Description
First Neighborhood Working Group meeting to discuss the proposed program for addressing transportation safety in the Bowdoin Geneva neighborhood
A
B
Okay,
that's
me
hi,
I'm
linda
laska.
I
am
the
co-chair
of
the
bowdoin
geneva
geneva
cliffs
and
I'm
also
a
member
of
the
greater
ba
greater
bowdoin
geneva
neighborhood
association
and
also
the
friends
of
the
I'm
losing
my
mind.
Common
square.
C
Yeah,
I
could,
I
see
eric.
I
see
eric's
face.
D
Oh
there
we
are
okay,
I
was
in
control.
I
was
pushing
the
mute
button
in
the
wrong
place:
hi
everybody
eric
fallinger,
I'm
with
v8,
I'm
the
real
estate
development
director
for
viet
aide.
We
have
a
41
unit,
family
apartment
building
under
construction
right
now
at
bowdoin
and
top
lift
that
I
assume
everybody
in
the
neighborhood
is
familiar
with
that
we
intend
to
become
the
home
of
the
dorchester
food
co-op
on
the
ground
floor
with
600
plus
square
feet
of
commercial
space.
D
We
also
are
proposing
a
36
unit,
senior
housing
facility
at
25
to
33
hamilton
street,
and
that
is
another
area
where
traffic
and
traffic
speeds
are.
I
know
a
concern
to
the
immediate
neighbors
and
to
the
community,
and
we
very
much
want
to
partner
with
btd
with
the
city
and
with
the
neighborhood,
to
help
find
solutions
for
that
corridor
that
spot
and
for
everybody's
information.
I
actually
before
I
was
in
this
job.
D
I
did
spend
a
decade
working
in
transportation
planning
for
tetra
tech
rizzo
up
in
framingham,
as
well
as
for
wolver
smith,
associates
in
new
haven,
connecticut.
D
And
we're
partnering
with
hebrew
senior
life
as
a
management
agent,
their
leading
manager
and
developer
of
senior
housing
in
eastern
massachusetts
and
deb
morse
from
hebrew
senior
life
is
on
the
call.
I
know
she
can't
stay
long,
so
I
just
want
to
recognize
her
and
I'll
pass
it
to
her
to
introduce
herself.
D
D
D
I'll,
just
I'll
just
pass
it,
let's
see
here
I
think,
was
someone
else.
I
knew
I
see
an
emma
page
is
that
emma
from
she's.
C
C
F
Yeah,
so
I'm
sarah
kruger,
with
mountboat
and
betterment
association,
formerly
of
four
corners
board
of
directors
with
teresa
and
I'm
an
architect
in
real
life,
and
so
I've
been
very
interested
in
following
this
slow-moving
transportation
progression.
Thank
you.
C
We're
kicking
off
now
we're
we're
ramping
up
now.
Sarah
yeah
we're
ramping
up.
This
is
the
big
kickoff.
So
I
appreciate
everyone-
and
I
appreciate
sarah-
I
know
you've
been
we've
been
on
some
calls
in
the
past,
and-
and
this
is
great
now
we
have
the
resources
to
really
move
this
forward.
So
I
I
saw
dustin
dustin
gardner,
you
wanna,
do
you
wanna
check
in?
I
know
we've
collaborated
before
in
the
past.
We
want
to
say.
G
Everyone
yeah
yeah
so
previously
was
on
staff
with
kelsey
campbell.
You
know
staying
in
touch
with
this
work
and
now
she's
a
staff
for
become
somewhere
else
so
happy
to
be
here.
C
Dynamite
thanks
and
in
turn
other
neighborhood
folks
bloomfield
park
is
that
cj.
H
Yeah,
it's
me:
hey
pat,
hey
everyone.
Cj
gene
lewis
co-chair
for
bloomfield
park,
formerly
council
campbell's
office,
good
to
see
you
all.
C
All
right,
fantastic
cj,
I
appreciate
you
being
here.
I
know
you've
been
in
your
work
in
the
neighborhood
behind
an
effort
to
get
this
going,
and
it's
great
that
we're
at
this
stage
where
we
have
a
real
project
that
we
can
move.
Is
there
anyone
else
in
the
neighborhood?
Did
we
call
out?
I
think
we
got
everybody
introduced,
and
I
wanted
to
just
make
sure
that
you
know
we
you
know,
get
to
know
each
other
as
we
go
forward
on
these
calls.
C
We'll
have
I
mean
this
is
a
this
is
the
leadership
that
has
has
stepped
up
and
you
know
as
we
move
along.
We
want
your
counsel
and
your
guidance,
and
I
think
part
of
what
we
wanted
to
do
today.
Maybe
in
the
discussion
is
get
some
advice
on
how
we
could
maybe
reach
a
larger
audience
and
how
we
might
structure
that
so.
But
I
saw
was
that
samantha
that
just
jumped
on
hey,
hey,
samantha,
welcome.
C
Yeah
you
know
I
I
started
recording
the
meeting
too,
so
we
could
get
people's
comments
and
everything
that
if
we
had
to
go
back
and
rewind
to
you
know
skip
something
without
note
taking,
so
I
just
want
to
let
everyone
know
that
and
all
right
since
we
introduced
everybody
without
further
ado,
I
wanted
to
get
into
the
slides
caitlyn
from
from
kittleson
team.
Caitlin
milner
has
been
doing
tremendous
work,
helping
us
as
well.
Can
you
cue
that
up?
Do
you
have
the
slides.
