Description
Wednesday, April 13, 6:30 p.m.
The Boston Transportation Department is proposing changes along Pleasant Street to calm traffic speeds and make crosswalks better for kids, elders, and people with disabilities.
Agenda:
-Purpose of the project
-What we’ve heard so far
-Proposed changes
A
C
B
A
So
first
we'll
do
some
introductions.
Then
a
presentation
I'll
speak
to
the
purpose
of
the
project
and
what
we've
heard
so
far
and
then
we'll
get
to
some.
The
proposed
changes
along
the
way
at
each
location,
I'll
pause
and
we
can
have
an
opportunity
for
your
input.
We'd
love
to
hear
from
you
what
you
like
about
the
proposed
changes
and
any
questions
that
you
have.
A
A
E
A
I
would
like
to
do
a
brief
recap
of
the
project
goals
and
what
we've
done
so
far
so
we're
with
this
project.
We
are
aiming
to
calm
traffic
speeds
along
pleasant
street
and
we're
also
aimed
to
make
the
crosswalks
along
pleasant
street
safer
and
better
for
people
to
cross,
especially
people
who
are
biking
and
walking.
A
The
area
of
the
project
is
along
pleasant
street
and
it
will
from
east
cottage
down
to
sawyer.
We
can
make
changes
along
this
whole
stretch
of
pleasant
street
and
all
of
its
non-signalized
intersections.
We
will
not
be
making
changes
to
the
signalized
intersection
at
stoughton
street.
That's
currently
outside
the
scope
of
this
project.
A
A
So
I
mentioned
one
of
those
inputs
is
traffic
data.
We
did
collect
data
on
pleasant
street.
In
october
of
last
year
we
collected
the
number
of
vehicles
and
their
speeds
at
three
different
locations
along
the
corridor
and
at
those
locations-
oh
sorry,
yeah.
So
those
were
number
of
vehicles
and
speeds
and
then,
in
addition,
at
the
east
cottage
street
intersection
with
pond,
we
also
counted
how
many
people
were
walking,
biking
and
driving
and
how
they
were
how
they
were
using
that
intersection.
F
A
A
And
we
heard
a
lot
in
each
of
those
different
events
and
in
the
key
thing
themes
that
emerged
were
that
crosswalks
all
along
pleasant
street,
don't
feel
safe.
There's
often
poor
visibility
for
people
crossing
the
street
and
as
a
result
of
that,
people
didn't
feel
that
drivers
were
always
stopping
for
them.
A
So
after
that
meeting
in
december,
we
conducted
some
engineering
field
work,
so
we
observed
arrival
and
dismissal
at
the
edward
everett
elementary
school,
and
we
also
took
field
survey.
This
included,
very
importantly,
noting
the
locations
of
different
utilities
that
might
preclude
or
shape
the
types
of
designs
we're
able
to
do.
G
A
A
All
right
so
for
each
of
these
locations,
I'm
going
to
show
you
or
speak
a
little
bit
to
the
conditions
today
and
then
show
you
what
we
have
in
mind
for
possible
changes,
and
after
each
at
each
location,
I'll
then
pause.
And
we
can
hear
some
of
your.
What
you
like
and
any
questions
you
may
have
so
first
edward
everett.
A
A
So
what
we're
proposing
in
this
location
is
for
a
number
of
things.
First,
we
are
proposing
to
shift
the
location
of
this
crosswalk
a
little
bit
further
west
and
north,
and
this
does
a
few
things
one.
It
improves
the
sight
lines
and
visibility,
so
drivers
are
more
easily
able
to
see
when
pedestrians
are
in
the
crosswalk
and
we
believe
that
that
will
help
more
drivers
yield
to
pedestrians
and
result
in
less
delay
for
people
trying
to
cross
the
street.
A
A
A
H
You
serendipity,
my
name
is
brayton
and
I
live
at
54
pleasant
street.
I
was
on
the
walk
back
in
october,
which
I
really
enjoyed.
So
thank
you
for
organizing
that,
but
one
of
the
things
that
I
was
I'm
concerned
about
that
I
see
a
lot,
especially
during
school.
Pick
up
and
drop
off
is
in
front
of
the
gas
station
where
the
proposed
crosswalk
is
going.
Folks
will
often
park
right
on
the
sidewalk.
