Moakley Talk: Public Health and Environment
A
Sir,
I
am
thoughtful
of
your
guys's
time,
so
let's
just
go
ahead
and
jump
in
and
people
can
join
and
especially
have
a
lot
of
kind
of
housekeeping
things
to
cover
early
on
so
so
welcome
tonight.
This
is
the
public
health
and
environment
talk
and
my
name
is
allison
perlman,
I'm
the
project
manager
with
boston
parks
for
the
monthly
park
project,
a
couple
things
that
I
wanted
to
go
over.
A
A
Next
slide
tonight's
meeting
is
being
recorded
and
will
be
available
on
the
project
website
within
a
week.
I
want
to
acknowledge
everyone-
that's
here
tonight,
thanks
for
your
time,
but
as
I
mentioned
in
many
of
the
meetings,
this
is
really
a
community-driven
process,
so
it's
important
for
us
to
engage
with
as
many
people
as
possible.
A
A
A
We
also
want
to
ensure
that
this
conversation
feels
accessible
to
everyone
and
each
one
of
you
feels
comfortable
sharing
your
questions
and
comments.
Let's
please
be
respectful
and
mindful
of
others
time,
so
everyone
has
the
opportunity
to
participate,
keep
questions
and
projects
specific
and
not
personal,
to
encourage
conversation
which
is
solution
driven
once
you've
submitted
or
asked
a
question.
Please
wait
till
others
have
an
opportunity
to
ask
questions
before
submitting
another
one.
A
A
So
over
the
last
few
weeks,
we've
done
a
series
of
engagement
events,
we've
done
the
moakley
park,
preliminary
plan,
virtual
open
house
and
we've
done
focused
discussions
on
sports
and
active
reparation
and
community
and
play
we've
reached
around
170
people,
which
is
exciting.
So
if
you
miss
these
talks,
please
visit
our
website
and
you
can
see
them
there
tonight.
Our
is
our
last
talk
of
the
series.
This
talk
will
focus
on
specifically
on
public
health
and
the
environment.
A
It'll
give
us
an
opportunity
to
kind
of
see
everybody
and
dive
into
this
topic
a
little
more
thoroughly.
As
I
mentioned,
this
is
the
last
talk
in
this
series,
but
not
to
worry.
This
project
has
a
ways
to
go
until
we
get
to
construction,
so
we'll
continually
be
reaching
out
to
the
community
to
hear
what
you
think
as
we
progress.
A
So
at
this
time
we'll
ask
for
you
to
turn
your
videos
back
on
or
we'll
turn
them
on
for
you,
whatever
you're
comfortable
with
and
in
addition,
you
can
either
raise
your
hand.
Let's
see,
is
anybody
on
the
phone?
It
doesn't
look
like
it,
so
you
can
raise
your
hand
by
hitting
participants
which
is
on
the
bottom
of
the
screen
and
that
will
open
a
sidebar
and
then
you
can
raise
your
hand.
Is
there?
A
Is
there
a
raised
hand
feature
okay,
so
we're
not
gonna
be
able
to
do
that.
So
hopefully
you
can
just
submit
your
questions
via
chat.
I'm
not
sure
why
the
race
hand
feature
is
not
there
again
we're
working
on
that
and
hopefully
we
can
resolve
it,
but
we
know
the
chat
feature's
working.
So
please
submit
your
questions
via
the
chat.
A
A
A
A
A
In
2018,
we
kicked
out
the
plan
to
re-envision
what
moakley
park
could
be.
We
were
excited
to
integrate
climate
resiliency
with
improving
sports
facilities
and
community
amenities,
and
this
plan
set
forth
a
vision
for
a
district
scale.
Coastal
flood
protection
system
via
a
landscape
berm,
that's
that
runs
along
or
adjacent
to
dave
boulevard
in
coordination
with
work
to
the
north
and
south
would
provide
a
flood
protection
for
the
community
for
years
to
come.
A
Next
slide,
the
city
recognized
that
existing
critical
environmental
issues
were
at
the
park.
So
we
recognized
that
there
was
coastal
and
storm
water
flooding
both
existing
and
future,
that
we
were
concerned
about
increasing
temperatures
and
the
lack
of
plant
diversity,
and
we
were
concerned
about
pedestrian
and
bike
safety
and
air
quality
concerns.
A
Committee
infant
was
really
crucial
to
us
moving
forward
and
to
what
you
see
today,
which
is
the
the
2020
preliminary
plan
we
heard
from
so
many
voices,
whether
they
were
you
know,
families
or
coaches
or
team
members
or
community
organizations,
non-profits
boston
residents
we
heard
from
so
so
many
people
and
and
we've
been
fortunate
to
have
such
an
extended
community
engagement
process
for
this
project.
So
we
can
really
come
back
to
you
with
a
park
that
reflects
who
has
participated
in
this
process.
C
Thanks
alison,
so
when
we're
thinking
about
you
know,
we
have
several
goals
that
we
want
to
achieve
with
building
resilient
coastal
landscapes.
Some
of
the
things
that
allison
was
bringing
up
that
we're
hearing
and
strategies
of
ways
to
get
there,
so
the
first
is
building
resilient
coastal
landscapes.
C
Part
of
that
nature-based
solution
is
really
looking
at
fostering
that
biodiversity
and
creating
habitat
throughout
the
park,
so
it
becomes
a
place
of
conservation
and
recreation
and
then,
of
course,
improving
mobility
and
access
and
improving
air
quality.
