From YouTube: Egleston Square Redesign Virtual Public Meeting #1
Description
11-04-2020
First virtual public meeting for the Egleston Square Redesign project. The project will improve safety for people using all modes of transportation in and around Egleston Square.
A
So,
just
as
an
introduction
again,
my
name
is
william
moos,
I'm
a
transportation
planner
with
boston
transportation,
department
and
I'll
be
managing
this
project
for
the
city.
A
I'm
joined
as
well
by
several
folks
from
kittleson
and
associates,
who
are
our
consultants,
who
will
be
helping
us
with
this
project,
with
both
design
work
and
engagement
at
every
stage
of
the
project
and
kittleson
is
really
a
national
leader
in
designing
streets
for
people
who
use
all
modes
of
transportation
and
we're
very
very
excited
to
have
them
on
board
working
with
us
on
this
project
and
think
they're
going
to
help
us
deliver
a
really
great
beneficial
project
for
this
neighborhood.
A
A
I
will
we'll
leave
a
good
bit
of
time
for
that,
but
do
feel
free
to
post
questions
and
comments
in
the
questions
box.
At
any
point
in
the
presentation
you
can
see
that
sort
of
called
out
here
in
the
sidebar
we've
also
prepared
some
handouts
with
visuals
that
are
available
for
download
all
these
visuals
are
going
to
be
in
the
presentation,
but
you
may
want
to
have
them
to
reference
later
or
look
at
things
in
some
more
detail
up
close.
A
So
if
you
want
to
do
that,
where
you
see
handouts
here
in
the
sidebar
you'll
see
you'll
see
a
single
file
there
that
you
can
download.
If
you
want
to
open
that
and
reference
that
either
during
the
meeting
or
afterwards.
If
you
want
to
look
at
things
in
more
detail,
obviously
we
ask
that
you
please
be
courteous
to
your
fellow
meeting
participants
and
thank
you
very
much
for
joining
us.
A
So
an
update
on
public
engagement.
We
had
our
first
real
public
meeting
for
this
project,
a
social
distance
pop-up
on
october
27th
and
robert
lawson
park
right
in
the
heart
of
edison
square,
and
we
got
a
lot
of
great
feedback
from
neighbors
who
walk,
who
bike
who
drive,
who
take
public
transportation,
and
they
gave
us
also
a
lot
of
good
insights
on
some
of
the
challenges
that
they
face.
Moving
around
in
the
neighborhood
and
some
of
their
ideas
about
how
we
could
make
things
better.
A
Tonight's
virtual
meeting
is
really
the
companion
to
that
in-person
meeting
that
we
did
and
you'll
be
seeing
the
same
materials
that
we
presented
in
person
in
this
presentation,
and
I'd
also
like
to
highlight
that
tomorrow,
night
we'll
be
doing
a
virtual
public
meeting
with
the
same
contents
translated
into
spanish.
A
So
if
you
have
any
family
friends
neighbors
who
might
be
more
comfortable
engaging
with
this
information
in
spanish,
please
let
them
know
about
that
opportunity.
They
can
still
register
for
the
the
webinar
through
the
city's,
the
projects
webpage
on
the
city
website
and
we're
going
to
have
additional
engagement
in
spring
of
2021.
A
So
this
is
really
just
the
first
round
of
public
engagement
and
I'd
also
like
to
just
say
that
at
any
point
throughout
this
process
you
know
we're
available
via
phone
email.
A
Whatever
format
is
is
most
you
know
comfortable
and
convenient
for
you
I'll
post
my
contact
information
at
the
end
of
the
presentation
and
also
you
know
throughout
this
process,
we'll
probably
periodically
go
as
well
to
tenant
associations,
neighborhood
and
civic
associations
to
provide
updates
on
the
project.
Answer
questions
get
feedback
all
that
good
stuff,
so
there
will
be
plenty
of
opportunities
for
intermediate
check-ins
and
feedback
as
well.
Throughout
this
process,
I
do
want
to
highlight
the
project
web
page
very
quickly.
This
is
on
boston.gov.
A
It's
been
live
since
about
early
october
and
we'll
post,
updates
and
and
materials
related
to
the
project
here
on
the
web
page
like
this
presentation
after
we're
finished
with
it,
you
can
also
sign
up
for
the
project
mailing
list
here.
A
If
you
want
to
stay
in
the
loop
about
the
project,
we'll
let
you
know
about
any
other
upcoming
events-
and
there
is
an
upcoming
event
section
on
the
web
page
as
well,
where
you
can
find
details
on
public
meetings
or
any
other
events
that
are
relevant
to
this
project
and
point
out
as
well
that
you
can
see
here.
The
presentation
we'll
have
tomorrow
night.
The
meeting
will
have
tomorrow
night
and
spanish
is
up
on
the
project
webpage
and
if
you
click
there,
there's
all
the
details.
A
You
need
in
spanish
to
register
and
connect
for
that
meeting
tomorrow.
I've
also
included
the
project
web
address
down
here.
If
you
put
into
your
favorite
search
browser,
eccleston
square
redesign
boston,
it
will
also
pop
up,
as
the
first
result,
most
likely
and
I'll
I'll,
have
the
the
webpage
posted
again
at
the
end
of
the
presentation.
A
So
before
we
dive
into
the
presentation,
I'd
like
to
just
really
quickly
go
through
an
agenda,
we'll
first
start
with
some
project
background.
You
know
where's
the
project
coming
from
what
problems
are
we
trying
to
address
and
what
solutions
are
potentially
on
the
table?
A
We'll
also
take
a
quick
look
at
the
project
timeline
and
what
the
next
steps
will
be
and
then
we'll
dive
into
a
look
at
the
existing
conditions
in
the
study
area,
with
a
look
at
topics
like
walking
and
biking
in
the
study
area,
safety
in
the
study
area
and,
finally,
we'll
take
a
look
at
a
very
early
initial
proposal
of
street
functions
within
the
project
limits,
and
then
we've
reserved
a
good
bit
of
time
at
the
end,
for
what
is
really
the
most
important
part,
which
is
getting
questions
comments,
feedback
discussion
from
all
of
you,
because
the
objective
of
this
really
is
to
hear
from
you
before
we
take
the
project
any
further,
and
so
before
we
go
too
much
further
into
the
meeting.
A
I
want
to
make
sure
we
all
have
a
common
understanding
of
what
the
project
limits
are,
what
streets
and
intersections
are
included
in
the
project.
So
you
know
at
the
heart
of
the
study
area
is
the
eggleston
square
intersection,
washington
and
columbus
avenue,
which
we
know
needs
a
lot
of
help,
but
there's
a
lot
of
other
neighborhood
streets
around
that
form
an
important
little
neighborhood
network
that
we
also
want
to
to
take
an
opportunity
to
to
make
improvements
to
through
this
project.
A
So
we're
really
talking
about
approximately
from
dimmick
street,
in
the
north,
to
boylston
street
and
cup
place
in
the
south,
the
southwest
corridor
to
the
west
and
then
walnut
avenue
franklin
park
from
the
washington
street
corridor
over
to
the.
A
East
going
back-
and
you
know
what
we've
heard
both
through
previous
planning
processes
and
all
the
conversations
that
we've
had
with
the
community
so
far
on
this
project
has
been
very
consistent.
You
know
that
people
traveling
to
and
through
eclipse
and
square
today
experience
unsafe
motor
vehicle
speeds,
uncomfortable
conditions
for
people
who
are
walking
poor
bicycle
connectivity,
peak
transit
delays
on
four
mbta
bus
lines
and
underutilized
and
sort
of
poorly
connected
public
spaces.
A
So
to
address
these
these
issues,
these
existing
issues,
we
propose
really
two
two
approaches:
first,
technical
improvements
and
then
a
permanent
reconstruction.
What
do
I
mean
by
tactical
improvements?
You
know
here
we're
talking
about
improvements
that
we
can
make
using
materials
like
paint,
flexible
posts,
materials
that
are
quick
to
implement
and
and
designs
that
are
that,
are
you
know,
fairly
simple,
compared
to
a
complete
reconstruction?
A
You
know
these
tactical
improvements
aren't
intended
to
be
substitutes
or
replacements
for
permanent
fixes,
they're,
really
looking
for
opportunities
where
we
can
make
quick
safety
improvements
or
public
space
improvements
until
we
can
get
around
to
doing
a
full
design
for
these
more
complex
reconstruction
projects,
sharing
those
designs
with
the
public
vetting
those
designs
through
the
community
and
implementing
them,
which
obviously
takes
a
little
more
time.
