From YouTube: Public Improvement Commission Hearings 3-16-2023
Description
The Boston Public Improvement Commission (PIC) is the owner and regulator of the City's rights of way. The PIC plays an integral role in the City's development and permitting process. From the restaurant that wants to add a seasonal cafe on the public sidewalk, to the developer who wants to construct an underground parking garage for a new housing development, or the homeowner who wants to add an architectural feature to a house that juts into the public space, each must seek approval from the PIC to have its private venture occupy public space, either permanently or on a licensed basis.

to
the
project
and
talk

through
any
changes
that
have
happened
since
your
last
hearing,
including
any
updates
on
the
conversations
around
landmarks.
That
may
have
happened
since
that
was
a
topic
of
discussion
last
year.
L
Thank
you
and
good
morning,
Mr,
chairman
and
members
of
the
commission.
My
name
is
Johnny
Sanchez
from
Wilson
in
stores
I'm
here
on
behalf
of
the
petitioner
Seaport
Square
development
company
joined
today
by
Dan,
Dan,
Sullivan
and
Amy,
praying
to
the
petitioner
as
well
as
John
Schmidt
and
Brett
Berry
from
Niche
engineering.
L
As
noted,
we
are
here
to
respectfully
request
approval
of
specific
repairs
generally
relating
to
Broadway
reconstruction
within
portions
of
Summer
Street
West,
Service,
Road,
Boston
work,
Road,
Congress,
Street
and
Autumn
Lane.
Since
our
last
public
hearing,
we
have
addressed
the
Boston
landmarks
commission
staff
request
for
application,
submission
which
Dan
will
discuss
momentarily
and
we've
been
working
with
pics
Council
to
integrate
these
locations
into
Master
specific
work,
Paris
LMI
I'll
announcement
over
to
Dan
to
give
you
a
brief
overview
of
the
project
as
well
before
turning
it
over
to
Niche
to
walk
through
the
plans.
M
Good
morning,
Dan
Sullivan
with
WS
Development
in
the
seaport,
as
mentioned
by
Joshua
and
Johnny,
just
there
we're
reconstructing
several
public
streets
in
the
seaport
since
it
began
this
project,
we've
engaged
with
the
city
of
Boston
and
Mass
DOT
as
partners
of
the
rep
design
development,
as
requested
on
March
2nd.
Earlier
this
week
we
submitted
an
application
to
Boston
landmarks,
Commission
I
think
we're
we're
covered
there.
Just
like
two
weeks
ago.
We
wanted
to
show
some
photos
of
Seaport
Boulevard,
the
public,
roadway
and
median
WS
built
a
few
years
ago.
M
Well,
we
expect
the
scope
to
be
you
know
beautiful
and
accessible
and
welcoming,
just
like
the
sequel
involve
art
scope
we
completed
previously
I
know.
John
has
a
few
photos
here,
showing
that
work
but
I'll
hand
it
over
to
John
Smith
with
Niche
to
get
the
details
of
the
design.
Thank
you
good.
N
Morning,
Commissioners
John,
Smith,
Niche
engineering,
I'll.
Just
give
you
a
brief
overview,
since
this
has
been
presented
to
you
twice
already
are
the
extent
of
the
work
is
on
West
Service
Road,
starting
several
hundred
feet
south
of
the
Summer
Street.
This
is
the
Summer
Street
Bridge
here,
so
we
We
Begin
our
work
at
West,
Service,
Road
up
to
the
section
of
Congress
Street
and
then
down
along
Boston
More
forward
to
Seaport
Boulevard.
N
The
work
in
this
area
is
primarily
a
coal
plant
overlay,
some
curb
installation
and
some
Street
amenities
on
Congress
street,
from
the
intersection
of
Boston
walk
Road
to
this
point
here
it
will
be
a
coping
and
overlay
installation
of
a
mid-block
crosswalk,
an
installation
of
a
median
Island
that
in
several
years,
will
reflect
what
those
photos
on
Seaport
Boulevard
indicated
just
a
few
moments
ago,
and
then
on
Summer
Street,
I.
Remember
the
front
of
the
work
at
Summer.
A
Open
it
up
to
Commissioners.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
presentation
of
the
Commissioners
for
any
questions.
A
All
right
hearing,
none
I
will
ask.
Will
the
petitioners
agree
that
I
understand
that
you
have
a
date
now
for
the
administrative
review
at
landmarks
to
be
considered?
Will
you
commit
to
coming
back
to
us
if
there
are
any
changes
that
result
from
that
landmarks
review
I,
think
minor
things
may
be
able
to
be
handled
administratively,
but
if
there's
significant
changes
that
would
likely
necessitate
another
hearing
at
the
pic.
F
A
Okay,
could
please
coordinate
with
Todd
for
any
changes
that
result
to
the
plans?
I?
Think
whether
or
not
you
know
he
can,
he
can
determine
based
on
the
scope
of
what
changes,
whether
or
not
an
additional
hearing
is
required.
Obviously,
for
you
know
for
very
minor
things,
we
may
not
need
a
to
have
another
hearing,
but
we'd
like
to
know
about
anything,
that's
different
from
the
plans
that
were
that
we're
reviewing
today.
O
I
B
L
B
Said
Tom
messaged
me
he
said
he's
going
to
try
to
relocate.
So
maybe
we
can
give
them
another
magnitude,
so
he
can
get
back
on.
But.
H
J
H
Very
much
right,
like
with
us
in
are
plans
for
Summer,
Street
and
I.
Think
that,
now
that
we
have
like
additional
things
that
are
coming
up
right,
like
we're
in
the
process
of
coordinating
with
all
the
stakeholders,
these
guys,
obviously
being
a
big
part
of
that
so
stay
tuned,
to
discuss
bus
lines
more
with
us.
E
You
thank
you
Chief
I,
apologies
for
the
background
noise,
so
the
concern
I
have
isn't
that
necessary.
Thank
you,
Todd
for
trying
to
recap
my
points.
Congress
Street,
Summer
Street
are
heavily
pedestrian
pedestrian
areas.
Concern
I
have
is
the
crossings
right,
other
Crossings,
flashing
yellow
are
actually
signalized.
That's
really
the
point.
E
I
recognize
that
Midlock
and
it
potentially
is
a
problem,
but
those
stairs
in
the
Thruway
from
Summer
Street
down
to
the
water
will
be
heavily
traveled
in
just
having
Islands
isn't
sufficient
recognizing
it
is
a
mitigation,
but
they
should
be
signalized.
Our
point
is
they
should
be
signalized,
yeah
and,
and
those
intersections
need
to
be
extremely
well
lit.
Thank
you.
N
Yes,
I
believe
those
intersections
across
rocks
are
signalized.
Looking
at
the
drawings.
Q
Yeah
John,
this
is
Ian
I'm
a
traffickers
project
both
intersections
and
crossings,
are
fully
signalized
and
we're
working
with
BTD
to
ensure
that
those
are
our
safe,
Crossings
and
I
believe
there's
also
new
lighting
at
each
of
these
streets,
so
that
everybody
will
be
fully
illuminated.
Thank
you.
A
All
right,
thank
you
for
for
addressing
that
hearing.
No
other
questions
or
comments
going
once
going
twice.
Do
I
hear
a
motion
to
improve
public
hearing
continued

A
P
Thank
you
Mr
chair
through
you
to
the
members
of
the
commission.
My
name
is
Matt
O'malley
I'm,
the
chief
sustainability
officer
for
vicinity
energy.
If
I
may
have
a
moment
of
personal
privilege,
as
many
of
you
know,
I
spent
a
decade
plus
working
in
city
hall,
with
many
of
you
and
it's
great
to
see
old
colleagues
and
friends
and
I'm
grateful
for
your
continued
service.
I
will
keep
this
brief.
I
wanted
to
just
Begin
by
thanking
you
particularly
Chief,
and
your
team
for
inviting
us
back
here.
P
We
welcome
the
tough
conversations
we
welcome.
The
oversight
because
we
have
vicinity
are
proud
to
stand
shoulder
to
shoulder
with
mayor
Wu
in
making
sure
that
Boston
is
a
green,
New,
Deal
City.
We
were
particularly
honored
that
the
mayor
joined
us
at
our
Kendall
Square
plant
back
in
November,
as
we
decommissioned
some
old
gas
infrastructure
to
make
way
for
our
first
electric
boiler,
which
will
be
up
and
operational
within
a
year
and
the
opportunity
to
provide
decarbonized
steam
to
some
clients,
which
is
the
whole
purpose
of
this
petition
before
the
pic
today.
P
If
it
believes
the
committee
I
can
now
turn
to
Robbie
Burgess
who
works
for
Howard,
Stein
Hudson,
he
can
give
the
go
overview.
Several
colleagues
have
joined
this
call
from
vicinity,
including
Kevin
Hagerty,
our
CEO
and
Deputy
CEO,
and
once
again
we
welcome
this
opportunity
to
answer
questions
and
respectfully
ask
the
commission
for
a
favorable
vote
today.
Thank
you,
Mr,
chair
on.
R
R
R

