A
Oh
and
good
day,
I,
say
good
day,
because
actually
this
is
a
re-recording
of
the
first
few
opening
slides
from
a
meeting
on
October
19th.
A
live
meeting
on
October
19th
will
immediately
follow
these
introductory
slides
that
we're
re-recording.
Sorry
about
that.
We
just
we
didn't
hit
record
immediately.
So
we
missed
a
few
of
these
opening
introductory
slides
to
my
presentation.
A
I
am
the
project
manager
from
BTD
Patrick
hoey
the
agenda
for
the
meeting
consisted
of
introductions.
As
you
see
here,
the
project
background
the
context,
existing
conditions.
Of
course,
we're
not
able
to
address
these
issues
that
we
have
in
this
community,
around
transportation
and
safety
without
having
an
understanding
and
a
full
understanding
of
you
know,
what's
going
on
in
the
ground,
what
are
the
existing
conditions?
A
Data
collection,
just
the
General
State
of
good
repair
around
our
streets
and
blocks
and
boat
in
Geneva,
and
then
some
recommendations
that
we've
put
together
conceptual
plans,
ideas
that
we
have
that
would
like
feedback
on
and
then
left
time
for
Q
a
the
team
again
back
to
introductions
myself
from
BTD.
Is
the
project
manager
I'm
teamed
up
with
Jeff
Alexis
our
senior
engineer
with
Boston
Public
Works
Department?
A
This
is
a
streets
cabinet,
a
streets
initiative,
BTD
and
Public
Works,
essentially,
two
two
sides
of
the
same
coin:
we
we
cannot
do
one
without
the
other
in
terms
of
project
delivery.
So
myself
and
Jeff
teamed
up
as
co-leads
on
this
project.
Jen
Rowe
has
been
a
tremendous
asset
since
joining
the
team
from
our
active
Transportation
division
of
BTD
and
also
her
perspective
as
a
resident
within
Bowden
Geneva.
Within
the
study
area.
A
You
also
can
see
the
number
of
other
City
departments
that
we
rely
on
and
that
we
collaborate
with
and
we
get
essential
feedback
for
and
integrate
kind
of,
the
perspectives
of
these
different
departments,
disabilities
and
bpda,
Boston,
Water
and
Sewer
across
the
board.
All
of
the
different
departments
within
the
city
need
to
be
involved
in
any
project
initiative
that
we
have
that
will
kind
of
alter
our
streets
in
any
way.
A
design
team,
a
consultant
team,
highly
skilled
and
experienced
not
only
in
other
cities,
but
especially
with
Boston.
A
We
have
Kittleson
as
one
of
our
own
calls
for
Transportation,
Planning
and
transportation
engineering,
and
pleased
to
to
have
this
team
on
board
made
up
of
of
Julia
Walker
as
the
project
manager,
assisted
by
Caitlin
Milner
and
Kim
Kana
and
Radu
kind
of
rounding
out
the
Kittleson
team.
So
it's
quite
a
quite
a
a
you
know:
team
effort
and
combination
of
good
city
city
governments,
kind
of
departments
and
our
engineering
expertise
from
killson.
A
A
A
A
A
So
again,
some
more
of
the
context
that
you
know
our
own
data
has
told
us
over
the
last
few
years
that
there
are
issues
around
speeding.
There
have
been
a
number
of
crashes
over
the
last.
You
know
six,
eight
years,
you
know
at
a
rate
that
is,
you
know
more
than
above
average
I
would
say:
I
I'm,
not
sure
exactly
what
the
what
the
the
crash
data
in
terms
of
this
neighborhood
versus
some
of
the
other
neighborhoods
in
the
city.
A
But
it's
it's
at
a
rate
that
is
not
an
acceptable
rate.
It's
something
that
we
need
to
address
in
terms
of
of
the
crashes,
the
speeding
General
kind
of
Transportation
issues
across
the
board,
whether
it's
you
know
queuing
at
a
traffic
signal,
or
you
know,
double
parking
around
deliveries.
Things
like
that.
That
would
like
to
also
have
recommendations
as
far
and
put
into
our
report,
but
the
real
Focus
I
want
to
stress
around.
You
know,
at
least
in
the
the
initial
phases
of
this
project.
A
All
three
of
these
have
been
happening
happening
concurrently,
they've
been
happening
simultaneously.
Basically,
over
the
last
nine
months,
so
you
know
this
20
20
22,
since
we
kicked
off
at
the
end
of
2021
this
year,
has
seen
the
bulk
of
kind
of
the
efforts
around
working
group
meetings.
Walkthroughs
field
meetings,
ourselves
with
that
design,
team
and
other
City
officials
to
you
know
get
that.
You
know
feel
for.
A
What's
going
on
firsthand
in
the
streets
and
at
our
intersections
and
on
our
roadways,
we
have
had
a
data
collection,
as
I
mentioned.
We
we
had
to
you
know:
traffic
counts,
taken
at
I,
think
17
different
individual
streets
to
get
speeded
and
volume
data
in
all
of
those
locations
to
get
a
really
good
snapshot
of
the
rates
of
speed
and
the
number
of
vehicles
that
are
on
our
streets
in
the
study
area.
A
And
then
this
you
know
the
the
19th
the
evening
community
meeting
community-wide
meeting
you
know
to
date.
We've
had
you
know
more
of
like
the
leadership
with
the
working
group
and
disseminating
and
information
that
way
pulling
everybody
in
main
streets,
all
the
different
Civic
associations
again
under
the
leadership.
But
we
wanted
to
reach
as
many
people
as
as
we
could
in
a
public
forum
to
raise
awareness
and
allow
people
to
participate
to
varying
degrees,
whatever
works
with
people
and
to
offer
us
guidance
and
feedback
on
some
of
their
issues.
A
A
Planning
and
prior
actions,
taking
over
the
few
last
few
years,
the
city
has
gone
out
and
tried
to
implement
some
of
the
you
know,
recommendations
that
were
received
from
you
know
from
the
neighborhood,
whether
it's
through
three
one
ones
or
you
know
just
correspondence
with
the
city
about
concerns
that
needed
to
be
addressed,
especially
on
Bowden
Street
itself
and
kind
of
the
Main
Street
District.
But
there
have
been
a
number
of
prior
plans.
There's
the
family,
Indigo
planning
initiative,
so-called
fippy,
that
had
different
working
groups
as
well.
A
About
this
a
little
bit.
You
can't
really
like
think
about
it.
You
can't
offer
a
solution
unless
you
really
have
an
understanding
of
what
is
going
on
out
the
field
what's
happening
on
these
streets,
what's
happening
on
these
roadways
and
these
intersections
and
in
our
whole
system.
So
we
really
wanted
to
take
stock
of
what
was
happening.
We
did
do
data
collection,
you
know,
we've
had
walkthroughs
in
our
site
visits
and
just
some
of
the
you
know,
General
things
that
we've
found.
A
Yes,
you
know
there's
a
good
series
of
you
know:
sidewalk
accommodations
throughout
bone
Geneva,
but
you
know
when
you
get
to
some
of
the
crossings,
it
can
be
a
little.
You
know
unnerving
and
I
found
this
myself.
Just
when
I
was
out
flyering,
you
know,
I
might
come
to
an
intersection
that
doesn't
have
a
crosswalk.
The
ramp
system
might
not
be
adequate.
A
There
could
be
vehicles
that
are
again
like
parked
right
up
to
the
corner,
so
motorists
can't
see
me
and
I'm
I
might
not
necessarily
or
anyone
right,
not
necessarily
see.
That
motive
so
creates
a
little
unease
and
a
lack
of
safety.
So
you
know
one
of
our
primary
focuses,
obviously
on
pedestrian
improvements,
but
also
across
the
board
for
all
all
modes
right.
We
want
to
look
at
for
cyclists
and,
if
you
think
about
you,
know
what
we
have
out
there
today,
it
is
really
lacking
in
terms
of
accommodations.
A
We
do
have
what
we
call
sharrows
just
shared
Lane
mockings
on
on
Geneva
Ave,
but
that's
like
the
least
kind
of
bicycle
combination
that
you
can
have
it's
the
least
safe.
It's
the
least
separated.
We
want
to
address
that.
We
do
have
a
couple
blue
bike
stations,
there's
one
at
Washington
and
Erie
I
believe
and
then
other
in
four
corners,
but
those
are
on
the
periphery
of
our
study
area.
