Description
The City of Boston held this meeting to provide an update on the Blue Hill Avenue Transportation Action Plan project. During the meeting, we presented our engagement team, including City staff and community-based engagement consultants. Then, we talked about the work we have done thus far. Afterwards, we shared updates on the bus rider survey conducted from April through June along Blue Hill Ave.. Finally, we had time for discussion.
A
A
We
like
to
start
our
meetings
going
over
our
project
goals.
These
have
been
the
goals
since
the
beginning
of
this
project
and
we
review
these
at
the
start
of
each
monthly
meeting
goal.
One
of
the
Blue
Hill
Avenue
transportation
action
plan
is
to
improve
pedestrian
safety
along
Blue
Hill
Ave
goal
two
is
to
expand
Transportation
options
and
reliability
and
goal
three
is
to
connect
infrastructure
Investments
to
the
work
of
other
City
departments
and
state
agencies,
like
the
ones
listed
here.
A
A
Goal
two
is
to
share
updates
on
the
bus
rider
survey
that
we
collected
and
go
through
that
data
and
recap:
some
additional
engagement
updates
from
the
month
of
July
and
goal
three
is
to
provide
an
up
an
overview
of
upcoming
engagements
and
how
to
get
involved
and
stay
involved
in
the
project
here.
I
will
hand
it
off
to
Chevella
for
groundworks.
B
Thank
you
Maya
and
good
evening.
Everyone.
My
name
is
Chevella
Lee
Pacheco,
since
we
are
working
towards
a
group
creating
something
together,
we
do
want
to
have
some
ground
rules
just
before
we
get
started
so
the
first
is
just
very
basic,
but
maintaining
respect
for
others
in
this
space,
whether
it's
on
the
city,
the
folks
on
this
call
who
are
leading
engagement
or
for
other
people
in
the
community.
Everyone
is
coming
to
this
ex
to
this
process,
with
different
experiences
and
different
opinions
in
a
different
vision
for
the
future.
B
We
also
ask
that
people
use
I
statements
if
you're
representing
a
neighborhood
association
or
group.
Just
please
share
who
you
are
speaking
for
when
you're
making
your
statement.
We
also
have
the
third
one
is
step
up
and
step
back.
If
you
are
not
someone
who's
speaking
often,
but
you
are
here
taking
your
time
to
be
in
this
meeting.
B
If
you
could
please
step
up
and
offer
your
opinions
in
your
thoughts
and
experiences
and
if
you're,
someone
that
we
have
heard
from,
if
you
could
just
take
a
step
back
to
allow
someone
else
to
speak,
I
just
want
to
remind
everyone
that
there
will
be
time
at
the
end
of
this
meeting
for
discussion
for
questions
and
answers.
So
please
try
to
keep
your
questions
until
then.
Thank
you.
A
So,
just
to
go
over
tonight's
agenda,
we're
going
to
do
our
regular
slides
of
meeting
the
team
going
over
our
project
overview
and
our
public
commitments.
Then
our
friends
at
the
livable
streets,
Alliance,
will
present
some
data
on
the
bus
rider
survey,
the
background
the
results,
our
methodology
and
lastly,
we
will
talk
about
how
to
connect
with
us
in
person
over
the
next
few
weeks
and
stay
up
to
date
with
the
project
so
Kirsty
over
to
you.
A
C
Hi
everybody
so
I'm
going
to
launch
our
typical
intro
poll,
which
seeks
to
get
an
idea
of
who's
in
the
room
with
us
today,
and
so
we're
asking
you
all
what
your
main
way
to
travel
along
Blue,
Hill
Ave,
is
why
this
is
your
primary
way
to
get
around
that's
optional.
If
you
want
to
tell
us
and
then
what
your
home
zip
code
is,
and
if
you
can't
get
the
poll
to
work,
please
feel
free
to
put
your
responses
in
the
chat.
C
C
And
share
the
results
with
you
all,
so
it
looks
like
we
have
primarily
folks
who
drive
on
Blue
Hill
Avenue
tonight,
so
about
two
two-thirds
of
folks
were
in
the
room
and
then,
after
that,
a
little
bit
less
than
a
quarter
of
people
who
take
the
bus
or
the
train
a
couple
folks
who
primarily
walk
and
one
person
who
says
other.
If
you
want
to
chat
us,
what
that
other
is
we'd
definitely
be
interested
to
hear
what
your
primary
way
of
getting
around
us.
C
C
My
name
is
Kirsty
Hostetter
I'm,
the
project
manager
on
the
Blue,
Hill
Avenue
transportation
action
plan
for
those
of
you
who
I
haven't
met,
as
you
can
see
on
this
slide,
I'm
joined
by
Maya,
who
kicked
us
off
tonight
as
a
Transit
Planner
on
our
team
and
also
by
the
lovely
Charlotte
Fleetwood,
who
has
been
helping
to
really
do
lead
our
engagement
process
around
the
matapan
square
area.
In
particular.
C
We
are
also
joined
by
many
of
our
other
colleagues,
both
across
the
city
and
state
who
have
been
working
with
us
tirelessly
on
this
project,
to
make
sure
that
we
are
helping
to
meet
that
third
goal
of
meeting
people
where
they're
at,
and
so
we
have
Kenya
Beeman,
who
is
a
community
liaison
for
the
Boston
Planning
and
Development
agency.
We
also
have
someone
from
our
office
of
housing
on
here
tonight.
We
work
with
all
of
these
other
departments.
C
You
see
here,
and
then
we
also
have
representatives
from
the
MBTA
here
since
we're
talking
a
lot
about
buses
on
Blue.
Hill
Avenue
want
to
make
sure
that
they're
in
every
conversation
and
they're
here
to
listen
to
your
your
feedback
and
then
usually
Ben
Muller
from
massdot
is
here
as
well,
although
he
had
to
miss
tonight
but
promises
that
he
will
be
watching
the
recording
so
and
for
the
next
slide.
I
will
pass
it
off
to
our
Consulting
team.
See
you
then.
D
D
But
during
this
phase
of
work,
we've
been
working
with
the
public
agencies
that
Kirsty
mentioned
so
the
transportation
department,
bpda
and
the
MBTA,
but
we
also
have
been
working
closely
with
Community
Partners
from
matapan
food
and
fitness
Coalition,
greater
growth,
Hall
main
streets,
greater
Mattapan,
neighborhood,
Council,
Mattapan,
Square,
mainstream
streets
and
the
Garrison
Trotter
neighborhood
association.
Those
groups
have
been
meeting
with
us
regularly
every
Monday
for
brainstorming
sessions
and
discussions
about
how
this
engagement
process
is
going
and
things
that
we
need
to
make
sure
are
accounted
for
in
our
process.
D
Obviously
there's
this
venue
that
happens
once
a
month,
but
we
have
another
a
number
of
other
ways
that
we've
been
meeting
with
people
over
the
last
year
and
a
half
which
I'll
share
with
you
in
the
next
slides
commitment
to
the
city
and
engagement
team
are
committed
to
improving
pedestrian
safety
along
Blue
Hill
Avenue,
the
chief
of
streets.
Yasha,
has
said
that
this
project
will
be
a
failure
in
his
eyes
if
pedestrian
safety
is
not
significantly
and
dramatically
improved
along
Blue
Hill
Avenue.
D
That
is
really
a
foundational
commitment
of
this
process
and
project,
and
the
only
thing
that
was
a
certain
outcome
on
day.
One
commitment
three
is
that
the
city
and
engagement
team
believes
that
the
Public
Funding
for
this
project
should
be
allocated
based
on
public
priorities,
and
so
you
know,
the
transportation
department
has
been
clear
from
the
start
that,
in
their
sort
of
professional
opinions,
bus
priority
would
be
a
great
benefit
to
Blue
Hill
Avenue.