The
scope
project
is
approximately
3
000
linear
feet
of
18
inch
steam
line
along
Lansdowne,
Street
and
Ipswich
Street.
That
will
connect
the
the
Fenway
neighborhood
and
on
upcoming
developments
to
esteem
product.
R
This
is
a
amount
showing
generally
the
route
of
the
proposed
steam
line
on
plan
left.
Here
you
can
see
it
begins.
At
Brookline,
Avenue
continues
down
Land
Street
onto
exit
street
across
the
muddy
river
to
Boylston
Street,
where
it
connects
back
into
a
manhole
of
Massachusetts
Avenue
updates
from
our
prior
business
hearing.
We've
had
a
significant
coordination
with
stakeholders
and
continued
coordination
with
City
agencies.
R
R
We've
got
a
set
of
granted
location
plans
in
front
of
the
commission
and
this
I'll
just
flip.
Through
these
very
quickly,
they
follow
the
same
route
that
I
just
showed
you
Brookline
Avenue,
Lansdowne,
Street,
continuing
down
lands
down
street
towards
Ipswich.
R
You
can
see
Ipswich
continuing
around
along
the
parking
Lane
in
infant
street
across
the
Muddy
River
finally
approaching
Boylston
Street
Massachusetts
Avenue
to
its
Terminus
at
the
intersection
of
Massachusetts
Avenue
in
Boylston
Street
construction
schedule.
Generally
speaking,
we're
looking
to
the
project
is
looking
to
Begin
work
in
episode
Street.
Once
we,
the
project,
obtains
the
necessary
permits
that
will
begin
this
year.
Lansdowne
Street
will
work
will
not
begin
on
Lansdowne
Street
until
after
the
Red
Sox
season
of
this
year,
so
very
quickly.
I
just
wanted
to
go
through
that.
R
Certainly
we
have
a
lot
of
information
that
we
can
provide.
I
know
that
the
commission
had
some
specific
questions
related
to
energy
generation
and
the
vicinity
team
has
brought
all
of
the
the
appropriate
people
to
discuss
that.
So,
if
there
are
any
questions,
we
are
happy
to
entertain
them
at
this
time.
A
Thank
you
Robbie
and
Matt,
and
thank
you
for
making
another
trip
back
here.
I
appreciate
it
before
we
get
into
spending
a
few
minutes
talking
about
sustainability.
Robbie
can
I
confirm.
Have
there
been
any
changes
since
your
last
public
hearing
to
any
aspects
of
the
design,
the
river
crossing?
Anything
like
that.
R
No
there's
been
some
refinements
in
terms
of
specific
engineering
coordination
with
the
Fenway
group,
as
it
pertains
to
underground
foundations
for
their
structures,
we've
coordinated
with
their
structural
team
and
and
legal
team
to
make
sure
that
the
steam
line
is
satisfactory
to
to
their
needs.
There's
still
some
ongoing
coordination
with
them.
R
R
A
Appreciate
that
before
we
talk
sustainability,
stuff
Commissioners,
any
design
or
related
questions
that
you'd
like
to
raise.
R
Yes,
I
think
Mr
Haggerty
is
available
to
answer
that
that
question
sure
sure.
What's.
S
I
think
we
can
all
agree
that
offshore
wind
is
is
is
beginning
to
take
hold
in
the
New
England
ISO
market,
and
we
expect
it
significantly
expanding
so
by
2025,
we're
anticipating
between
two
to
four
gigawatts
of
offshore
wind,
that's
available
in
that
ratcheting
up
around
eight
gigawatts
by
2030
in
the
beginning
for
our
early
customers,
we
are
going
to
be
abiding
by
Berto
for
where
we're
going
to
be
procuring
renewable
energy,
so
some
of
that
is
going
to
be
out
of
grid,
so
fertile
has
Provisions
that
allows
us
to
procure
renewable
energy
out
of
grid
as
long
as
it
meets
certain
additionality
requirements,
so
we'll
be
using
some
of
that
and
we'll
also
be
using
some
math
class
1
Rex
in
the
interim
and
entering
into
long-term
ppas
as
more
offshore
wind
becomes
available
from
2025
on.
S
U
A
Put
a
little
context
around
this
I
know
if
you're
here
last
hearing
you've
heard
this
before,
but
the
you
know.
This
is
a
somewhat
unusual
in
this
situation
from
the
pic
in
the
sense
that
you
know
much
of
our
work
with
utilities
are
we
have
traditionally
regulated
utilities
that
have
a
sort
of
presumptive
right
of
access
to
public
streets
and
for
whom
our
our
evaluation
is
often
confined
to?
You
know
relatively
technical
matters
related
to
the
design
and
construction
of
the
right-of-way
I.
A
Think
in
this
case
we
have
a
component
who
does
not
have
that
presumptive
right
of
access
and
for
whom
you
know,
quite
frankly,
I
think
as
if
we
zoom
out
of
our
mission
and
what
not
only
at
the
the
technical
and
design
responsibilities
we
have,
but
for
the
general
responsibility
to
ensure
that
our
public
streets
are
being
put
to
use
for
public
good.
A
We
find
ourselves
considering
a
proposal
that
I
think
requires
a
bit
of
additional
scrutiny
around
the
environmental
implications
of
what
is
being
proposed
to
be
built
within
our
public
rights
of
way
to
make
sure
that
this
project
effect
and
anything
that
might
come
subsequently
is
aligned
with
this
disease
urgently
to
decarbonize.
You
know
both
here
in
Boston
and
to
contribute
to
the
larger
Global
effort
underway,
given
that
vicinity
today
is
a
fully
fossil
fuel
fired
system.
A
We
want
to
just
take
a
few
minutes
to
ask
some
questions
of
vicinity
to
get
on
the
record
a
little
bit
more
of
what
you
have
told
us
already
off
the
Record
about
your
decarbonization
plans
and
how
this
expansion
is
contributing
to
a
long-term
future
for
eating
in
Boston.
That
is
decarbonized,
especially
for
our
larger
buildings.
So
that's
the
intent
here.
You
know
the
goal
is
not
you
know.
A
We
recognize
that
decarbonization
is
a
process
that
it
takes
time
that,
no
matter
what
segment
of
the
energy
economy
you
are
looking
at,
that
there
are
no
definitive
answers
for
how
to
best
do
it
and
that
you
know
those
who
are
taking
it
seriously
are
investing
in
a
portfolio
of
strategies
to
try
to
accelerate
your
decarbonization,
and
so
this
is
really
an
opportunity
to
tell
the
commission
on
the
record
about
those
strategies
that
you're
engaged
in,
so
that
when
you
come
back
to
to
us
at
some
future
dates
for
some
future
project.
A
We
can
look
back
at
this
and
you
know
check
in
to
see
whether
the
progress
that
you
are
anticipating
in
their
aiming
towards
has
actually
been
achieved.
So
with
that
I'll
add
another
question
to
commissioner
callahans,
and
you
know
you've
told
us
in
your
slides
and
and
verbally
just
now
that
you
know
the
intent
of
this
expansion
is
to
provide
your
your
decarbonized
e-stein
product
and
I'm
interested
in
just
understanding
a
little
bit
more
about
the
nature
of
what
is
being
purchased
on.
A
This
expansion
at
the
outset
is
100
of
the
product
that
you
will
be
selling
e-stein
and
do
you
and
have
you
committed
to
delivering.
You
know
fully
decarbonized
Steam
on
the
day
that
you
commission
this
new
pipeline
or
is
that
something
that's
expected
to
phase
in
over
time.
S
So
I'll
go
ahead
and
take
that
question
so
the
the
initial
contracts
that
support
this
buildup
project
commercial
standpoint
will
flow
over
half
of
the
steam
volume
we'll
be
easting.
So
that's
not
100.
We
are
not
committing
to
100
East
Steam
on
the
spine.
What
we
are
committing
to
is
providing
the
infrastructure,
so
buildings
have
availability
to
a
decarbonized
product.
We
can't
you
know
we
can't
compel
a
building
to
buy
a
decarbonized
product.
What
we
can
do
is
we
can
make
sure
we
have
the
right
infrastructure
in
place.
S
We
can
make
sure
we
have
the
right
type
of
product
that
is
competitively
priced,
so
buildings
have
options
to
be
able
to
decarbonize
as
legislation
like
Birdo
2.0
comes
into
place,
so
we
anticipate
with
over
half
the
volume
being
esteem
with
this
first
build
out,
but
we
expect
that
to
step
up
substantially
as
bertos
as
part
of
legislation
comes
into
place
and
progressively
lowers
the
amount
of
carbon
that
buildings
are
allowed
to
emit.
So
we
expect
that
percentage
to
step
up
significantly
in
2026.
A
A
S
So,
just
to
be
clear,
the
over
50
is
specific
for
this
line
and
the
the
customers
connected
with
this
lateral.
That
being
said,
the
first
e-boarder
that
we're
going
to
be
putting
in
which
construction
has
already
started.
It
will
be
active
in
2024.
that
single
50
megaw
Ebola
is
capable
for
providing
upwards
of
40
of
the
totals
team
going
for
the
system.
S
So
in
the
early
onset
years
we
have
plenty
of
capacity
to
meet
easting
demand
and
we're
phasing
in
other
forms
of
generation.
Behind
the
electric
boiler
we're
phasing
any
heat
pump,
which
provides
a
much
more
efficient
means,
albeit
more
costly
upfront,
a
lot
of
produce,
electrified
Steam
and
as
more
offshore
wind
fores
on
New
England
ISO
grid.
We
will
be
putting
in
thermal
storage
to
take
advantage
of
the
pricing
suppression
that
will
happen
overnight,
as
the
offshore
event
comes
on.
A
Yeah
I
appreciate
that
and
in
terms
of
future
growth
with
this
expansion,
how
do
you
think
about
your
or
what
are
your?
What
are
your
objectives
in
terms
of
using
the
line
that's
being
put
in
today
to
either
directly
connect
additional
buildings
beyond
your
existing
customers,
or
any
thoughts
that
you
have
about
the
potential
for
further
expansion
of
this
line
to
connect
to
make
service
available
to
additional
buildings,
with
a
with
a
extended
run
of
this?
This
pipe
so.
S
Our
intention
is
to
continue
to
grow
the
system,
to
areas
that
it
makes
sense,
and
that's
typically,
you
know
large
buildings
with
the
heavy
energy
use
lab
space,
large
commercial
buildings,
large
residential
hospitals,
EDS
meds,
so
it
the
easting
product
that
we're
offering
we
are
seeing
is
very
attractive
towards
you
know
the
Ed's
medicine
lab
space,
so
we
anticipate,
like
I,
said
growing
the
system
in
areas
where
it
makes
sense.
We
don't
anticipate
growing
the
system
out
in
areas
where
you
have
a
less
dense,
Urban
environment.
S
You
know,
as
you
get
into
kind
of
the
the
low-rise
residential.
There
are
other
technologies
that
needs
to
decarbonize
that
we
know
make
more
sense
and
that
kind
of
less
dense
urban
area.
But
for
areas
like
this,
where
you
have
high
rises
in
buildings
with
a
dense
energy
need,
we
are
confident
