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, community-based engagement consultants, and our new design team. Then, we talked about the work we have done thus far and presented results from our youth engagement survey. Afterwards, we responded to a commonly asked question - "How will the engagement process to date influence design" - and heard from the design team about the metrics they will use to compare alternative design scenarios with the public. Finally, we had time for discussion.
A
Again,
welcome
everybody
to
the
Blue
Hill
Avenue
transportation
action
plan,
May
community
meeting.
We're
excited
to
have
you
all
here,
just
as
a
quick
reminder,
recordings
of
all
of
our
past
monthly
Zoom
meetings
and
other
project
materials
can
always
be
found
on
our
website,
which
is
boston.gov,
Blue,
Hill,
Avenue.
A
Our
second
goal
is
to
expand
Transportation
options
and
their
reliability.
So
right
now,
it's
very
stressful,
no
matter
how
you
choose
to
to
travel
on
Blue,
Hill,
Avenue
and
a
lot
of
times
options
aren't
reliable.
You
never
quite
know
how
long
it's
going
to
take
you
to
get
where
you
need
to
go,
particularly
if
you're
on
the
bus,
and
so
we
are
exploring
expanding
Transportation
options
and
reliability
of
all
of
those
different
options
through
this
project.
A
The
third
goal
is
to
connect
infrastructure
Investments
to
the
work
of
other
City
departments
and
state
agencies.
So
this
is
really
important
for
us.
We
like
to
acknowledge
every
one
of
these
meetings
that
we
know
that
transportation
is
simply
a
connector
that
connects
you
to
people
to
resources,
to
community
centers
to
activities,
and
so
we're
working
really
closely
with
other
members
of
both
the
city
and
the
state
which
we'll
talk
about
more
to
make
sure
that
we're
looking
at
this
project
holistically
so
that
it
can
best
serve
the
residents
of
Roxbury,
Dorchester
and
Mattapan.
A
In
terms
of
what
we'll
be
discussing
today,
first
we'll
do,
as
we
always
do,
assuming
there
might
be
some
new
folks
here,
tell
people
where
this
project
came
from,
who
is
involved
and
why
this
process
is
different
from
some
of
your
other
public
meeting
processes
you
might
have
been
involved
in.
The
second
goal
will
be
to
provide
some
updates
about
planning
studies
and
engagement
activities
along
Blue,
Hill
Avenue.
A
We're
excited
to
share
those
with
you
and
then
our
third
goal
is
to
respond
to
Common
questions
about
how
engagement
will
inform
design
so
we'll
actually
introduce
some
folks
from
the
design
team.
That's
coming
on
board
so
that
they
can
talk
to
you
about
what
that's
going
to
look
like
and
how
we'll
continue
to
make
sure
everybody's
involved
and
then
finally,
we'll
provide
an
overview
of
upcoming
engagement
and
how
to
get
involved.
B
Thank
you
Kirsty
good
evening,
everyone,
my
name
is
Chevella
Lee,
Pacheco
and
I
just
want
to
set
some
ground
rules.
We
are
quite
literally
planning
the
future
of
our
city
and
so
we're
not
always
going
to
agree
on
everything
with
each
other.
So
we
do
want
to
make
sure
that
there's
some
ground
rules,
so
we
can
have
a
healthy
conversation
around
this,
though
the
first
is
just
to
maintain
respect
for
others
in
this
space
for
yourself
for
I.
B
Think
someone
brought
it
back,
but
for
yourself
for
the
consultants
for
the
city,
but
also
for
the
community,
there
will
be
people
in
the
chat.
Everyone
is
coming
to
this
meeting
with
different
experiences,
different
backgrounds
and
different
perspectives.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
that's
respected.
The
second
is
we
ask
that
everyone
use
I
statements.
B
B
This
is
something
we
use
with
youth,
often
so
asking
people
who
aren't
speaking
to
please
step
up
share
your
experiences
share
your
thoughts
and
opinions,
and
if
you
are
someone
who's
sharing,
who
has
been
heard,
if
you
could
just
take
a
step
back,
so
others
feel
comfortable
speaking
up
and
the
last
is
we
are
leaving
some
time
at
the
end,
as
we
have
been
in
these
public
meetings
to
allow
for
conversation
and
to
allow
for
Q
a
and
dialogue.
So
please
keep
your
questions
for
the
end.
Thank
you.
C
A
Shavella
alrighty,
so
moving
on
to
tonight's
agenda,
as
I
mentioned,
we'll
do
the
meet
the
team.
The
project
overview
reaffirm
those
public
commitments
that
we've
made
as
a
city
and
as
a
project
team,
respond
to
some
common
questions
about
connecting
engagement
to
design
and
end
with
how
to
get
involved
and
that
open
discussion
period.
We
will
try
to
end
promptly
at
8
pm
to
be
respectful
of
people's
time.
D
All
right,
hi
everybody,
my
name
is
Jeff
Rosenblum
I'm
with
tool,
Design
Group,
one
of
the
Consultants
helping
out
with
this
project
and
to
start
we
just
want
to
get
a
sense
of
who
is
in
the
room
with
us
today.
What's
your
primary
way
of
traveling
around
Blue
Hill
Avenue,
why
is
this
how
you
primarily
get
around,
and
what's
your
home
zip
code,
just
to
get
a
sense
of
the
geographic
reach
of
everybody
I'm
going
to
launch
a
poll
for
people
to
do
that
through
Zoom?
D
D
D
All
right,
I'm,
gonna,
close
the
poll
and
I
think
I
can
even
share
the
results.
Can
people
see
that
great?
So
this
gives
a
little
bit
of
a
sense
of
of
who's
here
in
terms
of
primary
modes,
not
very
many
people
biking,
some
taking
public
transit.
A
lot
of
people
driving
some
people,
walking
is
primarily
primary
mode.
I
mean
we're
going
to
talk
about
accommodating
all
of
these
different
modes.
As
part
of
this
part
of
this
project.
A
We
might
be
having
some
technical
difficulties,
as
one
does
assume.
Sometimes,
oh
interesting,
that's
always
fun
to
get
an
error
message,
so
I'll
give
a
brief
overview
sort
of
while
we
work
through
this
I
have
done
it
almost
every
month
since
October.
So
on
the
public
sector
team
side,
you
have
myself
who
you
hear
from
all
of
the
time.
My
name
is
Kirsty
Hostetter
I
work
for
the
Boston
transportation
department
and
I
am
the
project
manager
for
this
project.
A
I
am
supported
by
a
number
of
wonderful
colleagues
at
the
Boston
transportation
department,
including
Charlotte
Fleetwood,
who
is
working
on
our
matapan
Square
portion
of
the
project
and
has
a
public
meeting
coming
up
about
that
that
she'll
share
details
for
at
the
end
and
then
also
by
my
colleague,
Maya
mukdal
Who.
Some
of
you
might
have
heard
from
last
month,
in
my
absence,
she's
also
working
with
us
on
this.
A
In
addition
to
that
point
of
their
third
goal
of
making
sure
we're
really
looking
at
this
project
holistically,
we
are
working
closely
with
people
across
City
departments.
So
you'll
see
that
Kenya
Beeman,
the
community
liaison
for
matapan
for
the
bpda
introduced
herself
in
the
chat
we're
working
closely
with
office
of
housing,
Parks
and
Recreation
sort
of
across
the
city
to
make
sure
that
we're
taking
into
account
all
the
various
needs
of
people
who
use
Blue
Hill
Avenue.
E
Okay,
Jeff
go
ahead
and
share.
If
you
want
no.
B
E
So
I
guess
you
all
can
hear
me
since
Jeff
was
responding,
I'm,
Stephen
gray,
with
grayscale
collaborative
another
one
of
the
consulting
firms,
that's
working
with
the
city
and
the
public
on
this,
and
we
have
a
sort
of
constellation
of
groups.
You've
met,
Jeff
you've
met
Chevella
every
month
when
we
meet.
