Description
The City of Boston held this meeting to provide an update on the Blue Hill Avenue Transportation Action Plan project. During the meeting, we presented our engagement team, including City staff and community-based engagement consultants. Then, we talked about the work we have done thus far. Afterwards, we responded to a commonly asked question - "How can the City enforce parking?" - and heard from the team at the Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) on their work with us to conduct a pilot parking study near the intersection of Blue Hill Avenue and Harvard Street to better inform this process. Finally, we had time for discussion.
A
A
Recordings
of
our
past
monthly
Zoom
meetings
and
other
project
materials
can
always
be
found
on
our
website.
That
website
is
boston.gov,
Blue
Hill
Avenue.
We
have
the
slides.
We
have
the
recording
of
their
project
materials.
A
We
also
now
have
recordings
audio
recordings
of
the
interpreted
channels
if
you
would
ever
like
access
to
the
interpretation
of
this
meeting
in
Spanish
or
Haitian
cradle
next
slide,
please.
A
So
as
a
refresher.
We
always
like
to
start
with
the
project
goals.
Our
number
one
goal
for
this
project
is
to
improve
pedestrian
safety
along
Blue
Hill
Avenue,
we've
heard
from
folks
across
the
board
that
they
want
to
see
better,
sidewalks,
better
crosswalks,
just
a
better
environment
for
people
walking
along
Blue
Hill
Avenue.
A
A
Next
slide,
please,
for
this
meeting
we
have
a
couple
of
goals,
as
always
we'll
talk
in
case.
There
are
new
people
about
where
this
project
came
from,
who
is
involved
and
the
different
type
of
process
we're
trying
to
achieve
through
the
Blue
Hill
Avenue
transportation
action
plan
engagement
strategy,
we'll
provide
updates
about
the
work
that
we're
doing
both
in
terms
of
planning
studies
and
engagement
activities.
B
Thank
you
Kirsty.
So,
if
you've
been
in
a
meeting
with
us
before,
you've
heard
me,
we
just
like
to
set
some
ground
rules,
because
Transportation,
Planning
and
planning
in
general
can
be
a
contentious
conversation
with
the
drastic
changes
that
will
be
occurring.
So
we
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
respectful
in
this
space
that
we
as
consultants
and
the
city
are
respectful
to
the
community,
but
also
that
community
members
are
respectful
to
each
other
in
the
chat
everyone's
coming
from
a
different
place
to
this
meeting.
B
Our
second
rule
is
to
use
I
statements
just
talking
from
your
own
experience
and
if
you
are
representing
a
neighborhood
association
or
a
group,
just
please
share
when
you're
speaking,
who
you're
representing
our
third,
is
to
step
up
and
step
back.
So
this
is
something
we
use
with
youth
Step
Up.
B
If
you
feel
that
there
is
something
that
you
want
to
share-
and
you
have
not
spoken
and
if
you
are
someone
who
has
been
heard
in
the
meeting,
if
you
could
just
take
a
step
back
to
allow
other
people
to
share
their
thoughts,
opinions
and
experiences-
and
the
fourth
is
we
just
want
to
make-
let
you
know
that
we
are
very
intentional
about
keeping
time
at
the
end
of
this
meeting
so
that
there
can
be
discussion
and
there
can
be
q.
A
so
just
wanted
to
raise
that.
Thank
you.
Kirsty.
A
Thank
you
Chavela
next
slide,
please
great
so
for
tonight's
agenda,
we'll
start
with
meeting
the
team,
the
project
overview
and
going
over
those
public
commitments
again
today
for
our
responding
to
FAQs
we're
going
to
talk
about
parking.
So
in
the
last
meeting
we
asked
you
all
a
poll
question
about
what
your
top
concerns
are
around
parking.
A
We've
got
a
couple
of
topics
on
that
today,
including
this
is
actually
we
forgot
to
update
this
slide,
but
we'll
have
some
project
updates
from
our
partners
at
the
metropolitan
area,
planning
Council,
who
are
going
to
help
us
with
some
parking
studies
along
the
corridor.
So
we'll
tell
you
all
about
that
and
then
we'll
end
with
how
to
get
involved
in
the
discussion
next
slide.
A
So
with
that
I
will
launch
the
first
poll,
which
is
the
one
that
we
always
like
to
start
with,
which
is
a
question
about
who's
in
the
room.
So
we
would
like
to
know
what
is
your
main
way
of
traveling
along
Blue
Hill
Avenue?
Should
you
walk?
Do
you
biked?
You
take
your
car
public
transit
other.
If
you
have
some
additional
context,
you
want
to
give,
you
should
can
definitely
put
that
into
the
chat.
A
We
also
have
that
question
number
two,
where
we
ask
for
some
information
about,
why
that's
how
you
choose
to
get
around
and
then,
additionally,
we
ask
for
your
home,
zip
code,
so
we
can
know
where
folks
are
joining
us
from
so
I
will
pause.
While
we
let
those
answers
trickle
in
we
like
to
get
as
much
participation
as
we
can
on
this
question,
so
I
definitely
encourage
you
to
fill
it
out.
A
We're
not
quite
at
50
percent
of
respondents,
so
I'm
going
to
keep
waiting,
and
just
so
you
all
know
we
do
always
publish
these
poll
results
when
we
put
our
slides
and
also
our
video
recording,
online
and
you'll
get
to
see
these
results
in
just
a
second
as
well.
If
you
can't
use
the
poll,
you
can
always
feel
free
to
use
the
chat.
A
Okay,
I
still
see
some
filtering
in
great
thanks
everybody,
so
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
end
the
poll
and
share
the
results.
So
you
can
see
that
we've
got
about
55
percent
of
people,
usually
Drive
33,
take
the
bus
or
the
train
10
bike
and
we've
got
one
person
who
usually
walks.
So
thank
you
so
much
everybody
for
for
sharing
that
with
us.
A
So
from
here
we'll
move
into
meeting
the
team,
the
project
overview
and
our
public
commitments
next
slide.
So
we
have
a
great
team
coming
to
you
today,
one
that
I'm
very
thankful
to
be
part
of.
We
have
the
public
sector
team,
so
you
can
see
here,
I'm
joined
by
my
colleagues,
Maya
Graham
and
Charlotte
from
the
Boston
transportation
department
who
are
assisting
with
this
project.
We
also
have
the
benefit
of
working
with
many
other
departments
at
the
city
who
are
helping
us
in
this
work.
A
So,
if
you
ever
have
questions
about
the
projects
going
on
in
these
departments,
we
can
help
to
facilitate
those
questions,
answer
them
when
we
can
and
also
to
make
sure
that
we're
sharing
information
with
our
partners-
and
the
same
is
true
of
our
partners
at
the
state,
massdot
and
MBTA.
So
these
are
a
list
of
folks
that
we're
working
with
at
those
various
agencies
to
make
sure
that
everything
is
coordinated
and
that
we're
really
thinking
about
Transportation
on
a
holistic
sense,
not
just
from
the
city
level,
but
also
from
the
state
level.
C
Thanks
Kirsty,
so,
in
addition
to
this
project
really
being
focused
on
breaking
down
silos
and
divisions
between
public
sector
work,
which
I'm
sure
for
all
of
us
has
been
frustrating
when
you
go
to
a
public
meeting
for
one
agency
and
you
go
to
another
one
from
another
and
it
seems
like
they're
not
talking.
C
So
this
is
the
sort
of
extended
team,
and
you
know
they
say
it
takes
a
village
I
think
it
really
does
and
and
we're
actually
looking
to
sort
of
be
working
more
with
Community
residents
as
a
part
of
the
engagement
through
the
real
talk
for
Change,
and
that
is
where
Community
residents
are
trained.
If
they're
interested
to
lead
Community
conversations
small
group
conversations
where
it's
really
folks
talking
with
folks
about
the
things
that
you
imagine
and
you
see
in
the
future
for
Blue
Hill,
Avenue
next
slide.
C
So
a
lot
of
stuff
going
on
along
Blue,
Hill,
Avenue
and
in
the
area,
and
we
really
started
this
process
by
identifying
sort
of
this
long
list
of
projects
and
initiatives
that
are
happening
or
recently
happened,
so
that
we
make
sure
that
we
are
engaging
with
the
folks
in
the
city
or
in
the
state
who
have
been
involved
in
those
projects
and
that
we're
aware
of
all
of
the
ideas
and
all
of
the
information
that
folks
are
getting
in
their
engagement
and
design
development
project
processes
around
these
projects.
C
So
the
ones
you
see
highlighted
are
really
the
ones
that
are
most
immediately
connected
to
this
process.
But
when
you
go
to
the
website
and
you
pull
up
any
of
these
presentations,
you
can
actually
hover
over
each
of
these
list
of
projects
and
initiatives
and
there's
a
link.
So
you
can
actually
learn
more
about
them
as
well.
If
you
go
and
download
this
from
the
website
later,
next
line.