C
C
I
can't
see
anybody
nodding
so
you'll
have
to
verbalize
in
response,
but
you
know
we
went
over
that
welcome
and
introductions
again
appreciate
everyone's
time
and
effort,
especially
during
an
afternoon
call-
and
we
are
so
flexible
in
terms
of
like
when
we
meet
going
forward
evening,
calls
day
time,
whatever
works
for
people,
but
just
the
general
agenda
and
kind
of
what's
in
the
slideshow
I
wanted
to.
C
You,
know,
develop
and
present
the
you
know
the
context
of
of
this
project
get
into
some
of
the
you
know
the
technical
aspects
of
it
in
the
in
the
scope,
the
the
project
boundaries.
C
You
know
different
types
of
installations
that
we
have
in
mind
as
we
go
forward
with
design
to
create
safer
streets
in
boat
in
geneva
into
traffic,
calm,
and
then
the
discussion
we
want.
We
want
to
save
time
within
the
hour
to
to
have
a
discussion
in
a
general
q,
a
as
well
so
again,
the
core
team,
myself
jeff
from
public
works,
and
then
I
mentioned
how
important
it
was:
disabilities
and
bpda
boston,
water
and
sewer
again,
city
agencies,
cross
disciplines.
C
You
know
as
we
get
into
design,
because
everything
has
to
be
reviewed
and
approved,
and
a
lot
of
collaboration,
a
lot
of
work
going
on
behind
the
scenes,
with
our
different
departments
on
the
kittleson
team-
and
you
know
I
mentioned
this.
Kittleson
are
one
of
the
best
in
the
business,
and
I
mean
that
wholeheartedly,
and
they
have
done
so
much
important
work
for
us
in
the
slow
streets
program.
C
They
work
on
the
cutting
edge
of
developing
solutions
and
it
will
be
no
less
for
boat
and
geneva
through
this
project.
This
isn't
necessarily
a
slow
streets
project,
but
it
has
a
lot
of
the
elements
of
a
slow
streets
project
if
we
want
to
put
it
kind
of
in
that
category
and
they
have
a
lineup
of
professionals
that
is
just
excellent
planners
and
engineers
on
on
the
kittleson
team.
C
Connoisseur
is
a
principal
and
juliette,
as
I
mentioned,
is
our
lead
project
manager
with
with
caitlin
assisting
so
again
in
the
context
we
I
wanted
to
talk
about
like
these
overarching
themes
in
our
goals
and
these
four.
I
just
wanted
to
call
out
specifically
the
engagement
right.
C
We
have
we're
calling
this
group,
this
group
of
leaders,
that
we
have
assembled
that
have
kind
of
stepped
up
or
been
nominated,
so
to
speak,
and
you
know,
through
to
david's
group,
have
come
to
the
fore
and
we
want
to
be
flexible,
transparent.
We
want
to
meet
people
where
they
are.
We
want
to
have
walk-throughs
pop-ups
if
we,
maybe
we
have
a
meeting
at
the
at
the
holland
up
academy
or
at
the
community
center
on
westfield
street
right
this.
C
Those
are
all
possibilities,
but
we
want
to
engage
on
the
street
level
and
you
know
the
way
things
are.
You
know
the
direction
things
are
heading
with
covid.
I
would
imagine
that
we'll
be
having
some
in-person
meetings.
You
know,
maybe
this
spring,
you
know
and
definitely
this
summer.
I
would
imagine
why
not
right
so
something
to
look
forward
to
getting
together
in
person
with
people
the
second
one
safety.
This
is
like
all
about
safety.
C
It's
really
kind
of
been
the
the
genesis
of
the
project
has
been
issues
of
safety
going
back
pre-pandemic
and
that
have
really
been
exacerbated.
I
guess
over
the
last
two
years
we
want
to
reduce
conflicts
in
our
design
and
we
want
to
eliminate
crashes
crashes.
It's
whenever
I
get
an
alert
on
my
phone
about
a
crash.
It
just
you
know
it's
unnerving
and
I
can
imagine
what
it
must
be
like
in
the
neighborhood
when
we
have
crashes
like
we
have
had
in
this
neighborhood
and
others
across
the
city.
C
We
want
to
reduce
that
to
zero
comfort
level
in
terms
of
just
think
about
you
know
as
a
pedestrian
on
the
street
right,
we
want
to
look
at,
like
you
know,
issues
around
traffic
congestion,
things
like
that,
but
what
has
really
been
important
has
been
issues
around
speeding
and
a
lot
of
calls
around
speeding,
three
one
ones
and
again
as
a
pedestrian
or
you
know,
you
know
a
mom
with
their
with
their
child
or
just
anyone.
You
know
traversing
the
neighborhood.
C
We
want
to
make
sure
that
they
have
a
level
of
comfort.
You
know
whether
they're
walking
or
on
a
bike
or
any
other
mode,
whether
they're
driving
themselves
or
on
a
bus
that
you
know
speeding,
is
not
something
that
gives
an
uncomfortable
unease
on
on
the
streets
and
in
the
neighborhood.
So
that's
another
priority
and
a
goal
and
an
overarching
theme
and
again
multimodal
all
all
modes
of
transport.
C
This
is
about
ped
safety.
This
is
about
bike
safety.
This
is
about
transit,
use
and
reliability
and
comfort
and
safety.
This
is
about
motorists
using
their
vehicles
in
a
safe
manner.
Can
we
help
to
slow
speeds
on
turns
with
some
of
our
curb
extensions
things
like
that?
So
just
I
wanted
to
touch
upon
those
and
kind
of
frame
the
project
and
what
our
overarching
goals
are.
So
you
know
why
why
vote
in
geneva?
Why
now?
Why
wasn't
it
before
earlier?
C
Well,
so
happy
that
it's
happening
now,
it
couldn't
come
come
sooner,
but
you
know
pre-pandemic.
