A
A
D
Good
evening,
everyone
jeffrey
alexis
principal
civil
engineer
with
the
public
works
department,
I'm
also
the
project
manager
for
the
cummins
highway
project.
A
All
right
and
the
goals
for
today's
meeting
are
to
introduce
you
to
the
mayor's
office
of
arts
and
culture
and
to
share
the
many
different
ways
that
public
art
happens
in
the
city
to.
A
Just
for
a
moment
there
we
go
now
I'll.
Kick
it
back
to
jeff
to
do
our
little
recap
of
the
comments
highway
project.
D
Thanks
so
much
appreciate
it
so
just
to
jump
in
just
want
to
give
you
guys
an
update
on
where
we're
at
for
cummins
highway
and
what
we're
doing
we
have
started
the
design
for
cummins
highway,
but
I
mean
as
we
as
as
we've
stated
previously,
we
cannot
do
a
design
without
your
input.
D
If
you
have
any
questions
or
comments,
something
that
you
want
to
bring
to
our
attention
or
something
that's
specifically
pertaining
to
either
you
mean
to
where
you
live
in
front
of
your
home
or
your
street,
specifically
along
cummins
highway.
Let
us
know
and
that's
something
that
we
can
take
a
look
at
and
incorporating
in
the
design
this
project
it
comes
highway.
This
design
will
shape
what
commons
will
be
for
the
next
70
years.
D
So
why
are
we
co?
Why
are
we
planning
on
reconstructing
cummins
highway?
Cummins
highway
hasn't
been
updated
since
the
spring
of
1955.,
and
what
you
can
see
right
now
in
this
image
is
that
streetcars
ran
along
cummins,
which
were
removed
in
1953
to
make
room
for
cars
and
essentially
what
we
see
with
cummins
now
with
the
four
lanes
in
each
direction.
D
So
for
their
commercial
reconstruction
project,
what
we
plan
on
doing
is
completely
rebuilding
the
street.
That
includes
reconstructing
the
sidewalks,
proposing
a
new
curb
street
lights
traffic
signals
along
the
corridor,
we're
going
to
be
paving
the
roadway.
So
that's
nice
and
smooth
and
not.
B
D
Currently
is
right
now,
but
then
we're
also
gonna
be
replacing
or
currently
replacing
the
utilities
along
the
court,
as
you
can
see,
national
grid
is
actually
still
out
there.
This
project
has
been
budgeted
for
approximately
24
million
dollars,
so
this
is
a
huge
investment
that
the
city
is
making
to
make
these
safety
improvements,
and
also
these
are
beautifying
and
reinvesting
in
this
neighborhood.
D
So
one
of
the
things
that
we
take
a
look
at
in
regards
to
all
our
projects
throughout
the
city
of
boston
is
to
advance
advance
the
goals
of
cobas
in
2030..
D
In
order
to
do
that,
what
we
look
at
doing,
what
we
look
at
proposing
for
our
projects
and
for
our
streets
is
improved
safety.
We
want
to
take
a
look
at
ways
that
we
can
reduce
emissions
and
ultimately,
we
want
to
invest
in
the
communities
to
achieve
equity
and
access
to
our
opportunities
I
mean
so.
The
number
of
of
neighborhoods
throughout
the
city
of
boston
have
been
divested
in
the
past,
including
the
american
neighborhood,
so
we're
looking
at
ways
to
basically
make
those
improvements
in
the
city-wide,
not
just
in
certain
neighborhoods.
D
So,
in
order
to
accomplish
those
goals,
we
also
look
at
partnering
partnering
up
with
other
city
departments,
to
advance
our
collective
plans.
What
we
try
to
do
is
inform
residents
about
the
work
that's
going
around
the
city
so
that
you
can
stay
involved
and,
of
course
I
mean
it
improves
our
collaboration
with
our
work
to
achieve
not
only
the
city's
goals
but
also
neighborhood
goals.
D
As
I
mentioned,
collaboration
is
a
huge
part
in
achieving
these
goals.
We
want
to
bring
awareness
and
participation
into
the
efforts
that
you
care
about.
So,
as
I
mentioned,
we
do
want
residents
in
the
neighborhoods
to
reach
out
to
us
and
let
us
know
what
it
is
and
what
what
improvements
do
you
want
to
see
in
your
neighborhood?
D
Ultimately,
what
we
look
to
do
is
confirm
your
vision
to
the
future
of
our
projects,
as
well
as
our
visions
that
we
have
for
the
city
of
boston.
C
Thanks
jeff,
as
jen
noted
in
the
introductions
I'm
here
tonight
to
talk
about
the
office
of
arts
and
culture
and
the
boston
art
commission
share
some
of
the
different
ways.
New
public
art
is
created
in
boston
and
to
hear
your
thoughts
about
public
art
around
the
city
and
your
vision
for
the
future
cultural
life
around
cummins,
highway.
C
The
chief
of
the
mayor's
office
of
arts
and
culture
is
cara,
elliot
ortega,
who
is
in
the
top
left
corner
of
the
screen,
and
my
colleagues
amber
torres
and
sharon
amaguni
round
out
the
public
art
team.
But
we
have
a
lot
of
other
people
in
the
office
because
we
do
a
lot
of
work
aside
from
public
art.
C
C
C
Regarding
public
art,
specifically,
this
slide
gives
an
overview
of
the
work
that
we
do,
which
is
broadly
divided
into
commissioning
projects
and
what
we
call
collections
projects
commissioning
projects
shown
on.
The
left
include:
city-initiated,
artworks,
supporting
community
and
artist-initiated
projects
and
programs
like
the
transformative
public
art
program
and
the
paint
box
program.
It's
a
favorite
program
collections
means
all
the
artworks
that
are
owned
by
the
city
of
boston,
most
of
the
collections
projects
involve
maintenance,
conservation
and
repairs
and
there's
also
a
lot
of
administrative
work.