A
Some
of
the
specific
improvements
that
we'll
be
looking
at
will
include
pedestrian
crossing
enhancements
to
make
those
crossings
safer
and
more
comfortable
for
people
who
walk
bicycle
facilities
and
traffic
calming
are
going
to
be
a
really
key
part
of
this
project,
with
the
goal
of
really
making
walking
or
biking
the
neighborhood
comfortable
for
people
of
all
ages
and
all
abilities
and
providing
really,
you
know,
comfortable
low
stress
connections
to
the
southwest
corridor
to
franklin
park
and
to
other
important.
A
You
know,
neighborhood
destinations
in
between
ada
compliance
is
going
to
be
a
key
part
of
this
project.
We
know
that
many
of
the
sidewalks
in
the
study
area
are
deficient
and
poor
from
an
accessibility
standpoint
today,
so
we
will
look
to
make
improvements
there
wherever
possible,
to
bring
those
into
into
compliance
and
enhanced
wayfinding
will
also
be
a
part
of
the
project,
making
it
easier
to
navigate
the
neighborhood
by
bike
or
on
foot.
A
We'll
look
at
opportunities
to
make
signal
timing,
improvements
for
all
modes
of
transportation.
You
know
making
pedestrian
crossings
safer,
hopefully
reducing
wait
times
for
pedestrians,
if
possible,
at
some
of
these
intersections
and
also
with
the
the
columbus,
bustling
and
implementation,
will
look
to
maintain
bus
priority
treatments
on
the
columbus
avenue
corridor
as
well.
A
So
a
quick
word
about
the
planning
context.
You
know
the
eclipse
and
square
redesign
project
is
really
building
on
a
series
of
planning
initiatives
that
go
back
several
years
and
I'd
like
to
touch
on
some
of
those.
A
Briefly,
these
first
couple
of
projects
that
are
listed
here,
they
have
more
of
an
influence
on
how
we
approach
planning
so
going
to
back
to
2010
the
boston
transportation
department
released
its
complete
streets
guidelines
and
these
really
are
about
providing
guidance
to
make
our
streets
better
and
safer
for
people
who
are
using
all
modes
of
transportation.
A
Meanwhile,
vision,
zero
is
a
program,
a
commitment
from
the
city
to
take
action
through
design
to
eliminate
fatal
and
serious
traffic,
collisions
on
our
streets
by
2030
and,
unfortunately,
the
eggleston
square,
intersection
columbus
avenue
and
washington
street
are
all
crash
hot
spots
today
and
globe.
Boston
2030
is
the
city's
long-range
transportation
plan.
It
also
makes
specific
specific
projects
that
it
recommends
and
multimodal
improvements
for
ekson
square
were
prioritized
as
a
project
in
go
boss
in
2030..
A
One
more
note
on
go
boss
in
2030.
It
also
articulates
a
number
of
ambitious
mode
share
goals.
Basically,
the
the
goal
here
is
over
the
next
several
years.
We
want
to
reduce
driving
alone
by
half,
while
significantly
increasing
healthy,
sustainable
modes
of
transportation
like
walking,
cycling
and
using
public
transportation.
A
So
you
know
everything
that
we're
doing
in
terms
of
transportation
projects
every
project
we
sort
of
look
through
the
lens
of
you
know:
how
can
we
accommodate
all
modes
of
transportation
design
for
safety
and
also
encourage
mode
shift
to
these
other,
more
sustainable
modes
of
transportation?
A
So
looking
at
local
transportation
planning
sort
of
precedence
if
we
go
back
to
2017,
the
boston
planning
and
development
agency
led
the
plan
jp
rocks
plan
and
although
this
focus
on
a
lot
of
topics
like
affordable
housing
that
are
very
important
as
well.
Transportation
also
was
a
key
topic
and
building
on
that
process,
my
department,
the
boston
transportation
department,
launched
the
jp
rocks
transportation
action
plan
process
and
you
know
working
with
the
community.
A
It
identified
and
prioritized
specific
projects
from
jackson
square
to
forest
hills,
and
you
know
this
plan
is
in
many
ways
the
key
project
that
the
eggleston
square
project
is
based
upon
and
finally,
one
of
the
core
high
priority
projects
that
emerged
from
the
jp
rocks
transportation
action
plan
where
the
columbus
avenue
bus
lanes,
and
so
this
project
includes
bus
and
pedestrian
improvements
from
jackson,
square
and
walnut
avenue,
and
it's
currently
under
construction
by
the
mbta,
and
you
know
in
the
process
of
taking
that
project
from
an
idea
into
full
design
and
implementation.
A
There
were
a
series
of
public
meetings
and
a
lot
of
conversations
with
the
community
about
that
project
that
also
influenced
this
current
project.
The
edgeless
square
redesign
particularly
highlighting
the
importance
of
prioritizing
good,
safe
bicycle
connections
through
the
neighborhood,
so
zooming
in
briefly
on
the
jp
rocks
transportation
action
plan
again
sort
of
the
the
guiding
plan
for
this
project.
A
The
the
project
limits
are
to
try
to
you
know
make
improvements
on
as
many
of
these
priority
corridors
that
have
been
identified
as
possible,
but
we've
also
widened
the
scope,
broaden
the
scope
just
a
little
bit
to
include
some
other
important
connectors,
like
the
portion
of
school
street
between
washington
and
franklin
park
and
a
couple
of
the
streets
on
the
north
side
of
of
columbus
avenue
and
eccleston
square
that
didn't
get
as
much
attention
on
the
jp
rocks
transportation
action
plan,
but
that
we
think
that,
through
some
safety,
improvements
could
really
become
important.
A
So
looking
at
the
project
timeline
and
the
next
steps,
we
kicked
off
the
project.
A
couple
of
months
ago,
we've
been
busy
working
in
the
background
collecting
existing
conditions,
information,
reviewing
previous
planning
initiatives,
and,
as
I
mentioned,
we
hosted
our
first
public
meeting
in
late
october
and
the
goals
of
that
meeting
in
the
meeting
tonight
really
are
confirming
the
transportation
and
community
needs
making
sure
we've
understood
those
making
sure
that
you
know
all
the
all
the
comments-
and
you
know,
concerns
that
were
raised
through
previous
planning.
A
Initiatives
are
still
relevant
and
we
want
to
get
your
feedback
so
that
we
can
take
all
that
information
and
start
actually
moving
into
design
for
a
lot
of
these.
A
These
improvements
in
the
spring
we'll
come
back
with
a
conceptual
design
that
we
can
share
with
the
community
again,
we'll
do
another
round
of
public
meetings
to
get
feedback
on
that
and
then
based
on
the
feedback
that
we
get
on
those
designs,
I
will
continue
to
refine
the
permanent
reconstruction
designs
and
also
in
2021,
we'll
look
to
implement
any
of
the
tactical
improvements
that
are
identified
through
the
project
and
go
ahead
and
get
those
in
the
ground
and
then,
as
the
project
designs
for
the
permanent
reconstruction
near
completion.
A
A
So
that's
sort
of
the
project
timeline
as
it
stands
now
background
and
at
this
point
I'd
like
to
turn
it
over
to
my
colleague
meredith
sanders
with
kittleson
who's
going
to
take
us
through
some
of
the
existing
conditions,
information
and
also
an
initial
proposal
of
street
functions
in
the
study
area.
So
thank
you.
B
Alrighty,
thank
you
very
much,
william
all
right.
So
the
following
slides
again
that
were
presented
last
week
as
part
of
the
pop-up
meeting
represent
data
that
we
have
collected
and
summarized
as
part
of
the
needs
assessment
task
for
the
eggleston
square
redesign.
B
We
primarily
use
data
from
the
jp
rocks
transportation,
action
plan,
the
columbus
avenue,
bustling
study
and
a
recent
field
visit
to
verify,
study
area
needs
and
the
project
design
goals.
So
these
first
couple
of
slides
summarize
our
review
of
conditions
for
people
walking
and
biking
in
the
study
area
and
before
I
get
into
it.
This
is
just
a
reminder
that
we
have
and
that
you
can
access
in
your
go
to
webinar
control
panel,
a
pdf
handout
that
includes
a
high
resolution
version
of
all
the
maps
that
we're
about
to
walk
through.
B
So
if
you
prefer
to
download
that
you
know
zoom
in
and
out
I'll,
be
walking
through
these
maps,
but
some
of
them
are
quite
detailed.
So
if
you'd
like
to
zoom
into
a
particular
intersection
or
location,
you
can
do
so
via
the
handout
all
right.
B
So
the
first
thing
that
we
took
a
look
at
in
terms
of
people's
experiences
walking
and
biking
in
the
edison
square
neighborhood
was
pedestrian
activity
through
pedestrian
counts.
So
this
map
shows
the
location
of
signalized
intersections
throughout
the
study
area
and
the
available
pedestrian
count,
data
that
we
have
gathered
so
far.