We
also
have
a
lensa
from
powerful
Pathways
and
real
talk
for
change,
so
consult
Lila
tool,
Design
Group
and
grayscale
collaborative
as
well.
Oh.
D
E
Kirsty
introduced
the
public
agencies,
Boston
transportation,
department,
bpda
and
MBTA
at
the
state
level,
and
then
there's
a
list
of
folks
that
we've
been
meeting
with
and
sharing
information
with
and
getting
feedback
from
on
a
sort
of
semi-regular
basis
every
about
six
weeks
and
sharing
with
them
updates
in
between
that
time.
That's
Garrison,
Trotter,
neighborhood
association,
greater
Grove,
Hall,
main
streets
project
right,
Franklin,
Park,
Coalition,
Mattapan,
teen
center
Prince,
Hall,
Grand,
Lodge,
Mattapan,
Community,
Health
Center
and
the
Franklin
Park.
C
E
E
You'll
have
noticed
that
we
invite
folks
from
other
departments
to
join
these
conversations
so
that
we
know
what
they're
doing
they
know.
What
we're
doing
and
everything
that
we're
doing
is
in
service
to
community
interests.
Next
slide,
foreign.
E
So
just
some
updates
on
things
that
have
been
going
on
since
the
last
community
meeting
a
month
ago
there
was
a
pop-up
exhibit
open
house
at
Grove,
Hall
library,
on
April
27th,
which
you
see
on
the
upper
left
and
that
exhibit
was
exhibited
in
Mattapan
Square
in
Grove
Hall
and
we're
hoping
to
be
able
to
exhibit
it
again
in
another
one
of
our
not
sure
average
public
meetings
consult
Leela
did
host
another,
not
your
average
public
meeting,
also
on
April
27th
at
Kay's
Lounge.
We
have
another
one
of
those
planned
for
June.
E
We
don't
have
the
date
set
or
the
location,
but
it
will
be
in
the
Grove
Hall
area.
We've
had
a
number
of
real
talk
conversations
with
residents
by
Zoom
actually
next
week,
there'll
be
a
very
large
group
of
Youth.
Having
a
Real
Talk
conversation
again
hosted
by
consult
Lila
livable
streets,
Alliance
has
been
helping
us
with
bus
rider
surveys
along
Blue
Hill
Avenue
we've
been
working
with
mapc
to
do
a
sort
of
Pilot
parking
survey
around
the
Harvard
Neighborhood
Health
Center.
E
There
have
been
two
drop-ins
one
in
Grove
Hall
and
one
in
Mattapan
Square,
which
we
will
continue
to
have
on
a
weekly
basis
and
share
those
times
with
you
on
the
last
slide
and
topics
that
we
covered
in
the
April
meeting
last
month
were
the
Columbus
Avenue
bus
study,
which,
if
it's
not
already,
will
be
publicly
available
very
soon
and
talking
about
Green
infrastructure,
so
how
plants
and
water
and
all
of
the
sort
of
natural
systems
that
are
involved
in
in
our
communities
can
actually
be
of
service
to
us
in
terms
of
controlling
storm
water,
providing
shade
and
respite,
and
also
a
little
bit
of
Beauty
in
the
neighborhood.
E
The
topic
for
today
is
how
we
will
connect
engagement
to
design
and
I
think
this
has
been
something
that
folks
have
wanted
to
talk
about
for
a
long
time,
and
so
now
we're
finally
getting
to
the
point
where
the
design
team
is
being
onboarded
into
the
City
and
into
the
MBTA
and
are
ready
to
start
applying
some
of
the
feedback
that
we've
been
collecting
over
the
last
year
and
a
half
next
slide
foreign.
E
So
just
a
reminder
of
the
city's
public
commitments
about
this
project.
The
city
and
engagement
team
are
committed
to
making
informed
data-driven
decisions
that
respond
to
questions
raised
by
the
public,
and
that's
why
you'll
notice?
Every
month,
we
cover
some
of
the
questions
that
have
been
raised
and
try
to
answer
those
questions
and
then
solicit
more
feedback
and
input.
In
that
way.
E
E
So
you
know,
as
I
mentioned,
this
is
not
just
Transportation,
it's
a
major
infrastructure
investment.
It
involves
the
public
realm,
it
involves
impacts
and
considerations
for
housing,
affordability
and
development
for
local
businesses
and
employment,
and
so
there
have
been
a
number
of
touch
points
that
we've
had
since
June
2019
25
public
meetings
about
Blue,
Hill,
Avenue
or
matapan
Square.
More
than
40
in-person
drop-ins.
E
Four
Community
walks
15
work
sessions,
two
mailers
that
were
sent
out
to
a
half
mile
radius
of
everyone
living
along
Blue,
Hill
Avenue
and
over
a
thousand
responses
for
multiple
surveys,
and
that
number
is
going
to
increase
continue
to
increase
over
the
coming
months
as
engagement
continues.
And
so
it's
just
I
think
it's
been
really
important
for
this
team
for
the
city
and
based
upon
a
lot
of
community
feedback
that
we're
not
just
thinking
about
buses,
we're
not
just
thinking
about
sidewalks
we're,
not
just
thinking
about
bike,
Lanes
or
Street,
trees
or
lighting.
E
B
B
So
with
that
consult
Lila,
we
created
a
workshop
called
complete
streets
Deets
to
really
educate
our
youth
between
the
ages
of
10
and
18
in
Transportation
Planning
in
Boston.
So
we
really
spoke
about
weather
Transportation
agencies.
What
is
transportation
planning
and
what
does
it
look
like?
We
have
led
a
number
of
those
between
2020
and
today,
so
we've
reached
young
people
at
the
Mattapan
teen
center
at
some
of
the
local
community,
centers
the
Gallivan
and
the
Mildred,
and
most
of
this
work
early
on
was
really
focused
on
Mattapan
Square.
B
So
this
visual
that
I
am
sharing
with
you
today
is
from
2020
to
2021
focused
on
the
matapans,
you
speaking
about
Mattapan
Square.
B
So
we
really
wanted
to
share
this
data
here
with
everyone,
because
our
young
people
have
a
different
perspective
on
Blue,
Hill
Avenue
and
on
what
what
it
looks
like
and
what
they
need
from
it.
So
I'm
really
briefly
going
to
go
through
some
of
this
information,
because
we
are
going
to
dive
deeper
into
this
next
Monday
next
Tuesday.
Excuse
me
what
Charlotte
will
speak
to
so
I
just
wanted
to
share.
We
did
have
this
survey
at
the
end
of
our
Workshop.
B
It
was
quite
a
long
one
and
we
had
88
young
people
actually
complete
that
survey,
so
you
can
see
it
on
the
table
in
the
top
right.
26
of
those
young
people
were
between
the
ages
of
6
and
14,
and
62
of
them
were
between
the
ages
of
15
and
19..
We
have
spoken
to
more
young
people
since
then,
but
just
wanted
to
share
this
with
you.
You
can
see,
on
the
left
hand,
side
the
demographics
and,
as
well
as
on
the
bottom
left-hand
bar
graph,
how
they
associate
with
Blue
Hill
Avenue.
B
So
more
than
half
of
the
young
people
that
we
spoke
to
either
live
on
or
nearby
blue
hill,
so
they
are
sharing
their
first
first-hand
experiences
next
slide,
I'm
just
going
to
share
what
we
heard
from
some
of
these
young
people.
So
some
of
what
these
youth
have
told
us
the
first
is
they
really
want
planners
to
create
an
efficient
way
for
pedestrians
to
cross
without
getting
hurt,
we've
heard
a
lot
from
youth
that
they
are
not
able
to.
B
They
don't
feel
comfortable
crossing
the
streets
and
they
don't
feel
safe
for
a
number
of
reasons
you
can
see
on
the
right
hand,
top
right
hand,
side.
Someone
said
it's
pretty
safe
most
times,
but
some
people
drive
fast
at
night
and
Speedy
makes
it
a
bit
unsafe,
so
they
have
always
also
touched
on
speeding
how
safe
they
feel
as
well
as
what
they
feel
is
necessary.
