A
A
All
right
I'll
hand
it
over
to
stephanie
now.
B
Well,
hello,
my
name
is
stephanie
seskin,
I'm
the
active
transportation
director
here
in
the
boston
transportation
department
and
I
manage
the
slow
streets
program.
Overall,
two
people
on
the
team
are
vital
to
keeping
this
particular
project
moving
on
a
day-to-day
basis.
That's
hannah,
fong
and
dan
marrow.
A
Hi
everyone
I
am
hannah,
I
will
answer
many
of
your
emails
and
if
you
have
were
part
of
previous
conversations,
you
probably
saw
me
out
on
the
street
and
then
dan.
C
B
We're
also
joined
by
connor
and
will
from
kittleson
and
associates.
They
are
our
consultants
on
this
project.
B
So
thank
you,
everyone
for
joining
we're
here
to
talk
about
the
hancock
street
triangle
zone.
This
includes
all
of
the
streets
on
your
screen
that
are
highlighted
in
blue
generally.
The
zone
is
bounded
by
columbia,
road
hancock,
street
bowdoin
street
and
quincy
street.
B
B
B
So
the
way
we
approach
design
is
maybe
a
little
different
than
what
you
have
experienced
with
other
projects
engaging
you.
Our
residents
is
so
important
to
us
in
making
sure
that
we
are
designing
changes
that
will
improve
your
everyday
life
through
our
design
process.
We
prioritize
people
who
are
walking
and
biking
older
adults,
youth
and
people
with
disabilities,
and
we
aim
to
reduce
crashes
that
lead
to
serious
injury
or
fatality.
B
This
is
yet
another
engagement
moment
in
this
process.
So
far
we
started
out
by
mailing
out
letters
and
survey
questions.
We
had
an
interactive
online
survey
that
was
open
through
december.
B
B
B
B
B
B
B
When
we
plan
for
speed
humps,
we
take
into
account
three
key
considerations,
so
the
first
is
hills.
We
can't
put
speed
humps
on
streets
that
are
too
steep.
We
don't
want
people
to
go
flying
in
the
air
when
they're
coming
down
a
hill.
B
B
So
we
follow
guidance
from
our
emergency
responders
to
plan
how
many
speed
humps
we
put
in
any
zone
and
on
any
one
route
through
the
zone.
What
we're
trying
to
do
is
balance
the
need
for
everyday
safety
on
your
street
and
slower
speeds
with
minimizing
any
additional
delay
for
those
types
of
emergencies.
B
So
on
this
map,
these
are
the
streets
that
we
are
considering
for.
Speed
humps
in
your
zone,
areas
that
are
in
blue,
indicate
potential
speed,
hump
segments
segments
that
are
in
white
are
not
eligible
for
speed
humps
because
of
the
factors
that
I
just
mentioned,
related
to
hills
and
curves,
we
will
go
through
the
design
review
process
with
a
number
of
agencies
and
departments,
and
it
may
result
in
some
speed,
humps
not
being
placed
on
some
streets.
A
Yeah
and
just
for
the
people
on
the
phone,
that's
the
hilly
parts
on
troll
street
between
bellevue
and
ware
street
glenn
street,
between
glendale
and
troll
street
and
the
hill.
The
curve
in
the
street
on
payson
avenue
between
hancock
street.
B
So
at
a
future
meeting
we
will
be
able
to
share
the
exact
locations
that
we're
proposing
speed
humps,
including
the
address
of
the
parcel
or
house,
that's
closest,
so
that
you
can
get
into
the
details
a
little
bit
more.
But
this
was
definitely
something
that
you
all
wanted
to
chat
about
in
our
april
meeting.
So
I'm
excited
to
share
that
almost
every
part
of
your
neighborhood
is
eligible.
B
So
we're
focusing
here
because
of
feedback
that
we
got
from
you.
You
told
us
that
it
doesn't
feel
safe
to
cross
the
street
that
people
turn
too
fast
that
people
are
parking
in
places.
They
shouldn't
be
parking
that
it's
hard
to
see
other
people
crossing
the
street
at
the
intersection
and
that
bellevue
street
south
of
troll
just
feels
too
narrow
to
operate
safely
as
a
two-way
street.
B
B
B
On
the
left,
you'll
see
the
concept
that
we
shared
with
you
in
april.
Since
then,
we've
done
our
engineering
review
and
have
an
initial
design
proposal,
which
is
on
the
right
side
of
the
screen.
B
So,
first
to
meet
accessibility
requirements
for
our
sidewalk
space.
A
small
portion
of
the
curb
extension
adjacent
to
the
park
will
not
be
walkable.
B
B
E
B
F
G
F
Yes,
yes,
this
is
marty
glenn.
I
was
looking
at
payson
avenue
on
this
map
and
I
understand
your
concern
about
streets
that
are
curved,
but
the
section
where
cars
are
most
likely
to
speed
up
on
payson
avenue
is
actually,
after
the
curb
curve
going
into
the
straightaway
down
to
hancock
street,
and
if
a
speed
hump
was
placed
yes
further
down.
I
wish
I
could
do
that
with
your
arrow
further
down
on
payson
avenue,
somewhat
closer
to
hancock
street,
but
obviously
not
right
at
the
intersection.
F
People
would
still
have
plenty
of
time
to
realize
that
that's
coming,
it's
not
going
to,
they
won't
see
it.