C
It
really
started
in
Earnest
in
June
2019
we've
had
20
public
meetings
for
Blue,
Hill
Avenue
or
Mattapan
Square
11
in-person
pop-ups,
three
Community
walks,
14
workshops,
one
mailer
that
was
sent
out
to
23
000
homes
and
500
plus
survey
responses.
These
numbers
are
going
to
be
increasing
pretty
significantly
over
the
next
few
months,
in
fact,
with
the
real
talks
with
the
community
leaders
every
other
month
meetings
and
with
other
things
that
are
planned
and
that
are
in
the
works.
C
So
these
monthly
meetings
that
we
have
where
a
lot
of
you
have
been
coming
regularly.
Some
of
you
may
be
new.
These
are
really
moments
where
we
can
check
in
where
we
can
share
back
information
based
upon
the
previous
month's
conversation
and
questions
and
where
we
give
you
updates
on
the
engagement
and
and
a
lot
of
the
analysis
and
research.
C
That's
happening
also
because
one
of
the
big
things
that's
sort
of
been
put
in
on
our
table
and
on
our
plates
as
the
Consulting
team
and
as
the
city
is
to
make
sure
that
we
are
making
database
decisions,
that
we
are
understanding
the
facts
on
the
ground
and
these
aren't
just
willy-nilly,
and
so
we
we
are
every
month
we
sort
of
update
you
on
some
of
those
studies
that
are
happening
in
the
background
as
well.
Next
slide,
so
I'll
pass
it
off
to
Al.
D
Thanks
Steven
hi,
my
name
is
Elle
Scully
I
am
with
powerful,
Pathways
and
I'm
presenting
tonight
on
behalf
of
Alonso
Michelle,
who
many
of
you
probably
know,
and
just
to
quickly
review
public
commitments
of
the
project.
Commitment
number
one
is
the
city
and
engagement
team
are
committed
to
making
informed
data-driven
decisions
which
respond
to
questions
raised
by
the
public
commitment
to
the
city
and
engagement
team
are
committed
to
involving
sorry,
improving
pedestrian
safety
along
Blue,
Hill,
Avenue
and
commitment.
D
So
this
is
feedback
on
parking.
We've
been
soliciting
public
feedback
for
the
past
couple
years.
Then
these
all
different
points
made
from
last
year
last
fall
so
and
input
that
we
got
from
the
public
meeting
and
it's
essentially
saying
that
parking
is
a
huge
issue
and
it's
something
that
we're
aware
of
and
taking
feedback
on
next
slide.
Kirsty.
E
Hi
everyone,
my
name,
is
Maya
and
I
am
part
of
the
BTD
team
on
this
project
and
like
Ellen
mentioned,
we've
been
getting
a
lot
of
questions
and
we've
been
collecting
comments
through
these
monthly
public
meetings.
So
we're
taking
this
opportunity
to
start
addressing
some
of
those
questions
and
today
we'll
be
talking
about
parking.
E
Last
month,
when
we
asked
the
poll
question,
the
top
two
parking
concerns
were
about
double
parking
and
a
lack
of
enforcement.
So
here
are
some
ways
that
we
can
actually
enforce.
Parking
first
is
through
curbside
regulations.
These
are
things
like
shorter
term
parking
and
pick
up
drop-off
zones,
that
is
under
the
control
of
the
city
and
the
Boston
transportation
department.
E
We
control
curbside
regulations
on
city-owned
streets
enforcement
measures,
like
I
mentioned,
are
through
shorter
terms,
so,
whether
that's
15
minute
one
hour,
two
hour
parking
and
pick
up
drop-off
zones
in
front
of
businesses
that
necessitate
pick
up
and
drop
off.
So
you
know
where
you
have
a
lot
of
car
turnover
in
front
of
those
businesses.
E
Next
there
is
paid
parking.
The
city
also
controls
the
placement
of
meters
and
where
you
have
to
pay
for
parking
on
the
street,
and
once
that
is
placed,
we
maintain
the
meters
and
BTD
parking
enforcement
officers,
monitor
those
spots
and
enforce
tickets
based
on
those
meters,
there's
also
the
ticketing
of
parking
violations.
So
those
are
things
like
parking
in
a
bus
stop
or
a
tow
Zone
unpaid
meters
and
non-residence
parking
in
resident
permit
parking.
E
Those
are
primarily
enforced
by
BTD
parking
enforcement
through
ticketing,
the
Boston
Police
Department
and
MBTA
Transit
Police
are
also
able
to
issue
tickets
for
these
violations,
but
these
are
primarily
issued
by
BTD
enforcement
officers,
and
the
last
one
we
were
talking
about
today
is
moving
violations.
So
that's
things
like
speeding
double
parking
when
you're
idling
in
your
car
and
running
through
a
red
light.
These
are
all
primarily
enforced
by
Boston
police
officers
through
chapter
90.,
that's
the
issuance.
They
have
that
allows
them
to
enforce
these
violations.
Also
through
mostly
the
issuing
of
tickets.
E
The
MBTA
Transit
Police
has
full
jurisdiction
throughout
the
city
of
Boston
because
we're
in
their
service
area,
but
they're
often
focused
on
emergency
situations
in
and
around
MBTA
facilities.
So
these
kinds
of
violations
are
mostly
enforced
by
the
Boston
Police
Department,
and
if
you
have
any
questions
about
any
of
these
types
of
violations
or
who
enforces
parking
in
these
areas,
please
put
it
in
the
chat
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
them.
F
F
Just
very
briefly,
if
you're
not
familiar
with
mapc,
we
are
the
regional
urban
planning
Agency
for
101
cities
and
towns
in
Greater
Boston.
You
can
see
a
map
of
our
service
territory
on
the
left
of
the
slide,
and
our
focus
is
really
about
smart
growth
and
Regional
collaboration.
We
work
on
issues
ranging
from
housing,
Transportation,
clean
energy
and
so
and
a
whole
host
of
other
urban
planning
issues
throughout
the
region
as
well,
and
so
just
a
couple
of
other
projects.
F
I'll
note
that
are
related
to
the
Blue
Hill
Avenue
area,
we're
working
on
a
Boston
to
Blue
Hills
initiative
to
improve,
walking
and
biking
access
from
the
southern
neighborhoods
of
Boston
to
the
Blue
Hills
reservation.
I'll
put
the
link
to
that
in
the
chat
in
just
a
moment
and
we're
also,
in
addition
to
working
on
parking
issues
with
the
project
team
here
on
Blue
Hill
Ave.
We're
also
going
to
be
helping
the
project
team
look
at
housing
issues
as
well,
so
we'll
share
more
about
that
at
Future
meetings.
F
But
today
we're
really
here
to
talk
about
parking
and
I'll,
say
more
about
that
in
just
a
moment:
I'm
putting
that
Blue
Hills
Link
in
the
chat
as
well.
So
we
can
move
to
the
next
slide.
So
why
do
we
want
to
study
parking
on
Blue
Hill
Ave,
we've
heard
I
know
it's
come
up
in
previous
meetings
and
it
tends
to
be
a
hot
button
issue
not
just
along
the
Blue
Hill
Ave
Corridor,
but
in
a
lot
of
cities
and
towns.
F
We
work
in
as
well,
and
so
as
it
pertains
to
Blue,
Hill,
Ave
and
studying
parking,
we
really
want
to
First
understand
the
existing
parking
Behavior.
How
many
spaces
are
occupied,
how
many
spaces
are
available?
How
long
do
people
park
for
and
how
quickly
are
these
parking
spaces
turning
over?
So
we
want
to
understand
the
existing
conditions
along
the
corridor
and
then
to
follow
up
on
that.
We
also
want
to
understand
how
parking
might
shift
to
accommodate
the
potential
parking
demand
in
streetscape
changes
along
the
corridor.
F
You
know
we
want
to
understand
main
streets
versus
side
streets.
We
know
these
can
be
challenging
issues
sometimes,
but
it's
important
that
we
kind
of
look
at
the
full
spectrum
of
parking
issues
and
locations
along
the
corridor,
so
we
can
really
be
making
data-driven
decisions
that
are
informed
that
inform
the
future
of
the
corridor.
So
you
can
move
to
the
next
slide.
F
So,
following
on
from
some
of
these
goals,
some
of
the
questions
that
we
hope
to
answer
as
part
of
the
parking
studies
again,
what
is
the
supply
of
parking
on
and
around
Blue
Hill
Ave?
How
much
parking
is
available
at
different
times
of
the
day?
Are
there
particular
periods
where
there's
Peak
usage
versus
where
more
pipe
parking
might
be
available?
We
want
to
understand
how
much
parking
might
be
available
within
a
short
walk,
a
two
to
five
minute:
walk
of
small
businesses
and
Commercial
activity.
F
We
all
ideally
would
love
to
park
right
outside
our
destination,
but
oftentimes
there's
more
parking
available
than
we
might
think.