We
had
issues,
but
again
this
really
the
last
two
years
almost
we've
had
like
a
spike
in
three
one
ones
about
speeding
concerns
raised
about
speeding
on
residentials
on
this
residential
streets.
C
To
our
you
know,
through
neighborhood
services
and
through
our
elected
officials,
that
this
is
just
becoming
a
problem
and
we
wanted
to
address
it,
we
were
able
to
find
funding,
find
resources
and-
and
we're
here
now
we're
ready
to
to
take
this
and
get
this
underway,
but
also
just
the
the
population
of
of
boat.
In
geneva,
I
mean
it's
a
vulnerable
population.
When
you
think
of
disparities,
there
are
income
disparities.
There
are
health
disparities.
C
We
have
a
good
number
of
seniors
that
live
in
this
community.
We
have
youth
facilities
as
a
youth
population.
A
number
of
young
people
live
in
in
this
community
and
they're
our
most
vulnerable.
We
want
to
protect
them,
but,
aside
from
kind
of
the
anecdotal
there's
real
data
that
we
have
the
streets
that
surround
and
are
within
the
study
area
are
within
our
high
crash
network.
C
C
We
have
adjoining
slow
streets
projects,
we
have
the
hancock
street
triangle
project.
That
is,
you
know
immediately
adjoining
our
study
area.
We
have
grove
hall
that
is
adjacent.
We
just
rebuilt
quincy
street
on
the
other
side
of
of
columbia
road,
but
we
also,
I
mean
we
haven't
been
sitting
idly
by
mildly
by
while
we've
been
having
this
planning
in
the
works.
C
We
have
ongoing
interventions
that
are
being
designed
and
gearing
up
for
implementation
themselves.
Small
skill
safety
projects
there's
just
three,
for
example,
and
if
you
go
on
our
project
web
page
on
our
btd
webpage,
you'll
find
more
if
you
zoom
in,
but
we
have
at
richfield
and
west
west
wood
street.
We
have
on
puritan
ave
and
rock
mount
and
will
rose
just,
for
example,
through
our
engineering
division.
C
We
have
you
know
the
plans
for
a
fair
amount,
greenway
kind
of
helix,
of
ped
bike
accommodation
that
would
run
along
the
corridor
of
the
fam
outline
and
then
a
longer
term
plan
for
columbia,
road
itself
that
we
hope
to
kick
off
sometime
in
2022,
with
a
visioning
for
columbia,
road
to
reconnect
it
as
part
of
the
emerald
necklace
and
to
you
know,
reimagine
what
columbia
road
could
be
like
the
project
area
itself,
the
general
boundaries
columbia,
road
kind
of
to
the
northwest.
C
We
have
bowdoin
street
to
draper,
to
westfield,
to
dakota
looping
around
bloomfield
and
then
back
to
washington
kind
of
as
the
eastern
edge,
and
then
you
know
over
crossing
over
elden
to
bring
it
back
down
to
geneva,
and
this
is
a
pretty
substantial
study
area.
It's
a
lot
of
ground
to
cover,
but
we
have
a
lot
to
work
with.
C
We
have
already
received
feedback
that
davita
gave
us
that
was,
you
know,
compiled
from
comments
that
people
had
about
issues
they
were
concerned
about,
but
we
also
have
our
own
data
and
information
that
we've
collected
from
calls
that
were
received
again
through
311
and
other
modes
on
specific
streets
within
these
three
sub-districts,
where
speeding
has
has
been
the
number
one
issue.
So
all
of
these
residential
streets
in
areas,
one
two
and
three
that
are
specifically
called
out.
C
We've
received
neighborhood
feedback
to
our
office
to
to
the
city
about
issues
of
concern
about
speeding,
but
we
were
also
high,
highlighting
as
part
of
the
scope
of
this
project,
the
main
intersection
itself
of
bowdoin
and
geneva.
It's
a
lot
of
asphalt
out
there.
You
know
it's
not
really
very
ped-friendly.
C
If
you
are
crossing
that
street,
it's
a
long
way
to
go
so
we're
thinking
about
ways.
We
can
redesign
the
major
intersection
itself
and
that's
one
of
the
major
kind
of
focus
areas
of
the
effort
and
then
also
a
ped
crossing.
C
There's
always
been
this
desire
and
it
makes
a
lot
of
sense
to
have
a
crossing
somewhere
in
the
vicinity
of
the
of
the
commuter
rail
station
for
passengers
coming
on
and
off,
and
it's
just
a
desire
line
to
get
to
the
different
facilities
on
the
other
side
of
the
street,
and
we
really
don't
have
a
crossing
between
columbia,
road
and
only
street.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
a
designed
and
implemented
ped
crossing
on
geneva
ave
within
that
block.
C
So
with
the
scope,
I
wanted
to
turn
it
over
just
to
go
through
a
little
bit
of
the
technical
kind
of
aspects
of
the
project
and
the
scope
with
our
project
manager.
Juliette,
do
you
want
to
take
over
these
next
couple?
Slides.
C
K
Here
and
I'm
sure
I
know,
a
lot
of
people
are
really
excited
to
see
this
project.
This.
K
Information
out
of
you
today,
just
to
give
you
an
idea
of
our
scope
of
work
for
the
city
for
this
project.
It
it
does.
The
work
we're
doing
does
involve
both
planning
and
where.
K
That
being
said,
it's
roughly
broken
into
four
four
phases
that
correspond
with
the
date
shown
here,
but
we
are
also
cognizant
of
the
fact
that
there
might
be
some
short-term
projects
that
are
identified
that
maybe
don't
go,
don't
need
a
full
engineering
process
of
design
and
therefore
could
be
more
of
a
quick,
build,
shorter
term
project
that
could.
