A
Well,,
let's
start
with
a
brief
presentation.
My
name
is
William
Bush
and
I'm,
a
transportation
planner
for
the
Department
of
Transportation
for
the
city
of
Boston,
and
I'm,
going
to
manage
this
project
for
the
city..
We
also
have
a
connection
here:
Green
Sanders,,
a
colleague
of
mine,
from
Carlos
in
those
jets.
Who
is
our
consultant
for
this
project,
who
is
not
going
to
give
us
a
hand
with
the
design
and
the
process
as
a
community
at
all
stages?
This
project.
A
A
Biking
walking
taking
public
transportation
or
driving.
We
got
some
great
feedback
about
the
challenges
they
face.
Moving
around
the
neighborhood
and
some
ideas
on
how
these
things
could
be
improved.
Tonight's
meeting
is
the
vision,
n
virtual
version
of
the
in-person
meeting,
and
we
will
be
presenting
the
same
information
tonight
that
we
share
with
neighbors
in
person.
I
would
also
like
to
stress
that
there
will
be
several
other
rounds
of
public
meetings
in
the
coming
months,
so
you
will
have
other
opportunities
to
participate
and
give
us
your
thoughts
on
the
project.
A
I
would
also
like
to
mention
that
there
is
a
website
for
the
project
where
updates
and
materials
for
the
project
will
be
posted.
Like
this
presentation,
for
example,
a
this
website
is
at
boston,
dotcom,
and
the
address
of
the
page
is
here
at
the
bottom
of
page,
but
I
will
also
post
to
this
address
at
the
end
of
the
presentation
here
on
the
website.
You
can
also
subscribe
to
the
mailing
list
here
and
also
find
details
about
upcoming
events
like
public
meetings.
A
By
clicking
on
the
event,
you
can
see
more
details,
then,
before
If
I
continue,
I
would
like
to
briefly
review
the
agenda
for
the
presentation.
Here.
We
are
going
to
start
with
background
information
on
this
project,
where
this
project
comes
from,
what
problems
we
are
trying
to
solve
with
the
project
and
what
are
the
best
ones
that
we
are
contemplating.
A
So
before
continuing,
I
would
like
to
talk
a
little
about
the
limits
of
the
project.
so
that
we
all
have
a
common
understanding
of
the
streets
that
are
part
of
the
project,
the
focus
of
the
project.
Really
they
can
us.
The
intersection
of
washington
is
critical
names
avenue,
but
we
also
want
to
make
improvements
to
several
local
streets
in
this
neighborhood,
even
though
they
form
a
network
of
streets
and
around
them.
No
school
and
the
limits
are
approximately.
A
So
we
propose
to
address
these
problems
with
better
tactics
and
permanent
reconstruction.
That
I
mean
with
best
practices.
Well,
these
best
practices
are
improvements
that
can
be
implemented
using
materials
such
as
paint
flexible,
poles
that
can
be
designed
and
implemented
much
faster
than
a
permanent
rebuild.
A
We
just
want
to
look
opportune.
We
want
to
make
some
improvements
and
more
quickly
where
each
of
those
opportunities
exist,
and
some
of
the
specific
ones
that
we're
going
to
include
in
this
project
are
better
crosswalks
to
improve
safety
for
people,
walking,
bike
facilities
and
traffic
calming
with
the
objective
of
creating
conditions
in
the
neighborhood
in
which
anyone
feels
safe
riding
a
bicycle,
regardless
of
their
age
or
ability
to
comply.
A
A
Boston's
long-
term
transportation
plan
sets
ambitious
goals
for,
but
also
rewards
Endations
for
concrete
and
specific
projects
and
within
the
projects
that
are
prioritized.
There
is
a
project
to
implement
better
multi-molars
in
the
robust
Westin
school
in
2030,.
It
also
has
modal
share
objectives,
that
is,
we
want
to
reduce
the
trips
made
driving
alone
in
the
car
by
50
%,
and
now
you
see,
we
want
to
increase
the
use
of
healthy
and
sustainable
modes
of
transport,
such
as
public
transport,
walking
and
cycling.
A
Now,
by
briefly,
focusing
on
some
more
local
and
neighborhood
planning
efforts
in
2017
and
the
nation
plans,
the
process
of
planning
was
launched,
plan
and
rocks,
and
although
the
focus
of
the
plan
has
more
to
do
with
housing
than
access
to
housing,
transportation
was
also
a
key
issue
in
the
plan
and
after
that
plan
using
the
same
boundaries
which
are
from
jackson
square
in
the
north,
to
strong
or
from
the
south.
My
department
at
the
boston
department
of
transportation
began
the
transportation
action
plan
process
for
jaypee
rocks
and
working
with
the
community.
A
The
approx,
transportation
action
plan
I
want
to
focus
on
this
plan
a
little
more
because
it
is
really
the
most
key
plan
for
this
project,
and
the
truth
is
that
most
of
the
priorities
and
p
rojects
that
we
are
tackling
in
this
project
come
from
this
plan.
You
can't
see
the
specific
streets
of
the
planet
marked
here.
A
And
we
want
to
make
improvements
with
this
project,
make
improvements
to
as
many
streets
as
possible
marked
here,
but
we
have
also
expanded
the
boundaries.
A
bit
of
the
project
to
include
other
important
connections
such
as
this
piece
of
is
to
build
east
of
washington
street
and
several
streets
in
the
north
of
colombia
know
and
are
schools
where
we
see
opportunities
to
make
improvements,
that
is,
security
to
make
safer
connections
through
the
neighborhood
for
bicycles
and
pedestrians,
viewing
the
program
of
the
project.
