Description
Moakley Park Community Meeting - March 23, 2022
A
I
want
to
acknowledge
those
who
were
able
to
make
this
meeting.
I
know
we
are
all
finding
a
lot
of
immediate
fatigue,
there's
so
much
happening
in
boston.
A
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
staying
tuned
into
what's
happening,
and
so
I
I
get
that
another
meeting
is
hard
to
come
to
so
thanks
for
coming
tonight
and
we'll
try
to
make
it
worth
your
while,
I
think,
just
by
looking
at
the
number
of
participants,
we
understand
how
important
this
park
is
to
everyone,
and
so
thank
you,
and
this
is
really
your
opportunity
to
kind
of
shape
the
park
that
you
use
and
you
live
next
to.
A
B
Mary,
I
know
I'm
here
with
michael
council
of
flaherty's
office
and
just
here
to
listen
and
take
some
notes
for
him
and
thank
you
for
having
us
great.
C
There's
also
someone
here
from
counselor
murphy's
office.
A
Oh
great
okay,
so
we
have
customer
face
office
concert
flaherty.
D
Hi
everyone-
this
is
tripp,
graham
I'm
from
council
at
large
aaron,
murphy's
office,
very
happy
to
be
here
tonight
and
to
listen,
and
we
also.
I
know
this
is
a
review
session,
but
we
can
provide
a
few
links
that
counselor
murphy
is
really
looking
into
some
initiatives:
some
grant
programs,
small
business
grant
programs,
some
things
for
kids
and
some
things
for
the
elderly
that
we
can
share
with
you
all.
If
you
need
to
reach
us
I'll,
put
our
contact
information
in
the
chat.
Thank
you
so
much.
A
Great
thank
you.
I
also
want
to
just
recognize
counselor
flynn
and
representative
beal,
who
have
been
really
active.
Counselor
ruth
z
been
active
with
mogley
park
at
the
event,
so
I
really
appreciate
everyone
coming
out
and
supporting
the
project
and
and
learning
more
about
it.
A
So
before
we
jump
into
our
presentation,
I'd
just
like
to
go
over
a
few,
how
to's
and
what
to
expect?
Can
we
move
to
the
next
slide?
Great
interpretation
was
not
requested
for
this
meeting.
However,
I
just
want
everyone
to
know
that
we
do
offer
interpretation
and
translation
services
to
the
city
of
boston
as
long
as
they're
requested.
So
if
you,
if
you're.
A
Like
that
please
reach
out
to
me,
my
email
is
on
the
slide
there.
I
think
almost
everyone
is
joining
us
via
video,
so
they
can
see
that
great
next
slide,
so
yep,
that's
right,
you're,
recording
and
now
those
who
were
unable
to
attend
tonight.
We
are
recording
the
meeting
and
we'll
post
to
the
project
website.
A
I
also
want
to
acknowledge
that
the
parks
department
continues
to
offer
community
engagement
online,
but
we
are
seeing
some
changes
happening
as
we
start
to
kind
of
reopen
the
city,
and
so
we
would
love
to
hear
your
feedback
in
terms
of
what's
worked
for
you
with
engagement,
what
hasn't
what
you
would
like
to
see
in
the
future,
and
so
if
you
want
to
just
if
there's
something
that
comes
to
mind
now,
you
can
just
add
it
to
the
chat.
Just
you
know,
let
us
know
did
online
work
for
you.
A
Did
it
not
work
for
you?
Let
us
know
your
thoughts
in
the
chat,
otherwise
you
can
just
email
me
as
well.
Next
slide.
A
A
Nice
slide,
so
tonight's
meeting
is
held
in
zoom
meetings
which
allows
us
to
see
each
other,
which
is
which
is
exciting.
It's
a
little
closer
to
in-person
engagement,
not
quite
there,
but
it's
nice
to
see
everybody's
faces
and
to
see
a
lot
of
new
faces
and
some
familiar
faces
so
being
online.
We
ask
for
you
to
follow
a
few
rules
so
that
we
can
make
sure
the
meeting
goes
smoothly.
A
First,
during
the
presentation
portion,
we
ask
you
to
keep
your
microphone
off.
However,
you
can
use
the
non-verbal
responses
which
are
on
the
bottom
of
your
screen,
or
at
least
they're
online
and
they're
the
little
kind
of
reaction
buttons,
and
you
can
let
us
know
how
we're
doing
in
particular.
If
you
like
something,
give
us
a
thumbs
up.
I
often
like
that
one
and
then
also
just
adding
to
the
chat.
A
So
if
something
pops
up
in
your
head
in
terms
of
a
comment
or
a
question,
you
can
go
ahead
and
add
it
to
the
chat.
A
That's
also
at
the
bottom
of
the
screen
there.
If
you're
joining
us
by
phone,
please
press
star
nine
to
raise
your
hand
and
start
sixth
to
unmute
yourself
when
called
upon,
and
please
know
all
questions
will
be
held
to
the
end
or
after
the
presentation
that
takes
care
of
all
the
housekeeping
information.
So
next
slide.
A
So
today
we
I'll
introduce
the
project
team
and
we
will
go
through
a
little
bit
in
terms
of
why
we
think
monkey
is
so
important
and
then
we'll
provide
a
brief
project
overview
of.
What's
what
we've
been
doing,
what
we've
done
in
the
past
and
then
our
design
team
will
present
the
schematic
plan
and
phase
one
design
and
wrap
up
with
next
steps,
at
which
point
we'll
open
up
for
a
question
and
listening
session
next
slide
great.
A
So
I've
already
introduced
myself,
I'm
allison
perlman
and
the
project
manager,
boston
parks
and
we
have
an
exceptional
team
that
supports
my
work
that
I
do
and-
and
so
I
want
to
acknowledge
everyone
here,
commissioner,
from
parks
and
recreation,
ryan,
woods
and
chief
landscape
architect.
Liza
meyer
have
really
been
part
of
the
project
from
the
very
beginning
and
provided
guidance
on
design
operations
and
maintenance
and
park
partnerships.
A
We're
also
joined
by
christine,
who
is
really
our
zoom
expert.
But
she
also
helps
us
for
friends,
friends,
groups
and
supports
park
programs,
and
then
I
also
want
to
recognize,
although
she's
not
on
this,
the
screen,
I
believe,
if
she's
not
here,
she's,
been
really
supportive,
haley
dylan
who's
from
the
mayor's
office
and
neighborhood
services,
who
really
has
helped
us
connect
with
more
people
in
the
neighborhood.
