
the
two
zones
of
active
play,
the
big
lawn
being
the
kind
of
lungs
of
the
space
and
then
the
circulation
dividing
it
into
the
four
quadrants
there's
a
real
kind
of
simplicity
and
a
real
elegance.
B
I
think
to
the
way
titus
is
laid
out,
and
so
I'll
say
you
know
not
saying
no
preconceived
ideas,
but
I
think
everyone
really
enjoys
and
appreciates
the
current
layout
of
titus.
You
know
landscape.
We
talked
a
little
bit
about
the
sec,
two
secondary
lawns
and
the
main
central
lawn,
a
lot
of
conversations
about
edges
and
making
sure
there's
porosity
and
so
hopefully
having
a
lot
of
conversation
about
that
as
well.
Tonight,
accessibility
touched
on
briefly
right.
B
Really,
the
basketball
court
and
the
tennis
courts
currently
have
limited
accessibility
and
making
sure
we
incorporate
better
accessibility
to
those
and
then
there's
a
series
of
kind
of
outstanding
features
within
the
park.
The
masonry
walls
were
introduced
in
2003,
the
granite
masonry
walls,
there's
the
existing
brick
wall
that
runs
along
west
newton.
At
one
point
we
had
talked
about
giving
some
more
visual
porosity
to
that,
and
that's,
I
think,
a
point
of
conversation,
hopefully
that
we
can
have
as
well
tonight
and
then
sight
furnishings.
B
We
touched
on
briefly
right:
there's
drinking
fountains
and
a
signage
kiosk
and
pole
mounted
fixtures
and
athletic
lighting
around
the
tennis
courts
and
a
series
of
different
types
of
seating
elements
wooden
benches,
as
well
as
the
kind
of
precast
concrete.
C
B
So,
as
I
said,
you
know
again,
no
real,
preconceived
ideas
tonight
is
to
listen
to
you
about
hopes
and
dreams
and
fears,
but
I
think
you
know
some
of
the
if
we,
if
we
run
it
through
the
flux,
capacitor
of
of
parks
and
recs
program
and
mission
right,
this
idea
of
providing
seating
and
elements
that
are
multi-generational
from
young
to
old,
making
sure
we
accommodate
all
age
groups
right,
democratic,
looking
at
the
play
surfacing
and
other
surfacings
that
are
tired
and
need
improvements.
B
Kind
of
low
hanging
fruit
so
to
speak
around
simple
improvements
and
then
finding
a
way
to
to
weave
in
a
little
bit
of
hopefully
a
little
bit
of
poetry
and
and
storytelling
with
that,
so
that
was
a
little
bit
of
a
fire
hose
of
information.
You
know,
I
think,
as
we
move
forward
tonight,
if
you
want
to
kind
of
in
your
mind,
think
about
you
know:
what's
the
favorite
part
of
the
park
for
you,
what's
the
what's
the
perfect
day
been
for
you
in
the
park?
B
What's
something
that
you
don't
think
we
know
we
know
about
the
park?
What
activities
would
you
like
to
see
in
the
park?
What
activities
would
you
not
like
to
see
in
the
park?
What
events
occur
there
that
we
haven't
talked
about
or
may
not
be
well
known?
B
Just
general
improvements
are
on
your
wish
list,
and
then
how
do
you
use
the
park
on
a
daily
basis,
and
so
titus
is
a
very
personal
space
for
I'll
say.
A
lot
of
us
include
myself
still
in
the
us,
and
so
I
think,
we're
really
interested
to
hear
from
everybody.
B
D
If
everyone,
whoever
would
like
to
speak,
if
you
just
raise
your
hand
I'll
unmute,
you
or
you
can
put
in
the
q
a
and
then
someone
will
answer
them.
C
Oh
great
hi,
can
you
hear
me
yeah?
Okay,
great
hi,
my
name
is
megan
aiken
I
live
in
the
south
end.
I
primarily
use
the
park
with
my
young
son,
who
is
two
and
all
of
our
friends
in
the
neighborhood.
You
know
similarly
use
the
park
for
the
play
space.
We
also
participate
in
music
classes
and
soccer
classes
that
are
also
held
in
the
park.
C
C
A
We
can
certainly
look
at
that.
I
think
there
are
pros
and
cons
of
fencing
play
areas.
You
know
safety
is
always
first
for
us,
but
also
offense
doesn't
mean
anything
if
the
gate's
left
open.
C
A
And
also
it's
very
hard
to
find
a
self-closing
gate
that
works
well
and
consistently,
and
then
there's
the
visual
impact
as
well,
that
it
can
sort
of
you
know,
cut
the
park
up
into
various
zones,
and
I
think
part
of
what's
so.
Special
about
this
park
is
as
rob
was
saying.
The
organization
of
the
various
sounds,
but
also
that
it
nevertheless
reads
as
a
place
where
the
whole
is
bigger
than
the
sum
of
parts.
A
E
A
F
B
You
know
megan,
you
preface
by
saying:
have
we
thought?
Are
we
thinking
about
it
or
will
we
like?
If
you
raise
the
point
we
will
think
about
it?
You
know
tonight
is
not
about
again
this
notion
of
preconceived
whatever
comments,
we're
happy
to
consider
and
and
taken
into
account.
So,
yes,
we
will.
C
Yeah-
and
I
mean
I
definitely
hear
you
know
your
point-
around
aesthetics
and
functionality-
you
know
there
are
a
number
of
parks
in
the
city
that
do
utilize
fences,
and
you
know,
thinking
about
the
park
holistically
is
obviously
very
important.