Looking
through
with
those
environmental
strategies
that
amy
will
talk
a
little
bit
more.
C
About
so
one
of
the
things
we
wanted
to
sort
of
explain
through
this
image,
is
that
we're
really
looking
at
integrating
these
environmental
strategies
throughout
the
park?
It's
not
one
individual
feature.
It
really
works
together
as
a
very
large
system.
It's
integrated,
so
it
won't.
You
won't
be
able
to
point
to
one
thing
and
say:
there's
the
environmental
strategy
in
the
park.
It's
really
all
a
big
part
of
how
moakley
park
is
evolving
in
the
future
and
integrated
together.
C
This
started
really
with
looking
at
the
coastal
flood
risk,
so
the
city
of
boston
is
preparing
for
40
inches
of
sea
level
rise
by
2070.,
so
we
were
looked
to
see.
Where
was
the
flood
pathways
through
the
park
and
also
work
in
a
district
approach
with
south
boston
and
dorchester
to
understand
how
multiple
flood
pathways
affect
the
community?
C
Sort
of
if
we
looked
at
three
main
groups
of
the
coastal
flood
management,
storm
water
management
and
shade
and
cooling,
what
we
see
is
that
those
environmental
goals
that
we
have
of
mitigating
impacts
of
rising
temperature,
improving
air
quality,
increasing
habitat
creation,
building
coastal
resilient
landscapes
and
storm
water
management
really
cross
a
span
of
them.
It's
not
one
solution
that
will
address
one
aspect
of
the
environmental
concern
and
issue,
but
they're
really
working
together
in
that
system.
C
So
if
we
look
at
coastal
flood
management
as
what
we're
preparing
for
here,
some
of
you
may
be
familiar
with
the
barrier.
That's
been
proposed
through
the
park,
so
we're
looking
at
an
earthen
barrier
that
extends
from
the
north
to
the
south
of
the
park
and
ties
into
existing
grades
on
both
sides
in
south
boston
and
it's
able
to
be
a
place
of
recreation,
but
also
provide
that
flood
protection
for
the
2070
40
inches
of
sea
level
rise.
C
And
then
shading
cooling
we're
looking
to
increase
the
tree
canopy
by
two
times.
What
exists
there
today
so
doubling
the
tree
canopy
at
moakley
park,
as
well
as
creating
shade
structures
by
active
places
of
recreation
and
water
and
cooling
systems.
I'll
note
that
the
the
green
infrastructure,
that's
in
the
storm
water
management
system
also
provides
cooling
benefits
as
well
for
mitigating
heat
impacts
throughout
the
park,
and
it
really
is
designed
to
work
as
a
system.
D
Benefits
thanks
julie,
so
all
of
these
elements
that
julie
just
described
also
have
really
important
social
benefits.
So
everything
from
just
gathering
together,
you
know
places
to
play,
have
fun
to
connect
in
a
shady
spot.
You
know
to
get
outside
to-
and
I
think,
really
importantly,
for
kids
to
really
explore
the
environment
and
learn
through
being
out
in
these
kind
of
landscapes
that
are
also
providing
all
of
this
fantastic
environmental
benefit.
D
One
example
of
the
kind
of
dual
purpose
role
that
these
these
systems
are
playing
is
in
the
along
the
waterfront
at
the
waterfront
plaza
and
kind
of
amphitheater
space.
We
have
a
this
high
point
in
the
park,
which
is
functioning
as
an
amphitheater
on
the
waterfront
side,
which
you
can
see
here
where,
on
on
one
day,
it
might
be
a
space
just
to
hang
out,
and
you
know
for
people
to
cool
off
and
play
in
the
fountain.
E
D
Community
shifting
gears
a
little
bit
now
from
the
environmental
kind
of
benefits
and
resilience
practices
here.
We
also
want
to
talk
about
mobility
and
access
and
kind
of
its
role
in
the
park,
both
as
it
connects
to
the
larger
community,
but
also
as
it
is
part
of
a
broader
initiative
around
resilience
and
on
the
whole
and
how
we
increase
our
kind
of
mobility
and
access
throughout
the
city.
D
D
It's
also
a
15
to
20
minute,
walk
bike,
ride
or
train
ride
from
a
really
broad
range
of
areas
in
the
city
and
each.
You
know.
That
means
really
different
neighborhoods
with
different
needs
and
different
interests,
and
it
really
has
the
potential
to
to
draw
all
these
different
people
to
the
to
the
park
and
particularly,
is
very
close
to
two
of
these
t
stations,
both
at
andrew
and
jfk,
which
we'll
look
at
in
just
a
minute.
D
Next
slide,
additionally,
it's
increasingly
connected
by
bicycle
routes.
You
can
see
here
in
the
solid
lines,
existing
bike
routes
and
then
a
whole
host
of
proposed
bike
routes
in
the
dashed
blue
lines
here
that
are
emerging
in
part
from
the
go
boston
initiative,
that's
really
seeking
to
improve
bicycle
access
throughout
the
city.
In
addition
to
that,
then
you
can
see
an
orange
a
little
bit
of
continued
improvement
on
the
bicycle
routes
right
at
moakley
park.
D
In
addition
to
extending
those
routes,
I
want
to
talk
also
about
how
we're
improving
those
routes.