K
So
just
wanted
to
make
sure
you
understand
that,
even
though
this
is
the
project
phases
overall,
there
might
be
some
wiggle
room
within
here
in
terms
of
shorter
term
implementation.
K
And
pat
alluded
to
the
fact
that
you
know
we
we
understand
a
lot
of
work
has
already
been
done
out
here.
We
are
reviewing
previous
plans
and
looking
at
the
recommendations,
this
map
just
demonstrates
some
of
the
recommendations
that
have
come
out
of
some
of
those
prior
planning
projects.
K
And
the
city
already
has
a
really
good
toolkit
for
us
to
draw
from
one
of
the
primary
focuses
of
this
project
is
going
to
be
on
safety
and
traffic
calming,
and
so
we
will
be
looking
at
potential
treatments
or
you
know,
as
infrastructure
treatments
or
signing
sign
installations.
K
Things
like
that
that
have
already
that
are
already
in
the
city's
toolkit.
So
it's
we
aren't
going
to
be
creating
things
from
scratch
per
se.
We
will
be
drawing
from
existing
things
that
have
that
have
shown
that
they've
proven
to
have
success
elsewhere
in
the
city.
So
this
just
gives
you
a
sense
of
some
of
the
things
we'll
be
looking
at.
K
C
Okay,
awesome
at
this
point
and
we
got
through
that
kind
of
as
fast
as
we
could
to
save
enough
time.
But
juliette
did
you
mention
that
we
we've
been
collecting
data
and
that
we
actually
have
some
updated
data
to
kind
of
gauge
where
things
are
now.
K
I
don't
think
I
mentioned
that
pat
thanks
for
the
reminder,
so
we
are
yeah.
We
are
collecting
new
information,
such
as
traffic
counts.
We
want
to
have
an
understanding
of
the
volume
of
traffic.
We
know
that's
going
to
be
partly
influenced
by
the
pandemic,
so
maybe
not
an
accurate
reflection
per
se
of
normal
behavior,
but
we
also
are
collecting
speed
data
as
well,
because
we
know
that's
one
of
the
big
concerns
in
the
neighborhood,
so
we
will
have
some
some
information
to
draw
from
that's
more
current
than
past
studies
as
well.
C
Okay,
so
what
I
wanted
to
do
in
on
this
slide
and
kind
of
at
this
portion
of
the
meeting
is
get
some
guidance
with
these.
I
have
these
four
prompts
to
kind
of
get
the
juices
flowing
and
give
us
on
the
city
team
and
our
design
team
some
feedback.
What
we
had
in
mind
this
first
one
about
neighborhood
walk-throughs-
and
I
know
you
know
today-
was
great.
C
Today
it
was
mild,
it
was
sunny,
but
we
still
are
kind
of
in
you
know
we're
in
february
this
is
unusually
mild
weather,
but
when,
when
could
we
have
a
neighborhood
walk-through
potentially,
would
we
want
to
do
it?
You
know?
Do
we
want
to
have
something
in
early
march?
Do
we
want
to
set
something
like
that
up?
How
do
people
feel
about
walkthroughs
and
when
we
might
be
able
to
do
a
walk
through
and
kind
of,
manage
that
and
get
valuable
information
from
a
walkthrough.
C
If
we
did
do
something
in
february,
so
potentially
yeah
I
mean
the
14th
is
monday,
so.
L
L
I
would
also
encourage
whatever
the
method
is
for
communication
and
in
gatherings
that
there
be
an
opportunity
for
them
to
be
yes
during
the
day
for
those
who
can
make
it,
but
late
afternoon,
early
evening,
utilizing
existing
neighborhood
groups
and,
depending
upon
the
the
folks
who
are
able
to
attend,
make
sure
that
the
language
capabilities
are
are
available.
L
In
terms
of
you
know,
interpretation,
and
I
you
know
I
I
think
this
is
going
to
be
quite
the
extensive
process
in
order
to
have
a
lot
of
positive
things
happening
and-
and
I
know
I
know
the
the
tendency
will
be
for
people
to
talk
about
what
is
going
on
right
on
their
streets.
L
L
You
know
geneva
from
columbia,
road
down
to
park,
street
hamilton,
quincy
and
and
adams,
so
yeah.
So
I
hope
there'll
be
a
lot
of
interaction
with
people
in
the
neighborhood
and
with
folks
from
kittleson
and
also
from
the
different
city
departments.
C
C
You
know
one
section,
one
sub
area
with
you
know
a
walk
through
and
then
maybe
another
walkthrough
with
another
subset
of
the
neighborhood,
potentially
rather
than
having
one
where
we
just
we're
walking
all
around
the
neighborhood
and
that
might
take
just
too
much
time
and
might
be
unmanageable.
So
we're
going
to
have
to
think
that
through
it
sounds
like.
F
Yeah,
I
wouldn't
find
that
pat
and
say
sorry
that
I
think
even
potentially
partnering
it
with
the
next
occurrence
of
all
of
the
neighborhood
association
meetings,
that's
a
known
time
and
entity
for
groups
to
meet,
and
that
would
be
therefore
varied.
Whether
mount
button
I
know,
is
on
weekends.
I
know
other
folks
are
during
the
weekdays
and
having
more
opportunities
is
important.
F
I
know
one
of
the
common
themes
I
see
in
city
engagement
is
the
number
of
opportunities
and-
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
people
feel
that
they
were
able
to
join
if
they
wanted
to
join.
C
Fantastic
that
kind
of
leads
to
these
other
two
that
I
hear
about
about.