So
the
bottom
left-hand
quote,
This
is
actually
from
the
matahan
elementary
school,
so
we
presented
our
complete
Street
States
Workshop
to
fifth
and
sixth
graders
at
the
Mata
hunt
recently.
B
Most
of
these
youth
are
young
people.
Young
students
are
traveling
and
catching
their
school
bus
in
the
morning
and
traveling
before
the
sun
has
risen,
so
they're
really
sharing
a
different
perspective,
and
then
some
of
us
who
might
be
driving
to
work
early
in
the
morning-
and
the
last
quote
that
we
wanted
to
highlight
here
is-
are
you
said
that
fixing
the
roads,
placing
grocery
stores
off
this
road,
because
people
can
access
it
through
the
bus?
B
If
you
make
the
bus
accessible
to
everyone
and
they
suggest
that
the
lines
be
repainted,
so
that
was
just
a
really
brief
snapshot
of
what
we've
heard
from
some
of
these
young
people,
and
this
is
a
summary
of
how
they
would
like
to
see
the
following
change
on
Blue
Hill
Avenue
again,
this
is
from
2020
to
2021
of
those
88
youth
between
the
ages
of
6
and
19
years
old.
B
So
the
majority
70
of
these
young
people,
we
spoke
to
said
that
they
want
to
have
safer,
crosswalks,
that's
really
important
to
them,
as
you
saw
in
the
quotes
and
as
will
be
elaborated
on
in
the
data
in
the
meeting
next
week,
65
the
64.77
the
next
second
most
requested
need
is
to
improve
public
transportation
services,
and
so
that
can
mean
a
number,
a
number
of
things:
time:
bus
stations,
we've
heard
quite
a
range
of
things
from
the
youth
I'm
51,
so
they'd
like
to
have
more
green
space
and
47
said
they
want
to
have
bike
lanes
and
paths
separated
from
other
traffic.
B
So
again,
we
just
wanted
to
bring
in
some
of
what
we've
been
hearing
from
the
youth
into
this
meeting
to
just
uplift
their
voices,
since
they
are
not
typically
in
public
meetings,
although
I
will
say,
there's
an
eighth
grader
who
is
in
our
meeting
today,
who
reached
out
to
me.
B
Thank
you,
everyone,
and,
if
you'd
like
to
hear
more,
we
will
be.
We
will
be
sharing
much
more
of
this
information
next
Tuesday.
Thank
you.
I'll
pass
back
to
Kirsty.
A
Thanks
so
much
Chevella,
we've
been
really
excited
to
have
a
consult
Lila
on
this
team
so
that
we
can
have
that
focus
on
making
sure
we
hear
from
the
voices
of
Youth.
So
thank
you
for
presenting
today
so
now
we're
going
to
move
into
the
section
where
we
respond
to
Common
questions
and
specifically
today,
we'll
be
talking
about
bringing
engagement
into
design.
A
So
throughout
the
process,
since
we
sort
of
first
started
really
going
out
to
the
public
last
year
this
last
year,
I
have
to
remind
myself
how
long
I've
worked
on
this
project.
Sometimes
we've
received
a
lot
of
design
related
questions,
so
people
are
asking
things
like.
Has
there
been
a
feasibility
study?
The
city
says
they
like
Center
running
bus
lanes
as
an
option.
Would
it
even
fit
on
the
whole
Corridor?
A
Where
can
we
place
more
Street
furniture
and
seating?
We've
heard
a
lot
about
the
desire
for
for
more
benches
and
areas
to
sit.
Can
the
placement
of
crosswalks
be
moved
or
adjusted
at
areas
where
we
see
a
lot
of
jaywalking?
You
know
particularly
around
bus
stops
and
and
places
like
that.
Can
the
city
look
at
the
concurrent
pedestrian
and
vehicle
lights
at
the
intersection
of
blue
lab
and
Morton
Street?
A
So
that's
where
you
have
the
sign
for
people
to
walk
in
the
sign
the
green
light
for
cars
at
the
same
exact
time,
and
sometimes
it
means
people
try
to
speed
out
ahead
of
pedestrians,
and
so
someone
told
us
that
the
current
situation
is
dangerous
for
for
pedestrians
talking
about
their
experience.
So
in
order
to
answer
questions
like
these,
we
really
have
to
start
talking
about
what
Blue,
Hill
Avenue
could
look
like
in
the
future
and
sort
of
What
alternative
design
scenarios
are
available
and
then
talk
about
the
trade-offs
between
those
different
options.
A
Process
updates,
so
what
we're
doing
right
now
is
we
are
reviewing
all
of
the
community
feedback
we've
collected
to
date
across
all
of
those
opportunities.
We
talked
about
on
a
previous
slide,
so
everything
that's
been
mentioned
in
these
meetings
through
our
Real
Talk
conversations
at
our
drop-ins
at
the
local
library
branches,
people
who
have
written
into
the
mailbox
or
called
into
the
to
the
phone
line,
and
we
based
on
that
feedback,
will
be
developing
various
alternative
design
scenarios
for
the
corridor.
A
Based
on
what
we've
heard
and
also
sort
of
key
Transportation,
Planning
principles
and
we'll
be
presenting
all
of
those
sort
of
next
month
is
the
goal
to
actually
be
able
to
come
and
talk
to
people
about
sort
of
some
of
the
design
options
available
for
Blue
Hill
Avenue,
based
on
what
we've
heard.
But
importantly,
we
want
to
make
sure
we
have
a
way
to
talk
about
those
options
with
you
all
and
ways
that
are
responsive
to
the
questions
that
we've
heard
to
date.
A
So
with
that,
I'm
actually
going
to
pass
it
off
to
our
design
team
who
we
are
excited
to
formally
introduce
as
joining
both
the
public
sector
team
and
the
engagement
teams
that
you've
heard
about
before
they'll
talk
us
through
some
of
those
metrics
and
and
how
they'll
be
used
in
the
process.
So
handing
it
off
to
you.
Reagan.
F
Thank
you
Christy.
My
name
is
Reagan
checkio
I
work
for
Regina
Villa
Associates
and
you
can
see
on
screen.
There
is
the
design
team
a
listed
here
and
along
with
sort
of
the
the
leads
for
each
part
of
the
team
similar
to
the
first
Slide.
The
public
agencies
in
question
are
the
MBTA
again
and
the
Boston
transportation
department,
our
team,
our
consultant
team,
is
led
by
wsp
and
project
managed
by
Ned,
Codd
I.
Think
Ned
is
here
tonight.
F
So
if
I
falter
on
any
of
the
technical
issues,
I
am
sure
he
will
help
me
out
with
that.
We
also
have
Stalin
Lee
David
Lee
to
do
Urban,
Design,
Urban
ideas,
lab
we'll
be
working
on
the
Urban,
Design
and
Landscape
architecture.
F
Matt
Skelly
will
be
doing
traffic
engineering
and,
as
I
mentioned
before,
reaching
a
villa
Associates,
my
firm.
We
will
work
on
public
Outreach
slotting
into
the
engagement
efforts
already
underway,
and
my
colleague
Taylor
is
also
here
tonight
as
well.
Next
slide,
Jeff.
F
Great
so,
as
Kirsty
mentioned,
you
know
I'm
here
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
metrics,
but
since
I
am
not
the
technical
expert.
I
am
more
here
to
talk
about
how
the
Met,
where
the
metrics
came
from
you
know,
and
how
it
has
been
influenced
by
the
engagement
process
to
date,
so
metrics
will
come
from
Best
Practices
as
design
professionals
and
what
makes
sense
to
do,
but
also
the
feedback
received
at
Community
meetings,
the
drop-ins
and
also
bus
operator
interviews,
which
I
don't
know
that
we've
talked
about
so
far
as
much.
F
So
the
metrics
are
going
to
be
used
as
Kirsty
mentioned,
to
compare
the
alternative
design
scenarios
at
each
stage
of
the
process,
and
I
am
about
to
go
through
the
math.