D
D
D
You
know
you
can
see
the
stats
here
over
a
thousand
responses
from
multiple
surveys,
but
I
really
want
to
go
to
the
next
slide,
which
shows
a
kind
of
a
timeline
of
recent
things
that
we've
been
doing
and
things
really
have
ramped
up
since
January.
So
last
year
there
were
a
number
of
surveys:
survey
respondents
in
September
2019.
D
We
shared
in
one
of
the
meetings
a
few
months
ago,
some
of
the
highlights
from
the
bus
driver
survey
there's
been
drop-ins
at
Mattapan
station
and
Grove
Hall,
and
since
April
we've
done
bus
rider
surveys
which
are
actually
what
we're
going
to
focus
on
tonight.
Livable
streets
helped
us
with
that
and
we'll
be
sharing
some
of
the
highlights
from
those
surveys,
as
well
as
those
pop-up
exhibition,
which
was
developed
by
powerful
Pathways,
which
popped
up
in
Mattapan
and
Grove.
D
D
Just
now
there
are
upcoming
parking
studies
which
are
in
progress,
which
we
will
also
be
sharing
back,
and
we
will
have
additional
open
houses
much
like
the
one,
the
town
hall
that
was
hosted
in
2022
and
we'll
be
sort
of
figuring
out
when
that's
going
to
be
and
announcing
that
in
the
near
future.
Next
slide.
D
D
So
I'm
gonna
now
pass
it
to
Michaela
from
livable
streets.
Her
team
has
done
an
amazing
job
talking
to
hundreds
of
bus
riders
and
so
she's
going
to
give
us
some
of
the
stats
and
some
of
the
highlights
from
those
conversations
in
the
next
part
of
this
presentation
so
Michaela
the
screen
is
yours.
Thank.
E
E
E
So,
for
seven
weeks,
livable
streets
was
out
on
Blue
Hill
Ave
between
growth
between
Grove
Hall
and
Mattapan
Square,
anywhere
between
four
to
six
days.
A
week
talking
to
bus
riders,
we
had
a
team
of
about
30
volunteers
who
helped
us
accomplish
our
goal
of
collecting
about
500
surveys.
The
goal
of
this
Outreach
Outreach
was
to
raise
awareness
of
the
projects,
in
addition
to
better
understanding
the
needs
and
experiences
of
bus
riders
along
Blue
Hill
Ave.
E
E
E
We
surveyed
bus
riders
at
those
bus
stops
as
well,
so
this
Outreach
was
very
active
and
mobile
and
if
you
were
out
on
the
corridor
around
this
time,
you
might
have
seen
us
with
our
little
clipboards
and
with
the
blue
hill
lab
logo
or
a
woman
walking
up
and
down
a
few
blocks
at
a
time
for
an
hour
or
so,
and
that
was
me
and
the
street
Ambassador
is
out
on
the
street
doing
the
Outreach.
Can
you
go
to
the
next
slide?
E
Please
so
before
I
get
into
the
analysis
of
the
survey
results
I
wanted
to
share
the
questions
that
we
asked
folks.
The
survey
was
10
questions
overall
and
we
administered
the
surveys.
One
we
did
administer
the
surveys.
They
took
between
like
five
five
and
three
minutes,
but
not
everyone
or
could
or
did
respond
to
each
question,
and
that
was
because
some
people
simply
declined
to
respond
to
certain
questions
or
their
bus
came
and
they
needed
to
get
onto
the
bus.
So
the
10
questions
are
in
the
last
week.
E
How
have
you
traveled
along
Blue,
Hill
Ave
in
the
last
week?
Why
did
you
choose
to
take
the
bus
we're
in
Greater
Boston?
Are
these
places
located
what
would
make
a
trip
along
Blue
Hill,
Ave
more
ideal,
while
you
were
walking
on
or
walking
to
the
bus,
stop
along
Blue
Hill,
Ave
Are
there,
specific
crosswalks
or
other
locations
that
feel
unsafe
to
cross?
Are
there
any
improvements
you
would
like
to
see
along
Blue
Hill
lab?
Would
you
be
interested
in
receiving
updates
about
the
project?
E
E
So
341
people
out
of
425
surveys
shared
their
zip
codes
with
us.
282
of
those
folks
were
just
over
half
of
the
survey
group
live
in
Dorchester
and
Mattapan
and
Roxbury
and
in
this
map
the
very
light
yellow
means
that
we
collected
only
one
survey
from
a
person
who
lives
in
this
ZIP
code.
So
imagine
like
Somerville,
not
many
people
filled
out
that
survey.
The
light
orange
means
we
collected
two
to
eight
surveys.
The
deeper
orange
means
we
collected
9
to
17
and
for
the
deep
red
burgundy
we
collected
not
18
to
94.
E
We
also
conducted
the
survey
in
three
languages:
English,
Spanish
and
Haitian
Creole.
Here
is
the
percentage
split
as
well
as
the
the
numerical
split
of
that
and
overwhelmingly
we
collect
the
surveys
from
English
speakers
and
while
we
were
out
doing
this
engagement,
Spanish
and
Haitian
people
speakers
Did
decline
to
to
speak
to
us,
but
in
exchange
they
were
given
half
sheets
that
kind
of
explained
the
project
and
gave
them
an
opportunity
to
fill
out
the
survey
on
their
own
time
sideways.
E
E
So
the
next
question
was
in
the
last
week:
why
did
you
choose
to
take
the
bus?
We
had
422
responses
to
this
question,
a
pretty
straightforward
people
were
trying
to
get
to
work,
get
to
school,
visit,
friends
and
family,
get
to
the
grocery
store,
doctor's
appointments
and
church.
There
was
some
Fringe
responses
like
folks
running
random,
errands
and
going
to
restaurants,
but
for
the
most
part,
people
were
trying
to
be
on
time
for
the
things
that
were
important
to
them.
E
And
the
next
question
kind
of
addresses
where
in
Greater
Boston
are
the
locations
that
you
were
trying
to
get
to
located,
so
we're
just
trying
to
understand.
Where
is
school?
Where
is
work
and
we
had
153
responses
for
this
question
which,
personally,
if
a
random
person
on
the
street
asked
me
where
I
worked?
E
Okay,
question:
four:
what
would
make
your
bus
trips
along
Blue,
Hill,
Ave?
More
ideal,
no
surprise.
Hair
people
wanted
their
buses
to
come
more
consistently
folks,
one
of
their
trips
to
be
affected
by
traffic
less
as
well,
and
then
closely
followed
by
knowing
when
the
bus
will
come,
meaning
they
wanted
their
Transit
apps
to
be
more
accurate
or
to
have
like
an
MBTA
timetable
at
their
bus.
Stop.
E
E
E
This
question
is
not
explicitly
related
to
the
experience
of
riding
the
bus,
but
knowing
that
folks
often
have
to
cross
the
street
or
walk
a
little
further
to
get
to
their
desired
locations
or
the
bus
stop
talking
about
safety
of
the
sidewalk
and
road
was
really
important
to
us
during
this
Outreach.
So
here
we
thought
it
would
be
really
important
to
highlight
some
of
the
quotes
that
bus
riders
said
about
feeling
unsafe
crossing
the
street
and
I'll.
E
That's
a
great
question
for
us.
The
wants
for
more
seating
explains
a
explains
and
highlights
a
trends
that
we've
seen
in
other
neighborhoods
across
Greater
Boston
that
people
don't
only
use
bus
shelters
to
wait
for
the
bus,
but
bus,
shelters
and
seating
provide
rest
breaks
for
folks
who
are
walking
along
the
corridor,
especially
our
older
adults.
E
E
Another
theme
we
noticed
while
talking
to
rioters
was
about
personal
safety,
as
I
had
mentioned
before,
while
waiting
for
the
bus
and
being
on
the
bus,
particularly
when
talking
to
older,
older
adults
and
women.
