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. After, we recapped our October meeting and answered some questions that arose at that last meeting. Finally, we had time for discussion to hear more about people's ideas and desires for Blue Hill Avenue.
A
Okay,
so
welcome
everybody,
a
few
administrative
items
to
start,
as
I
said
we're
recording
this
meeting,
your
microphones
are
turned
off
to
start
and
you'll
have
to
unmute
to
speak.
So
we
will
have
you
all
asked
to
unmute.
Once
we
get
to
the
interactive
portion
of
the
meeting,
we've
left
at
least
half
an
hour
for
discussion
at
the
end
you
can,
throughout
the
meeting,
use
non-verbal
feedback
options.
You
can
raise
your
hand,
you
can
use
the
emojis
that
are
available
to
you
through
Zoom.
A
A
So
before
we
get
started,
if
you
missed
our
first
meeting,
which
was
held
on
October
25th,
you
can
find
a
recording
of
that
meeting
and
other
project
materials
for
the
Blue
Hill
Avenue
transportation
action
plan
at
boston.gov,
Blue,
Hill
Avenue,
and
that
includes
the
history
portion
that
Alexa
from
powerful
Pathways
presented
at
our
last
meeting.
We
are
also
going
to
upload
that
separately
to
the
website.
For
those
who
are
interested.
It
was
really
helpful
to
kind
of
set
the
stage
for
Blue
Hill
Avenue
as
it
is
today
and
then
looking
towards
the
future.
A
So
again,
what
are
the
project
goals?
Our
first
goal
and
the
number
one
goal
for
the
city
of
Boston
is
to
improve
pedestrian
safety
along
Blue
Hill
Avenue.
If
the
street
is
not
safe
for
people
who
are
walking
or
rolling,
then
it
really
fundamentally
is
not
safe
for
anybody.
So
the
city
of
Boston
has
said
moving
forward
with
this
project
at
its
core.
It
has
to
improve
pedestrian
safety
goal.
Number
two
is
that
we
want
to
expand
Transportation
options
and
reliability.
A
We
know
that
Transportation
does
not
exist
separate
from
other
parts
of
the
city.
In
fact,
transportation
is
a
huge
connector
for
people,
and
so
we
will
be
working
with
our
fellow
colleagues
to
look
at
Housing
and
Development
business
and
economic
development,
environmental
resilience
and
public
realm
improvements
that
can
also
be
pursued
as
part
of
this
project.
A
So
what
are
the
goals
for
today's
meeting?
We've
got
a
few
of
them,
and
so
we
have
first,
our
goal
is
to
orient
residents
to
where
this
project
came
from
and
why
the
community
engagement
process
that
we're
doing
for
Blue
Hill
Avenue's
Transportation
action
plan
is
different.
Our
second
goal
is
to
provide
you
all
with
information
about
who's
involved
who's,
the
team
helping
to
lead
this
project.
B
All
right,
hello,
everyone,
my
name,
is
chevelli
Pacheco
with
consult
Lila.
I
think
this
is
right
in
line
with
what
just
happened.
We
do
have
some
ground
rules
that
we
like
to
set
when
we're
holding
any
space,
but
especially,
you
know
in
this
space
being
virtual,
we're
not
able
to
see
and
really
get
to
know
each
other.
So
the
first
is,
most
importantly,
to
maintain
respect
for
others
in
this
space
for
the
consultants
for
the
community
members
and
the
municipal
agencies.
B
B
Another
of
our
ground
rules
is
to
use
I
statements.
Everyone
here
is
coming
from
a
different
background
from
a
different
way
of
traveling
along
Blue,
Hill
Ave.
So
we're
asking
that
when
you
speak
you're
speaking
for
yourself
and
just
saying
I
as
opposed
to
we
just
because
there
are
many
different
people
who
use
Blue,
Hill,
Avenue
and
not
everyone
is
present
in
this
space
and
we're
aware
of
that.
Our
third
ground
rule
is
to
step
up
and
step
back.
This
is
something
we
use
with
the
youth
that
we
work
with
please
step
up.
B
And,
lastly,
we
just
want
to
say
there
will
be
a
good
amount
of
time
for
reaction
and
discussion
at
the
end.
So
please
try
to
limit
your
questions
until
then.
Sometimes
the
chat
can
be
a
little
bit
distracting.
So
if
you
have
a
way
to
just
keep
track
of
what
you
want
to
ask,
or
what
you'd
like
to
say,
we
are,
we
do
are
going
to
have
time
at
the
end
to
get
to
those.
Thank
you.
C
C
We
also
want
to
give
a
little
bit
of
a
a
summary
of
Where
we've
been
and
where
we
are
now
there.
There
was
a
quite
a
detailed
presentation
given
by
a
lens
the
last
time
which
you
can
find
online
on
the
website,
but
we
want
to
just
give
for
folks
who
are
new
tonight,
just
a
very
small
snapshot,
and
we
don't
want
to
you
know,
make
everyone
go
through
that
I'm.
C
So
if
you
attended
that
meeting,
hopefully
some
of
those
things
are
familiar
and
if
you
didn't
attend
it,
you
can
get
a
sense
of
of
what
we
discussed
three
weeks
ago
and
we
do
have
some
answers
all
ready
for
you
to
some
of
those
questions
that
you
brought
to
the
table
and
then
that
will
be
followed
by
a
discussion
and
the
discussion
as
well
as
some
of
the
other
parts
will
include
polls
which
allow
you
to
answer
questions
that,
were
we
asking
everyone
to
answer
last
time.
We
did
this.
C
C
One
of
the
things
that
was
talked
about
last
time
and
will
be
touched
upon
again
tonight
is
the
fact
that
this
is
a
project
which
really
touches
every
aspect
of
community
life
and
therefore
it
touches
many
different
departments
and
and
agencies
in
the
city
and
state.
And
so
while
this
is
a
transportation
department,
Boston
transportation
department
project,
where
it
officially
sits.
C
So
MBTA
and
massdot,
and
the
reason
for
that
is
you
know
that
we
know
that
the
work
that
is
done
done
in
cities,
particularly
large
infrastructural
projects
and
Investments,
whatever
they
are,
have
impacts
outside
of
that
project
itself,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
taking
into
consideration
all
of
the
possible
impacts
and
all
of
the
considerations
that
need
to
be
be
brought
to
bear
during
this
process.
Next
slide.