You
know
immediately
after
they
make
the
curve,
but
they
will
slow
down
in
anticipation
of
it,
and
it
will
alleviate
the
problem
we
have
with
speeding.
The
other
end
of
payson
avenue
actually
has
a
slight
incline
coming
into
it
from
glendale
street.
So
people
are
turning.
They
aren't
going
that
fast
and
then
they
don't
really
have
a
chance
to
get
up
a
lot
of
speed.
It
would
be
nice
to
have
both
of
these
speed.
F
Hunts
would
be
great,
but
if
we
have
to
choose
one
or
the
other,
the
stretch
going
down
to
hancock
street
is
the
more
dangerous
one.
A
Yeah,
actually,
that
is
marked
as
this
as
this
area,
where
speed
humps
are
eligible.
Sorry,
it's
not
very
clear.
B
Yeah
so
it
the
places
that
you
just
mentioned
coming
off
of
glendale
that
incline,
we
can't
put
a
speed
hump
there,
but
then
there's
a
stretch
right
after
that
that
we
could
the
curve
we
can't,
but
then,
after
that,
we
could
awesome.
So
hopefully
we
make
your
dreams
come
true
with
two
speed:
humps.
A
And
there
was
also
a
question
about
hancock
street
and
speed
humps
stephanie.
Do
you
want
to
take
that
one
sure
so.
B
B
B
B
There's
another
question
in
the
chat:
will
trent
street
have
a
speed
hump?
There
is
a
person
that
seems
to
have
a
bike
fixing
business,
so
that
is
one
of
the
streets
that
we
are
looking
at
for
potential
speed
humps
as
part
of
the
network
of
streets
down
there.
We
certainly
don't
want
anyone
to
be
picking
up
speed
on
that
on
that
street,
just
because
it's
small
yeah,
I
can't
do
much
about
the
noise,
but
hopefully
they'll
go
slower,
and
maybe
that
will
be
a
little
bit
quieter.
B
Okay,
so
we
have
another
question
in
the
chat
about
bellevue
street
street
direction,
so
we
will
talk
about
that.
Just
in
a
minute,
we'll
have
a
full
conversation,
we'll
draw
on
a
map
and
think
through
what
what
is
possible.
The
the
design
that
we
have
for
bellevue
at
troll
will
work
no
matter
what
direction
the
streets
are.
B
We
have
to
keep
a
certain
minimum
width
on
our
streets
and
allow
for
fire
trucks
to
turn
so
the
design
that
we're
showing
on
the
screen
tonight
will
not
change
regardless
of
what
direction
the
streets
are,
and
with
that,
I
suspect
that
people
are
ready
to
talk
about
making
stanley
and
bellevue
streets
a
pair
of
one-way
streets.
We've
heard
from
so
many
people
that
this
is
desirable.
H
All
right,
hello,
everyone
can,
you
all
see
my
screen
now,
yes,
excellent
well,
as
stephanie
was
alluding
to
we've.
Looked
through
a
couple
of
options
based
off
of
you
know
the
comments
and
the
feedbacks
we've
received
so
far
and
want
to
show
four
to
you
all
this
evening
to
get
some
feedback
and
thoughts
on
it.
You
know,
as
stephanie
mentioned,
we
haven't
made
a
decision
on
this.
This
is
what
we
want
to
talk
about
tonight.
H
To
see
from
you
know
the
neighborhoods
feeling,
if
one
option
is,
has
a
higher
preference
over
the
others
with
still
meeting
the
you
know,
the
desires
of
the
slow
sheets
program
to
provide
safer
streets
for
all
users,
so,
with
this
first
option
that
we
have
here,
stanley
street
would
be
switched
from
one
way
southbound
to
one
way.
Northbound
and
bellevue
street
would
switch
from
two-way
to
one-way
southbound
down
to
quincy.
H
You
know
there
were
comments
earlier
in
this
meeting
about
ronin
street
and
how
access
would
be
on
ronin
street
with
this.
So
that's
definitely,
you
know
we
can
work
through
that
as
well
as
troll
street
and
how
access
would
continue
to
the
north
as
well
as
to
and
from
the
health
center.
H
So
you
know
in
this
example
this
alternative
here
where
currently
ronin
street
is
accessed
off
of
bellevue
street
from
quincy.
With
this
configuration
we
would
use
stanley
street
and
loop
around.
H
Before
we
go
on
to
the
next
option,
I
guess:
are
there
any
questions
about
additional
turning
movements?
With
this
configuration.
I
Okay,
can
you
hear
me
now?
Yes,
okay,
you
said
that
from
columbia,
road
you're
gonna
make
that
from
bellevue
street
going
straight
up
and
I
live
on
ronin
street.
I
So
when
I
come
out
of
ronin
street,
I
I
see
you
changed
it
that
I
guess
you're
going
to
be
going
south
or
north
there
on
bellaview
street.
I
I
don't
want
to
have
to
be
coming
up.
Bellavue
street
I
mean,
since
I
can't
I
use
some
now.
I
use
both
ways.
Okay,
so
now
you're
going
to
tell
me
that
I'm
going
to
have
to
come
out
of
ronin
street
because
running
street
is
a
better
street.
I
could
go
out
the
back
way.
I
would
but
I
can't
so
you
saying
that
I'm
gonna
come
out
of
ronin
street
and
the
only
way
that
I
can
exit
is
the
left.