The
draft
metrics
now
to
get
your
feedback
on
that
to
see
if
they're,
consistent
with
what
you've
also
been
hearing
as
you've,
been
at
these
meetings
and
talking
to
your
neighbors
and
others
in
the
community.
F
There's
three
major
categories:
one
is
the
quantitative
metrics,
so
those
are
the
ones
that
can
be
added
up
along
the
corridor,
so
you
can
compare
it
across
design
scenarios
I'm
going
to
go
through
all
of
these
in
a
little
bit
more
detail
as
we
move
forward.
The
second
will
be
at
specific
locations
looking
at
before
and
after
comparisons
and
the
third
category
is
more
qualitative
metrics
that
will
be
analyzed
at
the
corridor
level
across
the
alternative
design
scenarios.
F
F
F
F
Will
bus
ridership
data
be
examined
and
reviewed
throughout
the
design
process?
Will
the
demand
for
an
impact
of
bike
Lanes
be
examined
and
will
the
project
sorry
that
was
a
little
typo
there?
Will
the
project
create
new
spaces
and
develop
green
infrastructure
in
the
corridor
and
will
the
design
Connect
into
both
existing
and
planned
broader
Boston,
Transportation
networks
and
that's
sort
of
the
idea
of
not
just
looking
at
it
as
an
isolated
corridor?
F
So
hopefully
those
questions
are
similar
to
the
questions
you've
been
hearing
at
these
meetings
and
now
I
will
do
the
Deep
dive
about
the
different
metrics.
So
the
first
metric
is
what
I
was
described
as
the
quantitative
metric
to
be
used.
So
for
this
we're
going
to
look
at
bus,
stop
locations
and
bus
ridership.
F
So
looking
at
existing
boarding
data
at
buses
by
stop
at
the
stop
level,
pedestrian
access
and
safety
that
will
include,
for
example,
the
number
of
curb
ramps
in
the
corridor
that
are
ADA
Compliant,
we'll
be
measuring
that
and
evaluating
that
parking
spaces.
So
that's
the
number
of
on-street
parking
spaces
that
are
available
and
the
type
of
Regulation
that
applies
to
each
so
like
if
it's
unregulated.
If
it's
a
two-hour
Zone,
if
it's
a
loading
zone,
those
sorts
of
all
of
those
descriptive
categories
will
be
included.
F
The
number
of
trees
on
the
street
on
the
sidewalk
or
on
in
the
median
bike
Lanes
the
length
of
the
bike
Lanes,
the
type
of
bike
Lanes,
whether
they're
painted
just
painted
lines
or
if
they're
separated
bike
Lanes
the
number
of
breaks.
So
if
the
bike
Lanes
aren't
all
connected
to
each
other,
those
are
going
to
be
examined
across
the
different
scenarios
and
also
this
idea
of
new
people,
spaces
I
almost
said
Pizza
spaces.
F
I
must
be
hungry
people
spaces,
so
that's
available
for
plazas
and
Landscaping,
and
that
seems
sort
of
the
potential
for
change
in
the
square.
Footage
right.
That's
measured
in
square
footage.
So
again,
these
are
the
quantitative
metrics
that
would
be
compared
in
each
of
the
design
scenarios.
So
you
can
easily
compare
One
Design
to
another
design.
Next
slide.
F
F
F
F
F
There's
the
bike,
access
and
safety
same
same
thing,
but
for
bike
riders
and
then
also
the
we've
heard
a
lot
about
parking
and
traffic
enforcement
and
looking
at
the
parking
and
traffic
enforcement
resources
required
for
this.
So
what
enforcement
resources
will
be
necessary
who's
going
to
do
that
enforcement?
How
much
time
should
be
spent
on
the
corridor?
What
kind
of
coverage
across
the
whole
Corridor
will
be
needed?
F
So
these
again,
are
these
specific
categories
of
data
that
we're
going
to
look
at
for
each
alternative
so
that
everyone
will
have
a
fully
transparent
view
of
the
trade-offs
needed
for
each.
Can
you
go
to
the
next
slide?
F
So
what
are
the
next
steps
in
this
design
process?
So
we
want
to
hear
from
you
tonight
on
the
on
your
feedback.
Does
this
do
these
measurements?
Does
this
data
reflect
what
you
will
be
needing
to
see
in
order
to
evaluate
the
Alternatives
and
see
what
the
trade-offs
are
for
each
and
also
does
it
reflect
what
you're
hearing
from
your
friends
and
Neighbors
about
this
project
we're
going
to
use
that
to
further
refine
things,
and
then
we
will
do
this
analysis.
F
As
Kirsty
mentioned,
you
know
we're
hoping
to
share
with
you
the
design
options,
but
have
this
data
these
metrics
available.
So
you
will
be
able
to
absorb
this
information
more
easily.
I.
F
Think
we're
also
going
to
share
the
results
of
this
analysis,
not
only
with
the
city
and
elected
officials,
and
you
in
June
I
think
Steven
has
a
slide
later
on
talking
about
that,
a
little
bit
more
so
I
know
this
was
a
lot
so
I'm
going
to
take
a
pause
I'm
going
to
put
a
the
link
in
the
chat
to
the
document,
but
I'll
turn
it
back
over
to
Jeff
to
just
sort
of
give
it
sort
of
instant
pull
right
at
first
blush.
D
D
D
Again,
we
recognize
it's
hard
to
present
these
and
have
you
digest
them
and
then
answer
it
right
away,
but
we
like
to
just
get
a
quick
feel.
Just
you
know,
on
the
spot,
what
people
generally
are
thinking
about
these?
There
is
other
opportunities
to
give
feedback
in
terms
of
specifics
through
this,
but
we
just
wanted
to
get
a
quick
sense
of
what
people
were
thinking.
E
Thanks
Jeff
so
how
to
get
involved.
Obviously,
next
slide,
we
have
these
meetings.
Every
month
we
will
have
another
meeting
a
month
from
today
on
June
27th
or
every
fourth
Tuesday
from
6
30
to
8..
E
E
We
have
an
open
house
and
we'll
have
a
number
of
those
that
we
have
not
yet
scheduled,
but
they
are
tpd
again.
This
process
of
onboarding,
the
design
team
and
and
continuing
with
the
conversation
that
we've
been
having
for
over
a
year
now
is
going
to
have
a
lot
of
overlap.
So
we're
not
going
to
just
kind
of
hand
it
off,
but
we're
going
to
continue
and
bring
the
designers
on
so
that
they
can
get
the
benefit
of
the
process
that
we've
had
to
date.
E
Next
slide,
we've
had
a
number
of
real
talks,
as
I
mentioned
and
are
having
a
really
large
one
with
youth
next
week,
we'd
love
to
get
more
people
involved
in
the
real
talks.
E
So
please
scan
this
QR
code
right
now
or
if
someone
can
paste
in
the
link
to
RSVP
for
Real
Talk
again,
it's
a
group
of
four
to
eight
community
members
after
you
participated
in
a
real
talk
which
you
are
compensated
for.
You
can
then
decide
you
might
want
to
host
a
real
talk,
in
which
case
you're
compensated
at
a
much
higher
rate
and
can
convene
some
of
your
neighbors
to
have
a
similar
kind
of
conversation.
E
Those
conversations
are
recorded,
they
will
be
analyzed
and
we
will
bring
emerging
themes
out
of
the
conversations
and
it's
really
thinking
about
what
the
future
of
the
neighborhood
can
look
like
and
where
you
see
your
place
in
that
and
how
we
can
make
that
happen.
Next
slide
foreign.
E
Public
meeting
there
will
be
another
one
in
June.
This
will
be
in
Grove
Hall.
There
are
drop-ins
in
Grove,
Hall
and
Mattapan
Square.
Every
week,
Grove
Hall
Public
Library
every
Wednesday
from
10
to
12.
You
can
drop
in
Kirsty
and
others
from
her
team.