It's
just
you
know
it's
a
balance.
I
think
for
a
lot
of
people
who
have
young
children
of
it's
just
especially
on
west
newton
street.
It's
extremely
busy
with
traffic
and
cars
drive
really
fast.
C
So
just
something,
I
think,
would
be
a
huge
consideration
for
me
is
sort
of
figuring
out
a
way.
Maybe
it's
not
a
fence
around
all
four
four
sides
of
the
park
right?
Maybe
it's
just
sort
of
addressing
higher
traffic
areas
right.
B
G
Hi,
I'm
I,
this
is
marlene
house
and
rob
collaborator
on
parks
and
other
stuff
great
to
see
you.
I
I
had
hoped
to
wait
until
everyone
else's
questions
was
asked,
but
you
know
this
is
titus
sparrow
park.
G
I
would
love
to
see
a
statue
of
titus
sparrow
or
certainly
a
more
expensive
description
of
who
this
very
unusual
man
was.
He
was
decades
ahead
of
his
time
in
terms
of
caring
for
the
community
that
he
lived
in.
He
drove
her
out
in
an
old
station
wagon
filled
with
tennis
rackets
in
the
back
and
tennis
balls,
but
also
trash
bags.
He
picked
up
trash
everywhere
and
he
would
tell
people
take
care
of
your
neighborhood.
G
It
was
the
first
black
umpire
in
the
you
know
at
the
u.s
open
I
mean
this
is
truly
a
remarkable
person
and
all
we
have
is
a
little
plaque
that
you
know.
If
you
really
are
standing
there
still
looking
for
something
to
notice,
you
can
see
it.
It
is
not
noticeable
and
I
would
love
to
see
that
included
somehow
in
the
park,
and
the
other
thing
is
that
that
brick
wall
at
one
point
was
part
of
a
home
for
unwed
mothers.
G
I
don't
know
if
you
know
anything
about
the
history
of
unwed
mothers
in
the
united
states,
but
in
the
1950s
before
contraception,
and
when
our
moors
kind
of
changed
to
you
know
be
much
more
open
in
terms
of
our
sexual
relationships.
G
Women
or
young
girls
got
pregnant
and
the
boys
went
off
on
their
path
for
the
most
part,
and
these
girls
were
often
centuries
on
wed
home
homes
for
unread
mothers,
and
you
know
once
you're
a
parent
and
you
think
about
what
it
would
be
like
to
give
up
your
child
and
not
only
that,
but
also
the
you
know,
being
cast
out
of
the
community
that
you
grew
up
with,
including
often
your
parents
they're
excellent
books,
written
as
memoirs
by
some
of
these
women,
so
that
brick
wall
also
has
a
history.
G
I
think,
because
the
south
end
is
a
historic
district,
it
would
be
really
nice
to
see
those
part
of
me.
Those
two
aspects
of
the
history
of
that
sparrow
park
strengthen
so
that
people
understand
what
came
what
what
took
place
on
that
location
and
who
made
the
park
happen.
Of
course,
it's
not
from
one
person,
it's
always
a
large
group
of
people,
and
you
know
there's
another
history
involving
the
the
raising
of
the
community's
infrastructure
to
make
way
for
a
highway.
G
That
was,
of
course
defeated
fortunately,
but,
and
that
should
be-
maybe
that
should
also
be
part
of
it.
I
would
like
to
have
an
emphasis
in
that
park
on
the
history
of
that
park.
B
Yeah,
I
think,
marlene,
that's
a
really
good
point.
There's
I
remember
ann
talking
about
the
brick
wall
you
and
ann
and
kathy
and
others
right
and
the
importance
of
that
brick
wall
and
and
to
be
honest
for
very
low
dollars
in
the
world.
B
This
narrative,
the
storytelling
the
that
extra
layer
of
information,
I
think,
can
be
really
powerful
and
meaningful
and
not
have
carry
a
big
dollar
amount.
So
I
think
that's
when
I
said
the
poetry
that
we're
hoping
to
weave
into
the
park.
I
think
there's
definitely
some
of
that
storytelling
that
that
we
didn't
do
in
2003
that
there's
a
real
potential
to
do
now.
B
G
G
D
I'm
gonna
jump
to
the
q,
a
real
quick
for
a
couple
of
the
questions
charles
asks.
Can
we
submit
comments
and
suggestions
online.
A
Yeah
and
I'd
say
anybody
who
emails
me
with
the
comments,
I'm
glad
to
share
with
the
halverson
tayan
bond
team
and
we
actually
got
a
very
thoughtful
email
from
nancy
price,
and
I
shared
that
with
the
team
right
away.
So
that
was
that
was
that
was
very
helpful.
D
A
Yeah,
I
totally
understand
that,
and
I
know
that
when
my
daughter
was
a
toddler
everything
went
in
her
mouth,
so
I
think
that
there
are
things
that
we
can
do.
I
know
that
dogs
are
supposed
to
be
on
leash
there.
I
know
that
there's
a
certain
amount
of
signage-
and
this
is
a
problem
throughout
the
city,
but
we'll
definitely
look
at
ways
to
make
that
make
that
better,
and
maybe
what
that
is
is
providing
more
opportunities
for
a
variety
of
site
furniture.
So
people
aren't
are
less
inclined
to
sit
on
the
ground.
B
Yeah-
and
I
would
ask
the
friend
you
know
I
I
don't
I'm
not
in
the
south
end
as
a
year
and
a
half
ago,
but
when
I
was
there,
it
was
pretty
good
like
it.
