A
B
A
Back
to
you
hannah
all
right,
so
this
is
a
meeting
we're
one
of
several
meetings.
We've
had
to
share
project
updates
about
the
moorland
street
and
mount
pleasant,
avenue,
neighborhood
solar
street
zone.
So
this
includes
all
of
the
streets
and
neighborhood
streets
between
warren
street,
blue
hill,
avenue,
dudley
street
and
I
think
that's
clifford
street
south
of
waverly.
A
A
A
A
A
So
so
then
we
followed
up
with
fieldwork
and
did
some
of
our
own
observations
and
field
work
and
then
started
producing
sharing
initial
designs.
So
these
designs,
we
hosted
a
virtual
meeting
in
november
of
2021
and
shared
these
for
feedback,
and
we
also
mailed
postcards
with
the
updated,
updated
designs
and
information
about
speed
hubs
to
get
your
feedback.
A
And
our
design
process
always
starts
with
the
safety
concerns
that
you
raise
and
the
issue
areas
that
people
specific
issue
areas
and
intersections
that
people
raise.
Then
we
go
out
onto
the
street
and
we
follow
up
with
our
own
observations
about
what
curb
ramps
that
need
to
be
updated
and
things
that
are
relevant
to
engineering.
A
A
A
So
clear
corners
or
the
lack
of
clear
corners
at
intersections
is
often
issue.
It
creates
blind
spots
when
so
when
cars
or
other
objects
are
obstructing
the
visibility
at
intersections
that
creates
blind
spots
and
sometimes
makes
it
dangerous
to
whether
you're
driving
a
car
or
crossing
the
street
on
foot
or
bike.
A
So
we've
installed
flex
posts
and
pavement
markings
across
the
city
of
boston
to
push
parking
back
further
back
from
the
crosswalk,
so
that
the
sight
lines
at
the
intersection
are
better
and
you
can
be
better
prepared
to
see.
There's
a
car
coming
from
a
side
street
or
there's
people
about
to
cross
the
street.
A
So
we're
going
to
talk
specifically
about
copeland
street
and
our
design
and
options
for
making
a
safer
crossing
to
the
park.
So
some
of
the
safety
concerns
we've
heard
that
there's
right
after
the
curve
in
the
street
there's
a
blind
spot
if
you're
trying
to
cross
the
street
to
the
park
and
it's
when,
especially
when
there
are
parked
cars
on
both
sides
of
street.
It
makes
it
particularly
difficult
to
see
oncoming
cars
and
there's
no
existing
crosswalk
to
in
the
middle
of
copeland
street.
A
We've
shared
this
design
option
before
so
this
option
would
put
a
raised
crossing
close
the
on
the
straight
part
of
copeland
street
right
in
front
of
or
close
to
the
park
entrance,
so
it
would
be
near
41,
copen
street,
and
this
cross.
The
placement
of
the
crosswalk
here
would
be
most
visible
to
cars
that
are
approaching
so
we're
keeping
it
would
be
before
the
curve
in
the
street.
A
So
a
car,
that's,
driving
down
copeland
street
would
still
be
able
to
see,
have
would
be
able
to
see
the
car,
the
crossway
crosswalk
and
people
crossing
the
street
from
far
away
a
race
crossing
provides
a
safe
and
comfortable
crossing
and
eliminates
the
need
for
building
curb
ramps,
and
this
option
would
be
the
closest
option
to
the
park
entrance
so
to
keep
these
crosswalks
safe
for
everyone.
Parking
will
be
restricted
along
the
curve.
Extensions
and
with
clear
space
in
front
of
the
crosswalk
drivers
and
pedestrians
will
be
better,
be
able
to
see
each
other.
D
D
I
see
people
zoom
in
before
they
get
to
that
area
and
after
they
get
to
the
area.
They're,
always
I
mean
no
matter
how
many
signs
are
up.
They
don't
pay
attention.
Now
I've
gone
down
many
streets,
they
don't
put
a
raised
crosswalk,
they
just
put
a
hump
or
whatever
you
call
it.