H
I've
seen
you
know
at
the
busy
or
times
up
to
four
people
just
parked
right
on
the
sidewalk,
and
it
can
be
really
unsafe
and
inconvenient,
especially
when
there's
a
lot
of
snow
on
the
ground,
and
there
are
people
getting
gas.
It
makes
it
just
really
difficult
to.
You
know
cross
that
part
of
the
street,
so
long
story
short.
D
But
I
do
hear
your
concern
currently,
there's
there's
I
mean
we
really
can't
do
anything
to
stop
people
from
parking
on
the
sidewalk
there,
because
it
it
kind
of
backs
into
the
gas
station.
At
the
same
level,
we
can
look
into
any
some
possible
treatment
options,
but
the
current
design
doesn't
have
anything
that
would
prevent
people
from
getting
there.
D
H

A
F
Hello,
yes,
my
name
is
michelle.
I
live
on
victoria
street
and
I
was
curious
sometimes
when
trying
to
pull
out
on
the
present
either
taking
a
left
or
right.
The
visibility
is
pretty
tricky,
mostly
because
there
is
parking
on
either
side
of
pleasant.
So,
just
being
you
know,
past
the
parked
cars
can
be
quite
difficult.
I
wasn't
sure
if
there
was
something
in
place
to
try
to
have
a
solve
for
that.
E
I
Hi
there
bing
broderick,
I'm
at
94,
pleasant
street,
and
I
also
went
on
the
walk
and
thank
you
very
much
for
doing
that.
It
was
great,
I
guess
my
question
about
the
placement
of
the
crosswalk
is:
the
crosswalk
is
largely
used
by
people
who
are
dropping
their
children
and
right
now,
there's
nowhere
to
drop
your
children
where
the
children
don't
have
to
cross
the
pathway
of
the
cars
going
in
and
out
of
the
gas
station,
and
I
just
want
to
raise
that
because
I
think
it
will
cause
problems
but
just
want
to
share
it.
I
A
D
B
D
People
how
to
drive
and
if
they
stop
there,
there's
not
a
lot.
I
I
can
do
that
the
everett
just
to
to
keep
going
on
that.
I
noticed
another
question
about
crossing
guards.
I
don't
know
if
they
have
one
all
the
time,
but
the
couple
of
times
I've
been
out
there.
They
have
had
a
crossing
guard
that
has
been
able
to
keep
people
outside
of
the
crosswalk.
D
A
A
D
Those
those
symbols
are
called
sharos,
they're
little
chevrons
with
bikes
underneath
them,
and
you
can
actually
see
there's
a
few
of
them
on
the
street
right
now.
They
don't
actually
end
up
doing
anything
and
they
don't
legally
mean
anything
and
once
people
get
used
to
them,
they
just
ignore
them.
We
don't
use
them
as
a
general
paint
thing
that
we
do
in
the
city,
except
in
very
specific
instances,
which
this
is
not.
A
All
right,
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
do
get
through
the
the
rest
of
the
different
locations
that
we're
looking
at,
so
I'm
going
to
move
on.
But
again,
if
we
once
we
move
through
everything,
we're
happy
to
take
further
questions
about
any
other
thing,
anything
that
we
already
went
through,
so
that
let's
move
to
moral
and
victoria
streets,
all
right,
so
more
than
victoria
are
a
pair
of
roads
that
do
not
align
exactly.
A
They
are
a
place
that
we
heard
from
people
that
about
poor
visibility
for
people
crossing
the
one
crosswalk
that
exists,
that's
aligned
with
victoria
street.
This
crosswalk
does
not
have
a
ramp
at
the
west
end
of
it.
It
kind
of
spits
you
into
some
some
grassy
area,
and
so
that,
of
course,
is
an
issue
in
addition
to
the
concerns
about
visibility.
C
A
A
I
think
that
hits
all
everything
all
the
changes
there
to
again
similar
to
before
anywhere
that
there
is
a
curve
extension
to
provide
that
visibility.
There
would
need
to
be
restrictions
in
in
parking.
Of
course,
there
are
already
some
extra
restrictions,
so
the
cumulative
impact
is
not
that
high
I'll
pause
there,
and
I
already
see
that
we
have
one
raised
hand.
So
jonathan.