It
comes
in
waves
right,
there's,
usually
a
few
offenders,
their
dogs
unleash
on
the
lawn
and
then
either
people
call
9-1-1
or
there's
more
kind
of
been.
I
don't
know,
people
are
getting
a
lot.
Dogs
aren't
on
the
lawn,
and
people
are
moving
down
to
carlton
court,
and
so
I'm
curious
is
it
at
a?
B
Is
it
a
high
point
right
now
of
dogs
on
the
lawn,
or
is
it
just
a
constant
kind
of
always
dogs
on
the
lawn
and
we'll
we'll
have
to?
You
know
make
sure
that
those
dog
facilities
that
are
available
are
being
used
and,
as
annie
said,
make
sure
that
there's
signage
and
enforcement
to
keep
dogs
on
leash
in
titus.
D
Thank
you
and
then
stephen
asked.
I
understand,
there's
a
way
to
reinforce
grass
for
heavy
use
with
a
plastic
structure
under
the
soil.
Is
this
or
another
method
a
possibility
to
include
in
the
renovation?
The
grassy
area
is
very
well
used
at
the
park.
B
We
recently
redid
the
lawn
at
the
hat
shell.
Recently,
it's
probably
five
years
now,
four
years
now
and
I'll
say,
we've
all
learned
a
lot
in
the
last
two
decades
about
soil,
engineering,
drainage,
etc,
and
so
half
of
it
is
going
to
be
the
design
of.
Hopefully,
the
new
lawn
section
we
put
in
making
sure
there's
proper
drainage,
making
sure
it's
the
right
soil.
B
The
other
part,
is
maintenance
or
monitoring,
making
sure
that
there's
a
a
program,
and
maybe
that's
part
that
the
friends
can
bring
of
a
yearly
maintenance
program
to
help
aerate
reinvigorate
et
cetera.
And
so
I
I
don't
know
that
the
plastic
rings
are
the
right
solution.
They
tend
to
be
a
heat
bank,
thermal
mass,
and
so
while
they
do
provide
some
structure,
they
also
do
provide
some
detriment
to
the
lawn
and
and
that
it
builds
a
lot
of
thermal
mass
and
ultimately
kills
the
lawn.
B
D
Thank
you,
john
I'm
going
to
allow
you
to
unmute
yourself
now,
so
you
can
extra
question.
H
Hello,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes,
hello,
hi
everyone!
Thank
you
for
organizing
this
meeting
jon
stewart
20-plus
year
a
butter
of
titus
barrel
park.
So
I
remember
very
well
the
meetings
we
had
many
years
ago
and
really
it
was
a
great
community
effort,
and
I
I
I
heard
marlene
and
rob,
and
so
it's
nice
to
all
voices
again,
so
maybe
some
new
people
I
haven't
heard
before
so
so
that
was
a
great
effort.
H
My
feedback
would
be,
I
think,
the
current
configuration
of
the
park
and
what
rob
was
talking
up
about
up
front
works
really.
Well,
I
think
it's
a
nicely
balanced
park
and
whatever
we
do
to
improve
the
different
sections
of
the
park,
I
hope
we
maintain
that
balance
and
not
try
to
make
the
park
do
more
than
it
should
be
doing
today.
So
that
would
be
just
one
initial
feedback.
H
So
in
terms
of
security
issues,
I
I
do
support
the
concept
of
fencing
the
park
and
being
able
to
lock
the
park
at
night.
If
not
the
whole
park.
Certain
areas
of
the
park,
maybe
the
tennis
court
or
the
basketball
court,
because
the
drug
activity
in
the
park,
especially
at
nighttime,
has
only
gotten
worse
over
the
years
and
maybe
ebbs
and
flows.
I
know
we
currently
have
a
drug
problem
in
the
united
states
and
boston,
but
it
definitely
creates
a
sense
of
lack
of
security
in
the
park.
H
So
I
highly
recommend
if
we
could
look
at
ways
to
secure
the
park,
and
I
know
we
do
other
parks
in
the
city.
I
know
it
takes
work
to
do
that
security,
but
not
only
in
sort
of
you
know
what
the
other
speaker
wrote
said
about.
You
know
people
running
out
in
the
street
children,
which
is
also
quite
important,
but
if
there's
a
way
we
could
secure
the
park,
it
could
be
locked
after
the
closing
hours.
I
think
that's
something
that
we
talked
about
many
years
ago,
but
we
weren't
able
to
get
to
that.
H
So
I'd
like
to
put
that
in
the
list.
The
other
thing
since
then
also
one
thing
we
talked
about-
is
the
ability
to
secure
the
park
by
cameras,
security
cameras
because
a
lot
of
the
issues
that
we
face
in
the
park,
you
know
it
tends
to
be
living
there
at
budding
the
park.
It's
repeat
offenders
right
so
to
the
dog
comment
earlier.
H
My
experience
over
the
past
20
plus
years
is
you
have
the
people
who
don't
know
and
the
people
who
don't
care
the
people
who
don't
know
you
talk
to
them
and
they're
generally
great.
It's
like
I
didn't
know
which,
which
didn't
read
the
sign,
but
whatever
they
didn't
know
and
there's
a
group
of
people
who
don't
care
and
there's
been
several.
H
I
have
to
say
the
city
of
boston
has
been
great.
You
know
you
know,
I
have
reported
directly
to
animal
control,
same
people
every
time
animal
control
has
come
out.
