B
C
Everybody,
my
name
is
kirsty
excited
to
be

boston
transportation
department
and
I
am
joined

well
by
rob
guptill
from
mbta
who's,

Everyone
I'll,
provide
you
with
a
quick
update
on
on
the
compass
highway
project
and
where
we're
at
we
currently
ended
the
trial
on
cummins
highway
in
october
of
2021
and
until
construction
begins,
which
we're
hoping
to
happen
sometime,
hopefully
next
year,
end
of
next
year.
B
The
comments,
however,
will
remain
as
it
currently
is
right
now,
which
is
what
it
was
prior
to
the
pilot,
but
but
last
year,
and
also
during
the
pilot
we
collected
data
on
the
traffic
speeds,
the
travel
times
and
solicited
feedback
from
residents
and
community
about
your
experience
of
the
one
lane
in
each
direction.
If
you
have
any
questions,
we
ask
that
you
please
visit
the
boston.gov,
slash
cummins
highway
website
to
review
the
data
that
we
collected.
B
There's
a
lot
of
information
about
the
project,
the
meetings
that
we've
had
in
the
past,
the
meetings
that
we've
hosted
in
regards
to
the
the
design
elements
that
we
were
looking
at
for
cummins
highway.
We
we've
also
provided
the
community
feedback
that
we
received
from
the
commentary
project.
So
we
ask
that
you
please,
if
you
want
to
look
into
comments
highway
more
and
you
haven't.
If
you've
missed
a
number
of
meetings
in
the
past,
please
visit
our
website.
B
B
All
right
so
come
in
this
highway.
We
cannot
produce
this
design
without
your
input.
When
we
we
want
people
to
be
more
involved,
people
have
been
involved,
we
want
you
to
be
involved
and
what
we
plan
on
doing
and
designing
for
cumberland
highway.
This
design
will
essentially
be
what
comes
highway
is
for
the
next
70
years,
so
we
want.
We
want
you
to
be
involved
in
to
shape
how
how
the
design
comes
out.
B
So
why
are
we
planning
to
reconstruct
cummins
highway?
Cummins
highway
hasn't
been
updated
since
the
spring
of
1955.,
as
you
can
see
on
the
streetcars,
ran
around
ran
along
the
road
which
were
removed
in
1953
to
actually
make
space
for
cars.
The
current
street
layout
of
cummins
highway
reflects
the
priorities
of
1950s,
which
was
to
enable
non-residents
to
drive
quickly
through
this
neighborhood.
B
So
for
the
commerce
highway
reconstruction,
what
we
plan
on
doing
is
re
is
completely
rebuilding
the
street.
That
includes
the
sidewalks,
the
curbs
we
plan
on
installing
new
street
lights
and
new
traffic
signals
and,
of
course,
we're
going
to
be
repaving
the
roadway
and
replacing
and
updating
utilities
as
necessary,
as
as
you
guys
know,
if
you've
been
on
my
comments,
however,
national
grid
is
currently
out
there
relaying
or
they
were
out
there.
I
mean
the
winter
prior
to
the
winter,
relaying
their
gas
men
along
the
corridor.
B
B
B
Lastly,
we
collaborate
with
the
residents
to
advance
your
goals
at
the
end
of
the
day.
This
is
your
neighborhood.
You
live
here.
You
get
up
and
travel
and
travel
throughout
these
neighborhoods.
We
want
community
to
be
aware
and
participate
in
efforts
that
essentially,
that
you
care
about,
and
we
hope
to
confirm
your
vision
for
what
the
future
projects
but
the
future.
Your
future,
through
these
projects,.
D
D
D
D
We've
also
been
coordinating
with
the
mbta
on
the
best
locations
challenges
that
they've
seen
on
the
corridor,
making
sure
that
their
feedback
is
incorporated
into
the
plan.
So,
even
though
we
are
working
with
the
service
planning
team
again,
the
the
point
of
this
call
tonight
is
to
really
talk
about
the
design
and
the
location
of
the
bus
stops
the
mbta's
actual
like
number
of
buses
that
they
run
is
sort
of
separate
to
this
project,
but
definitely
part
of
the
conversation.