This
this
theme
came
up
a
lot.
This
writer
says:
there's
more
violence
on
the
T
than
in
the
past.
E
This
writer
says
I
just
have
to
be
cautious
about
the
drivers,
always
thinking
that
they
have
the
right
of
way
and,
as
you
can
imagine,
folks
brought
up
how
they
noticed
differences
in
services
and
their
amenities,
while
traveling
to
and
in
different
neighborhoods
in
Boston,
by
bus.
So
this
writer
says
I
feel
like
going
downtown.
E
The
snow
removal
is
better
there
than
here
older
and
it's
difficult
to
get
over
snow
Banks
to
get
on
the
bus,
I
kind
of
blew
through
that
and
I'm
so
happy
to
take
questions.
But
that
is
the
general
like
data
that
we
collected
from
the
surveys,
and
it
was
truly
a
pleasure
to
get
out
there
and
talk
to
some
people
about
transportation
in
the
Greater
Boston
area.
So
happy
to
talk
to
you
all.
Thank
you.
C
So
if
we
could
go
to
the
next
slide,
Maya
last
poll
is
the
same.
One
is
last
meeting,
so
we
are
interested
here,
especially
given
what
you
just
learned
about
the
bus
rider
survey.
What
questions
do
you
have
about
this
project?
We
got
some
great
responses
last
time
and
I
did
want
to
highlight
some
of
the
ones
that
we
got,
that
we
are
working
on
answers
for
so
one
of
those
actually
was
where
the
survey
responses
you
all
we're
talking
about.
So
today's
presentation
was
part
of
that.
C
We
will
also
be
using
August
to
compile
and
consolidate
all
of
the
rest
of
the
information
that
we've
gathered
as
a
group
and
hope
to
have
that
available
for
you
all
for
the
public
in
September.
We
will
definitely
keep
you
updated
through
the
newsletter
on
all
of
that.
Some
other
questions
we
got
are
about.
You
know
how
will
the
city
address
areas
where
there
is
currently
double
and
triple
parking?
C
Oh
no,
I
didn't.
Okay,
sorry,
everybody
we
launch
here
we
go
okay,
we
also
got
some
questions
about
emergency
vehicles
and
whether
or
not
they
will
be
able
to
use
the
bus
lanes.
The
answer
is
yes,
but
all
of
these
are
some
of
the
great
questions
that
you
all
contributed
last
month.
So
thank
you
so
much
and
if
you
have
anything
else,
you
would
like
to
add.
Please
feel
free.
C
F
C
C
Absolutely-
and
these
are
more
for
questions,
please
feel
free
if
you
have
any
questions
that
have
been
shared
in
the
chat
like
I
said:
I'm,
noting
those
we'll
get
to
those
tonight
no
worries,
and
if
you'd
rather
just
ask
your
question
out
loud,
we
also
document
all
of
those.
So,
however,
you
would
like
to
ask
your
question
tonight,
in
whatever
form
that
takes
and
I
will
give
folks
about
a
minute
longer
to
type
in
their
question.
I
know,
especially
if
you're
joining
us
by
phone.
It
can
take
a
minute.
C
C
To
check
out
our
project
FAQs,
so
we're
going
to
talk
through
a
couple
of
ways
to
stay
involved.
This
is
the
first
one,
it's
a
great
one,
so
we
have
gotten
lots
of
amazing
questions
from
community
members
from
local
elected
officials
all
types
of
folks
throughout
this
process,
and
so
we
have
compiled
those
into
a
frequently
asked
questions
document
that
seeks
to
answer
a
lot
of
those
for
you
all.
We
have
that
available
in
English,
Spanish
and
Haitian
Creole
all
on
the
project
website,
and
you
can
also
access
them
here.
C
If
you
look
at
the
frequently
asked
questions
and
it
Sparks
a
new
question
for
you
something
we
haven't
answered,
then
we
have
a
form
that
is
both
linked
within
the
frequently
asked
questions
document
itself,
and
you
can
also
see
here
to
submit
a
new
question
to
make
sure
that
we
answer
it.
So
that
is
a
great
way
to
get
your
questions
into
us,
and
we
do
want
to
note
that
this
is
not
a
complete
list
of
all
the
important
questions.
C
As
we
receive
more
questions
and
they
come
in
and
we're
able
to
answer
them,
we
will
make
sure
to
update
this
document.
You'll
see
on
the
frequently
asked
questions
document,
we
always
have
a
last
updated
with
a
date,
so
you
can
know
exactly
how
current
it
is
and
we
are
already
working
on
the
next
version
of
that
document.
Getting
all
the
answers
together
getting
the
translations
in.
So
we
can
continue
updating
that,
for
you
all
next
slide,
please.
C
So
how
is
this
work
continuing?
As
we
mentioned,
this
is
sort
of
the
last
of
our
regularly
scheduled
virtual
community
meetings,
and
so
we
will
be
shifting
really
to
mostly
in-person
events
for
the
month
of
August.
While
we
work
to
do
a
huge
engagement
push
and
also
to
work
on
that
compiling
of
Engagement
information
that
we've
gotten
so
far
that
Stephen
spoke
to
at
the
beginning
of
this
meeting.
So
we
have
a
couple
of
large
public
events
coming
up.
C
Look
for
us
at
your
community
festivals
and
meetings,
we'll
be
at
the
Garrison
Trotter
neighborhood
association,
a
big
event
in
August.
We
have
a
not
your
average
public
meeting,
this
Thursday
from
6
to
8
p.m.
At
the
Franklin
Park
Clubhouse
there
will
be
food.
There
will
be
a
DJ.
You
can
learn
more
about
this
project.
C
There
will
also
be
folks
there
from
other
City
departments,
so
it's
a
great
way
to
learn
more
about
what's
happening
on
this
project
and
we'll
actually
get
into
that
a
little
bit
deeper
on
the
next
slide,
with
some
sign
up
links
and
then
the
other
thing
is
that
we'll
be
hosting
individual
office
hours.
So
these
will
be
one-on-one.
C
Conversations
that
you
can
have
with
me
and
I
will
send
those
out
soon
or
we'll
get
to
that
in
just
a
minute
on
the
following
slides
and
then
what
else
we'll
be
working
on
during
the
month
of
August
through
September
parking
study,
so
we
will
be
looking
throughout
the
corridor
at
parking
use
and
demand,
including
sort
of
how
long
are
people
parking?
Where
are
they
parking?
How
many
parking
spaces
are
in
use
at
a
time
and
sort
of
where
does
it
seem
like
people
are
coming
from
to
use
parking
spaces?
C
We
are
also
working
with
our
partners
at
the
metropolitan
area,
planning,
Council
or
mapc.
You
might
not
have
heard
of
them
before,
but
they
are
a
regional
planning
body,
so
they
actually
work
not
quite
at
the
state
level,
but
at
the
regional
level,
and
they
plan
help
make
plans
for
the
entire
Greater
Boston
area,
so
they
are
doing
for
us
a
housing
study
along
Blue,
Hill
Avenue.
That
is
going
to
look
to
answer
these
key
questions.
C
C
And
then
third
What
policies
can
be
put
in
place
to
increase
housing
stability,
enhance
housing
opportunities
and
Foster
Transit
usage,
so
they
will
be
putting
together.
That
study,
we're
also
working
in
partnership
with
folks
from
our
city
of
Boston
office
of
housing
on
that
too,
and
we
hope
to
have
results
to
share
from
those
studies
this
year.
C
Next
slide.
Please
so
again
talking
more
about
some
of
those
upcoming
engagement
activities,
the
not
your
average
public
meeting.
So
this
is
being
hosted
by
consult
Lila
again
at
the
Franklin
Park
Clubhouse,
this
Thursday
it
should
be
an
excellent
time.
It
is
not
like
your
typical
public
meeting
like
I
said:
we'll
have
food.