They
address
the
situation
with
the
repeat
offenders.
So
I'd
like
to
kind
of
look
at
the
concept
of
some
level
of
security
cameras.
I
know
we
do
that
in
different
parts
of
the
city.
I
think
that's
also
important
and
my
final
point
would
be
around
sort
of
nuisance
issues
and
especially
for
our
butters.
H
So
one
other
issue
we
didn't
fully
address
a
few
years
ago
was
the
lighting
situation,
so
the
lighting
at
night
from
the
tennis
court,
it's
closer
to
me.
I'd,
know
less
about
the
basketball
court
shines
into
the
apartments
I'm
on
greenwich
park,
so
I'm
not
right
beside
the
building
on
75
west
rockland
square,
but
it's
quite
a
reason
to
to
have
to
spend
your
night
with
light
shining
into
the
apartment,
so
my
others
might
have
that
issue,
but
that's
another
area
that
I'd
like
folks
to
take
a
look
at
overall.
H
Thanks
for
the
process,
it's
incredible
asset
to
the
city
of
boston.
Let's
not
ruin
that
nothing
would,
but
let's
sort
of
try
to
maintain
that
balance,
and
thank
you
very
much.
A
Yeah,
I
think
that,
within
the
department,
the
way
we've
been
describing
titus
sparrow
is
that
it
has
great
bones
and
we
only
want
to
make
it
better.
We
don't
want
change
just
for
the
sake
of
change.
Some
of
the
problems
that
you
mentioned,
john,
are
things
that
are
relatively
easy
fixes.
A
You
know
the
light
pollution
is
something
that
we
can
provide
an
engineering
solution
for
that
can
get.
It
can
really
mitigate
that
problem
I'll.
I
will
look
into
security
cameras.
I've
only
been
with
this
city
for
a
little
less
than
a
year
and
a
half
so
there's
some
interdepartmental
factors
that
I'm
not
aware
of
yet,
but
I
can
absolutely
look
into
that
and
share
that
information
with
halverson,
ty
and
bond.
A
The
other
thing
I
should
mention
is
that
my
father-in-law
grew
up
in
the
south
end
and
about
five
years
ago
we
bought
his
house
on
warren
ave
in
between
dartmouth
and
and
clarendon.
So
you
know
my
daughter
practiced
soccer
here
and
it's
a
it's
a
place
that
I
love
to
come
to.
H
B
Yeah
and
john
thanks
for
the
comments
tonight,
you
know
we're.
B
I
I
I
appreciate
the
comment
about
not
adding
more.
You
know,
there's
been
in
my
experience
with
titus
is
those
long
triangles
to
the
left
and
the
right
they're.
You
know
currently
one
might
say
under
programmed,
but
I
would
argue
that
they're
perfectly
programmed
right.
It's
a
quiet
spot,
it's
an
unprogrammed
space
within
a
park
that
has
some
pretty
heavy
programming
and
so
having
a
having
some
quiet
moments
in
the
park.
B
Programmatically,
not
literally,
I
I
think,
is
an
important
part
of
titus,
and
so
I
don't,
I
don't
foresee
us
trying
to
you
know
jam
in
as
much
programming
as
possible.
So
I
can
appreciate
that
comment
and
and
he's
right,
like
as
our
knowledge
of
soils
and
lawn,
has
increased
dramatically
in
the
last
10
years.
I'll
say:
lighting
controls
have
exponentially
increased
in
the
last
10
years,
and
so
the
pro
the
salt,
the
solutions
we
had
in
2003,
I
think
we
can.
B
B
Now
I
will
say
if
you,
if,
in
the,
if
you
have
a
question
in
the
chat
and
we
answered-
and
you
don't
feel
like
we
adequately
answered
it,
please
don't
hesitate
to
re-ask
it
or
raise
your
hand
to
get
more
description
or
if
we,
if
we
miss
the
point,
please
don't
hesitate
to
reach
out.
F
Hi
this
is
kerry.
Nelson,
I'm
on
west
newton
street.
Thanks
for
having
this
forum,
we
love
titus
sparrow,
so
we're
very
excited
to
to
see
what
the
community
can
come
up
with
for
improvements.
I
I
want
to
echo
a
couple
of
things
that
some
of
the
previous
neighbors
mentioned
and
the
first
is
security.
F
So
we
have
a
small
child
and
feel
that
the
security
is
a
really
important
component
of
our
decisions
on
which
park
to
go
to
of
the
choices
that
we
have
around
us
between
sort
of
the
blue
park
and
hayes
park
and
titus
sparrow.
We
often
choose
the
smaller
parks,
particularly
because
there
is
better
fencing
and
that's
both
sort
of
fencing
things
in
and
fencing
things
out,
and
I
would
say
that
in
the
last
few
years
we've
been
really
troubled
by
leftover
syringes
and
things
that
we've
found
in
the
park.
F
So
I
I
would
strongly
encourage
the
idea
of
fencing
at
least
the
playground,
if
not,
if
not
the
whole
park,
if
possible,
because
I
think
that's
it's
such
an
important
aspect
of
the
quality
of
life
in
the
city
and
the
the
aspect
of
you
know,
syringes
and
drug
use
in
the
park.
F
It's
a
it's
a
direct
detriment
to
to
the
people
who
use
the
park.
That's
the
first
thing.
The
second
thing
just
sort
of
aesthetically
I
wanted
to
ask
or
just
make
some
comments
about,
is
on
the
community
gardens
portion
of
the
park.