that
the
esteem
product
that
we
are
providing
is
the
easiest
and
least
cost
means
for
buildings
to
decarbonized
right.
A
In
terms
of
the
the
16th
generation
side,
we
can
just
dig
into
that
for
a
second.
The
you've
talked
about
just
now,
some
of
the
strategies
that
you're
planning
to
implement
at
your
Cambridge
facility,
the
e-boiler
heat
pump
and
thermal
storage-
and
you
know,
understanding
that,
like
Cambridge
josto,
currently
plays
a
significant
or
plays
a
role
in
the
electrical
grid
as
well
because
of
its
co-generation
capacity.
If
you
look
at
you
know,
say
2030
and
the
steam
output
that's
coming
out
of
that
Cambridge
facility.
A
S
We
don't
have
a
Target
percentage.
We
are
building
to
be
ready
to
supply
significant
volumes.
Like
I
said,
the
single
evil
is
capable
of
providing
upwards
of
40
we're,
anticipating
building
a
heat
pump
complex
that
will
be
available
in
the
2025
time
frame
and
again
that
will
be
able
to
put
out
an
additional
another
40
on
the
system.
So
by
2030
as
to
what
the
demand
for
East
steam
is
that's
a
little
uncertain.
S
It
depends
on
legislation
and
building
options,
and
it
depends
a
little
bit
on
the
on
the
renewable
penetration
rate
on
the
larger
New
England
ISO
grid,
because
that
sets
the
pricing
for
electrification.
But
we
are
building
infrastructure
to
be
ready
to
supply
significant
amounts
of
our
steam
via
esteem.
A
So
if
I'm
doing
my
math
correctly,
it
sounds
like
between
the
e-boiler
and
the
heat
pump
complex
that,
based
onto
these
demands,
you
would
be
by
2025.
You'd.
Have
the
capacity
to
deliver
80
of
today's
steam
demand
using
electrically
generated
sources,
hopefully
presumably
backed
by
renewable
energy?
Is
that
a
roughly
a
pair
I.
S
Understand
that
that's
correct
what
that
actual
percentage
turns
out
to
be
is
going
to
end
how
the
market
shapes
up.
You
know
if
I
knew
how
the
market
was
going
to
shape
up
within
eight
years.
You
know
I
would
probably
on
an
island
somewhere
right,
but
we
need
to
be
ready
to
make
sure
that
we
can
anticipate
how
the
market
shapes
up
and
provide
that
high
volume
of
easting
and
we
anticipated
being
quite
High.
East
team
is
more
buildings
are
learning
about
it.
More
ones
are
learning
about
it.
S
A
Yeah
and
hopefully
Berto
will
give
that
a
solid
kick
in
the
pants
to
encourage
folks
to
invest
in
decarbonized
options.
So
you
know,
we've
talked
a
bit
about
Cambridge
and
the
strategies
there.
What
can
you
tell
us,
about
your
intents
to
decarbonize
or
curtail
the
use
of
facilities
in
Boston,
which
obviously
you
know
at
least
that
nameplate
capacities
are?
A
Are
you
know,
I
I
think
slightly
combined
slightly
larger
than
your
Cambridge
disability
and
you
know
certainly
have
in
addition
to
General
carbon
emissions,
have
the
potential
to
some
localized
impacts.
Do
you
have
a
strategy
to
to
either
convert
those
two
electrically
generated
steam
or
line
down
their
use
over
time.
S
So
we're
the
the
Boston
District
Energy
System
is
moving
towards
a
fully
electrically
generated
steam.
That's
the
direction
that
we're
going.
We
are
currently
focusing
on
the
Kendall
facility,
which
will
have
our
first
electric
boiler,
our
heat
pump,
complex
and
our
thermal
storage,
but
we
anticipate
that
we're
going
to
have
to
install
additional
peaking
capacity
or
electric
peaking
capacity
throughout
the
Boston
area,
and
so
Kneeland
and
Scotia
were
in
advanced
talks
with
the
electric
utility.
S
S
S
No
we're
not
so
our
co-generation
unit
Kindle
station
at
Kendall
station
that
unit
is
going
to
stay
functional.
It
is
something
that
is
required
for
the
New
England
ISO
grade
reliability
and
it
will
be
kept
available
for
the
New
England
ISO
grade
reliability.
S
But
over
time
we
anticipate
that
unit
running
less
and
less
that
we
face
in
more
East
team
and
then
overall,
what
you'll
see
is
the
electric
generating
equipment
at
or
the
electric
steam
generating
equipment
at
Kendall
I.E,
the
heat
pump
and
the
thermal
storage
that'll
be
our
base
load
steam
generating
and
as
you
get
into
the
winter
months,
December
February
or
December
January
February
you'll
start
to
see
Kneeland
and
Scotia
come
on
with
their
peaking
electrical
generation
to
help
meet
that
demand.
A
Got
it
and-
and
you
provided
us
a
report
that
indicated
that
approximately
75
of
the
steam
in
the
system
today
is
generated
in
your
Kendall
facility.
So
in
my
correct
instrument
that
you
would
expect
that
percentage
to
to
to
increase
over
time,
given
the
Investments
that
you're
making
in
at
Kendall
with
the
Boston
facilities,
understanding,
they
play
an
important
peaking
role
that
they
would
play
less
of
an
overall
role
at
the
focus
on
decarbonized
Steam
moves
to
Kendall.
S
It's
not
a
coincidence
that
we
were
originally
talking
about
80
right
between
the
heat
pump,
the
electric
boil
over
and
Campbell.
So
most
of
this
team
generation
will
still
come
from
Kendall
station
with
some
peaky
capacity
happening,
say:
30
25
off
on
the
Boston
side,
so
we
still
anticipate
those
ratios
being
about
the
same.
But
what
will
happen?
Is
the
co-generation
percentage
component
will
phase
down?
A
Got
it
excellent?
Thank
you,
and
you
know
I
think
we
touched
on
this
a
little
bit
in
some
of
your
answers
to
commissioner
Callahan's
questions
and
my
questions,
but
there's
a
lot
of
complexity
in
delivering
a
carbon-free
product
in
what
is
to
what
is
a
blended
system
of
electrically
and
non-electrically
generated
steam.
A
The
electrical
component
is
being
generated
through
via
energy,
largely
supplied
by
a
grid
that
is
often
blended
between
a
carpentry
and
non-car
and
carbon
intensive
sources
of
electricity,
and
so,
given
all
of
this
complexity,
I'm
wondering
what
kind
of
independent
auditing
or
certification
you'll
have
in
place
to
ensure
that
your
approach
to
kind
of
carbon
accounting
within
the
steam
system,
as
it
relates
to
power
purchases
and
generation,
are
actually
fulfilling
the
commitments
that
you've
made
here
to
us,
the
city
publicly
and
to
your
customers.
S
So
we're
building
the
system
to
ensure
that
it's
Birdo
2.0
compliant
and
to
ensure
that
the
decarbonizing
means
that
we're
putting
in
place
are
in
alignment
with
Roberto
2.0
legislation
as
part
of
Roto
2.0.
We
are
required
or
we're
subject
to
third-party
audit,
to
make
sure
that
our
reporting
is
in
alignment
with
the
legislation
and
that
we
are
that
we
are
procuring
the
appropriate
volume
of
renewable
electricity
and
that
we're
metering
and
tending
to
the
volumes
of
our
East
team,
appropriately
so
by
the
verto
2.0
legislation.
S
We're
already
subject
to
some
fairly
thorough
auditing
means
to
prove
to
not
only
the
city
but
also
to
our
customer
base
that
the
product
that
they're
procuring
is
a
decarbonized
product.
A
And
will
those
be?
Will
those
will
those
audits
be
made
publicly
available
others
and
forgive
my
unfamiliarity
with
the
details
of
birdo's
auditing
requirements,
but
are
those
you
know,
sort
of
the
self-certification
that
you
will
conduct,
Audits
and-
and
you
know,
tell
the
city
that
you've
done
it
and
that
they
you've
passed?
Will
those
be
shared
with
the
city?
Will
they
be
made
public?
Can
you
give
us
a
little
bit
of
a
sense
of
what
to
expect
with
that?
My.
S
Understanding
is
it's
going
to
be
shared
with
the
city.
I
have
to
look
on
the
specific,
the
legislation
as
to
how
what
that's
going
to
be,
but
ultimately
we
have
to
publish
I,
think
it's
by
April
every
year,
our
our
carbon
intensity
rate,
and
so
this
auditing
plays
into
that.
Possibly
this
is
a
question.
That's
better
suited
for
Matt
yeah.
P
No
you're,
absolutely
right.
Kevin
everything
is
shared
with
the
cities
independently
verified
there.
P
But
the
chief
that
certainly
will
be
available
either
through
commissioner
brezius
or
someone
in
that
kind.
Excellent.
A
A
This
is
this
is
complicated
and
in
many
ways-
and
you
know
it
is
I
I-
think
very
heartening
to
see
the
level
of
commitment
that
vicinity
has
put
into
working
through
these
complexities
to
putting
in
place
a
kind
of
variety
of
strategies
to
get
to
decarbonization,
and
you
know,
I
think
it's
clear
from
what
you've
shared
today
and
what
you've
shared
with
us
previously
that
that
the
team
at
vicinity
today
has
taken
this
issue
very
seriously
and
while
you
know
certainly
operating
a
business,
is
also
really
taking.
A
There
are
many
contingencies
in
the
plan
that
you've
shared
with
us
today
and
a
lot
of
things
technically
and
energy
markets,
and
that
are
you
know,
frankly,
outside
of
your
controller
ours
that
have
to
go
right
for
this
Vision
to
be
fully
realized,
and
so
you
know
I
think
for
us
as
a
city,
we
want
to
continue
to
engage
in
the
vicinity
to
you
know,
make
sure
we
know
how
these
things
are
moving
ahead
to
make
sure
we're
providing
writ
large
the
right
regulatory
framework
to
encourage
continued
investments
in
decarbonization
and
where
those
contingencies
don't
go
as
planned
or
where
they're.
A
You
know
vicinity's
work
and
hope
that
this
clearly
evident
commitment
will
continue
for
the
many
years
ahead
that
it's
going
to
take
to
get
to
a
fully
decarbonized
system,
but
I
very
much
appreciate
you
sharing
all
of
this
with
us
on
the
record
and
I
know
it's
taken
us
a
few
rounds
to
get,
but
you
know
I
think
this
is
helpful
for
me
to
feel
confident
that,
in
approving
this
expansion
that
we
are
accelerating
the
path
towards
the
city's
decarbonization,
rather
than
perpetuating
fossil
fuel
infrastructure
and
so
I'm
grateful
for
taking
the
time
to
help
us
fully
unpack
and
understand
this
I
will
stop
talking
and
see.
D
Oh
yes,
I
actually
just
wanted
to
go
back
to
the
first
part
of
the
presentation.
I
appreciate
you.
Thank
you
for
mentioning
that
you
are
still
continuing
to
work
with
that
bwsd
on
any
LC
any
comments.
So
if
you
can
continue
to
do
that
again,
that'd
be
great.
Thank
you.
V
F
I'm,
just
here
to
speak