C
So
I'm
going
to
ask
one
person
from
each
of
the
folks
in
the
circle
and
the
team
to
introduce
yourself
and
your
team
just
so
that
you
can
kind
of
get
a
sense
of
the
names
and
faces
that
will
be
showing
up
every
month
and
and
leading
this
process.
So
the
engagement,
Consultants
I'm,
Stephen
gray,
with
grayscale
collaborative
I,
am
working
with
Ann
Lynn
and
Caroline
Smith,
who
are
my
project
manager
and
project
planner
and
project
Urban
designer
alensa.
D
B
E
Thanks
hi
everybody,
my
name
is
Jeff
Rosenblum
I
work
for
a
Consulting
Transportation,
consulting
firm,
called
tool;
Design
Group
we're
a
mission-based
firm,
that's
focused
on
Transportation
in
the
Boston
area
and
other
places
and
I've
been
working
on
Transportation
in
the
Boston
area
for
the
last
couple
decades
and
our
role
is
to
support
the
team
in
as
Community
consultants
and
to
help
be
able
to
answer
the
types
of
questions
that
come
up
at
these
meetings
and
other
community
meetings
to
sort
of
provide
that
kind
of
support.
So
thanks.
C
C
C
So
this
list
is
not
a
list
of
endorsers
for
this
project.
I
want
to
be
very
clear
and,
and
neither
are
Mattapan
food
and
fitness
or
greater
management
Council.
This
is
a
list
of
trusted
neighborhood
partners
that
we
have
been
reaching
out
to
to
get
guidance
on
how
best
to
steer
this
engagement
process.
C
So
Garrison
tried
our
neighborhood
Association:
greater
growth,
Hall
main
streets
project,
right,
Franklin,
Park,
Coalition,
Mattapan,
teen
center
Morning,
Star,
Baptist,
Church,
Mattapan,
main
streets,
Prince
Hall,
Grand,
Lodge,
Mattapan,
Community,
Health,
Center
and
Franklin
Park
Zoo.
This
is
a
list
that
we
hope
will
continue
to
expand,
and
we
also
hope
that
many
folks
that
are
on
the
list
in
the
gray
box
will
not
only
continue
to
meet
with
us
on
a
semi-regular
basis,
but
that
some
of
them
will
meet
with
us
more
regularly
and
really
helps
steer
this
process
in
the
right
direction.
E
Great
thanks
Steven,
so
we're
going
to
have
a
combination
of
some
direct
input
through
a
polling
system
that
is
built
into
Zoom.
We
decided
that,
instead
of
trying
to
use
some
other
system,
sometimes
you've
seen
at
other
meetings,
we're
going
to
use
the
one
that's
built
into
Zoom,
so
that,
if
you're
on
your
phone
or
on
one
device,
you
don't
have
to
sort
of
type
in
a
code
and
go
to
another
device.
E
So
we're
going
to
put
up
a
poll
and
answer
these
three
questions
to
get
a
sense
of
who's
here,
who's
in
the
room
with
us
and
then
we're
going
to
be
able
to
oh
looks
the
pole
was
up
great
and
then
we're
going
to
have
some
go
to
other
elements
of
the
presentation.
That's
the
Stephen
laid
out,
and
then
we
are
going
to
have
a
discussion
session
where
we're
going
to
do
a
similar
thing.
E
Where
we're
going
to
have
more
open-ended
questions
for
people
to
answer
more
freely,
those
will
be
anonymous
and
what
we're
going
to
do
is
immediately
after
the
poll
closes.
Take
them
do
a
quick
synthesis
and
show
them
to
everybody.
So
people
can
get
a
sense
of
what
your
other
colleagues
and
other
people
in
the
room
are
thinking.
So.
H
D
E
E
Looks
like
three
quarters
of
everybody
responded,
which
is
fantastic
thanks
and
again,
if
you
want
to
put
in
the
chat,
you
can
do
that
and
we'll
record
as
well.
There'll
also
be
another
opportunity
for
people
to
type
in,
like
long
form
responses
to
just
your
your
thoughts
in
general
later
so
we
can
closed
Kirsty.
Do
you
want
to
click
on
the
share
results?
I
guess
either
of
us
can.
E
All
right,
so
everybody
should
see
on
the
screen
the
result
of
the
poll
just
to
give
a
sense.
Now
we
asked
what
is
your
primary
way
of
traveling
along
Blue
Hill
Avenue,
where
we
asked
it
kind
of
in
a
way
that
we
know
that
lots
of
people
might
drive
and
walk
or
bike
and
drive
so
sometimes
take
the
bus
and
sometimes
drive.
So
we
recognize
that
that
people
use
multiple
modes
to
get
around
and
just
looking
at
folks
that
are
here
with
us
tonight,
lots
of
people
are
primary
drivers.
C
E
D
All
right
for
the
purpose
of
moving
forward
I'm
getting
the
notice
about
keeping
on
time,
so
we're
going
to
do
our
best
to
do
that.
So
what
have
we
been
doing
and
where
are
we
now?
Let's
go
to
the
next
slide,
so
there's
been
a
lot.
That's
been
happening
over
the
course
of
the
past
few
years,
a
myriad
of
different
Corridor
projects,
specific
improvements
to
sites
in
and
around
Blue
Hill,
Avenue
and
across
the
neighborhoods.
D
We
also
wanted
to
take
a
little
bit
of
time
to
talk
about
how
we're
doing
this
work
differently,
as
we
have
heard.
As
many
of
you
have
said-
and
this
is
certainly
an
important
part
of
my
organization's
practice-
we
like
to
look
at
things
holistically
and
the
city
is
definitely
taking
that
attention
to
this
process.
D
So
we're
not
just
looking
at
Bluehost
app
from
the
perspective
of
Transportation,
but
we're
also
looking
at
it
in
terms
of
what's
happening
in
the
public
sphere,
Housing
and
Development,
and
business
and
employment
opportunities
and
how
different
projects
end
up
impacting
another.
And
it's
very
important
to
move
forward
doing
this
holistic
approach.
Because,
as
we've
talked
about
in
previous
meetings,
you
can't
just
talk
about
Transportation
without
talking
about
or
thinking
about,
housing
or
thinking
about
environment
or
thinking
about
Economic
Opportunity
thinking
about
public
space.
D
So
all
of
these
are
are
representative
in
this
process,
and
that's
why
we
have
a
collective
of
both
locally
minded
as
well
as
National
partners
that
are
involved
in
community
engaged
in
the
community
engagement
process
and
why
we're
working
so
closely
with
groups,
because
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
keeping
all
of
these
issues
at
the
Forefront
next
slide.