I
feel
like
we
could
do
more
there.
I,
I
think,
there's
not
much
symmetry.
F
F
I
think
we
could
it'd
be
nice
to
see
a
more
thoughtful
approach
to
the
to
those
gardens
and
then
behind
the
playground
area
itself,
where
there's
these
stone
structures.
One
thing
I've
noticed
over
the
years
is
a
lot
of
families.
Use
that
space
to
have
small
birthday
parties
for
their
kids,
it's
been
a
great
space
for
families
during
covid
to
to
be
able
to.
F
You
know,
gather
outside
in
a
safe
way,
and
I
feel
like
that
space
too
could
really
be
improved
to
to
to
use
it
as
some
sort
of
a
gathering
space.
That's
not
not
exactly
visually
what
it
is
right
now,
which
seems
to
be
more
like
some
grass
some
dirt,
some
stone.
It's
not
a
it's,
not
a
really
welcoming
space,
but
it
could
be
a
really
well
utilized
space.
So
those
are
my
comments
thanks
again
for
the
forum.
I
think
this
is
terrific.
B
Carrie
the
last
comment
the
space
you're
talking
about.
Is
it
the
one
behind
the
adjacent
to
the
brick
wall
or
adjacent
to
the
church?.
B
I
yeah
I
can
others
from
the
friends
can
speak
up
so
after
2003
you
know
the
lawn
was
that
long
triangle
was
didn't.
Have
those
benches
it
was.
B
You
know
a
lawn
that
just
as
kerry
said
people
had
birthday
parties
and
you
could
you
know,
I
think
a
lot
of
mommy
and
me
classes
occurred
there
and
then
members
of
the
community,
when
I
was
on
the
board,
felt
like
there
needed
to
be
more
going
on
there
and
so
the
compromise,
if
you
will,
was
those
stone
benches,
and
so
we
me
and
others
in
the
friends
group
kind
of
designed
and
laid
them
out
and
then
the
friends
or
maybe
parks.
B
E
Hi,
excuse
me
steve
sloane,
sorry,
I'm
having
dinner
now
too,
a
few
comments,
one
rob
if
we
managed
to
put
that
grass
in
I
know
you're
asking
for
the
friends
group
to
help
with
maintenance
I'll
ask
for
instructions
on
the
best
way
to
do
that,
because
we
don't
really
have
an
expert
on
that
on
the
triangle
on
the
left.
That
was
just
spoken
about
that
shady
triangle.
E
You
know
it's.
It's
used
for
lots
of
events
we've
put
on
often
in
normal
times
in
the
kids
concerts,
usually
once
a
week
for
about
six
weeks
in
the
summers.
In
addition,
people
often
have
birthday
parties
and
it's
used
kind
of
as
a
secondary
field
when
that
first
field
isn't
used,
so
kids
will
play
soccer
there
and
things
I
I
kind
of
think
it's
a
it's
a
nice
area
to
keep.
But
what
I
was
going
to
say
was
that
other
triangle
on
the
right
side
towards
west
newton
park-
it's
hillier,
it's
shadier!
E
It's
just
not
used
that
much.
If
one
was
to
put
things
like
exercise
equipment
that
I
saw
was
sort
of
on
the
website
as
a
possibility.
I
think
that'd
be
a
great
place
for
that,
because
that
area,
it's
you're,
never
going
to
manage
to
have
grass
there
too
much,
because
it's
so
shady,
which
may
be
appreciated
by
people
doing
exercises
anyway,
and
it's
it's
just
really.
I
think
that
right
side
towards
west
newton
is
is
underutilized.
B
Yeah
yeah,
yes
to
your
first
comment:
we
we
you
know
10
15
years
ago
there
was
a
lawn
care
consultant,
whose
name
now
escapes
me
that
the
friends
hired
to
do
a
five,
a
seasonal
application
process
in
aerating
and
then
the
other
part
we
did
in
conjunction
with
the
parks
department.
Was,
you
know
during
really
wet
events?
B
The
lawn
would
be
fenced
off
so
that
it
didn't
get
overly
compacted,
and
so
there
was
a
lot
of
back
and
forth
and
then
I
don't
know
time
went
by
and
my
kids,
you
know,
got
older
and
I
think
the
lawn
just
got
the
soil
just
got
overly
compacted
and
it
became
a
you
know
this.
This.
B
Should
occurred
five
or
ten
years
ago
for
at
least
for
the
lawn,
but
never
did
so
yeah.
We
can
we'll
definitely
have
some
sort
of
operation
and
maintenance
manual
associated
with
the
project.
D
I
think
so
we're
going
to
jump
back
to
the
q,
a
megan
as
well
as
david
would
like
to
know.
Can
we
expand
and
add
more
adult
fitness
equipment.
A
Yeah,
we
can
absolutely
look
at
that
and
we're
finding
that
that's
a
trend
in
the
area
and
there
are
more
options
for
adult
fitness
equipment
than
there
were
certainly
the
last
time
the
renovation
was
done
here
and
I
think
the
goals
are
to
look
at
things.
A
D
Thank
you
joan
asked
states,
we
are
residents
in
st
b
neighborhood
and
we
love
the
design.
The
way
the
path
winds,
diagonally
through
the
space
and
slopes
and
separates
into
various
lawns
is
dynamic
and
enjoyable.
The
updating
of
the
playground
equipment
is
definitely
needed,
but
keeping
it
to
two
different
age
group
levels
would
be
preferable
in
favor
of
keeping
the
sandbox
and
definitely
would
appreciate
a
bigger
tribute
to
titus
battle
as
well
such
a
great
story.