B
The
information
highlights
the
fact
that
is
probably
well
known
to
all
that
columbus
avenue
is
actively
used
by
pedestrians,
while
we
have
fewer
pre-cove
accounts
for
washington
street
accounts
that
we
do
have
highlight
the
fact
that
that
corridor
is
widely
used
as
well,
and
then
something
else
that
we'd
like
to
draw
your
attention
to
and
can
be
seen
in,
the
sort
of
the
difference
between
the
black
and
then
the
red
arrows
is
that
while
many
people
are
crossing
streets
at
marked
crosswalks,
they
are
also
crossing
streets
in
the
study
area
and
locations
that
do
not
have
crosswalks,
which
indicates
you
know,
a
need
for
those
facilities.
B
That
is
that
is
currently
unmet.
Today,
a
couple
of
those
locations
include
columbus
ave
at
dixwell
street
and
thomas
ave
at
west
walnut
park.
B
B
Something
to
highlight
in
this
map
is
that,
despite
somewhat
unhospitable
conditions
in
terms
of
high
speeds,
high
volumes,
people
are
also
biking
on
columbus
avenue
and
these
neighborhood
streets
connecting
to
southwest
corridor
park.
So
the
demand
is
lower,
but
it
is
there.
People
are
using
these
streets
to
bike.
B
So
we're
sure
you
know
we
may
be
missing
some
important
community
destinations.
So
if
you've
got
one
that
you'd
really
like
to
share
with
us
feel
free
to
post
it
in
the
questions
box
or
you
know,
we
can
talk
about
it
during
the
discussion
portion
of
this
presentation,
but
we've
generally
highlighted
some
key
local
businesses,
schools,
community
centers
transit
stations
and
stops
parks
and
housing
destinations
in
the
study
area.
B
And
then,
finally,
we
took
a
look
at
sort
of
consolidating
and
theming
community
comments
from
the
jp
rocks
transportation
action
plan
related
to
walking
and
biking
and
study
area
on
a
very
high
level.
People
have
expressed
a
need
for
more
bicycle
infrastructure,
safer
pedestrian
crossings
and
the
activation
of
space
around
the
edges
square
intersection.
B
This
was
sort
of
a
key
theme
in
all
of
the
maps
that
we
put
together
related
to
community
feedback,
there's
a
lot
of
interest
and
concern
around
the
intersection
of
columbus
avenue
on
washington
street
all
right,
and
so
before
we
move
on
to
sort
of
the
next
needs
assessment
category
we
put
together
a
couple
of
polling
questions
similar
to
the
ones
that
we
asked
folks
during
the
pop-up
meeting
that
we'd,
like
you
all
to
answer,
so
I'm
going
to
go
ahead.
B
All
right
so
just
to
share
the
results
of
the
poll,
so
you
all
can
take
a
look,
looks
like
the
majority
of
folks
walk
or
bike
in
eccleston
square
neighborhood
to
access
work
or
school,
but
that's
followed
pretty
closely
by
recreation,
exercise,
errands
or
shopping
and
access
and
transit.
So
you
know
it's
exciting
to
see
that
you
know
folks
are
walking
biking
for
multiple
reasons
that
those
destinations
are
close
at
hand
and
accessible
by
those
modes.
B
C
B
Pedestrian
and
third
question,
which
is
another
way
of
getting
at
sort
of
key
community
destinations,
is
sort
of
which
streets
are
the
ones
that
you
are
regularly
walking
or
biking
on.
The
study.
D
B
Sharing
again,
unsurprisingly,
columbus,
ave
and
washington
street
are
up
there,
follow
closely
by
school
street
and
amherst
street,
and
then
our
final
question
about
your
experience,
walking
and
biking
in
eggleston
square
is
what
keeps
you
from
walking
or
biking
more
frequently
in
the
study.
B
B
Go
ahead
and
wrap
up
this
last
poll
and
share
again
these
these
key
concerns
about
walking
biking.
The
study
area
are
the
very
ones
that
we're
hoping
to
address
as
part
of
this
project.
So
again,
these
are.
These
are
simple
following
questions,
but
if
you
have
additional
feedback
related
to
your
experience,
walking
or
biking
in
the
study
area,
please
do
add
it
into
the
questions
box.
B
We,
as
william
mentioned
right,
we'll
have
a
longer
discussion
section
at
the
end
of
this
presentation,
where
we'll
go
through
your
questions
and
have
a
chance
to
talk
about
them
in
more
detail.
I
guess
that's
questions
and
comments.
B
We
first
started
by
taking
a
look
at
community
comments
and
feedback
gathered
through
boston's
vision,
zero
and
then
the
jprox
transportation
action
plan,
public
engagement
process,
and
so
the
map
on
the
left
again
highlights
those
community
concerns
emitted
through
vision,
zero
and
themes
them.
So
in
pink.
You
have
comments
related
to
an
adequate
bicycle
facilities
orange,
which
you
can
see
quite
a
bit
of
along
washington
street,
is
related
to
an
aggregate,
inadequate
pedestrian
crossings.
B
B
The
map
on
the
right
includes
this
community
concerns
specifically
submitted
through
the
jp
rock's
transportation
action
plan
focused
on
high
vehicular
speeds
and
dangerous
intersections,
and
so
I'd
say.
The
commonality
between
these
two
maps
is
that
there
are
inadequate,
walking
bicycle
biking,
facilities
within
eccleston
square
and
people
are
experiencing
or
perceiving
unsafe
driver
behavior
in
the
study
area
as
well.
B
We
supplemented
this
feedback
with
a
review
of
crash
data
from
the
boston
police
department.
This
map
each
individual
point,
shows
a
specific
crash
that
has
occurred
sometime
between
2015
and
2020.
The
orange
is
a
motor
vehicle
crash
blue,
a
bicycle-involved
crash
and
read
a
pedestrian-involved
crash.
B
What
we
found
was
that
there
are
key
cluster
locations
along
columbus
avenue,
with
high
numbers
of
crashes,
specifically
columbus,
avenue
and
walnut
avenue,
columbus
avenue
and
washington,
street
and
columbus
avenue
and
dimmick
street.
But
you
can
see.
Crashes
are
occurring
along
the
length
of
both
washington
street
and
columbus
avenue,
which
is
of
course
reflected
in
the
cities,
highlighting
these
corridors
as
hot
spots.
B
And
so
to
wrap
up
the
the
polling
questions,
part
of
our
presentation.
We
have
two
more
for
you
all.
So,
thanks
for
thanks
for
playing
along
the
first
asks,
if
there
are
any
locations
where
you
have
specific
safety
concerns
that
were
missing
from
our
maps,
so
this
is
kind
of
funky
one.
If
you
do
have
a
specific
location
that
is
important
to
you,
please
go
ahead
and
add
it
to
the
comment.
B
B
B
Alrighty
thanks
everybody
go
ahead
and
share
that
feedback,
so
a
big
one
is
visibility
and
protection
for
moving
vehicles
as
a
bicyclist
and
as
a
pedestrian,
which
makes
a
whole
lot
of
sense.
To
me
all
right
and
with
that,
we
move
on
to
sort
of
what
what
was
the
third
and
final
set
of
boards
at
our
pop-up
meeting
and
the
results
or
the
outcome
of
our
needs
assessment,
which
we
really
embarked
upon
to
make
sure
that
we
were
fully
up
to
speed
on
the
findings.
B
The
data,
the
recommendations
from
jpr's
transportation
action
plan,
but
also
to
help
verify
the
design
goals
for
this
project.
Those
design
goals
are
to
prioritize
bicycle
safety
and
comfort
to
prioritize
walking
pedestrian
safety
and
accessibility,
to
improve
the
public
realm
and
to
manage
traffic
flows.
B
Secondly,
to
identify
solutions
that
increase
safety
and
access
for
people
biking
or
taking
transit,
and
then,
finally,
to
confirm
safety
and
access
for
all
remaining
modes,
and
so
as
a
way
of
sort
of
illustrating
this
proposed
design
process,
we
developed
two
maps.
This
is
the
first
one,
and
that
is
a
proposed
multimodal
street
function
map
and
what
it
does
is
it
aims
to
show
how
we
will
make
trade-offs
and
decisions
in
early
design.
Again.
This
is
closely
informed
by
the
jp
rocks
transportation
action
plan,
community
process
and
the
columbus
avenue
bustling's
community
process.
B
You'll
find
a
lot
of
similarities
between
the
the
map
that
william
shared
early
in
the
presentation
that
was
adapted
from
the
jprox
transportation
action
plan
and
this
map.
B
I
want
to
emphasize
that
this
map
does
not
actually
reflect
any
specific
changes
or
designs
for
any
of
these
streets.
We
haven't
developed
those,
yet
it
more
again
lays
out
how
we
would
prioritize
or
balance
the
needs
of
different
modes
on
different
streets
as
we
do
develop.