A
I
also
want
to
recognize
our
park
partners,
boston,
harbor
now
and
south
boston,
neighborhood
house.
These
park
champions
help
us
deliver
the
public
realm
you
all
deserve
tonight.
We're
joined
by
boston,
harbor,
now's,
jen
mckeem,
who
is
an
engagement
specialist,
is
helping
us
connect
to
more
residents
on
this
project,
and
then
we
have
our
amazing
design,
team,
weston,
sampson
and
staff.
So
sherry,
do
you
mind
introducing
the
team.
C
Not
at
all,
first
I'd
like
to
introduce
amy
whitesides,
she
is
a
principal
at
stas,
landscape,
urbanism
and
alison
wright,
who
is
operating
as
the
project
manager
on
the
stas
side,
and
we
have
a
bunch
of
folks
from
western
and
samson
on,
but
I'll
stick
to
jonathan
law.
Who
is
the
pm
on
this
project
from
our
side?
And
you
may
hear
from
a
few
other
folks
in
the
presentation
on
the
team
and
I'm
sherry
ruin
the
principal
in
charge
for
westminster.
A
A
But
it's
also
surrounded
by
a
vibrant,
diverse
community,
including
old
colony
and
maryland.
Mccormick
moakley
park
is
60
acres
of
significant
boston,
open
space
which
serves
not
only
south
boston
but
other
boston
neighborhoods.
We
believe
that
park
can
continue
to
provide
recreation
and
also
reconnect
the
community
to
each
other
and
the
waterfront
next
slide.
A
A
So
next
I
kind
of
want
to
go
into
where
we've
been
previous
to
early
2021,
but
before
we
do
that,
I
would
love
to
kind
of
understand
who's
in
the
room.
I
see
a
lot
of
familiar
names.
I
see
some
new
names,
so
I
just
want
to
get
a
sense
of
how
you've
engaged
or
if
this
is
your
first
time.
So
if
you
remember
that
ray's
hand
is
in
the
bottom
icon
and
if
everyone
who
has
participated
in
at
least
one
community
meeting,
could
you
raise
your
hand.
A
A
A
A
Okay
and
put
down
your
hands
and
then
finally,
this
is
my
last
question
and
then
I'll
leave
you
guys
alone
until
the
end.
But
can
you
raise
your
hand?
This
is
the
first
time
that
you're
engaging
on
the
mowgli
park
project
in
terms
of
a
meeting
or
an
event.
You
haven't
done
any
of
these.
This
is
the
first
time
you're
hearing
about
oakley
park.
A
A
Well,
you
know
there
is
not
a
lot
of
people
raising
your
hands
and
I
don't
know
if
it's
because
you
just
don't
know
how
to
use
an
icon.
Hopefully
that's
not
the
case
but
there's
you
know,
there's
a
handful
of
new
people,
but
a
lot
of
people
have
been
joining
us
along
the
way
and
so
that's
fantastic,
and
I
welcome
the
new
people
that
have
joined
the
conversation
because
we
are
so
open
to
having
more
people
come
into
this
conversation
great.
A
So,
as
you
can
see
from
this
slide
from
2018
to
early
2021,
we
did
a
lot
of
engagement.
It
was
a
multi-faceted
strategy.
A
Many
of
you
have
gone
to
these
events,
but
it
kind
of
ranged
from
public
traditional
meetings,
open
houses
to
bike
rides
and
going
to
events
and
talking
to
people,
organizations
and
talking
to
people,
and
that
really
has
opened
up
our
opportunities
in
terms
of
planning
for
the
park
right
understanding,
what's
really
important
to
people
and
really
learning
from
the
experts
of
our
neighborhoods.
A
What
is
important
to
you
so
next
slide,
so
this
engagement
led
to
the
collective
creation
of
goals
and
values
for
the
monthly
park
project
act,
the
foundation
of
which
is
creating
a
more
inclusive
and
accessible
park.
Within
this
framework,
we
seek
to
foster
a
highly
engaging
and
active
park.
Experience,
develop
community
driven,
culturally
relevant
programming
and
promote
public
health
and
social
connection
and
create
a
safe
and
well
maintained
resilient
park.
A
The
team
also
reviewed
the
design
through
modeling
to
see
how
it
would
handle
future
conditions,
including
coastal
and
storm
water
and
groundwater
conditions,
and
this
work
continues.
It's
a
lot
of
work.
We
really
want
to
make
sure
that
we
understand
these
conditions
and
we
build
a
park
that
will
last
for
many
decades
decades.
Sorry
centuries,
so
you'll
see
this
work
starting
again
april.
18Th
there'll
be
some
equipment
on
site,
we're
very
careful
on
not
trying
to
interrupt
any
of
the
recreation.
A
So,
in
addition,
we've
been
developing
a
plan
on
how
to
manage
and
care
for
this
park.
Once
complete,
we've
met
with
many
organizations
and
non-profits
to
understand
what
is
the
right
fit
for
mobley?
How
can
public
private
non-profit
partnerships
help
to
deliver
care
for
mobley
which
exceeds
what
we've
we've
provided
in
the
past
at
montlick?
A
A
We've
also
been
busy
coordinating
with
other
city
departments
and
state
agencies.
Honestly,
this
is
a
huge
list,
but
I
believe
that
we've
probably
been
coordinated
with
more
and,
as
you
all
know,
there's
a
lot
of
planning
efforts
happening.
So
while
these
efforts
are
outside
parked
jurisdiction,
we've
heard
how
important
it
is
to
the
community
for
the
city
and
the
state
to
think
about
this
area
comprehensively,
and
so
we
are
doing
that.
We're
making
sure
that
we
are
in
conversations
where
these
mini
plans
are
happening
next
slide.
A
And,
finally,
the
you
know.
The
early
work
from
2021
to
present
also
includes
these
kind
of
early
action
items.
A
We've
heard
how
important
maintenance
and
programming
is
to
the
community
and,
as
a
result,
our
partnerships,
the
boston
harbor
now
and
south
boston
neighborhood
house-
have
helped
us
deliver
an
array
of
park
events
and
volunteer
activities
this
past
year.