So
if
you
go
to
the
next
slide
here,
we
are
looking
zoomed
in
back
at
moakley
park,
and
here
you
can
see
along
that
northern
edge
of
the
park
in
the
dash
line.
Is
this
kind
of
proposed
bike
route
we're
connecting
in
to
other
existing
and
proposed
bike
routes
that
go
back
towards
k
circle
and
then
along
the
park
itself?
D
We're
also
looking
at
just
improvements
to
those
bike
lanes
along
old
colony
and
day
boulevard,
just
to
ensure
that
they're,
safe
and
that
the
access
is
is
good
and
connected
to
the
rest
of
the
bike
network.
In
addition,
here
we're
really
interested
in
high
quality
pedestrian
connections
to
the
park
from
the
neighborhood.
D
So
there
are
a
number
of
existing
crosswalks.
We
will
be
working
with
massdot
and
the
owners
of
those
roads
to
to
continue
to
look
at.
How
can
we
ensure
that
those
crossings
are
safe
and
and
accessible
to
everyone
again,
the
series
of
bus
stops
and
other
means,
and
the
two
red
line
stops
that
are
close
by
so
we'll
also
be
continuing
to
collaborate.
City-Wide
with
you
know.
How
are
those
connections
continue
to
be
safe
and
accessible
next
slide.
D
Inside
the
park,
we
have
a
wide
range
of
pathways
for
different
kinds
of
movement
throughout
the
park.
We
have
these
come
in
kind
of
different
widths
based
on
the
types
of
needs,
so
the
primary
pathways
and
the
darkest
orange
color
here
are
20
foot
pathways
that
serve
as
primary
circulation
routes
throughout
the
park,
but
also
for
maintenance
needs
and
emergency
access
needs
across
the
park.
D
We
then
have
a
series
of
smaller
pathways
that
get
down
to
finer
grain
locations
and
kind
of
get
people
out
to
all
the
different
parts
of
the
park,
and
each
of
these
would
be
you
know
everywhere,
where
we're
looking
at
pathways:
we're
we're
thinking
about
accessibility
and
keeping
the
slopes
down
underneath
five
percent
and
utilizing
materials
that
mean
the
majority,
if
not
all,
of
the
pathways
in
the
park
are
accessible
for
everyone,
then.
Lastly,
there's
a
in
blue
around
the
outside
there's
a
running
track,
which
you
can
see
here.
D
D
F
G
Yeah,
if
anyone
could
help
me,
get
the
camera
going,
but
either
way
my
name
is
george
benner
and
brief
introduction.
It's
great
hearing
you
guys
sharing
about
this
mowgli
park
resiliency
project,
thanks
for
all
your
efforts
as
a
lifelong
resident
of
the
mary
ellen
mccomic,
I've
recently
engaged
in
this
urban
agriculture
program
for
the
last
12
years.
I'm
wondering
if
we
could
see
any
options
for
permaculture
or
greenhouse
initiatives,
feeding
programs.
A
This
question
up,
so
I
know
that
you
have
an
amazing
program
going
on
at
mariella,
mccormick
and
you've
had
so
many
people,
it's
kudos
to
you.
Thank
you,
so
I
I
just
want
to
say.
I
agree
that
you
know
improving
access
to
food,
and
you
know
programming
this
community
building
program
is
is
great.
I
think
that
we
want
to
make
sure
that
our
public
parks
feel
public
also,
so
I
think
it's
important.
A
G
G
Athletic
programs
in
the
park
for
the
last
12
years
pulling
permits
through
the
parks
and
recreation
department
in
running
these
groups.
But
I
think
the
main
thing
that
we
need
is
an
opportunity
to
provide
food,
apprenticeship,
programs
and
healthy
initiatives
in
the
park
right
across
the
street.
Look
forward
to
talking
to
you.
F
F
A
A
great
question,
so
we
have
been
going
through
this
process
for
several
years
now.
So,
while
there's
room
for
adjustment
in
some
of
the
areas
you
know
the
the
basic
layout
is
fairly
is
set.
You
know
we
are
going
to
explore
some
additional
things
that
have
come
up
through
these
meetings
and
trying
to
figure
out
if
we
can
still
fit
more
programming
in
and
try
to
kind
of
figure
out
how
to
balance
everything.
A
But
I
think
that
you
know
the
basic
framework
is
fairly
set
at
this
point,
and
so
we're
excited
to
kind
of
move
that
into
schematic
design
in
this
next
phase,
so
that
we
can,
you
know,
start
to.
I
think
people
keep
on
asking
us.
When
is
construction
going
to
start?
So
we
really
want
to
kind
of
move
this
forward
so
that
we
can
start
to
see
this
build.
E
E
The
basketball
courts
are
still
there
and
the
baseball
and
softball
fields
are
still
there,
because
this
is
a
place
where
a
lot
of
children
come
and
use
from
across
the
street,
because
I
I'm
from
mccormick
as
well-
and
I
know
george
and
george-
run
some
excellence
programs
with
the
children
in
the
neighborhood.
So
I
want
to
ensure
especially
now
we're
in
a
pandemic.
The
the
future
is
unforeseeable.
E
We
don't
know
what's
going
to
happen,
and
this
is
a
time
that
children
really
need
to
get
out
and
play,
because
every
all
the
children
are
so
cooped
up
now
in
the
house,
and
they
need
that
outlet
to
to
release
their
stress
and
their
energy.