If
it's
just
a
couple
minutes
away,
we
also
want
to
understand
if
there
are
issues
with
parking,
duration
and
turnover
are
people
parking
for
long
time
periods,
all
maybe
they're
parking
all
day
long
in
spaces
where
they
should
only
be
parking
for
two
hours
and
that
might
take
spaces
away
from
people
who
might
want
to
visit
some
of
the
small
businesses
in
the
area.
F
So
we
definitely
want
to
understand
that
short
and
long-term
parking
behavior
and,
of
course,
we
saw
the
comments
earlier
about
doubles
and
triple
parking
being
a
big
issue.
So
we
want
to
observe
that
understand
how
much
is
happening
and
how
that
can
be
better
managed
next
slide.
F
So
our
approach
to
studying
parking
on
Blue
Hill
Ave
is
we
want
to
identify
areas
of
Interest
along
the
corridor.
We
know
that
this
is
a
really
long
and
complicated
Corridor
with
lots
of
issues
at
different
parts
of
the
corridor.
So
there's
no
no
way
we
can
cover
it
in
a
single
parking
study.
F
It
will
likely
end
up
being
a
series
of
parking
studies
that
look
at
different
areas
along
the
corridor
and
no
one
area
is
going
to
be
truly
representative
of
the
entire
Corridor,
so
we
think
of
it,
but
we
do
think
it
is
important
to
get
started.
So
we
see
we
want
to
Pilot
this
parking
study
Approach
at
Blue,
Hill,
Avenue
and
Old
Road
I'll
say
a
little
bit
more
about
that
in
the
slides
that
follow,
but
later
on.
F
So
we'll
say
more
about
that
when
it
comes
to
that
portion
of
the
presentation,
so
we
will
identify
the
areas
of
interest
in
the
targeted
geographies
along
the
corridor,
then
we'll
actually
go
out
and
we'll
gather
parking
data
on
some
of
on
some
of
those
areas,
we'll
analyze
that
data
and
then
we'll
produce
maps
and
reports
that
we'll
publicly
share
with
all
of
you
to
continue
informing
this
process
as
we
move
forward
next
slide.
F
So,
a
little
bit
more
about
this
pilot
study
area
I
mentioned
that
looking
at
Blue,
Hill,
Ave
and
Old
Road.
We
think
there
are
a
few
compelling
reasons
to
study
this
area.
To
get
this
process
started.
F
There's
the
Harvard
Street
Neighborhood,
Health
Center
is
right
on
the
corridor
there,
and
so,
of
course,
maintaining
access
to
that
Health
Center
is
going
to
be
really
important,
as
we
think
about
what
streetscape
changes
on
Blue,
Hill
Ave
might
look
like,
and
you
know
what
does
the
parking
scenario
look
like
over
there.
We
also
found
that
this
study
area
has
a
mix
of
residential
and
small
business
Commercial
areas,
it's
also
a
mix
of
Maine
arterial
streets,
the
main
Corridor
on
Blue
Hill
Ave,
as
well
as
some
side
streets
as
well.
F
So
we
see
we
see
that
even
in
a
small
area.
Here
we
have
a
good
mix
of
things
that
we
think
are
important
to
study
and
again
this
is
a
focused
area
where
we
can
test
out
our
parking
study
methodology
and
hopefully
replicate
that
on
other
areas
up
and
down
Blue
Hill
Ave,
as
we
continue
this
process
next
slide.
F
So
this
is
a
map
of
the
study
area
just
to
show
you
some
of
the
streets
that
we'll
be
studying
in
a
bit
more
detail.
You
can
see
the
outline
in
orange
kind
of
to
the
left
running
north
south.
We
have
the
area
Blue
Hill
Ave
between
Columbia
Road
and
Glenway
Street
and
Old.
Road,
then
kind
of
immediately
to
the
right
of
that.
We
have
Old
Road
running
north
south
between
Glenway
Street
and
Columbia
Road,
then
going
north
to
south.
F
We
have
that
segment
of
Columbia
Road
between
Walcott
Street
and
Blue,
Hill,
Ave
kind
of
running,
East,
West
and
then
moving
down.
We
have
Ellington
Street
between
Blue
Hill,
Ave
and
Erie
Street
kind
of
running
that
diagonal
sort
of
Southeast
to
Northwest.
You
could
say,
and
then
similarly
for
Glenway
Street
between
Erie
Street
and
Blue
Hill
Ave
at
the
very
bottom.
F
So
that's
a
map
of
our
study
area
that
we,
where
we
want
to
Pilot
this
parking
study
approach,
but
then
replicate
that
along
additional
areas
in
the
corridor,
so
I'll
we'll
move
to
the
next
slide
and
I
think
I'll
turn
it
back
over
to
the
BTD
teams.
Talk
about
how
these
findings
will
be
used
and
I'll
be
available
as
part
of
the
Q
a
at
the
end.
So
just
want
to
thank
you
all
for
your
time
and
engagement
here
and
we're
excited
to
roll
up
our
sleeves
and
get
started.
A
Thanks
so
much
ADI,
so
we
wanted
to
be
really
clear
about
how
we
plan
to
use
these
findings
and,
as
ADI
touched
on,
there's
really
sort
of
two
sets
of
goals
for
this
parking
study.
So
the
first
is
to
inform
the
process.
As
we
said,
we
know
that
this
is
not
a
representative
part
of
Buffalo
Avenue
and
it's
maybe
not
even
where
parking
is
the
more
most
difficult,
but
we
wanted
to
start
with
a
focused
area
of
the
corridor
and
side
streets.
A
So
we
can
test
out
the
study
of
methodology
we're
using
and
learn
from
that
for
future
studies
at
the
corridor,
especially
in
areas
where
we
have
heard
a
lot
about
of
different
problems.
We
also
have
heard
that
this
area,
in
particular,
can
have
a
lot
of
double
parking
like
many
areas
along
Blue,
Hill
Avenue,
and
so
this
will
help
us
figure
out.
You
know.
Is
it
working
well
the
way
that
we're
trying
to
build
in
observations
about
double
parking?
A
Are
we
getting
the
type
of
information
that
we
need
to
to
highlight
late
where
that's
occurring
or
where
it's
posing?
You
know
particular
problems,
and
so
this
is
a
great
opportunity
to
do
that
and
then,
as
ADI
mentioned
too.
This
isn't
the
end
of
it.
A
We'll
come
back,
we'll
share
the
results,
and
that
way
we
can
work
with
you
all
and
other
members
of
the
public
to
figure
out
the
best
way
to
communicate
the
findings
so
that
you
all
are
informed
with
that
data,
as
are
we,
and
so
that
leads
into
the
second
goal,
which
is
informing
this
project.
So
this
will
be
one
of
several
parking
studies
that
we'll
do
along
the
corridor
and
the
data
that
we
collect
here
will
help
to
inform
decisions
that
are
going
to
be
made
about
roadway
changes.
A
We've
heard
from
folks
that
parking
is
a
main
consideration
in
this
project,
and
so
we
want
to
make
sure
we
have
a
complete
understanding
of
what
the
current
state
of
parking
is,
so
that
we
can
have
informed
discussions
among
our
partners
and
also
with
you
all
from
there
and
I
think
that
leads
into
the
next
slide.
So
final
poll-
and
actually
this
one,
is
just
in
the
chat.
A
What
other
areas
should
we
look
at
for
a
parking
study?
So
if
you
can
be
as
specific
as
possible,
that
would
be
hugely
helpful.
I
see
some
folks
are
writing
about
how
double
parking
is
a
big
issue
in
our
last
meeting
70
of
folks
in
the
meeting,
so
the
double
parking
was
one
of
the
two
biggest
issues
on
Blue
Hill
Avenue.
With
regards
to
parking,
so
we
heard
that
any
specifics
you
have
about
whether
it's
specific
locations,
specific
businesses,
intersections
that
sort
of
thing
would
be
really
helpful
to
have
in
the
chat.
G
A
This
is
really
helpful
and
you
should
definitely
continue
to
post
things
in
there,
but
I
am
going
to
pass
it
to
the
next
slide.
So
we
can
continue
on
with
the
meeting
and
get
to
the
discussion
portion.
C
Great
thanks
Christy,
so
how
to
get
involved
next
slide.
I
mentioned
earlier
on
the
real
talks
for
change,
which
we've
already
hosted
two,
and
we
really,
though,
do
want
people
to
sign
up
and
join
those
conversations.
C
They
are
conversations
that
are
ultimately
going
to
be
led
by
other
community
members
that
are
trained
and
once
you
participate
in
one
of
those
conversations,
you
will
be
compensated
for
your
time
and
if
you
decide
that
you're
interested
in
actually
hosting
a
conversation
and
and
inviting
some
folks
that
you
know
to
join
the
next
round
of
conversations,
you
can
also
become
a
host
which
involves
being
trained
to
lead
a
conversation
and
that
information
is
then
recorded
and
then
coded.