We
really
want
to
have
more
blue
bike
stations
and
Facilities
within
the
district.
A
I
know
this
really
grew
during
like
the
orange
line.
Shutdown,
for
example,
I
mean
through
the
roof
people
using
blue
bikes.
It's
a
great
way
to
get
around
I
use
it.
You
know
a
lot
of
my
colleagues
use
it.
I
know
neighborhood
people
really
desire
to
have
that
option
as
well.
We
did
install
some
bike
racks
recently,
so
this
you
know
some
good
news
on
some
of
our
main
streets
of
recent
and
also
some
of
the
assets
that
the
community
has.
A
A
You
know
incentivize
people
to
use
that
that
Railway,
that
is
so
close,
maybe
improve
the
bus
amenities.
Yes,
there
are
key
bus
routes
that
run
through
here,
but
some
of
the
bus
stops
are
really
lacking
in
what
they
should
be
traffic
and
speeding
right,
one
of
the
preeminent
issues
that
has
bubbled
up
right.
You
know
even
before
this
project
began
and
then,
since
we've
been
doing
this
analysis,
this
basically
confirmed
our
suspicions
so
to
speak
when
we
actually
put
traffic
counters
out
on
the
streets
to
get
an
idea
about
people's
speeds.
A
A
What
we
do
and
we're
all
aware
of
a
recent
fatality,
very
sad
with
the
the
crash
in
a
young
person,
died
in
that
crash
at
greenbeyer
and
Tonawanda
just
this
summer,
and
we
want
to
do
everything
that
we
can
to
prevent
another
tragedy
like
that
from
happening
so
existing
conditions.
Obviously,
we
need
to
address
what's
going
on
there
and
treatments
and
recommendations
when
we
say
that
what
do
we
mean
like
what's
in
that?
A
What's
in
our
tool
kit,
so
I
wanted
to
run
through
some
of
the
techniques,
some
of
the
engineering.
You
know,
capabilities
that
we
have
that
we
can
put
in
the
street
and
various
scales
too
from
small
scale
to
large
scale
and
we're
going
to
get
into
that
in
some
subsequent
slides.
But
what
you
know,
what
are
the
goals?
What
are
we
trying
to
do
with?
A
You
know
whether
it's
speed
humps
or
it's
daylighting
at
the
corners
that
I'll
talk
about,
but
we
want
to
calm
things
down
you.
Can
everyone
feels
this
when
you're
out
there
and
I
felt
it
myself
firsthand
when
I'm
in
the
neighborhood?
It's
that
you
just
people
zipping
around
you
can
just
feel
it
like
acceleration
of
vehicles
and
then
turning
movements
right
when
people
are
churning
it.
You
know
close
calls
right.
We
want
to
calm
things
down.
That's
our
primary
focus.
A
Make
a
safe
pedestrians
crossing
the
street,
make
it
easy
to
get
around
as
well.
If
you're
a
driver
right,
we
don't
want
to
like
you,
know,
jam
up
Main
Street
either
we
want
to
have
progression
without
traffic.
We
want
to
have
things
organized
and
be
orderly
and,
at
the
same
time
create
this
enhancement
of
kind
of
our
main
corridors
right.
A
If
you
think
about
like
what
we
want
to
do
in
terms
of
you
know,
you
would
think
that
they
were
a
major
item,
but
we
can
do
them
in
the
near
term,
something
like
speed,
humps,
where
we
can
design
and
get
in
the
ground
next
year
right.
So
we
have
that
in
the
shorter
term
category
things
like
daylighting
with
paint
and
flex
posts
that
you've
seen
around
the
city
that
they're
effective,
they're,
quick
build.
A
You
know
we
have,
we
can
come
up
with
designs,
review,
approve
them,
get
secure
the
funding
and
get
into
construction.
You
can
have
a
turnaround
time
that
you
know,
depending
on
the
on
where
things
are
on
the
cube
that
we
can.
We
can
get
that
done.
You
know
within
a
couple
years
for
something,
like
you
know,
signalization
or
you
know,
kind
of
a
major
project
that
involves
more
civil
engineering
and
and
nuts
and
bolts.
A
With
you
know
these
techniques,
like
the
the
daylighting
that
I
talked
about,
we
open
up
the
corners,
we
have
a
vehicle
parked
at
the
corner
and
they
can't
see
you
and
you
can't
see
them
that
clear
Corner,
that's
a
very
effective
tool.
It's
it's
it's!
You
know
simple
in
its
design,
but
it
can
be
really
effective,
a
Crossing
Island
to
create
Refuge
right
it.
A
It
also
can,
you
know,
cause
a
little
deflection
and
a
little
friction
with
with
vehicles
so
that
they
have
to
slow
down,
but
again
it
it
creates
somewhere
for
refuge
for
a
pedestrian,
curb
extensions
themselves
right.
It
makes
us
for
a
short,
a
pedestrian
Crossing
and
it
also
creates
a
barrier
between
a
vehicle
and
a
pedestrian,
a
physical
barrier,
a
roundabout
in
you,
know
various
degrees.
A
You
know
small
or
medium
or
large
size.
The
roundabout
actually
forces
you
to
slow
down
to
get
around
right.
So
it's
a
physical
kind
of
an
impedance
to
to
slow
people
down
some
good
technique.
It's
becoming
even
more
popular
speed.
Humps,
obviously
I
mean
if
you
go
over
a
speed
hump.
You
know
like
in
more
than
15
miles
per
hour.
I
think
that's
dangerous,
that
you
could
lose
your
your
undercarriage.
A
Do
some
damage
to
your
vehicle,
so
yeah
speed,
humps
are
effective,
especially
when
the
spaced
you
know
and
and
they're
need
they
meet
our
criteria
for
slow
people,
slowing
people
down
raised
intersections.
We
we
would
like
to
have
some
raised
into
sections
in
particular
around
where
the
schools
are
and
Up,
Academy
and
and
the
community
center,
where
we
have
a
lot
of
children,
and
it
would
be
nice
to
have
kind
of
that
profile
of
the
roadway
raised
at
the
Crossing.
A
So
these
are
just
some
of
the
examples
and,
like
you
know,
they
make
for
safer
crossings.
They
make
for
safer,
turning
safer
speeds,
just
kind
of
all
around
these
techniques,
within
their
varying
degrees
of
engineering
and
kind
of
time
when
I
talked
about
those
buckets,
but
most
of
these
are
really
in
the
in
the
nearer
term
and
and
the
more
media
term
that
we
can
get
in
the
ground.
A
Speed,
humps,
right,
okay.
This
is
really
a
Monumental
change
for
this
project
and
kind
of
where
we're
at
in
the
city
and
with
with
policy
and
around
streets
and
the
streets
cabinet
with
BTD
and
Public
Works.
The
mayowa
was
the
fifth
mayor
that
I've
worked
for
and
I
just
want
to
give
kudos
and
shout
out
to
to
mayawu
for
her
leadership.
A
On
the
issue
of
speed
humps
in
the
chief
of
streets,
Yasha
Franklin
Hodge
really
opened
the
door
to
implementing
speed,
humps
Beyond
kind
of
what
was
really
limited
for
good
reason
right,
because
it's
difficult
to
put
them
on
every
single
Street
in
the
city.
That
would
be
very
expensive
right,
as
well
as
other
kind
of
obstacles
that
we
face,
but
things
have
really
opened
up.
We
went
from
no,
we
can't
do
it
to.
Let's
have
some
programs
where
we
could
do
it
slow
streets
right.
A
We
had
the
slow
streets
program
and
the
safe
routes
to
school
program.
Very
selective,
you
know
limited,
you
know,
kind
of
enrollment,
so
to
speak
right,
but
what
neighborhood
needs
speed,
pumps
more
than
boat
in
Geneva
I
mean.
If
you
look
at
the
data
and
kind
of
just
other
factors
around
vulnerable
population,
we
took
a
risk,
we
put
it
in
the
scope
of
work
for
this
project
and
perfect
timing
just
of
recent.
A
Within
this
month
we
see
the
we
received
the
policy
directive
that
we
will
begin
using
speed
humps
as
a
technique
outside
of
those
other
special
programs.
Programs
like
this
Transportation
action
plan,
to
incorporate
this
in
our
design.