Okay,
I
don't
understand
why
we
can't
do
something
like
that.
Instead
of
putting
a
raised
crosswalk
in
front
of
my
house.
A
C
I
just
want
to
say
that
one
of
our
goals
for
the
neighborhood
slow
streets
program
is
to
make
sure
that
there's
a
safe
crossing
near
any
parks
in
the
community,
so
we're
also
proposing
a
raised
crosswalk
on
the
sort
of
northern
side
of
the
neighborhood
next
to
another
one
of
the
parks.
So
that's
why
we're
specifically
looking
at
adding
a
crosswalk
in
the
area
in
addition
to
having
speed
humps
on
copeland
street,
so
we'd
really
like
your
feedback
on
in
general.
So
we
understand
that
you
don't
want
it
at
41..
C
A
D
C
Yeah,
so
the
problem
with
little
scoby
is
that
the
park
entrance
is
kind
of
at
a
dangerous
location
for
a
crosswalk
because
of
the
curve
and
the
road.
So
we
did
look
at
putting
it
closer
to
the
park
like
right
in
front
of
the
park
entrance
or
just
afterwards.
But
we
were
concerned
that
drivers
coming
down
copeland
wouldn't
be
able
to
see
anyone
in
the
crosswalk
and
it
could
cause
more
issues
than
if
it
were
north
of
the
curve.
C
C
Right,
so
there
will
be
speed
humps,
that
the
challenge,
however,
is
that
without
an
official
crosswalk,
technically
people
shouldn't
be
crossing
the
street
there.
So
we're
really
trying
to
meet
the
desire
line
of
people
being
able
to
cross
the
street
near
the
playground
so
that
they
can
have
a
safe
place
to
cross
the
street
and
aren't
sort
of
popping
out
between
parked
cars,
which
can
be
dangerous
because
you
might
not
see
them,
especially
if
they're
children.
It
can
be
hard
because
they're
short
and
cars
are
quite
tall.
So
we.
D
D
D
D
D
A
Yeah
we
understand
right
now.
The
conditions
for
crossing
the
street
are
not
great,
because
there
are
no
speed,
hums
or
crosswalks
or
other
traffic
calming
improvements
right
now,
and
our
goal
for
this
program
is
to
create
those
conditions
that
which
make
the
street
feel
safer
and
I'm
just
going
to
go
because
there's
a
couple
of
other
people
questions
so
alicia.
E
Good
evening,
everyone-
and
thank
you
very
much
for
allowing
me
to
speak.
I
wanted
to
kind
of
just
expound
on
to
to
read.
Well
pretty
much
just
say
what
elaine
was
saying
in
regards
to
where
the
danger
zones
are
on
this
street,
like
we've
had
so
many
car
accidents
of
our
cars
being
parked
on
the
opposite
side,
where
the
park
is
along
that
whole
strip
from
4244
all
the
way
around
the
corner,
and
usually
the
cars
will
come
from
langford
park.
E
They'll
come
off
of
that
street
or
either
they'll
just
come
zooming
down
copeland,
and
when
they
get
hit
that
curve,
I
guess
that's
when
they
lose
it.
So
I
I
mean
I
can
understand
why
you
guys
want
to
put
the
thing
in
front
of
elaine's
house,
but,
to
be
honest
with
you
like
she
said,
also,
is
that
the
kids
usually
cross
like
further
down
like
where
the
curve
actually
goes
further
in
and
which
is
actually
across
from
a
little
it's
between
37
and
kim
jamie's
house.
A
F
E
B
B
You've
talked
about:
are
people
can't
see
them
and
vehicles
that
are
speeding,
so
part
of
this
whole
neighborhood,
slow
street
zone
is
putting
the
speed
humps
in
which
are
keeping
vehicles
at
a
lower
speed.
So
that's
the
first
kind
of
blanket
option
that
we're
putting
on
the
street
to
slow
all
the
vehicles
down
that
are
going.
B
The
second
thing
that
we
do
is,
as
stephanie
said,
we
try
to
put
raised
safe
crossings
near
parks.