D
So
a
few
things
that
we
think
about
when
we
are,
you
know
kind
of
starting
with
a
blank
slate.
The
way
we
are
with
commons
highway
is
that
you
know
we
need
the
bus
stops
to
be
close
to
where
you
all
are.
People
who
are
gonna
take
the
bus,
but
if
they're
too
close
together,
what
happens?
Is
that
the
bus,
just
it
takes
forever
because
we're
stopping
every
block?
D
So
we
have
to
find
a
balance
between
accessibility
and
availability
to
nearby
residents,
while
also
making
sure
that
you
know
the
bus
can
keep
up
with
its
schedule.
So
we
looked
at
a
few
things
to
help
inform
where
the
bus
stops
should
be
for
cummins
highway
going
forward.
So
the
first
thing
that
we
did
was
look
at
census
data
and
I'm
going
to
look
at
that,
a
little
more
detail
with
you
and
we
also
looked
at
the
distance
between
the
stops
so
next
slide.
D
So,
looking
at,
where
do
we
have
a
lot
of
youth,
knowing
that
kids
take
the
bus
to
school
on
a
regular
basis,
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
had
bus
stops
that
served
where
we
had
the
most
number
of
youth
on
this
map.
You
can
see
that
darker
blobby
blue
area,
that
is
south
of
cummins
highway
between
rugby
road
and
the
fairmont
line,
is
where
we
see
the
highest
concentration
of
youth
who
live
in
the
neighborhood
today.
D
D
There
we
go
and
then
we
also
looked
at
where
people
with
disabilities
live
in
the
neighborhood.
So
we
do
have
a
pretty
high
population
of
folks
who
have
at
least
one
type
of
disability,
whether
that's
visual,
disability
or
physical
disability,
and
you
can
see
that
we
have
quite
a
bit
just
to
the
west
of
the
rugby
savannah
intersection,
and
then
we
also
have
some
that
are
down
by
the
rockdale
river
south
of
cummins
highway
area.
D
Next
so
and
then,
as
I
mentioned,
we
do
look
at
how
far
stops
are
spaced,
because
if
they're
too
close
together,
you
know
the
bus
driver
is
constantly
pulling
over.
It
also
means
that
we
can't
use
that
curb
space
for
other
things
like
parking
or
loading
areas,
so
it
is
sort
of
a
balance
point
to
make
sure
that
everyone
can
access
it.
D
D
D
So,
with
the
reconstruction
project,
you
know
we
have
the
opportunity
to
really
make
bus
stops
that
fit
the
buses
that
are
going
to
be
on
the
corridor,
fit
your
needs
in
terms
of
how
close
they
are
to
where
you
live,
and
make
sure
that
the
buses
aren't
blocking
traffic
or
side
streets.
On
that,
there's
really
a
good
place
for
drivers
to
be
able
to
pull
all
the
way
to
the
curb
pulling
to
the
curb
is
also
super
important
for
accessibility.
D
But
we
know
that
there
are
important
locations
populations
that
we
need
to
serve
with
the
buses,
and
we've
done
our
best
to
kind
of
balance
that
along
the
corridor.
So
the
next
slide
will
show
you
what
we're
thinking
in
terms
of
distance
between
bus
stops
and
these
locations
do
keep
in
mind.
All
of
the
things
that
I
just
talked
about
about
avoiding
driveways
and
having
enough
space
for
the
bus
to
be
able
to
fully
pull
to
the
curb,
while
also
still
serving
our
populations
of
youth,
elders
and
folks
with
disabilities.
D
So,
instead
of
it
being
anywhere
between,
on
average
like
a
minute
and
a
half
to
four
minutes,
we're
looking
at
sort
of
two
and
a
half
to
five
minutes
if
you're
walking
along
cummins
highway.
But
if
you're
coming
from
the
side
streets
for
the
most
part,
your
trip
isn't
going
to
be
any
longer
than
it
is
today.