C
C
So
if
you're
interested
in
getting
involved,
the
email
below
Blue,
Hill,
Ave
boston.gov,
is
the
email
to
send
and
you
can
just
put
in
the
subject
line
real
talk
or
Community
conversations
and
and
that
you'd
like
to
be
invited
to
one
of
those
conversations
and
then
after
you
participate.
You
can
then
determine
if
that's
something
you
feel
like
you'd
be
interested
in
hosting
next
slide.
D
Stephen,
so
additional
upcoming
in-person
engagement
opportunities
that
we
have
coming
up.
We
have
powerful
Pathways,
along
with
over
under
and
design
Museum
are
putting
on
a
pop-up
exhibition
for
the
month
of
April
this
year
we
would
love
to
invite
everybody
to
come.
There
will
be
two
locations,
one
will
be
at
the
matapan
branch
of
the
Boston
Public
Library.
The
other
will
be
at
the
Grove
Hall
branch
of
the
Boston
Public
Library,
so
Mattapan
will
be
the
first
half
of
April.
D
Grove
Hall
will
be
the
second
half
of
April,
we'll
have
daily
Library
hours
with
Staffing
for
the
exhibition.
We
really
welcome
public
feedback.
There
are
a
lot
of
interactive
components,
we
have
planned
and
then
there's
also
going
to
be
two
featured
open
houses,
one
in
each
location,
the
first
one
of
which
will
be
April
11th
in
the
evening
from
6
to
8
p.m.
D
And
this
that's
in
matapana
and
the
second
one
will
be
in
Grove,
Hall,
April
27th
from
6
to
8
P.M
and
we're
happy
to
answer
any
additional
questions
about
that
as
well,
and
would
really
love
to
see
you
there
and
then
there's
also
a
consult
Lila
meeting.
D
Not
your
average
public
meeting,
which
is
also
Thursday
April
27th
from
6
to
8
p.m.
At
K's,
Oasis
next
slide.
A
Alrighty
so
final
poll
of
the
evening-
and
many
of
you
have
been
on
our
last
two
public
meetings
where
we
shared
this
poll
and
you
indicated
interest.
So
thank
you
so
much
to
those
of
you
who
did
if
you've
already
done
that,
don't
feel
like
you
need
to
answer
again,
but
we
do
just
like
to
open
this
pool
up
in
every
one
of
our
meetings
to
ask
if
folks
are
interested
in
getting
involved.
A
So
if
you
select
yes
or
maybe,
the
team
may
reach
out
to
you
with
more
information
about
upcoming
engagement
opportunities,
in
particular
those
real
talks.
We
are
working
on
getting
more
facilitators
trained
so
that
we
can
continue
to
train
others,
and
then
we
can
have
a
Snowball
Effect
to
get
in
touch
with
as
many
folks
as
possible
and
while
that
pole
is
open,
I
will
talk
through
some
of
the
other
upcoming
activities
that
we
have.
So
we've
talked
about
the
real
talk
sessions,
the
open
house
and
then
not
your
average
public
meeting.
A
We
also
have
Grove
Hall
drop-in
hours,
so
at
the
Grove
Hall
Public
Library,
every
Wednesday.
You
can
find
myself
Maya
our
colleagues
from
MBTA
and
often
some
other
folks
too,
from
10
a.m,
to
12
p.m
and
we'll
be
there
through
May
31st.
So
if
you
want
to
stop
by
tomorrow,
we'll
be
there
we're
right
when
you
walk
in
at
a
big
table,
we
have
tons
of
resources
and
we're
ready
to
chat
about
any
aspect
of
the
project
you
want
to
discuss.
So
we
would
love
to
see
you
there.
A
If
you
represent
an
organization
and
you're
interested
in
having
sort
of
a
graphic
format
of
a
flyer
to
advertise
that
you
can
email
that
Blue
Hill
Ave
boston.gov
and
we
will
make
sure
you
get
one
of
those
so
that
you
can
send
it
out
and
we
can
have
a
little
blurb
for
you
as
well,
and
then
we
are
also
continuing
these
monthly
public
meetings
through
July.
So
you'll
be
seeing
more
of
us.
A
We
are
working
also
on
a
bus
rider
survey
so
that
we
can
hear
from
some
more
folks
who
ride
our
bus
system,
who
often
are
unable
to
make
this
meeting
so
we'll
be
doing
that
we're
continuing
with
the
business
surveys
along
Blue,
Hill
Avenue
and
we're
working
our
way
down
the
corridor,
as
we
all
know,
thriving
small
business
Corridor.
So
we've
got
a
lot
of
work
left
to
do
there,
but
we're
excited
about
it
and
then
we'll
continue
to
have
youth,
focused
learning
and
engagement
workshops.
A
A
A
Again
you
can
email,
bluehillab,
boston.gov
and
if
you've
got
particular
questions
for
us,
we
have
a
form
that
you
can
use
to
give
us
some
detail
about
the
question
you
have
about
the
project,
any
background
on
the
question
and
we
try
to
answer
those
we're
building
out
a
frequently
asked
questions
document
to
post
on
the
website,
and
then
we
also
try
to
answer
those
here
as
well,
and
so
with
that
that
concludes
sort
of
the
formalized
portion
of
our
our
presentation.
It's
almost
7
20,
so
we
can
actually
go
ahead
and
stop
sharing
the
screen.
A
Although
Maya
we
might
need
to
bring
it
back
up.
If
folks
have
specific
questions
about
the
parking
study-
and
we
have
40
minutes
for
questions,
I
do
ask
that
people
try
to
keep
their
comments
or
their
questions
a
little
shorter
so
that
we
have
time
to
get
to
everybody.
We
do
like
to
end
right
at
8
pm
to
be
respectful
of
people's
time,
but
if
you
have
a
question,
please
raise
your
hand
if
we
can
start
with
questions
about
the
parking
study.
H
Yes,
hi
hi
thanks
for
coming
hi.
Thank
you.
Last
night,
West
Selden
Street
in
vicinity,
neighborhood
association
had
a
meeting
and
we
included
the
area
B3
Captain,
lieutenant
sergeant
and
the
community
service
department.
We
also
had
the
lieutenant
from
the
state
police
and
my
concern
with
them
was
the
double
parking
along
Blue
Hill
Avenue
from
Mattapan
Square,
all
the
way
down
the
Grove
Hall
in
the
past
Daryl
Smith,
Trooper,
Leroy,
keys
and
officer
Maddie
Harrison.
H
They
made
an
epic
which
really
worked
and
they
notified
the
merchants
and
along
Blue
Hill
Avenue
and
on
a
certain
day
what
they
did
was
they
came
down.
Blue
Hill
Avenue,
both
sides
they
ticketed
and
towed
any
cars
that
will
illegally
parked.
H
They
also
told
trucks
that
were
in
the
Franklin
Field
area
right
outside
the
Franklin
Field
park
there
and
they
told
all
those
trucks
that
were
illegally
parked.
Why
can't?
And
and
at
a
meeting
last
night
we
tried
to
and
I
think
successfully,
there's
going
to
be
some
effort
into
ticketing,
those
cards
that
are
parking
there,
illegally
double
parking
and
triple
parking
all
the
way
down
from
Mattapan
Square
down
to
Grove
Hall.
H
H
The
the
ticket
for
the
bus
stops,
is
what
I
think
it's
a
hundred
dollars
and
right
now
the
biggest
problem
we
have
is
that
along
Blue
Hill
Avenue
people
are
parking
at
the
bus
stops
and
that
we're
looking
for
BTD
to
help
with
the
ticketing
where
there
is
a
a
small
number
of
State,
Police
and
Boston
police.
To
do
this,
we're
asking
that
BTD
step
in
and
help
try
to
alleviate
this
problem.
H
So
right
now,
hopefully,
like
I
said
this
meeting
was
last
night,
but
hopefully
we'll
try
to
get
BTD
on
online
with
us
to
support
that
issue,
and
hopefully
this
will
alleviate
some
of
the
problems.
But
together
it
has
to
be
an
effort
in
this
community
on
both
sides
of
Blue
Hill
Avenue,
to
eliminate
that
that
double
and
triple
parking
along
Blue
Hill
Avenue.
H
So
my
issue
is
right
now:
how
are
you
all
going
to
help
out
with
this.
A
Yeah
thanks
Miss
forever
for
bringing
up
something
that
that
we've
heard
a
lot
about
and
I
think
the
point
about
blocking
the
bus
stops
or
or
blocking
anyone
from
access
to
the
sidewalk
is
particularly
important,
especially
when
you're
thinking
about
folks
who
either
use
a
wheelchair
or
have
a
stroller
or
have
a
grocery
cart,
and
so
the
so
I
guess
to
to
clarify
a
little
bit.
So
I
am
on
the
policy
and
planning
side
of
the
Boston
transportation
department.
A
So
I
work
very
closely
with
our
folks
who
are
in
the
operations
side,
but
I
am
not
on
this
team.