C
If
we
go
to
the
next
slide,
these
are
those
Virtual
Office
hours,
I
talked
about
so
even
though
we're
you
know,
this
is
the
last
virtual
community
meeting
we're
having
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
folks
didn't
feel
like
we
were
just
disappearing
and
going
away
so
I
will
be
available,
Tuesdays
and
Wednesdays
for
the
full
month
of
August.
You
can
sign
up
for
a
sort
of
15-minute
slot
to
talk
with
just
me
and
you
get
into
any
of
the
questions
you
have
about
the
project,
the
process
or
the
design
options.
C
If
these
times
don't
work
for
you,
there
is
a
project,
email
and
a
project
phone
number
on
the
next
slide,
just
call
or
email
we'll
find
a
time
to
get
signed
up
for
those.
So
this
is
the
project
phone
number.
This
is
the
project
website.
The
project
email
we'll
make
sure
that
by
tomorrow,
all
of
those
office
hours
sign
ups
are
also
posted
on
the
project
website,
but
I
will
also
put
that
sign
up
in
the
chat.
So
you
all
have
it.
C
If
you
want
to
get
in
touch
with
me,
okay,
so
and
one
Amendment,
as
we
actually
did-
thank
you
Charlotte
for
posting
finalized,
Carter
post,
so
that
open
house
will
happen
on
August
7th
from
6
to
8,
PM,
so
mark
your
calendars.
We
would
love
to
see
you
there
and
again
we'll
send
out
all
of
this
information
in
a
follow-up
email,
because
I
know
it's
a
lot,
but
with
that
I
think
we
will
go
ahead
and
open
it
up
for
Q
a
Maya.
C
If
you
want
to
stop
sharing
your
screen
for
now,
but
maybe
be
prepared,
folks
might
want
to
reference.
The
bus
rider
slides,
especially
and
I,
am
going
to
note
folks
who
I
know
ask
questions
in
the
chat,
so
I
will
ask
you
to
unmute.
If
you
want
to
ask
your
question
out
loud,
if
you
don't
feel
comfortable
asking
it
out
loud,
you
don't
have
to
come
off
of
mute.
I
will
go,
find
the
question
and
ask
it
instead,
but
first
larae,
broussan,
I,
hope
I
said
that
right,
my
apologies.
G
C
F
E
So
I
think
I'll
start
with
the
bottom
or
the
last
few
questions
in
terms
of
like
where's,
your
cross
street
where's,
your
ZIP
code.
Do
you
want
to
stay
involved,
so
go
stay
involved
questions
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
everyone
knew
that
there
were
other
touch
points
to
this
project,
so
not
just
the
bus
rider
Outreach.
That
was
maybe
like
three
to
five
minutes
long,
but
also
that
they
could
attend
meetings
like
this
that
they
could
also
be
paid
and
be
involved
in
the
real
talks
as
well.
E
So
we
wanted
to
collect
phone
numbers
and
email
addresses
so
that
they
can
be
a
part
of
this
whole
ecosystem
as
well.
We
wanted
to
collect
the
zip
codes
and
cross
streets,
so
we
can
really
understand
who
is
like
in
the
neighborhood
or
or
I
should
say
who
is
taking
the
bus
at
the
bus,
stops
that
that
we
are
that
we
did
the
Outreach
at
and
then
the
I
would
say.
E
E
E
C
F
H
E
So
we
didn't
actually
collect
the
exact
age
of
the
writers
that
we
talked
to.
We've
had
group
bracket
of
like
child
young,
adult
adult
and
older
adult
and
I
can
tell
you
that
52
fell
into
that
adult
category.
20
fell
into
that
older
adult
category,
22
fell
into
the
young
adult
category
and
then
the
rest
that
were
identified
as
as
children.
H
Just
think
that
throughout
the
survey,
if
you
can,
you
know,
keep
us
informed
as
to
what
are
the
groups
that
are
being
surveyed
and
how
you
know
they
respond,
because
it
would
be
a
little
different
if
we
have
a
different
demand
for
the
U.S
services
and
understanding.
Of
course,
you
know
about
parking
and
why
that
may
be
or
may
not
be
important.
That
would
have
an
impact
on
how
they
Define
it,
because
they
don't
have
any
demand
for
parking
because
they
don't
cry.
Thank
you.
D
I
I
My
thinking
is
you
have
traffic
coming
in
on
two
lanes
in
both
directions
now
and
you're,
reducing
to
in
most
spaces
one
lane
for
moving
vehicles
and
I
want
to
make
sure
you're
addressing
that
flow
of
traffic
moving
from
one
moving
from
two
lanes
into
one
lane,
because
every
driver
I've
talked
to
has
been
very
clear
that
they
think
that
this
is
a
you
know.
This
is
not
a
working
plan.
I
C
It
does
no
miscon.
You
always
come
here
with
great
questions.
So
yes,
it's,
there
is
absolutely
a
question
of
you
know.
Are
we
thinking
about
the
number
of
people
who
drive
today
and
all
of
that
and
it
does
depend
on
which
part
of
the
corridor
you're
on,
but
the
you
know,
the
design
that
we
have
online
does
show
in
certain
areas
going
down
to
to
one
traveling.
C
The
first
thing
I
want
to
say
is
that
the
concept
design
that
we
show
that's
sort
of
the
multimodal
corridor
option,
so
that
includes
the
bus
lane,
the
bike
lane
all
the
green
infrastructure.
Everything
was
very
much
so
an
exercise
in
answering
the
question:
will
it
fit
and
if
it
does
fit,
what
are
the
choices
that
we
made
to
make
it
fit,
and
so
those
are
all
outlined
there.
C
But
that
is
not
to
say
that
if
you
know
we
decide
that
we're
moving
forward
with
the
multimodal
corridor
option
that
it
would
look
exactly
like
that
or
anything
of
that
nature.
There
would
still
be
a
lot
of
questions
to
have
about
the
exact
trade-offs
and
sort
of
number
of
lanes
and
how
we're
using
the
street
space,
but
in
terms
of
you
know,
if
we
are
talking
about
giving
away
into
a
to
buses
in
each
direction,
there's
a
couple
of
things
that
we're
doing
so.
C
The
first
is
I
actually
have
a
conversation
with
the
town
of
Milton
on
Friday
we're
working
with
our
regional
Partners
to
make
sure
that
we're
checking
in
with
them
about
you
know
how
people
are
flowing
between
our
cities
and
our
municipalities.
Not
just
you
know,
within
the
city
of
Boston.
We
know
that
we
need
to
coordinate.
C
We
are
also
working
on
making
sure
that
their
the
design
does
not
create
sort
of.
We
are
working
to
make
sure
that
people
are
not
going
to
instead
of
using
Blue
Hill
Avenue
speed
down
neighborhood
side
streets.
So
one
thing
that
we
like
to
do
as
a
city
and
one
thing
that
we
are
definitely
looking
to
do
in
as
many
places
as
possible
on
Blue
Hill
Avenue
is
to
create
what's
called
raised,
crosswalks.
C
So,
basically,
instead
of
kind
of
going
down
stepping
down
the
ramp
crossing
the
street
and
stepping
back
up,
you
make
it
so
that
the
street
and
the
sidewalk
that's
all
at
the
same
level.
So
it's
a
crosswalk
and
it's
also
a
speed
hump.
Basically,
so
it
disincentivizes
people
from
speeding
off
a
Blue,
Hill
Avenue
onto
neighborhood
side
streets.
I
also
want
to
note,
too,
that
we're
still
early
in
the
design
process.
So
some
of
your
questions,
we
are
still
working
with
our
engineering
Partners
to
assess
exactly
what
you
know.
C
Potential
impacts
might
be
in
terms
of
congestion
and
things
like
that,
and
we
are
hoping
to
start
on
those
analyzes
soon
we're
collecting
the
data.