So
this
is
this
is
huge
and
if
you
look
at
the
illustration
on
the
right
and
the
legend-
and
you
see
the
blue,
this
is
where
we're
proposing
it's
pretty
much
blankets,
the
whole
neighborhood
and
subject
to
change.
A
A
Super
excited
about
having
this
included
in
our
project,
and
we
can
go
back
in
the
Q
a
if
people
want
to
like
look
into
this
map
more
closely
and
see
like
maybe
where
their
street
Falls
I
want
to
turn
it
over
real
quick,
because
this
is
multimodal
again
it's
not
just
about
speeding
a
safety,
although
that's
the
priority
we
want
to.
We
want
to
develop
plans
for
bikes,
Transit
traffic
comprehensively
right.
We're
focused
right
now
on
the
issues
around
safety.
C
Love
to
thanks
Pat
give
you
a
reader,
so
everyone
I,
first
of
all,
want
to
emphasize
that
in
terms
of
like
accommodations
everything
that
Pat
has
already
talked
about
in
terms
of
slowing
down
traffic
and
calming
it
making.
Those
intersections
safer
is
also
important
accommodation
for
people
on
a
bike
as
well,
so
that
that's
kind
of
I
think,
first
and
foremost.
In
addition
to
that
specifically
for
cyclists,
we
can
definitely
add
more
bike
parking.
C
We
did
put
in
a
bit
a
couple
years
ago
in
on
voted
in
Geneva,
but
there's
room
for
additional
spaces
there.
A
lot
of
the
streets
in
this
area
are
rather
narrow.
So
it's
hard
to
find
Space
to
have
specifically
designated
bike
Lanes
the
exception
to
that
is
on
Bowden
Street.
There
is
space
there
we
believe
to
put
in
a
bike
lane
in
the
uphill
Direction
which
we
prioritize,
because,
if
you're
biking
along
and
going
uphill
and
have
pressure
from
Vehicles
behind
you
to
be
going
faster,
that
could
be
an
uncomfortable
situation.
C
So
we'd
really
like
to
get
Elaine
in
there
in
the
uphill
southbound
Direction
and
then
provide
those
sharrows
that
Pat
mentioned
in
the
Northbound
downhill
Direction.
In
addition
to
that,
there's
been
a
Community
effort
to
build
a
what's
called
The
Fairmont
Greenway,
to
help
people
navigate
in
by
bicycle
through
Mattapan
and
Dorchester
and
Roxbury
into
the
center
of
the
city,
and
so
we
can
help
provide
guidance
to
how
to
navigate
through
some
slower
streets
and
as
part
of
this
Fairmont
Greenway
initiative
and
potentially
in
the
longer
term,
even
try
to
make
some
better
connections.
C
For
example,
wash
going
between
Washington
Street
and
Geneva
Ave.
You
can
connect
through
the
T
Station,
but
it's
certainly
not
the
most
clear
and
visible
and,
and
you
know,
for
a
person
on
a
bike,
you
might
not
want
to
be
going
up
and
down
those
ramps
and
probably
shouldn't
in
terms
of
being
considerate
of
other
users.
So
there's
kind
of
some
all
of
these
longer
term
categories.
C
We
will
be
needing
to
work
closely
with
some
Partners
like
the
T
and
trying
to
make
some
of
these
long-term
kind
of
community
Visions
happen
and
then
on
transit.
In
the
shorter
term,
we
can
be
adding
signage
to
make
it
very
clear
where
the
stops
are.
We
can
re-stripe
bus
boxes
to
try
to
discourage
vehicles
from
parking
in
them.
C
We
can
add
in
some
smaller
bus,
stop
amenities
that
are
on
the
scale
of
things
easier
to
put
in,
like
shelters
and
benches
and
in
the
medium
term
we
might
be
able
to
make
some
improvements
to
lighting
at
bus
stops,
could
potentially
work
towards
having
some
boarding
islands
and
providing
some
Transit
signal
priority,
where
buses
really
get
the
get
the
green
more
often
and
then
longer
term.
There
are
some.
C
We
know,
efforts
to
improve
the
Fairmont
line,
make
it
come
more
frequently,
so
we
certainly
are
going
to
be
doing
what
we
can
to
work
with
our
partners
in
the
T
to
realize
things
like
that,
as
well
as
there's
the
proposal
of
Fairmont
Line
stop
on
Columbia
Road
and
some
improvements
that
we
know
have
been
envisioned
for
a
long
time
to
that
four
corners,
Geneva
Station.
So
so
those
are
some
some
items
and
I'm
going
to
turn
it
back
to
to
Pat
now
to
continue
on
with
traffic
calming
measures.
A
A
A
If
you
combine
those,
then
you
have,
you
know
a
better
chance
of
being
healthy,
so
similarly,
this
map
in
this
illustration,
this
highlights
you
know
the
specific
locations
that
we're
proposing
some
of
these
treatments,
and
you
can
see
this
is
the
study
area.
Someone
had
posted
in
the
chat
about
Bloomfield,
Park
and
I
believe
that's
down
kind
of
in
this
on
the
bottom
of
the
screen,
some
of
those
streets.
We
did
expand
our
study
area
to
include
Tonawanda,
Bloomfield,
Lindsay
lodgepot.
A
We
kind
of
add
tack
that,
on
to
the
study
area,
we
had
green
buyer
and
Cleveland
already,
you
know
included
originally,
but
we
just
we
thought
it
was
necessary
and
I
think
the
the
community
worthy
of
having
that
added
to
scope
of
work.
So
so
you
can
see
in
just
this
light
green
tooth,
there's
already
some
plans
through
our
vision,
zero
program
that
we
had.
That
was
that
was
already
in
the
works
before
this
action
plan
began.
A
A
So
again
get
into
a
little
bit
of
the
specifics
of
like
where
we
were
proposing
and
what
we're
proposing
some
of
the
geometry
of
these
intersexing
streets
is
skewed.
They're,
not
you
know,
90
degree
intersections
and
when
you
have
a
skew
like
that,
it
really
creates
a
situation
where
you
have
turning
movements
that
are
too
fast
visibility.
That
is
poor.
A
So,
in
order
to
rectify
that-
and
you
know,
we
alter
the
geometry
with
these
techniques
right,
whether
we
do
we
do
these
quick,
build
crab
extensions
that
can
be
Then,
followed
by
real,
curb
extensions
right
with
granite
and
cement
to
create
that
barrier.
But
you
know
as
an
effective
interim
tool.
We
can
do
this
and
you
know
again
think
about
in
the
geometry
and
the
way
these
streets
intersect
at
an
angle
in
Geneva
and
Olney,
right,
Bowden,
and
only
and
then
up
Mount
Bowden.
There's
this
big
space.
A
A
That's
not
that's
a
recipe
for
disaster,
so
I
mean
just
as
example,
for
these
streets,
Hamilton,
Geneva,
Bowden,
Dakota
and
Tonawanda
all
along
and
you
it
was
Illustrated
in
the
map
that
I
had
up
before.
But
just
these
streets
in
particular
right
at
those
different
Corners
on
these
roadways,
could
really
make
a
difference
in
terms
of
visibility
and
safety
again
raised.
A
Crossings
would
really
like
to
see
this
implemented
by
the
UP
Academy,
and
you
know
on
both
on
both
sides,
because
there's
entryways
for
the
kids
there's
Westville
Street
and
on
the
other,
on
the
back
side
on
on
Dakota
as
well,
this
this
Crossing
as
the
kids
get
off
the
bus.
You
know
they
have
to
cross
the
street
or
the
parents
are
picking
them
up
and
they
have
to
cross
the
street
like
you
want
it
to
be
as
safe
as
possible
for
these
kids
all
right.
A
So,
okay,
now
we
spent
a
lot
of
time
talking
about
these
so-called
small
scale
techniques
right
on
a
larger
scale,
and
this
was
in
our
scope
of
work
that
we
developed
kind
of
going
back
to
when
again
the
Grassroots
and
and
the
working
group
and
working
with
great
Abode
and
Geneva
neighborhood
association
like
what
a
like.
What's
bubbling
up,
what
do
we?
What
are
impactful
things?
A
We
can
do
on
a
little
bigger
scale
right
and
obviously
around
the
station
right
yeah
again
we
have
this
this
asset
we
have
this
in
in,
hopefully
it
improves
and
becomes
more
frequent
and
there's.