You
know
getting
the
feedback
from
the
neighborhood
and
hearing
from
others
that
might
not
be
able
to
join
a
call
like
this
or
or
be
plugged
in
to
kind
of
like
the
network,
so
any
recommendations.
C
Maybe
on
soliciting
information
I
know
I
mean
we
could
there
could
be
surveys
that
could
be.
You
know
online
social
media
solicitation
things
like
that.
Any
advice
from
from
this
group
on
potentially
reaching
others.
F
Yeah,
I'd
love
to
just
jump
right
in
there
real,
quick,
pat
and
I
I
know
that
the
revision
of
the
mayor's
office
of
housing
website
conjoined
with
bpdi,
decided
to
exclude
comments
from
projects.
F
C
Yeah,
I
think,
for
us
strategies
we
could
have.
We
got
a
dedicated
web
page
with
a
wiki
map
and
we
could
advertise
that
and
maybe
get
some
feedback
some
from
neighborhood
folks
that
way
as
well.
But
then,
where
others
maybe
have
seniors,
we
would
target,
maybe
some
maybe
housing
units
that
you
know
for
for
the
seniors
and
things
like
that
where
we
could
get
a
good
cross-section
of
the
different
area.
You
know
concerns.
L
Yeah
I
mean
there's
the
you
know,
certainly
in
this
area,
you,
you
have
the
pachuco
house
and
you
have
one
two
three
hamilton
street.
G
L
And
then
there's
the
menino
pavilion.
You
know
up
on
geneva
near
near
bowdoin,
so
there
are
so
there
are
some
some
locations.
That's.
L
C
I
hope
caitlin
and
julia
there's
any
transcribing
of
any
of
this.
I
I
can't
like
yeah.
C
You
covered
okay,
great,
it
is
being
recorded
too
as
well,
so
I
don't
know
how
you
play
it
back
but
anyway,
so
I
was
wondering
maybe
before
we
I'm
gonna.
I.
C
Can
see
everybody's
faces
now?
Okay,
all
right,
awesome,
all
right,
so
that
was
good.
Did
we
cover
those
four
kind
of
prompts
on
community
engagement
that
we
wanted
to
to
talk
about?
It
sounds
like
we
went
through
those
and
got
some
good
counsel.
L
C
L
If
we
are
seriously
thinking
about
the
surveys
survey
tool,
it
would
you
know
it
would
make
sense
to
have
some
members
of
the
community,
along
with
folks
from
the
city
and
kittleson
kind
of
work
on
that,
and
then
it
would
need
to
be
translated,
and
I
would
encourage
the
tool
to
be
as
concise
as
possible
in
order
to
encourage
people
to
you
know
actually
engage
that
way.
M
And
I
just
want
to
raise
that.
I
want
to
see
if
we
can
engage
bowdoin
main
street
and
make
sure
that
all
the
businesses
on
on
on
the
street
are
well
aware
of
of
the
other
plans
that
we
have
and
are
part
of
the
discussion
as
well.
L
Brian,
if
you
could,
if
you
could
help
out
with
that,
that
would
be
wonderful
bone
geneva
main
streets
has
been
informed
of
all
all
such
meetings
and
I
guess
there's
been
some
difficulty
with
their
being
able
to
participate,
but.
C
They're
they're
yeah,
yeah
harry
saris
was
supposed
to
make
it
today
and
he
couldn't
make
the
haris
had
away.
So
I
actually
I
talked
to
him
and
he's
we
want
to
plug
haris
from
main
streets
into
this
effort,
so
I
think
there'll
be
some
participation
there.
He
just,
I
guess
he
couldn't
make
the
call
today,
but
I
know
I
know
haris
from
his
work
over
in
nubian
square
over
the
years.
So
I
I
think,
he's
looking
forward
to
participating.
F
C
Yeah,
so
the
map
you
can
see
here
now-
and
I
just
I
mentioned
the
small
scale-
safety
projects
that
we
already
have
going-
that
ptd
has
at
you
know,
pinpointed
you
know
intersections,
and
you
know
small
corners
in
the
residential
area,
neighborhoods
that
we
we
want
to
focus
on
there's
about
a
half
a
dozen
of
those.
As
far
as
I
know,
but
also
we
have
plans
speaking
of
four
corners.
C
Sorry,
it
reminded
me
we
have
some
engineered
plans,
I'm
not
sure
when
they'll
be
implemented,
but
maybe
this
spring
or
summer.
I
don't
want
to
hold
my
colleagues
to
that,
but
there
were
plans
for
some
daylighting
and
other
improvements
at
four
corners
and
then
along
bowdoin
street,
at
some
of
the
intersections
like
a
corona
in
westfield,
there
are
plans
to
extend
the
curbs
to
slow
down
the
vehicles
on
turns
using.
C
You
know
some
materials,
some
some
paint
and
flex
posts,
and
things
like
that
similar
to
the
what
some
of
the
things
we
have
in
mind.
For
you
know,
neo-termite
action
items
and
you
know
potentially
longer-term
kind
of
you
know
real,
curb
granite,
curb
extensions,
but
you
know
developing
these
type
of
interventions
and
there
are
engineered
drawings
that
have
already
been
developed
for
that
four
corners
to
kind
of
improve
upon
that
intersection
and
then
the
smaller
side
street
intersections
at
corona
and
oakley.
I
think
in
westfield.
C
So
that's
in
the
pipeline
already,
but
this
map,
I
think
we
called
out
you
know
this-
is
it's
not
exactly
interactive
or
can
you
we
could
write
on
it?
If
we
wanted
to?
I
don't
know
if
anyone
has
anything
that
they
wanted
to
actually
bring
up.