Some
of
these
events
include
the
mary
moakley
event,
winter
warmer
moakley
park
and
carson
beach
summer
send-off
park
planting
summer
youth
engagement
talks
and
moakley
park
cleanups.
These
cleanups
are
starting
back
up
again
this
saturday,
so
we
could
add
the
link
for
the
events
for
the
the
park
cleanups
to
the
chat.
A
That
would
be
great
in
case.
You
guys
want
to
join
us
and
then
finally,
the
creation
of
a
moakley
park
community
garden,
our
partner
around
table
inc,
has
secured
a
grant
to
the
mayor's
office
of
food
access
to
help
folks
grow
food,
reconnect
community
and
share
garden
steps.
A
E
Thanks
alison,
if
we
can
perfect
thank
you
so
as
what
you
can
see
here
is
the
current
schematic
design
plan
for
the
park
as
alison
mentioned,
it's
built
off
the
feedback
that
we
got
along
the
way
and
is
designed
to
address
a
number
of
the
kind
of
issues
and
opportunities
that
allison
just
covered
I'll
run.
You
through
a
couple
highlights
here
and
then
a
number
of
slides
where
we'll
get
into
a
little
bit
more
detail.
E
A
number
of
these
for
those
of
you
who
have
been
here
before
a
number
of
the
highlights
in
blue
have
been
in
the
plan
for
a
long
time.
Things
like
increasing
biodiversity,
increasing
tree
canopy,
improving
play
areas
restrooms
and
the
flood
management
alignment,
and
a
few
new
kind
of
great
highlights
that
came
out
with
out
of
conversations
with
you.
E
Are
this
harbor
overlook
and
a
place
for
kind
of
picnic
and
barbecues
the
entry
plaza
as
a
space
for
events
and
food
trucks
and
farmers
markets,
and
then
the
community
garden
kind
of
at
this
gateway
here
for
for
the
park
where
it
says
certain,
you
can't
see
my
cursor
where
it
says
garden
gateway
yeah.
E
Thank
you
and
then
the
waterfront
plaza
and
amphitheater
again
another
place
for
kind
of
markets,
trucks,
those
kinds
of
things
that
we
heard
a
lot
of
interest
in
next
slide
in
plan
just
looking
at
that
all
in
a
different
view,
the
red
line
there
gives
you
a
better
sense
of
where
that
coastal
flood
protection
barrier
is
going
through
the
park.
E
In
addition,
here
you
can
start
to
see
where
some
of
the
kind
of
restrooms
and
areas
for
parking
are
really
dispersed
throughout
the
park
that
maybe
is
harder
to
see.
In
the
other
view,
the
park
is
really
developed
with
the
goal
of
welcoming
a
really
broad
range
of
users.
So
I'll
run
you
through
a
series
of
examples
of
how
these
maybe
different
kinds
of
visitors
might
experience
the
park.
So
if
we
go
to
the
next
slide,
starting
off
with
a
family.
E
So
as
an
example,
the
pathway
is
dashed
in
red
here
are
show
three
different
connections
from
what
we
see
as
primary
points
of
access
into
the
park
so
from
mary
allen,
mccormick
and
old
colony
and
even
andrew
t,
as
well
as
jfkt
to
the
south
and
then
over
to
the
beach.
So
people
come
really
coming
to
and
from
carson.
E
E
Then
there's
the
what
we're
calling
the
garden
gateway,
which
has
houses
the
community
gardens,
but
also
some
other
great
activities
that
I'll
talk
about
in
a
minute
and
then
on
the
waterfront.
The
waterfront
plaza,
which
again
experience
you
know,
has
some
water
play
and
space
for
community
gathering,
probably
one
of
the
most
exciting
spaces
for
a
family?
E
Again,
I
want
to
point
out
that
restrooms
and
cooling
stations
for
hot
days,
as
well
as
some
kind
of
smaller
informal
play
areas,
are
also
dispersed
along
these
different
pathways.
E
The
next
slide,
as
I
mentioned,
the
adventure
play
area,
as
you
can
see
here,
is
really
kind
of
one
of
the
more
exciting
moments
for
families
and
it's
really
about
a
place
where
there's
a
lot
of
natural
elements
and
different
types
of
play,
equipment
for
for
really
people
of
all
ages.
E
The
next
kind
of
primary
user
we
want
to
talk
about
is
the
athlete.
So
athletics
is,
of
course,
an
important
part
of
the
park
today.
It
remains
at
the
core
of
the
park
moving
forward
and,
in
addition
to
the
multi-use
baseball,
softball
little
league
and
football
fields
that
are
there
today
and
we're
retaining.
E
There
are
also
we're
adding
in
a
running
track
that
runs
around
the
park
edge
in
blue
kind
of
a
series
of
walkways
or
walking
pathways,
including
like
this
sort
of
yellow
community
path,
that's
adjacent
to
the
running
path,
and
then
the
series
of
little
blue
dashed
lines
are
kind
of
different
circuits
that
someone
walking
might
might
come
enjoy
in
the
park.
E
In
addition,
we've
added
a
skate
park
and
then
we're
also
kind
of
reorganized
a
little
bit
some
of
the
basketball
and
tennis
courts,
and
but
those
are
remaining
in
the
park
as
as
is
the
street
hockey,
which
will
remain
in
its
current
location
today.
E
Next
slide.
Oh,
oh
sorry,
one
important
thing
to
say
about
that
is
that
on
all
of
these,
many
of
these
surfacing
and
lighting
will
be
improved
through
the
changes
in
the
park
and,
very
importantly,
storm
water
management.
So
the
fields
are
no
longer
flooding
when
it
rains
and
the
surfaces
are
really
well
adapted
to
the
types
of
uses
that
we've
heard
from
yuan.
E
Great.
So
next
slide,
so
the
stadium
will
remain
in
its
current
location
for
the
most
part,
with
some
renovations
that
are
needed
in
order
to
upgrade
the
structure,
and
this
will
allow
it
to
continue
to
serve
the
recreational
needs
that
it
it
already
serves.
E
So
the
community,
you
know,
there's
a
very
wide
range
of
kind
of
activities
that
are
intended
for
building
community
and
creating
sort
of
community
focused
events.