So
and-
and
my
second
question
is,
have
you
come
into
this
the
surrounding
neighborhood
and
asked
questions?
Because,
as
a
resident,
I
haven't
seen
you
guys
in
in
mccormick,
knocking
on
doors
or
hosting
anything
asking
the
the
butters
what
they
would
like
to
see.
E
So
my
question
to
you
is:
how
have
you
been
reaching
out
to
residents
of
maryella
mccormick
and
the
of
the
rest
of
their
brothers
from
down
the
street
like
old
colony
and
west
broadway,
and
what
are
your
plans
to
do
so?
If
you
have
not
already
because
I
haven't,
I
haven't
chimed
in
besides
right
now
on
this,
and
I
would
like
to
see
the
athletic
field
stay.
A
A
We
have
little
league
softball
and
baseball
basketball,
tennis
and,
in
addition
to
that,
we're
also
looking
at
creating
the
spaces
between
more
dynamic
and
compelling
to
people
that
don't
play
sports
right.
So
if
you
just
want
to
go
and
hang
out
with
a
friend
or
picnic
with
your
family,
that's
there
too,
you
can
go
to
the
waterfront
and
you
can.
You
know,
walk
through
the
boardwalk
or
fly
a
kite.
You
know
that's
all
available
too,
so
we're
trying
to
look
at
this
as
kind
of
multi-faceted
park
and
and
meet
the
needs
of
the
community.
A
So
to
the
second
question:
what
community
are
we
talking
about
here?
Who
are
you
designing
for?
Yes,
we.
We
absolutely
agree
that
it's
so
important
to
involve
people
from
old
colony
and
maryland
mccormick
early
on.
We
started
reaching
out
to
the
task
force
at
marilyn,
mccormack
carol
and
then
also
phyllis.
We've
worked
with
at
old
colony,
now
we're
working
with
bruno
at
old
colony.
A
Thinking
about
how
do
we
create
maybe
a
a
old
colony
or
marielle
mccormick
family
focus
group
so
that
we
can
have
direct
access
to
the
residents
there,
so
we
can
talk
in
a
kind
of
more
focused
way
about
what's
important
to
you.
So
that's
one
piece
of
it:
two.
We
have
been
to
marilyn
mccormick
to
meet
to
meet
everybody
during
unity
day
last
year
and
then
also
we've
gone
to
the
wind
development
meetings
and
had
a
table
so
that
we
could.
A
We
realized
that
you
know
marilyn
mccormick,
there's
a
lot
of
meetings
going
on
with
the
potential
renovations
that
were
happening
there.
So
we
didn't
want
to
layer
in
more
meetings.
We
wanted
to
kind
of
piggyback
on
others
meetings,
and
so
we
started
going
to
the
wind
development
meetings
to
try
to
reach
people
as
well,
so
both
of
those
I
we
started
to
engage
people
at
mary,
ellen
mccormack
and
just
at
old
colony.
We
have.
A
We
had
several
of
the
first
open
houses
for
the
vision
plan
over
at
old
colony
at
the
learning
tyranny
learning
center
too.
So
I'm
super
happy
to
have
you
here
today
and
I'm
excited
to
try
to
figure
out
if
you
have
ideas
of
ways
to
reach
residents
at
marielle,
mccormick
or
old
colony,
that
you
know
we
haven't
thought
about,
please
let
us
know
add
it
to
the
you.
D
Alison,
if
I
could
just
add
one
quick
thing
for
anita,
we
did
do
a
sports
specific
presentation.
I
guess
two
weeks
ago
now,
two
or
three
weeks
ago
and
all
the
presentations
are
recorded
and
on
the
website.
So
if
you
do
want
to
learn
a
little
bit
more
about
the
sports
specific
proposal,
you
could
also
go
and
watch
that
if
you
have
a
chance.
F
D
So
at
this
point
in
time,
we
couldn't
give
you
an
exact
number
of
the
trees,
but
I
will
say
that
our
approach
as
julie
had
mentioned,
is
that
we
would
like
to
double
the
canopy
in
the
park
on
the
whole
and
that
that's
you
know
we
understand
we
heard
a
lot
from
residents
about
really
wanting
more
shade,
of
course,
the
biodiversity
side
of
things.
It
was
one
of
the
initial
concerns
we
had
about
the
park
that
the
the
existing
canopy
well,
there's
some
really
beautiful,
big
trees.
D
They're
often
many
of
them
are
the
same
species.
So
we're
you
know
more
interested
in
really
thinking
about
it.
On
the
whole,
as
as
a
diverse
canopy,
you
know
that's
playing
a
role
in
reducing
heat
and
providing
you
know
more
types
of
activities
also
to
happen
in
that
shade,
so
some
trees,
I'm
sure,
will
we
will
be
removing
some
trees.
But
again
you
know
we're
trying
to
minimize
that
and
we
don't
have
a
number
there.
F
A
Sure
so
you
know
it's
funny.
You
know
how
many
meetings
I'm
on
and
zoom,
and
I
I
constantly
like.
Oh
that's
right,
I
gotta
unmute,
you
guys
are
all
there
too.
Okay.
So
that's
a
really
good
question.
We've
been
getting
this
so
first,
the
are
we
thinking
about
improved
crosswalks.