J
Hi
I
live
at
18
victoria
street
right
next
to
michelle
and
her
family
and
I've
been
here
since
october
of
83
and
I've
quite
often
seen
pleasant
street
as
sort
of
a
speedway,
and
there
have
been
accidents
because
cars
will
usually
park
very
close
to
the
corner
of
victoria
street,
especially
on
sunday
and
what
I
I
stopped
the
stop
sign.
But
I
also
always
have
to
stop
a
second
time
to
make
sure
that
I
can
see
both
ways
in
order
to
turn
onto
pleasant
street.
J
D
J
D
So
what
we
can
do
as
part
of
this,
we
don't
want
to
restrict
any
more
parking
than
we
have
to
generally
that
that
doesn't
go
well,
but
you
already
have
the
space
restricted
south
of
the
intersection.
It's
just
not
reinforced,
so
an
option
that
we
have
is
daylighting,
where
we
put
paint
and
flex
posts
in
the
street
to
prevent
people
from
parking
in
that
area,
and
it
makes
it
much
easier.
Well
makes
it
so
people
follow
the
restrictions
better
and
gives
you
the
sight
lines
that
you
need
there.
J
D
Sure
so,
just
to
reiterate
here
this
this
day,
lighting
wouldn't
take
any
additional
parking.
You
guys
already
have
the
restriction.
It
would
just
reinforce
the
restriction
that
is
currently
there
so
that
people
won't
park
there
and
prevent
the
sight
lines
that
you
need
to
get
out
of
victoria
street.
D
A
D
A
And
then,
finally,
a
question
from
raheem:
how
can
we
as
neighbors,
get
together
and
get
resident
parking
on
all
of
our
streets,
and
that
is
a
question
that
is
outside
the
scope
of
this
project?
I
I
don't
know
that
I'm
have
the
most
up-to-date
information
on
the
status
of
resident
permit
parking.
I
believe
requests
were
on
hold
last
that
I
heard
dan.
Do
you
know
anything
different
than
that.
A
B
A
A
So
here's
the
what
we're
proposing
at
mayfield
street
here
we
are
hoping
to
build
some
curb
extensions
similar
to
the
locations
we
just
discussed.
We
are
not
proposing
to
raise
these
these
crossings
and
there's
a
few
reasons
to
this.
I
think
dan
could
probably
say
it
all
better,
but
one
we
we
would
not
do
two
raised
crossings
in
a
row
and
dan.
A
Maybe
you
can
speak
a
little
bit
more
than
exactly
why
that
is
but
and
we
and
if
we
only
did
one
of
them
there
would
not
be
safety
benefits
for
the
other
one,
and
we,
my
understanding,
is
when
we
looked
at
the
survey
for
this
location,
the
it
wouldn't
be
an
approp
or
very
easy
to
create
a
whole
raised
intersection,
but
dan,
I'm
sure
I
butchered
some
of
that.
So
if
you
could
speak.
D
D
A
A
A
A
A
A
And
here
you
can
see
the
parking
restrictions
that
would
be
needed
and
between
the
two
there's
not
much
difference
in
terms
of
the
parking
restrictions.
Option
b
does
provide
that
curb
extension
south
of
taft.
It
has
a
bit
more
planting
area
and
it
also
would
do
a
little
bit
more
to
discourage
vehicles
from
parking
in
this
in
the
area
between
the
race
crossing
and
taft
street.
That
would
be
illegal
to
park
there
because
we
would
be
restricting
it,
but
their
option
b
would
probably
have
greater
compliance.
A
L
Okay,
so
I
had
a
question
about
some
of
the
curve
extensions
just
it
seems
like.
Are
they
meant
to
simply
some
of
them?
I
can
understand,
but
other
ones
are
coming
in
a
direction
where
people
like,
I
guess,
on
option,
a
the
one.
That's
most
north.
You
know
people
will
be
turning
potentially
right
on
to
willis.
Is
that
curve
extension
there
just
to
give
people
more
visibility
to
the
pedestrians.
D
That
curb
extension
is
twofold:
one!
Yes,
it
does
that
and
two
it's
a
requirement
by
our
public
works
department
that
it
aligns
with
the
curb
south
of
it
on
the
far
side
of
the
intersection.
Thank
you
jen.
If
we
have
a
bump
out
on
one
side,
we
need
to
have
the
gentle
curve
that
we
do
on
the
far
side
out
to
that
width
so
that
they
match
so.