on
behalf
of
Fenway
Sports
Group
I'm,
an
Affiliated
Property
Owners
along
the
southern
side
of
Lansdowne
Street.
As
Robbie
mentioned,
the
vicinity
team
has
been
in
touch
with
us
to
coordinate
sort
of
design,
refinements,
I.
Think,
as
everyone
knows,
it's
a
complicated,
dense
Street,
particularly
at
the
subsurface
level,
Foundation
supporting
the
green
monster
and
other
issues
there.
But
the
team's
been
great
working
with
us
to
refine
the
design
around
those
issues.
F
And
so
we
just
wanted
to
say
that
we
support
the
f
efforts,
including
the
overall
goal
of
bringing
East
Dean
to
the
neighborhood
in
Fenway,
and
that
will
continue
to
work
with
the
team
and
we
were
pleased
with
their
commitment
to
delay
the
work
on
Lansdowne
Street
until
the
close
of
the
baseball
season,
so
we'll
be
continuing
to
work
with
them.
On
that.
K
Yes,
hi
good
morning,
Allison
poulton
is
from
the
Fenway
news,
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
this
steam
connection
when
it
reaches
mass
in
Boylston
that
is
coming
from
the
Scotia
plant.
Is
that
right
or
is
it
coming
from
Kendall
I,
wasn't
clear
on
that.
R
U
I
guess
I
can
take
that
Capital
unless
you
want
to,
but
obviously
the
the
system
itself
is
an
integrated
system
and
I
think
it's
Kevin
covered.
You
know
the
generation
of
the
e-steam
product
will
be
from
the
Kendall
facility,
it'll
be
in
the
piping
system
in
the
city
of
Boston.
Cambridge,
you
know
are
just
a
conduit
to
deliver
them
to
the
buildings
in
the
Fenway
neighborhood.
So
short
answer.
Your
question
is
the
easting
product
will
not
be
being
generated
initially
at
the
Scotia
Street
facility.
U
As
far
as
ongoing
work
at
the
Scotia
Street
facility,
our
plan
is
to
retain
the
scotiating
facility
as
part
of
the
peaking
capacity,
as
Kevin
spoke
to
for
the
long
term
or
at
least
for
the
medium
term,
while
we're,
while
we're
building
out
further
electrified
steam
product.
But
there
really
should
be
no
changes
evident
to
the
public
with
the
Scotia
Street
facility
in
in
the
coming
years.
K
Okay,
thank
you.
I
did
attend
the
tree
hearing
for
the
removal
of
the
street
trees
on
Lansdowne,
and
at
that
hearing
it
was
I
was
told
that
these
pipes
are
tearing
Steam
from
Scotia
Street,
not
from
Cambridge,
but
a
little
confused
and
and
the
east
team.
Actually
that's
projected
for
a
few
years
away
from
here
from
now
right,
so
it
will
be
gas
generated
right
now.
S
So
the
has
gone
alluded
to
our
esteemed
system
is
an
integrated
grid
of
approximately
26
miles
of
steam
piping
on
the
cities
Boston
Cambridge,
so
it
it
by
connecting
to
our
steam
system,
buildings
are
connecting
in
in
a
way
to
every
one
of
the
facilities
that
generates
Steam
and
pushes
steam
into
this
grid
of
piping.
S
So
During
certain
points
of
the
Year
buildings
on
this
lateral
will
receive
some
steam
from
Scotia
some
portion
of
that,
because
it's
a
peating
facility
and
during
a
large
majority
of
the
Year
they'll,
be
receiving
East
team
and
steam
that
is
generated
at
our
candle
station.
So
it's
a
it's
a
grid
of
interconnected
pipes,
so
you
know
we
can't
simply
just
make
the
statement
that
a
building
is
connected
to
one
specific
Facility
by
connecting
to
our
system
they're,
connecting
to
multiple
facilities.
At
the
same
time,.
B
S
A
A
All
right,
excellent,
ensuring
no
other
comments.
Do
I,
hear
a
motion
to
improved
public
hearing
continued
number
two.
H
H
D
D
A
Any
of
those
are
abstain,
so
moved.
Thank
you
very
much.
I
appreciate
you
sticking
with
us
throughout
this
process
and
good
luck
with
this
project
and
with
the
decarbonization
work
that
you
have
ahead
of
you.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank.
A
X
X
X
X
There
was
one
question
that
came
up
from
the
convention
to
confirm
that
there
is
an
existing
obligation
for
improvements
at
Neko
court
and
Melcher,
which
would
be
off
screen
to
the
to
the
left.
Here
we
were
able
to
confirm
that
those
improvements
are
part
of
the
neighboring
projects.
Cooperation
agreement
with
the
bpda
and
and
Todd
Lyman
was
able
to
also
confirm
that
as
well.
X
The
landmarks
commission
had
requested.
We
present
these
improvements
prior
to
going
to
the
public
hearing
and,
as
part
of
as
part
of
this
meeting
landmarks
had
comments
about
our
our
tree
selection,
as
well
as
the
standard
City
tree
pit
detail
we're
currently
working
through
that
with
Public
Works
parks,
department
parks,
department
and
landmark
commission
to
get
that
resolved.
X
X
That
is
back
to
to
have
the
correct
clearance
from
from
the
intersection.
This
is
signal
signalized
and
the
right
turn
on
red
I
believe
is
being
consulted
with
the
city.
Still
I,
don't
think,
there's
there's
been
a
decision
on
that.
I
X
Yes,
we
have
as
well
as
it's
also
a
pushback
due
to
the
the
bus
turns
around
that
corner
as
well.
Thank
you.
C
A
All
right
do
I,
hear
a
motion
to
improve.
Oh
I'm,
sorry,
Tom,
I,
think
your
hands
is
up,
go
right
ahead.
E
Yeah
thanks
thanks
cheese,
thanks
Dad,
just
a
few
comments:
Tom
ready
live
on
the
street
member
of
the
neighborhood
Pacific
covers
Us
around
this
particular
part
of
the
city.
The
question
with
regard
to
treatments
was
related
to
structural
soil.
Could
it
be
in
fact
years
and
was
this
going
to
be
a
GSI
installation
or
not,
but
that's
still
not
resolved?
It
was
continued
out
of
landmarks,
so
it's
I,
guess
it's
unsure
what
the
process
will
be
to
make
those
decisions.
E
Two
of
the
buildings
are
multi-unit
residential
one
is
the
office.
Building
that
GSA
Partners
is
is
converting,
so
so
it
does
have
high
traffic.
We
want
the
street
trees
actually
to
to
grow
and
Thrive.
J
Y
I
guess
this
is
marketing
against
some
PHP
My
Hope
was
that
we
would
establish
the
Curves
in
the
sidewalk
limits
and
be
able
to
move
forward
on
that
and
then
leave
I.
Guess
it's
a
conditional
that
we
still
have
to
make
landmarks
happy
and
we
still
have
to
make
sure
that
Parks
is
thumbs
up
on
the
details,
but
I
think
as
far
as
curbing
sidewalk
limits
acts
as
Crossing
points.
All
that
I
think
those
will
remain
no
matter
which
treatment
detail
we
end
up
with
or
how
we,
you
know,
configure
the
root
ball.
Y
That
was,
you
know.
That
was
our
hope
that
we
could,
at
least
you
know,
take
the
first
step
and
make
sure
that
everyone's
happy
with
the
Curve
layout
and
the
access
and
then
go
back
to
landmarks
and
parts
and
and
work
out
those
details.
E
Y
B
J
K
B
In
all
this
I
know
they
and
we
certainly
appreciate
the
landmarks
commission
in
their
input,
but
details.
A
Oh
recognize,
Sarah
and
then
I
think
Kate
England
has
raised
for
him
and
she
may
have
some
thoughts
on
the
trees
as
well,
but
Sarah
your
your
hands
up
first
go
right
ahead.
G
Thank
you,
Mark
I
just
wanted
to
confirm
with
the
conversations,
but
both
with
landmarks
and
parks
that
the
treatment
Dimensions
themselves
will
stay
the
same
throughout
those
conversations.
O
Thanks
Chief
Sarah
I
had
a
similar
question
just
about
the
width
of
the
tree
pits
and
ensuring
that
the
travel
path
is
acceptable
to
for
88
compliance
and
for
Disabilities.
I
haven't
actually
looked
at
these
plans
yet
and
I
I'd
like
to
take
a
look
as
well:
I'm,
sorry
I'm,
the
England
director
of
bringing
infrastructure
for
the
city
of
Boston,
and
you
know
we
can
potentially
chat
a
little
bit
more
with
parks
and
others.
O
But
if
there's
a
potential
to
actually
have
these,
you
know
areas
manage
storm
water
in
some
way.
There's
there's,
obviously
a
new
direction
of
the
city
of
Boston,
where
we
are
moving
towards
green
infrastructure
in
our
right-of-way
we
have
a
couple
of
design
Alternatives
that
we
have
been
asking
individuals
who've
come
through
the
pic
to
incorporate
into
their
plans.
O
I
promise
you
they
are
relatively
low
effort
in
terms
of
additional
design,
so
I
would
love
to
to
chat
as
well,
and
maybe,
if
you
could
add
me
to
the
conversation
with
parks,
that
would
be
the
easiest
way
to
do.
That.
B
J
C
Z
J
E
And
then
so,
based
on
this
yeah
sorry,
and
just
one
of
the
comments
with
regard
to
the
turn
on
red,
this
is
a
high
high
traffic
area.
With
the
post
office
parking
lot.
There
we've
already
had
in
2023
two
incidents.
One
pedestrian
struck,
another
bicyclist
struck,
so
we
what
the
neighborhood
would
like
to
see
no
turn
on
turn
on
red
from
every
approach
into
this
particular
three-way
intersection.
Thank
you.
A
Yeah,
thank
you
for
that
comment.
Tom
and
I
think
we
are.
You
know
very
much
as
we
look
at
our
signal
guidelines
and
the
associated
signage
very
much
trying
to
make
sure
we
are
fully
emphasizing
pedestrian
safety
and
part
of
this.
One
of
the
benefits
of
this
work
here
is
to
improve
The,
Pedestrian
path
of
travel
and
accessibility
in
the
hopes
that
more
people
will
walk,
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
they
are
safe.
A
So
I
appreciate
that
comment
and
we'll
make
sure
that
we
are
bringing
our
full
safety
lens
on
the
BTD
side
to
to
the
the
signage
and
Associated
regulations
here.
H
Getting
here
put
it
there
and
to
be
honest,
it
used
to
be
there
so
I'm,
not
really
sure
where
it
went
so,
but
I
just
want
to
be
clear
at
it
and
and
we'll
put
this
to
bed.
A
Easy
saved
us
a
meeting
Amy.
Thank
you
all
right.
So
with
that
I
think
we
have
some
additional.
It
sounds
like
there's
some
additional
work
to
do
and
some
conversations
to
have
to
sort
through
the
final
issues
related
to
the
street
trees
with
landmarks
and
Parks.
A
But
it
sounds
like
we
are
clear
enough
on
the
items
of
of
direct
concern
to
this
commission
to
move
ahead.
So
unless
anyone
disagrees
with
that,
I
would
ask
if
there's
a
motion
to
approve
public.
K
G
A
Please
introduce
themselves
their
affiliations
and
give
a
very
brief
overview
of
what
you're
proposing
to
do.
And
if
there
are
any
updates
from
your
last.
V
Year,
thank
you
Mr
chairman
and
members
of
the
commission.
My
name
is
Brian
judge
I'm
at
the
law,
firm
of
Bolson
in