Are
there
from
the
city
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
have
about
this
process,
or
this
project
or
ideas
you
want
to
share
concerns
that
you
have
follow-ups
you
want
to
make
and
then
Mattapan,
Square
Public
Library,
every
Thursday
from
1
to
3
P.M
next
slide.
A
Yeah
so
I
see
Jeff
thank
you
for
launching
the
poll,
so
we
just
always
like
to
ask
people
if
they're
interested
in
getting
more
involved.
We
have
some
opportunities
to
sort
of
help
us
with
engagement
both
with
those
real
talk,
conversations
which
are
smaller
group
conversations
really
forward-looking.
Talking
about
how
you
experience
your
neighborhood
today,
how
you'd
like
to
experience
it
in
the
future
and
we
also
have
had
different
opportunities
pop
up.
A
For
example,
we
have
some
folks
right
now
who
are
helping
us
survey:
bus
riders
on
Blue,
Hill
Avenue,
so
lots
of
different
ways
to
get
involved.
A
C
A
And
then
in
terms
of
how
to
stay
connected,
so
as
we've
mentioned,
we
know
that
we've
presented
a
lot
of
information
tonight.
The
metrics
some
of
you
all
might
want
to
dive
into
them
a
bit
more
as
referenced.
So
there's
the
link
in
the
chat
they're
also
available
on
boston.gov
Bluefield
Avenue.
They
are
under
the
project
materials
section
and
if
you
have
feedback
about
those,
if
you
want
to
talk
about
them
more,
if
there
are
things
we've
missed,
there
are
lots
of
ways
to
let
us
know
you
can
type
it
in
the
chat
here
tonight.

that
goes
straight
to
the
phone
on
my
desk.
I
check
those
voicemails
very
regularly
and
we'll
get
back
in
touch.
If
you
want
to
call
back
number
just
make
sure
you,
if
you
want
to
be
called
back,
just
make
sure
to
leave
a
call
back
number
and
we
also
check
our
email
inbox
very
regularly
too.
A
A
A
B

Is
it
possible
for
you
to
do
a
section
of
Blue,
Hill
Ave
with
temporary
barriers
to
simulate
what
you're
trying
to
do
on
the
entire
length
of
Blue,
Hill
Avenue,
because
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
factors
that
you
haven't
taken
into
consideration
as
you
plan
a
theoretical
model
because
I
don't
know
where
you're
you
know,
if
you're
planning
on
moving
parking
off,
you
know
if
you're,
if
you're
aware
that
there's
a
lot
of
delivery
vehicles
that
are
coming
in,
if
there's
a
lot
of
people
who
are
perhaps
you're
not
considering
all
the
factors
and
the
fact
that
Google
app,
even
as
it
is
now
a
busy
a
busy
road
that
can
has
issues
even
before
you're
putting
in
this
design
I.
G
A
No
thank
you
so
much
Miss
Forbes,
it's
it's
a
good
question,
like
you
said
this
is
this
is
three
miles.
This
is
a
big
long
Street.
It
serves
a
lot
of
people
a
lot
of
different
types
of
uses.
So
it's
hard
for
us
to
do
what
you're
talking
about
in
terms
of
what
we
would
call
a
pilot
where
you
kind
of
like
test
something
out,
because
the
the
types
of
things
that
we're
talking
through
like
having
a
lane
for
buses
or
something
like
that,
would
require
changes
to
our
signals.
A
It
would
require
like
areas
for
people
to
board
the
bus.
If
we're
not
gonna
just
you
know
it,
because
if
we
piloted
bus
lanes
on
the
side
or
something,
then
what
do
you
do
about
the
parking?
So,
unfortunately,
this
project,
or
fortunately
depending
on
how
you
look
at
it,
this
project
is
so
complex
that
that
it
would
be
hard
to
do
sort
of
that
short-term
testing.
A
But
your
concerns
that
you
lifted
up
are
really
important,
so
there
are
some
other
ways
that
we
are
trying
to
get
at
those
same
answers
since
we
can't
trial
this
in
the
way
we
could
with
like
a
smaller
safety
Improvement
or
something
like
that.
So
to
the
point
about
businesses,
we've
committed
to
surveying
every
business
on
Blue
Hill
Avenue,
we've
made
a
good
bit
of
progress
on
that
in
the
Square
were
lagging
behind.
A
Frankly,
I'll
be
honest
in
Grove
Hall,
but
we're
working
on
making
a
big
push
for
that
this
summer
and
we're
going
to
be
working
in
close
partnership
with
the
greater
Grove
Hall
main
streets
to
get
at
those
things
like
making
sure
we
know
where
people
get
their
deliveries,
not
only
where,
but
how
big
of
a
truck
you
know
like?
Are
they
coming
in
the
back
of
a
van?
Are
they
coming
on
an
18-wheeler
like
Duncan?
A
So
often
does
those
sorts
of
questions
and
then
you'll
see
to-
and
you
know
we'll
as
we
start
to
talk
through
designs-
we've
really
committed
to
this
block
by
block
strategy
so
that
folks
from
the
community
who
really
have
that
deep
experiential
knowledge
of
parts
of
the
corridor
can
come
in
and
tell
us
like
I,
don't
know
if
you've
thought
about
X,
like
my
neighbor
unloads
groceries
here
and
she
you
know,
has
trouble,
she
has
a
disability
or
she
has
trouble
walking
she's
going
to
need
somewhere
in
order
to
do
that,
those
sorts
of
small
things
so
that
if
we,
if
we
do
our
jobs
well,
we
can
get
at
those
through
the
conversations
that
we're
committed
to
having
with
folks
over
the
course
of
talking
through
designs,
to
make
sure
that
we
those
elements
right.
A
So
hopefully
that
answered
your
question:
Miss
Forbes,
okay,
looking
back
at
the
chat,
why
would
the
signals
have
to
change
so
great
question?
So
sometimes
the
signals
have
to
change
in
order
to
let
the
bus
go
first,
so
it
depending
on
where
it
is
or
if
you
have,
for
example,
there's
a
lot
of
coordination
that
has
to
go
on
in
terms
of
who
can
go
straight.
Who
can
go
right?
Where
are
they
located
and
relative
to
each
other?
Where
are
people
walking
all
those
sorts
of
things?
A
So
those
sometimes
we
don't
have
the
correct
signals
for
it
like.
If
you
need
to
separate
the
people
walking
in
the
bus
going
and
also
the
cars,
we
don't
always
have
all
the
signal
heads
that
we
need
for
that.
So
that
can
be
a
barrier
and
also
signal.
Timing
is
way
more
complicated
than
I
ever
anticipated
before
I
got
into
this
profession,
and
so
we
can't
just
do
like
small
tweaks
without
thinking
about
how
it
will
affect
the
broader
Network.
A
We
are,
however,
very
committed
to
as
part
of
this
project
looking
at
signal
timing
overall,
so
we've
heard
a
lot
about
people
having
a
lot
of
delay
at
lights,
whether
they're,
walking
or
they're
in
a
car
or
they're
on
a
bus.
We've
also
heard
about
people
not
having
enough
time
to
cross
the
street.
A
So
that'll
also
be
part
of
this
conversation
that
we're
having
with
people
about
those
trade-offs,
because
signals
are
kind
of
like
a
pie,
and
you
only
have
so
much
of
a
pie
to
distribute
to
all
these
different
people
and
all
these
different
movements,
and
so
how
you
do.
That
is
a
actually
a
difficult
question.
H
Sometimes
I
have
a
little
trouble.
Yeah
yeah
I
was
I,
have
a
little
bit
a
few
concerns
as
well
as
one
of
those.
Ladies
that
had
talked
earlier.
Yeah
one
thing:
I
couldn't
do
I'm.
Sorry,
real,
quick
I
couldn't
really
answer
the
serving
in
time
that
the
the
very
first
survey
no.