Yes,
it
gives
you
better
safety
benefits.
B
A
B
D
M
D
M
B
A
I'm
not
seeing
any
further
questions
on
this
one,
so
I'm
gonna
move
on,
but
again
happy
to
return
later
on,
and
here
we
are
at
the
feminists
of
our
project
east
cottage,
at
pond
in
pleasant.
So
we
heard
probably
the
most
about
this
location,
I
would
say
at
our
walk:
it
has
a
skewed
geometric
configuration.
A
We
actually
went
back
entire
or
at
some
old
maps,
and
it
seems
to
have
been
this
way
for
since
it
was
built.
Perhaps
so
this
isn't
this
isn't
new,
but
it
is
definitely
we've
noted
a
problem
for
a
lot
of
people
they
currently
there
are
crosswalks
at
three
legs
of
this
intersection
and
there's
also
a
pedestrian
refuge
island
in
the
west
side
of
the
east
cottage
street
approach.
A
So
this
was
definitely
a
pain
point
that
we
heard
about,
and
so
what
so?
This
in
this
location,
it's
it's
made
a
little
bit
complex
by
the
the
geometry
of
the
intersection
and
how
much
roadway
space
there
is.
So
I'm
going
to
walk
you
through
what
we're
proposing
okay.
So
so,
first
of
all
one
thing
you'll
note.
I
should
note
here
as
you're.
Looking
at
this
plan
is
that
this
in
this
location,
we
will
be
working
with.
We
call
like
temporary
materials
so
with
like
flex,
posts
and
paint.
A
There
are
not
engineered
built
components
that
are
changing
the
the
curb
line.
The
reason
for
this
is
that
we
really
heard
both
on
the
walk
and
in
december,
at
the
virtual
meeting,
the
need
for
a
quicker
intervention
to
slow
traffic
speeds
and
improve
pedestrian
safety,
and
we
felt
like
to
be
able
to
provide
the
safety
with
constructed
materials
was
going
to
be
outside
the
budget
of
this
project.
A
In
addition,
there
was
going
to
be
questions
about
what
all
of
this
additional
space
how
it
would
be
used
and
whether
because
it's
city-owned
roadway,
whether
the
parks
department
or
someone
in
the
city
would
be
able
to
maintain
that
that
space,
what
it
would
look
like
just
a
lot
of
longer-term
questions
that
weren't
going
to
be
answered
in
a
the
timeline.
You
all
wanted
to
see
in
terms
of
safety
improvements.
A
So
what
what
we
are
proposing
to
do
here
is
to.
I
want
to
take
this
starting
at
the
probably
the
biggest
problem
point
over
here
on
the
west
side
of
the
intersection
here.
We're
we're
trying
to
simplify
the
intersection
to
taper
it
into
just
one
lane
and
in
the
we
will
do
that
with
with
flex
posts
and
with
striping,
and
that
significantly
shortens
the
crossing
distance.
A
A
So
now,
moving
towards
the
south
we're
doing
a
similar
treatment
where
we're
gonna
be,
you
know,
restricting
parking
and
in
that
area
very
close
to
the
crosswalk,
which
is
also,
in
effect,
shortening
the
crossing
distance,
you'll,
see
kind
of
yellow
and
black
striped
symbol
here,
and
that
would
be
a
slow
turn
wedge.
So
that's
gonna.
A
So
one
of
the
things
we
should
say
is
that
in
we've
kind
of
analyzed
this,
the
the
movements
of
vehicles,
how
they,
what
kind
of
space
they
would
need
to
actually
make
this
this
s
turn
and
to
make
it
around
onto
pond
street
going
north,
and
this
is
sufficient
space
for
those
those
movements
and
so
we've
taken
the
space
that
was
not
needed
and
with
flex
plus,
will
prevent
people
from
from
using
that
area
or
vehicles
from
using
that
area.
Now
what
people?
A
A
We
believe
to
to
slow
the
speeding
and
the
fast
turns
and
make
it
a
lot
safer
for
people
walking
and
then
we'll
kind
of
set
up
us
as
a
city
and
the
neighbors
to
kind
of
have
conversations
about
what
happens
in
in
that
space
later
later
on.
So
I'm
gonna
stop
there
and
I'm
sure,
there's
lots
of
questions,
and
I'm
already
seeing
some
of
the
chat.