C
C
C
C
The
percent
for
art
program
was
an
initiative
of
the
mayor's
office
of
arts
and
culture
and
was
a
result
of
the
city's
cultural
plan.
Boston
creates
the
program
demonstrates
the
city's
commitment
to
sustainable
funding
for
the
arts
by
setting
aside
one
percent
of
the
city's
annual
capital,
borrowing,
borrowing
budget
for
the
commissioning
of
permanent
public
art
for
capital
projects
beyond
integrating
public
art
in
city
capital
projects.
C
The
percent
for
art
program
engages
other
city
agencies,
like
our
colleagues
in
transportation
and
public
works
and
municipal
partners
on
best
public
art
practices
and
demonstrates
the
lasting
value
of
high
quality
public
art
across
the
city,
and
on
this
slide
you
can
see
some
artworks
that
were
commissioned
and
installed
in
the
past
year.
These
were
all
percent
for
art,
funded
projects
and
there's
a
lot
of
text
on
the
bottom,
but
I'll
just
go
through
it
really
quickly.
C
Three
artworks
in
order
by
destiny,
palmer,
maya
or
daily
lilly
she
and
crystal
by
wegner,
and
those
were
all
installed
here
in
city
hall
in
the
elevator
lobbies,
then
below
going
clockwise
across
there's
an
artwork
by
monica
bravo
called
unes
mundus,
which
is
in
the
new
east
boston
police
station
at
the
bottom,
is
r-o-x-b-u-r-y
by
joe
wardwell,
with
nikia
hill
and
the
826
boston
y
lab
writers
at
the
roxbury
branch
of
the
boston,
public
library
and
then
the
wonderful
bronze
chairs
over
there.
C
Thank
you
that
is
within
wep
by
matthew,
hintzman,
and
it's
located
at
the
jamaica,
plain
branch
of
the
boston,
public
library
and
curtis
hall,
bcyf
campus.
C
The
transformative
public
art
program
was
developed
over
time
and
I
actually
have
a
little
bit
of
different
information
than
is
on
the
slide.
C
Originally,
there
was
a
program
called
pop-up
dudley
connections
and
nubian
square
in
2014,
followed
in
2017
by
quincy
corridor
grove
hall
and
that
project
included,
chanel,
thurville's
affirmation,
station,
rob,
gibbs
breed
life
and
other
beloved
murals,
and
over
time
that
was
officially.
Those
programs
were
officially
organized
into
the
transformative
public
art
program.
C
C
Others
have
been
completed.
I
am
not
going
to
do
that
to
the
interpreters
again,
but
you
can
see
all
the
the
credits
for
these
wonderful
artworks
are
on
the
bottom.
F
C
C
This
year's
paint
box
application
has
closed
and
we're
looking
forward
to
seeing
up
to
100
newly
painted
boxes
across
the
city
by
the
end
of
this
painting
season,
and
you
can
see
samples
on
the
right.
There
are
so
many
more
that
we
could
have
shared
and
it's
open
every
year
or
it
has
been
shouldn't,
make
promises,
but.
C
So
much
of
the
amazing
public
art
in
our
city
is
the
result
of
the
hard
work,
generosity
and
dedication
of
community
members
like
granola
cassandra,
cato
lewis
and
barbara
cricklow.
What
I
think
I
might
have
seen
here
tonight-
and
this
is
a
pathway
that,
while
challenging
in
some
ways,
has
led
to
the
creation
of
some
of
the
city's
most
iconic
past
works
and
future
monuments.
C
We
have
dedicated
community
groups
to
like
the
veterans
and
friends
of
gordeen
park,
to
thank
for
the
justice,
edward
o,
gordin
and
african-american
veterans
memorial,
which
you
can
see
in
process
in
the
bottom
right
of
the
screen
and
the
frederick
douglas
sculpture
committee.
For
the
frederick
douglass
memorial,
both
of
which,
which
is
shown
on
the
lower
left
hand,
side,
including
an
image
of
douglas
plaza
designed
by
sasaki,
associates.
C
G
Hello,
thank
you
so
much
for
that
overview.
Sarah!
It's
really
incredible.
All
of
the
things
that
your
team
works
on
and
makes
possible
for
the
rest
of
us
to
enjoy.
G
So
I
first
want
to
remind
people
that
if
you
have
a
favorite
work
of
public
art,
sculpture,
painting
whatever
form
it
may
be,
please
put
it
in
the
chat.
I
know
that
both
jen
and
charlotte
have
mentioned
theirs,
but
no
one
else
has
jumped
in
yet
would
love
to
hear
more
about
the
things
that
you
enjoy
in
the
city
and
while
you're
thinking
on
that
or
putting
in
your
questions,
we
would
love
to
hear
more
about.
You
know
what
you
believe
makes
cummins
highway
and
the
neighborhoods
nearby
unique.
G
This
is
really
important.
As
you
know,
we
start
thinking
about
arts
potential
arts
projects
in
in
the
area.
So
if
you
have
thoughts
that
you
want
to
share
aloud,
you
can
put
your
hand
up,
and
I
will
call
on
you
otherwise
feel
free
to
put
your
responses
in
the
chat.
G
Well
I'll
start
just
because
stephanie
one
of
my
favorite
things
about
coming
to
matapan
more
generally
and
some
locations
that
are
not
necessarily
on
cummins
highway,
but
commons
highway
gets
me.
There
is
the
the
food
and
the
culture
of
food
in
the
neighborhood.
You
know
getting
some
patties
or
some
specialty
pastries
from
a
haitian
bakery.
G
G
So,
cultural
and
so
like
open
to
everyone
to
enjoy,
and
so
that's
something
that,
like,
I
really
think,
is
unique
in
this
neighborhood,
and
I
know
whenever
I
think
about
going
there.