We
need
right
now
and
we
are
looking
at
sort
of
working
with
some
of
the
data
we
have
that
might
not
be
sort
of
as
exact
or
as
recent,
but
so
that
we
can
answer
this
question
sooner
rather
than
later,
because
they
are
definitely
very
good
ones.
D
The
the
link
that
Maya
put
into
the
chat
with
last
month's
presentation,
which
shows
two
different
approaches.
One
is
what
Kirsty
mentioned
and
what
miss
Connie
was
asking
about,
which
is
a
really
a
kind
of
a
redesign
of
the
entire
Street
layout.
There's
another
approach
which
you
can
find
in
that
same
presentation,
which
takes
a
much
more
light,
touch
tactical
approach
to
traffic
enforcement
and
Generals
a
sidewalk
and
crosswalk
improvements,
but
doesn't
really
change
the
cross-section
of
the
corridor
at
all.
D
Those
are
kind
of
the
two
extremes
and
probably
where
things
are
going
to
follow
somewhere
in
between,
but
we
wanted
to
look
at
both
of
those
extreme
polls
of
of
possibility,
which
either
one
of
those
or
somewhere
in
between
is
what
can
happen.
But
I
want
to
just
be
clear
that
there
is
not
a
design
that
we're
talking
about
that
has
been
decided
upon
and
now
we're
detailing.
D
We
are
still
in
the
point
of
conversation
about
where,
along
that
Spectrum
Community
consensus
is
going
to
fall,
and
so
it
could
be
at
either
Pole
or
somewhere
in
between
so
likely
to
be
somewhere
in
between.
So
I
just
wanted
to
make
that
clear.
If
anyone
is
wondering
like
what
design
are
we
talking
about,
you
can
look
at
last
month's
presentation.
There
are
two
different
extreme
scenarios
that
were
put
forward
for
the
sake
of
conversation,
but
no
design
has
been
determined
or
selected
or
agreed
upon
by
anyone.
Yet.
J
Oh
good
evening,
hello,
quick
questions,
a
couple
of
things
going
on
here:
people
and
it's
always
about
cause
and
effect
wherever
you
do
something
in
one
area.
The
other
area
gets
affected
by
that
and
by
you
putting
Colombia
and
Siever
and
Blue
Hill
Ave
into
one
lane,
you're
going
to
make
custom
streets,
and
when
you
talk
about
trying
to
get
the
people
to
slow
down,
so
the
people
can
cross
the
street
safely.
J
J
Well,
if
you're
not
going
to
slow
the
major
on
the
streets
slowing
down,
but
you
still
speed
on
those
streets
for
a
certain
distance
and
I
must
say
the
speed
humps
that
they
put
in
our
area
are
not
working.
They're
hired
to
complain
on
the
section
of
the
city
that
I
live
in
and
I
and
I
live
in
the
garage
to
try
the
neighborhood
association.
Just
so
you
know,
and
I
want
them,
people
to
understand
that.
J
Columbia
Siever
and
blue
hill.
You
have
to
understand
that
people
and
if
you
jump
to
the
neighborhoods
and
address
it
and
help
us,
we
come
into
the
big
event
we
got
coming
up
in
August.
Please
understand,
there's
a
cause
and
effect
going
on
here
and
we
need
you
to
understand
again
live
in
this
neighborhood.
We
would
see
streets
for
all
parts
of
Boston,
but
if
you
just
cut
it
down
to
one
street
around
the
one
lane
you're
gonna
make
it
so
people
are
speeding
on
others.
Please
realize
that.
Thank
you.
C
Thanks
Mr
Sutherland
and
yes,
looking
forward
to
seeing
you
in
August
at
the
Garrison
Charter
event,
I'll
ask
my
colleagues
Charlotte
Fleetwood.
If
she
wants
to
chime
in
at
all,
but
I
do
want
to
note
that
I
I
hear
you,
and
we
have
heard
in
this
project,
among
others,
that
people
are
throughout
the
city
of
Boston,
very
concerned
about
speeding
on
neighborhood
streets
on
side
streets
on
streets.
C
Where
you
know,
people
should
not
be
going
the
speeds
that
they
are,
and
so
that
is
part
of
what
influence
sort
of
the
launch
of
our
safety
surge
that
we
will
be
undertaking
as
a
city,
Maya
I'm,
not
sure
if
you
can
find
the
if
you
could
find
the
link
for
that
press
release
here,
but
basically
that
involves
sort
of
looking
at
the
city
comprehensively
and
doing
a
couple
of
things.
So
the
first
is
installing
speed
bumps.
C
Although
I
hear
you
saying
that
you
don't
feel
like
they're
working
in
your
neighborhood,
so
I'm
definitely
open
to
chatting
more
with
you
about
that
and
maybe
trying
to
connect
you
to
folks
internally.
Thank
you.
So
we
can
talk
through
that.
Yes,
please
feel
free
to
use
any
of
the
communication
channels
we've
talked
about,
and
then
the
so
part
of
it
is
speed.
J
Going
up
past
the
Nathan
Hale
School,
there's
a
raised
crosswalk
huge,
been
here
for
the
last
five
years,
has
not
been
an
instrument
to
slow
track
or
emergency
vehicles.
With
that
being
said,
I
understand
their
wealth
plan
on
the
board,
to
put
one
within
the
UA
on
humble,
to
go
across
from
Monroe
to
the
other
side
of
Humboldt.
I
would
love
to
see
that
there
that's
a
major
road
and
if
you
can
do
it
there,
we
have
five
schools
in
this
neighborhood.
But
I
know
this
is
the
Blue
Hill
app
task?
J
I,
don't
want
to
go
off
course
yet
still
raised,
crosswalks
will
slow
Speeders
down
and
if
you
don't
put
them
in
when
will
it
look
just
like
they
have
the
little
baby
that
got
hit
by
with
the
car?
It
was
a
speeding.
Car
people
are
speeding.
Please
understand
that
and
really
do
something
not
just
talk
and
make
humps
that
only
slow
you
down
most
new
SUVs
and
regular
cars
suspensions
go
over
that
20
hump,
like
nothing
and
I.
Think
so.
Please
understand
that
yeah.
C
C
Of
course,
yeah
I'm
to
be
clear,
I'm,
not
an
engineer,
I'm
a
planner,
so
I
don't
work
as
much
in
that
in
that
area.
But
I
can
talk
with
some
folks
who
I
work
with
who
are
much
more
well-versed,
and
things
like
that.
So
I
can
look
into
that.
So
the
other,
the
other
half
of
the
safety
search
just
to
cover
that
real,
quick,
really
focuses
on
how
we
work
at
our
intersections.
C
C
And
that's
actually
not
something
that
we
can
do
very
easily,
because
there
are
a
ton
of
decisions
that
inform
exactly
how
we
time
our
traffic
lights,
because
if
you
think
about
how
a
traffic
Cycle
Works
like
between
the
time
you
get
a
green
and
then
until
you
get
the
green
again,
it's
like
a
pie
and
you
have
to
decide
exactly
which
parts
of
that
pie
get
allocated
to
which
directions,
whether
they
get
allocated
cars
or
to
pass
strands.
At
the
same
time.
C
At
different
times,
all
of
that,
and
so
with
our
new
signals
policy,
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
make
it
to
give
pedestrian
and
pedestrians
and
drivers
safer
opportunities
to
move.
So
what
this
means
is,
for
example,
implementing
a
policy
called
a
leading
pedestrian
light,
so
if
you've
ever
waited
at
a
crosswalk
or
if
you've
ever
been,
you
know
waiting
for
a
left-hand
turn.
C
Sometimes
you
get
the
Green
Arrow
and
The
Pedestrian
gets
the
their
little
walking
man
at
the
exact
same
time,
and
what
that
means
is
you
might
not
see
if
someone's
behind
a
car
or
if
you
know
like
the
sight
lines,
aren't
good.