So
I'm
going
to
scroll
up
and
see
what
we
got.
N
Hey
there
quick
question:
I
live
at
the
intersection
of
pleasant
and
house
street
and,
as
has
already
been
mentioned,
cars
fly
through
there.
They
don't
respect
the
stop
sign.
They
turn
right
and
also
having
driven
through
there
a
couple
of
times
it's
really
difficult
to
to
do
that
because
of
the
parked
cars
on
either
side.
I'm
just
wondering
if
there's
been
any
talk
about
daylighting
that
intersection.
N
D
O
Yes
me:
I
live
on
east
cottage
street.
I
I
actually
just
have
an
echo
of
kind
of
the
last
question.
You
know
as
someone
who
walks
up
and
down
pleasant
street
like
twice
a
day
with
a
dog,
I
would
actually
say
the
house
pleasant
street
intersection
is
probably
one
of
the
most
dangerous
and
for
that
specific
reason
that
I,
I
think,
you're
technically
not
supposed
to
you,
know
park
within
a
certain
amount.
O
If
you
at
the
stop,
walk
or
sorry
the
stop
sign
on
houzz,
but
people
do
it
anyway,
and
obviously
people
coming
from
dorchester
to
pleasant
street
are
just
flying
down
that
road,
and
so
I
would
just
second
the
you
know.
The
idea
that
house
street,
that,
like
literally
on
house
street,
to
provide
visibility
for
for
pedestrians
crossing
house
street
is
something
that
really
needs
to
be
looked
at.
F
F
E
B
P
A
minute,
okay,
thank
you.
I
was
very
excited
to
see
this
intersection
at
east
cottage
and
pond
street
after
seeing
all
the
previous
ones,
because
they
were
so
beautiful,
and
this
one
leaves
me
with
a
lot
of
concerns.
Are
the
temporary
plastic
bollards
being
put
in
you
said,
so
we
could
get
to
the
address
the
safety
issues
quicker.
P
So
it's
not
a
funding
issue.
It
is
it
like.
Will
these
be
done
then
much
much
much
sooner
than
the
rest
of
the
street,
because
this
bollards
tend
to
get
run
over
and
damaged
and
the
city
we
would
have
to
rely
on
the
city
to
maintain
them,
which
is
not
realistic.
You
never.
You
just
never
know
with
budgeting
issues
and
things
like
that.
Something
more
permanent
is
really
required
at
this
most
dangerous
intersection
of
the
entire
street.
P
P
D
D
D
D
We
do
not
have
the
timeline
yet,
so
I
cannot
tell
you
exactly
when
this
will
go
in
I'd
like
to
think
that
it
will
be
sooner
than
the
rest
of
it,
but
I
can't
confirm
that
right
now
and
as
for
the
flex
posts,
we
do
check
them
quarterly.
They
will
be
put
back
if
they
are
knocked
down
and
if
there
are
serial
offender
flex
posts,
we
may
readjust
the
design
to
make
sure
that
either
the
flex
was
removed
so
that
they're
not
run
over
every
other
day
or
actually
that's
that's
really
it
we
can.
D
A
D
Have
we
we
don't?
We
don't
really
think
that
that's
going
to,
but
we
are
trying
as
to
the
other.
I
missed
one
thing
cara,
which
was
the
crosswalk
on
the
north
side.
Is
we
can
look
into
that,
but
again
it
will
come
at
the
cost
of
more
parking
spaces.
This
design,
we
are
have
been
cognizant
in
trying
to
minimize
the
parking
loss.
It
is
less
than
10
spaces.
Currently
we
still
don't
we
don't
know
exactly
it
will
shake
out
when
we're
done.
B
Q
D
The
raised
crosswalks
that
were
shown
are
what
we,
as
the
city,
would
like
to
do
we're
here,
to
show
them
to
you
to
see
if
there's
any
opposition
to
them.
We
have
not
heard
that
from
you,
so
we
will
be
moving
forward
with
the
designs
of
these
raised
crosswalks
across
pleasant
street,
currently
correct.
Q
Q
R
Yeah,
I
just
want
to
voice
my
official
support
for
the
the
east
cottage
little
intersection
there.
It's
a
it's
a
very,
very
bad.