Those
designs
and
again,
one
of
the
big
focuses
of
today's
conversation
is
to
gather
your
feedback
feedback
on
this
conceptual
map
to
make
sure
that
it's
it's
headed
in
the
right
direction.
B
So
again,
this
map
is
showing
in
sort
of
the
gold
or
the
yellow
and
background
that
all
streets
will
again
similar
to
our
design
process,
focus
on
providing
safe
and
accessible
function
for
pedestrians.
B
The
darker
orange
line
emphasizes
that
washington,
street
and
columbus
street
have
been
identified
as
being
most
appropriate
for
enhancing
safety
and
accessibility
for
transit
and
then
finally,
we've
identified
a
series
of
local
connectors
that
we
think
may
be
most
appropriate
for
enhancing
safety
and
accessibility
for
bicyclists.
So
again,
no
specific
plans
have
been
made
so
again.
This
is
a
way
for
us
to
make
decisions
and
we'd,
like
your
feedback
on
sort
of
the
different
multimodal
street
functions
that
we've
identified
for
streets
in
the
neighborhood.
B
So
the
multi-modal
street
function
on
in
any
neighborhood
on
any
street
is
also
influenced
by
the
primary
motor
vehicle
function
of
the
street,
and
so
this
map
goes
hand
in
hand
with
the
previous
map
and
outlines
again
our
plans,
conceptual
approach
to
managing
traffic
flows
and
speeds
in
the
study
area.
B
And
so
again
this
is
not
set
in
stone.
B
And
so
with
that,
we're
actually
going
to
move
into
the
discussion
portion
of
the
presentation,
we're
going
to
start
with
a
conversation
about
these
two
maps
in
particular
and
then
move
once
we've
chatted
about
these
two
maps,
we'll
move
back
towards
addressing
the
questions
that
you
all
have
been
providing
throughout
this
presentation
and
so
we'll
start
with
the
conversation
around
the
multimodal
street
functions
map.
B
There
are
two
ways
that
you
can
provide
feedback
if
you'd
like
to
provide
verbal
feedback,
please
raise
your
hand
and
we'll
meet
you
in
in
order
as
we
go
down
the
list
and
if
you
prefer
to
provide
written
feedback,
please
leave
those
responses
in
the
questions
box,
we'll
start
with
the
verbal
feedback
and
then
once
everybody
has
provided
that
feedback
on
this
map.
We
can
move
to
reading
aloud
and
responding
to
the
written
feedback.
A
No
I'm,
I
think
that
was
great
meredith.
You
know.
One
thing
I
would
like
to
say
is
you
know,
I
think
if
you
go
to
the
the
the
figure
of
the
the
street
functionalities
for
motor
vehicles,
this
is
not
trying
to
reflect
necessarily
what
the
the
existing
conditions
are.
We
know
that
some
of
these
streets,
like
amory
street
boylston
street
you
know,
are
used
to
have
a
lot
of
sort
of
neighborhood
cut
through
traffic.
A
You
know
this
is
more
of
an
aspirational
sort
of
vision,
of
how
we
think
the
neighborhood
network
should
look
right.
We
really
want
to
keep
most
of
the
through
traffic
on
the
main
arteries
of
washington
and
columbus
avenue
and
then
make
design
tweaks
that
really
reinforce
these
other
streets
as
being
more
appropriate
for
yeah
for
accessing
homes
and
schools
and
creating
better
conditions
for
walking
and
biking
right.
That's
not
to
say
that
that
we're,
as
meredith
said
going
to
be
preventing
vehicle
access
of
any
kind
on.
A
You
know
on
particular
streets.
You
know.
That's
not
really
part
of
the
proposal
at
this
point,
but
you
know
if
traffic
on
emory
street,
for
instance,
continues
to
you
know
if
that
continues
to
be
a
like
a
significant
cut
through
street.
We
want
to
at
least
make
sure
that
you
know
the
designs
are
there,
so
that
that
traffic
is
moving
at
a
safe,
slow
speed
and
not
posing
closing
safety
conditions.
You
know
safety
challenges
to
other
users,
so
yeah.
I
think
that
was
it.
I
think
also.
A
We
had
a
few
questions
just
really
quickly
about
how
many
people
are
attending,
and
if
you
can
see
the
attendees,
we
can
see
it.
I
believe
you
should
be
able
to
as
well
on
your
control
panel
there's
an
attendees
tab.
We
have
22
people
connected
currently
so
and
yeah.
I
think
you
can
also
see
the
names
of
those
who
are
connected.
A
Yeah,
I
think
you
know
now
you
know
we'll
shut
up
and
we'd
like
to
hear
more
from
you
guys.
C
B
C
B
B
All
right
it
looks
like
guy,
you
are
also
self-muted.
So
if
you
would
still
like
to
chat,
you
will
have
to
amuse
yourself
as.
B
C
Do
have
one
what
what
is
your
capability
for
doing
these
things
in
multiple
languages,
I
mean
you're,
just
you,
you
do
in
a
a
multi-lingual
neighborhood
and
you're
only
doing
it
in
english.
Yes,.
A
A
Thank
you
for
that
and
I'll
just
sorry,
there's
a
little
bit
of
an
echo
now
I'll
just
say
I
don't
know
if
you
saw
earlier,
but
we
are
actually
hosting
this
exact
same
meeting
tomorrow
in
spanish
with
the
same
materials
the
presentations
translated
I'll,
be
presenting
it
in
spanish.
A
My
wife
is
colombia
and
I
lived
in
some
spanish-speaking
countries
for
several
years
and
worked
there.
So
you
know
I've
been
in
involved
in
some
other
projects
in
the
neighborhood
and
we
know
there's
a
really
important
and
significant
spanish-speaking
community
here
you
know
a
lot
of
the
small
business
owners
and
so
all
the
materials
that
we
presented
as
well
on
the
pop-up
were
translated
into
spanish
as
well
on
the
boards
that
we
had
in
person
and
all
the
materials
promoting
the
meetings,
flyers,
emails,
everything
that
we
sent
out.
A
You
know
we
really
try
very
hard
to
have
everything
you
know
well,
translated
and
available.
You
know
we
understand
that
also
that
certain
communities
are
harder
to
reach
virtually.
So
we
are,
you
know,
working
to
think
of
other
ways.
But
beyond
you
know
just
virtual
meetings.
You
know
we
we
want
to
continue
to
do
these
pop-ups
outdoors.
A
You
know
that
are
that
are
safe
right
now,
with
the
cova
trends,
I
think
it'll
be
a
little
while
before
we
can
and
going
into
the
winter
it'll
be
a
little
while
before
we
can
do
something
like
that
again
in
person,
but
yeah
we
are.
We
are
very
focused
on
on,
basically
allowing,
for
you
know,
equality
of
participation
in
in
any
of
the
languages
in
the
neighborhood,
english
and
spanish
being
the
ones
that
we've
really
focused
on
in
the
past.
A
If
you're
aware
of
other
language
needs
that
we
that
we
need
to
address
in
this
neighborhood,
you
know
we
can.
You
know
we
can
also
contract.
You
know
translation
services,
but
so
far
you
know,
in
my
experience
in
this
neighborhood
most
of
the
community
that
I've
engaged
with
that's
non-english
speaking
has
have
been
have
been
spanish
speakers.
F
Hi
everyone.
Do
you
hear
me?
F
Yes,
okay,
a
couple
questions,
I
confess
I
did
not
download
the
documents
and
I'm
not
seeing
the
detail
that
I
would
like
to,
but
looking
at
the
map,
that's
on
the
screen
shared
screen
now
southwest
corridor
to
franklin
park
is
a
strong
desire
line.
I
would
think
recreation
and
even
commuting.
I
think
people
like
to
go
through
a
green
route
if
they
can.
F
What
I
don't
know
here
is
street
names
and
where
the
entry
into
franklin
park
is.
But
since
I
think
this
is
a
big
picture
first
discussion,
if
you
could
think
in
terms
of
wayfinding
and
making
those
routes
obvious
and
maybe
even
show,
cross-sections
like
how
wide
are
they
where
what?
Where
is
their
parking
things
like
that,
and
also
this
the
ymca
and
businesses
speaking
for
biking
again,
even
if
columbus
doesn't
get
a
bike
lane?
If
you
want
people
to
bike
to
the
businesses,
it
would
be
good
to
offer
more
parking
for
bikes.
A
Thank
you,
sir.
That's
really
x1
feedback
and
you
know
I
think,
we'll
definitely
take
a
much
deeper
dive.
Looking
at
exactly
the
sort
of
things
you're
talking
about
cross
sections,
you
know
where,
where
they're
parking,
where
do
we
see
opportunities?
You
know
that
will
definitely
be
looked
at.