You
know
ideas
to
have
this
become
more
of
like
a
real.
You
know
like
a
subway
line
right
where
it
could
run
more
often,
but
even
still
right.
When
you
know
I
use
this
I
I
again
I
take
this
myself.
I
was
on
it
yesterday
and
you
want
to
make
it
as
safe
as
possible.
A
A
There
were
like
dozens
of
kids
getting
off
the
commuter
rail
yesterday
and
they're
all
crossing
the
street
in
the
middle
of
the
street.
We
want
to
make
that
safer.
We
want
to
make
this
Crossing
around
the
station,
especially
where
it
connects
to
these
these.
You
know
senior
facilities
and
Head
Start
Right,
and
these
these
type
of
you
know
neighborhood
locations
that
are
in
such
close
proximity.
So
we
want
to
highlight
that
invest
more
into
that
and
we
have
some
design
ideas.
A
We
want
to
show
you
again
the
major
intersection
itself
of
Bowdoin
and
Geneva
right.
We
did
rebuild
it
and
put
in
new
signals
like
10
years
ago
or
whatever
it
was
room
for
improvement
right.
Is
it
that's
an
understatement
at
that
intersection
need
to
do
something
about
it
either
redesign
it
as
signalized
or
kind
of
taking
a
cue
from
the
family,
then
to
go
plan
potentially
around
the
ball.
We're
going
to
show
you
some
of
those
designs
and
then
mother's
rest.
A
The
I,
don't
know
if
you
know
that
the
parks
department
is
rebuilding
and
redesigning
the
mothersville's
park,
and
we
want
to
make
you
know,
tie
this
project
into
that
project.
There's
great
synchronicity,
where
we
can
make
it
really
safe,
getting
families
children
to
this
new
park.
It's
going
to
be
beautiful
right,
it's
gonna,
be
a
playground
and
everything
I
don't
know
if
you've
seen
the
plants.
But
what
can
we
do
this
special?
A
You
know
Donna,
Claiborne
and
mother's
rest
and
green
buyer
and
mother's
rest
and
then
also
at
Geneva
and
top
left
again,
the
geometry
and
how
those
streets
we
did
get
that
signal
in
there
and
I
was
I'm
happy
to
say
that
I
was
involved
in
that
years
ago
and
getting
that
signalized
for
better
or
worse.
You
know,
I,
don't
know
if
everyone
loves
having
all
those
signals,
but
at
least
it
makes
it
safer
and
the
jump
through
that
intersection
is
a
little.
You
know
skewed
and
and
Kilted.
A
So
we
have
some
plans,
we'd
like
to
show
you
or
some
ideas,
concepts
for
Geneva
and
top
left
and
then
again
up
on
Mount
bider
at
that
intersection.
That
I
mentioned,
where
you
have
all
these
streets
converging
and
all
this
asphalt.
It's
like
a
sea
of
asphalt.
It
could
really
that
should
be
public
space
that
should
be
usable
space,
not
just
for
cars
and
then
Bowden
Mountain,
it's
another
intersection
on
kind
of
the
main
commercial
strip,
but
it
also
is
a
connector
for
the
neighborhood
and
for
vehicles
and
pedestrians
that
it's
not
signalized.
A
D
D
Pedestrians
are
hard
to
see.
Vehicles
have
an
issue
coming
out
of
Vaughn
and
turning
left
onto
Geneva,
so
we're
hoping
that
will
likely
help
with
that
Additionally.
The
orange
shown
there
are
proposed
curb
extensions,
so
this
is
a
new
curb
constructed
curb
that
will
have
pedestrian
ramps.
Crosswalks
shown
there
and
the
curb
extensions
work
to
improve
pedestrian
safety,
pedestrian
visibility,
while
also
narrowing
the
travel
way
a
little
bit
to
help
slow
Vehicles
as
they
come
down
a
little
bit
of
a
hill
from
Columbia
Road.
D
We
also
are
showing
medians
down
near
the
two
four
corners
station
entrances,
so
those
medians
can
serve
as
pedestrian
Refuge
Islands.
We
call
them
so
someone
Crossing
can
kind
of
stop
and
rest
in
the
middle
and
wait
for
the
opposing
traffic
to
cross.
There
there's
currently
no
no
crosswalks,
as
Pat
mentioned
at
the
Four
Corners
station,
so
we're
proposing
one
at
each
each
of
the
entrances
there
and
there
are
also
bus
stops.
So
a
lot
of
demand
for
pedestrians
Crossing
in
that
area.
D
The
next
large-scale
project
is
a
kind
of
a
combination.
So
initially
we
had
been
looking
at
Claiborne
and
Tonawanda
near
the
mother's
rest
intersection,
but
found
some
additional
improvements
and
enhancements
at
Greenbrier
to
be
effective
to
kind
of
tie,
tie
together
and
create
a
safer
and
more
comfortable
environment
right
here.
So
at
Claiborne
we're
proposing
again
new
curbs
new,
curb
extensions
that
narrow
the
travel,
the
travel,
Lane,
improved
pedestrian
Crossing,
adding
those
high
visibility
crosswalks
in
these
locations.
We
also
are
looking
at
potentially
including
raised
crosswalks
there
at
Mother's
rest.
D
So
that's
something
that
we're
having
to
do
additional
analysis
with
in
how
that
fits
with
the
speed
humps
that
are
also
proposed
on
these
streets
and
then
there
at
Tonawanda
in
Greenbrier.
That's
where
Pat
had
mentioned
clearing
the
corners.
So,
although
we're
not
proposing
constructed
curbs,
we
are
proposing
paint
to
prevent
vehicles
from
parking
and
blocking
the
crosswalks
parking
too
close
to
the
intersection.
D
D
E
So
here
we're
seeing
a
more
oval
shaped
roundabout,
but
like
voting
Geneva
as
Pat
mentioned,
is
just
a
large
sea
of
pavement.
So
what
roundabouts
can
do
is
that
it
decreases
like
the
amount
of
pavement
that
is
just
like
out
there.
So
it's
easily
it's
easy
to
navigate
with
especially
signage
and
striping,
but
it
also
like
better
improves
traffic
flow
throughout.
E
So
when
you're
kind
of
like
looking
at
this,
imagining
yourself
going
through
a
roundabout
you're
kind
of
slowing
down
at
the
approaches
and
you're
going
through,
and
it
is
like
generally
a
lot
safer
and
it
also
Studies
have
shown
that
roundabouts
decrease
crashes,
fatalities,
injuries
and
they
just
like
generally
slow
speeds
and
can
take
pretty
good
amount
of
capacity
like
capacity
and
also
you
can
kind
of
see
in
here
we
have
pedestrian
refuges.
So
this
is
like
safer.
It
shortens
the
crossing
distance
for
pedestrians,
Crossing
and
yeah.
E
You
can
kind
of
go
to
the
next
one
or
the
second
one
yeah.
So
this
one
is
kind
of
similar,
but
it's
just
a
rounder
one
and
it
has
all
the
same
benefits
and
if
you
are
interested
in
learning
kind
of
more
or
have
questions
can
answer
them.
Ask
questions
in
the
chat
and
I
can
also
send
in
a
couple
resources.
E
D
D
It's
also
looking
at
Curb
extensions
and
creating
creating
public
space,
as
shown
in
the
in
the
rendering
here
so
space
for
expanded
sidewalks
people
to
walk
around
benches
Street
Furniture
things
like
that,
as
well
as
traffic
calming
at
the
entrances
of
top
lift,
improves,
improved
Crossings,
shared
Lane
markings.
Like
Pat
mentioned
are
shown
here
so
really
looking
at
a
combination
of
of
treatments
at
this
intersection.
That
is
kind
of
irregularly,
shaped
right
now
and
a
little
bit
of
a
challenge
for
pedestrians
to
navigate
on
vehicles
as
well.
D
D
So
we
looked
at
redesigning,
adding
in
constructed
curb
to
to
tighten
the
intersection
and
to
make
it
more
make
it
easier
to
navigate
for
vehicles
for
for
all
modes,
really
so
there's
a
large
curb
extension
in
the
center
there
that
can
be
mountable
for
emergency
vehicles
or
trucks.
It
can
be.
You
know,
part
of
the
garden
that
is
there.
It
can
be
reallocated
to
the
public
instead
of
just
being
asphalt
that
creates
unsafe
conditions.