I
drive
through
there
every
day,
it's
crazy,
even
I've
run
through
the
stop
sign
of
course,
many
times
just
not
paying
attention
I'll
admit
it
myself.
That
intersection
is
quite
crazy.
R
I
live
on
edison
green
by
the
way
and
we
get
a
lot
of
the
downstream
effects
of
people
just
whipping
through
the
corner
onto
edison
green,
because
it's
a
cut
through
the
dot
out
and
we
really
need
in
the
future,
obviously
not
on
this
project.
Something
at
that
intersection
as
well-
and
I
know,
there's
a
lot
of
concerns
about
parking,
I'm
concerned
about
that
too.
I'm
on
the
road
a
lot
for
work.
R
You
know
my
job
I
advocate
for
working
people
who
drive
for
a
living
as
well,
so
I
just
want
to
throw
it
out
there
if
people
are
interested
in
getting
like
a
community
group
talking
about
parking
issues
in
the
immediate
neighborhood,
obviously
not
at
the
expense
of
crosswalks
or
safety,
but
just
to
kind
of
put
that
together
just
find
me
on
facebook
and
add
me
and
message
me,
but
the
east
cottage
intersection,
I
think,
looks
really
good.
I
know
a
lot
of
people
are
against
the
flex
post,
but
budget
wise.
R
D
C
N
Hi
there,
just
one
like
question,
slash
proposal
for
what
to
do
with
that
big
tan
area.
Have
you
guys
thought
about
reaching
out
to
blue
bikes
to
see
if
we
could
get
a
year-round
station
there,
because
right
now
there
are
two
stations,
one
near
the
ryan
playground
on
dodd
ave
and
then
one
further
towards
edward
river
square,
but
I
believe
they're,
both
seasonal
and
the
season
is
like
extremely
short.
It's.
D
That
sucks,
but
luckily
I
work
just
a
few
cubes
down
from
kim
and
jen-
can
see
her
from
her
cube
and
she
runs
all
of
our
blue
bikes,
so
we
can
certainly
look
into
putting
a
station
in
that
area
and
to
that
point
these
are
again
we
are
looking
for
feedback
here.
These
designs
aren't
permanent.
They
are
just
the
direction
we
want
to
go
on
to
michael.
K
Hi
good
evening,
thanks
guys.
First,
I
really
want
to
say
thank
you,
because
one
thing,
I
think
was
stressed
a
lot
of
the
well
through
a
lot
of
our
earlier
discussions
were
we'd
really
like
raised
crosswalks
and
not
a
lot
of
the
plastic
things,
and
it
looks
like
about
85
of
this
project
is
really
appealing,
and
so
I
really
appreciate
the
raised
crosswalks
and
the
bump
outs
and
the
minimization
of
plastic.
K
K
K
One
idea
for
that
that
space
in
front
of
the
park
is,
I
know
in
some
areas
of
the
city
there'll,
be
like
a
large
cobblestone
area
with
like
those
metal
stanchions
with
like
the
metal
chain
that
could
be
really
attractive
and
just
kind
of
create,
like
a
courtyard
before
the
park
and
just
sort
of
leave
it
as
an
empty
sort
of
cobblestone
area.
That
could
be
really
attractive
and
it
wouldn't
be
plastic,
but
we'd
have,
like
you,
know,
steel
stanchions
with
chain.
S
Yes,
sorry,
I'm
I'm
ivan
on
my
wife's
computer,
so
I
love
the
ideas
of
where,
where
things
are
going
so
my
concern-
and
I
think
we
haven't
talked
about
this-
so
I'm
not
sure
if
I've
heard
anyone
ask
this
is
we
have
a
ton
of
units?
I
mean
you
see.
What's
going
on
down
down
on
the
corner
of
dot,
ave
and
crescent,
then
you
go
down
the
street
all
the
way.
S
So
parking
is
something
that
I
think
we
have
to
maybe
kind
of
consider.
Someone
had
a
great
idea
of
maybe
making
diagonal
spots
to
allow
more
people
to
park
along
pleasant
street
around
areas,
but
I
do
think
that
we
don't
know
what
this
is
going
to
look
like.
Even
if
we
don't
do
anything
on
pleasant
street,
we
don't
know
what
it's
going
to.
What
parking's
going
to
look
like
in
our
neighborhood.