E
This
includes
the
stadium
space
that
I
just
mentioned
in
addition
to
the
plazas
that
I
described
earlier,
so
three
key
assets
that
I
want
to
just
focus
in
on
here
are
the
community
gardens
that
are
at
the
entryway
closest
to
mary,
ellen
mccormack
and
we'll
be
working
closely
with
the
community
on
developing
those.
As
we
move
forward
the
community
building
itself,
which
is
in
the
plaza
near
preble
circle,
the
community
building,
is
really
centered
around.
E
You
know
the
ability
to
host
events
here
birthday
parties
games
and
also
to
be
able
to
act
as
kind
of
a
resiliency
hub,
so
emergency
services
vaccines.
These
kinds
of
things
might
be
able
to
be
offered
out
of
that
building
in
the
future
and
then,
lastly,
the
overlook
and
barbecue
areas.
Another
really
great
community
space
where
people
can
come
together
and
if
you
go
to
the
next
slide,.
E
This
is,
you
know,
a
view
looking
from
that
that
community
barbecue
area
and
the
overlook,
where
really
you
can
see
into
the
coastal
landscape,
that's
on
the
waterfront
side
of
the
coastal,
the
berm
that
is
operating
as
coastal
flood
protection,
and
then
you
know-
and
you
can
see
out
into
the
harbor.
So
this
is
really
kind
of
an
amazing
space
where
community
can
really
gather
together
in
the
park.
E
E
A
variety
of
more
passive
activities
and
opportunities
for
discovery
are
also
planned
within
the
park.
So
the
coastal
dunes
that
we
are
just
looking
at
from
the
overlook
on
the
harbor
side
of
the
park
will
promote
nature
walks
and
bird
watching
while
table
games.
Bocce
adult
swings,
and
things
like
that
can
take
place
in
the
garden
gateway
plaza
that
I've
mentioned
before.
E
All
these
spaces
are
intended
to
allow
for
connection
and
play,
and
then
we
have
also
a
series
of
kind
of
smaller
gardens
and
a
number
of
different
types
of
places
to
sit
and
relax
that
are
dispersed
throughout
next
slide.
Please
this.
This
image,
then,
is
giving
you
a
sense
of
what
it's
like
to
cross
the
street.
This
is
crossing
old
colony
from
the
mary
ellen
mccormick
side
of
the
park.
You
know
entering
the
park
into
this
kind
of
garden
gateway.
E
E
E
So
you
can
see
here
in
addition
to
the
coastal
barrier,
we're
really
looking
a
lot
at
stormwater
management
as
a
critical
piece
of
part
of
the
infrastructure
of
the
park,
as
well
as
just
tree
canopy,
and
how
can
we
expand
the
canopy
moving
forward,
both
in
more
trees
but
also
different,
more
different
types
of
trees,
so
there's
just
more
diversity
and
a
little
bit
more
kind
of
shade
and
places
to
cool
off
on
a
hot
day
next
place.
E
So
again,
as
I
mentioned
before
this
kind
of
coastal
flood
protection,
you
know
what
is
that?
That's
essentially
what
you
see
here
on
the
left,
where
it
says
core
wall.
That's
a
wall,
that's
basically
running
through
the
park,
but
is
embedded
in
the
landscape,
so
you'll
never
really
see
it
as
a
wall.
It'll
look
like
topography
within
the
park.
Just
like
you
see
it
here
where,
in
this
instance,
this
is
at
the
waterfront
plaza
the
wall
in
front
of
the
wall.
E
Is
this
nice
kind
of
landscape
berm
and
then
on
the
back
side
at
kind
of
amphitheater?
If
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
that
amphitheater
and
the
plaza
in
front
of
it
really
are
then
allowed
to
flood
in
you
know
a
large
storm
in
the
future,
so
this
is
assuming
kind
of
40
inches
of
sea
level
rise.
You
know
many
years
from
now,
but
it
will
allow
us
to
kind
of
protect
all
the
fields
and
all
the
other
exciting
the
play
that
lie
behind
this.
E
E
Lastly,
just
this
is
really
you
can
see
that
core
wall
running
the
length
of
the
park
down
from
the
foreground
here
down
to
the
stadium,
and
you
can
really
get
the
sense
of
how
it's
really
embedded
in
the
landscape
and
that
there's,
then,
these
really
coastal
landscapes
and
dunes
that
are
promoting
sort
of
passive
recreation
on
the
waterfront
side
and
connecting
to
the
beach
areas
to
be
up
at
the
highest
point
where
you
really
get
a
view
out
to
the
harbor
and
then
on
the
community
side
of
the
that
berm.
E
We
have
all
of
the
fields
the
play
area
and
then
the
last
thing
that
I
think
is
really
important
is
this:
building
that
we
see
in
the
foreground,
which
is
a
new
operations
and
maintenance
building?
That's
really
making
a
commitment
to
maintaining
this
park
and
really
keeping
the
investment
in
top
shape
and
having
a
kind
of
a
continuous
presence
of
care
at
the
park.
E
So
with
that,
I
think
I'll
turn
it
over
to
sherry.
Thanks.
C
And
I
think
yep
perfect,
so
I'm
gonna
talk
just
very
briefly
about
the
first
phase
of
work,
which
we
are
really
excited
to
get
started
on,
and
that
is
the
area
that
you
see
outlined
on
this
slide
right
here,
and
the
next
slide
is
a
bit
of
a
zoom
in
on
that
and
really
amy
just
walked
you
through
a
lot
of
the
programming.
So
I'm
just
gonna
do
a
a
brief
summary.
C
You
can
stay
on
the
zoom
in
pharah
thanks,
so
you
can
see
here
that
that
phase
really
does
include
that
coastal
landscape,
that
you
just
saw
a
view
of
that's
closest
to
day
boulevard
and
that's
the
naturalized
systems
with
boardwalks
and
the
overlook
on
the
edge.
The
old
harbor
overlook
that
you
saw
with
barbie
areas
for
barbecue
and
picnicking.
C
There
will
be
a
section
of
the
berm,
that's
constructed
in
this
first
phase
and
that's
the
red
dashed
line,
and
that
is
the
flood
protection
measure,
and
actually
this
edge
of
the
park
is
one
of
the
more
vulnerable
edges.
And
so
this
is
one
of
the
reasons
that
this
phase
is
being
implemented
first
and
then,
just
on
the
other
side
of
the
barrier.