D
If
it
is
it's
only
by
a
little
bit,
so
we
think
that
we've
kind
of
hit
the
right
point
of
access
for
all
of
you,
while
still
making
sure
that
we
can
meet
the
goals
that
we
need
for
accessible
bus
stops.
That
are
easy
to
use,
and
that
was
a
lot
of
information.
So
again,
really
please
use
that
interactive
map
explore
it.
You
can
send
us
questions
anytime.
This
is
not
the
end
of
the
conversation
and
we'll
definitely
open
it
up
for
questions
after
the
presentation.
D
D
So
every
bus
stop
that
we're
going
to
build,
won't
just
be
better
for
bus
service,
but
it'll
also
be
better
for
people
who
are
waiting
for
the
bus.
So
we
will
have
accessible
crosswalks
for
every
bus,
stop
both
along
cummins
highway
and
near
to
where
the
bus
stop
is
located
and
we're
planning
for
space
to
have
amenities
like
benches
or
shelters
which
I'll
talk
about
too.
D
So
the
first
thing
to
know,
just
in
case
you
haven't
been
on
the
bus
in
a
while-
is
that
every
single
bus
in
the
mbta
fleet
is
accessible.
So
if
you
have
a
mobility
device
or
you
use
a
wheelchair
you're
able
to
get
on
and
off
every
single
bus
that
the
mbta
has-
and
there
are
a
number
of
other
accessibility
features
that
are
listed
here-
that
you
can
explore
the
next
time
you're
on
the
bus.
D
Outside
of
the
bus,
that's
kind
of
where
we
come
in
as
the
the
city,
transportation,
department
and
public
works
department,
so
there
are
a
few
things
that
we
we
know
we
have
to
have
for
every
bus
stop.
So
the
first
thing
is
that
there
is
a
difference
between
the
sidewalk
and
any
travel
lane,
whether
it's
a
bike
lane
or
a
bus
lane
or
just
a
general
travel
lane,
and
for
the
most
part.
D
D
One
of
the
things
that
we've
been
asked
about
a
lot
for
the
corridor
is
think
about
bus
shelters.
So
obviously
bus
shelters
are
great
for
folks
who
are
waiting
for
the
bus
because
you
can
take
a
seat.
You
can
sort
of
be
protected
from
the
elements,
whether
it's
raining
or
it's
really
hot
or
it's
windy,
so
we're
taking
care
to
make
sure
that
every
bus
stop.
We
design
has
room
for
a
bus
shelter,
but
I'm
just
reiterating
that
we
are
still
working
on
the
details
here.
D
The
other
thing
that
we
have
been
asked
about
is
providing
real-time
information
at
the
bus
stop.
So
when
you're
waiting,
you
can
see
how
long
it's
going
to
take
for
the
bus
to
arrive.
The
mbta
has
actually
been
working
on
this
specific
challenge
for
several
years
now
and
are
currently
rolling
out
this
type
of
sign
at
many
bus
stops
in
the
region
and
at
almost
all
of
the
green
line
stations
that
are
running
along
the
surface
of
the
road.
So
this
example
here
is
on
warren
street
in
roxbury
at
quincy
street.
D
D
Okay,
so
how
does
all
of
this
stuff
fit
together
on
the
road?
That's
a
great
question
and
one
that
we
have
been
working
really
hard
on
for
the
last
couple
of
months.
So
I
just
want
to
start
by
saying
the
graphics
that
are
on
the
screen
are
are
supposed
to
just
represent
what
it
could
be.
It's
not
the
final
design,
and
it
doesn't
include
some
things
that
we
know
we
have
to
spend
more
time
on
like
street
trees
and
landscaping
and
other
aspects
of
the
design.
D
D
So
you
can
see
that
the
crosswalk
is
shorter
than
it
is
today,
because
you
only
are
crossing
two
lanes
of
traffic
right
here,
because
it's
in
the
middle
of
the
block-
and
it
will
have
that
traffic
signal,
but
it
will
also
be
fully
accessible.