I
kind
of
start
salivating
a
little
at
the
thought
of
some
of
the
food
that
I
might
encounter.
B
G
We
could
paint
some
of
the
yeah
like
the
street
control
boxes
or
something
with
different
foods.
I
know
we
have
some
downtown
that
are
like
candies
or
donuts
and
stuff
like
that.
G
Maybe
we
could
find
some
ways
to
incorporate
that
down
here.
A
Okay,
one
of
my
favorite
paint
boxes
is
the
the
chocolate
factory
one
in
asheville,
so
yeah.
C
G
Maybe
yeah
we
can
throw
that
one
up
there.
E
C
And
I
can
give
everyone
a
little
context.
What
we
are
thinking
about
here,
you
know,
is
that
art
and
culture
are
so
obviously
there's
so
much
about
place
and
about
how
people
are
using
space
and
how
people
are
experiencing
the
public
realm
and
that
can
really
influence
the
kind
of
art
that
you
see.
Obviously
I
mean-
maybe
I'm
just
stating
obvious
things
here,
but
you
know
oh
stephanie.
C
G
Yeah,
I
don't
think
it
is,
but
yeah
I
used
to
wait
for
the
bus
over
there.
So
every
day
I'd
be
like
get
to
see
my
favorite
painting.
C
But
I
am
really
I
would
love
to
hear
from
people
about
how
they
envision
themselves,
using
this
this
space,
once
it's
complete,
what
would
be
different
in
the
future
to
what
you're
doing
now
sort
of
what's
your
ideal?
What's
your
your
vision
for
the
cultural
life
around
this
corridor.
H
See
you
all
right,
I'm
going
to
back
up
a
little
bit.
I
love
the
boxes
and
being
able
to
see
them
throughout
the
city.
I'd
love
to
see
some
boxes
that
depict
children
because
a
lot
of
them.
H
I
know
that
the
artists
that
are
probably
putting
them
together,
the
majority
of
them-
are
adults,
but
just
some
of
the
playfulness
that
will
happen
with
kids
to
remind
folks
that
we
do
have
children
in
our
neighborhoods
and
being
able
to
see
them
using
spaces
differently
and
have
those
depicted
on
that,
and
then
I
can
go
ahead
and
answer
the
second
question.
I
will
continue
or
eventually
be
able
to
use
my
bicycle
on
cummins
highway.
H
So
I'd
love
to
see
some
images
along
comments
highway
so
that
we
can
start
thinking
differently
and
how
you
know
this
project
is
about
having
people
be
able
to
move
in
spaces
the
way
they
wish
to
and
to
be
able
to
do
that
safely.
H
Some
interpretive
kind
like
the
type
of
trees
we
have,
or
maybe
even
some
of
the
volcanic
ash.
You
know
I
have
neighbors
that
have
huge
rocks
in
their
backyard
and
I'm
always
fascinated
and
wanting
to
go
back
and
like
ask
them
about
that,
but
just
some
of
that
historical
context
as
well,
because
people
may
wonder
why.
Why
would
you
get
a
house
or
there's
a
rock
in
front
of
it?
Well
that
was
there
before
us
or
things
like
that,
some
of
that
education
stuff
pulling
out
some
of
the
information
about
the
river.
H
What
are
the
type
of
fish
that
were
in
the
river
so
being
able
to
use
them
for
educational
opportunities
would
be
great
one
time
charlotte
and
I
were
doing
a
walk
through
on
beluga
lav
and
the
fish
market.
That's
right
there
in
the
square.
Has
this
really
cool
edging
on
the
top?
H
It
would
be
nice
to
maybe
have
some
mural
next
to
that,
that's
kind
of
like
fish
related
and
so
just
having
people
and
giving
them
the
opportunity
to
look
at
the
architecture
and
things
along
in
matapan
and
in
all
the
different
neighborhoods
differently
and
have
them
have
an
opportunity
to
be
able
to
like
come
up
with.
What
would
you
like
to
see
on
this
wall
kind
of
stuff?
I'm
also
fascinated
with
the
age
of
a
lot
of
the
buildings.
H
You
know
when
you
see
that
it
was
like
you
know,
it'll,
say
a.d
19
or
the
bridges
to
see
how
old
they
are.
It
may
not
be
a
great
thing
to
know
that
a
bridge
is
as
old
as
it
is,
but
at
least
being
able
just
I'm
always
fascinated
by
that.
So.
E
H
I
don't
know
if
there's
a
way
just
to
kind
of
highlight
that
that
that
doesn't
need
to
be
like
necessarily
a
mural
project,
but
just
add
a
little
bit
of
flair
to
that
I
think,
might
be
kind
of
cool,
and
even
why
not
put
that
the
fairmont
line
is
here
at
blue
lab.
You
know
make
those
spaces
really
pop,
because
in
my
conversations
with
folks
they
don't
necessarily
realize
that
that
is
an
entrance
and
especially
the
one
on
cummins
highway,
since
the
stop
is
called
ave.
H
G
Okay,
miss
barbara
has
raised
her
hand.
I
Yeah,
I
have
a
question
back
in
the
60s
when
a
lot
of
the
black
artists
have
been
murals
posted
like
and
on
martin
luther
king,
near
the
ymca
and
a
few
other
places
on
blue
hill
avenue.
I
Back
then,
my
concern
is:
is
that
some
of
the
new
murals
that
we're
going
to
put
up?
How
do
how
will
they
be
maintained?
Because
I
know
two
of
my
friends,
dana
chandler
and
gary
rickson?
They
they
were
some
of
the
masterminds
for
some
of
those
murals
back
in
the
60s.
I
But
my
concern
is
to
maintain
them
so
that
we
keep
these
these
beautiful
pieces
of
art
for
some
longevity,
not
so
that
they
disappear.