Please.
D
Okay,
let's
go
back
one!
Thank
you.
So,
in
terms
of
where
we've
been
the
blue
Avenue
project
is
not
a
new
project.
It's
a
project,
that's
been
underway
since
2019.
This
is
a
running
list
and
if
you
want
to
take
a
screenshot
or
take
a
look
later,
this
list
of
activities
will
be
available
on
the
city
of
Boston
website,
but
there's
been
a
number
of
different
types
of
meetings
that
have
happened.
Pop-Up
events
where
City
staff
have
attended
different
events
and
held
Coffee
hours
to
talk
to
members
of
the
public.
D
D
We
also
want
to
make
sure
that
this
project
is
going
to
create
accessibility
for
businesses
and
other
services
and
cultural
centers.
As
the
as
we
try
to
think
about
holistically
around
these
improvements
in
the
neighborhoods.
How
do
we
make
sure
that
Blue,
Hill
Avenue
helps
connect
people
better
to
those
improvements
and
those
opportunities
and
one
size
doesn't
fit?
D
All
this
is
not
a
monolith,
some
things
that
you
know
as
a
motorist,
you
may
be
really
interested
in
may
not
be
applicable
for
people
who
bike
or
people
who
walk
or
persons
with
disabilities
right.
So
we
need
to
be
mindful
that
this
is
not
a
one.
Size
fits
all
and
one
of
the
things
that
we're
exploring
among
the
Myriad
of
many
questions
that
we're
trying
to
sort
through
with
you
and
I
say
with
you.
D
You,
because
this
really
has
to
be
a
partnership
with
the
public,
is
how
can
we
tailor
change
to
the
needs
of
particular
locales,
because
certain
intersections
look
different
and
affect
different
things
and
in
between
those
intersections
we're
also
looking
at
different
things.
Next
slide,
please
and
I'll
pass
it
to
curse.
You
know.
A
Yes,
hi
again
everybody
so
now
we're
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
recap.
The
meeting
that
we
had
in
October
just
gave
you
some
brief
statistics
about
who
was
there
and
what
we
heard
and
then
also
try
and
respond
to
some
of
the
questions
that
came
up
during
that
meeting,
and
so
myself
and
some
other
members
from
the
city
of
Boston
team
will
be
responding
to
these
next
slide.
A
A
To
put
that
in
context,
though,
we
did
see
that
about
a
dozen
people
were
responsible
for
the
majority
of
the
discussion
that
happened
in
the
meeting,
so
we
got
some
great
feedback
and
some
great
information,
but
we're
looking
to
hear
from
other
folks
even
more
and
make
sure
that
everybody
who
attends
one
of
these
meetings
has
the
opportunity
to
contribute
if
they'd
like
to
so
we
ran
the
same
poll
that
you
saw
at
the
beginning
of
the
last
meeting,
except
last
time.
We
let
people
choose
more
than
one
option.
A
This
time
we
limited
it
to
a
single
option
to
see
how
the
results
might
be
different.
So
you
can
see
this
doesn't
come
to
a
hundred.
That's
because
we
let
people
select
all
that
apply,
but
the
most
common
response
was
driving,
followed
at
a
kind
of
distant
more
than
20
percent,
less
Boston
train
and
then
walking
biking
and
other,
and
we
got
some
great
feedback
from
folks
on
what
they
would
like
to
see
along
Blue
Hill
Avenue.
A
We
also
heard
a
lot
of
asks
for
more
trees,
bushes
plants,
to
screen
what
we
like
to
call
it:
the
city,
green
infrastructure,
better
bus
stops,
people
mentioned
some
specific
things
as
well
like
more
seating,
better
lighting
at
the
bus
stops
them
so
called
some
more
real-time
information,
so
information
on
when
the
bus
is
actually
going
to
show
up,
is
it
in
five
minutes?
Is
it
in
10
minutes?
And
then
another
big
thing
too
is
supporting
small
businesses.
A
Blue
Hill
Avenue
is
has
an
abundance
of
small
businesses,
which
we
love,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
those
folks
are
supported
throughout
this
process.
Next
slide
and
I
will
hand
it
off
to
my:
oh,
no
sorry,
bus
ridership,
so
we
also
got
some
questions
about
you
know.
Why
would
you
propose
Something,
Like
Us
in
a
running
bus
lane
here
on
Blue,
Hill
Avenue
and
that's
because
Blue
Hill
Avenue
is
one
of
the
busiest
corridors
for
buses
and
bus
riders
in
the
entire
city
of
Boston.
A
I
Hello,
I'm
Charlotte,
Fleetwood
I'm,
a
planner
with
the
Boston
transportation
department
and
one
of
the
things
I
do
is
facilitate
the
vision,
zero
task
force,
so
we're
really
focused
on
crashes,
reducing
crashes
and
our
goal
is
to
eliminate
fatalities
in
the
city.
So
what
we
use
for
our
crash
map,
we
have
information
that
actually
comes
from
our
9-1-1
system,
but
through
EMS.
So
every
time
EMS
is
called
to
respond
to
a
traffic
crash.
It
gets
included
on
our
vision,
zero
crash
map.
So
what
you're?
I
Seeing
on
the
right
here
is
just
a
screenshot
of
the
map,
and
this
is
this-
is
fully
it's
available
open
to
the
public.
Each
one
of
these
dots
represents
one
of
those
crashes
and
there's
different
colors
for
each
mode,
so
you
can
see
along
Blue,
Hill
Avenue,
there's
quite
a
few
blue
dots,
a
few
red
dots
for
pedestrian
crashes.
I
Blue
Hill
Avenue
is
one
of
the
high
crash
areas
for
motor
vehicle
crashes.
So
it
just
means
that
the
density
or
the
number
of
crashes
within
each
half
mile
segment
is
is
higher
than
in
a
lot
of
other
parts
of
the
city
in
2022.
A
crash
happened
on
average
every
three
days,
so
this
map,
as
I
said,
is
available
online.
There's
the
information
for
it.
J
We're
focused
on
pedestrians
or
you
know,
anyone
walking,
rolling
or
strolling
Down
Columbus
Ave
45,
curb
ramps
were
reconstructed
on
Columbus
Ave
and
taking
into
account
the
accessibility
of
convenience,
we
made
it
easier
to
cross
General
traffic
by
shortening
crosswalks
and
also
making
crosswalks
more
straight
see
here.