A
So
if
bella
view
street
was
changed
to
one
way,
which
is
what
lots
of
people
have
said.
This
is,
and
if
we
decided
on
this
well,
I
think
it
should.
A
So
we're
gonna
show
a
number
of
different
options
for
what
things
would
look
like
what
things
would
change
with
different
types
of
street
directions?
Okay,
yes,
so
does
stephanie,
do
you
want?
Do
you.
A
The
next
one
to
show
can
we
just.
B
Call
on
dd
quickly,
she
doesn't
have
the
raise
hand
feature
in
her
zoom.
So
if
you
could.
J
Go
ahead,
hi.
Thank
you
for
taking
my
call
my
my
response
to
this
option
that
you
laid
out
is
problematic
because
of
the
amount
of
traffic
onto
quincy
street.
It
is
very
dangerous
to
go
up,
bellevue
south
as
you've
shown
and
to
take
a
left
or
a
right.
J
Sometimes
the
traffic
is
backed
onto
quincy
street
to
columbia,
road
going
all
the
way
down
to
bowdoin.
So
that's
the
first
thing.
The
second
thing
is
that
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
wanted
bellevue
street
to
make
some
changes
is,
and
certainly
not
this
because
of
the
danger
and
and
exiting
bellevue
street
onto
quincy.
It
is
very
dangerous.
J
J
I
live
at
the
corner
of
bellevue
and
ronan,
and
I
use
ronin
street
because
our
driveway
is
on
ronin
street
and
I
always
exit
ronin
street
99.9
of
the
time.
I
take
a
right
because
it
is
so
dangerous
to
exit
onto
quincy
street
whether
you
take
a
left
or
a
right.
So
I
just
wanted
to
make
that
comment
as
it
relates
to
this
option
that
you've
shown.
B
Got
it
michael,
would
you
like
to.
K
Yes,
can
you
hear
me
yeah
my?
I
just
had
a
question
about
the
traffic
from
columbia,
road
up
bella
view
and
in
this
configuration
here
it
seems,
like
I
mean,
there's
a
lot
of
traffic
already
on
that
section
of
bella
view
from
columbia,
road
up
to
say
trail
or
where
bella
view
turns-
and
I
know
looking
at
this-
I'm
just
afraid
that
this
would
increase
the
traffic
even
more.
In
that
section
I
could
be
wrong,
but
that
was
my
gut
feeling
right
away.
Looking
at
it.
H
So
the
next
one
is
rather
similar.
You
know
we're
still
showing
bella
view
having
a
stretch
of
one
way
to
the
south
towards
quincy,
but
we
are
providing
or
maintaining
a
little
bit
more
of
a
two-way
section
through
here
to
improve
some
of
the
the
access.
H
B
So
this
option
resolves
your:
you
will
not
have
to
go
to
quincy
when
you
leave
ronan
street,
but
it
will
still
have
the
issue
that
was
brought
up
earlier
about
exiting
bellevue
onto
quincy
yeah
at
this
intersection.
Here
we
have
a
person
on
the
phone
who
has
raised
their
hand.
D
L
Hi,
my
name
is
kathy
and
I'm
I
live
on
26
12th
street
and
I
agree
with
everyone
who
said
that
making
bellevue
go
out.
One
way
towards
quincy
is
not
safe
at
all.
I
I
never
I
never
I
I
don't
drive
that
way,
because
I'm
going
down
the
runway,
but
even
when
I
come
in
coming
on
to
that
is,
is
much
easier
than
going
out
that
way,
and
I
I
think
the
way
stanley
street
is
is
perfect,
and
I
I'm
not
quite
sure
why
I
I
didn't.
L
I
didn't
even
understand
how
charles
street
is
even
going
to
be
accessed,
so
I
mean
I
I
just
I
didn't
understand
that
anyway,
but
I
think
the
way
it
is
right
now
with
stanley
going
out
that
one
way
and
coming
off
of
quincy
down
bellevue
is
much
easier
and
why
not
keep
that
little
stretch
that
goes
out
bellevue
down
the
way
it
is
off
of
columbia,
road
two-way,
I'm
not
quite
sure
why
you
wanted
to.
I
didn't.
I
really
understand
yeah.
B
No,
no,
I
don't
know
that
it
would
only
be
so
at
one
of
our
opportunities
to
talk
with
people.
Before
this
meeting.
Someone
asked
us
to
look
at
well
what
if
stanley
street
were
switched
so
stan
lee
was
coming
off
of
quincy
street,
so.
L
Dangerous
and
there
was
lots
of
accidents
because
people
were
speeding
down
there
and
coming
through,
but
I
mean
I
and
I-
and
I
don't
like
that
either
because
that
means
I
have
to
drive
two
blocks
down
and
go
up
to
that
light
and
come
around
quincy
and
come
down
and
it's
a
lot
of
traffic
got
that
way.
I
think
it's
easier
the
way
it
is
keeping
it
just
exactly
the
way
it
is
right
there
and
making
bellevue
one
way
off
of
quincy
coming
down
straight
towards
tro.
L
That
way
and
turning
the
way
it
already
is
and
then
because
the
traffic
actually,
when
you're
driving
on
bellevue
coming
off
of
quincy
coming
back
down
towards
this
trail,
there
is
more
traffic
going.
The
other
way
that
seems
to
cause
the
problem
when
the
people
are
trying
to
get
out
to
quincy
street.