So
is
there
any
maintenance?
I
mean
management
to
maintain
them,
so
you
know
like,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
somebody
I
don't
know
who
did
the
mural,
but
is
that
the
roxbury
center
for
the
performing
arts
right
on
blue
hill
avenue,
there's
another
mural
there
and
periodically
it
has
to
be
redone
right.
C
So
it
depends
in
part
on
how
the
project
is
commissioned.
The
city
does
have
some
conservation
and
maintenance
funding
in
the
past
before
my
time
with
the
office.
I
know
that
we
helped
fund
refresh
of
oh,
my
gosh.
It's
right
in
nubian
square.
There's
a
mural
right
faces.
I
believe
the
title
is
faced
of
dudley
back
from
the
previous
name,
so
sometimes
murals
do
need
to
be
refreshed.
It's
a
little
bit
complicated
when
they're
on
private
property
a
lot
of
times
that's
up
to
the
property
owner
to
the
artist.
C
If
they
want
to
do
it,
I
will
say
that
materials
now
are
better.
I
am
no
expert,
but
there
are,
you
know
better
paints
and
uv
protectants,
and
so
the
longevity
is
generally
better
with
the
newer
murals
than
with
some
of
the
the
older
murals
and
people
understand
surfaces
more.
You
know
it
depends
on
prep
those
types
of
things.
C
So
that's
a
long
and
rambly
way
of
saying
it
all
really
depends,
but
for
city
commission
murals
we
consider
those
to
be
long-term
artworks,
we
don't
consider
them
short-term
or
temporary,
and
part
of
that
is,
is
maintaining
them.
I
So
there
the
city
is,
does
have
a
fund.
C
We
have
conservation
and
maintenance
funds,
not
a
lot,
but
we
do
have
some.
We
actually
just
conserved
three
sculptures
for
actually
in
the
past
week,
which
is
something
we
hadn't
been
able
to
do
for
a
long
time.
We
didn't
have
set
aside
funding
for
maintenance
and
conservation
of
artworks,
so
we're
slowly
working
through
the
collection.
We
had
a
collection
assessment
done
on
all
the
sculptures
in
the
collection
over
the
past
year
in
terms
of
murals.
It's
a
little
bit
different.
C
We
wouldn't
go
with
the
same
conservation
group,
but
we
can
hire
artists
to
do
refreshes,
but
it
does
depend
on
if
it's
city
property,
you
know.
Typically,
the
city
is
not
going
to
necessarily
be
able
to
fund
things
on
private
property
and
there's
a
lot
of
murals
out
there.
So
there
is
with
the
works.
We
commission,
we
have
an
the
bac,
the
boston
art
commission
maintains
care
of
any
works
in
our
collection,
and
that
includes
murals
that
we've
commissioned.
I
Okay,
now
that
you
said
that
many
of
the
murals
that
I've
seen
even
the
ones
that
are
on
blue
hill
avenue-
that's
not
city
property,
it's
not
so,
in
other
words,
there's
a
possibility.
We
may
lose
these.
C
I
mean
it's
always
a
possibility
with
artworks
on
private
property
it
that
is
one
of
the
risks
of
murals
on
privately
owned
buildings.
Is
that
that's
that's
privately
owned
property?
I
would
have
to
know
the
specific
mural
to
to
understand
what
the
exact
situation
would
be.
I
Well,
there's
one
and
I'm
I'm
not
sure
the
name
of
the
street,
it's
on
blue
hill
avenue
and
I
remember
what
used
to
be
across
the
street
a
long
time
ago.
C
I'll
be
I'll
be
honest.
Was
it
miss
margaret
that
I
I'm
not
an
expert
in
collections
or
in
murals
care
either
I
work
a
lot
with
you
know.
I
work
primarily
with
new
works,
but
we
can
definitely
follow
up
after
this
meeting.
If.
I
I
So
and
and
that's
what
I'm
thinking
you.
I
But
and
right
now
I
don't
see
you
know
we
talk
about
cummins
highway.
I
don't
know
any
city
property
that
they
actually
own,
that
we
could
actually
consider
putting
artwork
on
if
they
don't
own.
It.
C
Yeah
and
I'm
just
seeing
in
the
in
the
chat
that
it
is
part,
it
was
part
of
the
mayor's
mural
crew,
potentially,
which
is
a
program
that
is
housed
in
parks,
and
they
have
done.
Thank
you
so
much
stephanie
for
adding
the
or
is
it
jen
stephanie.
Sorry,
I
have
too
many
windows
open
for
adding
the
information
about
the
mural
crew,
about
the
refresh
of
faces
of
dudley,
and
that
was
all
mural
crew
work,
which
is
a
city
program
and
they
paint
a
lot
of
private
property
through
agreements
with
the
property
owners.
B
I
Yeah
and
there's
one
on
the
side
on
the
right
side
of
the
building
with
a
ballet
dancer,
but
I'm
also
talking
about
the
one.
That's
further
down
near
grove
hall,
there's
one
down
near
grove
hall
and
I've
seen
it
used
quite
a
few
times
as
a
representation
of
boston
and
again
like
I
said
these
are
so.
I
That
they're
there
for
the
history
and
people
drive
through
the
neighborhood.
Some
some
people
drive
through
the
neighborhoods
just
to
see
the
artwork
and
again
yeah.
We
don't
want
to
lose
these,
and
hopefully
the
city
will
come
up
with
some
sort
of
budget
that
will
be
able
to
maintain
these
and
it
like
again,
like
I
said:
if
we
don't
own
any,
the
city
doesn't
own
anything
on
cummins
highway.
I
It's
probably
a
moot
situation
right
now
anyway,
but
I
also
noticed
down
in
roxbury,
a
friend
of
mine
did
the
dewitt
playground,
marlon
forrester,
yeah,.