A
I
think
it's
a
it's
a
great
point
about
you
know
also
sort
of
highlighting
what
these
different
corridors
connect
to
which
you
know
is
very
like
a
really
fair
point-
and
I
you
know,
I
think,
as
we're
looking
at
this
project,
that
bike
parking
is
definitely
on
our
radar
as
well.
A
We
know
there
are
some
some
racks
in
the
in
the
neighborhood,
but
it's
it's
fairly
limited
truth
be
told
and
some
of
them
are
damaged,
and
so
so
that's
definitely
something
we'll
take
a
look
at
and
and
look
at
adding
bike
parking
to
serve
businesses
along
the
washington
and
columbus
corridors.
B
All
too
thank
you,
sarah
and
so
moving
back
up
to
the
top
and
again
going
down
alphabetical
order.
Next,
we
have
jacob.
G
Hear
you
yes
awesome
mike
thanks
so
much
for
for
the
the
presentation
and
for
making
this
process
so
accessible
presenting
in
different
ways.
G
My
comment
actually
jumps
right
off
from
sarah's,
which
is
that
in
thinking
about
the
southwest
corridor
to
franklin
park,
connection
one-way
streets
are
a
big
issue
around
that,
and
that's
obvious.
I
I
assume
you're
headed
in
that
direction.
G
But
there
are
some
things
like
school
streets,
one
one
way
towards
the
park,
and
so,
if
you
want
to
get
back
from
the
park
down
to
the
southwest
corridor,
there's
actually
not
a
way
to
do
it
going
on
a
residential
street
in
the
in
the
right
in
the
right
direction
when
without
crossing
columbus
and
then
there's
not
really
a
way
to
get
back
across
columbus
safely.
G
So
thinking
about
how
to
do
that
and
whether
there's
against
traffic
bike
lanes
that
could
be
created
on
school
street
or
or
other
other
ways
to
do
that
so
that
to
to
account
for
the
the
one-way
street
patterns,
I
think
I
think
will
will
be
important.
G
Another
example
of
that
is
on
the
part
of
atherton
street
that
connects
to
to
to
the
southwest
corridor
on
land
martine,
which
is
one
way
towards
the
southwest
corridor,
but
that's
the
main
sort
of
cut
through
into
the
neighborhood.
So
people
often
go
against
traffic
on
their
bikes.
You
know
just
on
the
street
or
on
the
sidewalk,
which
isn't
all
that
safe
and
so
so
overlaying
this
issue
of
one-way
street
directions
and
how
to
accommodate
bikes
in
that
environment.
I
think,
will
be
important
thanks.
A
Thank
you
jacob.
That's
that's
really
insightful
feedback
as
well
and
and
we're
very
also
keenly
aware
of,
like
the
challenges
of
the
one-way
street
network
creates
for
connectivity.
A
So
I
think
some
of
the
things
you've
just
listed
are
you
know
in
our
early
thinking
and
early
conversations
with
the
neighborhood
you're,
not
the
first
person
to
bring
that
up
in
the
pop-up
that
also
came
up
as
well
school
street.
Specifically,
you
know
the
challenge
of
getting
from
franklin
park.
You
know
westbound
towards
you
know,
towards
the
southwest
corridor
and
also
getting
from
the
southwest
corridor
into
evilson
square
those
those
have
been
mentioned
by
several
people,
so
yeah.
A
H
H
Unfortunately,
I'm
rapidly
aging
out
of
the
bike
commuting
cohort,
but
I
still
try
and
it's
really
challenging,
particularly
as
you
know,
we
get
older
to
try
to
navigate
the
crowded
streets
with
the
buses
and
the
cars
and
no
bike
lanes.
So
I
found
it
interesting.
My
interpretation
of
what
you're
saying
here
is
that
you're
not
going
to
prioritize
washington
street
or
columbus
as
bike
commuting
corridors.
H
Now
I
can
understand
a
little
bit
about
columbus
because
you
know
it
kind
of
converges
with
the
southwest
corridor
towards
jackson
square,
although
if
you're
coming
in
from
dorchester
or
matapan
or
anywhere
on
the
blue
hill
avenue
side
of
things,
you
know
it's
like
you
can't
get
there
from
here
and
that's
been
a
problem
in
our
neighborhoods
in
boston
for
the
35
years,
I've
lived
here.
These
street
patterns
tend
to
divide
neighborhoods,
sometimes
as
much
as
you
think,
they're
connecting
them.
H
So
what
I'd
like
to
be
able
to
do
is
ride
from
my
home
in
jamaica,
plain
to
nubian
square
and
back,
and
the
quickest
easiest
way
to
do
that
is
on
washington
street,
except
that
it's
terribly
unsafe
place
to
ride
a
bicycle
and
the
alternatives
along
walnut,
and
then
you
know
wiggling
through
and
then
going
down.
Warren
street
have
their
own
set
of
challenges
that
make
them
less
attractive
as
well.
So
your
proposal
doesn't
solve
that
problem.
It
actually
reinforces
it.
A
Yeah
leslie,
thank
you
for
that
those
comments.
You
know
that
they're
that's
fantastic
feedback
and
we
know
that
the
conditions
on
washington
street
are
frankly
appalling
for
biking
in
many
places,
and
you
know,
I
think
the
reason
that
that
we
haven't
really
highlighted
washington
street
as
a
bike
priority
corridor
for
this
particular
project
is
because
the
focus
of
this
is
really
on
the
square
and
sort
of
the
you
know
the
crosstown
neighborhood
connections
and
we
definitely
do
want
to
take
a
look
at
washington
street.
You
know
we're
getting
a
lot
of.
A
I
think.
That's
you
know
the
next
really
major
corridor
that
we
need
to
take
to
take
a
look
at
in
jamaica,
plain
and
figure
out.
You
know
what
the
future
of
the
street
is
going
to
be,
because
today
it's
generally
one
lane
of
traffic
in
each
direction
and
parking
on
both
sides,
and
it's
really
hard
to
do
anything
better
without
you
know
a
significant
trade-off,
which
I
think
is
something
that
that
we
need
to
have
those
discussions
about
and
have
and
figure
out.
A
You
know
what
the
future
of
this
corridor
will
be.
You
know
basically
all
the
way
from
forest
hills
to
nubian
square.
You
know,
I
think,
just
the
what
I'm
trying
to
get
at
essentially
is,
I
think,
that's
a
much
sort
of
larger
corridor
project
in
and
of
itself.
A
A
You
know,
I
think
it's
definitely
something
we
want
to
look
at,
but
you
know,
I
think
we
want
to
make
sure
that
there's
actually
like
a
larger
network,
that
it's
sort
of
connecting
into
as
well,
and
I
think
that's
kind
of
the
challenge
you
know
trying
to
address
washington
street
in
its
entirety
to
nubian
square
is
kind
of
beyond
the
scope
of
this
single
project,
but
it
is
actually
something
that
really
has
very
much
been
on
our
radar.
A
You
know
in
the
it's
one
of
the
core
projects
in
that
came
from
the
jp
rocks
transportation
action
plan,
but
the
recommendations
were
a
little
bit
fuzzy.
They
were
essentially
like
make
washington
street
better.
You
know,
but
didn't
get
into
what
those
tough
trade-offs
will
be.
So
you
know,
I
think,
probably
in
the
next
year
or
so
is
when
we're
going
to
start.
You
know
getting
together
resources
from
the
city
to
start
looking
at
washington
street
as
a
corridor
and
thinking
about
the
vision
of
washington
street
longer
term.
A
You
know
also,
you
know
really
important
context-
is
there's
a
lot
of
development
activity
happening
along
portions
of
washington
street
right
and
you
know
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
planning
for
for
a
future
that,
let's
you
know
that
that's
providing
for
good,
active
transportation,
accommodations
too.
So
you
know
I
I
know
that's
probably
a
somewhat
unsatisfying
answer
in
some
ways,
but
but
that's
sort
of
the
full
context
did
that
make
sense.
H
Yes,
sorry,
it
does
make
sense
william,
because
it's
a
hard
problem
to
solve.
H
I
just
want
to
emphasize
that
eggleston
square
is
the
worst
part
of
the
washington
street
corridor
and
they
have
tried
to
put
a
little
bit
of
bike
path
on
the
forest
hills
section
of
forest
hills
and
once
you
get
past
like
the
walgreens
or
you
know
you
get
towards
the
mosque,
washington
street
becomes
wider
and
a
little
easier
to
navigate
on
a
bicycle.
So
a
really
awful
part
is
the
jamaica
plain
side
of
eggleston
square
on
washington
street,
the
commercial
section
and.
A
Yeah
that
that
that's
really
great
feedback
and,
like
I
said
we're
not
you,
know
we're
not
looking
to
preclude
anything
that
could
happen
here
in
the
future
for
bikes
and
we're
also,
you
know,
I
think,
open
to
looking
at
potential
bike
enhancements.