C
There
will
be
parking
and
storage
areas
for
the
o
m
operations,
a
community
plaza,
which
you
can
see
a
precedent
image
of
above
and
then
the
premier
baseball
field,
which
will
have
scoreboard
and
lighting
and
batting
cages
and
bleachers,
and
all
of
the
pertinences
needed
to
really
put
put
out
a
top-notch
ball
field.
And
we
know
that
that
has
been
a
long
sought-after
resource
in
south
boston
and
at
the
park
so
stitching.
C
There
will
be
underground:
storm
water
chambers
under
the
ball
field,
some
of
the
storm
water
management
systems
in
the
dune
landscape,
and
also
some
of
the
the
tree
plantings,
are
going
to
be
helping
to
reduce
urban
heat
island
effect.
C
So
what
is
the
community
plaza
really
looking
like
what
are
some
of
the
details
of
the
of
the
more
naturalized
landscape,
those
types
of
questions
or
things
that
we're
going
to
be
asking
you
to
give
us
feedback
on
materials
that
we'll
present?
Based
on
that
information?
We
will
push
forward
with
construction
documents
and
those
are
essentially
drawings
and
specifications
that
allow
us
to
then
go
out
to
bid
which
would
be
happening
in
about
the
third
quarter
of
2023.
C
And
then
the
goal
is
to
have
construction
starting
right
around
the
end
of
2023,
beginning
of
2024,
and
while
all
of
this
is
happening,
environmental
permitting
will
be
concurrently
ongoing
and
so
that's
meeting
with
all
of
the
various
agencies
that
need
to
weigh
in
on
the
changes
that
we're
proposing.
So
they
can
evaluate
the
the
drawings
themselves
and
make
sure
that
all
of
the
interventions
are
approved,
and
so
that
happens
all
at
the
same
time
and
all
of
these
processes
are
informing
each
other.
C
And
I
think
so,
just
so
folks
have
an
understanding
of
what
next
steps
are.
As
I
mentioned
the
community
meeting
in
june,
you
will
be
seeing
action
out
at
the
site.
We
have
borings
and
site
inspections,
that'll
be
going
on
actually
in
the
next
couple
weeks.
C
As
I
mentioned,
the
permitting
is
going
to
be
happening
and
then
we'll
get
into
phase
one
construction,
but
we
will
be
back
in
front
of
you
in
june,
after
you've
seen
the
boring
rigs
out
there
and
that'll
actually
provide
us
with
some
more
information
that
we'll
be
able
to
share
with
you
and
that
will
help
inform
the
design
as
well
and
with
that,
I
believe,
I'd
ask
yeah
allison
if
I
missed
anything
chime
in
amy.
If
there's
anything
else,
we
should
include,
but
I
think
that
I'll
hand
it
off
to
you
also.
A
Yeah,
thank
you,
sherry.
I
want
to
make
sure
we
have
plenty
of
time
for
questions
and.
B
A
A
You
so
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
all
the
feedback
that
we've
heard
in
2018.
Until
this
point,
we've
had
so
many
conversations,
whether
it's
through
meetings
or
one-on-one,
understanding
kind
of
what's
really
important
to
the
community,
and
so
with
respect
to
all
of
that
work,
that's
happened.
You
know
it's.
I
want
to
kind
of
elevate
that
that
has
really
given
us
the
plan
that
you
see
today
and
also
there's
still
so
much
room
for
people
to
join
in
this
conversation
and
let.
B
A
Doing
there's
also
kind
of
more
specific
ideas
and
those
specific
ideas
really
start
coming
out
in
these
phase
construction
document
design
periods
where
people
are
like,
do
you
have
any
benches
with
shade?
So
those
are
the
things
that
we
really
want
to
hear
from
people.
What's
really
important
to
you
in
the
details
and
it
seems
to
be.
F
A
Everyone's
really
kind
of
focused
on
those
as
well,
so
we're
excited
to
hear
from
you
I
kind
of
want
to
just
open
it
up.
We
can
maybe
kick
it
off
with
a
couple
of
chat
questions
and
then,
if
people
have
questions,
please,
if
you
want
to
just
raise
your
hands,
we
can
call
on
you
as
well,
and
you
can
ask
them
directly.
F
F
E
So
so
now
I
think
your
sound
is
is
a
little
bit
difficult.
It's
coming
through
a
little.
F
All
right,
so
I
was
just
asking:
was
there
any
thoughts
about
expanding
the
number
of
tennis
courts
and
then
the
second
feedback
is
currently
as
they
stand?
They
get
pretty
packed
during
the
summer.
A
D
Here,
but
so
what
I,
what
I
hear
from
you.
A
Is
one
you're
saying
hey,
we
love
tennis
and
it
doesn't
seem
like
there's
enough
time
for
people
to
play
and
because
there's
such
such
a
demand.
So
basically
what
we're
trying
to
understand
we're
trying
to
come
up
with
kind
of
a
plan.
A
F
The
other
thing
that
I
just
wanted
to
give
I'm
sorry
the
other
thing
I
just
wanted
to
give
feedback
in
the
past.
I
have
noticed
when
the
city
creates.
You
know
these
parks
for
kids
and
water
areas.
A
Thank
you.
We
are
considering
all
those
things
and
we're
thinking
about
how
do
we
again,
I
mentioned
in
part
partnership.
So
how
do
we
program
the
space
from
morning
to
night
so
that
there's
a
lot
of
different
folks,
whether
it's
kids,
all
up
to
the
you
know,
100
years
of
age
and
starting
to
bring
more
people
to
the
park
so
in
some
ways
that
deter
some
of
that
behavior
and
you
know,
there's
also
so
many
spaces
within
this
park.
A
F
A
E
If
I
could
just
also
add,
I
think,
sonal
had
asked
a
question
in
the
chat
that
was
a
good
one,
that
was
about
plans
for
an
enclosed
building
or
something
that
could
be
used
all
around.
And
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
that
that
community
building
that
I
mentioned
a
couple
times
in
the
kind
of
preble
circle
plaza
that
building
is
intended
to
be
something
that
could
be
used
all
year
round.
So
just
just
to
answer
that.
H
I
said
I
met
you
perry.
Thank
you.