I
Yeah
I
I
like
what
he
did
and
I'm
whole.
I
was
hoping
that
more
artists,
like
him,
can
do
more
of
those
things
in
the
community.
C
I
hope
so
too,
and
marlin
is
a
is
that
progress
that
project
is
still
in
process,
he's
an
amazing
artist
and
just
a
real
pleasure
to
work
with,
and
I
want
to
apologize
barbara.
I
couldn't
see
anyone
except
for
myself,
jen
and
jeff,
so
I
couldn't
see
who
I
was
talking
to
so
sorry
about
that.
I
also
want
to
say:
kenya,
I
think,
has
some
more
information.
She
has
her
hand
up.
I
don't
know
if
she
wanted
to
kenya.
If
you
want
to
talk
about
those
murals.
C
She
did
put
in
the
chat
she
said
if
it's
private
property,
you
have
to
get
permission.
You
hear
me
properly.
Yes,
great.
E
Good,
hey
guys,
that
won't
be
long.
No,
I
was
going
to
say
that
roxbury
center
for
the
performing
arts
was
done
several
years
ago,
and
I
did
put
this
in
the
chat,
but
heidi
short
from
the
mayor's
mural
crew
was
hugely
instrumental
in
getting
that
mural
completely
and
done
on
both
sides,
the
front
and
the
facade.
So
that
was
done
by
way
of
her,
and
I
remember,
miss
andrea
major
who's,
the
owner
instructor,
all
the
great
things
in
this
community
at
the
roxbury
center
for
performing
art.
E
She
wanted
that,
and
so
she
was
completely
appreciative
and
she
loves
it
and,
as
far
as
like
all
the
other
murals
that
we've
done
as
far
as
at
the
bpda,
the
whole
thing
is
getting
permission.
It
doesn't
have
to
be
a
city-owned
property
or
even
a
state-owned
property
for
there
to
be
a
girl
growing
up.
You
have
to
just
get
the
submission
from
the
property
owner.
Who
really
wants
it
to
get
it
done.
E
We've
done
that
with
the
carter
posted
management
square
on
both
sides,
we've
done
it
at
the
hazelton
hazelton
street,
the
teen
center
over
there
and
we're
trying
to
get
another
one
done
and
property
owners
are
excited.
Some
of
them
actually
really
want
it,
because
it
just
kind
of
boosts
the
visibility
of
their
building.
It
kind
of
makes
things
look
a
lot
better.
You
know
I
mean
that
whole
thing,
so
it
can't
be
done.
It's
just
a
bit
of
a
process.
C
Yeah
and
kenya,
I
think
so
much
of
it
has
to
do
with
the
property
owner
feeling
you
know
supported,
like
people
really
want
to
see
this
as
well.
We
we
are
actually
working
with
a
property
owner
in
alston
to
do
a
mural
about
the
life
and
legacy
of
rita
hester
and
that's
being
installed
this
week
and
that's
on
private
property
as
well,
but
it
did
take
us
a
little
bit
to
to
get
a
property
owner
agreement
in
place
and
once
they
felt
like
this
was
something
the
community
really
wanted.
C
The
property
owner
came
along
with
it,
so
that
can
definitely
help
when
it
comes
to
these.
These
murals,
I'm
sure,
you've
found
the
same
thing
if
people
feel
invested
and
like
they're,
connected
to
their
neighbors
and
they're
more
willing
to
provide
walls.
C
I
think-
and
I
just
want
to
go
back
to
one
of
barbara's
other
points
and
she's
talking
about
marlin,
where
right
now,
in
the
middle
of
an
artist
selection
as
well
for
the
malcolm
x
park,
basketball
courts
project
and
got
some
really
wonderful,
local
artist
teams
who
applied
so
that
will
be
an
exciting
announcement,
hopefully
in
the
near
future,
about
more
court's
work
and
it's
I
know
it's
a
different
neighborhood
we're
we're
not
talking
about
roxbury
tonight,
but
she
brought
it
up
and
it's
a
really
cool
project
to
be
doing
some
more
basketball
court
painting
all
right.
A
Understandable
there's
a
lot
of
exciting
stuff
going
on.
I
just
put
in
the
chat
more
about
the
mural
you
mentioned.
I
just
saw
the
the
press
release
that
went
out
about
spotlight,
so
it's
very.
C
To
see
that
thanks,
jen
and
and
stephanie
just
shared
as
well
maria
multani's
amazing
court
painting
piece
which
won
a
public
art
network
award,
I
think
it
was
in
2019,
which
is
really
an
incredible
quartz
project
and
she
was
an
artist
in
residence
and
forgive
me
if
I
get
any
of
my
own
office's
history
wrong.
G
Just
multitasking
over
here
yeah
I
mean,
I
will
say
I
think
you
know
from
the
project
team
side.
We're
just
really
excited
that
you're
here,
because-
and
this
has
been
something
that
people
have
brought
up
a
number
of
times
and
there's
been
a
lot
of
interest
in
you
know
how
can
more
artists
be
engaged
and
creating
art
for
the
community.
C
C
We
have
links
in
the
presentation
when
we
go
back
to
that
as
well,
and
it's
really
a
great
way
for
artists
to
learn
about
new
opportunities,
including
all
of
these
different
commissioning
opportunities.
So
everything
gets
posted
in
those
newsletters
and
follow
us
on
all
of
the
different
social
media
places.
You
know
we
can
always
do
more
outreach,
but
we
also
need
artists
to
sign
up
so
that
we
can
send
them
things
and
we're
so
interested
in
and
working
with
our
local
arts
community.
C
I
mean
that's
that's
who
we're
here
for
so,
and
I
see
barbara,
I
did
not
realize
that
marlin
is
married
as
your
nephew
in
law.
That's
amazing,.
C
All
right,
so
there
we
are
so
you
can
see.