So
let
me
just
acknowledge.
The
parks
only
owns
the
park
itself.
We
don't
own
the
roadways.
The
roadways
are
owned
by
the
state,
and
so
we
can
really
only
advocate
for
change
there.
A
So
we
recognize
that
we
want
to
improve
access
safer
access
to
the
park
to
the
beach.
So
we
will
continue
to
advocate
for
that
and
all
of
your
voices
and
in
the
participation
of
this
plan
really
help
us
elevate
that
conversation,
because
people
can
see
how
important
it
is
not
to
just
to
the
parks
department,
but
it's
important
to
the
residents
of
boston.
So
thank
you
for
bringing
that
up.
A
Beautiful
connection
from
the
park
over
to
carson
beach
and
we're
really
excited
about
that,
and
so,
but
we
also
heard
back
from
kind
of
a
another
subset
of
people
that
were
like
you
can't
take
away
dave
olivar.
That's
like
that's,
going
to
be
a
major
problem
for
traffic
in
south
boston,
so
we
wanted
to
move
this
plan
forward
and
so
we're
really
focusing
on
within
the
park
right
now
and
we're
also
showing
that
this
plan
works,
whether
dave
boulevard
stays
or
whether
it
goes.
A
A
None
of
those
seem
to
be
working
well,
whether
it's
because
you're
trying
to
get
from
the
jfk
station
to
the
park
or
you're
trying
to
access
the
park
from
maryland,
mccormick
or
old
colony
or
you're
just
trying
to
get
across
day
boulevard
to
get
to
the
beach
it's
kind
of
scary.
If
you're
a
pedestrian
for
bikers.
You
know,
there's
there's
a
lot
going
on.
A
I
can't
even
imagine
trying
to
make
your
way
through
the
traffic
circles,
so
there's
so
much
that
we
kind
of
need
to
look
at
and
we
need
to
kind
of
zoom
out
in
a
larger
contest
context
and
understand
the
issues
and
the
barriers.
So
we
will
continue
to
think
about
that
and
be
at
the
table
when
the
state
is
thinking
about
that,
especially
with
all
the
new
development
that's
happening
in
the
south
and
dorchester
there's,
maybe
a
real
opportunity
to
kind
of
rethink,
how
the
system
works
and
and
make
it
a
lot
better.
A
In
addition,
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
from
our
part
that
we
will
not
only
advocate
from
a
city
level
and
work
with
the
state,
but
we're
also
going
to
be
working
with
pedestrian
and
bike,
focused
organizations
to
figure
out
to
identify
the
barriers
that
people
have
in
order
to
access
the
park
and
the
beach,
and
so
that
we
are
educated
when
we
do
advocate
for
change
and
improvement.
So
I
think
we're
kind
of
looking
at
it
from
the
ground
up
and
then
also
from
kind
of
a
higher
level
advocation.
A
F
And
there's
a
couple
of
follow-up
comments
related
to
day
boulevard
marta
suggesting
that
maybe
it
closes
off
on
weekends
and
holidays
with
no
regular
traffic
like
they
do
in
memorial,
drive
in
cambridge.
It's
an
excellent
suggestion
and
then
braden
is
asking
who
he
should
talk
to
specifically
about
traffic
calming
improvements
on
dave,
boulevard
and
columbia.
Road.
B
F
G
D
D
You
know,
there's
we
love
the
idea
and
and
a
lot
of
that
comes
down
to
just
maintenance
and
management
and
what
kind
of
systems
do
we
have
in
place
to
ensure
that
any
kind
of
fruit,
trees
or
other
other
things
are,
are
able
to
kind
of
coexist
with
other
types
of
program
in
the
park
and
are
safe?
You
know,
and
people
were
able
to
you
know
people
know
kind
of
what
they
can
or
cannot
pick
from
and
use
so.
H
A
It's
fantastic,
it's
a
historic
apple
orchard
and
there's
some
really
great
apple
varieties
there
and
it's
working
well
there.
So
we
are
open
to
we're
open
to
the
idea.
You
know
we're
kind
of
at
the
we're,
not
quite
there
at
that
level,
yet
of
figuring
out
what
trees
are
in
the
park.
But
we
love
to
hear
these
comments
and
think
about.
Is
there
an
appropriate
place
to
include
them
in
the
plan?
So
we'll
take
a
look
at
that.
G
It's
really
great
to
hear
that,
because
there's
so
many
wonderful
fruit
trees
out
there
that
usually
take
like
seven
years
to
grow,
but
most
of
them
are
probably
three
or
four
years
old
now
and
and
if
we
ever
envision
having
edible
fruit
trees
in
the
park.
That
would
be
great
another
envision
that
I've
focused
on
recently
with
my
imagination.
Lately.
G
While
I
look
over
into
the
park,
imagine
if
we
utilize
the
fences
in
the
park,
whether
it's
the
tennis
courts,
the
basketball
courts
or
the
stadium,
and
we
were
to
grow
these
pole
beans
on
the
fences
where
passerbys
can
have
some
food
to
eat,
and
maybe
we
could
gather
bushels
of
beans
to
feed
the
community.
Just
a
thought.
G
F
I
Hi,
I'm
here
from
umass
boston,
I'm
taking
an
environmental
science
course.
Actually,
my
major
is
environmental
science.