stores,
I'm
joined
today
by
Greg
contente
of
Samuels
and
Associates
and
Kevin
London
of
Elvis
Manfredi
and
Brian
Fairbanks
of
BHB.
We're
here
today
on
behalf
of
the
Massachusetts
Department
of
Transportation,
in
its
capacity
is
the
fee
owner
and
Less
store
of
air
rights,
parcel
12.
V
V
On
the
developer
agreed
for
that
area
to
be
laid
out
as
a
highway
he's
been
Instead
at
least
I.
Think
in
part,
because
there's
a
new
cycle
track
that
the
project
team
is
constructing
within
that
area.
So
we
we
know
that
the
building
elements
have
not
changed
since
then,
the
only
meaningful
change
is
going
from
The
Pedestrian
easement
to
the
highway
easement,
given
the
fact
that
the
highway
easement
doesn't
have
the
same
vertical
limits
that
we
understand
pedestrian
easements
that
do
so
when
that
change
occurred.
V
These
these
four
areas
should
have
simultaneously
been
excluded
or
horribly
discontinued,
with
the
grand
of
the
highwayism
in
2019,
so
we're
respectfully
requesting
your
approval
of
these
discontinuances
to
help
us
clean
up
and
complete
what
should
have
been
done
in
2019
and
and
that
these
discontinuance
discontinuates,
as
we
considered
as
if
they
had
in
fact
occurred
simultaneously.
V
We
do
want
to
note
that
the
discontinuance
plans
were
submitted
to
the
reviewing
public
agencies
and
utilities
and
all
have
responded
with
no
objections,
and
we
did
not
receive
any
comments
at
the
new
business
hearing.
So
with
that,
I'll
turn
it
over
to
Kevin
to
go
into
more
detail
about
the
building
elements
that
are
the
subject
of
these
discontinuances.
Thank
you
very
much.
T
Good
morning
and
thank
you
for
hearing
us,
so
nothing
has-
has
changed
since
we've
last
presented
on
March,
the
second,
so
just
quickly
for
the
sake
of
orientation.
T
Here's
the
project,
the
site
limits,
highlighted
in
red
around
the
property
we
have
Newbury
Street
to
the
North
in
this
plan,
borrows
the
streets
of
the
South
Mass
Ave
to
the
to
the
east
of
the
project.
So
this
project
consists
of
two
buildings:
there's
a
there's:
a
life
science
and
office
building
on
the
Boston
Street
side.
There's
a
hotel
on
on
the
movers
Street
side,
they're
connected
at
the
at
grade
and
grade
is
the
elevated
platform
over
the
highway.
T
So
they're
connected
it
great
by
retail
and
there's
a
there's,
a
public
Plaza
at
grade
and
there's
a
public
cloud
on
the
second
level
as
well.
There
are,
there
are
there's
infrastructure.
This
is
part
of
the
project,
that's
for
the
MBTA
there's
sort
of
bus
station.
That's
on
the
Mass
Ave
side,
there's
a
stair
head
house
which,
which
is
indicated
here
that
connects
to
a
blow
grade
station,
if
you
will,
which
is
really
just
the
connection
on
this
side
of
Mass
Ave
to
the
existing
below
grade
tunnel
that
connects
over
the
hind
station.
T
Now
so
these
are
just
some
constructive
photos
of
where
we
are
today.
The
office
life
science
building
is
the
is
the
building
in
the
in
the
foreground.
That
has
the
background
that
has
the
Assad
on
it.
The
hotel
is
the
building
on
the
right
here
that
that
you
can
just
see
the
force
Labs
built
on
Newbury
Street
is
on
the
right.
T
You
can
see
the
the
highway
on
ramp
just
just
beyond
it,
so
so
this
is
a
plan
of
the
highway
easement
that
was
done
back
in
in
2019,
and
we
just
want
to
show
this
a
sort
of
reference,
because
it
relates
to
these
vertical
discontinux.
Is
that
that
we're
showing
you
here
today
so
there
are
in
total?
There
are
four
discontinuances
one
below
grade
and
three
above
grade
I'll
start
on
the
left
side
of
the
the
image
here.
T
So
birth
discontinuance
area
is
a
below
grain
discontinuous
for
the
for
the
low-grade
station
for
the
MBTA
connection.
So
this
is
sort
of
highlighted
here.
This
is
part
of
the
below
grade
areas,
mostly
existing
just
a
little
bit
of
what
was
newly
constructed
as
part
of
the
project,
and
all
of
that
connects
back
through
this
pedestrian
tunnel
that
that's
kind
of
below
that
was
part
of
you
know,
MBTA
built
that
back
in
the
60s.
T
The
second
discontinuous
is
a
vertical
of
discontinuance,
and
that
is
for
the
portion
of
the
hotel
building
that
that
extends
out
over
this
highway
easement-
and
that's
this
triangular
area
here,
and
so
that
will
start
at
the
underside
of
the
fourth
floor
and
continue
through
the
height
of
the
building,
and
so
it's
it's
well
of
a
grade.
I
think
it's
almost
you
know
it's
almost
53
feet
to
the
underside
of
that
area.
T
The
third
is
a
small
portion
of
the
hotel
canopy,
which
is
a
part
of
the
hotel
entrance.
It's
the
Canterbury,
that's
over
the
revolving
door
that
enters
the
canopy
and
that
and
that's
a
little
over
12
feet,
but
hopefully
eight
to
the
underside
of
that
that
that
piece
and
then
the
final
vertical
discontinuance
is
happening.
T
There's
a
there's,
a
wind
mitigation
canopy
that
is
at
the
at
the
base
of
the
office
building
that
you
see
here
that
that
is
to
you
know,
improve
The,
Pedestrian
and
conditions
along
the
stretch
of
massive
and
again
that's
at
the
top
of
the
second
floor.
So
that's
that's
about
38
feet
more
or
less
to
the
underside
of
that
that
discontinuance.
A
Thank
you
very
much
commissions.
Any
questions
comments
on
this.
G
I
didn't
have
ta
had
house.
Would
that
also
include
an
elevator
with
the
stair
access.
T
Yes,
there's
and
so
after
we
will
see
if
we
lose
receipts
so
in
here.
Yes,
there's
a
this:
this
is
the
stair
access
and
there's
an
elevator.
That's
that's
incorporated
into
the
base
of
the
building
here
that
will
provide
access
to
the
to
the
full
grade
spaces.
I
I
See
is
your
building
properly
heat
press
to
ensure
that,
because
the
reason
you
want
this
vertical
discontinuance
is
your
building
is
protruding
to
the
the
roof
of
the
sidewalk?
If
I
can
put
it
that
bluntly,
yes,.
I
T
Yep
so
correct,
so
for
the
for
the
majority
of
the
height
of
that
discontinuance,
it's
it's
hotel
guest
rooms
at
the
roof
of
the
hotel
guest
rooms,
which
you
know.
I
Sorry,
the
very
last
floor
you
know:
you've
got
10
or
12
feet
of
clearance.
Todd
did
Isa
check
the
plan.
Sorry
I'm
going
to
assume
that
the
bottom
side
up
here
discontinued
area-
it
is
probably
heat,
pressed
and
there
are
no
icicles
that
are
going
to
form
over
there
and
drop
on
my
head.
T
I,
don't
understand
what
you
mean
by
heat
racing.
That's
that's!
The
facade,
the
roof.
The
roof
above
has
a
power
fit
in
is
internally
drained
that
those
drains
above
are
features
and
insulated.
I
T
This
this
particular
area
here
that
is
at
the
hotel
canopy,
will
will
have
you
know,
sort
of
the
Marquee
for
hotels.
The
hotel
will
have
its
name
as
a
sign
that
has
previously
been
approved
by
the
bpda
on
on
the
canopy
other
than
that
in
these
in
these
discontinuous
areas,
I,
don't
think,
there's
any
other
signage.
I
I'm
specifically
asking
for
electronic
billboard
signs,
because
somehow
not
this
project
a
couple
of
other
projects
in
the
Theater
District,
we
kind
of
missed
the
point
and
before
we
knew
it,
we
did
the
discontinued
areas
see
once
the
public
Improvement
commission
discontinues
the
area.
What
gets
done
there
becomes
activity
beyond
the
public,
Improvement
commission,
but
electronic
Billboards.
It
does
impact
the
same
thing
in
terms
of
the
visual
clutter.
Okay,
so
you
are
saying
that
there
are
no
electronic
advertising
billboards.
T
I
T
Yeah
I
think
Samuels
are
Brian
should
mention
that
question
yeah.
I
Assumption
so
just
make
sure,
on
behalf
of
the
pic
staff,
that
the
mbtaa
knows
that
it
is
on
their
time
and
it
is
their
legal
responsibility
and
that
they
have
acknowledged
that
if
people
just
help
us
with
that,
it
will
be
a
little
bit
more
helpful
to
us.
Yeah.
V
This
this
is
actually
explicitly
addressed
in
the
er
rights
lease
yeah,
okay,.
E
Where's,
the
is:
is
there
an
auto
drop-off
Lane
for
the
hotel?
Could
you
just
point
that
out.
T
There's
the
plans
included
a
small
drop-off
Zone
in
this
in
this
general
area.
Here,
that's
beyond
the
two
two
I
think
it's
two
lengths
of
bus
that
that
could
be
stacked
at
the
at
the
bus.
Stop.
So
beyond
that,
there's
a
drop
off
pickup
zone
on
this
app.
B
Before
but
on
your
discontinuance
area,
a
it
looks
like
you
have
two
different
upper
limits
for
different
portions
of
that
volumetric
area.
We
might
have
to
revise
the
bounding
limits
of
of
that
area,
probably
split
into
at
least
two
separate
areas,
but
I
think
we
can
work
on
that
offline
and
just
have
the
plans
updated
prior
to
submitting
my
lives.
I
V
Yeah,
so
that
that's
our
request,
we
understand
it's
been
picks
historic
practice
that
when
a
highway
isn't
slaid
out
and
there's
a
necessity
for
vertical
discontinuances
simultaneously
and
again,
this
should
have
been
simultaneous,
if
not
for
an
oversight
that
there's
not
a
vertical
discontinuance
payment
associated
with
that,
and
so
that's
our
request
here
is
that
this
was
purely
an
oversight
in
2019.
It's
not
the
result
of
design
changes
since
and
therefore
the
request
is
that
there
are
no
be
no
payments
due
they've.
B
They
have
submitted
a
letter
formally
requesting
the
waiver
of
this
discontinuency
to
the
chairman,
and
he
and
I
are
reviewing
it
together.
I
B
Yep
yep,
the
other
thought
here
is
that
they
widened
the
right-of-way
here
and
didn't
get
paid
for
that.
Right-Of-Way.
B
I
Yes,
I'm
not
trying
to
cause
the
issue
Drive
the
ongoing
concern
that
I
at
least
have
with
this
project.
It's
a
very
exciting
project
is
the
curb
utilization
of
neighboring
Street,
as
it
is
of
on-prem
to
I-90
and
the
best
street
materials
to
helping
the
city
manage
that
curve
usage
on
the
segment
of
Labor
history.
I
V
I
J
I
They
will
drop
off
on
the
hotel
sign
to
let
off
the
passengers
and
then
the
light
turns
green
or
neighbor's
screen,
and
then
we
have
a
Harvard
moment.
A
car
trying
to
speed
to
get
onto
the
I-90
online
so
do
help
us
in
terms
of
managing
that
situation.
Otherwise
the
city
is
going
to
inherit
an
awkward
moment.