We've
got
an
arts
in
the
city
newsletter,
which
is
general
arts,
news,
arts
events
and
then
the
artist
resource
desk
newsletter.
I
mentioned
the
artist
resource
desk
before
that
is
specifically
for
artists.
It
gives
lots
of
updates
space
artist,
space
artist,
housing
all
different
grant
opportunities
jobs.
C
Any
calls
that
we
put
out
through
our
office
as
well
as
calls
that
come
out
through
other
organizations.
You
know
non-profits
and
all
sorts
of
opportunities.
So
I
really
encourage
artists
in
particular
to
sign
up
for
that
newsletter,
because
it
will
provide
a
lot
of
different
information
and
opportunities
to
them.
A
And
if
it's
okay,
if
I
jump
into
I
just
wanted
to
share,
I
was
really
impressed
hearing
a
little
more
about
the
paint
box
program
and
how
it
was
almost
like.
Has
a
secret
agenda
like
trying
to
get
more
artists
to
be
working
with
the
city
and
like
have
a
kind
of
easier
commission
to
start
with
and
then
kind
of
helping
artists
learn
the
ropes
of
partnering.
So
I
thought
that
was
really
really
cool,
that
being
your
department.
C
That's
it's
really
an
emerging
artist
program
to
give
them
a
little
taste
of
what
it
is
to
be
working
out
in
the
public
realm
to
be
working
on
an
object
and
thinking
about
site
specificity,
which
is
really
you
know
what
neighborhood
you're
in
and
what
you're
proposing
and
how
does
it
relate,
and
it's
a
really
fun
program
for
that
and
that
jen,
you
reminded
me
that
I
think
it
was
vivian
mentioned
something
that
I
thought
was
so
interesting,
which
is
depicting
more
children
and
child-like
themes.
I
think
that's
really
great.
C
We
we
can't
have
kids
actually
involved
in
the
painting
of
the
boxes,
because
it's
not
the
safest
thing,
especially
for
children,
but
to
to
think
about
the
content
and
and
how
that
could
be.
How
that
could
be
used
to
reflect
more
about
kids
is
really
interesting
yeah.
So
thank
you
vivian
for
that
comment.
A
I
also
appreciated
vivid's
comment
about
the
geologic
history,
because
I
know
in
the
project
design
we're
having
we're
having
to
figure
out
where
the
ledge
is
exactly
because
it
relates
to
how
we
the
different
types
like
what
could
grow,
depending
on
how
deep
the
rock
is.
So
anyway,
these
things
are
all
kind
of
interconnected,
and
I
think
art
has
this
way
of
helping
us
see
that
so.
C
And
I
see
harry
is
asking
about
recreating
the
mandela
mural
somewhere.
That
was
an
incredibly
sad
loss.
C
I
know
that
is,
but
that
almost
sounds
glib
and
it's
not.
It
was
a
really
unfortunate
loss,
but
we
are
having
conversations
with
the
artist
who
is
amazing
and
wonderful
and
generous.
C
So
hopefully,
at
some
point
we
will.
We
will
see
that
iconic
work
in
some
form
again.
I
know
that
he
has
done
some
small
reproductions
that
were
available.
It
was
about
a
year
and
a
half
ago.
I
don't
know
if
he's
done
any
more,
but
I
would
encourage
you
all
to
support
his
work
as
well
as
deem
five
and
he's
another
great
local
artist.
C
I
see
vivian's
comment
about
giving
children
young
people
the
opportunity
to
meet
with
the
artists
you
know
through.
We
encourage.
Actually
we
require
all
of
the
artists
we
commission
to
do
community
engagement
and
since
a
lot
of
them
are
working
in
libraries
in
bcyf's
and
other
in
schools.
We're
doing
you
know
a
number
of
schools
projects,
so
we've
had
some
really
wonderful
engagements
with
kids
of
all
ages
over
the
past
year,
I'm
just
in
particular
thinking
about
a
workshop
with.
C
But
it
is
really
that
community
engagement
is
so
important
to
all
of
these
projects,
because
that's
that's
a
huge
component
of
public
art
and
especially
to
engage
across
the
ages.
You
know
to
reach
kids
and
elders
and
everyone.
G
So
sarah
we
have
a
question
is:
how
is
the
word
getting
out
to
interested
artists
or
have
artists
already
been
chosen?
Is
their
specific
location?
How
can
you
give
a
quick
recap
on
how
we
find
spaces
for
public
art
and
recruit
folks.
C
So
I
think
that
cena
is
so
tonight
is
an
introduction
to
the
office
to
all
the
different
programs
that
we
offer
and
to
different
ways
that
commission
public
art
is
commissioned.
There
is
not
a
specific
project
for
cummins
highway.
C
At
this
point
and
in
the
immediate
future
we
don't
have
a
plan
for
a
project,
we're
here
to
understand
what
the
community
is
looking
for,
and
that's
why
I
was
asking
the
questions
about
how
you
envision
the
cultural
space.
How
people
in
you
know
imagine
themselves
using
the
this
civic
space
when
it's
completed
and
what
makes
the
highway
and
surrounding
neighborhoods
unique
and
just
understanding
more
from
you
all
what
you're
looking
for
so
there's
there's
no
artist
chosen.
C
We're
many
many
would
be
many
steps
from
from
anything
like
that.
This
is
more
me,
sharing
information
about
my
office,
all
of
our
programs
and
then
hearing
from
you
about
this
this
project,
so
that
we
can
understand
better
if
at
some
point
in
the
future,
when
we
have
capacity,
if
there
were
a
possibility
of
doing
public
art
and
what
that
would
look
like
so.
C
Yeah
you're
welcome
and
I
see
that
vivian
asked
about
electric
boxes
on
cummins
highway.
Do
you
have
electric
boxes
on
cummins
highway.