That
specifically
does
enforcement,
and
so
I
as
part
of
this
project
have
been
talking
with
our
leaders,
though,
over
on
the
operations
side,
about
sort
of
what
the
capacity
is
in
our
civilian
force
in
BTD
parking
enforcement
to
try
to
address
more
of
these
issues
that
people
are
talking
about
on
Blue,
Hill
Avenue
from
what
I
hear
we're
still
in
budget
season.
But
we
are
asking
for
some
more
positions
over
in
that
department.
A
Right
now
we're
pretty
constrained
from
sort
of
a
number
of
people
we
have
available
to
do
the
job
perspective
and
I
understand
that
that's
not
an
acceptable
response,
but
it
is
a
structural
issue
that
we
are
working
on
and
then,
with
regards
to.
A
There
was
another
part
of
your
question:
I
wanted
to
make
sure
I
answered,
so
that's
about
enforcement.
The
other
thing
I
wanted
to
point
out
too,
is
that
for
for
as
many
folks
as
we
hear
who
are
asking
for
more
enforcement,
there
will
also
be
that
number
of
folks
who
come
into
City
Hall,
who
are
upset
about
the
enforcement.
So,
as
we
think
about
enforcement
strategies-
and
we
talk
with
you
all
in
the
community
about
what
that
might
look
like
and
what
the
options
are.
A
We
also
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
doing
a
good
job
and
that's
on
that's
on
myself
and
my
colleagues
to
communicate
with
that.
A
strategy
eventually
ends
up
being
so
that
people
aren't
taken
by
surprise
and
they
don't
have
a
you
know,
ticket
that
they
can't
pay,
that
is
impacting
their
their
economic
livelihood
or
their
ability
to
support
themselves
and
their
families.
So
it's
definitely
something
we're
attuned
to
I'm,
really
grateful.
You
brought
it
up
today,
Miss
Barbara
and
I'm.
C
Kirsty
and
just
to
amplify
what
you're
saying
and
then
what
Kenya
put
in
the
chat
enforcement
and
the
the
possibility
of
different
enforcement
strategies
being
a
part
of
any
solution
that
we
have
for
improvements
along
the
corridor
are
absolutely
a
part
of
our
weekly
conversations
and
are
brought
to
bear,
particularly
by
Mr
Lisa
but
others
as
things
that
we
need
to
be
paying
close
attention
to
through
this
process.
I
Hi
how
you
doing
so
hi,
so
thank
you
for
being
here
tonight.
J
I
You
I,
really
hope
appreciate
the
meetings
I'm
in
the
same
boat
as
Miss
Barbara,
and
not
only
for
parking,
but
for
some
of
the
things
that
are
being
put
out
there
that
make
sense.
In
theory,
I
am
concerned
that
what
works
in
theory
isn't
practical
in
the
real
world,
I've
seen
what
happened
on
Washington
Street
with
the
bus
lanes
that
are
on
the
side
and
a
lot
of
delivery
vehicles
which
can't
find
parking
any
wealth,
Warehouse
Park
in
those
Lanes
I
see
delivery.
People
I
mean
Eggleston
Square.
I
They
have
to
park
in
the
middle
of
the
where
the
islands
are
to
get
packages
delivered
to
people
and
I'm
concerned
that
what
again
is
in
theory
on
paper,
looks
really
good.
I
You're
mentioning
again
parking
enforcement
I
know
that
we
don't
have
capacity
to
do
that
now
and
it's
when
you
talk
about
it
in
theory
being
able
to
research
it
and
do
you
know
X,
Y
and
Z
to
work
on
that
from
my
real
lived
experience.
What
works
on
paper?
I
A
Thanks,
miss
Connie
and
I
want
to
acknowledge
that
that
is
something
that
we've
heard
and
something
that
I
I
just
really
want
to
emphasize
understanding
that
this
at
the
end
of
the
day,
is
something
that
you
know
will
be
built
and
constructed
in
whatever
form
that
is,
and
then
it
will
be
there
and
we
will
have
to
live
with
sort
of
how
that
functions
and
how
that
works,
and
so
that's
why
we
are
having
these
conversations
with
folks
in
operations
with
other
people
to
make
sure
that
structurally,
we
as
the
city
are
set
up
to
be
able
to
enforce
sort
of
whatever
is
hello?
A
Oh
sorry,
so
that
we
are
structurally
set
up
to
be
able
to
make
true
on
any
of
those
sort
of
promises
or
ideas
about
how
the
street
should
work.
And
so
this
is,
you
know,
part
of
why
we
are
having
these
conversations
we
are
going
through.
A
For
you
know
what
the
city
is
proposing
to
be
successful
on
Blue
Hill
Avenue
and
to
make
sure
that
what
whatever
design
we
come
up
with
that
it,
it
enhances
people's
access
and
does
not
detract
from
it.
I
don't
know
if
anyone
else
on
the
team.
C
Had
anything
to
add
yeah,
just
just
to
add,
miss
Connie,
we
really
appreciate
the
inputs
that
you've
shared
and
your
guidance,
particularly
towards
looking
at
Columbus,
Ave
and
sort
of
understanding
the
impacts
of
things
that
are
not
conceptual
and
on
paper,
but
in
fact,
are
real
and
are
measurable
after
they're
done
and
making
sure
that
we're
not
doing
something
that
we
need
to
be
measuring
and
reconciling,
after
the
fact
for
Blue
Hill
Avenue,
so
that
that's
balance
with
also
the
need
to
do
these
studies
and
I
think
the
very
important
task
of
making
sure
that
we're
making
data
informed
decisions,
even
if
that
data
is
imperfect,
even
if
that
data
ultimately
is
going
to
be
shown
to
be
inaccurate
in
some
ways
once
something
eventually
happens.
C
A
Right,
thank
you.
Mr
Elisa.
J
Good
evening,
thank
you
very
much.
The
opportunity
first
thing
I
want
to
say
thank
you
to
Connie,
But,
Connie
and
I
have
been
in
conversation
for
the
last
10
years
and
Garrison
Trotta
has
been
in
existence
44
years
in
the
issue
of
transportation
and
parking
and
Public
Safety
and
the
rule
of
law,
as
it
relates
to
chapter
90
and
how
it
affects
the
quality
of
life
in
the
gas
and
trout
area.
There's
been
a
constant
Barbara
hit
it
right
on
the
head,
and
you
know
Steve
and
I.
J
Thank
you
for
acknowledging
the
fact
that
we've
discussed
this,
and
you
know
Christy
you've
alluded
to
the
fact
that
the
issue
that's
been
brought
up
in
our
weekly
meetings
upon
design
and
on
process
as
to
how
and
where
we're
going,
we've
been
very
clear
and
Bobby.
You
should
know
that
this
comes
back
from
years
of
working
with
you
and
the
others
in
Mattapan
and
Dorchester
as
to
what
enforcement
means
in
terms
of
quality
of
life
and
my
recommendation
early.
J
Is
you
remember
three
four
years
ago,
as
it
is
now
that
if
there
was
enforcement,
maybe
this
question
about
a
Center
Line
train
to
minimize
or
to
maximize
access
and
minimize
the
amount
of
time
that
commuters
and
residents
spend
and
getting
down
below
Avenue
would
not
even
be
a
discussion,
but
it's
clear
that
enforcement
has
to
be
a
critical
variable.
J
That's
that's
included
in
this
equation
as
to
what
design
or
what
structures
can
take
place
or
what
changes
need
to
happen
along
Blue,
Hill
Avenue,
for
it
to
be
effective
that
if
there
wasn't
double
parking,
if
people
were
you
know
the
if
the
law
is
being
enforced
as
it
is
in
other
parts
of
the
city,
You
probably
would
not
have
the
Slowdown
you
and
I
both
know.
J
Everyone
on
here
who's
been
down
blue
little
Avenue
or
Columbus
Avenue,
or
down
Washington
Street
in
in
the
south
end,
or
even
you
know,
you
know,
Commonwealth
Avenue,
that
if
you
double
Park
on
a
major
roadway
in
rush
hour,
you're
going
to
have
problems
every
place
else
that
gets
you
know
it
gets
enforced
to
look
it's
enforced
and
in
Roxbury
Dorchester
Mattapan.
J
It
seems
how
some
way
it's
been
overlooked
and
so
I
think
that,
in
terms
of
equity,
everyone
who
has
a
license
and
has
registered
a
car,
they
have
had
the
opportunity
to
know
that
this
process
is
in
place.
It's
called
chapter
nine,
it's
the
motor
vehicle
law
and
then
you
take
the
little
test
so
that
you
can
go
and
take
the
road
test.
You're
informed
about
all
these
laws,
how
they
get
enforced
in
certain
parts
of
the
city
make
a
difference
in
the
terms
of
the
quality
of
life,
so
I'm
hopeful.