D
There's
bus
stops
along
Bowdoin
street,
so
a
lot
of
pedestrian
activity,
given
the
commercial
land
uses
and
we've
just
observed
people
walking
around
and
identified
these
as
treatments
that
would
help
with
sight
distance,
pedestrian
safety
and
all
of
that
and
those
are
all
of
our
large-scale
treatments.
I'm
going
to
pass
it
back
to
Pat
and
Jen
to
talk
through
the
next
steps
and
then
get
into
open
discussion.
A
Thanks
a
lot
for
that,
Caitlin
and
Kim
appreciate
you
going
through
again
some
of
our
you
know
larger
scale
projects
that
would
require.
You
know
more
engineering,
more
investment,
but
what
this
project
will
do
is
this
is
there's
a
process.
It
begins
with
the
planning.
It
begins
with
the
conceptual
designs
and
that's
where
you
require
the
resources
that
we
need
to
build.
A
Some
of
those
larger
scale
projects
like
the
intersection
of
Bowen
Geneva
and
around
the
station
area,
so
we're
well
on
our
way
and
would
love
to
hear
kind
of
what
people's
thoughts
are
about.
What
we
presented
around
those
large-scale
projects
tonight,
but
when
you
think
about
next
steps,
right
and
I
talked
about
kind
of
the
three
different
layers
with
short-term
median
term
long
long
term
and
looking
at
this
schedule,
you
know
between
you
know
this
evening
and
you
know
less
than
a
year
from
from
today,
we
could
be
in
construction
on.
A
You
know
these
tactical
improvements
and
then
the
speed
humps,
which
we
really
want
to.
You
know
how
bizarre
right,
out
of
the
gate,
kind
of
implementation,
to
make
a
difference
and
then,
while
we're
simultaneously
doing
designs
for
some
of
the
more
you
know,
engineering
intensive
and
more,
you
know
moving
curb
around
type
raising,
raising
Crossings
things
like
that.
A
That
will
require
a
little
bit
more
time
and
then,
at
the
same
time,
thinking
through,
where
can
we
go
back
and
install
curb
extensions
where
we
had
just
paint
and
flex
posts
right?
Well,
then,
where
could
we
have?
You
know
where?
Where
could
the
female
Greenway?
What
where
could
we
have
neighbor
waves
running
through
bone
Geneva?
That
could
you
know,
be
a
safe
route
for
cyclists?
What
can
we
do
to
improve
the
bus
stops?
A
A
So
all
of
these
kind
of
things
happen
and
simultaneously
again,
if
you
look
at
where
we,
where
we
are,
you
know
we
have,
you
know,
we've
come
a
long
way
and
we're
in
it
for
the
Long
Haul.
So
you
know
this.
This
is
the
stage
that
we're
at
where
we
can
really
build
off
of
this
as
a
foundation
and
really
have
game-changing
Investments
for
safety
and
transportation
in
Bowden
Geneva.
A
We
have
about
30
minutes
left
for
Q
a
if,
if
people
you
know,
if
we,
if
there
were
people
that
have
their
hands
up,
that
we
want
to
stay
over
or
whatever
being
respectful
of
people's
time.
That's
fine!
If
we
wanted
to
go
a
little
bit
over,
but
I've
talked
enough.
I
want
to
hear
from
everyone.
I,
don't
I
can't
see
any
hands
raised.
I,
don't
know
if
I
should
stop,
sharing
or.
A
C
Let
me
let
me
start:
there
were
some
folks
who
put
in
some
questions
in
the
chat.
So
let's,
let's
hit
those
and
then
we'll
pop
over
to
I,
see
Ed
and
DaVita,
but
first
Siobhan
had
asked
if
it
was
possible
to
eliminate
actually
can
we,
let's
invite
Siobhan
to
unmute
one
sec.
There
we
go
I
believe
the
request
went
out
we'll
see
if.
G
Not
sure
if
everyone's
familiar
with
Geneva
Ave
but
closer
towards
the
Fields
Corner
Station
area,
we
have
to
read
traffic
signals
which
are
within
close
proximity
of
each
other,
which
is
causing
a
lot
of
traffic.
Now
Westville
in
Geneva
has
been
there
for
a
number
of
years,
Dakota
I,
believe
kind
of
was
put
in,
maybe
about
eight
nine
years
ago,
and
now
we
have
the
newest
one,
which
is
at
Tonawanda
walzek
in
Geneva,
and
it's
just
so
close
these
three
to
one
another.
That
traffic
gets
backed
up
pretty
quickly,
especially
when
school
lets
out.
G
G
A
A
You
know
because
of
the
close
proximity
and
the
sequence,
but
let
me
note
this
and
talk
to
our
Engineers
about
the
coordination
and
the
communication
between
those
signals
that
probably
overdue
for
re-timing
and
some
analysis
so
that
we
can
have
a
better
flow
based
on
the
current
conditions.
So
duly
noted
and
I
appreciate
your
comment.
Siobhan.
C
C
A
A
Mean
it's
only
right
now.
The
designs
we
have
now
are
preliminary
to
have
kind
of,
like
you
know,
basic
improvements
that
we
can
make.
We
we
put
in
after
the
crash
we
put
in
a
radar,
speed,
radar
feedback
sign
on
to
101
or
a
permanent
sign.
We
had
a
mobile
one
there
for
a
little
while
that
the
police
loaned
us,
and
then
we
have
a
permanent
one.
That
shows
you
your
rate
of
speed
when
you're
coming
up
Tonawanda.
So
that's
one
thing
we
put
in
right
away.
A
A
Raising
that
I
mean
yeah,
whatever
techniques
that
we
can
use.
You
know
we
have
our
ideas
for
Clayborn
at
the
mother's
rest.
You
know:
could
we
do
more?
A
clean
buyer
I,
don't
know
the
way
that
it
slopes
down.
It'd
have
to
be
engineered,
we'd
have
to
look
and
see
if
it
meets
criteria,
but
thanks
for
that
CJ,
and
we
certainly
want
to
do
every
everything
we
possibly
can
at
that
intersection.
D
So
that's
something
that
we'll
have
to
actually
get
out
there
get
survey
and
see
and
measure
the
the
steeps,
the
Steep
areas
when
we're
out
there
and
work
with
the
engineers
of
the
city
to
make
sure
that
it's
safe
because
yeah
there
are
those
limitations
with
both
steepness
and
also
very
sharp
turns.
You
know
we
don't
want
someone
to
just
come
up
on
a
speed,
hump
and
be
surprised
so
yep.
That's
something
in
our
further
evaluation.
Hey.
E
F
H
A
Yeah
Ed,
we
actually
have
I
it's
blocked
by
my
the
gallery
of
our
attendance
on
it's
obscuring
a
little
bit
of
long
follow
on
my
screen,
but
a
couple
of
things
we
have
in
mind
for
Longfellow
include
installing
speed
humps
on
Longfellow
and
then
Corner
treatments
like
you're,
describing
about
these
the
turning
a
Draper
and
the
turning
a
top
lift.
Yes
right,
that's
what
you're
talking
about
those
at
those
two
ends
right,
correct,
so
yeah
we
we
would.
It
would
be
more
than
just
kind
of
signage.
We
would
have.
F
A
H
F
A
I
didn't
understand
that
myself,
it
seemed
like
yellow
buses
were
all
queued
up
there,
I
went
I
went
by
at
the
same
time
that
that
was
happening
when
I
was
dropping
flyers
and
yeah
I
mean
there's
other
things
happening
there
as
well.
So
it
seems,
like
kind
of
you
know,
that
location
gets
pretty
jammed
up
with
the
school
buses
and
I'm
relying
on
my
colleagues
to
take
note
of
this,
so
that
we
can
reach
out
and
talk
to
the
school
Department's
Transportation
because
they
have
their
own.
As
you
know,
they
have
their
own.
A
You
know
dispatchers
and
and
transportation
department
itself
at
the
bowling
building.
We
can
talk
to
them
and
see
if
there's
another
alternative,
because
yeah
at
top
left
where
the
pizza
place
is
and
everything,
and
that
inspection
would
like
to
to
potentially
redesign
yeah.
It
gets
a
little
crazy
with
the
bus
stops.
I.