D
So
we
will
have,
I
mean
street:
was
it
street
lighting
boxes
or
controllers,
as
well
as
traffic
controllers
along
coming?
So
maybe
we
could
reach
out
to
amber.
F
Mr
everyone
I
mentioned
amber
earlier
in
the
meeting:
that's
our
the
other
public
art
project
manager
on
our
team.
A
I'm
assuming
we
first
want
to
make
sure,
like
all
of
these
boxes,
that
get
painted
are
staying
and
not
being
like
reconfigured
with
the
project
so
yeah,
but
also
xena.
I
just
wanted
to
in
case
you
weren't
here
earlier.
I
knew
you
joined
a
little
late.
A
A
All
right,
speaking
of
a
lot
going
on,
I
want
to
make
sure
we
do
get
to
the
portion
of
the
meeting
where
I
run
through
a
lot
of
slides
about
what's
going
on,
but
before
I
do
that
passing
it
over
to
stephanie
to
speak
about.
What's
next
for
cummins
highway,.
G
Yeah
thanks
jen,
if
folks
are
still
coming
with
questions,
feel
free
to
put
them
in
the
chat.
We
will
definitely
come
back
to
that,
so
just
very
quickly
want
to
go
through
where
we
are
in
the
project
and
what
to
expect
next,
as
well
as
a
recap
of
what
we
have
done
so
again.
Our
goal
is
to
transform
cummins
highway
into
a
tree-lined
neighborhood
street
that
is
safer
for
families,
connects
residents
to
the
city's
network
of
open
spaces
and
makes
it
easy
for
everyone,
including
our
elders,
to
cross
the
street.
G
G
Sort
of
wrapping
up
our
year
of
monthly
or
almost
monthly
topical
meetings.
So
we
started
last
june,
and
here
we
are
this
june
talking
about
public
art
and
we
are
still
working
on
the
design
for
cummins
highway.
So
all
of
the
feedback
that
we
get
through
this
forum,
as
well
as
when
we're
out
on
the
street
talking
to
folks
when
we're
at
the
farmers
market
or
on
the
street
corner
emails
phone
calls,
everything
gets
logged
and
considered
as
we
continue
moving
forward
with
the
final
design
for
the
project.
G
So
we
kicked
off
these
meetings
with
a
discussion
about
black
americans
and
how
their
mobility
has
been
limited
in
the
us,
through
police
policies
and
polity.
The
person
who
led
that
discussion
was
charles
t
brown.
You
can
find
out
more
information
about
his
work
and
research
in
this
area
at
arrested,
arrestedmobility.com.
G
G
G
G
In
october,
we
invited
marybel
venzie
from
the
public
health
commission
to
talk
to
us
about
what
their
work
overlaps
with
our
work
in
terms
of
street
design,
health
and
well-being,
both
sort
of
term,
but
also
generational
and
population
level
improvements
in
our
health.
G
G
In
february,
we
talked
about
the
urban
forest
plan
and
about
street
trees,
and
some
of
the
things
that
we
already
know
about
trees
on
cummins
highway
ideas
for
how
we're
going
to
protect
those
trees,
but
also
how
we're
planning
ahead
for
more.
G
In
march,
we
talked
about
intersections
and
traffic
and
how
the
city
manages
and
balances
different
modes
of
transportation
and
demands
at
intersections
using
traffic
signals.
G
We
also
talked
about
our
proposed
roundabout
that
we
will
be
adding
as
part
of
the
cummins
highway
reconstruction
project
in
april,
age,
friendly
boston
came
and
talked
to
us
about
their
work,
both
in
matapan
and
citywide,
and
the
ways
that
we
can
incorporate
design
practices
in
the
cummins
highway
project
that
supports
aging
in
place
in
our
community
as
they
get
older.
G
In
may.
We
talked
about
disabilities.
The
disabilities
commission
shared
how
they
work
across
all
kinds
of
different
agencies
and
departments
in
the
city
to
design
for
systemic
accessibility,
and
we
also
talked
specifically
about
some
of
the
design
details
that
we
work
on
when
we
do
street
redesign
projects
like
comments
highway,
and
you
have
plenty
of
opportunities
to
talk
to
us
this
summer.
So
jen
has
been
arranging
a
series
of
events
for
everyone
to
come
chat
with
us.
G
So
I
know
jeff
was
out
on
june
10th
talking
to
folks,
we
will
be
at
the
farmers
market
about
once
a
month,
so
we
will
be
sharing
information
about
that
in
your
mailbox
in
your
email
inbox,
on
the
posters
along
the
corridor
anywhere
else
where
you
want
us
to
tell
people
to
come
talk
to
us.
So
the
next
time
that
you
can
talk
with
us
in
person
will
be
saturday
july
9th.
We
will
be
at
the
farmers
market,
which
runs
from
10
to
1
pm.
G
We'll
also
have,
as
I
mentioned
all
of
that
stuff
out
in
the
world,
trying
to
tell
people
how
to
come
talk
to
us,
but
we
also
are
proactive
in
talking
to
people
on
the
street,
so
you
might
bump
into
jen
or
karen
or
hannah
or
someone
else
on
our
team
when
they're
out
just
walking
the
corridor
and
talking
to
folks
so
looking
forward
to
talking
with
you
all
more
over
the
summer,
back
to
you,
jen
with
some
resources
and
upcoming
events,
stephanie.
A
All
right
so
a
lot
going
on,
as
you
all
know,
in
the
summer
time
in
boston,
confronted
to
start
off
with
some
events
and
happenings
related
to
art.
If
the
sarah's
presentation
about
public
art
in
boston
interested
you,
you
could
attend
the
boston
art
commission
meeting,
there's
one
coming
up
on
next
tuesday.
The
28th.
A
The
arts
and
culture
office
is
also
hiring
for
a
couple
positions
which
is
really
exciting.