This
is
a
crosswalk
at
Academy
Road
and
it
used
to
be
45
feet
across
and
you
used
to
have
to
walk
into
the
street.
J
J
See
the
next
all
right,
this
slide
is
at
gray
streets.
We
added
a
new
crosswalk.
That's
allows
pedestrians
to
walk
less
sorry.
These
pedestrians
have
to
walk.
You
know
less
through
General
traffic
and
walk
across
two
lanes
of
traffic
that
are
now
traveled
by
you
know,
plus
bus
operators
who
are
trained,
and
you
know,
professionals
and
driving.
So
there's
less
of
a
chance
of
dangerous
Crossings
happen.
J
J
A
So
you
can
see
from
this
graph
that
before,
if
a
pedestrian,
for
example,
someone
crossing
the
street
was
hit
at
a
car
driving
45
miles
per
hour,
they
were
more
than
likely
to
die
from
that
from
that
hit
from
that
crash.
Now
that
people
are
only
going
up
to
35
miles
per
hour,
people
are
more
than
likely
to
survive
if
they
are
hit
by
a
cargo
in
that
speed.
Of
course,
these
are
still
above
the
speed
limit
of
25
miles
per
hour,
which
you
can
also
see
here
as
a
reference
next
slide,
please.
A
So
what
do
bus
riders
think
in
early
December
after
the
bus
lanes
were
implemented?
We
hired
some
folks
to
go
out
and
hand
out
five
dollar
Charlie
cards
and
talk
to
folks
about
you
know
what
do
you
think?
How
is
this
working
and
we
got
some
really
interesting
feedback,
so
82
percent
of
folks
that
they
felt
safer
than
they
did
before
78
were
satisfied
with
the
new
bus
lanes.
74
said
that
their
trips
felt
faster.
A
We
see
that
in
the
data
too,
so
folks
are
saving
between
three
and
four
and
a
half
minutes
per
trip,
and
that's
really
important,
because
the
bus
lines
are
less
than
a
mile.
So
that's
a
really
effective,
Time
Savings
for
such
a
short
segment
of
streets.
We
also
saw
that
74
of
riders
said
that
their
trips
are
more
consistent,
so
they
can
actually
count
on
the
bus
coming
on
time
and
really,
interestingly,
too,
some
Rider
said
I'm
taking
the
bus
more
often
and
not
only
am
I
taking
the
bus.
A
A
So
what
have
we
learned?
The
project
was
not
perfect.
This
was
our
first
time
implementing
a
center
running
bus
lane
project
in
partnership
with
the
MBTA
and
we've
learned
a
lot.
So
one
of
the
major
points
of
feedback
we
got
was
that
there's
concern
from
residents
that
they're
afraid
they're,
seeing
more
speeding
and
more
cars
on
neighborhood
side
streets
and
unfortunately,
we
didn't
capture
the
data.
Look
at
that
ahead
of
time.
That
is
something
that
we've
learned
as
well.
A
We've
also
heard
from
people
that
they'd
like
it
to
maybe
feel
a
bit
a
little
bit
more
like
it's
part
of
Eggleston
Square,
specifically
or
really
tie
some
of
the
infrastructure
to
that
neighborhood
in
terms
of
the
look
and
feel
so
that's
something
we'll
be
focusing
on
in
this
project
too.
When
it
comes
to
bus,
shelters
and
the
other
design
that
goes
here,
we
also
will
make
sure
to
include
as
much
green
infrastructure
as
possible.
Where
can
we
plant
trees?
Where
can
we
put
in
Rain
Gardens?
A
You
know:
where
can
we
increase
the
greenery
along
the
corridor
and
then
two
final
items?
One
is
that
we've
seen
that
the
pickup
and
drop
off
and
delivery
spaces
aren't
working
exactly
like?
We
thought
they
might
when,
after
the
bus
lines
are
in
place,
so
we
will
make
sure
we
partner
with
businesses
and
institutions
to
formalize
spaces
for
those
like
quick
things
in
order
to
help
prevent
double
parking
or
blocking
the
traffic
lane,
and
then
also,
we
want
to
make
sure
we're
hearing
from
our
bus
operators
and
other
MBTA
staff
to
help
inform
design.
E
E
So
we
can
get
a
sense
of
what
everybody's
thinking
and
so
and
now
all
of
that
will
be
anonymous.
If,
for
some
reason
you
can't
get
the
poll
to
work,
you
can
put
your
comment
in
a
chat
and
if
you
don't
feel
like
you
want
to
do
that,
you
can
email
us
afterwards
to
let
us
know
what
you
think
so.
However,
you
want
to
compose
your
thoughts.
We
want
to
hear
it.
So
do
you
want
to
open
the
poll
Kirsty.
E
H
D
E
E
So
if
people
want
to
raise
their
hand,
the
will
form
a
q,
a
lens
that
can
call
on
people
and
make
your
comments,
a
reminder,
if
you
put
in
the
comment
that
you're
going
to
say
verbally
written,
then
we're
going
to
show
that
on
the
screen
in
a
couple
minutes.
So
if
there
are
thoughts
you
want
to
share
beyond
that
now's
a
good
time.
D
I
also
want
to
take
this
time
to
acknowledge
the
folks
representing
elected
officials
and
elected
officials
themselves
that
are
here.
We've
got
representative
homes,
we
have
Jordan
from
Consular
Royals
office
I,
believe
we
have
Chris
Westfall
from
representative
Fluker
Oakley's
office.
We
also
have
someone
from
representative
Miranda's
office
and
I
think
this
is
actually
a
good
time
to
open
the
floor.
L
Good
evening,
everyone
I
want
to
just
I'll
come
off
of
my
camera
here.
I,
don't
know
if
you
can
see
me
or
not,
but
thanks
everyone
for
what
you're
doing
tonight.
I
really
appreciated
the
process
for
you
addressing
the
issues
out
the
out
from
the
beginning.
So
my
quick
comments
are
I
really
feel
that
blue
Avenue
today
is
really
designed
for
the
car.
L
It
is
not
designed
for
the
public,
router,
and
so
one
of
the
things
I
saw
in
the
comments
particularly
Javon
said
last
time
that
he
wanted
to
make
sure
we
had
the
data
and
I
appreciate
you
guys
coming
back
with
the
data,
but
I
think
the
other
layer
of
that
was
they
were
asking.
Where
is
that
data
from
in
particular?