First
of
all,
thank
you
for
all
the
work
that's
gone
into
this
and
a
little
shout
out
of
thank
you
to
allison
for
all
of
her
hard
work
and
listening
to
everybody
with
their
concerns
and
wish
lists
and
all
the
rest,
and
that
includes
me
I'm
trying
to
get
a
better
feel
for
what
this
park
is
going
to
look
like
closer
to
where
I'm
located
and
what
my
particular
interest
is,
which
is
andrew
square.
H
I've
been
kind
of
pretty
clear.
I
think
from
the
start
of
this
about
hoping
that
there's
area
carved
out
near
our
neighborhood,
where
we
can
have
just
a
local
park,
not
sports
fields
and
all
of
that,
but
a
place
where
we
can
go
with
a
folding
chair
and
a
football
and
hang
out
on
a
sunday
and
have
some
open
space.
H
C
Yeah
and
far,
if
we
could
jump
back
to
that
overall
aerial.
C
Yeah
sure
that's
great
so
amy
do
you
want
to
jump
in
yeah.
E
Yeah,
so
there
are
a
few
I
think
you
know
the
goal
really
in
many
ways
is
to
have
a
lot
of
different
experiences
dispersed
throughout
the
park.
You
know
because,
for
I
think,
for
the
reason
you
described,
people
are
really
coming
from
a
lot
of
different
places,
and
so
we
want
you
know
we
want
to
have
a
variety
of
experiences
as
you
move
through
the
park
and
also
so
that
you
know
someone
might
come
and
kind
of
spend
a
day.
You
know
have
a
different
kinds
of
activities.
E
So
what
you
see
a
few
places
that
I
think
get
at
what
you're
asking
them
about
are
right
at
the
preble
circle
area,
there's
kind
of
an
entry
plaza
area,
that's
where
the
community
building
is
that's,
maybe
a
little
bit
more.
I
mean
it
it'll
change
in
character
right,
depending
on
the
day.
If
it's
a
day
when
there
are
food
trucks
or
a
farmer's
market,
it
might
be
a
little
bit
more
of
an
active
space,
but
there's
also
some.
E
You
know
softer
landscapes
and
planting
that
are
kind
of
integrated
in
and
around
that,
so
it
could
be
a
place
where
you
know
you
are
just
someone
might
on
a
on
a
non-market
day.
You
might
be,
might
be
quieter
and
more
of
a
relaxing
kind
of
space
just
to
the
south,
from
that
is
the
garden
gateway
area
which
involves
the
community
gardens
and
then
also
a
pretty
good
area
of
that.
That
is
some
intended
to
be
more
like
lightweight
kinds
of
seats.
E
You
know,
table
games,
things
like
this
in
and
among
the
trees,
so
kind
of
a
nice
shaded
place
to
just
sit
and
relax
at
the
edges
of
all
of
those
areas
are
some
sort
of
you
know,
softer
kind
of
greener
elements
of
the
the
park
jumping
so
and
then
one
other
area
that
is
on
this
side
of
the
park
kind
of
closer
to
the
andrew
square
area.
Is
this:
what's
called
the
community
plaza
right
now?
E
That
is,
I
think,
as
sherry
described,
that's
one
that
is
not
yet
really
fully
designed
and
something
that
we
want
to
as
we
go
into
the
phase
one
process,
something
that
we
really
want
to,
let
it
evolve
and
kind
of
as
we
get
input,
you
know
what
what
is
it?
What
is
it
that
the
community
that's
closest
to
this
area?
You
know
the
old
colony
area
and
and
andrew
folks
from
andrew
area
really
want
you
know.
E
E
Is
this
beachfront
flex
field?
That's
really,
you
know
a
lawn
where
you
know
you
could
come
and
throw
a
frisbee
around
with
friends.
If
not
it's
not
programmed
it's
not
intended
to
be
for
game.
You
know
specific
types
of
athletic
events
and
that
kind
of
thing
and
then,
of
course,
the
the
overlook
and
barbecue
and
picnic
area
again
is
a
place
where
you
really
do
get
a
really
nice
view
of
the
coastal
landscapes.
A
And
I
just
I
want
to
add
looking
at
the
planned
view,
it
feels
like
these
spaces
are
small
adjacent
to
the
sports
fields
that
they're
next
to
but
they're,
actually
really
big
and
we've
looked
at
them.
Unfortunately,
we
don't
have
an
image
tonight
in
the
in
this
slide
deck.
That
shows
that
plaza
area,
but
it's
actually
pretty
big
and
we
keep
on
going
back
and
be
like.
Is
this?
The
right
feel
is
this.
You
know
this
is
maybe
too
big.
A
Let's
figure
out,
let's
pull
it
here
and
pull
it
there
and
push
it,
but
this
is
really
it's
a
it's
a
space
that
has
a
lot
happening
and
it
has
like
a
small
playground
and
it
has
a
water
play
element,
and
it
has
all
these
really
fun,
exciting
things
and
it's
a
place
where
people
can
also
go.
A
You
know
for
the
farmers
market
or
you
know,
just
go
and
meet
neighbors,
and
so
I
think
it
also,
as
amy
mentioned
it's
next
to
the
community,
a
resiliency
hub
where
that
kind
of
opens
up
and
can
provide
a
space
for
the
community
together
as
well.
A
So
these
spaces,
while
they
look
dwarfed
next
to
the
large
fields,
they're,
actually
pretty
big,
and
you
don't
want
them
too
big,
because
they're
going
to
feel
a
little
bit
awkward
if
it's
not
like
big
crowds
gathering,
and
so
I
think,
as
we
jump
into
those
phases,
we
can
start
to
kind
of
give.
You
a
feel
for
that
experience
and
I
think
you'll
find
that
there
are
some
really
exciting
design
elements
that
are
close
to
andrew
square.
C
G
Oh,
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
taking
my
question.
Slash
comment.
I
just
want
to
say,
as
someone
who
has
lived
on
the
opposite
side
of
south
boston,
the
far
east
side
of
of
town
that
moved
here
in
2012
to
preble
andrews
square
area
when
everyone
thought
I
was
bat,
you
know
what
crazy
this
is.
G
It's,
unfortunately,
the
first
time
I've
been
able
to
join
one
of
these
calls,
but
I've
been
following
the
project
and
I
for
one,
am
really
excited
and
think
that
the
work
you
guys
are
doing
right
here
is
nothing
short
of
herculean
to
get
it
hopefully
to
where
this
these
slides
are
to
from
where
it
is
now
is
going
to
be
just
absolutely
incredible
for
the
the
entire
community-
and
I
think,
just
just
a
kudos
to
you,
because
there's
never
gonna
be
enough
enough.