I
know
they
are
very
excited
to
have
more
folks
to
be
able
to
have
more
capacity
to
do
more
of
this
excellent
work,
they're
hiring
a
director
of
grants
and
programs
who
will
be
responsible
for
developing
this
strategy,
aligning
with
the
cult,
city's
cultural
plan
and
building
relationships
with
the
arts
and
culture
sector
and
community
groups.
So
a
lot
of
what
we've
all
been
talking
about
today.
A
And
there's
another
position,
you
may
or
may
not
be
aware
that
the
city
hall
plaza
is
undergoing
a
redesign.
A
There's
been
a
lot
of
construction
right
outside
for
a
while,
I'm
very
excited
for
it
to
be
over
and
to
see
what
it
looks
like
after
all,
this
and
they're
we're
hiring
for
a
plaza
engagement
manager
to
kind
of
be
programming,
all
sorts
of
different
events
very
exciting
job,
and
that's
also
posted
now.
A
And
then
we
mentioned
the
matapan
farmers
market.
Our
team
will
be
there
on
opening
day
july
9th.
It
runs
on
saturdays
from
july
through
october,
and
we
hope
to
see
you
there.
A
We
always
like
to
plug
blue
bikes
there.
It
blue
bikes,
is
our
public
transit
by
bike
in
boston.
There
are
discounted,
passes
available
and
you
can
learn
more
about
that
in
the
link
that
nathaniel
just
dropped.
A
And
our
team
in
the
transportation
department
runs
a
learn
to
bike
series
for
women.
It
was
recently,
I
think,
front
page
in
the
globe.
It's
very
exciting.
We
have
one
of
those
events
coming
up
this
week
on
thursday
and
then
they
run
throughout
the
summer
and
fall
and
we
teach
some
basic
skills.
We
teach
about
writing
on
the
street,
so
we
vivienne
ortiz,
who
you've
heard
from
earlier,
is
one
of
our
star
instructors
and,
although
hopefully.
A
Do
you
able
to
join
us
again?
We
love
you
for
being
all
right
next,
one.
A
And
I
mentioned
this
at
the
last
meeting,
but
really
want
to
make
sure
everyone
who
had
who
has
seen
this.
The
mbta
is
proposing
changes
to
the
bus
network
across
the
region.
A
There's
a
lot
of
important
changes
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
you
see
them
and
are
able
to
provide
some
feedback
and
there's
more
about
it
about
the
opportunities
on
the
next
slide.
So
there's
they
actually
have
this
interactive
map.
Where
you
can
see
all
the
proposed
changes
and
kind
of
even
compare
your
trips
as
they
are
today
with
how
they
would
be
in
the
proposed
plan,
so
definitely
check
that
out
and
then
in
the
next
slide.
A
There
are
okay.
So
this
is
the
first
first.
This
is
kind
of
a
little
screenshot
of
showing
some
of
the
proposed
changes
in
matapan,
and
then
the
mbta
has
a
number
of
different
opportunities
for
folks
to
provide
feedback,
including
some
in-person
meetings
in
the
in
july,
some
open
houses
in
in
june
and
july,
and
then
a
virtual
meeting
as
well
lots
of
opportunities.
There
really
important.
A
All
right
and
then
again,
if
you've
joined
us
before
you've
heard
this
a
number
of
times
the
route
23,
28
and
29
buses
are
free
and
actually
their
new
content
for
today
is
that
there
is
going
to
be
a
meeting.
G
A
Double
check
the
link,
I
thought
it
was
specifically
on
the
three.
Well,
it's
okay,
it
says
service
on
routes,
23,
28
29
will
be
fair,
free
for
two
years,
provide
an
overview
and
take
comments
on
the
fairfreebus
program.
So
it's
not
entirely
clear
from
that
description,
which
of
the
two.
A
The
mbta
is
also
planning
to
make
some
improvements
on
the
matapan
line
and
there
was
a
public
meeting
about
it
in
april,
which
you
can
watch
online
and
you
can
send
feedback
to
the
email
address
on
the
slide.
A
A
There's
also
speaking
of
children
there's
an
arts
and
crafts
workshop
that
is
on
two
of
them
july,
8th
and
july
15th,
both
in
mattapan
at
the
walker
playground.
A
And
there
is
a
city
is:
has
an
immigrant
heritage
bunch
month
series
which
is
coming
to
matapan
with
a
entrepreneurship
panel
and
resources?
Fair
is
at
the
library.
G
I'm
sorry
there
is
not
a
slide
for
it,
but
the
walker
playground.
G
Ribbon
cutting
will
be
during
the
mayor's
coffee
hour,
which
is
planned
for
thursday
june
30th
at
9
30
a.m
and
the
walker
playground
is
at
515
norfolk.
If
you
forgot
or
you've
never
been
so
definitely
stop
by.
Look
at
the
new
beautiful
playground
that
they
built
over
the
last
year
so
bring
your
family
get
some
free
treats.
A
Then
this
organization
called
crew
communities
responding
to
extreme
weather
and
massachusetts.
General
hospital
are
running
a
workshop
to
prepare
for
heat
waves.
This
is
july
14th
and
more
information
in
the
chat.
A
And
then
I
think
this
might
be
the
second
to
last
slide.
Matapan
square
main
streets
is
hosting
a
health
and
wellness
day
it's
on
june
friday
june
24th
coming
right
up.
A
And
then
here
are
some
ways
you
can
stay
in
touch
both
with
the
city's
office
of
arts
and
culture
and
with
the
cummins
highway
project
team.
So
with
that,
thank
you
again
for
joining
us
tonight.
I
was
excited
to
see
everyone
and
to
talk
about
art.
Thank
you
so
much
sarah
for
joining
us
and
sharing
about
all
the
work
that
you
and
your
department
do.