L
What
are
we
asking
now
with
what's
happening
after
code
did
what's
happening
with
the
things
with
the
ride
being
free,
I'm
sure
the
ridership
has
even
gone
up
even
more,
and
so
it
would
be
good
to
get
more
recent
data,
and
not
only
only
that
but
data
for
where
people
are
actually
getting
on
and
off
the
buses.
What
is
that
load?
L
We
went
to
that
into
that
conversation
saying
hey.
We
should
have
a
shorter
Bridge
because
you
don't
have
the
overpass
going
under
it.
You
know
that
you
don't
need
to
go
over
both
of
the
of
the
roadways
anymore
and
we
went
in
there
with
our
own
preconceived
ideas,
but
when
you
went
and
really
drove
down
to
the
data,
the
data
ended
up
having
us
come
back
with
no
bridge
at
all,
and
so,
as
we
go
through
this
process,
I
just
ask
that
folks
hold
their
powder.
L
Don't
come
into
these
conversations
that
I
keep
seeing
folks,
that's
already
loaded
and
ready
to
go
and
say
yes,
I,
don't
want
it!
Yes,
I
do
want
the
bus
wait
I'm,
asking
that
we
at
least
wait
and
hear
all
of
the
opinions
and
perspectives,
because
I'm
sure,
once
we
get
into
these
conversations
and
we
land
on
I
do
I,
don't
it's
going
to
be
hard
for
us
to
go
back,
so
please
continue
to
do
exactly.
Let's
see
what
I
thought
was
great,
you
guys
started
tonight
with
hey.
L
This
is
what
you
heard
last
time,
and
this
is
what
some
of
the
answers
are.
That's
a
very
good
way
about
going
about
how
to
do
it.
So
thanks
for
giving
me
a
moment
to
say
a
few
words
and
just
know,
I'll
continue
to
be
in
it
to
the
end,
because
this
plus
way
or
no
bus
way
or
blue
Avenue.
However,
you
want
to
put
it-
is
highest
prior
to
me
because
of
the
fact
that
we
need
to
do
something
about
blue
Avenue
thanks
folks
and
I'll
still
be
here
through
the
call
thanks.
D
N
N
I
know
that
there
was
a
poll
in
here
that
I
missed
like
how
is
this
data
being
gathered
so
that
way,
you're
getting
information
from
everyone
that
uses
Blue,
Hill
lab
and
not
just
the
biking,
population
or
the
walking
population
or
the
driving
population?
It's
important
that
the
community
has
a
say.
D
Thanks
for
that
question,
that's
a
great
question:
I
invite
my
team
members
to
also
join
in
responding
to
this,
and
if
we
can
go
back
to
some
of
the
earlier
slides,
I'm,
not
sure
if
you
have
seen
this
initial
part,
but
we
do
record
these
meetings
and
it'll
be
posted
on
the
city
website.
So
if
we
can
scroll
back
to
the,
where
have
we
been
slide.
D
So
we
talked
earlier
in
this
meeting
about
the
various
activities
that
have
taken
place.
So,
as
you
can
see,
there's
been
meetings
that
have
been
a
part
of
this
process
since
2019.
we've
also
done
a
series
of
pop-ups,
we've
done
a
series
of
neighborhood
walks
as
well
and
as
well
as
workshops.
In
addition,
we've
also
been
meeting
with
Community
groups
to
initiate
the
process
for
getting
the
word
out.
C
I'll,
just
add
to
that
last
that
last
bit
you
said
over
over
the
course
of
several
months.
This
is
the
second
since
the
restart
of
this
process
this
year.
This
is
the
second
community
meeting
that
we've
had
we're
skipping
December
because
of
the
holidays,
but
starting
in
January
until
July
at
least
there
will
be
a
monthly
meeting
on
the
fourth
Tuesday
of
every
month
from
6
30
to
8..
M
Yeah,
so
my
question
is
I
hope
that
they
don't
put
trees,
but
if
they
were
to
put
trees,
who
is
going
to
be
responsible
for
their
maintenance
because
they
put
trees
on
Quincy
Street
where
I
live
and
they
haven't
been
taking
care
of
them.
There's
weeds,
it
looks
terrible
trash
is
all
inside
the
weeds.
It's
it's
really
not
good.
A
So
we
don't
have
all
the
answers
right
now,
but
we
are
actively
working
on
them
and
part
of
that
will
likely
be
the
city
looking
for
firms
or
companies
that
can
help
us
with
that
work,
because
we
just
don't
have
enough
people
to
do
it
internally.
Right
now
in
our
public
works
department.
So
again,
thank
you
for
flagging.
A
E
E
E
I
think
some
of
this.
The
first
comments
are
responding
to
Columbus,
Avenue
and
so
I
think
that
is
concerns
that
the
morning
Rush
on
Columbus
is
slower
because
of
fewer
Lanes
comment
on
recognizing
the
safety
desires
of
the
project,
but
still
feeling
that
the
system,
in
the
way
it's
designed
is
has
been,
is
flawed
and
I
think
this
gets
to
the
side.
E
E
Somebody
didn't
like
the
Columbus
Avenue
project
opposed
to
it
on
Blue
Hill
Avenue
concerns
about
already
congested
traffic
and
making
it
worse
for
people
that
are
in
cars,
concerns
of
adding
time
to
commute
for
people
who
are
driving
and
people
concerned
of
what,
if
I,
can't
take
transit
and
I'm
stuck
driving?
How
is
that
going
to
impact
me
comments
on
increasing
bus
frequency
and
one
of
the
one
of
the
issues
with
buses
that
are
stuck
in
traffic?
Is
that
I
had
to
be
better?
E
If
I
had
a
visual
for
this,
but
in
order
to
have
the
buses
arrive
at
the
correct
time
and
the
correct
frequency
the
you
have
to
have
so
many
more
buses
on
the
street,
and
so
because
you
need
more
buses
on
the
street
that
are
stuck
in
traffic.
You
just
can't
have
the
frequency
that
you
want
so
one
of
the
benefits
of
having
free-flowing
buses.
Is
you
get
them
to
come
more
frequently,
even
without
buying
any
more
buses?
E
Let's
see
another
concern
about
number
of
traffic
lanes
and
there
is
a
general
idea
out
that
if
you
only
have
one
lane
instead
of
two,
that
your
the
traffic
is
going
to
be
twice
as
bad,
that
isn't
necessarily
the
case,
and
we
can
talk
about
that
more.