You
know
within
the
project
scope
I
think
they're,
just
I'm
just
trying
to
like
also
manage
the
expectations
that
there
will
need
to
be
a
limit
to
how
far
we
could
take
that,
because
you
know
it
just
requires
lots
of
community
conversations
and
lots
of
design
work.
H
Connections
across
the
neighborhoods,
rather
than
you
know,
all
this
facilitating
the
micro
neighborhood
is
just
lovely,
but
boston's
problem
has
always
been
barriers
across
neighborhoods
and
eggleston
square,
which
is
supposed
to
be
one
of
these
hybrid.
You
know
liminal
neighborhoods,
that
tr
that
traverses
neighborhoods
is
actually
not
set
up
well
for
it,
and
we.
D
A
I
H
A
Yeah,
I
think
those
are
fantastic.
That's
fantastic
feedback
and
I
completely
agree
that
streets
like
columbus
and
washington
street
are
really
dividing
lines
rather
than
you
know,
connections
across
neighborhoods
in
many
ways.
So
you
know,
I
think,
obviously
this
this
project
I
agree
with.
You
is
a
great
platform
for
for
having
those
conversations
and
looking
at
opportunities
for
improvement.
You
know
I.
A
I
haven't
really
heard
a
lot
of
conversation
about
that,
but
I
think
with
all
the
development
that's
occurring
along
washington
street,
it's
prompting
a
lot
of
thought
about
what
the
future
of
the
corridor
is
going
to
be,
and
you
know
we
are
like
I
said
looking
this
year,
the
bpda
and
btd
to
to
start
doing
a
well
like
next
year.
Actually
so
in
2021,
you
know
starting
to
think
about.
A
You
know
what
the
vision
of
the
corridor
can
be
and-
and
you
know
I
think,
you're
articulating
something
really
important,
which
is
that
connection?
All
the
way
up
to
newbie
square,
which
frankly,
probably
needs
to
be
a
part
of
that
conversation
from
the
outset
right
as
we're
thinking
about
the
portion
south
of
englishman.
A
So
you
know
all
really
great
feedback,
and
I
hope
we
have
an
opportunity
to
keep
talking
about
it,
and
you
know
thinking
about
what
the
solutions
improvements
in
this
portion
of
this
part
of
the
world
could
look
like,
but
also
you
know,
starting
those
conversations
that
could
also,
I
hope,
sort
of
be
the
seed
for
more
of
a
corridor
vision
that,
frankly,
I
would
love
to
work
on.
You
know.
B
B
E
Okay,
I
think
I'm
unmuted
now
hi
everybody
good
evening,
I'm
sarah
kilroy,
I'm
the
executive
director
of
the
friends
of
the
ralphiel
hernandez
school,
and
I
really
appreciate
all
of
you
taking
the
time
to
put
this
together
and
and
carolyn
for
reaching
out
to
us
and
making
sure
that
we
knew
this
was
happening.
E
E
They
they
planned
and
they
worked
with
a
couple
of
the
educators
at
our
school
and
we
went
and
did
research
and
explored
playgrounds,
and
we
came
up
with
the
plan
of
the
beautiful
playground
that
you
see
now,
and
so
my
question
to
you
all
is
given
the
location
of
this
development
and
renewal
and
the
fact
that
we
have
a
couple
of
schools
in
our
neighborhood
right
there.
How
much
have
you
tried
to
reach
out
and
think
about
how
to
engage
our
young
people
in
this
in
this
process?.
A
Yeah
that
that's
a
fantastic
question,
sarah,
so
we're.
Actually,
you
know
very
early
on.
We
started
some
conversations
with
with
bikes,
not
bombs,
which
is
a
non-profit
in
the
neighborhood
that
you
might
be
familiar
with
they're
on
boylston
street,
and
so
we're
we're
actually
actively
working
with
them
to
try
to
hire
a
neighborhood
youth
who
would
help
out
with
with
some
of
this
community
process
and
the
engagement
side
of
the
project
and
and
separately.
A
I
believe
that
the
boston
cyclists
union
is
taking
their
own
initiative
to
try
to
hire.
A
I
think
up
to
three
neighborhood
youths
as
well
to
engage
in
the
project
and-
and
I
mean
I
think
I
think
you
also
just
you
know-
hit
on
a
super
important
point,
which
is
the
density
of
schools
that
are
in
this
area
and
the
really
like
deficient
conditions
on
school
street
today
for
streets
that
have
families
and
kids,
and
you
know,
I
think,
that's
something
that
we
definitely
you
know
want
to
to
have
be
a
core
part
of
this
project
is
improving
those
conditions,
and
so
I
I
think
we
also
need
to
be
on
just
you
know,
engaging
with
with
youth.
A
I
think
we
also
have
to
have
good
engagement
with
the
schools
themselves,
and
I
know
things
are
strange
right
now,
but
in
normal
times
these
schools
have
operational
needs
as
well.
That
we'll
need
to
understand
really
well
too,
before
we
start
making
significant
changes
to
any
of
these
streets.
So
you
know,
I
think,
we'd
be
very
open
to
you
know
to
options
that
you
know
that
engage
youth.
A
You
know
if
there
are
ways
that
we
can
safely
involve
them,
and
you
know
and
doing
things
like
you
know,
maybe
like
helping
out
with
you
know,
gathering
data
or
something
like
that.
You
know,
like
speaking
of
like
ways
that
they
could
be
engaged.
You
know
I'm
I'm
very
open
to
talking
about
that
and
seeing,
if
those
are,
you
know
their
options
that
we
can
explore.
You
know
safely
to
engage
neighborhood
youth.
A
I
mean,
I
think,
that's
you
know,
I'd
be
really
interested
in
that
and-
and
I
like,
I
said-
I
also
think
you
know
it's
it's
on
our
to-do
list
very
early
on
in
the
project
to
start
having
also
sort
of
more
one-on-one
conversations
with
all
the
schools
within
the
study
area
to
understand
what
their
operational
needs
are.
A
You
know
throughout
you
know
the
day
and
the
year
and
making
sure
that
that
yeah
everything
is
still
functional
for
the
schools,
but
that
we're
also
able
to
to
potentially
make
some
changes
to
these
streets
for
for
safety
improvements.
So
I
hope
that
answers
the
question.
B
And
perfect
thanks
buddy
and
then
I
know
this
is
sort
of
going
a
little
bit
backwards
to
the
earlier
part
of
the
presentation.
But
we
anticipate
having
two
more
rounds
of
public
engagement
at
different
points
in
this
project.
So
next
would
be
spring
of
2021,
and
you
know
they
may
take
similar
forms
to
this.
B
With
you
know,
with
actual
public
meetings
and
hopefully
some
more
in-person
pop-ups
and
we're
we're
open
to
a
conversation
about
how
you
know
we
can,
I
guess,
tweak
or
modify
that
plan
for
those
next
rounds
of
public
engagement
to
more
actively
include
the
feedback
of
of
the
kids.
Who
are
you
know,
walking
biking
up
school
street
to
get
to
school
and
with
that
looks
like
eliza
has
her
hand
up,
so
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
meet
her.
J
I
can
hear
me
yes,
yes,
so
I
just
wanted
to
follow
up
after
william
shouted
out
the
boston,
cyclists
union,
I'm
the
director
of
organizing
at
the
boston,
cyclists
union,
I'm
a
jp
resident
former
eggleston
square
resident,
but
currently
near
forest
hills
and
sarah.
J
I
would
love
to
connect
and
with
anyone
else
who
has
connections
to
the
schools.
Like
william
mentioned,
we
are
hiring
three
young
people
from
the
neighborhood
sarah,
I
don't
know
if
my
brother
ben
proud
was
a
fifth
grade
teacher
at
the
hernandez
for
12
or
13
years,
and
so
he's
connected
me
to
a
bunch
of
hernandez
graduates
and
some
recent
students
as
well
to
work
with
them.
J
I
would
love
to
connect
with
more
students
and
figure
out
a
way
to
connect
with
all
the
schools
in
the
neighborhood
and
really
be
hearing
the
youth
voice,
and
I
know
the
city
would
as
well
and
we're
working
closely
with
the
city
to
do
that
as
well.
If
there's
projects
that
teachers
would
want
to
do
on
on
the
topic
with
their
students
or
working
with
us
to
reach
out
to
the
neighborhood
so
yeah,
I
just
want
to
say
really
appreciate
that
comment
and
put
out
myself
as
a
resource.
J
Also,
if
you're
interested
to
follow
up
more
around
that
work,
the
boston,
cyclists
union
our
office
is
in
roxbury
crossing
and
we
have
a
lot
of
members
in
jamaica,
plain
and
roxbury.