S
G
S
I
do
think
that
we
have
an
opportunity
here
to
also
maybe
think
about
solving
a
future
problem
as
well,
while
making
our
neighborhood
more
our
neighborhood
safer
to
walk
through
concurrently,
like
we
have
an
opportunity
here
to
do
something
pretty
cool,
and
I
want
him.
You
know
I
just
wanted
to
throw
it
out
there
that
maybe
there
could
be
some
what
play.
S
What
are
some
some
ways
in
which
we
can
increase
our
ability
to
park
and
then
accommodate
the
influx
of
people
that
are
going
to
be
coming,
because
I
sat
through
one
of
those
butters
meetings
and
they're
like
yeah
one
spot
for
a
unit
yeah.
But
you
know
there's
going
to
be
three
college:
kids
living
in
the
united
are
post-college
kids,
each
one
with
their
own
cars
and
the
other
two
cars
are
going
to
end
up
on
the
street
and
it's
going
to
push
the
traffic.
S
Let's,
let's
all,
let's
try
to
solve
a
problem
before
it
becomes
southie
like
no
one
here.
I
think
we
all
live
where
we
live,
because
we
don't.
We
don't
want
to
be
what
we
we
don't
want
to
deal
with.
What
our
counterparts
in
southie
have
to
deal
with,
where
they're
literally
coming
and
parking
over
here
and
then
ubering
at
home,
because
they
can't
find
spots.
T
T
T
There's
a
car
going
42
miles
an
hour
down
pleasant
street
and
a
car
trying
to
pull
out
from
house,
for
you
know
probably
30
seconds
they
almost
got
in
an
accident
and
it's
it's
I've.
Never
seen.
People
drive
like
this
in
my
life.
I
have
no
idea
where
people
learned
how
to
drive
like
this.
It
is
a
much
bigger
problem
than
I
think.
Anyone
in
the
city
even
realizes
like
to
see
it
every
day.
It's
just
unbelievable,
so
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you,
I'm
very
supportive
of
all
of
this.
T
J
I've
seen
over
the
past
several
years
is
that
developers
will
approach
the
city,
the
proposal
for
a
big
development
and
though
schmooze
the
city
and
just
say.
Oh,
we
don't
need
to
build
a
lot
of
parking
spaces.
People
don't
want
to
own
a
car
in
the
city,
they'll
ride,
bicycles,
they'll,
take
uber,
lyft
they'll
do
whatever
so
then
you
get
a
development
which
has
one
space
per
unit
and
then
all
of
a
sudden.
This
couple
moves
in
and
they've
got
to
go
to
town
to
see
clients.
J
They
want
to
go
to
the
store
and
they
can't
get
there
by
uber
lyft.
They
want
to
go
see
their
parents
in
another
state
and
you're,
going
to
wind
up
with
two
cars
and
yeah.
Maybe
they
can
buy
another
space
in
the
garage
if
available,
but
they're
going
to
park
on
the
street,
so
we
really
have
to
consider
parking
on
this
and
other
issues
yeah.
I
agree
with
michael
keaney
that
this
isn't
about
parking,
but
parking
is
such
an
inescapable
part
of
this
whole
debate.
G
Great
I'm
sandra
libby,
I'm
the
playground
planner
with
the
dcr
and
you're
responsible,
for
you
know
some
of
the
maintenance,
not
the
daily
maintenance,
but
the
maintenance
of
the
equipment
on
the
and
and
working.
I
just
think
that
you
guys
have
done
a
very
good
job.
You've
thought
about
there's
so
many
different
factors
that
you're
factoring
in
and
trying
to
so
I
just
wanted
to
say
kudos.
G
You've
really
thought
this
through
a
lot,
and
I
hear
you
that
you
really
wanted
to
talk
to
talk
about
the
park
and
I
just
am
available
to
help
to
instigate
the
meeting
about
the
playground
area
and
the
interfacing
that
you
open
space
that
you
were
talking
about.
So
I'm
certain
we
can.
We
can
arrange
a
meeting
soon
if
you'd
like
to
do
that.
A
U
I
apologize
all
right
here.
We
go
sorry
about
that.
Yes,
I
want
to
underline
everything
that
people
have
been
saying
about.
You
know
the
problem
on
pleasant
street
has
been
a
very
dangerous
situation
for
many
of
us.