As
in
this
process
comment
on
synchronizing
lights.
E
Somebody
who
some
very
specifics
about
turns
somebody
who
walks
and
bikes
on
Blue
Hill
Avenue
likes
the
wider
sidewalks
thinking
about
businesses
and
the
streetscape
space.
So
a
reminder:
this
project
is
not
just
a
transportation
project,
but
it
is
a
Urban
Design
and
urban
Space
Project.
So
all
the
way
from
one
building
face
on
one
side
to
one
build
of
face
on
the
other
side
is
included
as
part
of
this
project.
E
D
Some
people
are
saying
that
they
would
want
to
keep
it
the
same,
but
the
crosswalks
should
be
painted
and
signs
replaced,
like
some
someone
said
they'd
like
to
see
separated
bus
lanes
along
with
separated
bike
lanes
and
pedestrian
walkways,
and
some
with
some
Greenery
trees
and
plantings
and
benches
are
desperately
needed.
Also
a
plan
for
maintenance
of
that
Greenery
lighting.
At
night,
someone
commented
that
they'd
like
to
see
Blue
Hill
Ave,
be
like
JP
center,
with
plenty
of
stores
that
are
not
chained
up
at
night.
So
the
street
is
always
clean.
D
D
We
make
it
easier
and
more
timely
for
Riders
improved
traffic
enforcement
too
many
cars
double
and
triple
parked
cars
along
the
roadway
ensuring
that
pedestrians
can
cross
safely
in
Grove
Hall
with
the
median
strip.
It
would
be
great
to
see
if
Blue
Hill
Ave
could
mirror
VFW
Parkway
Corridor
that
cuts
through
Brookline,
Newton
and
High.
Park
would
also
like
to
see
more
accessible
accessibility
for
pedestrians,
I
think
that's
what
that
means.
D
There
should
be
a
way
to
strike
a
balance
for
pedestrian
safety
and
beautification
and
more
benches
time
to
cross
streets,
more
parking
in
Madigan
square
and
outside
dining.
So,
as
you
can
all
see,
there's
a
lot
of
varying
opinions
and,
as
this
reinforces
what
we
said
earlier,
that
there's
not
a
one
size
that
fits
all
some
people
want
wider
Lanes.
Some
people
want
more
narrow
ones.
Some
people
are
more
focused
on
safety.
Some
people
are
more
focused
on
traffic
flow,
so
this
is
not
going
to
be
a
One-Shot
deal
to
solve
everything.
D
This
is
going
to
be
a
process.
That's
going
to
take
years
of
development
and
and
redesign,
but
I
think
we
can
all
agree
at
least
one
thing,
which
is
that
Blue
Hill
Avenue
needs
to
change
and
for
those
who
missed
our
historic
overview
that
we
provided
at
the
last
meeting
that
video
is
up
on
the
blue,
Avenue
transportation
action
website.
You
can
we
talk
about
how
there
hasn't
really
been
any
major
changes
to
Blue
Hill
Ave,
since
the
streetcars
were
removed
in
the
1950s.
D
E
E
Thanks,
let
me
make
sure
I'm
looking
at
the
right
screen,
great
I
tried
to
do
a
quick
spelling
correction
and
then
I
realized
I.
Just
wasn't
able
to
do
it
fast
enough,
but
hope
I
did
everybody's
comments,
Justice
all
right,
so
thoughts.
Continuing
this
comment
is
focusing
on
other
modes
biking,
walking,
Transit,
making
those
easier,
not
necessarily
only
driving
easier,
repaving
repaving
potholes
a
lot
of
comments
on
that
now.
This
is
good
parking.
E
This
this
hasn't
come
up
yet
we
know
this
is
a
big
issue
around
any
kind
of
a
redesign.
What
happens
to
the
parking?
That's
one
of
the
oftentimes.
The
main
reason
why
people
aren't
interested
in
doing
any
kind
of
redesign
is
because
of
of
fear
of
parking
thinking
about
how
to
use
empty
lots
on
the
side
and
sort
of
not
how
frustrating
it
is
when
you're
having
trouble
finding
parking,
but
you
see
an
empty
lot
on
the
side
and
you're
like
how
come
I
can't
park
there.
E
So
thinking
about
more
public-private
Partnerships,
around
parking
limiting
traffic
to
20
miles
per
hour.
That
is
something
that
is
now
possible
because
of
a
change
at
the
state
level.
For
municipalities
to
do
that
in
a
very
urban
place
like
Mattapan
Dorchester,
that
makes
sense
a
lot
of
attention
needs
to
be
paid
to
the
Butters
and
shops,
and
that
has
been
spoken
and
heard
loud
and
clear,
clear
streets,
cleaner
streets,
some
questions
about
width,
and
is
it
wide
enough
for
bike
Lanes?
E
Can
you
have
the
bus
lanes
and
the
bike
Lanes
I'm,
not
sure
how
all
that's
going
to
work?
That's
one
of
the
roles
of
this
Consulting
team
is
to
help
answer
these
questions
from
a
community
side
and
you
know,
walk
through
what
are
the
different
possibilities
and
what
the
trade-offs
are
and,
as
olenza
said,
these
are
all
going
to
be
trade-offs.
There's
going
to
be
no
single
product,
that's
going
to
satisfy
every
single
one
of
everybody's
needs.
E
Concerns
about
the
two
lanes
we
talked
about
that.
Is
it
possible
to
maintain
the
two
lanes
and
have
an
express
lane
for
buses
and
I
think
people
are
sort
of
recognizing?
Yes,
we
want
the
buses
to
be
faster,
but
how
can
we
do
that
and
minimize
the
expense
to
driving
another
double
parking
ideas
for
the
future
of
the
city?
As
seen
by
an
intergenerational
group
of
community
members,
everyone's
needs
and
wants
can
be
addressed,
consistent
and
and
so
I
think.
That's
one
thought
and
another
is
consistent
and
clearly
marked
biking
and
walking.
E
Somebody
who
bikes
recognizing
that
biking
on
the
street
is
not
for
everybody,
so
feeling
like
biking
on
in
protected
bike
Lanes
or
on
paths
and
Greenways,
maintenance
of
sidewalks
ramps
for
drainage
and
puddles
and
I.
Think
one
of
the
images
that
Kwame
showed
earlier
is
that
the
new
way
of
doing
crosswalks
at
side
streets
is
to
not
have
those
curb
ramps
and
raise
the
streets
slightly,
so
that
the
crosswalk
can
be
level
with
the
edge
of
the
street.