You
can't
see
them
that
can
create
some
conflict.
So
what
we
are
moving
towards
as
a
city
is
letting
The
Pedestrian
light
go
a
little
bit
earlier,
and
so
that
way
someone
can
get
out
into
the
crosswalk.
C
You
can
actually
see
them
if
you're
trying
to
take
a
left
or,
if
you're,
trying
to
take
a
right.
So
you
know
they're
there.
So
it's
safer
for
you,
it's
less
stressful
for
your
for
you
if
you're
driving
and
it's
also
much
safer
for
that
person
crossing
the
street.
So
those
are
some
of
the
fundamentals
we're
trying
to
address.
C
But
you
know
the
fact
that
that
program
exists
is
also
a
testament
to
the
fact
that
we
have
been
hearing
this
feedback
from
folks
like
yourself,
Mr
Sutherland,
so
I
just
want
to
say
that
that
I
hear
you.
We
are
working
on
things
programmatically,
where
we
can
and
that
we
have
definitely
heard
that
feedback
within
sort
of
this
process
in
general,
and
it
will
be
going
into
our
engagement,
summary
report
and
everything
too,
to
inform
decision
makers
so
and
then
I
will
definitely
get
in
touch
with
you.
Also.
C
H
Thank
you,
yeah.
There
was
a
couple
of
follow-ups
because
they
had
a
couple
questions
in
the
chat
that
you
all
related
to
the
data
and
how
you
put
it
together,
but
you
said,
94
of
the
people's
survey
was
driving
age
and
I
was
questioning
whether
that
was
correct,
because
you
see
the
categories:
I'm,
not
sure
how
you
broke.
The
categories
between
down
children
and
teens
and
young
adults,
but
I
know
that
all
the
teams
between
12
and
16
are
drivers,
and
that
was
a
considerable
amount
of
your
survey
based
on
the
numbers
you
gave.
H
That
was
can
save
our
observation
that
it
would
save
a
considerable
amount
of
time
of
cars
with
double
and
triple
clocked,
particularly
during
rush
hour,
and
if
the
enforcement
of
traffic
lights
and
people
will
block
the
intersection
of
running
traffic
lights
was
taken
under
consideration.
So
I'm
hopeful
that
your
analysis,
as
well
as
your
survey
of
Blue
Hill
Avenue,
will
take
a
no
bill
option
and
address.
H
H
The
other
question
that
was
raised
was
someone
said
that
the
situation
on
Columbus
Avenue
people
on
Columbus
Avenue
who
live
there,
do
not
stop
in
front
of
their
houses
anymore,
based
on
the
design
that
you
put
forward
already
at
least
one
of
the
designs,
a
significant
amount
of
the
parking
along
people
have,
and
it
will
be
impacted.
So
the
question
I'm
asking
is
on
your
preliminary
design.
What
percentage
of
parking
that
President
exists
will
be
impacted
by
the
designs
that
you've
proposed
at
this
point?
C
Thanks
Mr
Lisa,
so
I
heard
three
separate
follow-up
questions
in
there.
One
was
about
94,
so
Michaela
I
will
ask
you
to
follow
up
on
that,
either
in
the
chat
or
out
loud
to
the
enforcement
piece.
So
we
have
been
talking
about
enforcement
and
we've
been
there's
really
miss
really.
So
you
know
this
I
know
that
you
know
this,
but
just
for
other
folks
in
the
room,
there's
sort
of
two
separate
pieces
of
enforcement.
When
we
talk
about
enforcement
on
Blue
Hill
Avenue,
there
is
parking
enforcement
which
is
controlled
by
BTD.
C
So
that's
for
vehicles
that
are
like
not
moving
they're
double
parked
they're
parked
in
a
bus,
stop
that
is
controlled
by
sort
of
Civilian
Personnel
who
are
employed
by
the
Boston
transportation
department.
On
the
other.
On
the
flip
side,
there's
also
traffic
enforcement,
which
Mr
Lisa
is
talking
to
mainly
with
chapter
90.,
and
so
that
is
our
Boston
Police
Department,
our
police
officers,
who
are
the
ones
with
the
authority
to
to
manage
traffic
traffic
violations.
H
I
just
want
to
be
clear:
chapter
90
controls,
parking
and
driving
anything
that
involves
motor
vehicle
chapter
90,
covers
and
so
police
officers
of
the
MBTA
police,
State
Police,
who
have
control
over
certain
possible
to
have
New
Boston,
Police
Department.
They
all
have
authority
to
ticket
and
to
move
people
who
are
violating
the
track.
The
traffic
laws
on
the
on
the
roadway.
So
it's
not
civilian
versus
law
enforcement.
C
Sorry,
Mr
Lisa
you're
right
I
in
in
it
is
yes,
police
officers
can
absolutely
ticket
parked
Vehicles.
They
tend
to
leave
that
to
our
parking
enforcement
officer,
since
we
have
a
sort
of
separate
Force
for
that,
and
then
police
officers
are
in
charge
of
sort
of
moving
vehicles,
so
we
are
definitely
exploring
options
for
enforcement.
We've
been
having
conversations
with
local
B3
police
officers.
C
We
have
been
having
conversations
with
our
parking
enforcement
here
at
BTD
and
we
are
trying
to
hire
more
people
into
that
Force
and
so
sorry,
one
moment
our
interpreter
is
looking
to
unmute
her
socks.
Okay,
so
we
are
looking
to
hire
more
folks
into
our
parking
enforcement
in
terms
of
the
Washington
Street
bus
lanes.
C
So
it's
you
know
it
is
a
big
question.
It's
one
that
we're
working
on
for
Blue,
Hill
Avenue,
but
the
Boston
transportation
department.
We
can
control
Boston
Police
Department
have
a
lot
of
Demands
on
their
time
right
now.
They
are
also
understaffed,
and
so
they
are
making
decisions
sort
of
independently
on
how
to
allocate
time
to
traffic
enforcement
versus
the
many
other
responsibilities
that
we
have
and
we
are
talking
to
them
about
those
allocations.
But
traffic
enforcement
has
been
difficult
for
them
to
to
get
people
for
and
then
the
last
question
was
about
parking.
C
So
yes,
it
the
percentage
of
parking
under
sort
of
you
know
this
maximalist
multimodal
Corridor
sort
of
the
Extreme,
as
Stephen
put.
It
varies,
depending
on
which
part
of
the
corridor
you're
on
so
I
really
encourage
folks
to
sort
of
take
a
look
at
those
materials
online.
And
if
you
have
specific
questions
you
can
come
to
my
office
hours,
you
can
email
us,
you
can
call,
but
the
where
we're
having
to
make
decisions
are
they're
sort
of
a
trade-off.
C
How
do
we
value
those
different
parts
and
different?
Those
different
elements
are
going
to
serve
different
people,
and
so
it
is
a
discussion
we
need
to
have
about
about
who
the
streets
serving
who
is
serving
well,
who
it's
not
serving
well
and
kind
of
what
what
risks
and
trade-offs
those
all
have
I,
definitely
hear
you
on.
You
know
wanting
to
make
sure
that
people
have
access
where
they
need
to.
So
that's.
Why
we'll
be
doing
this
very
block
to
block
engagement,
continuing
to
engage
with
folks
on
the
ground
where
they
live?
C
We
have
Street
teams
that
are
going
out
trying
to
talk
to
people
as
they're
on
the
corridor
to
try
to
engage
them
in
some
of
those
conversations
about
you
know.
Do
you
often
do
pick
up
and
drop
off
here
like
do
you
have
children
that
you
pick
up
or
you
know?
Is
there
a
daycare
center
all
these
things
that
we're
we're
looking
at
very
closely,
so
just
want
to
emphasize
again
that
this
is
the
beginning
of
a
conversation,
not
the
end.