That's
something
we're
doing
as
part
of
neighborhood
slow
streets,
so
we
need
to
put
it
where
we
can
legally
put
it.
So,
as
you've
mentioned
around
the
corner
there,
there
are
poor
visibility
and
there
is
poor
visibility,
so
something
we
have
to
deal
with
when
we're
designing
these
is.
I
need
to
make
sure
that
people
can
see
the
crosswalk
and
have
time
to
react
and
stop
if
someone's
in
the
crosswalk
before
they
get
there.
D
B
I
can't
put
a
crosswalk
further
down
this
street
than
what
we
have
here
without
significantly,
without
taking
probably
all
of
the
parking
on
the
street,
which
is
really
not
an
option
that
people
are
looking
for
at
this
time.
I'd
be
fine
with
it,
but
that
doesn't
normally
fly
through
the
neighborhoods,
because
everybody
always
you
know
they
want
to
keep
the
parking.
B
That
is
a
that
space
that
can
be
a
factor
so
because
we
have
two
tight
turns
back
to
back
here
I
don't
have
the
the
it's
called
stopping
sight
distance
and
it's
basically
the
line
of
sight
to
the
crosswalk
and
because
of
the
two
tight
curves.
I
do
not
get
the
line
of
sight
that
I
need
to
the
crosswalk
to
actually
put
a
crosswalk
there.
E
A
B
B
G
I
actually
live
on
moreland
street,
and
so
I
don't
experience
the
street
the
same
way
that
they
do
mostly
when
I
drive
down
copeland
street,
it
seems
like
there's
almost
no
parking.
That's
during
the
day,
that's
during
the
evening,
there's
really
no
parking
available
there,
because
a
lot
of
the
buildings
have
been
turned.
They.
They
may
have
started
out
as
single
families,
but
now
they're
three
unit
buildings
and
there
are
additional
people
that
would
like
to
build
more.
G
In
fact,
and
most
of
the
buildings
are
not
available
to
have
driveways
at
it,
so
they
really
don't
have
much
parking
and
but
at
the
same
time,
when
you
drive
down
the
street,
you
see
that
people
really
accelerate
on
copeland
street
and
particularly
at
that
curve
in
the
street,
where
you
can't
see
so
easily
around
the
curve.
So
you
know
so
I'm
really
grateful
that
those
individuals
who
live
close
there
to
the
park
are
here
to
speak,
and
actually
I
wish
there
were
a
few
more
so
you
know
so.
G
I
think
that
maybe
you
could
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
why
you
want
to
raise
crosswalk
that
you
know
to,
because
I
I
mean
we
think
of
that.
I
live
on
mullin
street.
We
really
wanted
both
of
the
raised
crosswalks.
We
don't
at
present.
We
don't
have
as
difficult
a
problem
parking
and
so
the
raised
crosswalk
is
like
the
you
know,
the
best
way
to
ensure
that
people
can
cross
the
street
safely.
A
Yeah
absolutely
a
wreath:
crosswalk
does
a
double
duty
in
slowing
speeds
and
providing
an
accessible
crossing.
So
you
know
curb.
Ramps
are
often
and
in
the
city
there's
issues
with
flooding
and
puddling,
and
sometimes
it's
very
hard
to
design
an
accessible
curb
ramp.
But
we
are
required
to
build
accessible,
curb
ramps,
that
that
means
that
anyone
using
a
mobility
device
like
a
wheelchair,
is
able
to
navigate
that
crosswalk
safely,
so
race
crossings
in
front.
A
We
can't
build
them
everywhere
in
the
city,
but
we
try
to
prioritize
them
near
areas
where
we
know
that
kids,
for
example,
are
crossing
the
street
so
places
near
parks
and
that
there's
also
that
need
to
slow
speed.
So
on
copen
street
we've
heard
that
there
are
a
lot
of
drivers
who
speed,
and
so
this
is
something
that
the
race
crossing
would
do
a
lot
to
have
that
added
benefit
of
both.