So
it's
very
easy
to
roll
up
and
down
whether
you
are
pushing
a
stroller
or
in
a
wheelchair,
or
pulling
a
cart
of
groceries
along
the
side
streets
for
cummins
highway.
D
There's
still
a
lot
of
details
to
work
out,
but
we
have
the
space
to
be
able
to
make
these
really
nice
bus
stops
for
you
next
slide
and
so
how
this
bus
stop
works
with
the
bike,
lane
is
kind
of
new
to
the
boston
area.
We
have
a
few
of
these
that
have
already
been
constructed
and
more
that
are
on
the
way.
D
So
if
you
are
coming
on
the
corridor
you're
just
in
the
sidewalk
like
normal
there's,
nothing
different
for
you,
but
you
can
use
crosswalks
to
cross
the
street
across
cummins
highway
or
across
the
bike
lane
to
the
area
that
you
might
be
waiting
for
the
bus
and,
as
I
mentioned,
we're
providing
quite
a
lot
of
space
right
at
the
bus.
Stop
so
there's
room
for
folks
to
wait,
and
if
we
have
a
shelter
they
can
there's
room
for
that.
There's
also
room.
D
If
you
you
know,
are
with
your
kids
and
there's
a
bunch
of
people.
There's
just
gonna
be
a
lot
of
space
there.
That's
just
for
people
waiting
for
the
bus,
you
don't
have
to
sort
of
leave
in
and
out.
If
you
are
walking
and
then
people
on
bikes
will
just
continue
in
the
bike
lane
unless
there's
someone
who's
crossing
the
bike
lane
and
that's
on
the
next
slide.
D
So
here
this
is:
what
happens
when
someone
is
crossing
to
or
from
the
bus
stop
people
on
bikes
will
need
to
stop
for
those
people
who
are
crossing
the
bike
lane.
This
is
common
practice
and
something
that
you
know
we
need
to
build
a
culture
around,
but
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
these
in
the
city.
Yet
so
it's
something
that's
going
to
take
a
little
bit
of
time,
but
we
usually
will
put
out
some
reminder
signs.
D
You
might
have
seen
some
of
them
elsewhere
in
the
city,
but
this
is
basically
how
it
works.
Is
you
just
kind
of
look
to
your
left
or
right
when
you're
coming
to
or
from
the
bus
stop
and
if
there's
a
cyclist,
that
person
should
be
waiting
for
you
and
that's
kind
of
the
basics.
So
obviously
these
are
all
based
on
a
you
know,
not
quite
final
design.
D
D
So
fatima
asks
if
we
are
going
to
do
a
3d
presentation
at
some
point,
that's
a
great
idea
and
something
that
we
can
work
on
once
we
have
more
of
those
design
details
together,
so
that
that,
just
like
the
3d
presentation
matches
sort
of
what
we're
actually
going
to
be
designing
for
again,
as
I
said,
these
graphics
are
based
on.
You
know,
early
design
and
doesn't
include
all
of
the
elements
that
we're
gonna
have
herman
points
out
that
some
people
on
bikes
don't
use
the
bike
lanes.
D
D
D
All
right
and
then
are
there
parking
spaces.
Yes,
there
are
a
lot
of
parking
spaces
along
the
corridor
and
we're
actually
going
to
gain
a
few
more
with
this
project
where
there
used
to
be
a
bus
stop
and
we
could
use
those
for
parking
or
we
can
use
for
other
things
jeff.
I
don't
know
if
you
want
to
take
this
question
about
how
many,
how
much
federal
money
or
taxpayer
money
the
city
and
state
is
getting
for
this
project.
B
Yes,
I'll
jump
in
in
regards
to
any
federal
money
for
this
project.
We
we
have
not
applied
for
any
funding
from
the
from
the
state
or
from
the
federal
government.
I
mean
this
is
all
pretty
much
city
capital
that
may
change
in
the
future,
but
as
of
right
now
we're
this
city
is
actually
paying
for
this.