A
One
is
that
it's
great,
that
you
appreciate
how
the
park
is
zoned
out,
it's
industry
standard
for
play,
equipment
to
be
designed
for
the
two
to
five-year-old
age
group
and
then
the
five
to
twelve-year-old
age
group
and
part
of
that
is
about
how
the
equipment
is
used,
but
also
it's
based
on
anthropomorphic
dimensions,
so
that
the
height
of
the
guard
rails
and
the
height
of
the
platforms
corresponds
to
the
age
group
for
which
the
equipment
is
designed,
and
it's
found
that
that
has
worked
fairly
well
and
that's
just
the
way
the
industry
is
anyway.
A
So
that's
a
given.
I
do
know
that
the
city
has
moved
away
from
sand
boxes
and
that's
because
we
just
can't
maintain
them
safely
and
cleanly
and
we'll
be
looking
for
other
ways
for
kids
to
manipulate
materials.
B
No,
I
mean,
I
think
you
know
the
sandbox
is
probably
the
surprise.
This
is
the
first
time
it's
come
up,
it's
the
probably
the
biggest
bone
in
contention
in
the
play
space
from
my
memory.
So
I'm
curious
to
hear
more
comments
on
it.
But,
as
annie
said,
you
know
most
open
spaces.
Public
realm
is
moving
away
from
sandboxes.
D
Thank
you,
keith,
wanted
to
add
some
comment
from
earlier.
The
brick
wall
is
an
important
part
of
south
and
history
and
can
be
highlighted
more.
There
was
a
weeping
cherry
in
the
circle
at
the
end
of
west
rutland
square,
dedicated
to
titus
sparrow.
It
died
after
being
covered
in
salt,
one
winter,
the
butters
to
the
park
cleaned
up
the
circle,
but
the
cherry
requires
extensive
force
to
be
replaced.
It
would
be
nice
if
it
could
be.
I
Hi
bob
barney,
thank
you
so
much
for
holding
this.
I
want
to
start
out
by
saying
thank
you.
For
this
past
sunday
I
held
a
memorial
there
for
a
friend
who
had
passed.
We
had
about
50
people
and
we
used
the
zigzag
concrete
seats.
So
a
lot
of
folks
were
sitting
down
there,
so
it
was
really
quite
nice.
I
One
thing
that
we
did
on
the
southwest
corridor
park
over
the
last
year
and
a
half
is
we
painted
the
waste
barrels
with
flowers.
So
it's
a
simple
thing,
but
maybe
there's
something
like
that
that
we
could
add
to
the
park.
That
would
just
be
a
suggestion
and
the
last
thing
is
a
water
feature.
I
know
this
is
a
push,
but
water
is
so
soothing.
Is
there
a
way
that
that
could
be
introduced
into
the
park
thanks.
B
Thanks
bob
we'll
consider
all
those
definitely
I
mean
they're,
all
you
know,
the
water
is
probably
the
most
problematic,
but
I
don't,
I
think
it's
worth
exploring.
We
we
should.
We
should
look
into
that,
but
not
only
from
the
sound,
but
also
this
idea
of
manipulation
by
children
so
and
then
the
art
I
I
think
we
agree
100
on
the
art,
there's
opportunities,
we'll
definitely
look
for
those.
I
And
there's
also
a
there's,
the
richard
lee
jones
basketball
court
and
I
know
there's
some
signage
there,
but
even
from
an
art
perspective
along
sort
of
the
concrete
base.
Maybe
there
could
be
something
there
to
commemorate
that
person
of
the
basketball
court
yeah.
A
Yeah,
I
think,
there's
so
many
opportunities
for
interpretation
here,
and
that
doesn't
necessarily
mean
it
has
to
be
representative
art.
But
there's
such
an
incredible
story
in
this
place
that
it's
going
to
be
really
fun
to
think
about
how
to
tell
that
story.
J
Thank
you
thank
you
for
this
forum
tonight
and
I
know
we
only
have
a
little
bit
of
time.
I
have
a
few
questions.
One
about
the
lock.
I
grew
up
in
sparrow
park.
I
grew
up
before
when
they
had
a
swimming
pool
there,
I'm
from
braddock
park
lived
there
over
30
years,
and
you
know
what
was
very
intentional
and
great
for
for
my
family
and
for
people
that
actually
grew
up.
I'm
talking
about
south
vendors
that
lived
there
that
passed
away
there
that
are
still
living
there.
J
I
just
wanted
to
know
about
the
friends,
the
friends
of
sparrow
who
I've
read
about
who
I've
met
some
of
them
before.
I
wanted
to
know
a
little
bit
about
your
intentional
approach
on
trying
to
get
the
diversity
back
within
the
park.
I,
when
I
grew
up
it
was
mixed.
The
southend
was
diverse
and
I
just
still
see
like
it's.
It
just
feels
us
as
when
I
drive
by
or
going
to
stop
stock
market
or
something
it's
really.
J
It
saddens
me
that
there
it
has
not
been
a
component-
and
maybe
I
don't
know
to
reach
out
to
surrounding
areas
such
as
meth
union,
manor
and
and
to
tdc
and
to
other
places
in
the
neighborhood
who,
where
people
of
color
live,
because
for
me
a
park
is
for
families.