A
All
right
on
to
the
new
business
section
of
our
agenda,
we'll
start
with
new
business
number
one
Jacqueline
Road
and
Sonia
Road
Bridgeland
Avenue,
West,
Roxbury,
specific
repairs
on
a
petition
by
the
city
of
Boston,
Public,
Works,
Department.
Petitioners,
please
introduce
themselves
and
let
us
know
what
you're
proposing
to
do.
AB
Hear
me
yep,
we
got
you
now
all
right
all
right!
Thank
you!
Everyone!
Oh
thank
you.
Oh
good
morning,
chairman,
oh
and
members
of
the
commission,
my
name
is
Jeffrey
luxus,
the
Public
Works
engineering
division
petitioning
for
this
specific
repairs
on
Jackson
Road
in
West
Roxbury
as
part
of
our
30
series,
roadway
reconstruction
program,
PWD
will
be,
will
be
reconstructed
in
the
roadways
and
sidewalks
to
provide
I'm
accessible
with
compliant
ramps
and
sidewalks
Jacqueline
Road.
Actually,
I
will
present
my
screen,
so
you
guys
can
see
here
we
go.
AB
Hold
it
up,
everyone
can
see
my
screen
correctly
correct,
all
right,
yep.
Thank
you.
Jacqueline
Road
has
a
as
a
substandard
residential
street.
It's
two-way
broke
with
a
width
of
35
feet.
There
are
six
foot
sidewalks,
there's
a
23
foot
Road
away,
so
we
will
be
restricting
parking
on
the
Northern
side
as
part
of
this
project.
AB
AB
As
you
can
see,
oh
zoom,
in
just
a
little
bit,
we
are
proposing
a
new
pedestrian
rep
on
this
side
of
the
street,
to
provide
a
Crossing
to
the
other
side
of
a
person.
A
person
Ave
currently
does
not
have
accessible
sidewalk
on
this
side.
It's
it's
3.5
feet
with,
including
with
the
curb
we
are
probably
looking
at
making
improvements
to
personality
in
the
future,
but
this
Pro
this
program
will
currently
look
at
Jacqueline
Road
and
some
of
the
accessible
issues
along
along
this
core.
AB
We
have
a
number
of
return
stones
that
prevent
this
side
sidewalks
on
both
sides
and
being
accessible
for
pedestrians
with
disabilities,
and
that
is
just
about
proposing
it
as
part
of
this
location.
Any
questions.
G
Hi
Jeff
I
just
wanted
to
confirm
that,
with
the
3.5
clearance
on
birchland
that
it
still
does
meet
State
accessibility
standards,
so
ovariance
would
it
be
needed
that
fact.
AB
In
terms
of
clearance,
yes,
I
believe
we
need
a
minimum
of
36
inches,
but
we're
going
to
take
according
to
Ada.
G
Okay,
thank
you,
I
think
we
will
look
forward
to
seeing
future
improvements
on
birchland,
but
we
just
wanted
to
confirm
that
and
no
variance
with
the
state
that's
needed.
I
That's
a
kind
of
a
odd
situation.
It's
like
one
of
those
chicken
or
eggs,
because
if
you
see
birchland
is
a
really
cool
food
crime
or
pain,
not
a
body
and
with
it
comes
Adam,
you
know
the
city
doesn't
have
the
option
of
buying
up
all
the
properties
and
whitening
the
right
of
way.
So
we
have
to
do
as
much
as
we
can
on
a
two-way
street
and
the
fact
that
birchland
is
a
two-way
street
bouncer
issue.
I
Okay,
so
and
we
have
80
to
manage
the
sidewalk
ranks
over
here,
and
that
is
why
we
are
starting
the
Rams
and
just
because
we
touch
the
ranch,
are
you?
The
city
doesn't
extrapolate
that
into
building
the
whole
neighborhood?
So
we
are
trying
to
take
these
in
pieces
and
not
buying
up
every
property
on
either
side
of
Birch
Lane,
to
get
it
back
to
Affordable
or
convert
the
streets
functionally
to
something
else.
I
AB
You
Sarah
yes
slowly,
but
surely
we
are
working
our
way
through
these
neighborhoods.
There
are
a
number
of
locations
in
this
neighborhood
that
need
to
be
reconstructed
and
then
we'll
take
them
as
they
as
they
come
along,
including
brushes
and
math.
A
Just
to
just
to
Sarah's
point
I
think
we
you
know
should
be
thoughtful
as
we
pursue
birchland
and
other
Street
projects
where
the
trade-off
is
potentially
between
parking
and
accessibility,
whether
that
is
in
fact
whether
how
we
want
to
address
sidewalk
with
issues.
There
certainly
are
circumstances
in
which
we
have
enough
widths,
provided
we're
willing
to
devote
a
little
bit
less
space
through
vehicle
storage.
AB
Absolutely
thank
you
Chief
yeah.
As
part
of
this
program.
We
are,
we
have
been
increased
in
this
scope
and
expanding
scope
in
regards
to
what
we
do.
This
was
mainly
a
maintenance
program,
but
we
are
looking
at
as
you
can
see,
proposing
curb
extensions
appearing
in
front
of
pic
to
make
some
of
the
the
movements
that
we
need.
We
need
to
make
on
these
residential
streets.
A
Will
you
be
ready?
You
thought
our
next
hearing
is
on
the
30th
correct,
yes,
March
30th!
All
right.
Will
you
be
ready
for
your
public
Hearing
in
two
weeks
on
March
30th?
Yes,
absolutely
all
right!
Excellent!
Thank
you
very
much,
we'll
see
you
then,
for
that
and
on
to
new
business
number
two
Leah
Haven
Road
Meadowbrook
Meadow
Bank
Avenue
River,
Street,
Ledgebrook,
Road,
South,
Pierce,
Road,
New,
crop
circle,
Dorchester
specific
repair
center,
petitioned
by
the
city
of
Boston,
Public,
Works
Department.
AB
Yes,
thanks
Chief
once
again:
Jeffrey
Alexis
city
of
Boston,
Public,
Works
engineering,
division,
petitioning
for
the
specific
repairs,
I'll
get
that
right:
the
River
Street
neighborhood
in
Mattapan.
This
includes
Lee
Haven,
Road,
ledge,
Brook,
Road,
Meadowbank,
Avenue,
South,
Mill,
Road
and
new
cross
Circle.
As
part
of
our
30
series
maintenance
program.
We
will
be
reconstructing
these
roadways
and
sidewalk
to
provide
I'm
a
proof.
Pedestrian
access
and
safety
I
will
now
share
my
screen.
So
you
can
see
exactly
what
I'm
speaking.
AB
So
this
is
a
neighborhood
that
I'm
speaking
about
this
is
off
of
River
Street
and
Madden,
pan
adjacent
to
the
Ryan
playground,
I'm
all
the
roads
that
that
are
part
of
this
Pro.
A
part
of
this
project
location,
consists
of
standard,
40,
40
foot
right
away,
two-way,
with
eight
foot
sidewalks
and
a
20-foot,
a
20
foot
foot
right
away.
AB
Existing
sidewalk
conditions
in
this
neighborhood
include
a
streamlined
grass
strip
with
variant
whiffs
on
Lee,
Haven
Road
and
on
Meadowbank
Avenue.
They
consist
of
a
4.5
foot,
that's
actually
a
three
foot
grass
strip
and
a
4.5
foot
concrete
sidewalk,
and
on
Ledgebrook
Road,
South,
Mill,
Road
and
newcroft
circle.
The
sidewalks
consisted
with
3.5
foot
grass
ship
and
a
four
foot
concrete,
sidewalk,
all
right,
so
kind
of
giving
a
little
bit
more
into
the
details.
AB
AB
As
part
of
this,
this
project
we're
also
proposing
15
new
streets,
15
New,
Street
trees
on
new
crop
circle,
and
we
will
be
replacing
17
dead
trees
that
will
be
removed.
That
we've
worked
with
the
parks
department
in
the
City
Arborist
in
order
to
determine
which
trees
should
be
removed.
That's
part
of
this
project,
but
we've
made
an
effort
to
to
retain
most,
if
not
all
the
trees
in
this
neighborhood,
even
if
they
had
some
concerns.
AB
Health
concerns
all
right,
so
diving
into
specifically
into
the
design
I'll
go
I'll
try
to
go
through
these
quickly
because
there's
a
number
of
them.
As
I
mentioned,
we
have
eight
foot
sidewalks
on
Lee
Haven
This
Grass
strip
is
three
feet
wide,
which
provides
a
four
and
a
half
foot
concrete
sidewall
for
pedestrians,
I'm
going
to
tighten
in
the
corners
at
all
these
intersections
to
provide
just
more
directional
pedestrian
ramps
to
slow
down
vehicles
that
are
making
these
times
into
this
neighborhood.
This
is
a
residential
neighborhood.
AB
There
isn't
a
lot
of
I
want
to
say,
cut
through
traffic
here,
so
it's
more
so
about
making
these
improvements
for
the
residents
that
live
in
this
area.
As
I
mentioned,
New
Street
Street
lighting
around
the
corridor
on
new
granite
curve,
two
foot
Corners,
wherever
where
wherever
we
are
removing
a
tree
due
to
the
existing
condition
of
tree
being
dead,
we
are
planting
new
ones,
as
you
can
see,
almost
these,
both
both
the
trees
and
these
existing
ones
that
are
currently
along
along
the
corridor.
AB
AB
AB
This
is
the
previous
rubber
that
we're
proposing
at
only
a
select
number
of
trees
where
the
trees
are
are
at
good.
Health,
they're,
they're,
pretty
big
trees.
This
one's
a
16
inch
Street
because
of
the
heaving
that
was
causing
the
sidewalk
about
the
tree
roots
were
also
proposing
an
asphalt
curbing
so
that
we
are
not
damaging
the
tree
roots
during
Reconstruction.
AB
We
we
will
be
unable
to
oppose
on
what
Granite
curving
in
these
larger
trees,
where
The
Roots
would
be
impacted
and
we've
done
this
treatment
in
a
number
of
areas
along
along
this
neighborhood
in
coordination
with
the
Parks
Department,
as
I
mentioned,
there's
no
Street
lighting
the
ramps
that
salt
mirror
be
reconstructed
kind
of
going
through
these
quickly
proposing
to
build
an
overlay
of
the
roadway.
AB
All
these
rules
will
be
paved
and
the
ramps
at
the
River
Street
intersection
will
be
reconstructed
that
River
Street
in
New,
cross,
Circle
and
I
believe
we're
proposing
a
ramp
across
River
Street
as
well
a
new
Crossing,
that's
the
next
one.
AB
AB
This
provides
a
a
root
for
pedestrians
residents,
constituents
in
the
neighborhood
to
get
to
the
the
local
park,
as
I
mentioned,
reconstructing
The
Pedestrian
ramps,
adding
new
Lighting
on
the
corridor.
This
is
the
proposed
big,
curb
concrete,
curbing
along
the
large
trees,
24
inch
tree,
proposing
new
trees,
where
they're
being
removed
due
to
their
health.
AB
Brampton
South,
mayor
and
Leisure
will
be
reconstructed,
New,
Street
lighting,
existing
three
and
a
half
foot
grass
strip
with
the
four
foot
sidewalks
pervious
pavers
behind
a
couple
of
the
trees
and
the
ramps
at
River,
Street
and
purple's.
Another
cross
crossing
across
South
near.
AB
And
last
but
not
least,
new
cross
Circle
we're
paying
the
ramps
on
Blue
Cross
Circle.
We
are
planting
15
trees
on
new
cross
Circle.
There
are
only
a
few
in
this
neighborhood
of
this
this
street,
as
of
as
of
today,
as
you
can
see
for
all
the
bulb
areas.
This
is
where
we're
proposing
new
trees,
New
Street
lighting,
of
course,
and
moving
on
to
the
next
sheet.
AB
Let's
go
get
through
this
more
trees,
streetlight
Improvement,
sidewalk
improvements,
previous
pavers,
behind
existing
trees
and
the
ramps
at
the
River
Street
intersection
provide
directional
ramps,
and
that
is
the
gist
of
it.
C
A
You
Jeff
two
two
questions
for
you
for
me.
So
Meadowbank
is
the
intent
to
reconstruct
the
streets
right
up
to
the
entrance
of
the
park.
A
Yes,
okay,
excellent
and
addressing
some
of
the
drainage
issues
that
exist
along
that
final
stretch
will
be
something
we
anticipate
will
be
will
be
resolved
through
this
project.
Correct.
AB
Yes,
absolutely
yeah,
and
we
have
been
in
coordination
with
Boston,
Water
and
Sewer
Commission,
to
propose
two
drainage
structures
at
that
location
to
address
the
puddling
that
that
has
been
out
there
for
for
years,
so
yeah
those
improvements
will
be
improved.
Those
those
are
those
problems
will
be
made
part
of
this
project,
which
which
would
definitely
make
the
residents
in
this
neighborhood
extremely
Happy.
A
Yes,
yes,
indeed,
I've
I've
had
the
occasion
to
ride
my
bike
through
that
permanent
Pond
a
couple
of
times
and
I
know
that
it
will
be
much
appreciated,
glad
to
hear
that
we're
going
to
be
able
to
move
up
to
that.
As
part
of
this.
A
The
second
question
is
with
the
additional
River
Street
Crossings.
This
is
a
stretch
of
River
Street.
That
I
know
has
had
some
significant
safety
concerns,
a
large
number
of
Motor
Vehicle
Craftsmen,
several
bicyclist
injury
crashes
and
generally
quite
a
bit
of
speeding
associated
with
this.
A
Are
there
any
things
that
we
can
do
understanding
that
this
project
is
not
primarily
a
River
Street
project?
Are
there
things
we
can
do
in
terms
of
signage
or
other
warning
warnings,
whether
it
be
flashing,
LED,
crosswalk
warnings
or
other
types
of
high
visibility,
signage
to
help
ensure
that
these
new
Crossings
of
River
Street
are
safe?
Given
the
conditions
and
Driver
behavior
that
we
through
here.
AB
Yeah
yeah
I,
absolutely
I
agree
with
you.
Chief
we've
been
coordinated
with
BTD
on
this,
we'll
we'll
reach
out
again
ahead
of
the
next
hearing
to
see,
if
there's
any
improvements,
any
additional
proofs
that
we
can
make
at
these
processes,
because
I
I
definitely
agree.
I
know
there
are
concerns
of
speeding
along
River
Street.
Although
this
isn't
a
registry
project,
we'll
see
what
we
can
do
to
make
it
safer
for
pedestrians,
especially
if
from
what
the
bpda
is
telling
us
like
these
are
throughout
staff.
AB
Pedestrians
take
in
order
to
get
to
the
park
so
so,
which
the
president
was
putting
these
these
Crossings
across
River
Street.
So
yeah
we'll
definitely
take
a
look
at
it
and
see
if
there's
anything
else,
that
we
can
do
to
improve
I.
I
Comments
caught
up
on
the
Chiefs
and
talk
back
in
here
about
The
Pedestrian
Crossing,
if
I'm
not
much
mistaken,
the
previous
state
Crossing
that
he's
being
proposed
he's
isolated
in
its
nature,
meaning
there's
no
stoplight
before
after
so
there
may
be
a
head
of
steam
that
car
is
taking.
So
we
don't
want
to
give
a
falsis
of
security
for
the
people
that
are
trying
to
get
to
it.
I
So,
unless
I'm
completely
overruled
a
flashing
warning
sign,
you've
activated
pedestrian,
Crossing,
okay,
whether
it
be
solar,
powered
or
electricity
around
the
electricity
put
that
thing
over
there.
Okay,
so
that's
that's
the
first
one!
Obviously
you
know
with
the
concurrence
of
the
Boston
transportation
department,
because
that
is
meeting
there,
but
strongly
recommend
in
that
fashion.
Second
thing:
this
whole
neighborhood
has
a
lot
of
mature
trees
and
due
to
a
variety
of
what's
the
recipe
for
me,
so
it
is
questionable
pruning
of
those
spray
stools
accommodate
the
overhead
ever
Source
wires.
I
I
This
is
a
hearing,
so
so
we
are
abiding
by
the
roads
and
regulations
of
the
parts
department
identifying
whether
this
tree
is
healthy
or
unhealthy,
whether
it's
a
public
safety
hazard
or
not,
but
the
whole
neighborhood
has
really
mature
trees.
So
this
is
my
long-winded
way
of
saying
our
tree.
Peak
area
is
limited
by
the
size
of
the
grass
spring.
Here's
my
appeal,
rather
than
putting
a
little
two-week
sampling.
I
Okay,
when
we
plant
a
new
tree
plant,
the
biggest
tree
which
we
can
put
that
can
be
supported
within
the
within
that
glass
strip,
where
the
root
bulb
is
such
where,
if
you
can
plant
the
tree
and
coordinated
construction
where
the
sidewalks
are
not
built
at
the
root
bulk
is
too
big.
I
That
needs
to
go
into
the
tree
pit.
Okay
and
then
the
contractor
shave
off
the
root
bulb
and
the
tree
dies.
So
there's
a
non-wheel
day
for
me
to
say:
let's
pay
the
extra
dollars
to
get
a
higher
caliper
tree
that
can
match
the
the
neighborhood
okay.
Otherwise,
it's
going
to
look
like
really
really
out
of
whack
with
some
very
tall
50.
You
know
50
foot
tall
trees
with
a
huge
flowmage
and
this
tiny
little
sample.
That's
going
to
look
like
out
of
place.
Okay.
AB
Yeah
we'll
we'll
search
Facebook,
some
larger
Capper
caliper
trees.
Thank
you.
O
Thanks
Jude
Jeff:
are
you
rebuilding
the
grass
strips
too
or
just
the
sidewalk
yeah?
Okay,
great,
maintain.
O
That's
about
maybe
not
mounting
the
grass
strips,
like
we've,
been
doing
on
our
new
projects
that
we've
been
working
on
so
that
you
are
allowing
stormwater
to
enter
those
areas
and
water,
the
nutrients,
meaning
just
it's
a
re-grading
issue.
Is
it?
Would
it
be
okay
to
chat
about
not
having
the
grass
strips
be
mounted.
AB
Yes,
we
can
chat
about
it.
Yeah,
okay,
cool.
O
All
right
and
power
to
your
point,
any
runoff,
that's
getting
into
those
new
graph
strips
to
where
the
new
trees
are
planted,
should
help
the
trees,
establish
faster
and
keep
them
alive.
I
Absolutely
absolutely
okay,
and
you
know
the
ABS,
where
we
are
not
putting
the
calm
the
granite
is
stored
and
a
spawn
I
would
very
much
like
if
that
asphalt
is
permeable,
so
that
the
water
can
work
its
way
deep
to
that
prepaid.
Okay,
the
whole
idea
is
to
capture
as
much
of
a
storm
water
and
get
into
the
trees
and
to
keep
the
nucleus,
especially
the
new
tree,
saucer
plus
the
whole
trees,
so
that
we
are
not
killing
these
things
which
we
are
going
to
plant.
Q
A
Other
other
questions
comments.
Commissioners.
A
To
new