A
We
started
the
project
several
months
ago
already,
and
we
have
been
working
on
collecting
data
on
current
conditions
to
review
the
plans
that
we
have
seen
earlier
in
the
presentation
and
also
to
identify
the
transportation
needs
in
the
neighborhood.
Now
we
are
here
and
we
are
in
the
first
round
of
public
units,
and
that
is
cold.
Neither
meetings
have
the
objective
of
confirming
the
transportation
needs
of
the
community
and
taking
the
comments
received
from
you
from
these
public
meetings,
we
are
going
to
start
via
the
design
process.
A
To
stop
the
project,
we
are
going
to
launch
to
carry
out
two
more
rounds
of
public
meetings
in
the
next
year
and
also
in
the
next
year.
We
will
implement
the
best
tactics
identified
through
the
project,
also
in
2021.
We
want
to
finish
the
final
designs
for
the
permanent
reconstruction
and
start
the
implementation
of
those
national
improvements
of
the
year
that
It's
coming
in
2022.
A
A
A
And
what
you
can
see
here
with
the
black
and
red
arrows
is
that
these
are
the
pedestrian
numbers
that
cross
the
street
and
when
you
see
a
red
arrow,
that
means
that
those
pedestrians
are
crossing
the
street
where
there
is
no
pedestrian
crossing
today,.
Then
this
is
telling
us
that
there
is
a
lot
of
demand
for
walking
and
that
the
conditions
and
when
walking
are
they
could
improve
a
lot.
A
We
also
have
some
bicycle
counts
in
the
neighborhood,
and
what
can
be
seen
very
clearly
is
that
software
agrees.
Do
is
the
mail
a
more
important
for
bicycles
you
can
see
here
in
the
morning
there
are
almost
300
bicycles
in
a
single
hour
in
school
work
also,
to
a
lesser
degree,
and
despite
quite
difficult
conditions,
people
also
ride
bicycles
in
fewer
numbers
on
streets
like
colombia.
It
has
come
in
washington,
street
and
other
streets
in
the
neighborhood
that
are
connected
to
the
software
is
sane.
A
A
A
Also,
the
comments
of
the
fip
box
plan,
a
transportation
action
plan.
The
iev
box
shows
there
is
a
concentration
of
concerns
about
and
safety
washington
street
reception
and
school
programs,
and
this
figure
shows
all
the
crashes
in
the
last
five
years
they
had
to
call
to
an
ambulance
by
gravity
from
between
the
cho.
A
So
what
we
can
see
is
that
there
are
very
clear
groups
of
crashes
at
three
intersections
and
at
the
intersection
of
colombres
avenue
equal
to
the
opinion
and
at
the
intersection
of
agosto
square
colombero
and
washington
street
and
at
the
intersection
of
yemen
written.
But
also
we
see
that
there
is
a
concentration
in
fact
that
it
is
really
for
all
the
corridor
of
washington,
script
and
colombia
know
and
to
a
lesser
extent.
A
For
the
functions
of
the
streets
in
the
study
area,
and
to
do
this,
we
want
to
review
first,
what
are
the
objectives
of
our
designs,
because
before
s
of
all,
we
want
to
prioritize
safety
and
comfort
for
bicyclists
and
for
walking
to
pedestrian
safety
and
accessibility.
We
also
want
to
look
for
opportunities
to
improve
public
space
at
risk.
Then,
if
we
can
and
manage
traffic
flow,
recognizing
that
washington
and
Colombia
knows
that
they
are
important.
A
Corridors,
vehicular
traffic
is
important
for
him
as
well,
and
the
process
that
we
propose
to
make
the
designs
and
prioritize
various
functions
of
the
streets
is
to
first
focus
on
solutions
that
increase
safety
and
access
for
pedestrians,.
Then
we
want
to
identify
their
actions
that
they
increase
security
and
access
for
cyclists
or
people
traveling
by
public
transport.
And
finally,
we
want
to
confirm
security
and
access
for
the
rest
of
the
modes
of
transport.
A
This
map
here
this
map,
that
shows
the
first
proposal
of
functions
of
the
streets
that
we
have
for
this
project,
and
you
will
see
that
there
is
a
lot
of
relationship
between
the
tour
transportation
action
plan
and
these
proposals,
the
streets
and
underlined
in
yellow,
are
streets
where
we
want
to
ensure
the
priority
for
pedestrians
to
go
and
based
on
knowing
that
all
the
streets
are
of
that
color.
That
is
to
say
what
the
priority
to
stop
pedestrians.
For
us.
A
Suites
are
the
most
appropriate
for
vehicles
traveling
through
d,
the
neighborhood,
because
they
visit
businesses
and
that
the
other
streets
are
more
appropriate
for
local
residents,
access
to
homes
and
schools,
and
we
are
not
going
to
prohibit
any
type
of
vehicular
access
on
any
street.
But
we
can
make
changes
to
the
streets
through
design
that
reinforce
their
character
on
local
streets,
for
local
access
or
streets
for
general
traffic
traveling
through
the
neighborhood.
A
We
want
to
know
about
the
destinations
you
often
visit
on
foot
or
by
bike
and
any
other
comments
you
have
for
us
about
your
experience,
traveling
through
the
neighborhood,
well,.
We
would
love
to
receive
those
comments
and
then
I
will
highlight
here
for
information
mation.
The
contact
details
are