L
That
way,
and
I
think
it
would
be
easier
for
them
to
go
up
and
make
that
turn
to
stanley
and
go
out
to
quincy
if
they
want
to
go
down
that
way
or
go
straight
out
the
way
you
can
go
out,
you
know
onto
columbia,
road,
because
I
that's
gonna.
The
traffic
and
that
little
stretch
of
columbia
between
bellevue
and
going
up
to
quincy
street
the
amount
of
traffic-
that's
there,
it
would
take
you
like
at
certain
times
a
day.
M
D
M
Linda
hi,
my
name
is
linda,
linda
warren
cato
and
I
live
right
on
bellevue
street
right
in
the
middle,
and
we
are
very
much
one
of
those
families
that
are
advocating
for
bellevue
street
to
become
one
way.
It
is
dangerous
for
me
to
come.
I'm
at
30,
which
is
right
in
the
middle
of
the
block,
and
so
just
trying
to
get
out
of
my
driveway
to
go
either
way
is
problematic.
M
So
my
first
question
is
the
way
that
this
slide
number
two
is
bellevue
street,
still
two-way,
coming
from
columbia,
road
until
you
get
to
the
big
yellow
house,
yes,
and
then
the
signage
would
make
it
one
way.
Whichever
way
people
decide
that
would
going
forward,
it
would
be
one
way:
okay.
Well,
I'm
in
I
am
an
advocate
of
that.
I
realize
that
you
know
change
is
hard,
but
I've
been
on
this
street
for
over
30
years.
M
I
I'm
not
as
long
as
the
barrels,
but
I've
been
here
over
30
years,
and
this
two-way
moment
or
this
two-way
situation
is
really
truly
dangerous.
It's
out
of
control!
It's
really
really
difficult
for
all
of
us
that
live
on
this
stretch
of
bellevue
to
maneuver
safely,
and
so
whatever
change
is
needs
to
happen.
I
cannot
be
a
strong
enough
advocate
for
it
to
happen.
M
So
at
this
point,
I'm
comfortable
with
slide
number
two
versus
slide
number
one,
but
I
look
forward
to
seeing
slides
number
three
and
four
fantastic.
B
H
So
in
this
configuration
stanley
street
remains
the
same
as
existing
and
bellevue
street
does
become
one
way
northbound
until
we
get
to
past
the
park
here.
H
Yes,
as
well
as
stan
lee
to
quincy,
thank
you,
you
know,
and
access
to
charles
street.
If
people
do
access
off
of
bellevue
today,
you
would
have
a
diversion
down
to
quincy
and
then
a
bellevue
to
troll.
H
So
the
fourth
option
adds
a
stretch
of
two-way
around
the
park
and
mitigate
some
of
the
diversion
that
we
just
were
discussing.
So
you
know,
all
access
to
ronin
street
could
take
place
coming
off
of
columbia
or
off
of
quincy.
J
So
much
again,
I
just
want
to
thank
you
all
for
your
diligence
and
hard
work
and
putting
these
options
together.
I
remember
when
you
came
out
to
the
community-
and
we
had
a
meeting
last
september
in
the
open
space
till
now
is
really
impressive,
so
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
I
want
to
say
that
this
fourth
option,
in
my
opinion,
is
the
best
option
and
the
safest
option,
because
one
we
want
to
make
sure
that
people
are
not
exiting
bellevue
street
onto
quincy.
J
When
I
and
other
people
have
echoed
it,
I
can't
echo
it
enough.
It
is
really
dangerous.
It
is
safer
to
exit
to
to
proceed
on
quincy
street
and
to
exit
onto
quin
on
to
quincy
from
stanley
street.
It
is
actually
safer
than
exiting
from
bellevue
street.
I
think
this
option
is
also
good
because
it
doesn't
create
more
traffic.
J
Road
up
to
ronan,
I
think,
is
the
best
best
option
and
it
eliminates
a
lot
of
the
problems
that
we
have
on
the
bellevue
street
side
between
quincy
and
ronan,
while
allowing
access
for
people
that
live
on
ronin
and
troll
and
the
lower
part
of
bellevue
street
some
flexibility
there.
We
want
to
minimize
the
amount
of
traffic
coming
down
bellevue
street
from
quincy,
because
they
speed
down
there
right.
They
speed
down
there.
J
So
they'll
still
have
the
ability
to
go
from
quincy
street
to
columbia
road,
but
it
will
be
less
congested
because
it
won't
be
two-way
in
that
stretch,
in
addition
to
the
fact
that
there'll
be
those
speed,
hills
or
speed,
humps,
etc,
but
it
wouldn't
increase
the
amount
of
traffic
coming
down
bellevue.
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
to
me
this
is
the
best
option
and
to
thank
you
for
your
work.
D
Thanks
dede
adribala.
E
Thank
you,
and
obviously
I
live
on
ronan
and
the
option
for
is
the
only
is
the
best
option
so
far
and
we
can
as
well
agree
that
your
option,
one,
is
a
dud
anything
that
come
straight
to
quincy
is
a
non-starter
and
if
you
give
us
off
running
and
you
restrict
our
access,
that
will
be
a
non-starter
too
so
your
option,
4
seems
to
be
the
best,
and
I
thank
you.
That
means
you
did
listen,
but
I'm
surprised
you
didn't
put
that
as
your
option,
one
rather
than
option
four,
because
this
is
what
we
want.