A
C
Just
on
the
topic
of
making
sure
that
people
on
the
street
are
aware,
we
will
be
following
up
from
this
meeting,
so
everything
will
be
posted
online
and
we'll
send
materials
that
way.
But
we
will
also
make
sure
that
all
of
the
homes
on
the
street
know
what
the
options
are
and
have
an
opportunity
to
share
their
feedback
before
we
sort
of
move
forward
with
any
design
options,
and
with
that
I
think
that
herschel
is
next.
H
H
Basically,
all
my
life,
my
personal
preference,
would
be
to
get
to
have
more
street
one
way
because
I've
seen
vehicles
flipped
because
of
accidents.
I've
seen
vehicles
destroyed,
people
are
sent
to
the
hospitals
right
at
mauling
in
whiting,
right
where
that
hump
is
in
the
street,
because
you
really
can't
see
there's
a
blind
spot
there.
H
H
H
Okay,
I
don't
understand
how
they
do
it
without
hitting
cars
and
children.
I
guess
I
do
now
based
on
this
meeting,
but
if
the
people
that
lived
on
copeland
could
go
back
and
kind
of
assist
with
knowledge
and
information
to
parents,
hey
we're
getting
this
teach
your
children
how
to
cross
the
street
don't
cross
in
between
cars
cross
at
the
crosswalk.
H
H
There
made
that
neighborhood
safe
we're
trying
to
make
our
neighborhood
safe,
and
we
should
take
the
attitude
you
cannot
come
down
here
like
this
anymore.
We
don't
know
where
you
come
from,
but
you
need
to
take
that
back.
Where
you,
where
you
came
from,
because
this
is
a
safe
neighborhood
and
if
I
have
to
stand
here
and
take
your
license
plate
down,
I
will
do
that,
but
these
are
our
neighbors.
H
These
are
our
children
and
we're
making
it
safe
for
all
of
us,
whether
it
be
copeland,
winthrop,
moreland,
whiting,
wherever
I've
driven
down
copeland,
but
I
drive
slow
because
I'm
in
the
neighborhood
I
know
there's
a
park
there.
I
know
there
may
be
kids
crossing,
so
I'm
careful,
but
these
I'll
say
individuals
to
be
respectful
that
come
from
other
areas
using
moreland
and
copeland
as
the
through
way
a
speedway
through
way
to
get
to
where
they
need
to
go
and
they're
destroying
lives.
H
That
is
completely
unacceptable,
as
far
as
I'm
concerned
from
this
day
going
forward.
So
I
accept
the
speed
humps
because
I
can't
get
a
one-way
street
now.
If
the
speed
humps
don't
work,
then
we
come
back
to
the
table
and
supplement
that
conversation
with.
What
else
can
we
do?
Do
we
need
blinking
lights?
Do
we
need
to
stop?
Do
we
need
a
red
light
to
actually
stop
the
traffic?
In
two
spots
I
mean
everything
is
on
the
table,
but
the
speed
humps
is
a
good
start.
F
Thank
you.
I
really
appreciate
all
three
of
the
options
the
raised
crosswalk,
I
think,
is
really
wonderful,
especially
with
the
senior
housing
that
people
would
use
to
be
able
to
use
the
race
crosswalks
and
not
have
to
go
down
to
street
level
and
then
back
up.
My
one
question
is
with
the
curb
and
the
children
that
you
know
cross
to
go
to
the
park
higher
up.
F
B
B
We
can
certainly
look
at
that,
but
based
on
my
experience
in
previous
ones,
if
it's
gonna
be
a
move
of
just
a
few
inches
of
curb-
that's
probably
not
effective,
use
of
our
time
or
money
because
it
ends
up
being
on
top
of
utilities
and
all
that
and
there
might
be
better
safety
options
available
for
us.
That
also
are
cheaper.
D
So
I,
what
I
wanted
to
know
was
with
the
langford
park,
because
I'm
looking
at
all
the
parking
that's
going
to
be
lost,
especially
with
street
cleaning
like
he
was
saying.