So
this
was
a
super
interesting
meeting
and
I
think
you
guys
did
a
wonderful
job
explaining
the
flood
protection
and
the
storm
water
management.
I
like
totally
give
props
to
you,
because
I've
also
lived
in
this
community,
and
I
haven't
seen
that
addressed
as
often
recently,
so
it
was
nice
to
see
someone
bringing
those
problems
up.
I
just
wanted
to
touch
base
on
what
you
meant
about
beach,
restoration
and
maintaining
the
integrity
of
the
beach.
A
I
A
So
in
terms
of
that
piece
of
it,
the
beach
nourishment,
we
really
haven't
gotten
that
far
into
it,
because
it's
it's
not
on
our
property,
but
we
do.
We
recognize
that
people
want
access
to
carson
beach.
They
want
it
to
continue
to
be
a
beach,
so
it
will
be
if
we
did
beach
nourishment
likely.
Most
people
wouldn't
know
that
it
happened,
and
I
think
the
only
thing
that
you
may
recognize
is
that
you
have
maybe
a
little
more
beach
than
you
normally
do.
A
So
I
don't
think
that
people
really
know
that
we
did
it
if
we
did
it,
except
that
we
would
be
providing
another
element
of
protection
and
then
the
dune
restoration.
Again
we
recognize
that
carson.
We
don't
have
a
lot
of
urban
beaches,
it's
really
important
to
protect
those
urban
beaches
for
people.
So
if
we
did
dune
restoration,
it
would
be
again
where
our
ready
dune
restoration
is
happening.
B
Hi,
my
name
is
colin.
I
live
in
a
living
somerville
student
at
tufts,
I'm
just
kind
of
reading
through
and
alice,
and
you
just
kind
of
touched
on
this
a
little
bit,
but
some
of
those
the
the
risk
models,
the
flood
risk
models,
they'll
they'll,
obviously,
change.
I'm
just
wondering
how?
How
is
that
flexibility
from
a
planning
perspective
in
place
like
if
those
models
change
within
the
next
five
ten
years?
As
the
the
you
know,
the
construction
occurs.
A
A
How
often
are
we
going
to
reassess
this,
but
I
can
say
that
our
current
plan
is
looking
out
towards
2070
and
when
the
data
you
know
with
all
the
climate
resiliency
work,
that's
happening
throughout
the
city
that
there
is
going
to
have
to
be
when
new
data
comes
about,
that
we're
going
to
have
to
kind
of
re.
We
do
do
those
models
and
understand.
Are
we
able
to
provide
the
projection
that
we
said
we
were
providing?
A
C
Sure
yeah,
so
we're
we're
working
with
woods,
hole
group
on
the
massachusetts
coast,
flood
risk
model
to
inform
the
design
and
they've
sort
of
run
their
analysis
they're
using
rcp
8.5.
So
it's
already
pretty
conservative
in
that
basic
for
the
baseline
for
the
model.
But
as
part
of
this
we're
really
looking
at
you
know
what
what
is
the
risk
over
time?
C
What
is
the
risk
at
the
end
of
you
know
when
we
be
seeing
reinvestment
in
the
park
anyways
in
the
next
30
to
50
years,
so
that's
part
of
where
we're
looking
at
is.
You
know,
generally
we'll
reinvest
every
30
to
50
years,
so
it
seems
like
a
good
planning
interval
to
pick
as
at
least
for
planning
for
2070
climate
conditions.
C
C
That's
asked
in
every
project
of
if
you
need
to,
can
you
increase
and
that's
some
of
the
images
that
amy
showed
show
this
core
wall
and
that's
a
key
element
of
that
flood
protection
as
well
is
tying
that
into
all
of
the
coastal
landscapes
that
we're
doing
that.
We're
really
looking
to
mitigate
that
wave
action
in
the
park
as
well,
so
that
we're
we're
able
to
lower
the
the
height
overall.
B
Ahead
yeah,
so
I
was
I've
just
been
looking
through
the
the
packet
or
the
slides
that
were
released
a
couple
weeks
ago
in
october,
which,
if
anyone's
here
and
hasn't,
got
a
chance
to
look
at
them.
I
really
recommend
it,
but
I'm
just
kind
of
wondering,
based
on
the
assumptions
for
this
project.
What
you
see
is
like
the
biggest
risk,
that's
being
accepted
and
and
kind
of
recreating
this
and
what's
what's
being
done
to
mitigate
those
risks.
B
Sure
so
I
know
I'm
trying
to
find
it
was
mentioned
earlier
in
this
meeting
kind
of
the
the
priorities
with
with
what
is
trying
to
be
accomplished
here
and
obviously,
with
those
priorities
comes
some
sort
of
trade-off,
and
I
was
wondering
what
kind
of
what
are,
if
any,
some
concerns
with
the
trade-offs
being
made
so
far
in
the
planning
process.
That
might
you
know,
might
not
lead
to
always
the
the
best
results.
A
A
A
So
I
think
that
we're
trying
to
balance
out
you
know
a
lot
of
people
are
like:
why
isn't
there
more
baseball,
wise
and
they're
more
multi-use,
and
so
we're
trying
to
that's
kind
of
the
challenge?
That's
been
the
big
challenges
like
providing
as
many
sports
facilities
as
we
can,
while
also
providing
all
these
other
community
elements
and
resiliency.