This
is
an
investment
that's
coming
from
the
city
of
boston
and
as
I've
kind
of
mentioned,
in
some
of
our
other
meetings
I
mean
the
mattapan
community.
B
It
definitely
has
been
divested
in
the
past,
so
I
mean
this
project
is:
is
us
trying
to
provide
some
equitable
improvements?
Some
well
needed
improvements
to
to
the
city
of
to
the
neighborhood
of
matapan,
and
this
this
budget
has
has
definitely
blown
blown
up,
a
balloon
for
what
we
initially
started
for
this
project,
a
lot
of
bells
and
whistles
that
we're
trying
to
include
for
the
matter
mattapan
community-
and
we
want
to
hear
from
you
we're
trying
to
put
out
the
best
project.
B
We
can
we're
trying
to
help
improve
the
lives
of
this
neighborhood
and
in
regards
to
transportation
and
making
this
roadway
safer
for
not
just
for
cars,
but
pedestrians
and
cyclists.
So
yeah.
We
want
to
hear
what
you
have
to
say
but
yeah
as
of
right
now
all
city
funds
and-
and
it
doesn't
look
like
it's
going
to
be
changing.
Oh,
but
we'll
see,
we'll
see.
D
C
Those
personnel
are
not
police
officers,
they're
civilians
and
so
as
long
as
the
person
is
parked
and
not
moving
they're
able
to
issue
tickets
to
people,
and
even
if
someone
has
stopped
there,
it's
up
to
their
judgment,
but
they
could
ask
someone
to
you
know:
move
along.
We
also
partner
with
the
transit
police
on
making
sure
that
people
don't
park
and
bus
stops.
So
we
have
a
number
of
different
personnel
that
kind
of
help
us
with
this
issue.
D
D
Sometimes
it's
not
quite
clear
where
the
bus
stop
is
because
it's
not
clearly
painted
or
the
signs
are
kind
of
old.
So
we
want
to
make
sure,
first
and
foremost
that
that
makes
sense.
Another
reason
a
lot
of
people
park
in
bus
stops
is
because
we
didn't
do
as
good
of
a
job
in
managing
access
to
the
curb,
so
sometimes
you'll,
see
in
business
districts,
especially
where
we
don't
have
meters
that
folks
are
sort
of
pulling
into
the
bus.
D
You
know
we
can't
promise
that
people
are
not
going
to
do
the
wrong
thing,
that
is
kind
of
part
of
living
in
a
city
with
a
lot
of
other
people,
but
we
can
do
our
best
through
design
to
try
to
inform
how
to
use
the
corridor
in
the
best
way,
all
right.
So
we
have
another
question
that
I'm
going
to
throw
to
you
jeff,
which
is
how
we're
thinking
about
traffic
and
buses
and
buses
sort
of
blocking
traffic,
especially
not
just
mbta
buses,
but
also
school
buses.
B
B
I
mean
whether
it's
be
cars
being
able
to
pull
over
so
that
emergency
vehicle
can
get
through
with
trash
trucks
to
be
able
to
pull
over
or
even
not
pull
over
cars
being
able
to
pass.
And
those
are
all
things
that
we're
looking
at
in
regards
to
at
each
intersection.
We're
looking
at
providing
left
turn
lanes
to
provide
cars
to
kind
of
go
around
any
vehicles,
turning
left
onto
the
side
street.
B
So
those
are
all
the
things
that
we're
looking
at
as
part
of
this
as
part
of
this
project,
I
mean
we
understand
that
reducing
the
lanes
from
from
four
to
two
would
would
would
look,
it
would
seem
like
it
would
cause
congestion
along
the
corridor,
but
I
mean,
if
it's
done,
if
it's
done
correctly,
we
can
help
traffic
to
flow
efficiently.
We
can
keep
people
safe
in
terms
of
walking
down
the
street
walking
across
the
street.
B
We
can
keep
cyclists
safe,
which
is
something
that
we
want
to
do
along
this
corridor
as
well,
because
this
is
definitely
a
great
connection
for
cyclists,
but
we've
seen
with
people
being
able
to
to
travel
from.