That
was,
on
their
mind,
a
particular
street,
a
particular
intersection,
something
that
while
we
have
everybody
on
the
call,
okay.
N
Us
you
know
I
I
reached
out
to
the
commissioner
some
time
ago
about
the
concerns
that
I
have
I
own
a
two
family
somewhere
in
the
middle
of
a
bowdoin
street
between
geneva
in
washington,
and
I
have
two
vehicles
and
my
vehicles
have
been
hit
five
times
every
most
recently
christmas
eve
and
every
time
there's
an
accident
involving
mine.
It
also
includes
one
of
my
neighbors,
so
it's
hit
my
car.
My
car
then
hits
another
car.
N
What
the
issue
is
is
the
traffic
coming
if
you're
coming
up
holiday
or
or
I
think
it's
homes,
you
really
can't
see
the
oncoming
traffic
and
so
people
dart
out
across
bowdoin
and
between,
I
want
to
say
74
and
70
bowdoin
street.
That's
where
a
lot
of
those
accidents
are
happening.
N
Really
unfortunate
and
part
of
the
concern
is
that
I've
seen
you
know
quite
a
bit
more
foot
traffic,
but
you
had
mentioned
crosswalks.
My
concern
has
always
been
the
kids
and
the
seniors
that
that
kind
of
walk
up
and
down
and
this
traffic
from
from
geneva.
It's
like
a
quarter
mile
race
track,
whether
it
be
motorcycles.
N
You
know
low
rider
cars
whatever
it
is,
but
it's
just
you
know
it's
annoying.
I
even
reached
out
to
my
insurance
provider.
I
tried
to
the
police
department
to
get
some
historic
data
to
see.
If
I
could
put
some
you
know
some
numbers
together,
but
just
in
my
own
case,
five
five
accidents
in
seven
years,
so.
C
Yeah
donald,
I
was
so
glad
we
connected
on
this,
and
you
know
this
is
helpful
information
that
we're
going
to
do
our
best
to
see.
You
know
how
to
address
this
and
yeah
appreciate
that
it's
you
know
this
is
the
kind
of
things
that
we
want
to
hear
about
to
get
called
out
from
the
you
know
from
firsthand
kind
of
experience
so
david,
I
see
your
hand
race.
L
L
C
C
From
the
the
memo
that
you
gave
us
with
the
six
pages,
so
that
was
our
jumping
off
point
in
our
foundation,
so
super
helpful.
I
think
maybe
we
should
keep
going
with
this.
If
we
can
everyone,
you
know,
take
advantage
of
the
time
remaining
and
save
a
couple
minutes
for
next
steps,
but
if
people
want
to
specifically
call
out
something
in
the
study
area
from
their
neighborhood,
let's
get
it
on
the
record.
Now.
A
Hi
so
the
last
time
we
did
a
walkthrough
with
transportation
which
was
before
covet.
One
of
my
seniors
actually
almost
was
hit
by
a
car
while
doing
the
walk-through
and
that's
on
the
corner
of
westville,
where
up
academy
is,
and
she
lives
on
westville
street,
which
is
just
a
crazy
race
track,
even
with
school
in
session.
So
I'm
happy
to
hear
that
the
sidewalks
may
be
extended,
but
how
about
something
that
we
could
put
on
that
street?
That
stops
some
of
the
traffic?
A
C
Thanks
for
pointing
that
out,
teresa
we've
heard
that
you're,
not
the
only
person
that
has
mentioned
this.
This
is
so
there's
a
quorum
on
this
on
westville
street.
Do
you
know
joy
depena
from
the
community
center.
C
Look
familiar
yeah
joy,
she's,
the
executive
director
over
there.
We
met
with
her
and
she
used
to
work
at
city
hall,
and
she
pointed
out
exactly
what
you're
mentioning
and
that
street
has
a
decline
too
westfield
street
it
comes
down,
the
elevation
comes
down,
so
that
makes
it
even.
C
E
A
C
A
C
C
Yeah,
so
will
we
and
we
this
is
good,
because
this
has
been
identified
already,
and
this
just
you
know,
enhance
you
know,
just
enhances
that
prioritization
of
westville
street
and
the
community
center
and
the
children
there
and
the
speeds
is
something
we
really
want
to
dial
into.
So
thanks
for
sharing
that
teresa
anybody
else
before
we
get
to
kind
of
next
steps
like
we'll
take
this.
H
Thank
you,
julia,
I'm
gonna,
piggyback
off
of
teresa
and
head
down
that
claiborne
greenbrier
area
so
like
she
said
a
lot
of
speeding
on
that
street,
but
in
particular
at
the
intersection
of
tonawanda
and
greenbriar,
and
then
tonawanda
and
claiborne.
Those
stop
signs
going
in
both
directions.
Greenbriar
is
I'm
not
sure
which
direction
it's
probably
south
facing
and
then
claiborne
is
north
facing
and
those
stop
signs
are
always
ran
through
at
the
corner
of
green
bryant,
tonto
wanda,
one
woman
has
had
cars
crashed
into
her.
H
I
forget
the
word,
but
where
her
lawn
area
is
multiple
times
have
knocked
down
her
barrier.
So
if
we
could
find
some
way,
I
don't
know
if
a
curb
extension
might
be
it,
but
even
maybe
a
raised
crosswalk.
H
We
don't
have
any
crosswalks
at
those
intersections.
Also,
there
might
be
one
at
claiborne
because
of
the
park,
but
I
know
on
greenbrier
street.
There
definitely
aren't
and
we
have
a
lot
of
seniors
in
this
area,
so
that
would
be
really
helpful
and
then
I
wanted
to
know
if
I
didn't
see
the
speeding,
flashlight,
speeding,
flashing,
speed
signs.