That's
a
big
issue.
I
mean
we
already
have
trouble
parking,
but
once
something
like
this
is
done,
that's
going
to
be
even
more
parking
loss
and
they're
building
the
house
on
around
the
corner,
a
multi-level
building.
So
that's
going
to
be
more
people
coming
to
park
on
our
street
because
that's
what
happens
with
street
cleaning.
B
B
B
C
C
H
H
Is
it
possible
that
we
have
permit
parking
on
these
streets
so
that
outsiders
cannot
come
in
and
take
resident
parking
and
have
us
in
our
meetings
about
our
community
concerns
being
blocked
because
you
need
to
catch
a
bus
and
you're
using
the
feasibility
of
an
open
parking
spot
on
a
side
street
or
a
main
drag
as
your
favor
and
I'll
I'll
leave?
How
I'll
listen
for
your
answer.
C
It
has
been
on
pause
during
covid
and
was
supposed
to
be
available
again
for
residents
to
consider
in
2022.
The
process
actually
doesn't
start
with
the
transportation
department.
It
starts
with
your
neighborhood
liaison
and
that
would
be
json
gantt
I'll
drop
his
email
in
the
chat-
and
he
is
the
first
person
to
talk
to
about
looking
for
adding
resident
parking
in
the
community.
C
C
H
C
C
You
a
quick
update
about
potholes
right
now,
so
our
public
works
crews
were
extremely
busy
for
a
little
while
removing
a
bunch
of
snow
and
in
between
the
snow
and
the
sort
of
like
ice
that
we
got
this
weekend.
They
were
able
to
get
out
and
start
patching
some
potholes,
especially
ones
that
had
gotten
worse.
C
C
C
H
H
C
Yeah,
so
we
also
have
a
repaving
program,
usually
that
information
is
online
too,
and
that
again
is
the
public
works
department,
so
like
hannah
dan
and
I
are
kind
of
like
we're
in
the
transportation
department,
so
we're
in
the
same
family,
but
we're
like
the
step
siblings.
So
we
don't
always
get
all
of
the
information.
C
G
I
was
just
going
to
tell
herschel
that
an
application
for
a
residential
parking
was
submitted
from
moreland
straight
and
it
got
delayed,
of
course,
because
of
covet.
So
there
are.
You
know
there
are
lots
of
people
on
marlin
street
who
share
the
same
interest
that,
particularly
on
the
end
that
moreland
street
that's
near
warren
street,
that
they
just
can't
park
any
time
of
the
day,
because
the
courthouse
parker's
park
there
and
they
have
other
issues
as
well.
But
but
we
did
submit
an
application.
C
A
A
A
We
haven't
gone
into
the
step
of
citing
the
specific
location,
so
that
takes
a
little
bit
more
work
that
we
we
go
out
and
we
make
sure
that
us
be
that
we
find
locations
that
are
not
in
front
of
driveways
or
on
top
of
utility
holes,
and
so
you'll
see
some
of
us
out
on
the
street,
probably
within
the
next
few
months,
and
what
we're
doing
out
there
is.
We
are
finding
specific
locations
for
the
speed
house.
A
A
A
Okay,
so
I
just
want
to
say
that
we
there
are
many
ways
to
get
in
touch
with
us.
I
know
some
of
you
have
already
attended
our
virtual
office
hours
so
stephanie.
If
you
can
share
the
link,
you
can
schedule
a
it's.
Basically,
you
can
access
our
calendar
and
schedule
time
to
talk
to
us
and
ask
more
questions
one-on-one
and
you
can
always
email
or
call
us
at
any
time.
Please
help
sharing
information
with
your
neighbors.
A
So
I'm
just
going
to
open
it
up
if
there
are
any
more
questions
about
copeland
street
or
other
aspects
of
the
neighborhood
streets
plan,
we're
going
to
stay
online
for
a
couple
more
minutes.
If
anyone
wants
to
ask
any
other
questions,
but
otherwise
that's
all
the
con
all
the
content
that
we
really
have
to
share
with
you
today.