Tennis,
courts,
there's
never
gonna
be
enough.
G
B
H
Hey
there,
sorry,
it's
me
again.
I
didn't
get
to
finish
my
questions,
so
I
apologize
for
coming
back
in.
I
have
a
few
more
questions
about
this
number
one.
Can
you
speak
to
parking,
which
I
think
could
impact
our
neighborhood
quite
a
bit
wondering
what,
where
you
are
seeing
parking
options
in
this
plan?
A
Sure
I
can
take
that
question
so
on
the
the
plan
here
you
see
the
can
someone
show
what
their
cursor
worry.
The
parking
areas
are
sorry
go
back
to
good
minute.
B
A
A
Okay,
so
we
have,
you
can
see
the
gray
with
the
p
are
areas
where
we're
showing
parking,
so
we
have
parking
adjacent
to
the
o
m
building.
We
have
parking
next
to
the
community,
building
parking
next
to
that
southern
end,
near
the
stadium
and
then
parking
on
the
other
side
of
the
stadium.
But
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
that
you
know
the
city
is
really
looking
at.
How
do
we
minimize
car
trips
to
different
areas?
B
B
A
We
have
a
lot
of
bus
routes
that
run
along
old
colony,
and
so
those
are
the
things
that
we're
really
going
to
be
thinking
about.
How
do
we
really
encourage
people
to
be
using
and
accessing
these
systems
and
the
bike?
The
bike
pathways?
So
that's
kind
of
a
piece
of
it
is
how
do
we
think
about
with
the
programming
that
we're
going
to
be
doing
in
events
and
different
kind
of
recreation?
A
And
how
do
we
start
to
have
that
conversation
and
make
it
so
that
that's
a
easier
solution
for
people
and
part
of
that
is
just
rethinking
some
of
the
connections
right
because
coming
from
jfk
is
very,
very
difficult,
especially
if
you're
lugging,
a
bunch
of
you
know
gear
and
or
your
picnic
basket,
and
so
we're
kind
of
we're
working
with
a
lot
of
pedestrian,
focused
organizations
and
thinking
about
those
access
connections
and
thinking
about
how
we
elevate
these
concerns
to
the
folks
that
that's
within
their
jurisdiction,
so
whether
it's
btd
or
the
state
mass
dot
or
dcr
and.
G
A
A
B
A
So
there's
those
options
as
well
and
then
we're
working
with
our
kind
of
partners
off
site
and
thinking
about.
If
there's
a
big
event,
is
there
a
way
that
we
can
think
about
using
parking
off
hours
for
certain
events,
so
we're
thinking
about
all
of
those
things,
because
we
really
acknowledge
that
there
is
a
community
here.
We
don't
want
to
try
to
imply
that
we
are
building.
D
H
Do
you
know
how
many
cars
those
parking
lots
are
going
to
accommodate?
H
B
A
Head
amy,
maylor.
H
The
other
questions
I
have
are
the
programming
aspect
of
this.
Are
you
hiring
somebody
to
program
for
moakley?
Is
that
how
it's
going
to
work,
or
you
know
how?
How
is
that
going
to
happen?
The
programming
piece?
A
More
programming
through
partnerships,
we
think
that
that's
going
to
continue
to
think
about
how
do
we
partner
with
all
the
great
organizations
that
are
around
here
and
so
we're
continuing
to
do
that?
We've
done
that
with
boston
harper.
Now,
we've
done
that
with
south
boston,
neighborhood
house
and
we're
seeing
a
lot
of
excitement
around
that.
I
think
at
the
level.
B
B
A
Need
to
think
about
that's
kind
of
where
I
was
going
with
the
governance
structure
and
thinking
about
what
does
that
look
like
what
does
the
maintenance
and
the
programming
look
like
to
kind
of
meet
that
need
and
so
parks
department
simply
can't
do
all
of
that
on
our
own
and
we're
going
to
have
to
partner,
and
that
may
be
in
the
form
of
a
formation
of
a
friends
group
or
a
non-profit,
to
kind
of
meet
that
need,
and
that's
what
we're
looking
at
right
now
is
one.
What
would
that
look
like
and
then
two?
H
H
Yeah,
I
understand
that
you
have
a
community
garden,
but
I'm
not
sure
how
those
spots
are
being
sort
of
allotted
or
lotteried,
and
I'm
wondering
if,
if
there's
an
opportunity
to
expand
that
so
more
people
have
access.
A
Sure
so,
right
now
we're
kind
of
using
the
model
of
collaboration,
gardening,
and
so
no
one
person
owns
a
bed.
This
has
worked
really
well
in
communities
where
you
know
we're
seeing
that
people
a
lot
of
people
really
want
to
come
together
and
to
garden
together.
But
often
you
know
there's
just
not
enough
space,
and
so
really
anyone
who
wants
to
participate
in
the
garden
can
as
long
as
they
understand.
A
This
is
a
collaboration
and
that
you
know
you
grow
food
together
and
you
pick
food
together
and-
and
so
I
think,
if
people
are
interested,
yes,
they
should
reach
out
and
we
can
connect
them
with
the
right
folks
to
be
part
of
that.
In
addition,
this
is
just
the
one
that
we
have
outside
is
a
pilot
project,
and
so
we're
looking
at
how
that
works.
Is
it
big
enough?
Would
we
need
more
space?
And
so
you
know.
H
A
Kind
of
revisit
that
and
see
like
do.
We
need
to
expand
the
pilot.
I
know
that
george
from
round
table
would
love
to
do
that,
but
we
haven't
even
built
the
existing
one
yet,
but
then
also,
how
does
that
impact
the
overall
design
of
where
the
community
garden's
gonna
go
and
thinking
about
the
size
of
that
as
well?.
A
A
Question-
and
I
love
that
you
said
piecing
together,
because
that
is
a
huge
piece
of
it
right
is
that
there
it
is
it's
going
to
take
a
lot,
and
I
think
that
what
we're
looking
at
is
one
you
know,
phase
one.