Excuse
me
on
the
list.
H
Is
that
a
possibility,
and
then
this
might
be
a
little
bit
of
a
more
outside
question,
but
I
was
just
wondering
what
that
number
is
that
you
guys
go
by
to
say
whether
it's
high
traffic
low
volume
of
traffic?
What's
what's
that
criteria.
C
Yeah,
I'm
glad
you
brought
up
cj
the
speed
feedback
radar
signs,
yeah,
that's
another
tool
in
our
toolkit
that
you
know
25
miles
per
hour.
You
know
lets
motorists
know
right.
You
know
through
the
radar
they
might
not
be
conscious
or
aware
of
it
as
they're
kind
of
looking
ahead
and
not
at
their
speedometer,
so
another
valuable
tool
in
the
toolkit
and
we'll
have
to
you
know.
C
However,
we
have
to
find
resources
and-
and
you
know,
funding
to
implement
these
things-
that's
definitely
something
I
think
that
could
be
effective
and
then
in
terms
of
volumes
and
in
data.
Was
your
question
about
high
volumes.
C
Well,
it's
we
would
compare
it
to
like
prior
data
to
see
if
there's,
maybe
an
increase
over
a
baseline,
the
numbers
would
vary
so
there's
no
real
threshold
to
say,
like
it
crosses
a
threshold,
and
this
is
high
and
it
depends
on
if
it's
an
arterial
or
a
residential
street.
But
aside
from
the
volumes,
the
volumes
are
used
more
for,
like
determining
the
like
the
signalization
timing
and
things
things
like
that.
C
We
don't
want
to
discount
that
at
all.
But
what
we're
prioritizing,
I
think,
is
the
speeds
in
that
data
set.
You
know,
there's
volume
and
speed
and
speed.
I
think
we
want
to
look
into
both
of
them,
but
we're
able
to
collect
both
when
we
do
it
and
we
want
to
see
how
fast
people
are
going
where
they're
going
fast.
What's
going
on,
how
can
we
slow
them
down?
H
Just
a
suggestion
for
the
radar
if
it
were
to
be
implemented,
I
think
on
greenbrier
that
turn
coming
off
of
bowden
would
be
a
a
good
option
and
then
on
claiborne
coming
off
of
park
street,
because
those
are
where
the
cars
usually
start
flying
down.
C
C
Yeah,
let's,
let's
take
it,
let's
take
it
while
we
can
before
we're
out
of
time.
I
want
to
respect
people's
times
and
then
we
it's
going
to
cut
it
close
on
next
steps.
But
let's
hear
what
who
had
their
hand
raised
go
ahead.
I
Hi
so
first,
I
just
wanted
to
take
an
opportunity
to
introduce
myself,
I'm
samantha
taylor,
I'm
the
new
executive
director
of
bowdoin
street
health
center.
I
I
I
have
not
been
here
very
long,
I'm
three
months
into
the
role
almost
to
the
day,
and
I
know
that
we
as
a
health
center
play
a
very
big
role
in
treating
patients
in
this
community,
and
we
play
also
a
big
role
in
contributing
to
the
built
environment
and
some
of
the
transportation
and
structural
challenges
that
we
face
in
this
community.
I
I
I
know
that
there
are
a
lot
of
challenges,
particularly
around
the
health
center,
in
terms
of
bottlenecking,
due
to
testing
in
the
volume
of
patients
that
are
coming
in
and
out
of
the
health
centers.
So
I'm
happy
to
do
a
more
specific
walkthrough
of
this
part
of
both
geneva
to
assess
the
structural
challenges
that
are
are
faced
here
and
see
how
bi
dmc,
specifically
bowdoin
street
health
center
can
help
mitigate
these
issues.
C
Thanks
so
much
samantha
yeah,
we
want
it
absolutely
and
I'm
glad
that
you
know
the
health
center
we
had
kind
of
like
through
our
networking
and
compiling
our
our
list
of
of
the
the
working
group
that
we've
assembled
here.
This
kind
of
you
know,
committee,
that
you
know,
participation
in
the
health
center
is
critical
to
getting
a
cross-section
of
everybody
captured
among
their
concerns.
So,
but
with
with
time,
we
we
have
eric
eric
and
devita
again
with
the
raised
hands.
How.
D
Thanks
that
yeah
just
very
quickly,
we
have
three
properties
across
the
study
area
at
the
edges
and
in
the
middle.
So
I
totally
understand
about
westville
street
and
I
agree
from
our
upper
washington
property.
We're
out
there
all
the
time
at
our
construction
project
right
now
at
bowdoin
and
top
left.
D
Of
course,
top
lift
has
a
very
bad
sight
distance
as
you
come
up
and
try
to
enter
bowdoin
street,
something
that
could
probably
be
addressed
with
a
curb
extension
in
front
of
the
barbershop
at
a
barber
shop
right
there
and
then
hamilton
street
really
is
just.
D
I
think,
in
my
opinion,
to
the
extent
that
I
know
the
area
hamilton
street
seems
to
be
among
the
worst
of
the
high-speed
corridors,
because
it
really
is
a
you
know:
a
low-resistance
street
between
two
high-voltage
corridors
at
bowdoin
and
columbia,
road.
D
I've
seen
the
aftermath
of
several
crashes
at
hamilton
at
mount
everett,
which
is
right
exactly
where
our
project
is
a
couple
of
vehicles
that
have
been
smashed
into
a
mature
street
tree
that
the
city
very
much
wants
us
to
keep
and
if
it
keeps
getting
smashed
into,
they
may
not
be
anything
left
for
us
to
keep
as
part
of
our
project,
and
then
I
myself
have
skin
in
the
game.