A
park
is
somewhere
where
you
enjoy
yourself
after
work
after
school,
and
I
think
that
part
should
probably
especially
with
your
new
with
the
new
look,
should
be
an
intentional
diverse,
look
and-
and
you
know
how
do
we
bring
that
back?
J
How
do
we
bring
at
least
to
invite
those
families
that
that
have
kids,
because
when
they
see
people
that
don't
look
like
them,
they
might
feel
like
that
park?
Isn't
for
them
any
longer.
So
I
don't
know
how
we
could
talk
more
about
this.
Did
we
bring
it
to
the
friends
meeting
and
I
also
wanted
to,
if
someone's
writing
it
down
the
name
of
the
park?
Will
that
still
always
stay?
Because
when
you
start
looking
at
new
other
things,
will
you
change
the
name
or
has
that
been
any
talk
or
any
language.
A
I
have-
I
have
not
heard
a
single
word
about
that
great.
I
think
it
would
be
my
own
personal
feeling
is
that
it
would
be
extremely
disrespectful.
J
Okay,
thank
you
so
much,
it's
great
to
hear
that
and
two
more
things,
and
I
will
just
give
the
floor
to
someone
else,
the
sandbox
I
work
in
health
and
recovery.
I
work
in
infectious
diseases
and
the
sandbox
is
really
something
that
you
should
really
really
really
consider
of.
J
I
don't
know
tarp
or
something
because
the
needles
they're
just
outrageous.
I
mean
it's
just
not
in
the
cell
thin
or
massive
areas.
The
needles
are
everywhere.
J
J
We
talk
about
locks
and
and
putting
up
fences,
and
I
know
that
there
have
been
many
events
that
even
tdc's
held
and
everyone
is
included
everyone's
invited.
J
But
when
you
talk
about
putting
locks,
who
will
be
like
in
charge
of
a
lock
of
a
park
that
belongs
to
the
community,
will
someone
have
to
go
to
like
the
friends
of
sparrow
to
get
access
to
to
unlock
the
park
or
does
the
city
of
boston
I'm
just
like
throwing
it
out
there?
Who
will
you
know
have
that
opportunity
to
say?
Okay?
Yes,
we
we're
gonna
open
it.
No
we're
not
gonna
open
it.
A
So
let
me
just
respond
to
the
issue
of
locking
parks,
because
this
just
came
up
at
a
park
that
we're
beginning
to
look
at
in
gay
village
and
in
that
location,
every
time
they
sort
of
clean
up
the
common
and
garden
a
lot
of.
A
So
I
think
that
we
can
be
smarter
about
where
the
planting
is
where
the
sight
lines
are
what's
visible,
and
I
think
that
there
are
several
ways
that
we
can
remedy
this,
at
least
in
large
part,
if
not
completely,
without
having
to
close
off
the
park.
A
B
B
Just
briefly
also
expand
on
that
katrina.
Like
I
don't
know,
I
mean
the
focus
of
most
of
our
design,
all
of
our
design
in
boston,
all
the
public
realm
that
our
firm
does
is
all
about
equality.
Equal
access,
equal
programming,
like
the
the
redesign
of
the
park,
will
not
have
an
exclusionary
component
in
its
aesthetic
or
structure
or
program.
C
B
Know
that
a
tall
fence-
and
you
know
building
a
wall
is
the
right
solution.
I
think
we
can
find
a
better
solution
of
visual
porosity,
adequate
lighting,
right,
making
sure
the
broken
window
syndrome
doesn't
exist
and
the
park
is
well
maintained.
I
think
all
those
are
better
solutions
than
building
a
wall,
unlocking
locking
the
park
up
at
night,
but
we'll
explore
all
options
and
have
that
dialogue
with
the
community
as
we
move
forward.
C
Hi,
I
just
wanted
to
expand
upon
the
comment
about
the
adult
fitness
equipment.
I
had
put
a
comment
in
the
chat
and
I
wasn't
necessarily
saying
that
I
wanted
it.
I
guess
I
just
was
trying
to
understand,
or
if
at
this
point,
you
guys
in
the
project
planning
have
enough
information
to
share
about
it.
Just
since
we're
talking
about
you
know
how
heavily
programmed
the
park
already
is
and
how
much
there's
already
going
on
there
sort
of
the
rationale
for
sort
of
adding
an
additional
element.
C
B
I'll
say
we're
gonna
figure
it
out
together.
We'll
come
back
at
the
next
meeting
with
some
possible
solutions.
I
think
the
nice
thing
about
exercise
equipment
is
that
it's
fairly.
H
B
As
big
as
if
we
do
it,
if
the
community
and
parks
department
decides
that's
a
worthwhile
objective,
it
won't
be
as
big
as
what's
across
from
bu
beach.
You
know
down
on
the
esplanade
that
takes
up
a
fair
amount
of
space,
it'll,
be
much
more
quiet
and
and
out
of
the
way,
and
so
I
think
it's
just
adding
another
opportunity
for
people
to
use
a
park
that
may
not
have
a
current.
You
know
being
currently
served
right.
The
the
young
are
being
heavily
served,
the
titus,
but
is
there?
D
Thank
you,
stephen.
You
can
go
ahead.
E
Thanks
just
a
couple
of
more
things
going
back
to
where
there
might
be
space
for
adult
equipment
or
even
maybe
some
more
playground
equipment.
I
do
think
that
space
it
on
the
right
side
of
the
picture
adjacent
to
west
newton
street
in
that
hilly
area
is,
is
underutilized
and
could
accommodate
some
of
that.