B
K
I
I
want
to
agree
option
four
seems
to
be
the
the
best
thing
that
I
can
see
at
stanley
street
in
the
direction
it's
going
now.
I
can
remember
when
stanley
street
was
a
two-way
having
it
go
south.
The
way
it
is
now
has
eliminated
an
awful
lot
of
problems
with
with
speed
and
everything.
K
This
this
option
four
seems
to
take
care
of
the
people
on
sut,
the
south
part
of
bella
view
that
have
concerns
about
coming
and
going.
It
takes
care
of
the
people
on
ronin
street.
It
satisfies
like
kathy
on
troll
street.
To
me
this
is
this.
Is
this
is
a
great
option
that,
combined
with
the
other
designs,
you
had
the
raised
crosswalk
and
the
extensions
of
the
sidewalk?
I
think
this
would
be
fantastic.
L
Hi
this
is
kathy
again
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
I'm
sorry,
I
didn't
get
to
go
to
your
meeting,
so
I
didn't
really
know
too
much
what
was
going
to
happen
tonight,
but
I
agree
with
everyone
about
option
four.
I
think
it
would
be
the
best
one
and
the
other
things
that
you
were
talking
about
about
the
sidewalk
and
everything
too,
because
I
really
think
it
I
I
don't
walk
too
much
in
that
area.
I
usually
walk
down
to
hancock,
but
I
think
that
it
is.
L
It
can
be
dangerous,
especially
when
people
are
coming
around
that
curve.
So
thank
you
for
all
your
work
and
I
I
hope
that
option
four
is
the
one
that
ends
up
getting
picked.
Thank
you.
D
I
don't
see
any
of
their
hands
raised.
I'm
gonna
give
it
just
a
minute
to
see
if
anyone
who's
shy
wants
to
chime.
In
there
we
go
linda.
M
I
just
have
a
question:
are
these
slides
going
to
be
available
on
the
website
so
that
I
can
share
them
with
other
people?
I
sent
a
bunch
of
my
family
down
to
the
open
air
meeting,
but
unfortunately
they're
all
at
work,
but
I
really
want
to
show
them
the
results
of
their
input.
D
Absolutely
we'll
be.
I
I
did
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
this
is
this.
Is
the
this
option
that
you
have
on
the
screen?
Now
is
the
one
that
we
had
picked
when
you
came
up.
I
don't
know
if
it
was
you
not
blaming
you,
but
when
you
came
out
to
the
meeting
before
last
year-
and
this
is
the
option
that
we
was
talking
about,
is
the
one
that
you
have
on
the
on
the
stream
now.
I
So
I
think
that
this
is
the
one
that
we
should
go
with:
okay,
yeah.
D
We
just
got
to
do
our
work
to
make
sure
that
we've
looked
at
all
the
options,
so
thank
you.
Dede
would
like
to.
J
Okay,
great,
thank
you.
So
when
you
look
at,
I
know
that
you
said
earlier
in
the
presentation
that,
irrespective
of
the
street
direction,
whether
it
be
one
or
two
way,
this
is
on
bellevue.
Now
that
the
curb
extensions
and
the
raised
sidewalks
would
remain
the
same.
J
However,
when
you
look
at
the
curb
extension
across
from
number
20
bellevue
street,
and
if
that
portion
is
going
to
be
two-way,
narrowing
that
part
of
bellevue
street,
with
a
curb
extension,
would
not
be
my
recommendation
now.
I
don't
know
how
you
address
the
safety
issue,
which
would
be
in
front
of
the
entrance
to
the
stanley
bellevue
park
and
across
from
20
bellevue
street.
If
that
is
going
to
continue
as
a
two-way,
that
extension
would
maybe
cause
people
to
have
to
pull
over
in
order
to
go
by
more
so
than
they're
doing
right
now.
J
So
I
would
just
ask
that
you
would
really
consider
where
that
crosswalk
is
at
the
corner
of
troll,
which
I
understand
troll
street
and
that
extension
at
the
corner
of
bellevue
and
troll,
but
across
the
street,
where
the
park
is
all
of
that
extension
is
going
to
cause
the
narrowing
of
the
roadway
and
therefore
issues
with
that
two-way
traffic
coming
around
around
that
corner
into
ronin
street
or
troll
street.
So,
if
you're
coming
down
bellevue
and
you
go
left
towards
columbia,
road,
it's
one
thing.
J
C
Sure
your
average
vehicle
is
somewhere
in
the
vicinity
of
seven,
maybe
eight
feet
wide.
C
That
opening
will
be
20
feet
wide,
so
two
vehicles
can
pass
each
other
comfortably.
The
reason
we
narrow
it
is
to
slow
speeds.
As
you
come
around
the
corner,
the
more
space
we
give
vehicles
the
faster
they
go,
so
these
lanes
are
narrowed
to
make
people
go
slower,
but
they
are
left
wide
enough
that
you
never
have
to
be
in
another
lane
with
a
car
going
the
other
way.
C
J
Be
there,
I'm
just
saying
the
extent
of
well
how
far
it
is
extended
that
not
only
should
you
take
into
whatever
technical
specs
that
you
like
to
use,
but
the
reality
of
driving
it
like
come
into
the
neighborhood
when
there's
heavy
traffic
in
the
afternoon,
going
home
or
in
the
morning
come
into
the
neighborhood
when,
during
the
day
when
you
have
a
lot
of
patients
and
staff
members
coming
to
the
health
center,
where
the
road
is
being
used
as
a
two-way,
so
that
you,
you
experientially,
understand
the
impact
of
the
changes
that
we're
wanting
to
make.