A
H
But
I
wanted
to
say
that
I
I
drive
a
lot
yeah
and
for
me
driving
like
I
work
for
the
T
I
work,
construction
and
I
drive
a
lot
because,
just
like
things
like
taking
the
T
and
riding
the
bike
are
just
not
feasible
modes
of
transportation.
From
me
and
like
there
were
many
people
like
me,
even
though
I
should
be
talking
about
myself,
it's
just
not
feasible,
because
I
don't
have
like
a
static
work
site.
H
You
know
what
I'm
saying
like
I,
don't
show
up
at
the
same
spot
every
single
day
and
the
work
hours.
Sometimes
I
start
at
five.
Maybe
four
like
so
like
things
like
riding
a
bike
and
taking
the
T.
That's
just
it
doesn't
work
for
me.
You
know
what
I
mean
and
that's
one
thing
and
another
thing
I
had
a
concern
about
is
like
after
you
implement
certain
things
like
say,
bike
lanes
and
stuff.
H
H
You
see
how
the
traffic
just
backs
up
from
that
and
I
have
a
fear
that
that's
the
same
thing's
gonna
happen
with
Blue
Hill
Ave
you're
gonna
get
you
want
to
talk
about
safety
with
bikes
and
pedestrians,
but
once
you
add
these
bike,
Lanes
you
don't
you
see,
you
don't
get
too
much
use
out
of
it,
and
so
it's
like
kind
of
defeats.
The
purpose-
and
my
last
thing
I
want
to
mention
about-
is
pedestrian
safety.
H
It
kind
of
goes
both
ways.
I
mean
I,
see
it
every
single
day.
People
just
walk
out
in
the
street
phone
in
their
face
that
very
rarely
do
they
use
the
crosswalk
like
I
live
in
Mattapan
Square,
so
I
see
it
all
the
time
the
crosswalks
not
being
used
and,
like
I
said,
the
safety
goes
both
ways
we
can't
you
know
when
I
was
younger.
There
was
always
a
campaign
of
looking
both
ways
before
you
cross
the
street.
That's
all
gone,
you
know,
everybody's
phone
is
just
in
their
facing
out.
A
H
C
A
Go
ahead,
foreign
first,
thank
you
for
your
work,
I'm,
keeping
your
mpti
system
running.
We
appreciate
you
so
in
terms
of
your
question
so
completely
agreed.
There
will
always
be
people
who
need
to
drive.
There
will
also
always
be
people
who
need
to
take
the
bus.
There
will
always
be
people
who
need
to
walk,
so
we
are
absolutely
designing
with
people
using
different
modes
in
mind
and
we'll
make
sure
that
all
of
the
sort
of
alternative
design
scenarios
we
share
speak
to
each
of
those
specific
perspectives.
A
So
that's
to
your
first
point
to
your
second
point
about:
do
we
study
things
after
we
put
them
in?
Yes?
Yes,
we
do
so.
We
have
started
trying
to
we've
gotten
access
to
new
data
sources.
We've
been
trying
to
do
a
better
job
of
really
stepping
in
and
doing
thorough
analyzes
of
projects
after
they've
gone
in
the
ground
in
terms
of
American
Legion,
specifically,
I
was
not
at
the
city
actually,
when
that
project
went
in.
A
But
my
understanding
of
how
it's
been
communicated
to
me
is
that
the
primary
goal
of
American
Legion
was
actually
to
stop
drag
racing
on
American
Legion,
because
people
were
quite
literally
dying
because
of
reckless
driving
and
so
part
of
what
you
know
putting
the
bike
lane
there
does
is
it
takes
up
extra
space
and
then
that's
why
you
sort
of
have
the
narrowing
from
two
two
lanes
to
one
I've
heard
a
lot
of
feedback
that
I've
passed
to
to
that
American
Legion
project
team
about,
like
you
know,
maybe
it
Narrows
too
much
those
sorts
of
questions
for
sure
in
terms
of
you
know
how
many
people
are
actually
using
the
American
Legion
bike
lane
part
of
why
we
have
that
metric
about
what
role
does
this
play
in
the
broader
network
is
because,
if
things
aren't
connected
to
a
broader
Network,
people
might
not
necessarily
use
them
so
American
Legion.
A
A
You
want
to
go
to
Franklin,
Park
and
so
we're
sort
of
in
this
intermittent
stage,
where
we're
trying
to
better
build
out
our
our
networks
as
a
city,
but
until
we
can
make
those
connections
we
might
not
see
as
much
use
on
those
on
those
sorts
of
areas
as
as
we
might
hope
we
will
in
the
future.
So
that
was
question
number
two
question
number
three
was
I'm
forgetting
now
anybody
help
me
out.
Question
number
three
I,
think
no
okay,
I'm!
So
sorry,
sir
I'll
watch
the
recording
of
this.
A
A
The
more
specific
the
better
on
these,
because
we
do.
We
absolutely
want
this
information,
so
you
know
if
there
are
any
specific
places
where
you
see,
like
certain
Behavior
I've
heard
so
much
about
happy,
supermarket
and
triple
parking.
So
that's
something
that
we're
very
attuned
to
all
of
those
items.
A
There's
a
question
about
whether
or
not
this
would
be
similar
to
the
redesign
on
Tremont
Street
in
the
South
End.
So
there
are
two
very
different
types
of
streets:
they're
different
in
terms
of
you
know,
sort
of
like
Tremont
Street
is
almost
exclusively
business.
Land
uses.
We've
got
a
lot
more
residential
along
Blue
Hill
Avenue,
the
street
widths
are
different
kind
of
how
their
use
is
different,
so
I
I,
don't
think
that
like
that
is
exactly
how
the
level
look.
I
I
Charging
stations
and,
and
if
that
will
spill
over,
for
instance,
Into
the
Blue
Hill
Parkway
area,
heading
down,
DCR
on
in
in
High
Park,
The,
Truman,
Parkway
area,
I
I
actually
live
in
Milton
right
on
the
Milton
Mattapan
line
and
there's
a
number
of
riders
who
actually
Park
in
Milton
in
order
to
commute
into
Boston
and
I'm.
Just
curious.
I
If
there's
been
position,
if,
if
there's
consideration
in
the
design
planning,
even
though
we're
at
the
very
early
stage
of
talking
and
design
Etc
the
Implement
stations
that
will
even
intersect
into
other
towns
outside
of
Boston.
A
Yes,
so
that's
a
great
question.
First,
on
sort
of
the
electric
vehicle
charging
stations
there
actually
are
some
EV
charging
stations
currently
available
in
the
public
parking
lot
in
Mattapan
Square
right
behind
the
post
office,
so
that
is
currently
an
option
for
people
yeah.
We
haven't
gotten
to
that
point
of
the
design
here.
Yet
in
terms
of
talking
about
that,
but
that's
definitely
a
conversation.
We'll
have
there's
also
some
talk
in
both
go
Boston
2030
about
that
topic
as
well
as
plan
Mattapan,
so
those
are
conversations
to
have
in
the
future.
J
A
And
coordinate
with
our
neighbors
to
the
South
because,
as
you
mentioned,
you
know
it's
not
like
no
cars
cross,
no
people
cross
the
line
between
Milton
and
Mattapan.
There's
a
lot
of
movement
there,
so
we
will
be
coordinating
with
our
our
counterparts
down
in
Milton
too.
I
Okay,
great
I
do
have
another
question
quickly.
This
team,
first
of
all,
the
weekly
check-ins
I,
just
became
aware
of
it.
Today,
I
haven't
been
on
a
call
in
a
while.
So
that's
great
that
it's
happening
at
Grove
Hall
and
at
The
Dudley
I
mean
on
the
matapan
library.
Is
there
a
way
that
team
can
can
maybe
off
schedule
visit
an
organization?
That's
more
bilingual
in
language
to
communicate
an
informal
town
hall
to
that
group
and.
I
Of
I
I'm
thinking
of
a
large
group
of
patients,
speaking
Creole
speaking,
people
that
I
I'm
aware
of
that,
may
need
this
information.