We
kind
of
think
that
we
we
understand
where
that
funding
can
come
from
and
that's
kind
of
a
mix
of
different
types
of
you
know,
city
and
state
federal.
Hopefully,
and
then
you
know
thinking
about
the
rest
of
the
park,
and
so
it
is
really
about
us.
A
This
is
part
of
the
government
structure.
Question
is
how
do
we
think
about
funding
the
park
with
multiple
layers
of
funding,
so
it's
city,
it's
state,
it's
federal
and
it's
private
and
all
of
those
funding
structures
will
have
to
come
into
place
to
kind
of
make
this
a
full
reality,
and
so
we're
working
on
that
we're
really
excited.
I
think
we
have.
You
know
an
announcement
coming
out
soon,
that
we
are
seeing
a
lot
of
momentum
and
support
for
this
project,
and
so
you
know
I
think
it's
going
to
take
us.
A
No
one
has
asked
this
question
in
terms
of
what's
the
full
build
out,
but
we
do
think
it's
going
to
take
10
to
15
years,
and
I
think
that
that's
a
good
timeline
to
think
about
how
do
we
start
to
layer
in
the
different
funding
strategies
and,
in
addition
to
lessen
the
impacts
on
the
community?
So
if
we
were
to
build
the
whole
thing
at
once,
it
would
be
a
really
big
deal
to
take
it
apart,
60
acres
offline.
A
It
would
impact
a
lot
of
people,
especially
with
so
much
activity
happening
in
this
area
as
well.
So
that'll
give
us
a
timeline
to
figure
out
one
like
how
to
get
the
funding
in
place.
How
do
we
coordinate
well
with
all
the
other
planning
efforts
that
are
happening?
How
do
we
think
about
the
impacts
to
the
users,
and
then
we
can
move
it
forward
as
a
full,
build
out
in
that
kind
of
10
to
15
year
timeline.
C
A
Great,
are
there
any
other
chat,
questions
that
we
didn't
get
to
with
folks
online
still.
C
I
think
most
have
been
addressed.
I
do
love
the
suggestion
of
a
seven
days
a
week,
mbta
bus
service
between
andrea
and
jfk,
but
I
think
almost
all
of
the
others
have
been
addressed.
A
Working
on
the
governance
structure
and
all
the
park
rolls,
but
I
you
know
right,
and
I
never
really
understand
exactly
what
dog
friendly
is
yes
right
now
today,
it
said
dogs
on
leash
are
welcome.
It
will
likely
continue
to
be
that
we're
kind
of
balancing
people
who
love
their
dogs
and
then
people
who
love
their
children
and
there's
a
little.
A
E
I
know
there
was
a
question
about
the
swings
and
location
of
some
of
those
things
and
the
the
especially
kind
of
adult
oriented.
So
there
will
be-
I
mean
some
of
these
things
will
be
really
distributed
throughout
the
park.
You
know
kind
of
places
for
some
more
casual.
E
I
don't
want
it
not
fully
passive,
but
you
know
not
like
a
big,
huge
playground,
but
smaller
kind
of
play,
areas
that
will
be
oriented
towards
different
ages.
I
think
the
swings
that
I
mentioned
in
the
previous
in
the
presentation
were
at
the
kind
of
garden
gateway
area.
I
don't
know
if
far
you
can
highlight
where
that
is
on
the
on
the
plan
here
with
your
cursor
yeah
in
that
area.
There's
currently
the
thinking
is,
there
would
be
some
kind
of
swings
that
are
a
little
bit
more
geared
towards
adult.
E
You
know
sitting
not
so
much
like
kids
place
wings.
We
are
also
looking
at
places
for
things
like
poles
for
hammocks.
You
know
those
kinds
of
things
so
there's
really
a
wide
range
of
places
to
sit
and
places
to
hang
out
in
a
little
bit
more
of
a
fun
way.
But
that's
not
exactly
a
playground.
E
And
there
was
also
a
question
about
bike
and
scooter
parking.
I
think
that
we
don't
well
right
now.
There's
not
that's
something,
I
think
that's
something
that
will
come
into
the
phases.
You
know
as
we
design
each
phase,
we'll
figure
out
where
those
are,
but
we
definitely
recognize
that
you
know
parking
and
because
especially
because
we're
encouraging
people
to
not
be
parking
their
cars-
and
you
know
becoming
by
other
means,
then
ensuring
that
there's
plenty
of
spots
for
people
to
park
their
other
forms
of
transportation
is
really
important.
A
Okay,
so
it
looks
like
we've
got
through
most
of
it.
I
will
make
sure
to
go
through
the
chat
and
and
confirm
that
everyone
was
either.
A
A
The
chat,
and
if
there
is
something
that
wasn't
answered,
I
will
reach
out
directly
to
you
as
a
follow-up,
so
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
all
for
coming.
I
love
that
there
were
so
many
familiar
faces
here
tonight.
I
it's.
It
is
a
make
milk
with
yours
process
and
it
takes
us
a
while
to
kind
of
get
into
the
details,
and
so
I'm
happy
that
so
many
people
have
been
here
from
the
beginning
and
helped
guide
it
to
where
it
is
today,
and
I'm
really
excited
that
there's
new
people
joining
us.
A
I
think
this
park
is
really
something
special,
as
I
mentioned
in
the
beginning.
You
know
not
just
because
of
all
the
challenges
we
face,
but
also
just
the
community
that
surrounds
it
and
it's
it's
such
a
unique
situation
and
it's
such
a
dense
city
to
have
60
acres,
that's
adjacent
to
a
community,
that's
going
to
be
there
for
a
while
and
there's
you
know
community,
that's
very
close!
That's
been
here
for
decades
generation
after
generation
and
and
so
having
everyone
contribute
to
this
plan.
I
think,
is
going
to
really
make
it
something
special.
A
So
thank
you.
Please
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
me
in
the
interim
and
keep
an
eye
out
for
our
june
meeting
and
then
also
please
join
us
at
the
park
clean
up.
A
A
great
time
to
kind
of
chat,
and
we
can
talk
about
any
questions
you
have
there
or
just
spend
some
time
in
the
park.
The
folks
around
there
have
really
really
appreciated
the
volunteer,
help
that
people
have
brought
to
the
park
and
just
seeing
it
activated
in
different
ways
has
been
exciting.
So
thank
you
all
for
joining
us
tonight
and
we
will
chat
soon.