H
F
A
Hear
you
and
some
of
the
system
says
that's
what
we
kind
of
what
we
want
to
do
is
to
kind
of
slow
people
down
they're
trying
to
turn.
But
you
know
we
won't
make
it
so
you
can't
make
the
turn
and
you
go
up
in
the
Carib
either.
So
we'll
have
to
look
at
the
turning
radius
there
and
put
the
template
the
engineering
turning
template
on
that.
To
make
sure
that
you
know
a
vehicle
can
make
that
turn
without.
You
know
clipping
up
onto
the
sidewalk,
so
I
want
to
leave
some
time
for
others.
I
Hi,
thank
you
very
much
for
for
this
work.
I
know
it's
very
complicated.
My
name
is
Reyes
and
I
live
in
a
part
of
the
neighborhood
that
you
have
included,
but
not
completely,
and
I
would
like
to
put
a
word
just
like
CJ
did
for
that
for
a
street
called
Greenbrier
Greenbrier
and
Tonawanda
is
a
an
intersection
that
we
have
been
claiming
for
eight
years.
That
is
very
dangerous.
He
finally
took
the
death
of
a
person
to
call
attention
to
that.
I
I
I
I
also
would
like
to
call
the
attention-
and
this
is
the
end
of
my
intervention-
that
Geneva
Avenue
goes
all
the
way
to
park
and
in
what
I'm
seeing
the
streets
are
of
wild
deck,
Greenbrier
and
Park
are
not
being
addressed,
and
welded
in
particular,
is
an
exit
people
coming
from
Geneva
trying
to
escape
the
intersection
with
Park
Drive,
really
really
fast.
There
they've
been
many
collisions
at
all
hours.
I
A
Thank
you
for
that.
Reyes
and
I
had
the
pleasure
of
speaking
with
Rachel
Tate
on
the
phone
I
went
by
our
house,
I
didn't
get
to
meet
her
in
person,
but
I
did
speak
with
Rachel
and
she
is
amazing
and
I
thought
I
might
see
her
on
the
call
tonight.
She
did
accept
the
invite,
but
she
something
must
have
come
up,
but
we
have
we
extended
our
scope
of
work
to
when
we
we
had
Greenbrier
and
Claiborne
within
our
regional
study
area,
and
you
can
see
kind
of.
A
We
have
a
both
a
combination
of
large-scale
ideas,
large-scale
project
and
designs,
as
well
as
some
of
the
smaller
scale.
We're
going
to
continue
to
take
a
look
at
this
again.
We
we
apply
for
some
grant
funding,
but
even
if
we
don't
get
it
we're
going
to
invest
but
yeah.
My
colleagues
duly
noted
kind
of
like
outside
the
Sculpey
area,
but
that
doesn't
mean
we
have
to
you
know,
can't
address
other
issues
that
are
on
the
periphery.
A
A
J
No,
no
I
just
want
to
thank
the
team
for
it's.
Obviously
you
you
folks,
have
put
a
lot
of
time
and
energy
and
angst
into
into
this
presentation
and
the
work
that's
kind
of
hopefully
going
to
be
done.
I,
I,
just
and
I'm
sure
we
could
be
here
all
night
talking
about
our
our
pet
areas,
but
I
think
it
really
be
important
to
get
the
presentation
out
to
everybody
and
Pat
said
he
would
he
would
do
that.
So.
Thank
you.
J
F
J
F
J
Actually
have
the
right
of
way
to
cross
the
street,
and
the
other
thing
is
congestion.
You
know
certain
times
of
the
day
trafficking
be
backed
up
on
Bowdoin
Street
and
on
Geneva
Ave
I
mean
you
know,
Bowden
street,
from
Quincy
to
Four,
Corners
or
Geneva
from
Columbia
Road.
You
know
all
the
way,
all
the
way
down,
not
quite
the
park
street,
but
far
enough
I
mean
it's.
It's
really
absurd
and
then
the
streets
that
have
been
mentioned
there
are
other
streets
that
you
know.
J
People
want
some
attention
to
be
paid
to.
So
those
are
the
four
things
and
when
we
talk
about
making
changes
around
the
Assets
in
the
neighborhood
like
Mother's
rest,
please
don't
forget
about
Geneva
Cliffs,
because
there's
a
an
adjacent
effort
to
really
do
some
work
around
the
cliffs
and
Linda
laska
I
know
is
on
the
on
the
call
and
she's
the
chairperson
of
the
friends
of
Geneva
Cliffs,
but
we
need
to
pay
attention
to
that.
J
And,
lastly,
the
intersection
of
top
lift
and
Bowden
is
just
as
important
or
more
important
as
top
lift
in
Geneva
ABS
I
mean
you,
you
know.
Were
you
trying
to
get
off
I'll
talk
with
one
to
Bowden
it?
It's
absolutely
absurd
and
you
should
know,
there's
now
41
new
rental
units
at
the
intersection
of
top
lift
and
Bowden,
and
on
the
first
floor
there
will
be
another
asset,
I'm
sure
the
Dorchester
food
co-op,
which
is
going
to
be
opening
in
the
in
the
late
spring
early
summer.
J
So
there's
in
this
a
number
of
parking
spaces
in
in
in
that
facility
both
for
the
residents
and
for
the
Shoppers
of
the
food
co-op.
So
that's
going
to
add
more
to
the
mix
and
with
that
I'll
end
and
I,
think
people
need
to
have
an
opportunity
to
look
at
the
presentation.
Without
you
know,
feeling
rushed
and
so
I'm
sure
there'll
be
some
more
comments
after
people
have
had
a
chance
to
look
at
it
thanks
a
lot
guys.
D
A
I
I
had
a
little
bit.
He
could
it's
one
of
those
skewed
angle
too,
so
you
can't
really
see
I
actually
coming
out
of
top
left.
The
other
day
I
had
to
kind
of
like
peek
a
little
to
see
if
it
was
okay,
so
yeah
and
and
the
that
asset
speaking
of
neighborhood
Assets
in
the
Geneva
Cliffs
yeah
I
mean
all
of
these
things
combined
yeah
to
make
you
know,
Elevate
that,
as
you
know,
something
that's
more
accessible
right
and
people
would
want
to
enjoy.
A
F
J
F
A
The
signal
itself
yeah
it's
obscured
by
that's
within
the
study
area
and
yeah
our
signals
leader,
wasn't
able
to
make
the
the
call
tonight
but
appreciate
your
comments,
your
involvement,
you
kind
of
like
the
Grassroots
that
over
the
years
that
have
gotten
to
where
we're
at
now
and
kind
of
leveraging
this
investment.
So
thank
you
for
that
who's.
Next
Joy!
Yes,.
A
C
K
A
K
K
We
are
basically
open
from
6
30
a.m
until
8
30
p.m.
Between
the
school
and
the
community
center
and
cars
fly
down.
Westville,
there's
kids
get
hit
almost
every
single
day
here.
Just
yesterday,
a
BMW
almost
took
out
a
kid,
and
it's
just
like
you
know
long-term
is
great,
but
we
really
need
something
that
you
guys
can
do
in
the
short
term,
because,
unfortunately,
the
fear
as
by
the
time
construction
starts
and
everything
happens.
You
know
we
something
someone
has
gotten
hurt
already.
So
is
there
anything
you
guys?
K
A
But
what
again
that's
like,
if
that's
nine
months
off
before
anything's
in
the
ground?
What
can
we
do
between
now
and
next
summer?
Right?
It's
like
we
have
to
like
collectively
our
team
think
about
something
Innovative
that
we
could
you
know
do
to
just
get
us
over.
You
know
get
us
through
this
period
until
we
can
get
those
elements
in
the
ground
that.
A
Make
a
difference
so
we'll
focus
on
that.
Your
comment
and
what
you're
saying
is
like
please
in
the
interim,
do
something
so
that
we
don't
have
a
you
know
a
tragedy
between
now
and
when
we
have
some
of
these
techniques
that
can
actually
slow
people
down
and
make
it
safer.
So
we
will
get
to
work
on
that
and
try
to.
B
I
A
L
Good
evening,
everyone,
thank
you.
My
name
is
Tony
barrows
restaurant
cesaria
Baldwin.
We
we
all
know
that
the
air
is
very
congested
and
I
was
wondering
what
are
the
possibilities
of
maybe
adding
sensors
to
some
of
these
intersections,
sometimes
you're,
just
waiting
on
on
a
light.