J
That
part
of
what
may
happen
is
that
we
go
back
and
even
though
Christie's
doesn't
work
in
the
operational
part
that
she
will
start
talking,
like
you
guys
have
with
the
City
police,
MBTA
police,
the
state
police,
all
those
who
have
jurisdiction
on
Blue,
Hill
Avenue
in
one
place
or
another
or
interact
acted
with
the
roadways
that
do
have
and
and
Boston
traffic
and
parking.
If
someone
is
parked
illegally
in
a
bus,
stop
traffic
and
parking
can
give
them
a
ticket.
That's
there's
no
question
about
it.
J
In
order
to
facilitate
what
I
think
the
goal
is,
they
say
to
move
traffic
more
rapidly
along
Blue
Hill
Avenue.
So
we
have
to
take
that
in
consideration.
When
we
start
using
data
driven
information,
we
got
to
make
sure
we're
using
the
right
variables
that
we're
putting
emphasis
on
on
the
right
variable,
because
the
type
2
error
always
can
take
place.
You,
the
dependent
variable,
becomes
more
important
than
an
independent
variable,
because
one
point
in
the
dependent
variable
which
which
informs
and
determines
your
data
outcome.
J
And
so
we
can
come
to
conclusions
that
are
data
driven,
but
it
may
not
be
correct
because
we
put
the
emphasis
on
the
wrong
variable
and
so
I
think
right
now
that
people
who
are
looking
at
traffic
and
parking
and
how
law
enforcement
works,
it's
not
and
it
should
not
work
against
anyone,
regardless
of
their
stature
in
terms
of
their
financial
ability.
But
if
they're
driving
a
car,
it's
just
like
shoveling
snow.
J
If
you
have
a
car
and
they
say
you
have
to
be
off
the
main
street,
you
have
to
move
it
off
the
main
street
doesn't
matter.
You
know
what
your
financial
status
is.
If
you're
driving
a
car
and
there's
a
it's
an
Enforcement
issue,
you
got
to
move
your
car
and
if
your
car
is
parked
and
it's
snowed
in,
you
know
you
got
a
shovel
and
get
it
out.
So
you
know
those
variables
that
we
talk
about
whether
or
not
someone
is
a
ability
to
pay
or
ticket
you
don't
have
to
get
a
ticket.
J
You
just
have
to
follow
chapter
90,
because
you
do
have
that
responsibility
as
a
person
who
owns
a
vehicle,
but
in
terms
of
how
we
look
at
the
future
of
Blue,
Hill
Avenue
and
what
we
need
to
do.
I'm
gonna,
hope,
I'm
hopeful
that
mapc
will
get
an
area
that
is
more
rigorous
in
terms
of
including
more
housing
and
more
activities
than
the
site.
That
they've
identified
earlier
only
requires
to
have
a
site
that
is
boarded
one
side
by
a
park
which
takes
up.
J
You
don't
have
very
many
activities
on
there,
you're
buying
it
by
two
parts
of
Columbus,
Avenue,
Columbia,
Road,
I'm.
Sorry,
so
I
would
hope
that
you
know
what
Ma
PC
does
and
I
know
and
I
know
they
work
hard
at
what
they
say
they
do
in
terms
of
planning,
but
let
them
learn
a
little
about
the
culture
of
Blue,
Hill
Avenue
and
the
people
who
live
there.
Why?
J
A
lot
of
people
are
not
very
comfortable
with
public
transportation
and
why
there's
so
much
dependency
on
private
Vehicles,
because
as
a
New
Yorker
I
know
that
that's
not
a
good
place
to
be
to
have
to
pay
all
that
insurance
and
and
find
a
place
to
get
off
the
street
for
street
cleaning
and
stuff,
but
they
do
it
because
public
transportation
has
not
been
good
to
them.
Center
Line
train
will
not
supplant
the
need
for
transportation.
J
That
gets
you
over
to
Longwood
Avenue
for
your
Hospital
Medical
Services
I'll
get
you
downtown
to
the
Waterfront
District
for
the
industrial
jobs
and
things
of
that
nature.
So
you
know
a
bus
to
get
you
from
Mattapan
Square
to
Grove.
J
Hall
will
not
be
a
solution
that,
in
since
talks
to
the
culture
of
driving
in
the
growth,
Hall
amount
of
pain,
Rochester
area,
and
we
need
to
be
a
little
bit
more
sensitive
to
that,
and
we
appreciate
any
support
that
folks
will
want
to
give
as
to
how
they
feel
and
why
they
feel
you
know.
Driving
is
something
they
have
to
do,
and
what
would
they
like
to
see
change
in
terms
of
public
transportation
to
get
them
to
be
more
on
public
transport
over
in
it.
A
Yeah
Mr
Lisa
I'm
glad
you
highlighted
the
point
about
why
it's
part
of
why
we
have
that
second
question,
always
in
our
intro
poll,
so
that
we
can
hear
a
bit
more
about.
You
know
what
is
pushing
you
to
make
the
decisions
you
do
around
how
you
choose
to
travel
around
and
also
just
want
to
say
as
well
that
what
we
know
that
enforcement
will
be
a
pillar
of
you
know,
whatever
sort
of
scenario
we
end
up
with
on
Blue,
Hill
Avenue
and
we'll
continue
to
have
those
conversations
with
folks,
there's.
A
Obviously
a
lot
more
to
talk
about
to
the
point
of
the
parking
study
that
we're
planning
with
our
mapc
colleagues.
A
F
Sure
happy
to
Chris,
Christie
and
Mr
Lisa
I
want
to
thank
you
for
the
questions
and
the
comments
I
saw.
You
know
you
had
you
had
some
questions
you
posed
earlier
in
the
chat,
so
I
do
want
to
speak
to
some
of
those,
and
you
know
we
can
get
into
some
of
the
details
as
well,
but
I
think
you
know
certainly
like
we've
articulated
earlier.
F
You
know
this
Old
Road
area
around
the
health
center
is
just
to
get
us
started,
but
with
future
studies
we
can
definitely
look
at
areas
that
have
more
of
that
residential
mix
or
more
of
that
commercial
mix,
because
we
know
that
no
one
area
is
going
to
be
truly
representative
of
the
whole
Corridor.
There's
a
lot
of
different
areas.
We're
going
to
look
at
we're
going
to
need
to
Target
the
approach
accordingly
and
you
know,
I
do
know
that
a
lot
of
people
drive
on
on
Blue,
Hill
Ave.
F
You
know
definitely
can't
minimize
that
or
allide
that
reality
as
we
approach
the
parking
study.
We
also
know
a
lot
of
people
take
the
bus
on
Blue,
Hill
Ave
and
that
that
bus
service
is
not
what
it
needs
to
be
people
getting
stuck
in
congestion,
I
and
I
know,
there's
a
long
and
tortured
history
with
the
28x
and
that
we're
trying
to
avoid
those
mistakes
of
the
past.
F
With
this
process
here,
yeah
I
know
that
there
used
to
be
the
streetcar
that
ran
down
Blue
Hill
Ave
that
got
taken
away,
Pro
I
believe
in
the
50s
or
60s.
Others
know
that
history,
better
than
I
do
but
I
do
know
that
that
the
Blue
Hill
Ave
Community
has
suffered
from
a
lack
of
Transit
access
that
has
led
to
some
of
the
car
dependence
that
we
see
right
now.
F
So
you
know
I'm
I'm,
definitely
aware
of
those
issues
and
I
think
you
know
this
parking
study,
hopefully,
can
be
an
exercise
for
all
of
us
to
learn
more
and
help
address
some
of
those
issues,
so
I
did
want
to
make
sure
I
was
speaking
to
some
of
your
your
comments
there.
So
I
hope
that
you
know
addresses
some
of
that
and
I
know
we'll
continue
this.
This
conversation
as
well
as
far
as
some
of
the
particulars
about
the
parking
study
I
know
there
were
some
questions
about
the
study
hours.
F
You
know
we
were
looking
to
do:
8
A.M
to
8
P.M
on
a
weekday
and
9
A.M
to
3
P.M
on
a
Saturday
to
align
with
the
health
center
hours
on
a
weekend.
You
know
so
we
can
certainly
discuss
which
weekday
we
might
want
to
pick
as
part
of
the
parking
study.
So
I
know
the
project
team
will
refine
the
approach
based
upon
the
feedback
here.
F
Kirsty
are
there
other
questions
that
have
been
coming
in
in
the
chat
I've
been
trying
to
track
them?
If
there
are
specifics
that
I
can
speak.
E
E
We
had
a
question
about
when
the
parking
studies
happening
if
there
is
an
impact
on
the
flow
of
traffic,
if
there's
any
kind
of
signage
in
the
area,
basically
how
it
will
work
once
people
are
on
the
ground,
doing
the
study.
F
Yeah,
that's
that's
a
great
question,
so
the
parking
study
itself
won't
be
won't
cause
any
disruptions
to
the
traffic
flow
or
the
traffic
circulation.