J
And
so
it's
not
even
now,
it's
not
like
a
smooth,
I'm
gonna
go
out
onto
on
to
bell,
take
a
right
on
to
bellevue
from
ronan
and
then
continue
down
columbia,
road
and
and
not
really
be
concerned
about
the
car
coming
in
the
opposite
direction.
I'm
always
concerned
because
there
is
a
stop
there.
There
is
some
some
slow
down
there
already,
and
I
hear
you
about
why
this
option
is
to
slow
cars
down,
but
it
also
may
cause
even
more
congestion.
J
B
Thanks
dede
michael,
you
had
your
hand
up.
N
N
I
live
on
the
corner
of
bella
view
and
trail
in
the
big
house
that
is
at
this
intersection
and
we've
acquiesced
to
all
our
neighbors
with
them
before,
and
I
think
it's
great,
but
if
the
whole
idea
is
to
slow
people
down
and
to
make
it
safer
for
everybody,
then
definitely
you
need
to
extend
these
curves
and
I
just
wanted
to
put
that
in
there
it's
you
know
it's
the
whole
idea,
you're
getting
a
one-way,
then
you're
gonna
have
to
slow
down
when
it
comes
to
these
two
ways
and
you're
gonna
have
everyone's
gonna
just
have
to
be
careful
and
then
it's
gonna
slow
people
down
when
they
get
on
to
trial
and
go
down.
N
And
that's
all
I
wanted
to
say
is
my
property
had
been
hit
many
many
times.
The
last
thing
I
wanted
was
stanley
street
to
change
direction
and
it
was
done
on
purpose
to
for
insurance
fraud
with
cars.
We
don't
have
that
problem
now
by
making
streets
one
way
and
slowing
everyone
down,
and
yet,
where
I
live,
I'm
still
going
to
have
the
two-way
traffic
from
everybody
which
I'm
willing
to
do
which
we're
you
know
willing
to
do
to
make
it
better
for
all
of
our
neighbors.
N
B
So
we
have
a
quick
question
in
the
chat
that
I'm
gonna
do
right
now,
because
it's
just
how
will
the
narrowing
of
the
street
impacts
no
removal,
so
it
will
all
be
the
same
as
it
is
today.
We
will
coordinate
with
our
public
works
team
on
any
changes
to
street
direction
so
that
your
trash
recycling,
snow,
plowing
happens,
and
everyone
is
aware,
but
the
streets
are
wide
enough
and
we
always
take
into
consideration
where
the
snow
will
go
and
how
drivers
will
be
moving
through
an
area.
O
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
stephanie
yeah.
I
guess
actually.
My
question
does
relate
to
the
snow
removal,
and
so
I
mean
first,
I
guess,
because
you've
implemented
the
slow
zone
in
other
parts
of
the
city.
I
was
curious
about.
O
You
know
the
question
of
snow
removal,
the
question
of
bps
buses
and
how
they
kind
of
you
know
how
agile
they
are
at
navigating
these
things.
I
guess
the
the
third
question,
so
I'm
just
curious
whether
you've
kind
of
learned
any
lessons
from
from
neighborhoods
that
you
are
where
you've
already
implemented
this.
O
I
guess
the
third
question
would
be.
I
mean
the
the
wider
sidewalks
are
nice
for
cars,
but
if
the
public
works
department
isn't
actually
shoveling
them,
they
have
they'll,
have
no
benefits
for
the
community
come
winter.
So
I
guess
I'm
curious
how
that
works.
D
Sure
so
I
think
the
main.
B
Lesson
that
we
have
learned
with
the
slow
streets
program
so
far
is
that
speed.
Humps
are
fine.
No
one
really
has
a
problem
with
them.
We
communicate
well
in
advance
with
our
snowplow
teams
so
that
they
know
what
streets
have
speed.
Humps
all
the
speed
humps
are
well
signed
so
that
even
with
their
snow
on
the
ground,
the
plow
drivers
know
to
expect
the
speed
hump
and
they
can
lift
their
pla.
Their
plow
blade
slightly.
B
We've
had
no
issues
with
bps
a
lot
of
times.
Actually
the
conversations
we
have
with
them
is
grateful
for
speed
humps
around
their
schools
and
happy
that
their
students
are
going
to
be
safer
as
they're
traveling
to
and
from
school.
B
As
for
snow
removal,
snow
removal
is
the
responsibility
of
the
abundant
property
owner.
So
if
it's
your
property,
you
have
to
clear
the
minimum
required,
which
I
believe
is
48
inches
on
all
sides
of
your
property.
If
there
are
sidewalks
on
both
sides
or
three
sides,
even
if
it's
next
to
a
park
that
is
owned
by
the
boston
parks
district,
the
park
district
is
responsible
for
clearing
the
snow.
Around
parks.
B
Schools
are
responsible
for
clearing,
snow,
etc,
etc.
So
it
is,
I
understand
that
there
are
a
lot
of
desires
for
public
works
to
do
more
snow
removal
on
sidewalks,
but
at
this
point
in
time
it
is
the
responsibility
of
the
property
owner
to
clear,
and
that
will
not
change
sure.