H
C
So
if
we
went
through,
if
we,
if
it's
sort
of
like
the
full
Center
running
bus
lane
full
protected
bike
lane
keeping
the
air
the
medians
with
significant
trees,
all
of
that
it
depends
on
the
section,
but
I
can
run
through
it
really
quickly.
So
between
Siever
and
Warren
we
would
there
would
be
a
loss
of
about
sorry
I'm
39
parking
spaces,
so
it
would
go
from
71
to
39
for
a
total
of
32.
C
C
C
American
Legion
and
West
View
Street.
So
that's
like
just
the
the
street.
That's
on
the
southern
end
of
harambe
Park.
We
would
go
from
150
parking
spaces,
minus
58
to
92
parking
spaces
and
then
from
West
View
Street
to
Morton.
We
would
go
from
126
minus
49
to
77
parking
spaces
and
then
finally
routing
us
off
heading
towards
Mattapan,
Square
C
between
Morton
and
Walk
Hill.
We
would
go
from
142
minus
39
parking
spaces
to
103
and
then
between
Walk
Hill
and.
C
Babson
we
would
go
from
115
minus
49
to
66.,
so
I
want
to
emphasize
again
that
that
is
so
when
we're
talking
about
parking,
there's
sort
of
two
aspects
to
the
equation
in
terms
of
parking
availability.
So
it's
a
combination
of
the
number
of
spaces
and
the
number
of
people
who
can
use
that
space
per
hour.
So
a
lot
of
parking
on
Blue,
Hill
Avenue
either
isn't
regulated,
meaning
like
there's
no
time
limit
or
it's
just
two
hours,
and
so
as
part
of
the
parking
study.
C
We
will
also
be
looking
at
all
of
that
to
see
whether
or
not
the
regulations
on
the
street
sort
of
match
the
needs
of
the
folks
who
are
next
to
that
part
of
the
street.
So
that
is
data
that
we
will
start
collecting
in
September.
We
don't
want
to
do
it
now,
because
school
is
not
in
session,
so
we
don't
think
it
would
be
an
accurate
representation
of
sort
of
like
the
maximum
use.
H
So
what
it
would
it
be
fair
to
say
that,
as
it
is
now,
47
of
the
existing
parking
would
be
lost
under
the
plan
that
you
have
already
designed,
which
is
not
complete,
but
at
least
in
this
preliminary
stage,
47,
which
doesn't
take
in
the
amount
of
new
housing
which
is
being
proposed
along
the
corridor
and
along
the
side
streets.
And
so
the
question
is:
where
do
those
40
that
47
percent
of
the
cars
that
were
on
Blue
Obama?
Where
do
they
go
now?
H
C
So
we're
working
with
our
mayor's
office
of
housing,
Partners
kind
of
making
sure
that
they
are
taking
into
account.
You
know
we
don't
have
it
ex.
We
have
not
decided
on
an
official
approach
yet
so
we
can't
say
exactly
what
parking
would
look
like
on
Blue
lavender,
whatever
this
project
turns
into
moving
forward,
but
we
have
been
working
with
them
to
talk
through
kind
of
you
know
what
parking
looks
like
at
those
developments
and
such
in
terms
of
you
know:
where
would
people
go?
C
That's
part
of
what
we
want
to
look
at
with
the
parking
study,
so
we
want
to
better
understand
where
people
parking,
how
long
are
they
parking
for?
Where
are
they
coming
from?
So
are
folks.
We've
heard
concerns
before,
for
example,
that
people
are
coming
from
outside
of
the
city
and
parking
on
Blue
Hill
Avenue.
C
So,
looking
at
how
well
all
of
our
new
Municipal
lots
are
used,
are
there
any
sort
of
solutions
we
can
come
up
with
that
better
use,
some
of
the
parking
around
our
schools
when
we
are
not
in
school
hours,
it's
not
being
used
by
teachers
and
students.
So
parking
is
something
we're
paying
a
lot
of
attention
to
and
I
just
want
to
reiterate
to
Steven's
Stephen's
comment
that
this
is
not.
This
is
by
no
means
the
final
design
like.
Even
if
there's
a
decision,
that's
made
to
move
forward
with
a
multimodal
approach.
C
I
can
guarantee
you.
It
will
not
look
like
the
design
that
is
posted
online
things
will
change
based
on
community
conversations,
and
that's
also
true,
even
too,
to
Mr
Sutherland's
Point
earlier
of
the
enhanced
existing
conditions,
option
which
just
looks
at
sort
of
smaller
scale,
improvements
to
enhance
pedestrian
safety
to
make
driving
safer,
to
make
everybody's
experience
safer
on
Blue,
Hill
Avenue,
you
know,
there's
a
lot
of
engineering
that
goes
into
to
putting
these
things
into
the
ground
will
be
able
to
put
raised
crosswalks
places.
We
did
an
extent
it
didn't
expect.
C
D
I
just
wanted
to
add
something
about
the
the
percentages
of
Ages.
You
know.
I
just
want
to.
You
know
be
straightforward,
that
no
matter
why
someone
takes
the
bus,
whether
they're
young,
whether
they're,
old
or
there's,
some
other
reason
their
voices
matter
to
this
process,
and
so
the
percentage
is
almost
to
me,
they're
good
to
know.
But
those
are
bus
riders
whose
voices
were
documenting
foreign.
A
A
We
have
certain
safety
standards
in
the
city
of
Boston
that
requires
we
have
certain
pedestrian
safety
elements
around
our
crosswalks
that
prioritize
sight
lines
between
drivers
and
pedestrians.
Things
of
that
nature,
and
there
are
a
lot
of
areas
along
blue
collab,
where
it's
not
up
to
that
standard.
So,
regardless
of
what
happens
with
or
without
a
bus
lane
or
any
other
aspect
of
the
street,
there
will
be
changes
in
how
the
parking
Works
to
make
sure
that
those
pedestrian
safety
elements
are
prioritized.
C
K
Hi
so
I
am
my
name
is
Audrey.
I
am
talking
as
an
individual
today,
but
I
do
work
for
powerful
Pathways
and
in
the
past,
I
have
done
Outreach
on
the
bus,
Network
redesign
and
so
I've
been
I'm
as
a
person
who
personally
commutes
in
and
out
of
Boston,
because
I
live
in
Brockton,
but
I
spent
a
lot
of
time
working
in
Boston
and
relying
on
my
own
car
and,
at
the
same
time,
still
engaging
with
community
members
that
rely
on
public
transport
to
navigate
like
their
everyday
lives.
K
I
I
think
it's
really
important
for,
while
we're
having
this
conversation
to
have
like
a
nuanced
approach
and
I
can
see
in
the
comment
section.
A
lot
of
people
are
are
speaking
to
their
frustrations
about
the
way
that
this
project
is
being
handled.
It's
prioritizing,
folks
that
rely
on
public
transport
and
bike
riding
and
I.
K
Don't
want
to
say
that
the
concerns
of
folks
who
rely
on
their
cars
I'm
a
person
who
relies
on
my
car
to
get
in
and
out
of
work
in
Boston
I'm,
not
saying
that
these
concerns,
especially
about
parking
and
especially
about
just
being
able
to
get
to
where
you
need
to
go
using
Google
Ave
is
these
are
all
like
people
under
change.
Is
is
something
that,
especially
when
so
many
like
people
like
I,
my
family,
used
to
live
in
Dorchester.
K
So
like
so
many
people
have
been
kept
out
of
the
process
of
creating
the
future
of
what
your
streets
look
like.
What
accessibility
looks
like
what
all
of
these
different
amenities
look
like,
and
it's
really
important
to
pay
attention
to
the
fact
that,
like
in
other
areas
in
Boston,
the
owner,
car
ownership
doesn't
have
to
be
to
the
same
level
as
it
does
in
Mattapan,
because
in
Mattapan
or
because
along
Blue,
Hill
Ave,
the
conditions
of
the
public
transport?