So
this
project
is
really
important
to
us
and
we're
working
with
bikes,
not
bombs,
as
well
as
a
close
partner
on
it
to
make
the
area
better
for
walking
and
biking
and
transit
users.
J
J
K
Thank
you.
I
had
a
quick
question
about.
If
there
were,
you
know
we're
looking
at
opportunities
to
increase
any
public
space.
That's
currently
in
the
roadway,
so
you
know
one
example
might
be
around.
You
know
on
walnut
park,
there's
a
unique
park
in
the
kind
of
an
island
in
the
street
on
a
one-way
street
that
has
two-way
around
the
island.
K
So
I'm
you
know,
I'm
curious
if
y'all
looked
at
that
and
also
where
bray
street
hits
washington,
which
is
super
wide.
I
know
in
this
area.
Parking
is
a
major
concern,
but
I
was
curious
if
that
was
part
of
your
scope.
A
Yeah
yeah,
you
know
thank
you
for,
for
bringing
that
up.
You
know,
I
think
we
did
touch
on
it
briefly,
sort
of
some
of
the
issues
around
activating
the
public
space
and
connecting
the
public
spaces,
because
that
was
something
that
came
up
in
a
lot
of
the
earlier
conversations
as
well
about
how
there
are
these
little
sort
of
moments
and
spaces.
A
In
the
neighborhood,
like
the
robert
lawson
park,
the
peace
garden,
the
the
urban
edge
parcel.
That's
at,
I
want
to
say
dixwell
in
columbus,
and
you
know
the
sort
of
little
medium
space
you're
mentioning
there
as
well
as
praise
street.
You
know
those
are
all
great
ideas,
so
bray
street
is
actually
there
is,
was
a
project
that
came
out
of
the
jp
rock's
transportation
action
plan
that
proposed
closing
one
of
the
legs
of
gray
street.
Tightening
that
up
and
doing
you
know
doing
something
with
that
space.
A
So
I
think
that's
something
that
we
can
can
definitely
explore,
and
I
think
one
of
the
goals
really
is
you
know
through
wayfinding
and
creating
better
pedestrian
and
bike
accommodations
as
well
sort
of
tying
together
this
little
network
of
spaces,
so
that
people
are
kind
of
aware
of
them,
and
you
know
that
they
they're
more
and
sort
of
knit
together.
If
that
makes
sense,
you
know
again,
we
haven't
we're,
not
prescribing
anything
specifically
at
this
point
and
the
focus
is
it's
more
of
a
transportation
project.
A
You
know
looking
at
that
safety
improvements,
but
but
to
the
extent
that
we
can,
you
know,
also
make
public
space
improvements
for
the
neighborhood
yeah.
I
think
we're
very
interested
in
in
exploring
that
too.
B
All
right
headed
down
the
list,
it
looks
like
we
don't
have
any
other
hands
raised
immediately
and
we've
got
about
15
minutes
left.
So
perhaps
now
we
can
turn
our
attention
to
any
of
the
written
questions
that
we
haven't
addressed.
B
Yet
my
colleague
megan
is
going
to
to
unmute
and
read
any
that
we've
missed
out
to
us,
but
before
she
does
that
I'll
go
ahead
and
a
note
just
to
respond
to,
I
think,
eliza's
question
will
have
a
sort
of
an
excel
report
of
all
the
questions
that
we've
received
following
this
meeting,
that
we'll
export
and
then
actually
summarizing
to
like
a
a
more
succinct,
email
or
pdf
document
that
we
can
share
with
you
all
following
the
meeting.
B
So
it
will
be
shared
via
email
and
then
we'll
also
likely
post
it
to
the
project
website
to
go
along
with
the
the
recording
of
tonight's
presentation.
So
the
questions
that
maybe
not
in
every
with
every
exact
sentence,
but
the
questions
will
be
themed,
summarized
responded
to
and
then
shared
digitally.
Following
this
meeting.
L
Yes,
so
yeah
we've
gotten
a
lot
of
great
comments
in
this
question
chat
and
I
think
one
thing
that
we
haven't
addressed
yet
is
looking
at
the
population
groups
in
the
neighborhood
that
might
be
most
affected
by
these
unsafe
pedestrian
conditions
and
bicycle
facilities.
L
So
someone
was
asking
you
know
who
these
people
might
be
and,
and
perhaps
if
we
know
what
percentage
of
the
population
in
the
study
area
might
have
disabilities
that
require
better
access
to
these
pedestrian
facilities.
A
Yeah
that
that's
a
fantastic,
a
fantastic
question
and
honestly
it's
something
that
we
need
to
do
more
work
on
in
our
existing
conditions
review.
You
know
digging
a
little
bit
deeper.
I
mean
demographic
information
is
something
that
that
we
should
be
able
to
to
find,
and
you
know
I'm
I'm
fairly
familiar
with
the
neighborhood
having
worked
on
it
and
other
projects.
A
So
I
know
sort
of
a
specific
locations,
like
you
know,
like
the
the
senior
housing,
that's
on
amory
street
and
sort
of
the
the
connection
between
that
housing
and
the
square
via
atherton
street,
which
is
not
always
great
and
narrow
and
has
obstructions
in
the
sidewalk,
and
you
know
so
some
of
those
issues
you
know
we're
we're
aware
of,
but
but
I
think,
you're
exactly
right.
A
That's
you
know,
there's
there's
a
not
coincidental
overlap
between
who
the
vulnerable
road
users
are,
and
you
know
what
the
and
the
populations,
in
many
cases
that
call
this
neighborhood
home
right
and
so
now
I
think,
having
a
better
understanding
of
that
is,
is
really
important,
and
you
know
to
the
extent
that
we
can
find
more
data
and
more
information
about
that.
I
think
it's
definitely
something
that
that
we
should
dig
into
a
little
bit
deeper
and
see
what
we
can,
what
we
can
find
on
that.
B
And,
and
to
build
on
that
william
noted,
there's
more
digging,
we
can
do
and
we're
happy
to
do
it.
We
are
still
in
the
sort
of
in
the
midst
of
the
needs
assessment
process.
B
This
community
engagement
process
itself
is
sort
of
being
incorporated
as
another
data
point
into
the
larger
needs
assessment,
and
so
that
that
final
document
that
will
inform
the
next
phases
of
the
project
will
again
include
the
feedback
that
we've
been
receiving
through
this
and
through
that
of
the
pop-up
meetings
and
we're
we're
we're
also
still
actively
gathering
different
data
sources.
So
this
is
a
super
suggestion
and
we'll
certainly
keep
in
mind,
as
as
we
wrap
up
that
document
later
this
year,.
L
Another
question
that
just
came
in
was
asking:
if
we're
looking
at
retail
parking
and
then
pick
up
and
delivery
parking
as
well.
A
Yeah,
that's
a
really
good
question
because
I
think
obviously
parking
will
be
a
very
sensitive
issue
on
all
these
streets.
So
we
have
to
think
carefully
and
understand
sort
of
what
it's
being
used
for
by
who
and
how
well
is
it
being
used
right?
So
you
know
right
now:
not
all
the
parking
is
is
regulated
in
the
study
area
and
I
think
for
much
of
the
business
areas
like
two-hour
parking.
You
know
no
meters
or
anything
like
that.
A
So
I
mean
one
thing
that
I'll
say
is
that
we've
had
a
really
great
sort
of
working
relationship
with
the
edison
square
main
streets
and
there's
also
a
little
group
of
the
spanish-speaking
merchants
like
that
are
the
like.
The
commercial
leaders
of
eggleston
is
what
they're
called
that
that
we
did
some
had
some
conversations
with
around
the
the
columbus
ave
project.
A
So
you
know,
I
think,
we're
very
interested
in
in
looking
at
and
not
just
interested,
and
I
think
is
going
to
be
a
critical
part
of
the
project
to
look
at
curb
use
regulations.
And
how
can
we
make
those
work
better
right
so
that
loading
needs
are
happening
so
that
the
businesses
are?
You
know
we're
supporting
these
small.
In
many
cases,
immigrant
run
businesses
that
you
know
create
the
amazing
and
you
know,
really
sort
of
vibrant
special
unique
character
of
this
neighborhood.
A
But
you
know
there
might
be
opportunities
that,
through
better
parking
regulations,
you
know
we
can
actually
make
it
work
a
lot
better
and
and
even
potentially
unlock
some
space
on
the
street
that
we
could
use
for
safety
improvements,
as
you
know,
in
the
same
time,
so
I
think,
looking
at
both
washington
and
columbus
and
the
commercial
sort
of
uses
and
parking
is
going
to
be
really
important.
L
Other
than
that,
we
have
discussed
a
lot
of
the
other
comments
that
have
come
in
and
I
don't
see
any
other
outstanding
questions
here.
F
Hi,
if
we
have
another
minute,
it
occurred
to
me
that
a
couple
of
the
slides
or
the
questions
talked
about
it
being
uncomfortable
or
unsafe.