B
Like
to
mention
is
that,
even
though
we
all
know
how
bad
it
got
seven
years
ago,
almost
seven
years
ago,
with
the
back
to
back
snowstorms,
the
reality
is
that
we
have
very
few
days
in
the
city
compared
to
the
overall
year,
where
our
sidewalks
are
completely
impassable,
and
so
the
benefits
of
this
type
of
work
is
for
many
more
days
than
when
we
have
snow
and
yes,
snow
has
mobility
issues.
People
with
disabilities
have
a
hard
time
getting
around.
O
And
and
yeah
that
makes
sense-
and
I
guess
so
part
of
what
I
infer
from
that
is
the
stanley
bellevue
park
is
under
the
parks
department,
because
that's
where
the
sidewalks
are
becoming
widest
and
I
mean
quite
honestly,
I
could
imagine
the
plows
putting
snow
onto
that
wide
sidewalk,
given
the
narrowness
of
the
street.
That.
B
Actually
would
probably
make
it
easier
to
clear
the
sidewalk
next
to
the
park,
because
a
lot
of
times
what
we
see
is
sort
of
a
fight
between
the
snow
getting
pushed
from
the
street
and
the
snow
that
people
are
clearing
from
the
sidewalks.
So
this
actually
gives
us
even
more
space
for
snow
storage
to
happen
for
those
few
days
when
we
need
it
good
yeah,
no
problem,
we
have
a
bunch
more
hands
up,
it's
808,
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
moving
through.
B
So
if
you
do
have
a
question,
please
make
sure
that
your
hand
is
up
right
now
and
we'll
be
sure
to
get
to
you
before
we
close
out
so
michael
m.
You
are
up
next.
K
Yes,
I
won't
keep
much
of
your
time.
I
just
want
to
say
no.
The
sidewalk
extensions,
I
think,
are
essential,
because
the
whole
idea
of
this
project
is
to
slow
traffic
and
make
it
safer.
I
know
a
lot
of
people
have
problems
if
you're
coming
north
on
bella
view
and
somebody's
coming
up
the
other
direction
from
columbia,
road
and
they're
going
to
troll,
but
it
I
mean
that's
law
enforcement.
K
B
Thank
you,
linda
you're,
up.
M
Historically,
the
way
that
the
snowplow
people
do
is
they
end
up
dumping
all
the
snow
right
around
the
park
that
comes
out
of
row
in
the
street
and
it
all
collects
right
there.
So
that's
why
my
my
big
concern
is
about
the
snow
removal
piece.
Are
you
saying
that
the
snow
plow
people
are
now
going
to
dump
the
snow
on
those
bigger
wider
sidewalks,
so
that
the
streets
will
really
be
clear?
If
that's
what
you're
saying
then
I'm
okay,
but
if
that's
not
the
case,
then
again
what
I'm
back
to?
M
B
Yeah,
I
can't
promise
what
the
loud
drivers
will
or
won't
do.
We
are
giving
them
space
more
space
for
snow
storage.
That
doesn't
mean
that
the
street
will
be
perfectly
clear.
You
know
when
we
design
streets,
we
definitely
take
into
account.
B
You
know:
where
is
the
snow
going
to
go
on
those
days
when
when
there's
plows,
so
it
will
be
slightly
narrower
and
we
know
that
coming
coming
out
the
gate,
so
we
do
try
to
plan
around
that
for
those
few
days
of
the
year
where
it's
like
that
dan
do
you
want
to?
Did
you
want
to
say
anything
more.
C
The
streets
will
have
enough
space
to
deal
with
general
snowfall
events.
We
designed
them
that
way,
there'll
be
enough
room.
That's
the
answer.
It'll
be
okay,.
B
I
mean
again
we
can't
promise
that
everyone
is
going
to
be
their
best
snowplow
driver
that
day,
but
we
do
take
that
into
account
when
we
design.
A
So
one
of
part
of
the
process
of
neighborhood
associates
which
stephanie
will
share
in
the
next
slide
or
in
future
slides,
is
that
we
have
to
go
through
a
review
process
and
make
sure
so
these
plans
right
now
are
just
ideas
and
the
engineering
work
to
make
them
feasible
hasn't
been
so
they
haven't
been
solidified
part
of
the
process
of
going
to
construction
is
conversing
and
showing
these
plans
to
other
departments
within
the
city,
and
one
of
the
key
things
that
other
departments
do
have
are
some
of
the
very
concerns
that
you
have
too
about
street
sweeping
and
snow
removal
and
lanes
that
are
traversable
by
vehicles,
especially
especially
large
vehicles,
not
just
your
single
vehicles,
and
I
also
want
to
just
bring
this
back
to
why
we
are
showing
this
intersection
in
the
first
place.
A
So
when
we
heard
that
there
is,
this
intersection
was
confusing
people's
speed
around
the
corner
and
the
approach
of
extending
the
curb
that
is.
It's
called
the
we're
re,
we're
geometrically,
changing
this
the
street,
so
we're
squaring
off
the
corner
of
the
street.
So
in
as
it
is
now,
it's
not
as
straight
90
degree
and
the
streets
don't
meet
at
right
angles,
most
streets
in.
A
A
A
We
do
need
more
space
to
be
able
to
make
the
cross
the
curb
ramp
accessible
for
people
on
wheelchairs,
because
you
need
the
slope
to
be
enough
space
to
create
a
shallow
slope
so
that,
if
you're
in
a
wheelchair,
you
don't
just
slide
into
the
street
if
you
are
about
to
cross.