You
know
whether
it
be
the
franklin
from
franklin
park
to
the
the
ponds
river
river
trail.
I
mean
it's,
it's
it's.
What
we've
looked
at
and
tried
to
assess
during
the
pilot
to
help
show
that
to
make
sure
that
traffic
traffic
flows
efficiently,
so
that's
something
that
we
are
looking
at.
B
D
D
D
So
we're
really
trying
to
think
about
not
just
what
we
need
to
accommodate
for
today,
but
what's
coming
in
the
future,
and
so
some
of
our
other
meetings.
We've
talked
about
heat
resiliency
and,
what's
going
to
happen
in
this
area
as
a
result
of
climate
change,
we've
talked
about
air
quality,
about
public
health
and
community
health,
and
those
are
all
sort
of
long-term
goals
that
every
project
that
the
city
does
has
to
help
influence
for
the
better.
So
that's
why
we're
thinking
you
know
what
is
this
going
to
be
for
the
next
70
years?
D
D
E
E
B
D
B
Yes
great
question:
I
actually
sat
down
with
our
arts
commission,
maybe
a
week
or
two
ago,
and
I
did
reach
out
to
them
and
ask
them:
would
they
be
interested
or
you
mean?
Would
there
be
opportunities
to
provide
some
type
of
art
on
comments
highway?
I
don't
know
what
it
will
be.
I
don't
know
where
it
will
be,
but
this
is
something
that
they
definitely
said
that
they
were
interested
in
and
I
imagine
they
have
their
process
well.
B
They'll
reach
out
and
connect
with
the
neighborhood
and
the
community
to
figure
out
who
would
be
able
who
would
be
the
artist
as
well
as
where
they
might
look
selecting
locations
and
where
they
can
be.
As
part
of
this
project,
we
are
looking
at
proposing
the
the
roundabout
at
the
greenfield
road
way.
Boston
alabama
comes
highway
intersection,
so
I
mean
that's
the
potential
for
some
type
of
art
there
as
well.
D
You
know
we
are
in
coordination
with
other
projects
like
blue
hill
ave
and
the
arts
commission,
to
make
sure
that
you
know
our
approach
to
arts
in
street
spaces
in
matapan.
You
know,
makes
sense
for
the
community
and
whether
that
is
continuing
with
whatever
we're
thinking
about
for
blue
hill
ave
up
cummins
highway
or
it's
something
a
little
bit
different.
I
think
we
have
a
lot
of
room
and
space
to
think
about
that.
D
B
B
Our
intent
is
to
provide
the
most
space
to
provide
safety
for
each
of
our
each
mode
of
transportation,
with
cummins
highway,
reducing
the
number
of
travel
lanes
from
42.
It
frees
up
a
lot
of
space,
which
is
why
we,
which
is
why
we've
looked
at
proposing-
I
mean
the
bicycle
lanes
along
this
corridor.
We're
also
able
to
allocate
some
of
that
space
to
pedestrians
as
well,
which
is
why
we're
looking
at
increasing
the
sidewalks,
I
believe,
from
nine
to
twelve
feet.
B
So
I
mean
it's
it's
more
of
the
existing
conditions
of
the
roadway
I
mean.
What's
what
space
is
available
and
then
allocating?
Whatever
space
is
needed
through
each
through
each
motor
transportation,
whether
it
be
the
travel
travel
lanes,
bicycle
lanes
as
well
as
pedestrians?
So
it's
about
just
balancing
the
home,
those
dimensions.
D
There
are
also
a
couple
of
questions
here
about
crosswalk,
murals
and
3d
crosswalks,
so
we
don't
do
the
you
know:
3d
crosswalk
thing
in
boston
and
most
communities,
don't
because
it
could
actually
cause
more
crashes
if
people
are
not
expecting
it
and
think
there
are
actually
blocks
in
the
roadway.
The
other
side
of
it
is
that
if
you've
seen
it
a
few
times
like
you
already
know
it's
there,
and
you
know
it's
not
real,
so
it
doesn't
have
a
long-term
impact.