F
That'll,
be
you
know
just
teams
of
volunteers
going
out
walking
on
the
sidewalks
and
documenting
the
cars
that
are
parked
in
existing
spaces,
so
the
parking
study
itself
will
not
disrupt
the
traffic
flow.
You
know
that
said
you
know
we
do
want
to
do
the
parking
study
on
a
day
that
is
kind
of
Representative
of
a
typical
weekday
along
the
Blue
Hill
Avenue,
Corridor
and
I
also
know,
there's
a
comment
that
sometimes
there
are
holidays
and
festivals
that
that
happen
as
well.
F
So
you
know
we
definitely
want
to
get
a
balanced
picture
of
data,
so
you
know
we'll
pick
up
some
dates
that
kind
of
help
capture
all
of
those
things.
Hopefully.
A
So
much
odd,
so
there's
a
question
one
more
about
the
parking
study
which
is,
is
the
traffic
study
tracking
the
number
of
cars
not
originating
in
Mattapan,
Dorchester
or
Roxbury.
F
That's
a
that's
a
great
question
from
Ms
Fatima
Ali
Salam
I,
see
that
in
in
the
chat.
Thank
you
for
that.
I
know.
This
is
something
that
comes
up
a
lot.
You
know
where,
where
are
people
coming
from
and
where
are
they
parking
as
it
stands?
I
don't
think
we're
planning
to
track
the
the
vehicle
origin.
That
requires
a
pretty
high
level
of
of
data
analysis
that
involves
needing
to
take
the
full
license
plate
information
and
then
running
that
with
the
RMV.
F
So
that's
not
currently
part
of
our
plan
to
do
that
right
now
that
that
that's
kind
of
a
dip,
an
additional
layer
of
complication
Beyond,
you
know
just
being
able
to
go
out
and
capture
some
partial
information
along
the
corridor,
but
you
know
we
can
certainly
continue
that
discussion
if
folks
feel
like
it
would
be
helpful
to
do
so.
A
Yeah-
and
so
if
you
have
sort
of
opinions
about
that,
we
can
part
of
this
meeting
is
to
present
to
you
all
sort
of
how
we're
thinking
about
the
parking
study
and
if
you
think
that
there
are
really
good
reasons
to
make
sure
we're
looking
at
vehicle
origin,
that's
something
we
can
do.
They're
sort
of-
and
we've
talked
about
this
a
bit
tonight,
but
there's
really
three
aspects
of
a
parking
study,
so
there's
how
many
spaces
are
filled
at
any
given
time.
A
What
is
the
rate
of
turnover?
So
how
long
is
each
individual
car
occupying
one
of
those
spaces
and
then
the
third
that
you
you
can
look
at,
but
it
involves
this
extra
layer
of
data
that
Audi
mentioned.
Is
you
know
where
are
people
originating
from
we
have
like
prior
to
the
pandemic?
Even
if
I'm
correct
Charlotte,
we
tried
to
do
an
analysis
in
Mattapan
Square,
but
there
were
some
sensitivities
around
collecting
license
plates,
and
so
we
ended
up
removing
the
origin
piece
from
that
parking
study.
K
Yeah
there
there
are
other
ways
of
doing
it
using
street
light
you
can
sort
of
generally
get,
but
that's
for
like
moving
Vehicles,
so
flows
where
they're
originating
from
and
arriving
but
yeah.
This
I
think
you
know
we
should
probably
talk
more
about
what
it
would
take
and
if,
if
we
could
take
a
look
for
the
parked
cars.
A
Absolutely
I'm
going
to
Pivot
back
to
people
and
their
questions,
but
if
you
have
more
thoughts,
please
put
them
in
the
chat
or
you
can
always
email
us
or
call
that
number
Maya.
Maybe
if
you
could
put
those
into
the
chat,
so
people
have
them
close
by.
That
would
be
great
and
I'm
going
to
ask
Mr
Russell
to
unmute.
A
L
You
I'm
good
yeah
I,
noticed
meetings
about
the
parking
and
the
parking
is
a
huge
concern
of
mine,
because
I
live
in
Mattapan
Square
I
live
in
Rexford
Street
and
map
10
square,
which
is
right
across
from
Saint
Angeles
and
as
we
stand
right
now
with
parking
I
think
there's
plenty
of
parking,
Atlanta,
Penn,
Square,
I,
think
a
huge
problem
is
people
need
to
park
in
front
of
where
they're
going,
which
causes
double
parking
trip.
L
I
see
it
all
the
time
because,
like
I,
said,
I
live
in
Madison
Square
I
walk
these
streets
every
day
like
I,
can
Trump
your
studies,
but
where
we
stand
right
now
with
that
Health
Center
ever
since
that
Health
Center
was
built
all
the
people
that
work
in
that
Health
Center
they
Park
on
my
street.
You
know
people
that
go
to
Saint
Angeles
Church
they
Park
on
my
street.
L
So
if
there's
any
like
ideas
of
like
taking
parking
away
in
Mattapan
Square,
that
would
be
a
huge
issue
for
the
side
streets
in
the
area
and
I.
Just
don't
I
I'm,
not
I'm,
not
a
huge
fan,
I'm
staunchly
against
it
and
I
just
wanted
to
add
too
I.
Like
again
I
know
this
is
about
parking,
but
right
now,
I'm
an
electrician,
so
I
work
all
over
the
city.
I
work
everywhere.
So
like
the
T,
isn't
like
a
huge.
L
It
can
take
me
like
10
minutes
to
get
to
Morton
Street,
because
I
got
to
stop
at
every
light
and
that's
the
problem
for
the
buses
too.
Just
this
morning,
when
I
got
to
I
call
it
Dudley
but
Nubian
station,
we
get
to
the
light
the
it
was
5
50.
I
gotta
be
at
work
at
six,
so
I
gotta
do
a
power
walk
when
I
get
to
Dudley
station.
But
when
we
got
to
that
light,
the
light
just
turned
red
I
looked
up
at
the
time
it
was
5
50..
L
L
You
know
things
like
that:
plus
enforcement
of
parking,
just
like
Mr
Clarence,
said
if
we
can
work
on
these
things,
we
wouldn't
even
have
have
to
have
a
conversation
about
redesigning
blue
hill
lab
and
doing
all
this
unnecessary
stuff
and
talking
about
we
only
had
we
don't
have
money
in
the
budget
to
do
this,
but
we
have
money
in
the
budget
too,
to
do
that,
like
just
small
small
steps
can
go
such
a
long
way
instead
of
and
then
we
don't
have
to
like.
L
A
Thank
you
so
much
for
speaking
up
thanks
for
coming
tonight.
So
a
couple
of
things
there
I
100,
appreciate
your
comment
about
side
streets,
so
we
definitely
are
willing
able
to
make
sure
that
the
parking
studies
that
we
do
include
not
just
cars
on
Blue,
Hill
Avenue,
but
looking
at
some
of
those
side
streets
as
well,
and
you
can
see
that
even
with
the
pilot
we're
running
we're,
including
Old
Road
and
some
of
the
abiding
side
streets,
because
we've
heard
that
from
our
Community
Education
partners
and
from
other
folks.
A
If
that's
something
people
are
concerned
about.
So
thank
you
for
explicitly
mentioning
your
street
we'll
make
sure
to
write
that
down.
If
you
want
to
put
it
in
the
chat
just
to
guarantee
that
we've
got
it
100
correct.
That
would
be
great
as
one
of
the
areas
where
folks
are
interested
in
a
parking
study
being
looked
at
to
the
point
of
coordinating
the
signals.
We
have
come
a
long
way
in
terms
of
how
we're
able
to
control
our
signals.
A
The
city
of
Boston
benefits
from
having
a
traffic
Management
Center,
where
we
can
really
sort
of
observe
in
real
time
how?
Our
signals
are
working.
My
colleagues
on
the
traffic
management
team
do
that,
and
this
is
helpful
because
we've
heard
a
couple
of
times
from
a
number
of
different
folks
about
coordinated
signals
and
so
I'm
realizing
in
real
time.
G
Thank
you
very
much
so
I
I
did
make
a
comment
in
the
chat
about
you
know
not
cons.
You
know
not
focusing
so
much
on
ticketing.
I
do
wholeheartedly
agree
with
enforcement,
especially
at
bus
stops
at
Double
parking
and
triple
parking
causes.
You
know
a
lot
of
issues,
but
I
I
think
we
also
need
to
consider.
You
know
why
are
people
double
parking
and
triple
parking
because
there
are
no
spaces
in
certain
pockets
of
Blue
Hill
Avenue
and
we
experience
it
in
in
the
Garrison
Charter
neighborhood
right.
G
But
my
concern
is
for
the
businesses
there
is
a
business
there's
there's
a
couple
along
Google
app
that
I
can
no
longer
frequent
because
there
is
never
anywhere
to
buy
one.
One
is
Cafe.
Juicer
I
mean
I,
absolutely
love
that
location,
but
there's
never
anywhere
to
park
and
to
Mr
Russell's
comment:
I'm,
not
sure
you
know.