So
that's
our
biggest
tradeoff.
I
don't
in
my
mind.
I
don't
think:
we've
had
a
trade-off
with
resiliency
to
this
point.
A
A
From
inland
and
dealing
with
that
situation,
oh
wait.
We
need
to
deal
with
urban
heat
island,
so
let's
throw
that
in
there.
So
we
keep
on
just
adding
all
these
things
and
we
haven't
had
trade-offs.
Yet
now,
when
you
know
when
we
go
to
construct
yes,
we
may
have
to
make
some
trade-offs
and
think
about.
How
do
we
build
this?
How
do
we
get
it
built?
And
maybe
you
know
we
build
a
lower
elevation,
berm
and
then
later
add
on
to
that
or
maybe
around
the
stadium.
A
F
Great
thank
you
and,
following
up
on
that,
there's
been
a
couple
of
questions
related
to
resiliency
and
education.
So
amy
I
was
gonna.
Send
these
to
you.
Does
this
park
work
with
kids
to
teach
them
about
resiliency
and
taking
care
of
nature
at
the
park,
and
that
comes
from
adam
again
and
then
brandon
has
a
question
asking
about
whether
plants
will
be
labeled
to
increase
biophilia
or
informal
learning
great.
D
I
mean,
I
think
the
simple
answer
is
yes:
we
we
love
that
idea
and
we're
really.
You
know.
We
think
that
there's
a
lot
of
opportunity
here
for
learning
both
you
know
from
sort
of
some
of
the
there
are
a
number
of
schools
around
there's
the
new
england
aquarium
does
their
science
under
the
sun
at
the
beach.
D
So
there
are
a
number
of
kind
of
you
know,
programs
that
are
not
necessarily
affiliated
with
the
park
per
se,
but
that
are
nearby
and
could
use
the
park
as
part
of
their
learning
initiatives
and
that
some
of
the
like
the
stormwater
meadows
could
be
a
fantastic
place.
You
know
for
kids
to
learn
about
green
infrastructure
as
well
as
habitat.
You
know,
and
some
of
these
all
of
these
different
co-benefits
that
allison
just
talked
about.
D
Ideally,
you
know
they
are
things
that
when
we
see
them,
we
don't
necessarily
you
know,
we
don't
necessarily
see
them
as
that's
just
resilience.
That's
just
a
wall
protecting
us
from
the
ocean,
it's
a
berm
that
has
all
kinds
of
other
functions,
and
so
we're
able
to
learn
about
a
whole
number
of
different
ways
in
which
we
can
use
kind
of
natural
systems
to
to
help
help
us
be
more
resilient
in
the
future
and
continue
to
you
know
kind
of
enhance,
enhanced
educational
programs.
D
I
think,
additionally,
you
know
there
are
they're
wonderful
programs,
like
the
the
programs
at
the
ali
that
use
the
park,
and
we
certainly
want
those
kids
to
be
able
to
sort
of
be
in
the
park
and
be
learning
from
that
environment.
So
just
the
the
extent
of
the
the
nature
that
is
in
the
park
is
also
kind
of
a
place
for
learning,
which
I
think
also
was
the
com.
D
The
second
part
of
the
question
was
about
labeling
plants,
and
I
think
I'll
echo
something
allison
said
before
you
know
great
idea,
and
we
don't
have
a
plan
for
that
right
now.
If
that's
you
know,
we're
always
up
the
line
from
that,
but
really
appreciate
the
comment,
and
I
think
there
would
be
some
really
fun
ways
in
which
we
could
embed.
D
F
Great
thank
you
and
we've
gotten
a
few
questions
about
program.
It
looks
like
some
people
are
excited
to
hear
more
about
the
skate
park
and
the
waterfront
plaza
on
amphitheater
and
then
jessica
has
a
question
about
play
at
the
site
whether
there
will
be
a
playground.
I
do
just
want
to
flag
that
we
had
a
meeting
last
week
about
community
and
play
and
the
presentation
is
up
on
the
website,
as
we've
noted,
so
you
can
certainly
go
back
and
look
at
that,
but
amy.
D
D
We
want
to
be
enhancing
that
and
having
more
diverse
ways
to
play
throughout
the
park,
and
I
think
you
know
this
speaks
to
what
nita
brought
up
at
the
very
beginning,
about
the
really
the
need
for
kids
to
be
able
to
just
go
across
the
street,
and
you
know,
use
up
some
energy
and
have
some
fun,
and
so
we
are
looking
at
both.
You
know
large
kind
of
large
play
area
as
well
as
kind
of
smaller
play
spaces
throughout
we're.
D
Even
the
kind
of
is
a
little
bit
of
a
resilience
piece
and
a
public
health
piece,
but
the
water,
fountain
and
some
kind
of
cooling
stations
that
we
showed
here
are
really
ways
in
which
again
kids
can
play
they're,
not
formal
playgrounds
but
they're
also
sort
of
ways
to
just
cool
off
on
a
really
hot
day,
especially
as
we
get
into
potentially
kind
of
future
extreme
heat
events.
Those
some
of
those
spaces
will
also
be
beneficial
as
as
kind
of
resilience
measures
as
well.
F
H
H
I
know
I
kind
of
have
like
one
note
in
general
when
I'm
at
these
meetings,
where
I
talk
about
permitting
in
general,
like
because
I'm
also
like
a
singer
and
like
I
saw
like
the
amphitheater,
I
was
like.