number
three
Babson

Petitioners,
please
introduce
or
reintroduce
themselves,
and
let
us
know
what's
being
proposed
here.

Again,
Rodeo
done
with
Carrollton
Associates
supporting
the
public
works
department
and
Boston
transportation
department
before
you
is
a
specific
repair
plan.
The
well
three-way
intersection
between
Babson

across
the

Babson

is
a
public
street
with
a
50
foot
wide
layout,
Dell
High

has
a
variable

Acrossman

has
a
40-foot
layout.
AC
Currently,
the
traffic
control
are
not
very
well
defined
by
the
white
pavement
area
between
these
three
streets.
That
plant
in
front
of
you
provides
new,
curb
lines
to
support
the
traffic
control
across
the
street,
stops
at
Delhi,
Street
and
then
further
down.
Bell
high
speed

a
stock
control
entering
Backson

The
additional
space
created
by
the
new
curb
line,
primarily
along
Crosman

to
Babson
Street,
also
widens
The
Pedestrian

space.

Walking
path
between
Delhi

and
Babson

there
are
a
number
of
ventilators
in
this

just
west
of

As
Dan
mentioned,
the
additional
space
created
by
the
relocation
of
the
curb
line
is
being
used,
one
that
will

allowing
to
percolate

then
exit
on
Crossman,

and
we
enter
the

Drainage
flow.
AC
This
area
is
depressed
again,
allowing
stormwater
water
to
enter
it
percolate
and
then
also
water
plantings.
There's
a
landscape
plan
with
low-level

that
are
appropriate
to
maintain
sight
lines
for
the
adjacent
crosswalks
across
the

and
across
Delta
and
across
Babson.
In
addition
to
the
bio
retention
area,
we're
proposing
pervious
spaces
that
use
loam
and
mulch
for
cover
on
the
corners
of

Around
The

Rams
on

Corners,
the
request
of
the
public,
the

works
department,
Lighting
Group,
we're
adding
two
new
street
lights
to
enhance
the
lighting
around

crosswalks
and
Crosman,
and
at
Delhi,
and
we're
relocating
to
existing
lights,
closer
to
the
new
Edge
lines,
to
again
promote
better
visibility
for
pedestrians,
but
in
the
the
roadway
space
I'll.
Take
any
questions.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
It's
both
of
you
Commissioners
questions.
I
I
So
did
you
coordinate
any
of
the
improvements
that
are
being
done
on
a
couple
of
things
with
the
state
right
of
way
that
involves
the
bridge?
Okay,
that's
one!
Two!
You
are
coming
up
a
vertical
curve
over
that
bridge.
You
are
tightening
a
lot
at
this
intercession.
Do
you
have
any
concerns
about
the
incremental
Dynamics
on
traffic
flow?
That
is
happening
at
this
intersection,
with
the
fact
that
you
got
cars
coming
off?
That's
saying,
I'm,
assuming
you
know
our
backside.
I
Street
gets
used
as
a
cut
through
traffic
to
avoid
Blue,
Hill,
Avenue
and
there's
a
lot
of
traffic
that
goes
through
here.
I
go
through
here
and
just
the
concern
about
the
speed
of
cost
that
is
going
to
come
over
the
bridge.
The
fact
that
you're
coming
over
a
vertical
curve
and
suddenly
at
the
very
foot
of
this
vertical
curve,
you
are
going
to
have
more
restricted
activity.
So
you
need
to
sort
of
think
through
that
thing
and
tell
us
what
your
thoughts
are.
I
There's
one
two
you've
got
to
tell
Heist
tell
high
or
daily
whichever
the
street
is
okay
and
Crossman,
which
street
carries
more
vehicular
traffic,
and
hopefully
we
you
can
tell
us
the
logic
as
to
why
you
are
dead,
ending,
not
dead.
You
are
bringing
Craftsman
to
daily
versus
the
other
way
around.
Okay,
so
like
existing
conditions,
and
if
you
can
just
walk
us
through
that
thinking
and
all
of
that
good
stuff
and
I'm
going
to
assume
you
are
incorporating
as
much
brief
infrastructure
as
possible
to
the
recaptured
land.
That's
that
goes
without
saying.
AC
Been
paying
for
those
questions
on
the
first
question
related
to
the
bridge,
the
improvements
were
designed
to
stop
before
the
brake
development,
so
we're
we're.
We've
designed
the
Improvement
in
such
a
way
not
to
impact
the
the
abutments,
not
just
the
structure
itself.
Obviously,
that
a
button
extends
beyond
what
we
see
as
the
superstructure
of
that.
AC
AC
On
the
question
about
the
impact
on
traffic
we're
using
both
signing
and
our
field
evaluation,
we've
done
a
site
site
line
evaluation
at
this
location
or
understand
what
the
assignments
are,
and
for
that
reason
we
are
keeping
the
the
curb
extension.
You
know
within
the
the
parking
space
or
shoulder
area
of
Babson
we're
re-striping
the
traffic
lane
on
Babson
to
reinforce
the
the
existing
two-lane
traffic
pattern.
AC
Today,
Delhi
and
crosswind
I
believe
have
similar
traffic
patterns,
their
neighborhood
streets,
both
streets
are
signed
for
no
truck
traffic,
so
this
is
really
just
residential
traffic
on
both
these
streets,
as
I
mentioned
in
the
introduction
Crossman,
even
though
I
agree,
it
is
that
the
legal
extension
that
you
think
on
the
intersection
between
these
three
streets
is
Crosman
and
Babson
is
stop
controlled,
so
to
Crossman
is
currently
stock
controlled.
Entering
this
space
and
Delhi
entry
has
the
stop
control
at
the
intersection.
AC
The
the
stop
sign
is
hosted
on
from
Delhi,
so
we've
tried
to
reconfigure
the
intersection
to
to
also
take
advantage
of
you
know
what
what
what
residents
are
used
in
terms
of
the
existing
regulations
and
traffic
patterns
through
these
at
this
this
area,
that
just
answer
your
questions
well,.
I
It's
your
call,
let
me
say
it
in
another
way:
it
is
the
faster
transportation
department
is
called
as
to
the
identification
of
Crossman
street
that
today
on
our
street
book,
you
know
intersex
Babson.
So
today,
now
classmates
we
eat
the
same
they'll
ice
cream
and
then
the
portion
of
Crosman
between
the
intersection
of
Delhi
to
Babson,
okay,
the
the
street
limits
is
a
little
bit
interesting.
It's
another
again.
I
There
are
many
ways
which
one
could
have
solved
this
problem
other
than
the
fact
that
across
Minnesota
on
Delhi,
then
High
Street
and
then
continues
in
the
awkward
way
so
I'm
sure
you
have
given
it
all
the
thought
that
it's
necessary
to
sort
out
the
conditions.
The
traffic
circulated,
steady,
States
and
all
of
that
good
stuff.
Okay,
it's
it's
us
and
beauty
school
I'm,
just
voicing
a
tiny
thought
on
Minecraft.
I
B
C
You
great
we'll
see
you
in
two
weeks.
Thank
you
very
much.