So
those
are
some
of
the
considerations
that
go
yeah
all.
B
I'm
gonna,
let
dede
ask
her
final
question
and
then
I'll
go
into
what's
next.
J
Okay,
thank
you
so
much.
I
just
want
to
say
clarify
my
comment
to
come
into
the
neighborhood.
You
know
so
many
times.
People
have
great
plans
for
others,
but
they
don't
actually
experience
what
we're
experiencing.
I
don't
think
it's
unreasonable
to
ask
that
the
engineers
come
and
drive
our
neighborhood
at
different
times
of
the
day.
J
Yes,
it's
a
change,
so
we
all
have
to
get
used
to
the
change.
Yes,
it's
essential
like
mike
said
his
house
has
gotten
hit.
J
House
has
gotten
hit,
we've
been
here
over
50
years
and
it
has
gotten
hit
on
that
corner.
Our
fence
is
still
like
that
the
insurance
company
refuses
to
continue
to
replace
the
fence
for
years.
So
we
all
have
issues
right.
Safety
is
important,
but
please
just
come
into
the
neighborhood
and
drive
the
neighborhood
snow
removal
never
happens
on
that
stretch
of
around
the
sidewalk
around
stanley
bellevue
park.
J
K
J
Curve,
and
and
across
from
mike
and
mike's
house
and
the
stanley
street.
Yes,
I
agree,
we
need
something
and
I'm
not
objecting,
I'm
just
asking
that
the
the
amount
that
is
extended
out
that
you
actually
come
and
see
because
it
will,
it
will
narrow
the
road
and
we
do
have
trucks.
We
have
school
buses,
we
have
all
kind
of
big
vehicles,
we
have
amazon
prime
every
day
we
have
you
know
so.
Ups,
trucks,
fedex
trucks.
I
mean
big
vehicles
that
come.
So
I'm
not
saying
that
I
object.
J
I
just
have
a
concern
about
how
much
the
road
will
be
narrowed
because
of
it
being
two-way
and.
J
That
you
know
that
you
know
we're
acquiescing
we're
getting
a
one-way,
no,
no,
no
we're
getting
a
safety
neighborhood,
because
when,
when
stanley
street
was
made
one
way,
it
wasn't
a
group
thing
because
we
actually
wanted
bellevue
street
one
way
and
then
all
of
a
sudden
stanley
is
one
way.
So
we're
all
in
this
together
to
make
sure
that
we
are
safe,
that
our
concerns
are
heard
and
met
for
everybody
for
everybody.
B
J
J
B
Absolutely
so
I
just
want
to
very
quickly
go
into
what's
next.
So
last
time
we
talked
about
you
know
we
want
to
make
some
changes
to
make
the
crossings
safer
on
hancock
street.
B
B
We'll
also
be
coming
back
to
talk
about
what
marty
put
in
the
chat
about
flex
posts.
So
we
will
definitely
talk
about
that
in
the
next
meeting
as
well
and
as
hannah
said,
these
plans
are
still
they
can
still
change.
So
we
very
much
appreciate
all
the
feedback
that
you've
given
us
tonight.
This
information
will
be
put
online
on
our
website,
you'll
be
able
to
download
it
share
it
with
your
friends
re-watch
the
meeting
live
out
the
greatest
moments
of
tonight.
However
many
times
you
want,
we
also
offer
office
hours.
B
Obviously
you
all
are
very
good
at
being
in
touch
with
us
by
mail,
email
and
phone
feel
free
to
continue
that,
and
we
definitely
want
to
hear
from
everyone
in
the
neighborhood,
and
we
really
appreciate
everything
that
you
can
do
to
share
with
your
neighbors
and
tell
them
about
this
program
and
the
designs
we
do
our
best
to
try
to
reach
as
many
people
as
possible,
but
there's
nothing
like
your
neighbor
telling
you
hey
this
thing's
going
on
to
get
someone
involved.
So
thank
you
in
advance
for
doing
that.
B
For
us,
this
slide
is
similar
to
what
we
showed
last
time.
I've
just
updated
it
to
let
you
know
that
we
are
in
this
engineering
study
phase,
so
we
are
confirming
what
we
can
build,
we're
getting
your
feedback
and
we're
making
changes
before
we
go
to
final
design,
as
I
mentioned
previously,
we're
really
hoping
to
wrap
up
the
final
design
in
2022
and
hand
it
off
to
the
contractor
to
start
building.
B
B
We
were
supposed
to
build
nine
this
year
and
we
only
really
got
to
four
or
five
ish,
so
you'll
be
put
behind
those
zones,
but
we're
we're
moving
forward
and
getting
everything
lined
up
so
that
we
can
deliver
safe
streets
for
you
as
soon
as
possible
and
here's
just
the
information
on
how
to
stay
in
touch
with
us.
This
is

B
B
You
can
also
sign
up
for
those
office
hours
to
make
that
15-minute
appointment
and
get
into
the
details
with
us
that
link
hannah's,
also
going
to
put
in
the
chat
and
you'll
also
see
it
on
the
mail
that
arrives
at
your
house.
You'll
see
it
on
our
website.
You'll.
Be
able
to
do
that.
You
already
know
our
email
address,
because
we
get
a
lot
of
great
emails
from
everyone,
that's
slow.streets
at
boston.gov
or
you
can
leave
a
voicemail
with
hannah
and
we'll
get
back
to
you.