E
E
Not
wanting
to
look
to
American
Legion
Highway,
somebody
not
feeling
like
bike
lanes
are
neces
are
necessary
because
not
a
lot
of
people
use
them
more
crosswalks
fixing,
potholes
and
final
one
on
this
slide,
hoping
that
the
community
in
City
Hall
will
be
in
close
communication
through
the
entire
process.
If
everybody
isn't
on
the
same
page,
this
is
going
to
be
a
disaster.
I
think
the
of
this
whole
team
recognizes
that
and
is
committed
to
having
these
conversations
and
the
hopes
is
infrastructure
change
that
will
be
a
parallel
parking
option
to
minimize
crashes.
D
Okay
last
slide
we're
going
to
go
through
this
quickly
because
we
know
folks
want
to
get
to
discussion
in
terms
of
additional
ideas
and
desires
for
Blue
Hill
Ave.
We
see
more
spaces
for
artists
to
paint
on,
for
example,
an
empty
wall
and
blue
hill
to
put
community
art
having
more
trees
along
the
sidewalks
for
city
and
state
to
work
together
to
find
a
way
to
make
it
safer
and
more
enjoyable
to
navigate
to
see
a
street
have
more
trees
in
Greenway
Greenery
I
do
not
want
cars
to
be
forgotten
in
this
work.
D
Small
businesses
need
support.
They
will
need
customers
who
can
come
from
afar,
like
in
a
car,
I
hope
Blue
Hill
Avenue
below
Grove
Hall
will
be
seen
as
a
space
that
is
narrow
and
needs
to
be
supported,
as
its
specifics
are
different
than
upper
blue
lab
bike.
Lane
bike
lane,
similar
Columbus
Ave
Eggleston
Square
repave
Blue
Hill,
create
safer
Lanes
across
for
emergency
vehicles
to
pass
through
traffic
restructuring.
Timing
for
traffic
signals
seems
to
be
the
biggest
issue
around
slowness
of
traffic,
possibility
of
roundabouts
at
Harvard
and
blue
hill
and
other
intersections.
D
These
are
all
very
interesting
ideas
that
are
are
worth
of
doing
some
prototyping
and
seeing
how
they
will
work.
So
thank
you
all
for
participating
and
and
the
the
poll
and
submitting
your
questions.
You
can
also
continue
the
conversation
of
submitting
questions.
As
you
have
here
there
we
have
a
Google
form
where
we're
doing
an
intake,
we're
also
working
on
getting
that
translated
into
different
languages.
D
So
if
you
want
to
continue
to
add
your
questions,
you
can
enter
it
into
the
Google
Doc
that
I
just
shared
I'll
share
it
again.
A
little
bit
later
also
feel
free
to
pass
that
on
to
your
neighbors
I'm.
Seeing
in
the
comments
that
folks
are
saying
that
there
wasn't
a
lot
of
turnout
here,
this
is
only
as
good
as
again
as
well.
We'll
just
keep
repeating.
This
is
only
as
good
as
the
active
participation
and
support
of
everyone.
D
E
C
C
A
C
A
A
So
thank
you
to
my
team
for
working
on
this
presentation
and
thank
you,
everybody
for
your
participation
and
your
comments
now
that
we
save
everything
we
get
by
the
polls
by
the
chat
comment
and
make
sure
that
we're
logging
those
so
we
can
understand
the
type
of
feedback
we're
getting
and
then
importantly
too,
like
where
it's
coming
from.
So
that's
why
we
ask
in
the
beginning,
you
know:
how
do
you
travel?
A
A
A
The
next
one
will
be
in
January
we're
actually
skipping
December
we'll
have
some
more
information
on
the
details
of
those
on
the
next
slide.
We
will
also
continue
meeting
with
those
Community
leaders
that
folks
mentioned
at
the
beginning
of
the
meeting.
In
order
to
get
guidance
on
the
type
of
information
we
need
to
be
collecting.
A
Who
should
we
be
talking
to
where
it's
best
to
reach
those
folks,
for
example,
one
really
great
suggestion
we
got
from
that
group
was
to
post
information
in
the
pamphlets
in
the
newsletters
that
grocery
stores
give
out
along
the
corridor,
so
we're
looking
for
innovative
ways
to
make
sure
that
we
can
get
in
touch
with
and
get
feedback
from
as
many
people
as
possible.
While
that's
happening,
we
will
also
be
sort
of
gathering
some
data
about
how
Blue
Hill
Avenue
works
today.
A
So
moving
into
the
winter
and
spring
of
next
year,
you
might
see
some
folks
out
out
there
that
are
taking
measurements.
That
kind
of
thing
just
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
most
up-to-date
idea
of
what
the
street
looks
like
today.
What
the
measurements
are
all
of
those
sorts
of
questions,
and
hopefully
you'll
be
seeing
us
out
in
the
community
a
lot
too
I
myself
will
be
this
Saturday
attending
an
event
that's
being
put
on
by
the
mayor's
office
of
housing.
A
It's
part
of
their
Building
Homes
Building
Wealth
initiative,
so
they
will
be
at
the
Berkshire
Blue
Hill
Club,
or
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club
at
15
Talbot
Avenue
on
Saturday
November
19th.
So
that's
this
Saturday
from
10
a.m,
to
2
p.m,
I'm
going
to
share
a
link
so
that
you
all
can
get
more
information
on
that
if
you'd
like
I'm,
very
bad
at
typing
and
texting
though
so
I'll
do
that
now
typing
and
talking
so
I'll
do
that
in
a
moment.
A
A
Verbally,
so
we
have
a
number
of
meetings
coming
up.
We
worked
with
our
Community
Partners
to
identify
that
the
fourth
Tuesdays
are
one
of
the
best
times
to
be
meeting
with
folks
for
these
meetings.
So
we'll
have
meetings
every
fourth
Tuesday
between
January
and
July
of
next
year.
You
after
this
meeting
tonight,
you
will
be
able
to
starting
tomorrow
register
for
those
meetings
by
visiting
bit
dot.
Lee,
slash,
bha-t-a-p
I
will
also
put
that
into
the
chat,
and
that
will
actually
sign
you
up
for
all
six
of
them
come
to
what
you
can.
A
We
would
love
to
see
you
at
everyone,
but
we're
really
looking
forward
to
engaging
with
folks
providing
regular
updates
through
those
meetings,
but
also
talking
to
folks
otherwise,
and
then
I
will
also
put
contact
information.