K
In
order
for
people
to
be
able
to
navigate
the
barriers
of
economic
upper
mobility,
and
so
people
who
are
participating
in
this
meeting
today,
I
really
want
to
bring
light
to
the
fact
that,
like
there
are
lots
of
adults
who
are
living
along
that
are
living
in
Mattapan
that
are
living
in
Dorchester
that
are
black
and
brown
that
are
struggling
to
support
their
families
that
aren't
able
to
come
to
this
meeting
today,
because
they
are
waiting
for
the
bus.
They
are
waiting
for
the
bus
to
get
home
to
their
kids
to
feed
their
kids.
K
K
You
know
I
I,
really,
I
really
hope
that
folks
can
take
a
second
and
pay
attention
to
the
fact
that
not
everybody
can
afford
to
buy
a
car
even
if
they
or
have
access
to
a
car,
even
if
they
are
of
driving
age
and
the
idea
of
bringing
more
law
enforcement
or
bringing
more
people
into
the
area.
More
police
cars.
K
More
parking
enforcement
cars
is
also
going
to
contribute
to
the
congestion
of
too
many
cars
being
on
Blue
Hill
Ave,
if
they're
constantly
being
there
to
give
people
tickets,
because
again,
people
aren't
going
to
just
stop
leaving
their
cars
places
without
enforcement.
We
acknowledge
that.
But
if
you
are
bringing
more
police
officers
and
if
you're,
bringing
more
Enforcement
Officers
into
an
environment
that
especially
has
a
high
concentration
of
people
who
are
historically
not
treated
well
by
law
enforcement.
That
is
not
going
to.
K
I'm
trying
really
hard
to
like
stay
objective,
but
what
it
means
to
have
access
to
to
be
able
to
to
go
to
and
from
work
to
be
able
to
get
home
to
participate
in
a
public
meeting
like
this
to
then
be
able
to
self-advocate
and
say:
oh
well,
I
need
these
amenities.
These
amenities
are
going
to
make
it
so
I
eventually
can't
afford
a
car.
K
There
are
they
it's
it's
very
much
a
consequence
of
negligence
of
Decades
of
negligence,
and
so
it
is
not
saying
that
the
way
that
things
are
going
now
or
the
conversations
that
are
happening
now,
that
should
have
happened
decades
ago,
are
fair.
Now
that
the
conditions
are
fair.
Now
that
people
who
have
worked
their
hardest
to
buy
a
car
to
then
support
their
families
to
overcome
the
obstacles
of
not
having
access
to
proper
to
proper
Transportation.
K
K
It's
very
disheartening
to
see
people
who
are
pillars
of
community
and
and
are
talking
about
advocating
for
a
community
and
then
not
speaking
with
the
intention
of
protecting
the
most
marginalized
and
I
would
like
to
think
that
that
wasn't
the
perspective
and
I
hope
it's
not,
and
so
again,
I
would
really
just
encourage
these
perspectives
to
be
brought
to
the
Forefront
into
these
conversations.
I
understand
that
as
a
car
owner,
you
do
not
want
to
lose
access
to
your
parking
space.
You
don't
want
to
not
be
able
to
use
your
car.
K
You
don't
want
to
miss
out
on
your
investment,
but
this
is
an
investment
in
community
going
forward
so
that
there
are
less
barriers
for
people
to
have
more
choices
as
to
how
to
navigate
these
different
things,
and
also
there
are
just
a
lot
of
details
within
the
project
like
the
idea
that
it's
going
to
lead
to
just
one
lane
throughout
the
whole
the
whole
the
whole
Transportation
action
plan.
That's
not
true.
K
It
would
be
mostly
two
lanes.
There's
three
lanes
of
traffic,
the
third
land
that
is
on
Blue
Hill
Ave,
that
is
on
the
majority
of
the
Hub.
Obviously,
there's
most
places
just
two
lanes,
but
there
are
sections
where
there
are
three
lanes,
but
that
third
lane
is
often
again
taken
up
by
people
who
are
double
parking.
So,
yes,
the
parking
issue
is
is
an
issue,
but
if
we
bring
more
law
enforcement
and
more
police
cars,
they
already
block
the
road
all
of
the
time
in
Dorchester
and
matapan
and
in
Roxbury.
K
That
is
already
an
issue,
and
it
is
not
an
easy
there's,
not
an
easy
solution
to
anything
but
constantly
having
oh
well
we're
gonna
focus
on
cars.
All
the
time
when
having
too
many
cars
is
the
issue
is
and
I'm
not
saying
that
we're
neglecting
cars,
or
we
should
tell
everyone
to
get
rid
of
their
cars,
but
we
need
to
have
a
nuanced
conversation
about
who
is
the
most
marginalized.
D
L
Thank
you,
oh
my
thing
is
that
I
do
both
I,
don't
always
have
access
to
a
car,
but
I
get
rides
sometimes
and
I
do
take
the
public
transportation
as
well,
but
I
really
think
don't
feel
like
this
is
even
still
here
anytime.
You're
talking
about
taking
away
any
type
of
parking
period
is
a
problem
and
I
could
walk
to
Mattapan
Square,
but
I.
Usually
you
know.
Unfortunately,
you
know
I
am
a
happy
place,
so
I
can't
walk
there.
L
L
One
is
I,
believe
the
Walnut
Ave
one
and
the
the
Walnut
Ave
one,
and
then
the
bus
stop
I,
think
in
front
of
the
high-rise,
the
senior
building
all
right,
but
the
other
one
further
down.
Columbus
Ave
is
kind
of,
but
not
a
lot,
and
you
know
getting
rid
of
a
lane
a
whole
Lane.
When
we
this
traffic,
now
we're
two
lanes.
I
think
you
know
that
I
know
you
know.
People
want
change
and
everything,
but
I
just
don't
feel
like
these
Solutions.
L
These
plans
here
are
the
best
ones,
I,
really
don't,
because
it's
the
way
they
just
took
a
lane
off
of
American
Legion
Highway,
that's
a
disaster,
and
then
it's
supposed
to
be
for
a
bike
which
I
never
see
any
bikes
on
there.
First
of
all,
but
it's
the
word
Highway
concerns
me
because
highways
I
didn't
think
bicycles
were
even
allowed
on
them
and
then
they,
you
know,
add
a
whole
name
and
there's
a
school
two
schools
there
and
you
know
plus
MBTA
bus.
L
D
D
You
registered
with
your
email
to
to
get
the
link
for
tonight,
and
so
you
will
get
a
follow-up
from
Kirsty
and
Maya,
which
will
give
all
of
the
dates
for
the
upcoming
events
over
the
next
couple
of
weeks,
as
well
as
links
to
the
FAQ.
The
frequently
asked
questions
and
links
for
you
to
submit
more
questions
and
comments
to
that
repository.
D
D
So
this
is
the
last
meeting
of
that
sort
of
stretch
of
meetings
that
we've
had
every
month
until
we
are
able
to
actually
pull
together.
That
report
and
have
something
to
share
with
you
again
and
so
during
the
month
of
August,
there's
going
to
be
a
kind
of
a
pause,
a
kind
of
a
quiet
pause
in
terms
of
this
monthly
touch
point.
D
But
we
will
be
reaching
back
out
to
folks
and
and
sharing
some
feedback
and
a
kind
of
a
more
comprehensive
way
towards
the
end
of
the
month
of
September,
and
so
please
keep
a
lookout
for
that
if
you've
attended
any
of
the
events
so
far,
you've
probably
shared
your
email
and
we
will
be
reaching
out
and
sharing
all
of
the
information
and
ways
to
continue
to
be
involved
so
Kirsty.
If
there's
nothing
else
to
cover
tonight,
I
think
we
can
close
out
the
meeting
nope.