I've
been
hit
by
a
car
twice
there
and
you
know
we
all
want
to
be
able
to
safely
go
to
our
destinations.
U
Obviously,
and
so
you
know
what
you're
doing
is
really
really
going
to
save
a
life.
I
I
know
that
for
a
fact,
and
the
other
thing
that
I
just
wanted
to
mention,
is
I
like
how
from
east
cottage
on
to
pleasant
that
it
looks
like
from
the
design
that
you're
straightening,
that
out
a
little
bit?
Is
that
what
I'm
viewing.
D
D
U
G
C
Thanks
so
much
for
the
presentation,
I
previously
know
that
discussion
around,
like
bike
specific
lanes
was
talked
about.
It
doesn't
seem
like
there's
that
much
room
on
the
road
unless
we
get
rid
of
a
lane
of
parking,
but
is
there
any
way
or
any
plan
to
put
down
like
markers
on
the
road
that
indicate?
D
D
A
All
right,
I
don't
see
any
other
hands
right,
so
I'm
gonna
turn
over
to
the
chat
and
see
if
there
are
any
questions
that
came
in
there
that
we
didn't
address.
I
see
one
from
james
about,
and
I
believe
this
is
in
reference
to
east
cottage
and
pond
street,
about
the
possibility
of
raising
the
crosswalk
across
pleasant
street.
D
D
Quickly
sure
daylighting
you
can
see
on
the
the
bottom
gen.
Can
you
point
at
one
go
to
the
go
to
the
right,
one,
that's
by
itself
a
little
more
right,
yeah
there
you
go
that
one
daylighting!
You
can
see
right
there.
It
is
a
little
area
striped
as
wide
as
a
car
about
20
feet
long.
We
put
a
couple
flex
posts
in
it
and
it
is
just
to
help
reinforce
areas
that
you
are
not
allowed
to
park
in
we're
not
changing
parking
restrictions.
D
Sure
you
look
at
this
intersection
when
you
go
out
there.
It's
just
a
big
expanse
of
pavement.
When
you
have
a
big
expanse
of
pavement,
people
just
make
up
their
own
rules.
We
need
to
have
it
tighter
and
we
need
to
have
something
that
is
legible
and
easier
to
follow.
Providing
lane-sized
areas
allows
people
to
really
understand
where
they're
supposed
to
be
and
who
has
right-of-way,
where.
A
D
G
D
A
A
All
right
so
on
that
I
do
have
a
couple
more
slides
just
about
the
next
steps
in
schedule,
but
I'll
click
to
now
scroll
ahead.
Oh
nope,
next
steps
for
pleasant
street
all
right,
so
here
we
are
in
spring
2022.
We
are
now
going
to
first
download
the
entire
chat
and
make
sure
we
have
read
through
everything.
That's
come
in
because
I
know
I
haven't
seen
everything.
A
We're
gonna,
make
adjustments
based
on
your
feedback
and
then
in
the
summer,
through
the
fall,
we'll
be
collaborating
with
other
departments
and
other
agencies
on
the
design.
The
transportation
department
never
works
alone,
we're
always
in
collaboration
with
public
works
and
in
this
case,
like
parks,
et
cetera,
we're
going
to
be
sharing
updates
with
you
as
we
go
along
and
the
intent
you
know
would
then
be
to
come
back
with
final
designs.
A
So
I
wanted
to
let
you
know
that
you're
welcome
to
to
share
thoughts,
something
that
occurs
to
you
after
this
meeting
ends.
Please
feel
free
to
send
comments
to
this
email
address
pleasant
street
at
boston.gov.
It'll
go
to
dan
and
me
you're
also
welcome
to
visit
the
project
website
there.
You
can
also
sign
up
for
the
mailing
list,
although
actually,
if
you
anyone
who
is
logged
logged
in
to
the
zoom
you've
had
to
put
your
email
there.
A
So
all
those
emails
will
also
will
add
to
the
list
and
we'll
be
sure
to
keep
that
list
posted
on
updates
as
they
come
along,
and
I
think
that
is
that's
all
we
got
for
tonight.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
joining
us
for
taking
time
out
of
this
beautiful
day
to
be
with
us
on
zoom.
We
really
appreciate
it
and
we
look
forward
to
seeing
you
again
in
our.
We
come
back
again
with
more
more
finalized
plans.