69
and
William
Street
in
Jamaica
Plain.
The
proposed
development
includes
the
construction
of
three
separate
buildings
in
two
different
areas.
First,
building
will
be
built
along
the
frontage
along
the
Washington
Industries
between
Garland
and
William
Street.
AD
Behind
that
there
will
be
building
number
two
we'll
live
with
an
address
of
60
William
Street
will
be
constructed
and
blasted
a
third
building,
the
constructed
at
the
intersection
of
me
and
Williams,
with
an
address
of
69
for
industry
next
slide,
please
here's
another
aerial
overview
of
the
building
Footprints,
as
I
mentioned.
AD
The
first
building
that
was
formed
on
Washington
Street
will
include
a
ground
floor
ever
been
grocery
markets
from
cost
me
4
000
square
feet,
but
also
include
the
Redevelopment
of
the
Doyle's
Cafe,
upon
which
a
four-story
residential
building
will
be
constructed,
which
will
house
16
units.
There
will
also
be
a
Outdoor
Cafe
space
on
top
of
the
roof
of
the
market.
Space
there's
also
Austria
parking
both
covered
uncovered
for
that
market
and
cafes.
AD
Behind
that
building,
there
is
a
four-story
residential
building
which
will
include
seven
units
and
all
street
parking,
that
is,
the
60
Williams
street
address
and
then
across
Williams
Street,
at
intersection
with
me,
and
the
third
building
will
be
a
three-story
building
housing.
Six
Austria
units,
including
sorry,
including
six
units
at
all
street
parking
next
slide,
lose
money.
We
have
a
couple
of
existing
conditions,
images
for
you
and
some
proposed
renderings.
This
image
is
of
the
existing
dollars,
Cafe
taken
at
the
intersection
of
Washington
and
William
Street.
AD
This
is
the
proposed
project
again:
Singham
Grand
Floridians
Redevelopment
of
the
tallest
Cafe,
with
the
new
ground
floor,
Market
on
which
you'll
see
the
Outdoor
Cafe
space
and
then
for
the
mass
of
that
the
Forester
residential
unit
on
the
right
hand,
side
of
this
image
as
well.
You
can
see
two
vertical
beige
kind
of
columns
with
three
Decks
that
is
actually
the
60
William
Street
Building
on
building
number
two
as
I
refer
to,
but
we
have
another
slide
to
show
you
that
rendering.
AD
So
this
is
now
standing
on
William
Street,
looking
South,
the
60
William
Street
Building
will
be
built
on
the
parking
lot
on
the
left-hand
side
and
then
the
69
William
Street
building
that
will
be
built
on
the
right
side
between
that
utility
pool
and
the
growth
curse
again
from
the
same
Vantage
Point.
Here's
a
proposed
rendering
of
that
the
60
William
Street
is
the
is
the
building.
Second
building
on
the
left,
with
the
great
facade
with
the
six
balconies
development.
AD
Next
slide,
please
mate.
As
a
result
of
the
project,
the
there
will
be
improvements
in
public
way,
so
we
prepared
three
specific
repair:
fines
for
those
improvements,
starting
at
Washington
Street,
we're
looking
to
separate
that
existing
Apex
ramp
at
the
intersection
of
Williams
and
the
Washington
Street.
So
that
will
include
curb
every
alignment:
pet
driver
reconstruction,
not
the
relocation
of
one
traffic
signal.
It
would
also
include
the
installation
of
three
new
Street
trees,
new
cement,
concrete
sidewalks
and
new
bike
racks.
AD
Somebody
over
on
Williams
and
Main
Street
improvements
have
been
put
a
gradually,
including
a
new,
concrete
sidewalks,
curb
realignment
and
new
adoramic
construction
across
Main
Street
next
slide.
AD
Please
and
lastly,
on
guard
Industries
coming
down
from
Washington
Street
improvements
in
public
radio
include
two
three
new
Street
trees,
cement,
concrete
cell
walks
and
some
Forest
pavers
as
a
result
of
the
improves
in
the
portal
graduate
and
the
superherit
plans,
and
an
important
to
see
in
the
Granite
City
Kardashian
eastmans,
the
first
of
which
mean
on
Karen
Street,
which
would
extend
from
Washington
Street
in
the
southern
direction
for
approximately
122
feet,
approximately
three
and
a
half
feet
wide
for
a
total
area
of
429
square
feet.
AD
And
then
somebody
over
on
Williams
and
Main
Street,
everyone
was
seeking
the
ground
to
production
management
for
the
improvements
of
the
public
right
away,
Along
William
Street.
That
would
include
extending
information
for
approximately
115
feet,
but
approximately
six
inches
wide
coming
around
a
corner
onto
Main
Street.
It
would
extend
approximately
110
feet
approximately
less
than
seven
feet
for
a
total
area
of
917
square
feet.
O
Sorry
I
forget
that
everybody
else
go
first,
I've
talked
a
lot
today,
James
just
hoping
you
and,
and
the
design
team
and
I
can
maybe
connect
just
to
chat
through
the
email
I
sent
you
yesterday.
Yesterday.
Sorry,
if
it
was
yesterday,
it
might
have
been
yesterday
again
minimal
changes
that,
hopefully
will
save
money
during
construction.
If
we
are
able
to
integrate
them.
Does
that
work
for
you,
yeah.
AD
Just
right
here
we
receive
comments.
Yes,
it's
in
case
so
yeah
we've
taken
those
under
advisement.
We
just
need
to
yeah
regroup
and
take
those
comments
off.
So
we
didn't
have
the
opportunity
to
make
any
changes
for
today's
presentations,
but
we
certainly
you
know,
would
incorporate
any
of
those
changes
before
we
come
back
for
the
public
hearing.
O
Yeah
I
I
put
an
email
as
well.
I
did
not
expect
anything
before
I
did
anyway.
So
thank
you
all
for
for
your
time
and
we'll
chat
sometime
between
now
and
you're.
Hearing
thanks.
Thank.
AD
B
No,
these
guys
have
gone
through
a
very
robust
review
process
with
everybody.
Basically,
so
we
appreciate
their
working
with
everyone
to
to
get
to
a
design
that
I
think
everybody
could
be
happy
with.
A
Indeed,
this
has
been
a
long,
a
long
project
to
get
here
so
appreciate
it.
Will
you
be
ready
before
your
public
hearing
on
this
in
two
weeks
on
March
30th?
Yes,
we
will.
A
On
two
new
business
number:
five
595
Albany,
Street,
East,
Canton,
Street,
Boston,
Proper,
vertical
discontinuances,
specific
repairs
and
a
set
of
petitions
by
LPB,
Albany,
LLC
and
the
boss
will
be
Development,
Authority,
EBA,
Austin,
Planning
and
Development
agency
with
bronens.
Please
introduce
themselves
their
affiliations
and
give
us
an
overview
of.
W
So,
just
to
orient
you,
the
building
that
was
existing
at
the
site
when
these
photos
were
taken,
but
has
now
gone,
formerly
owned
by
the
Baha'I
religion
and
it
was
used
as
their
religious
headquarters
for
a
period
of
time.
Isd
issued
a
violation
notice,
as
the
building
was
structurally
unsound
and
literally
was
falling
in
on
itself.
There
was
temporary
Shoring
at
the
site
for
a
period
of
time
to
determine
whether
any
portion
of
the
building
could
be
saved.
But,
ultimately,
ISD
issued
a
final
demolition
order
and
the
building
has
since
been
demolished.
W
W
This
is
a
rendering
of
where
we
ended
up
with
the
Southland
landmarks
commission.
It
was
an
extended
process
very
much
related
to
having
some
usable
outdoor
space
for
all
of
the
units
without
making
a
traditional
balconies
that
project
out,
which
is
something
that
the
Southland
landmarks
commission
discourages
so
literally
between
the
architectural
team
that
stacking
company
and
the
landmarks
Commissioners.
W
Here's
just
some
perspectives
and
relationship
to
the
buildings
in
the
neighborhood
at
the
street
level.
We
have
this
handsome
Corner
location
for
retail
space
again,
which
was
the
product
of
input
from
the
Blackstone
Franklin
Square
neighbors
Association.
Initially
it
was
just
a
storefront
and
they
asked
that
the
retail
space
be
wrapped
around
the
corner,
leaving
some
space
for
outdoor
usage-
and
you
can
see
here
above
will
be
the
condition
of
the
vertical
projection
of
the
building,
as
it
relates
to
the
usable
outdoor
Street
space.
W
W
So
in
order
to
achieve
that,
we
saw
approval
from
the
bpda
for
a
demonstration
project
which
allows
the
bpda
to
take
the
airspace
which
they
have
done.
That
was
approved
on
February
16
of
this
year
and
an
order
of
taking
has
been
entered
by
the
bpda,
which
will
then
result
in
my
client
purchasing
the
air
rights
from
the
bpda
in
order
to
affect
the
construction
of
the
building
along
these
lines.
W
Let's
see
so
again,
the
discontinuance
area
is
along
East,
Canton
Street
on
the
side
of
the
building
and
Albany
Street
in
the
front
of
the
building,
and
then
these
two
inserts
just
show
the
vertical
view
of
each
of
those
spaces.
It
is
approximately
3.69
feet
projecting
out
in
the
front
on
Albany
Street
and
projects
3.29
feet
along
the
East
Canton
Street
side.
W
H
W
H
W
W
And
not
like
a
a
full
Street
opening,
yeah
I'm
I,
think
that
would
require
coordination
with
the
Smith
and
I'm,
not
sure
that
we
can
do
it
based
on
the
usage
of
Thorn
Street
by
some
of
the
other
buildings
adjacent
to
us.
But
we
can
certainly
take
a
look
at
that.
B
Mark
I
get.
We
have
a
standard
detail
for
that
race.
Crossing
I'll
share
that
with
you
and
work
with
you
and
your
design
team
to
to
flush
out
the
feasibility
of
that
okay.
H
J
G
You
Amy
yeah.
We
should
check
on
the
complaints
of
that
and
see
what
it
would
take
to
choose
what
that
ramp.
That
would
be
appreciated
and
then,
if
the
pinch
point
between
the
the
newly
planted
tree
and
the
building
piece
could
just
be
clarified
with
the
dimension
that
they
you'll
end
up
with
eight
feet,
something,
but
just
to
clarify
that
on
the
plans
and
then
additionally,
you
did
mention
a
possible
outdoor,
dining
use
or
gathering
use.
I
W
Certainly
I
have
been
the
land
use
and
permanent
attorneys
and
took
it
to
the
zoning
board
and
the
landmarks
process,
like
it's
been
a
two-year
process
thus
far.
I
Thank
you
Ma,
so
Mark
help
us
on
the
following
front,
because
this
is
still
new
business.
Okay,
so
East
Canton
is
a
one-way
Street
and
it
is,
in
my
opinion,
a
54
one-way
Street
just
promotes
questionable
Behavior
by
waterways.
So
that
is
issue.
One
second
issue
is
Albany
is
a
very
wide
screen,
so
I'm
always
concerned
about
the
right
turning
traffic
from
Albany
to
a
one-way,
East
Campbell.
Okay,
so
a
few
years
ago,
the
building
properties
along
East
Camp,
East
Canada,
have
one
flavor.
I
Now
that
flavor
is
changing
to
huge
presidential,
so
think
about
the
pedestal:
safety,
vehicular
safety,
general
safety
of
a
one-way
street.
That
is
50
feet
wide.
That's
issue,
one
issue,
two
thought
I
need
your
help
on
this
fund.
I,
don't
remember
what
pic
plants
look
like
for
the
site
for
the
specific
repairs
of
the
adjacent
property,
because
it's
a
month
makes
a
multi-building
huge
I'm,
not
sure
whether
bbba
sold
off
city
land.
You
know
and
the
building's
run
so
Mark,
hopefully
I'm,
making
some
sense
to
you.
I
You
I
hope
your
Urban
Design
perspective
that
the
building
envelope
matches
whatever
the
hecticity
is
approved
to
your
adjacent
property
and
use
it
as
a
application.
Property
name
is
what
was
it
called:
Smith
property
or
the
Smith?
The
Smith
awesome
awesome.
Okay,
so
there
has
to
be
a
consistent
public.
Besides
vocabulary,
that's
the
one
that
is
outside
public
I
mean
the
city
of
world,
the
public,
Improvement,
commission,
okay,
the
urban
decide,
but
the
sidewalk
treatment
needs
to
be
consistent.
I
It's
just
a
series
of
concrete
buildings,
and
you
are
you-
have
a
50-foot
roadway,
so
there
there
are
a
few
things
that
are
a
little
bit
hustling
for
me
as
to
what
we
collectively
might
be
asking
your
property
is
an
entrance
property
for
each
campaign
when
you
come
up
Albany,
so
at
least
in
my
silly
way
of
saying
it,
yours
should
be
the
nicest
grandest
looking
thing,
because
that's
a
interest
for
entrance
slash
focal
point
if
I'm
making
any
sense
to
you
mark,
you
can
run
with
it
from
here.
Yes,.
W
Indeed,
and
I
can
tell
you
that
as
part
of
the
advisor
of
the
board
of
appeal
of
decision,
they
impose
bpda
design
review,
so
the
Urban
Design
review
has
fully
occurred.
Alexa
pinard
was
our
design
reviewer
at
bpda
and
Alexa
has
approved
our
plans.
From
that
perspective.
I
Awesome,
so
it
is
the
division
experience
on
a
one-way
screen
that
has
the
current
and
future
potential
of
a
car
that
goes
a
little
bit
faster
and
you
are
introducing
lots
of
home
owner
residences
could
also.
This
is
not
all
officers.
These
are
homeowners
right,
dwelling
units,
okay,
property
dwelling
units,
these
property
dwelling
units.
There
are
more
people
that
are
going
to
be
walking
along
East
Canton.
They
may
want
to
cross
the
street
onto
the
opposite
side
and
we
just
need
to
manage
so
a
lot
of
bdd
type
issues
controlling
Street,
I.
I
K
H
In
because
the
ramp
and
the
clearance
to
the
ramp
would
be
pushed
out,
and
that
would
give
you
more
of
a
dining
area.
And
you
know
to
pinch
points
such
as
ramps
and
lights
and
such.
I
A
Two
two
questions
for
me:
so
of
the
three
street
lights
you
are
touching.
Two
of
them
are
known
as
we
replace
the
two
lungs
Canton
they're
being
shined,
with
her
face
with
Acorn
fixtures.
The
one
on
albany's
food,
which
is
a
concrete
pole,
is
being
shown
as
simply
a
relocation.
A
Have
you
been
in
contact
with
the
street
lighting
division
about
that
Albanese
people?
Are
the
plans
correct
that
you're
simply
relocating
or
replacing
in
kind
existing
Pole,
or
has
there
been
any
discussion
of
converting
that
to
a
double
Acorn?
As
you
see
a
little
bit
up
the
street
on
Albany
on
the
other
side,
I.
H
Double
check
with
that
one
and
I
know
that
they
had
the
old
like
Globe
lollipops
on
East
Canton
that
you're,
you
guys
are
already
doing,
but
we
already
did
the
section
that's
in
front
of
that
I
don't
know
the
building
with
its
own
Park.
Behind
the
gate,
Paul
got
the
double
acorns.
A
The
Biola,
yeah
I
I
think
the
concern
maybe
spacing
here,
because
it,
the
existing
fixtures,
are
taller
higher
wattage
fixtures
more
distant.
Spacing
apart.
It
looks
like
in
front
of
the
bu
building
we
converted
to
double
a
corn,
but
at
a
narrow,
Earth
spacing
so
there
may
be
a
light
levels
question
here,
but
the
street
lighting
division
should
be
able
to
advise
but
to
Amy's
point
I,
think
long
term,
there's
a
plan
to
replace
the
style
of
fixture
located
along
the
street.
A
A
Second
question
relates
to
the
adjacent
the
sidewalk
of
the
adjacent
building
along
Albany
and
the
transition
there
there's
a
I
believe
it's
a
dispensary
of
some
kind.
Yes
located
directly
next
to
you
with
a
with
a
asphalt,
sidewalk
former
driveway,
something
not
very
accessible.
A
How
are
you?
Can
you
tell
me
how
you're
going
to
continue
to
handle
that
transition
and
whether
there's
been
any
conversation
about
extending
your
sidewalk
replacement
work
further
down
albany's
feet
beyond
the
area,
immediately
adjacent
to
your
parcel
to
create
a
contiguous,
accessible,
concrete
sidewalk
along
the
Albany.
W
Well,
as
known
on
the
plan
prepared
by
the
engineers,
it
says,
transition
to
meet
existing
grades,
so
I
think
you
know
the
intent
is
to
to
do
that.
But
I
don't
believe,
there's
been
any
discussion
to
extend
it
further
down.
Albany
Street.
A
Okay,
there
is
a
curb
return.
It
looks
like
on
your
sort
of
in
front
of
your
property.
That
is
it's
a
little
unclear
to
me.
You
know
what
that,
how
that's
being
handled
here,
if
that's
just
being
left
in
place
or
whether
that's
being
removed.
B
B
A
Yeah,
no
completely
appreciate
that
and
just
want
to
make
sure
Todd
that
you
and
the
and
the
engineers
have
had
a
chance
to
review
that
transition
point
and
the
associated
Granite
curb
Stone
around
there
to
make
sure
that
you're
comfortable
that
it
is
giving
us
the
the
best
that
we
can
hope
to
get
in
terms
of
how
that
transition
happens.
Yeah.
A
J
Not
really
used
as
a
driveway
anymore,
it
looks
like.
B
It's
just
kind
of
storefront,
so
it's
unfortunate
that
you
know
the
it's
being
left
or
in
in
the
situation
that
it
is
but
again
I
think
we're
going
to
try
to
do
the
best
that
we
can
and
leave
as
much
of
a
blind
situation
as
possible.
It's.
H
Also
parking
and
enforcement
Gray
Zone.
They
have
requested
us
to
sign
it
as
15
minute
parking,
but
we
can't
sign
former
voting
doc
that
has
not
right
like
there.
This
curve
should
be
I.
This
isn't
the
problem
of
this
project
team,
but
this
could
be
made
better
for
everybody
with
very
little
effort.
A
There
well
we
can.
We
can
perhaps
take
that
conversation
to
the
dispensary
being
a
high
margin
business.
Perhaps
they
can
be
Partners
in
that
resolving
in
the.
A
Yep
all
right,
there
are
more
questions
for
me.
Other
Commissioners
questions
comments.
W
I'm
not
sure
it's
been
recorded,
but
Matt
Donovan
staff
attorney
at
bpda
sent
me
a
copy
of
it.
It's
been
signed
by
the
director
so
if
it
hasn't
been
recorded,
I
think
the
plan
is
to
do
that
soon.
B
Okay,
yeah,
so
that
will
just
need
to
be
recorded
before
this
commission
can
vote
to
approve
your
discontinuances.
So
I
think
we
can
go
ahead
and.
B
A
All
right
will
you
be
ready
for
your
public
hearing.