That's
on
a
street.
That's
that's!
That's!
No
traffic
flowing
on
the
other
side
and
just
sitting
there,
and
maybe
also
synchronizing,
all
these
streets
street
lights
to
to
have
better
flow.
L
A
Hey
Tony
thanks
for
that
appreciate
your
Insight
and
your
perspective
about
that.
We
we
have,
you
know
traffic
and
the
signalization
we're
evaluating
all
of
these
signals.
Again.
Some
of
them
may
have
been
long
overdue
for
kind
of
analysis
and,
like
What's,
the
timing
on
it
could
be.
You
know
a
couple
years
since
they've
been
recalibrated,
so
we
want
to
take
a
serious
look
at
that
to
help
with
again
this
is
about
a
number
you
know
this
is
about
Transit
bike
safety,
pet
safety,
but
just
general
traffic
in
itself.
A
Right
like
how
can
we
have
these
signals
operate
better
so
that
there's
a
better
flow,
sometimes
there's
just
so
much
traffic
that
it's
difficult.
However,
if
you
think
about
some
of
these
treatments
right,
a
lot
of
the
volume
is
really
cut
through
traffic.
It's
not
even
people
that
live
here.
These
are
just
like
people,
they're,
not
patronizing.
The
businesses
they're,
not
residents
they're
on
these
streets
in
Beau
Geneva,
because
they're
like
don't,
they
don't
want
to
be
on
dot,
Ave
or
Columbia
Road
or
wherever
it
is
that
they're
cutting
through
that
I.
A
Think
one
of
the
effective
tools
of
the
speed
humps
is
going
to
be
like
it
takes
away
that
incentive
like.
If
people
are
going
to
go
down
the
street
and
they
have
to
slow
down
to
15
miles
an
hour
and
then
they
got
to
slow
down
again
to
get
an
over
another
speed
bump.
And
then
the
next
street
has
a
speed
up,
and
it's
like
and.
A
Well,
the
people
that
are
cutting
through
I
think
it
will
be.
There
will
be
less
inclined,
maybe
to
cut
through
the
neighborhood.
If
we
implement
this.
But
getting
back
to
your
point
about
the
signals
we
need
to
reevaluate
kind
of
like
What's.
The
timing
and,
like
you
know,
are
these
synchronized.
Do
we
have
connect?
You
know
the
interconnected
with
cable.
Some
of
these
signals
don't
have
the
fiber
optic
where
they
they
talk
to
each
other,
so
to
speak,
and
that
we
get
the
real-time
information
back
at
the
tech
center.
A
Yeah
yeah
this
detection
I
mean
we
should
these
signals
they
have
in
the
ground.
They
have
what
are
called
Loop
detectives
they're
supposed
to
pick
up
when
vehicles
are
in
a
queue
right
or
they're.
Just
automated
and
they're
programmed
regardless
of
the
detection.
There's
other
types:
there's
there's
there's
video
detection,
that's
less
common,
so
yeah
I'll,
you
know
signal
expertise
and
our
signals
unit.
They
would
be
more
informed
about
this
kind
of
status.
Of
of.
A
C
A
B
Okay,
Christine
seen
you
guys
in
the
meetings
and
everything
it's
nice
to
see
everyone
again.
Actually
it's
a
little
several
questions,
comments
which
are
good
a
lot
of
it's
gonna
cross
over
with
other
people
have
said.
So
it's
one
of
those
concerns
and
problems
on
Tonawanda,
Street
I'm,
the
second
house
from
the
intersection
of
Tonawanda
and
Greenbrier
I,
have
lived
there
for
47
years.
I
grew
up
on
the
street.
I
know
everything
about
what
you
guys
are
talking
about,
and
it's
been
going
on
for
40
plus
years.
B
B
B
We
actually
pay
our
pedestrians
to
get
hit
because
we
allow
cars
to
turn
with
green
lights
and
a
pedestrian
light
has
come
on
for
them
to
walk,
and
so
it's
not
just
in
our
area,
there's
also
a
light
right
here
and
I
work
in
the
financial
area
right
at
the
Crossing
of
Newton,
West,
Newton
and
Huntington.
Ave
and
they'll
have
a
green
light
for
the
people
to
turn
on
Dalton,
Street
and
they'll
have
pedestrian.
B
So
the
signals
I
think
really
do
need
to
be
looked
at
and
addressed
at
some
point
in
time
for
not
just
resident
areas
but
also
main
areas
for
the
actual.
What
is
it
the
other?
As
I
was
going
to
say
for
the
speeding
you
had,
you
guys
did
have
a
radar
for
the
speeding
to
track
what
was
happening.
We
do
have
a
permanent
one,
but
it's
at
the
bottom
of
Tonawanda
Street.
This
is
the
problem
you
come
in.
You
get
flagged.
B
B
It
gave
him
a
heads
up,
hey
you're,
going
fast,
but
it
didn't
slow
them
down
it
either
made
them
say,
wait
a
minute
and
then
they
sped
up
some
more
because
there's
no
consequences
with
these
speeders.
It
lets
us
know
we're
speeding.
Thank
you
helps,
but
it's
not
giving
me
a
consequence
once
I
hit,
that
30
plus
and
now
that
it's
been
removed,
they're
still
speeding
because
of
the
fact
this
was
the
speedometer
is
gone.
They
got
flagged
at
the
bottom
of
the
hill.
B
Why
aren't
these
speedometers
flagging
them
to
be
ticketed
and
I
know
people
have
said?
Oh,
we
don't
want
them
to
feel
the
community
to
feel
that
we're
watching
them.
We
don't
want
it
to
kind
of
make
a
stigmatize
the
community,
but
in
reality
people
are
speeding,
I,
don't
care
who's,
driving
your
car
you're,
speeding,
I,
don't
care!
If
it's
your
child
I,
don't
care.
If
it's
a
friend
and
I
don't
care
if
you've
linked
it
to
someone.
If
it
gets
flagged
for
speeding
past
30
hitting
40
hitting
50.
B
I,
don't
understand
how
something
can't
trigger
to
hit
that
speed.
Grab
that
license
plate
and
send
them
a
ticket
they
do
it
all
the
time
at
tolls,
so
they
cannot
say
we're
concerned
that
it's
profiling.
No,
they
do
it
at
masspac.
At
my
at
Mass
Pike.
They
do
it
with
the
Easy
Pass
Lane
trust
me
got
flagged
and
I
saw
it.
It
was
a
very
beautiful
picture
of
my
license
plate
and
I.
No
denying
so
I,
don't
I
understand
it
is
supposed
to
help.
B
It
is
supposed
to
slow
us
down,
but
part
of
this
speeding
is
consequences.
There
is
no
true
consequence
when
they
do
hit
those
High
numbers
and,
like
you
said
that
night
that
fatality
happened,
I
was
there
I
got
out
my
house
to
see
and
I
saw
the
flashing
lights.
My
immediate
response
was
oh
great
again,
but
the
difference
was
there
was
a
body
wrapped
up,
and
that
was
my
very
first
experience
of
a
fatality
of
this
type
of
accident.
So
we
do
need
to
I
agree.
B
B
If
you
can
get
that
I
understand,
if
you
guys
don't
want
to
make
it
to
flag
people,
but
if
you
can
get
a
permanent
one
closer
to
where
you
guys
had
it
initially,
that
would
help
in
some
kind
of
way,
because
it
was
temporary
and
people
are
still
now
speeding,
even
with
it
gone.
So
the
bottom
of
the
hill
is
good,
but
it
doesn't.
A
A
B
We
haven't
seen
anything
there
unless
it's
supposed
to
be
in
the
process.
I
will
say
they
accidentally
put
it
on
the
wrong
Street
one
wrong
side
of
the
street
because
it
wasn't.
It
was
not
working
because
it
was
underneath
the
trees,
but
then
they
moved
it
across
the
street
correctly.
But
we
have
not
seen
a
permanent
one.
I.
A
A
B
You
can
put
it
back
where
it
was
at
because
it
would
pick
up
the
the
slowing
when
person
when
someone
was
notified
that
you're
about
to
accelerate
at
the
bottom
of
the
hill.
You
start
to
slow
down,
and
then
you
realize,
because
it's
a
flat
before
it
starts
to
slope
up.