D
I
got
a
mirror
taken
off
when
I
was
parked
for
15
minutes
at
richfield
and
pilgrim
place
back
in
october,
so
you
know
no.
I
certainly
sympathize
and
agree
with
with
everybody
who's
complaining
about
the
speeds
I
do
want
to
say.
I
think
that
speed
is
an
issue
on
probably
many,
if
not
most,
of
the
corridors
in
the
study
area.
I
think
that
friction
and
congestion
are
an
issue
on
the
core
of
bowdoin
street
and
that's
also
something
that
should
be
looked
at.
D
I
stood
there's
a
couple
years
ago
now,
but
I
stood
at
the
hamilton,
bowdoin
intersection
and
kind
of
watched,
the
green
and
red
times,
and
I
sort
of
thought
that
bowdoin
was
a
little
starved
and
hamilton
was
over
serviced,
so
the
signal
timings,
probably
throughout
the
study
area,
or
something
that
needed
to
be
looked
at
again
and
just
the
on-street
parking
and
and
so
forth,
situation
contributing
to
the
the
friction
on
boden
samantha.
D
I
appreciate
the
comment
about
testing
and
creating
congestion,
but
I
can
certainly
confirm
that
congestion
was
an
issue
on
that
stretch
of
bowdoin
street
well
ahead
of
the
pandemic.
So
anyway,.
D
C
Was
thinking
that
we
could
have
a
follow-up
with
this
group,
the
same
community
folks,
we
wouldn't
need
a
huge
meeting
with
everybody.
We
don't
need
a
presentation.
We
went
through
the
presentation
to
kind
of
frame
everything
we
could
have
a
follow-up
and
go
another
half
hour
or
45
minutes
or
whatever.
We
need
to
get
everybody's
comments
right
in
detail.
Just
like
we're
doing
right
now
and
then
maybe
plan
around
kind
of
the
walkthroughs.
Maybe
we
could
get
more
brainstorming
on
a
walk
through.
C
Maybe
we
could
have
that
within
the
next
two
weeks.
Another
follow-up
on
this
with
this
with
the
smaller
group
of
just
the
committee
and
myself
and
and
juliet
and
caitlin.
How
does
that
sound
to
everybody
yeah?
Something
like
that.
C
Why
don't
we
do
that
as
our
next
steps
that
we're
going
to
have
a
you
know
a
a
shorter,
more
focused
follow-up
like
this
to
maybe
go
over
a
specific
pinpointed
like
this
is
so
bad.
We
already
have
a
list
of
a
mile
long,
but
we
want
to
gather
it
all
discern
through
everything
right
and
then
you
know
we
have
our
data
collection
walkthroughs.
Then
we
start
developing
plans
and
developing
solutions,
so
I
think
it's
worth
instead
of
kind
of
rushing
through
and
we're
five
minutes
over.
C
Why
don't
we
do
that
plan
on?
I
can
set
up
an
abbreviated
part
two
with
just
a
subset
of
this
entire
call.
We
don't
need
everybody
in
the
city
on
just
kind
of
our
core
group
how's
that
sound.
L
Fantastic
yeah,
I
just
wanna,
I
just
wanted
to
say
in
addition
to
speed
and
volume.
Let's
not
forget
illegal
turns
not
observing
traffic
lights.
Stop
signs
yield
signs
crosswalks,
so
there
there
there
really
is
a
lot
going
on.
I
just
feel
like
it's.
The
wild
west
yeah.
C
Yeah
a
lot
of
wild
days,
you
know
what
we
should
have
is
work
with
the
seas
at
sea.
What's
the
c11
t11
yeah,
we
should
do
a
session
with
c11
and
the
captain
and
see
what
kind
of
resources
they
have
in
terms
of
enforcement,
and
you
know
some
sting
operations
or
whatever
we
might
need
see.
If
we
can
partner
with
c11.
I
know
that
they're,
I'm
sure
they're
stretched
in
like
everybody
else,
but
yeah
enforcement
for
moving
violations
right.
C
That's
that's
the
police
that
we
need
their
help
to
crack
down
on
the
wild
wild
west
to
be
at
the
appointment.
E
L
L
License
plates,
but
they
said
that's
not
good
enough
if
they're.
C
That's
the
mantra:
okay,
all
right,
then,
maybe
you'll
have
to
do
it
and
honestly,
with
the
phone,
your
camera
phone
or
something
and
submit
it
somehow
all
right.
So
I
guess
and
then
in
terms
of
next
steps,
the
way
we'll
do
it
is
we
will
have
within
the
next.
C
You
know
say
you
know,
within
within
two
weeks,
we'll
we'll
meet
again.
Small
group
continue
this
conversation
and
then
plan
on
the
walkthroughs
for
like
early
march.
All
right.
I
think
this
was
hugely.
You
know
valuable
today.
C
To
get
this
thing
going
and
your
guidance
is
gonna
really
be
important
as
we
move
forward
to
bring
other
people
in
to
kind
of
have
different
issues
bubble
to
the
tops,
because
you
know
we
don't
have
unlimited
resources,
so
we
want
to
like
really
focus
on
what's
important
and
channel
our
resources
that
way.
So,
unless
there's
anything
else,
I'm
gonna
just
thank
everybody
for
their
participation,
stepping
up
for
caring
about
their
community
and
in
my
team
for
their
time
and
participation.
C
So
I'm
really
psyched
about
this,
and
you
know
just
you
know,
looking
forward
to
seeing
you
guys
next
time.
So
thanks
juliet
caitlyn
and
my
city
compatriots,
so
we'll
we'll
see
you
guys
soon.
You'll
hear
from
me
yeah.