Email
phone
number
in
the
chat
Circle
can
get
in
touch
with
me
and
the
Blue
Hole
Avenue
team.
If
you
have
any
other
feedback
or
questions,
I
really
monitor
those
email,
inboxes
and
those
voicemail
and
boxes,
and
try
to
get
back
to
folks
as
quickly
as
possible.
E
A
Yes,
here
it
is
so
here's
all
the
information.
I
will
also
put
it
in
the
chat,
but
you
can
contact
us
at
Blue,
Hill,
Ave
boston.gov.
This
phone
number
goes
directly
to
the
phone,
that's
on
my
desk
and
then
linked
here
to
when
we
post
the
slides
you
can
see.
That
is
the
form
that
Elena
mentioned,
that
she
and
her
team
put
together
where
she
can
take
in
questions
and
concerns
that
you
all
have
so
Alexa.
A
A
C
For
those
who
who
have
a
hard
stop
at
eight
o'clock,
it
is
eight
o'clock,
and
so
we
wanted
to
make
sure
we
rounded
out
the
information
that
you
needed
at
the
end,
but
we
also
want
to
honor
the
folks
time
who
have
stayed
to
to
share
their
comments
or
questions
at
the
end,
so
so
yeah
Jeff
alenza
pick
it
back
up.
I
guess!
Thank
you.
D
D
This
is
what
we've
been
hearing
so
far,
but
we've
also
heard
more
tonight,
and
we
expect
anticipate
that
we'll
hear
more
again
if
there
are
questions
or
concerns
that
you
have,
please
feel
free
to
add
your
questions
to
the
intake
form.
We're
also
going
to
be
doing
some
focus
groups,
as
we
mentioned
before,
and
if
we
have
the
capacity
because
of
the
weather,
it's
a
little
bit
harder
to
do.
D
We'd
like
to
do
a
few
more
Community
walks
and
and
spend
some
time
connecting
with
you
all
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
know
that
there's
a
lot
of
emotion
and
I'm,
seeing
that
in
the
in
the
chat
and
we've
got
to
be
able
to
maintain
healthy
conversation
about
this
project.
You
know
I
I'm
involved
in
this
work
because
I
live
here.
D
The
conversation
I
know
for
myself
out
of
the
many
people
that
I
have
been
engaging
and
talking
to
a
number
of
folks
have
told
me
that
they
want
to
speak
up
in
these
meetings,
but
it's
hard
to
because
they
feel
like
they're,
going
to
be
over
dominated
by
dissenting
voices.
So
let's
keep
that
in
mind,
because
this
isn't
the
way
that
we
want
to
move
forward.
D
D
So,
let's
keep
that
in
mind
and
think
about
ways
that
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
opening
up
this
conversation
because,
as
we
can
agree,
I
think
that
at
least
the
least
thing
that
we
can
agree
on
is
that
Blue
Hill
Avenue
needs
major
improvements,
but
we
can't
get
anything
done
if
we're
going
to
be
fighting
each
other.
Also
like
let's
take
a
step
back
and
be
mindful
about
that.
D
Okay,
there's
more
to
come,
the
loudest
verses
get
heard,
but
that
doesn't
mean
they're
often
listened
to
there's
a
big
difference
between
being
heard
and
being
listened
to.
Casino
so
I
appreciate
the
comments
that
you
have
I'm
looking
forward
to
reaching
out
to
you,
as
we
will
reach
out
to
others
and
that
we
can
organize
some
local
walks
and
hear
more
and
more
detail
what
your
concerns
are
and
experience
that
in
real
time.
D
So
I
hope
that
folks
will
will
be
able
to
to
pay
attention
to
that
and
I
understand
that.
There's
a
lot
of
fear
that
is
also
involved
in
this
and
that's
real
I
get
it.
But
we
also
need
to
start
turning
that
fear
into
action
and
to
positive
direction,
so
we
are
over
time
now.
Thank
you
all
for
participating.
O
This
is
the
platform
for
anybody
who
shares
whatever
form
of
transportation
in
this
city
to
share
their
thoughts.
Comments,
concerns
about
a
better
writing
situation
for
Blue,
Hill
Avenue
and
that
will
be
respected
in
this
space.
My
other
comment
is
this:
I'm,
a
lifelong
Mattapan
resident
born
and
bred
in
Boston,
I
always
say
this,
because
people
sometimes
think
that,
just
because
many
of
us
work
for
the
city
or
we're
partnering
with
departments
and
search
that
somehow
we
do
not
live
in
this
space.
O
I'm
a
driver,
however
I
completely
and
utterly
understand
why
the
safety
mechanisms
are
are
necessary
for
those
who
commute
for
those
who
bike
and
those
who
walk
up
and
down
Blue
Hill
Avenue,
it's
necessary
Matt,
Blue,
Hill
Avenue
has
not
sought
any
real
improvements
in
decades
and
I.
Think
many
of
you
on
this
call,
if
you're
very
honest
with
yourselves,
will
understand
that,
and
you
know
this
now.
You
may
not
necessarily
agree
with
the
format,
but
I
think
we
all
can
I
think
we
all
can
understand
that
some
change
is
necessary
for
Blue
Hill
Avenue.
O
Actually,
a
lot
of
change
is
necessary
for
Blue
Hill
Avenue,
and
so
these
changes
include
not
just
Center
bus
lanes,
but
it's
all
the
things
Street
trees
and
everything
that
they've
already
mentioned
in
this
in
in
this
presentation
and
so
I'm,
just
asking
folks
to
just
have
an
open
mind.
Think
beyond
your
vehicle,
because
that's
what
I'm
trying
to
do
think
beyond
my
vehicle
and
I'm
thinking
about
others
who
too
want
to
get
to
where
they're
going
in
a
timely
fashion,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
say
that.
A
Sure
so,
thank
you
again.
Everybody
for
coming
I
think
that
they're
to
respect
everybody's
time,
and
so
nobody
misses
out,
we
actually
will
go
ahead
and
end
the
meeting.
They
got
a
lot
of
great
comments
through
the
forums
that
you
all
filled
out.
So
thank
you
again
for
that
and
I'd
like
to
leave
with
Alexa
and
Kenya's
voices,
because
that
was
very
powerful
and
I
appreciate
both
of
you
for
contributing
that,
and
hopefully
we
will
see
you
all
if
not
for
the
January
meeting,
then
before
then.