That's
when
you
start
to
speed
up
and
when
you
saw
it
flashing
some
would
have
slowed
down
or
some
would
blow
through
it
depending
on
the
personality.
But.
F
A
It
okay
yeah
all
right,
I'm
gonna,
see
if
we
can
move
that
yeah
it
shouldn't
be
too
big
of
a
deal.
I
mean
to
put
it
on
a
different
I
mean
it's
already
out
there.
We
could
just
have
the
crew
go
out,
move
it
I'll
work
on
that,
and
then
you
know
I
wish
that
it
was
tied
to
enforcement.
Are
you
kidding
me?
Yes,
that
I
think
that
that's
you
know
in
like
the
next
step
right.
F
A
Don't
know
when
it's
going
to
take
legislation
and
all
this
other
stuff
I
don't
know
when
that
will
be,
but
like
it's,
it's
like
your
phone,
the
next
generation
of
your
phone,
it's
going
to
be
the
next
generation
of
these
radar
signs
that
are
tied
to
enforcement,
where
the
like,
the
the
legislature,
passes
the
law
that
says
it's
not
an
invasion
of
privacy.
It's
right.
B
F
F
A
Looking
at
your
license,
we
have
the
technology,
there's,
no
reason
why
we
can't
do
it.
People
have
to
defy
the
whole
issue
that
it's
invasive,
because
it's
about
safety
and
saving
lives
and
then
just
real
quick
because
we're
running
out
of
time,
but
the
on
the
signals
with
pedestrians
and
the
what
you
were
describing
is
called
exclusive
ped
and
concurrent
pad
concurrent
pad
is
where
you
have
the
walk
signal,
but
people
can
turn
right.
F
A
That's
very
very
common
across
the
city
and
there's
debate
with
you
know
back
and
forth.
Only
thing
is
here
when
you
do
put
exclusive
pet
in
that's
like
25
seconds,
where
everything
stops.
So
you
know
you
get
people
backed
up
and
they're
beeping
their
horns
and
the
whole
thing,
but
I
mean
we
want
people
to
be
safe,
so
that's
kind
of
the
trade-off
and
we
got
to
keep
that
like
do.
We
want
exclusive
head
or
a
concurrent
Pad,
but
you
know
you
make
a
great
point
about
that:
yeah
yeah.
B
F
B
That's
that's
the
law
of
Massachusetts,
and
so
because
they
know
this,
they
will
step
out
intentionally.
So
all
right,
it's
just
one
of
those
things,
oh
and
by
the
way
I'm
gonna
send
out
that
information
regarding
Geneva
Cliffs
that
you
had
spoken
about.
I
got
an
email
from
Linda
I
need
to
send
it
out
to
our
group.
So
just
wanted
to
let
you
know
all.
A
A
A
C
F
C
Yeah,
maybe
they
stepped
away.
Let's
switch
over
to
the
question
that
came
in
the
chat
from
Jessica
hearing
a
lot
of
talk
about
pavement
and
wondering
if
there
is
any
more
eco-friendly
materials
that
could
be
used
instead
of
just
adding
more
pavement.
I
would
love
to
have
these
interventions
via
two
birds,
with
one
stone
thing
regarding
the
heat
island.
A
I,
like
that
idea
like
we,
we
showed
all
these
Graphics
that
showed
the
curves
extending
right.
We
don't
want
to
just
fill
them
with
concrete
to
your
point
right
yeah.
It
would
be,
it
would
be
better
than
having
not
having
all
that
asphalt
right,
you're,
creating
more
public
space,
it's
safer,
but
that's
an
amazing
point
that
you
bring
up
but
like
could
it
be
landscaped?
A
Yes,
I
think
you
could
have
permeable
pavers,
you
could
have
you
know
the
rain
Garden
type
facilities
on
some
of
these
curb
extensions
and
this
new
space
that's
created
and
that's
the
idea,
that's
what
we
want
to
do.
Only
thing
is:
we
just
have
to
have
like
some
kind
of
a
mates
in
this
agreement
with
a
neighbor
or
a
corporation
or
someone
that
can
actually
care
for
those
things,
but
we
could
use
materials
just
in
the
basic
like
design.
A
When
you
extend
the
curve
out
right
like
we,
we
showed
at
Rossiter
right
like
think
about
all
that
space
wow
you
could.
You
can
do
a
lot
with
that?
That's
like
a
blank
canvas
I
mean
you
could
program
it.
What
do
you
want
to
put
there?
Did
we
just
does
the
you
know,
do
we
Grant
it
over
by
deed
to
the
to
the
butter,
and
then
they
can
have
something
nice
there,
but
as
public
space,
you
could
put
like
pavement
that
absorbs
the
rain
water.
A
It
doesn't
like
flow
off
into
the
storm
drains,
but
it
gets
treated
through
the
ground
and
it
removes
all
the
pollutants
right
things
like
that.
But
it
would
be
nice
yeah
if
it
had
more
like
shrubs
and
trees,
and
the
only
thing
is
you'd
need
someone
to
care
for
it.
But
a
great
point-
and
you
sound
like
an
urban
planner
I
appreciate
that
comment.
C
A
C
F
A
Have
Westfield
decoder
is
being
evaluated
potential,
speed,
Hump,
Street
on
Dakota
and
for
treatments
on
the
turns
Dakota.
We
have
three
different
locations,
a
Greenbrier
at
at
the
raised
intersection,
potentially
right,
which
basically
is
a
speed.
Hump
a
raised
Crossing.
It
does
the
same
kind
of
Effectiveness,
so
for
Dakota
we
have
Greenbrier
Dakota
the
crossing
at
this
at
the
school
at
the
Marshall
and
then
Dakota
and
Geneva
for
intersection
treatments.
To
answer
your
question
that
was
posed
in
the
chat
thanks
for
that.
G
F
G
G
A
A
I
just
want
to
wrap
up
I
wanted
to
make
sure
we
heard
we
were
able
to.
You
know,
respond
to
anyone
that
had
the
hand
up
any
of
the
chat
and-
and
you
know,
I'm
hoping
that
the
team
was
able
to
kind
of
field
and
respond
to
those
chats.
Some
of
them
were
direct
message
to
me.
If
I
didn't
respond
to
your
direct
message,
I'm
sorry,
because
I
can't
do
it
at
the
same
time
that
I
have
my
screen
shared
and
I'm
answering
the
questions,
but
Chris
has
a
race
hand.
A
B
F
A
F
C
A
J
A
A
A
Gonna
post
the
video
we're
gonna
post
the
website,
I'm
posting
a
presentation
so
for
the
world
to
see,
and
then
we
can.
Anyone
can
go
back
in
their
free
time
if
they
want
in
their
board
and
they
want
to
go
back
and
look
at
all
of
our
plans
again
and
do
that
instead
of
watching
TV
on
Netflix
and
do
that.
A
You
know,
there's
my
email,
my
email
was
on
the
flyer
easy
to
reach
by
phone
or
by
email,
anytime,
happy
to
field
anything
so
I
hope
we
addressed
everyone's
concerns.
I
hope
everyone's
excited
about
what
we're
proposing
I
know.
I
am
this:
is
a
foundation
there's
all
these
other
projects
too,
that
are
happening
around
kind
of
this
area,
but
Bowden
Geneva,
right
this
project
and
we're
building
momentum
here.
This
is
this:
can
only
grow.
It
can
only
grow
and
become
more.
A
You
have
to
begin,
you
begin
a
process
and
you
build
off
the
process
and
you
never
know
where
it's
going
to
lead.
It
can
lead
to
amazing
things
all
right
so
with
that
I
will
say
good
night
to
all
my
the
the
general
kind
of
public
and
and
my
colleagues
too
I
guess
we
can
catch
up.
I'm
gonna
hit
the
stop,
share
all
right
and
then
I'm
going
to
end
the
meeting
all
right
because
we're
a
half
hour
overtime
already
as
it
is,
and
still
all
these
people
stayed
on
so
I
can't.
A
Thank
you
enough
for
your
interests,
your
participant
patience,
Civic
mindedness
care
about
your
community
that
you
show
up
and
hang
on
the
zoom
call
for
two
hours
and
listen
to
me
rattling
on
and
everybody
else
can't.
Thank
you
enough
for
that
have
a
great
night
everybody
and
we
will
be
in
contact
all
right,
I'm,
going
to
sign
off
good
night.
Everybody
thank.