Whenever
I
travel
to
Mattapan
Square,
there
is
never
anywhere
to
park
in
the
Square
itself,
so
you
know
I.
G
Would
it
and
also
I
think
Mike
hosu
brought
the
point
up
about
residential
buildings
along
Blue,
Hill
Ave,
where
people
have
cars
right
and
where
are
they
going
to
park?
So
I'm,
not
sure
if
there
are,
if
they're
Apostles
in
in
the
city's
real
estate
stock
Stockyard,
you
know
where
they
could
create
more
pocket,
not
really
sure
about
that.
G
But
I
think
we
need
to
consider
additional
parking,
not
taking
away
parking
but
adding
more
opportunities
in
in
focusing
on
our
businesses,
because
you
know
our
businesses
are
going
to
suffer
right.
If
we
take
away
pocket.
That's
why
people
are
done
for
watching
right,
I
mean
I,
wouldn't
double
pack,
because
I
know
you
know,
that's
that's
a
violation,
but
you
know
then
we
don't
want
to
over
ticket
people.
So
they
cannot.
You
know,
pay
for
their
products,
so
there
has
to
be
a
balance
and
the
other.
G
The
last
point
I
want
to
make
is
and
I
think
you
know.
Lewis
made
this
point
about
different
areas
in
this
in
the
city
right
now,
West
Roxbury,
you
know,
I
was
I,
wasn't
double
parking,
but
I
was
just
waiting.
G
I
was
waiting
to
park
and-
and
you
know,
Cruiser
drove
right
behind
me-
I
wasn't
even
there
for
10
10
seconds
now
ink
block,
they
do
not
enforce
double
parking
there
at
all.
There
is
double
parking
there
all
day
long
and
there
is
no
enforcement
and
I
and
I
I
travel
down
there
all
the
time.
So
I'm
not
sure
why
the
police
department
is
not
the
Boston
Police
Department
is
not
enforcing,
but
I
think.
We
also
need
to
extend
that
to
the
Transit
Police
right
they
have
the
authority
to
ticket
at
bus
stops.
G
You
know,
because
that's
that's
just
that's
a
non-negotiable
at
bus
stops,
so
everyone
really
kind
of
needs
to
step
up
and
and
we
need
to
work
together
but,
like
I,
said
I
I
just
think
we
really
have
to
ensure
that
our
businesses
do
not
suffer
because,
as
you
saw
in
the
poll
55
of
the
people
who
engaged
in
that
poll
dry
right,
are
we
willing
to
give
up
our
cause.
I
know
I'm.
So
thank
you
for
thank
you
for
having
this
giving
me
this
opportunity.
C
It
dovetails
with
some
of
the
comments
from
Fatima
lisalam
about
where
the,
where
folks
are
coming
from,
because
if,
if
there,
if
it
is
indeed
the
case
that
people
are
coming
from
outside
of
the
neighborhood
and
parking
all
day
long,
then
there
there
are
ways
to
remedy
that
that
actually
increase
the
number
of
parking
spots
without
actually
literally
increasing
them,
and
so
I
think
what
we
want
to
be
looking
at
all
of
these
different
ways
of
understanding
what
the
situation
is
and
ways
that
we
can
address
it
and
I
as
ADI
said.
C
That's
not
in
the
first
part
of
this
parking
study,
but
it
certainly
should
be
recorded
as
something
that
is
of
interest
and
could
be
pertinent
to
Future
studies
and
future
parts
of
this
project.
I
just
want
to
do
a
quick
time
check.
We've
got
five
minutes
left
in
the
meeting,
so
Mr
Lisa
before
we
take
your
question
and
Mr
Murphy
just
to
see
if
there's
anyone
who
hasn't
yet
spoken.
C
Who
wants
to
ask
a
question
or
share
a
comment
and
if
not,
then
we'll
go
to
YouTube
Last
and
then
end
the
meeting
at
eight
o'clock.
So
other
questions
or
comments
from
other
folks.
So.
M
Yes,
it
it
wasn't
really
a
question,
but
it
is
a
question
and
it's
in
reference
to
Mr
Russell,
who
stated
that
the
health
center
employees
Park
on
Rexford
Street
they
there
should
not
be
Health
Center
employees
parking
on
your
street,
because
the
health
center
pays
for
parking
at
Jubilee
for
our
employees.
So
I
think
it
might
be
a
combination
of
people
who
are
not
from
within
the
city
who
use
the
commuter
rail
who
use
any
spot.
That's
available.
M
And
you
think
that's
another
when
the
question
came
up
also
about
where
traffic
is
originating
from
from
Fatima
I.
Think
that's
that's
another
reason
why
that
question
was
asked
because
a
lot
of
those
vehicles
that
are
parked
are
not
residents
of
Mattapan
or
employees
within
the
businesses
around
the
the
square.
A
Thank
you,
Miss
granola,
for
for
letting
us
know
about
that,
and
also
for
the
comment
about
origin
or
where
people
are
driving
in
from
we're
hearing
loud
and
clear
that
that's
definitely
something
folks
want
to
make
sure
we're
looking
at
in
the
future.
So
we
will
make
sure
that
that
also
makes
it
into
the
notes
and
sort
of
as
we're
thinking
about
where
the
next
parking
studies
can
happen.
As
an
output
of
this
meeting
I
see
that
there's
yes,
thank
you
so
I
see
that
there
are
three
hands
raised.
A
Mr,
kozu
I
know
we
haven't
heard
from
you
tonight
yet
so
I
think.
If
it's
all
right,
we've
got
three
minutes
and
we'll
end
with
you:
Mr
Elisa
Mr,
Russell
Murphy.
If
you
have
any
other
comments
or
questions
things
you
want
to
talk
about,
please
feel
free
to
to
email
or
we
can
follow
up
at
another
time
if
you'd
prefer
to
talk
by
phone
or
anything
so
Mr
kozu.
N
I
think
the
key
thing
about
your
parking
study
must
also
include
highly
residential
areas,
which
is
in
Grove
Hall
from
Columbia
Road
into
Warren
Street.
We
have
several
multi-unit
apartment
buildings
along
that
stretch
and
we
don't
want
to
be
in
a
situation
what
happened
in
Columbus
Ave,
where
people
lost
their
parking
in
front
of
their
building.
Now
they
have
nowhere
to
apart
to
unload
and
unload
their
groceries
in
front
of
their
buildings.
N
So
I
think
that
your
parking
study
not
well
it's
good
to
look
at
what's
happening
on
the
commercial,
and
it's
also
important
to
look
at
the
fact
that
we
have
significant
multi-unit
apartment
buildings
with
no
off-street
parking
that
utilize
that
depend
upon
blue
Avenue
for
their
parking
to
for
a
variety
of
different
things,
and
also
to
the
point
that
there
are
a
lot
of
seniors
a
lot
of
folks
who
are
wheelchair
bound
or
have
other
challenges
that
really
need
to
have
close
parking
nearby
as
as
well.
N
So
as
you
follow
through
on
that,
and
then
you
have
to
look
at
the
hours
on
this
as
well,
because
the
hours
are
very
for
our
residents,
who
have
a
variety
of
different
needs,
a
variety
of
different
job
situations
and
so
forth.
So.
A
Thank
you,
Mr
kozu
I
really
appreciate
that
you
had
because
we
so
often
think
about
loading
and
unloading
as
something
that
happens
by
businesses
as
they
receive
deliveries.
Or
you
know
people
come
to
pick
up
takeout,
but
importantly,
loading
and
unloading
also
happens
in
front
of
residential
buildings
just
as
much
so
we'll.
A
Definitely
as
we
continue
working
on
this
we'll
be
reaching
out
to
you,
Mr,
kozu
and
others
to
talk
about
that
point
too,
about
making
sure
that,
when
we're
doing
the
parking
studies,
we're
also
looking
at
the
correct
times,
because
to
your
point,
the
sort
of
activity
around
residential
areas
might
look
very
different
and
then
it
also
depends
on
large
part
about
the
types
of
jobs
people
have
in
the
area.
A
You
know
if
they're
working
late
shifts
those
sorts
of
things
are
things
we
want
to
make
sure
we're
attuned
to
with
that
it
is
8.
P.M
I
just
want
to
thank
everybody
again
for
coming
tonight.
I
really
appreciate
that
these
meetings
get
good
attendance
from
folks
in
the
community.
It
is
so
helpful.
We
could
not
go
through
this
process
without
you
and
without
your
feedback.
A
If
you
have
additional
thoughts,
I
know
that
there's
a
lot
of
information
we
presented
tonight,
please
please
feel
free
to
reach
out
by
phone
or
by
email
or
come
see
us
tomorrow
in
Grove
Hall
and
we'll
be
there
every
Wednesday
10
to
12
through
the
end
of
May,
we'll
extend
beyond
then
if
we
need
to
and
I'm
really
looking
forward
to
continuing
many
of
the
conversations
that
were
started
tonight.