There's
also
actually
a
little
bit
more
space
to
the
very
bottom
right
of
the
picture.
E
Next
to
the
playground
where
there's
like
a
wall
and
then
the
church
is
maintaining
it,
but
I
don't
think
it's
really
church
space,
that's
what
I've
heard,
I'm
not
sure
down
there,
but
it's
it's
been
an
unfortunate
area
because
it's
sort
of
a
no
man's
land
and
so
used
for
all
sorts
of
things
that
people
don't
really
want
to
be
used
either
in
a
church,
grass
area
or
the
park.
The
other
thing
I
just
want
to
respond
to
katrina
from
the
friends
group
we
do
try
to
put
in
programs
that
would
appeal
to
everybody.
E
We
have
these
concerts
that
are
incredibly
diverse
of
all
different
genres
of
music,
but
I'd
certainly
appreciate
katrina.
You
know
you
can
contact
me
through
the
website
or
I've
got
the
my
email
address
in
the
the
q,
a
you
can
we'd
love
to.
Have
you
either
join
the
board,
or
at
least
give
us
advice
and
and
take
your
opinions
as
we
as
we
do
programs
in
the
park
to
ensure
that
they
are
as
inclusive
as
possible
for
everybody
in
the
neighborhood.
Thank
you.
D
Thank
you
steven,
I'm
gonna
jump
to.
If
you
guys
want
to
respond
and
then
I'm
gonna
jump
to
the
q
a.
B
D
Thank
you,
stephen
for
adding
that
mary
has
a
few
comments.
She
says
I
oppose
fencing,
which
is
a
turn
off
to
people
who
like
to
stroll
through
the
park.
Camera
concept,
a
good
idea,
dogs
in
the
park
and
creating
separate
area,
has
been
a
sore
subject
for
years.
This
is
a
people
in
children
park.
She
also
states
that
drug
use
in
the
park
is
not
just
a
park
issue.
It's
a
city-wide
and
statewide
and
country-wide
issue.
And,
lastly,
she
stated
she
loves
the
idea
of
a
tribute
to
titus
pharaoh.
D
Charles
has
a
few
comments
also.
He
has
three
points
he
has.
D
What
he
likes
is
the
current
layout
walking
through
the
park
when
I'm
traveling
through
the
area
metal
benches
with
back
what
he
does
doesn't
like
is
stone
benches
without
backs,
and
then
what
he
would
like
to
see
is
adult
fitness
equipment,
more
seating,
perhaps
tables
and
chairs
for
working
or
eating.
B
Yeah
I
want
to
just
interject
real
quick.
I
I,
I
think
we
agree
the
diversity
of
seeding,
whether
you
like
benches,
with
backs
or
stone
bench,
don't
like
stone
benches.
I
think
what
how
titus
could
benefit
is
maybe
a
slight
increase
of
diversity
of
seating.
So,
as
you
mentioned,
you
know
tables,
maybe
there's
community
kind
of
long
communal
picnic
tables.
You
know.
I
think
these
are
all
points
of
discussion
that
will
come
back
with
options
at
the
next
meeting,
but
appreciate
the
kind
of
mention
and
request
for
diversity
of
seating.
A
Yeah,
I
think,
there's
a
greater
variety
of
site
furniture
than
there
was
say
10
years
ago,
and
I
think
we
want
to
give
people
opportunities
to
use
the
parks
in
different
ways.
So,
for
instance,
one
thing
I've
done
in
other
parks
is
individual
seats
with
an
occasional
table
in
between
them.
A
G
Go
ahead,
yes,
hi!
I
just
wanted
to
get
back
to
catherine
cooley's
comments
about
blocking
the
park
and
I
think
all
the
important
things
have
been
said
there
there's
just
one
example
you
may
not
know
about
which
is
that
library
park
next
to
the
south
end
library
had
that
very
same
issue.
You
know
two
decades
ago
and
in
fact
they
did
put
a
fence
around
it
and
it
was
locked
and
it
was
a
disaster.
G
So
you
precisely
for
the
reasons
that
you
mentioned,
which
is
like
who's
going
to
lock
it
who's,
going
who's
being
locked
out
and
support,
and
so
on.
It
is
in
a
neighborhood
like
the
south
end,
which
is
so
diverse
and
so
many
issues
I
mean
it
is
just
a
very
unfriendly
thing
to
do,
or
it
can
quickly
degenerate
into
a
very
unwelcoming
situation
in
library
park.
G
D
A
Well
then,
I'll
thank
everyone
again
for
their
valuable
time
and
thoughtful
insights,
and
please
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
me,
either
by
phone
or
email
and
I'll,
be
glad
glad
to
talk
to
you
and
pass
on
your
ideas.
B
Yeah
I'll,
second,
that
you
know
we're
available
through,
annie
and
happy
and
as
I
said,
you
know,
this
is
a
process
together,
so
we're
the
hired
professionals.
We
have
lots
of
experience
around
this,
so
we'll
bring
a
series
of
ideas
back
to
the
community,
but
ultimately
it'll
be
a
process
together
about
what
the
community
wants
and
what
everyone
feels
like
will
work
and
not
work
and
what
you
know
how
to
fulfill
everybody's
hopes
and
dreams.
So
stay
tuned
for
early
june
and
we'll
be
working
diligently
between
now
and
then.
A
So
if
you
use
this
qr
code,
it
will
take
you
to
the
project
page
on
the
on
the
web,
and
that
has
my
contact
information
on
it.
Christine
is
there
anything
that
we
should
add
to
that
description.