That's
so
readily
used
the
Blue
Hill
Avenue
Park
roadway
there,
but
who
are
often
time
unaware
that
these
type
of
town
halls
are
taking
place
and
I
myself
am
Limited
in
actually
being
the
spokesman
for
the
group.
I
You
know
what
I
mean,
but
if,
if
I
know,
there
can
be
a
one-and-done
arranged
meeting
where
we
can
get
a
majority
of
these
group
leaders,
for
instance,
I
know
one
of
the
leaders
that
that
has
a
business
in
Mattapan
Square
and
also
has
a
nursing
home
that
services
that
Community
a
large
community.
It
would
be
helpful
to
also
get
that
information
to
other
people.
A
C
A
Them
that
we've
been
doing
so,
we
would
absolutely
love
to
connect
with
you.
If
you
don't
mind,
emailing
sort
of
the
project
email,
we
can
absolutely
get
in
touch
after
this
we'd
love
to
collaborate
on
that.
Okay,.
A
On
this,
too,
okay
I
know
that
Chevella
highlighted
some
things
from
the
chat
earlier
that
I
missed
okay,
so
some
questions
from
Mr
Elisa.
What
are
the
metrics?
How
are
they
developed?
What
is
the
metric
as
opposed
to
an
actual
engagement
process,
so
the
metrics
actually
Reagan?
Would
you
like
to
talk
sort
of
again
about
how
the
metrics
were
developed
and
what
it
is,
as
opposed
to
an
actual
engagement
process?
Sure.
F
I
think
the
metrics
I
mean
the
easiest
way.
I
could
say
it,
and
some
of
the
more
technical
folks
can
tell
me
can
jump
in
if
I
have
this
wrong
is
I.
Think
the
metrics
will
with
respect
to
the
engagement,
which
is
more
my
cup
of
tea.
Here,
the
metrics
will
be
used
to
facilitate
the
engagement
process.
It
is
designed
to
provide
the
public,
the
information,
so
they
can
make
informed
decisions
about
what
they
are
seeing
in
terms
of
the
designs
in
front
of
them.
F
For
example,
if
you
have
a
design
and
you're
looking
and
it's
you
know
it's
like
an
engineering
looking
drawing
and
like
what
does
this
mean
and
I
think
the
metrics
are
able
our
tools
to
be
able
to
compare
across,
and
you
can
see
how
many
parking
spaces
are
going
to
be
in
this
one
alternative
versus
another,
for
example.
That's
just
one
example,
so
I
think
what
we
want
to
make
sure
is
that
we're
developing
the
right
measurements
right
to
share
when
this
design
scenarios
are
also
shared,
and
then
the
engagement
will
be
those
discussions.
F
A
I
think
so,
and
just
a
follow-up
question
I
noted
to
that
in
the
chat
is
how
let
me
see
how
do
the
metrics
get
compared
to
the
existing
situation,
to.
F
F
Yeah
I
think
actually
yeah
I,
just
so
I
will
maybe
defer
to
Ned
if
he
is
still
on
the
call
for
this,
but
my
understanding
is
that
there
will
be,
for
example,
it
won't
just
be
the
parking
spaces
for
alternative
number
one
and
alternative
number
two.
It
would
also
be
compared
to
the
situation
on
the
ground
today
as
well.
So
it's
not
just
these
future
scenarios,
but
also
you'll
have
that
data.
For
today,
Ned
do
I
have
that
right,
I
see,
you've
come
off
camera
or
on
camera.
J
Done
you
know
no
worries
I'm
off
mute
now,
yes,
that
that's
that's
the
case,
I
mean
that's.
That's
really
I
think
what
people
are
really
interested
in
how
how
is
you
know
a
proposed
design
option?
J
F
C
F
J
Yes,
yeah
we're
we're
out
there
we've
we've.
We
we
have
collected
much
of
the
data,
we'll
be
collecting
more
data
about
the
existing
conditions
that
we
can.
You
know,
compare
any
design
options
to.
A
If
you
see
folks
out
there
in
the
yellow,
vests,
don't
be
afraid,
no
decisions
have
been
made,
we're
just
making
sure
we
got
all
the
data
that
we
need
in
order
to
answer
your
questions,
to
address
the
things
that
we've
been
seeing
in
the
chat
tonight
and
make
sure
that
we
can
have
the
conversation
that
the
community
wants
to
have
about
what
the
options
are.
I
also
see
that
there
is
a
question
from
Miss
Wilson
in
the
chat.
Are
they
keeping
up
with
beautification
of
the
plants?
Etc?
A
Yes?
So
we
are.
We
actually
just
had
our
new
head
of
green
infrastructure
present
at
last
month's
meeting
to
talk
about
sort
of
the
city's
new
approach
to
how
we
can
better
plant
our
trees
to
make
sure
that
they
Thrive
that
they're
healthy
and
that
they
stick
around
for
a
long
time,
and
those
are
all
tactics
that
we
plan
to
implement
on
Blue,
Hill
Avenue.
A
really
key
part
of
that
actually
is
pairing.
A
So
we'll
be
working
on
that
and
then
we
also
just
met
with
parks
to
talk
about
the
sort
of
the
the
trees
as
they
are
today,
and
so
they
are
monitoring
actively
all
the
trees
on
Blue
Hill
Ave
right
now
to
see
kind
of
how
they
Leaf
how
it
state
they're
in
if
there
needs
to
be
any
pruning
those
sorts
of
activities
and
we're
hopeful
that
we
can
have
Parks
talk
some
more
about
that
sometime
soon,
Kenya
hi
there
I'm
asking
you
to
me,
can.
K
You
hear
me
yes,
okay,
I,
just
good
evening.
Everybody
I
just
wanted
to
introduce
myself.
My
name
is
Kenya
Beeman
I'm,
a
lifelong
medicine.
That's
it
I'm.
Also
one
of
the
community
engagement
managers
at
the
bpda
and
I
also
sit
on
the
team
for
this
project,
but
I'm
speaking
as
a
resident
of
Mattapan
and
someone
who
predominantly
drives
one
thing,
I
know
for
sure
driving
down
Blue
Hill
Avenue
to
some
pretty
much.
My
my
points
is
that
it
can't
remain
what
it
is
right
now.
K
Blue
Hill
Avenue
for
decades
has
not
only
been
neglected,
but
these
an
abundance
of
improvements
of
all
the
things
from
traffic
lights,
sidewalk
to
Street,
repaving,
to
speeding
enforcement,
I.
Guess
it's
the
parking
situation,
it's
a
whole
mess,
and
so
we're
not
going
to
sit
on
this
call
and
act
like
it
is
not
I.
Think
if
we're
very
honest
with
ourselves,
Blue
Hill
Ave
needs
a
lot
of
work.
Now.
K
What
that
may
look
like
is
it's
still
up
for
discussion,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
people
are
very
clear
with
themselves
whether
you
live
on
the
live
on
Blue
Hill
Avenue
live
off
of
Bluefield
Avenue,
that
where
we
travel
up
and
down
that
street
it
is
never
a
good
experience.
I
don't
know
if
I
should
be.
You
know
if
I
should
have
a
glass
if
I
should
have
a
cocktail
or
if
I
should
just
go
somewhere
and
just
walk
myself
to
sleep
after
driving
down
blue
little
Avenue
like
it's,
it's
it's
it
it.
K
It
drives
up
anxiety.
It's
just
a
lot
of
worry,
and
just
you
know
it
just
it
rocks
your
nerves,
going
up
and
down.
Bluegill,
Avenue
and
I
also
want
to
just
make
note
that
we
have
a
huge
people
problem,
not
just
for
Blue
Hill
Avenue,
but
a
people
problem
as
it
relates
to
speeding
up
and
down
our
streets.
I
live
in
Mattapan.
We
literally
have
somebody
knock
over
one
of
our
treasure
statues
of
Mattapan
because
of
speeding
right
on
Blue
Hill
Avenue.
K
Then
there
was
another
incident
since
that
accident
on
the
same
intersection.