Because
of
speeding,
are
you
entertaining
any
kind
of
traffic
calming
and
if
so,
what
and
then
one
other?
If
I
can
say
it,
while
I
remember
in
your
look
at
parking,
I'm
always
surprised.
F
My
eyes
were
opened
in
jp
that
initially
center
south
main
streets
did
a
survey
like
many
years
ago
now
and
found
that
a
lot
of
the
parking
was
actually
being
used
by
employees,
and
so
it
wasn't
benefiting
business
visitors
as
much
as
one
might
think
and
wonder
if
you
plan
to
look
at
that.
A
Yeah,
that's
a
great
point
and
I've
and
I've
heard
actually
from
from
denise
delgado
from
the
edelston
main
streets
that
parking
for
employees
and
business
owners
is
a
really
big
issue
in
the
neighborhood
as
well.
I
think
right
now,
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
the
ymca
is
actually
letting
a
lot
of
the
businesses.
Have
their
employees
parked
there
in
that
lot,
that's
there
at
the
ymca,
but
it's
been
an
issue
because
a
lot
of
the
neighbor,
the
business
owners
of
these
small
businesses
in
many
cases,
have
been.
A
You
know,
priced
out
of
the
neighborhood
and
live
further
away
and
drive
in.
So
I
think
trying
to
find
solutions
for
that
is
going
to
be
really
important.
You
know
I'll
note.
There
are
two
municipal
lots
right
by
the
square
as
well,
one
on
the
north
side
of
eggleston
square,
one
on
the
south
side,
both
off
of
washington
street
and
I
think,
looking
at
those
assets
because
they
are
municipal
assets
and
how
we
might
be
able
to
use
those
better.
A
I
think
that's
going
to
be
part
of
this
as
well,
and
then
addressing
the
comments
about
or
the
question
about,
traffic
calming
and
speeds.
You
know,
I
think,
there's
really
two
two
factors
that
we
really
have
to
look
at
to
make
streets
comfortable
for
people
biking
and
it's
both
volumes
and
speeds
right.
So
if
you're
biking
on
streets
that
have
high
volumes
without
separation,
that's
very
uncomfortable
if
you're
biking
on
streets
that
even
have
low
volumes
but
high
occasional
speeds,
that's
really
dangerous
and
uncomfortable
too
right.
A
So
I
think
you
know
we'll
be
looking
at
depending
on
the
context
of
each
street.
You
know
ways
that
we
can
can
manage
both.
Thank
you.
That's
that's
a
perfect
slide.
You
know
ways
that
we
can
manage
both
speed
and
volume
right.
So
for
some
of
these
neighborhood
streets
there
might
be
changes.
We
could
make
to
really
discourage
cut
through
traffic
and
reduce
volumes
as
well
as
speeds.
A
You
know
for
streets
like
washington
street
that
are
always
going
to
have
to
carry
you
know.
Some
significant
and
columbus
half
will
carry
some
significant
amount
of
regional
traffic.
You
know,
I
think
there
are
other
measures
there
that
we
could
look
at
related
to
you
know
creating
safer
speeds.
You
know,
through
street
design,
right
creating
cues,
that
that
help
force
drivers
essentially
to
slow
down
to
safe
speeds
that
don't
endanger
pedestrians
and
cyclists.
You
know
it.
A
It
is
a
challenge
on
these
streets
frankly,
but
but
I
think,
yeah
traffic
coming
something
we'll
be
looking
at
at
you
know
in
various
forms
and
for
various
means
on
you
know
throughout
the
the
study
area.
A
Does
that
answer
the
question
or
any?
Thank
you.
A
Okay,
oh
yes,
and
thank
you
for
showing
this
last
slide
again
I'll
just
highlight
on
this
slide
once
again,
there's
the
project
web
page.
I
know
it's
a
lot:
boston.gov
departments,
transportation,
eggleston
square
redesign.
A
If
you
go
to
the
boston,
gov
webpage
and
you
go
to
the
transportation
page,
there's
also
a
section
that
has
all
the
projects
that
are,
you
know,
sort
of
actively
in
planning
in
the
city
that
the
transportation
department's
working
on.
So
it's
listed
there
as
well,
and
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
if
you
just
you
know,
use
your
preferred
search
browser
google,
yahoo,
whatever
and
put
in
eccleston
square
redesign.
A
I
believe
it's
the
first
page
that
should
come
up
and
again
there's
my
contact
information,
my
email
so
so
feel
free
to
to
reach
out
to
me.
If
you
have,
you
know
feedback
about,
you
know
the
meeting
about
the
content
of
the
meeting.
You
know
question
that
occurs
to
you
later.
We're
always
happy
to
hear,
hear
that
and
you
know,
get
testimony
testimonials
from
people
who
live
in
the
neighborhood
and
use
the
neighborhood.
A
You
know
that's
really
helpful
for
us
in
understanding
where
we
need
to
focus
our
attention
and
also,
in
kind
of
you
know,
creating
a
like
a
compelling
case
for
the
broader
sort
of
community
about.
You
know
why
we
need
these
projects,
so
please,
you
know,
feel
free
to
reach
out.
I
encourage
you
to
reach
out
and
yeah
and
sign
up
for
the
the
project's
mailing
list
as
well.
A
If
you
haven't
already,
you
know,
I
think,
after
this
meeting,
hopefully
we'll
start
to
to
grow
that
list
and
and
be
able
to
use
that
as
a
resource
for
for
sharing
updates
on
the
project
as
it
moves
along.
B
And
in
case
you
don't
want
to
you,
know,
type
out
this
long
hyperlink,
we'll
be
sending
a
follow-up
email
to
everybody
who
attended
the
presentation.
You
should
receive
it
tomorrow.
Just
thanking
you
all
for
attending,
including
a
link
to
the
project
webpage
and
a
link
to
register
for
our
mailing
list.
K
C
I
It
just
it
just
occurred
to
me-
and
maybe
you
mentioned
this
before,
but
with
it
so
amory
street
will
get
kind
of
an
extra
special
look
as
all
the
housing
comes
in
down
there
and
the
traffic.
It
won't
be
immediate,
but.
A
Yeah
yeah,
I
think
that's
that's
a
great
point.
You
know,
I
think
a
lot
of
the
development
is
happening
closer
to
the
sort
of
the
jackson
square,
universe
right,
but
obviously
it's
all
connected
and
and
really
important,
and
I
think
if
you
know
if,
if
measures.
I
A
Taken
proactively
right,
there's,
obviously
the
danger
that
that
its
use
as
a
cut-through
street
becomes
even
more
sort
of
formalized
and
creates
more
issues
right,
and
we
know
that
that's
a
real
concern,
so
I
think,
looking
at
amory
street
is
going
to
be.
You
know
really
important
part
of
this
project
as
well,
because
it
also
sort
of
you
know
connects
it's
it's
a
one
of
the
streets.
That's
not
washington
street!
That
sort
of
connects
together
a
lot
of
the
other
neighborhood
streets
north
to
south
right.
A
So
I
think,
for
multiple
reasons:
it's
a
street
that
we
really
need
to
take
a
close
look
at
and
and
find
ways
that
are.
You
know
acceptable
to
the
community
to
to
make
that
to
make
that
better.
A
And
you
know,
and
I'll
just
say
you
know,
I
wasn't
involved
in
a
lot
of
the
review
of
those
those
initial
projects,
development
projects
that
have
been
approved
that
are
going
in
around
jackson
square,
but
future
projects,
I'm
also
the
planner
who
you
know,
works
with
the
bbda
on
project
review
in
this
neighborhood.
A
So
that's
very
helpful
as
well
for
making
sure
that
any
new
development
is
coordinated
and
is
thinking
about
what
this
the
city's
goals
are
for
these
for
these
streets
and
wherever
possible,
they're,
also
helping
us
to
make
improvements
to
these
streets.
So.
A
All
right
going
once
going
twice
cool.
Well,
you
know
hearing
no
further
questions
again.
We
really
appreciate
you
taking
time
out
of
your
schedules.
A
We
know
there's
a
lot
going
on
in
the
world
right
now
and
the
fact
that
you
made
some
time
to
talk
about
this
project
and
and
changes
in
this
neighborhood.
It's
very
very
much
appreciated
by
us
and
you
know
a
lot
of
great
feedback,
and
you
know
we
hope
you'll
be
engaged
in
the
project
sort
of
throughout
its
its
lifespan
and
will
continue
to
help
to
give
us.
You
know
really
good
insightful
feedback.
That's
gonna
help
make
this
a
better
project.
A
So
so
I
want
to
say
thank
you
again
and
I'm
going
to
meredith.
Unless
you
have
anything
else,
I
think
we
can.
We
can
close
the
meeting.