Oh
that's
awesome.
I
could
have
my
band
there,
that'd
be
really
cool,
but
then
how
I
get
my
band
there
is
again
a
permit.
H
A
You
just
put
in
a
request,
and
you
can't
even
tell
if
it's
already
taken
and
it
seems
very
challenging
to
use.
So
I
think
that
we
we've
heard
from
this
process-
and
we
kind
of
need
to
think
about
this-
and
maybe
this
is
the
part
to
think
about
some
of
those
challenges,
and
is
there
a
way
for
us
to
work?
Maybe
through
a
you,
know,
non-profit
or
something
to
kind
of
start,
to
think
about
those
permitting
challenges?
A
And
how
do
we
make
sure
that
locals
have
access
to
the
park
and
that
you
know
your
band
can
play
at
the
park
like?
These
are
important
things
because
we
want
to
have
diverse
programming
happening
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
people
feel
like
they
can
use
this
park
and
that
it's
not
just
a
regional
park.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
you
know
you
guys
have
access.
So
there's
a
lot
of
work
ahead
for
us
to
think
about
the
operating
plan,
but
I'm
happy,
as
I've
said,
you
know,
with
dave
boulevard.
A
B
A
A
Perfect
kind
of
end
question
and
then
we
can
go
into
how
to
find
out
more
information
after
this
or
connect
with
me
and-
and
I
also
want
to
recognize-
I
said
a
shout
out
to
counselor
flynn
earlier-
just
because
he's
been
a
part
of
this
process
for
so
long,
but
he
has
joined
us
for
this
meeting.
So
thank
you,
councillor
flynn,
for
being.
G
G
Well,
just
to
segue
back
to
educational
purposes,
I
I
was
recently
thinking
with
the
local
schools,
whether
it's
up
academy,
perkins
school,
the
perry,
boston,
collegian,
the
mccomic,
all
them
schools
that
surround
the
park
during
these
times
of
quarantine.
Staying
in
the
house,
it's
a
great
opportunity
to
have
this
urban
ag
program
where
people,
young
and
old,
can
be
brought
together
in
a
collaborative
effort
to
learn
the
art
and
skills
involved
in
urban
agriculture
and
climate
change
awareness.
G
A
Thanks
george,
I
want
to
acknowledge
I
I
totally
agree
we're
this
park
is
really
situated
well
in
terms
of
transit
access
to
public
transit,
but
then
also
it's
it's
surrounded
by
by
schools
and
so
really
kind
of
tied
into
that
we're
right.
Next
to
umass
I
mean
you
know
we
got
all
these
other
schools,
so
this
is
a
huge
opportunity
for
us.
We
also
have
the
environment
department
and
the
renovate
program,
which
has
done
an
amazing
job
with
kids
and
the
aquarium
with
the
climate
leaders.
A
F
A
A
That
we
have
construction
so
that
really
depends
on
funding
sources.
It's
going
to
take
several
funding
sources
to
to
pay
for
a
park
as
envisioned,
and-
and
so
you
know,
we're
thinking
that
it'll
be
a
phase
construction
over
time.
So
maybe
you
know
phase
one
will
start
two
to
three
years
and
then
we'll
kind
of
you
know
continue
to
build
over
a
10
to
15
year
period.
So
you
know,
I
think,
in
our
minds,
if,
if
we
could
put
it
all
at
once,
that
would
be
the
best
way
to
do
it.
A
But
you
know
we
have
to
be
flexible
and
kind
of
take
advantage
of
different
opportunities
that
come
up.
So
you
know
that
construction
timeline,
hopefully,
will
fluctuate
and
be
at
a
shorter
timeline,
but
right
now
we're
kind
of
imagining
that
it
would
be
a
10
to
15
year
construction
period.
We
also
want
to
balance
out
the
construction
with
the
existing
uses
and
making
sure
that
people
still
have
access
to
the
park
during
construction
for
different
sporting
events,
so
we're
trying
to
kind
of
balance
all
that.
A
So
thank
you.
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
everyone.
That's
participated
tonight.
There's
some
great
questions,
it's
great
to
see
so
many
diverse
voices
here
tonight,
both
in
age
and
and
backgrounds
and
in
places
where
you
come
from
it's
it's
great.
So
I
appreciate
you
coming
out
and
asking
really
thoughtful
questions.
It's
it's.
A
C
A
Of
community
programming,
do
you
want
to
see
what
resilient
strategies
we
should
be?
Thinking
about
that?
Maybe
we
haven't
considered,
you
know
any
of
your
concerns
or
your
great
ideas.
This
is,
as
I
said,
a
community
driven
process,
and
we
think
this
is
going
to
be
a
really
great
park,
because
we've
had
so
many
people
participate
over
the
last
few
years
and
we
look
forward
to
that
process.
A
Continuing
as
we
progress
through
design
and
kind
of
dive,
you
know
deeper
down
into
the
details
of
it,
so
you
can
actually
see
what
this
is
going
to
look
like.
You
could
actually
start
to
feel
what
the
experience
is
going
to
be
like
we're
excited
about
that
process
and
we're
happy
we're
excited
to
share
that
with
you,
so
stay
tuned
and
we
will
keep
our
website
updated
and
we
will
be
coming
back
to
you.
So
thank
you.