Tommy.
That's
not
a
people
problem.
What
are
you
speeding
for?
Where
are
you
going
so
I
just
want
to
just
share
my
own
experience:
I,
don't
care
for
driving
up
and
down
bluegill,
Avenue
and
I'm,
born
and
bred
in
that
in
vitapan?
So
it's
not
far
from
where
I
live.
K
It
would
be
easier
route
for
me
to
get
from
one
neighborhood
to
the
next,
but
I
don't
like
it
because
of
what
it
makes
me
feel:
I,
don't
like
the
anxiety,
I,
don't
I,
don't
I,
don't
feel
quite
safe,
going
down,
Blue
Hill,
Avenue
I,
just
don't
and
I
should,
and
so
you
know
again.
I
just
want
to
remind
folks
who
our
bostonians
or
not
bostonians,
that
Blue
Hill
Avenue
has
been
an
issue
for
decades,
and
this
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
miss
some
very
needed
improvements.
I'm,
not
a
statistics.
K
A
Thank
you,
Kenya
I
really
appreciate
that
and
sort
of
speaking
of
stress
and
then
and
then
also
connecting
actually
to
one
of
the
the
questions
in
the
chat.
Have
there
been
thoughts
about
the
impact
of
how
the
proposed
changes
will
impact
the
volume
of
school
buses
for
Boston
and
metco
that
travel,
Blue,
Hill
Avenue?
Also,
there's
the
Ride
Transportation
Service
with
pickup
and
drop-offs
as
well.
Are
there
any
conversations
with
them
about
the
design
and
impacts?
Yes,
so
to
the
point
of
it
being
so
stressful.
A
We
have
a
blanket
policy
in
the
city
of
Boston
that
all
of
our
bus
lanes
can
be
used
by
emergency
vehicles,
so
ambulances
and
police
buy
school
buses
and
also
by
the
ride
Vehicles.
So
that's
for
folks
who
have
a
disability
of
some
kind
and
need
someone
that
can
really
like
pick
them
up
and
drop
them
off
at
their
location.
It's
a
public
transportation
version
of
that.
So
all
all
of
those
folks
can
use
all
sort
of
boarding
platforms
that
are
built
as
part
of
our
our
bus
projects.
A
They
can
use
all
bus
lanes
and
I
think
that
that,
in
addition
to
providing
like
a
really
good
high
quality
place
for
people
to
wait
for
wherever
they're
going
making
sure
that
there's,
you
know,
we
really
try
to
ensure
that
there's
an
accessible
place
for
people
to
drop
off
if
people
are
parked
in
bus
lanes.
Those
are
not
good.
Pickup
drop-off
areas
for
people
who
are
using
any
type
of
motability
device
have
a
stroller,
have
a
grocery
cart.
A
It
also
I
think
helps
with
some
of
the
the
stresses
and
pressures
that
we've
heard
people
describe
through
some
of
our
Real
Talk
conversations.
I
was
in
one
with
two
women
who
were
talking
about
sort
of
the
the
Panic
that
you
feel
when
you're
stuck
in
traffic,
and
there
is
an
ambulance
coming
up
behind
you
trying
to
get
by,
and
you
don't
know
where
to
go
or
what
to
do.
A
A
So
I'm,
seeing
some
questions
about
you
know,
were
not
really
questions
more
comments
about
how
you
know
there
is
agreement
that
that
you
know
Blue
Hill
Avenue
could
work
better
than
it
does.
Today,
we've
heard
from
a
lot
of
people
that
it's
not
somewhere
that
they
like
to
travel
on
regularly.
It
can
be
stressful,
it
can
be
chaotic,
it
can
be
really
uncomfortable
and
it
affects
how
people
choose
to
get
around
the
city
and
how
they
just
get
around
their
neighborhoods.
A
So
I
would
say
that
that
again
to
the
goals
of
this
project,
one
of
the
key
things
we
are
really
trying
to
think
about
through
this
project
is
access.
How
can
we
make
sure
that
everybody,
regardless
of
their
means,
regardless
of
how
they
travel,
regardless
of
what
state
their
body
is
in,
regardless
of
how
old
they
are,
can
get
where
they
want
to
go,
not
just
where
they
need
to
go,
but
also
where
they
want
to
go
Blue
Hill
Avenue
is
an
amazing
place.
You
have
so
many
wonderful
Parks.
A
You
have
so
many
wonderful
Community
spaces,
so
many
wonderful
restaurants
and
businesses.
How
can
we
make
sure
that
we
are?
We
are
moving
towards
a
project
that
that
meets
those
needs
or
balances
those
needs,
because
sometimes
they
are
competing.
We've
heard
from
folks,
you
know
I
hate
getting
stuck
in
traffic.
It
takes
too
long
to
drive.
I
completely,
understand
that,
and
also
you
know
the
faster
someone's
driving
the
more
likely
they
are
to
kill
someone
if
they
hit
them.
A
So
there
are
sort
of
these
balancing
acts
we
have
to
do
in
transportation
planning
where
we're
balancing
the
needs
and
perspectives
of
different
people
like
I,
said
too,
with
the
the
traffic
signals.
You
know
if
you're
giving
more
time
to
The
Pedestrian
to
walk
across.
That
means
you
might
be
taking
some
green
light
time
so,
but
these
are
all
conversations
that
you
know
often
we
have
as
Transportation
professionals
what
we're
really
trying
to
do
through
this.
A
A
I'm
just
looking
I
know
we're
nearing
eight
o'clock.
We
do
try
to
be
respectful
of
people's
time,
but
I
want
to
see
if
there
are
any
sort
of
other
questions.
There's
a
question
of
Is.
It
feasible
to
create
a
computer
model
to
simulate
conditions
on
Blue,
Hill
Avenue,
so
I
will
let
Ned
I
think
talk
to
some
of
the
more
like
traffic
modeling
that
we
kind
of
do
but
miss
Forbes
to
your
point,
something
that
Charlotte
and
consult
Lila
have
piloted
sort
of
through
it's
not
quite
a
I.
J
Okay,
yes,
there,
there
are
what
we'll
be
using.
You
know
kind
of
a
range
of
of
tools
that
are,
you
know,
technical
graphical
to
to
kind
of
communicate
the
the
the
benefits
and
impacts
of
of
any
potential
changes,
and
that
includes
computerized
traffic
analysis
software,
where
we
we
put
in
information
about
the
the
number
of
lanes.
J
We
count
the
the
the
the
traffic
put
in
that
information
and
it
it
analyzes
the
you
know,
kind
of
the
the
level
of
congestion
and
delay
that
enables
us
to
make
make
projections.
J
J
J
So
you
know
we
we,
we
are
really
just
getting
started
on
kind
of
the
you
know,
the
the
analysis
and
and
and
design
process
kind
of
you
know
taking
the
Baton
from
you
know,
kind
of
more
from
the
the
the
the
planning
and
Outreach
you
know
the
initial
initial
phase
of
work,
but
that
is
something
that
we
will
be
undertaking
and
sharing
the
information
that
we
get
from
that
with
with
this
group.
A
Thanks
Dan
and
with
that
we
are
officially
at
801.
So
thank
you,
everybody
so
much
for
coming
tonight.
Thank
you
for
posting
in
the
chat
we
are.
We
pull
all
of
that
information
into
our
sort
of
like
input
tracker
that
I
was
mentioning
earlier.
A
So
that's
all
really
valuable
information
that
gets
captured
by
us
I
just
appreciate
you
all
showing
up
with
us
every
fourth
Tuesday
we'll
have
another
one
of
these
next
month
and
we'll
start
to
talk
more
in
more
detail
about
design
at
that
meeting,
so
get
excited
in
the
meantime.
If
you
have
any
questions
comments,
if
you
just
want
to
talk
with
me
about
sort
of
you
know
what
we've
been
doing
today,
where
we've
been
going,
you
can
always
reach
us
at
our
email,
booklab
boston.gov
or
by
calling
me
that
is.