D
This
is
why
we're
designing
race,
crosswalks
and
other
safe
crossing
opportunities
that
are
sort
of
permanently
built
so
that
we're
not
relying
on
sort
of
tricking
people
as
far
as
murals
for
the
crosswalks
and
that's
definitely
something
we
can
talk
about.
It
does
have
a
maintenance
implication
to
it,
and
there
are
quite
a
few
aspects
on
this
project
where
we're
looking
at
other
ways
to
understand
the
maintenance
needs
with
the
community.
So,
as
I
mentioned
we're
looking
at
planting
street
trees,
we've
talked
about
green
infrastructure.
We're
going
to
have
these
bus
shelters
and
e-ink
signs.
D
F
G
G
Lane
is
a
great
idea,
however,
it
as
with
all
change
it
does
take
some
time,
and
you
know
I
can
only
see
that
you
know
the
reason
for
in
an
increase
in
accidents-
and
you
know,
people
getting
injured
is
because
people
want
to
get
through
literally
speed
through
cummins
highway
to
get
to
where
they
want
to
go
right.
It's
it's!
G
It's
a
street
that
leads
to
the
highway
to
other
parts
of
boston
and
I'm
just
seriously
thinking
about
how
how
we
can
educate
the
community
and
I'm
wondering
what
what
groups
you're
working
with
educate
the
community.
I
think
people
living
all
along
come
inside.
We
understand
that
you
know
you
need
to
be
slower.
You
need
to
watch
out
for
people,
but
just
in
general,
like
do
you
have
plans
to
have
some
sort
of.
G
F
D
We
have
handouts
for
cyclists,
about
the
rules
and
regulations
that
they
need
to
comply
by.
We
have
in
the
past,
sent
mailers
within
the
excise
tax,
so
everyone
who
has
a
car
gets
information
about
safe
driving,
and
these
are
things
that
we
can
continue
to
do.
We
also
post
educational
signs,
we
share
flyers
and
we
have
classes.
D
So
it
is
a
long-term
effort
to
sort
of
change
how
people
interact
with
streets,
but
we
know
that
through
design
we
have
a
really
strong
tool
and
one
that
is
actually
studied
to
be
one
of
the
most
effective
tools
and
changing
the
way
people
behave
on
the
streets
is
changing
the
way
that
they're
built
so
jeff.
Do
you
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
some
of
the
design
features
that
we're
going
to
use
to
try
to
encourage
people
to
behave
appropriately,
knowing
that
some
people
are
still
going
to
do
what
they
want.
B
Yes,
I
mean,
and
the
thing
is,
is
in
regards
to
evident
behaviors
of
evidence.
Drivers
I
mean
it's
something
that
we
kind
of
have
to
kind
of
deal
with.
I
mean
people
peop.
There
are
people
who
just
don't
care
and
I've
as
part
of
this
project.
We
we
have
worked
with
the
the
bpd
in
order
to
try
to
not
necessarily
enforce
the
pilot
that
we
proposed
on
cummins
highway,
but
to
try
to
curb
urban
behaviors.
B
There
was
a
number
of
there's
a
couple
of
officers
that
I
worked
with
from
b3
as
well
as
e18
just
to
have
them
on
site,
not
to
ticket
anyone,
but
just
to
remind
people
not
to
park
in
the
bike
lanes
and
to
drive
safely
and
based
on
the
conversations
I've
had
with
them.
Because
I
mean
working
with
public
works.
B
We
didn't
want
police
out
there
enforcing
our
pilot,
you
mean
because
to
us
I
mean
that
seems
like
a
trap
where
we're
setting
up
the
road
to
ticket
people
or
whatever
the
case
may
be.
So
we
didn't
want
to
do
that.
But
in
my
conversations
with
the
officers
they
were
saying
that
people
just
didn't
care.
Like
there
were
some
drivers
who
would
see
the
cop
car
and
because
they're
not
out
there
pulling
people
over
like
they
would
still
speed
by
and
pull
off.
B
So
when,
in
terms
of
enforcement
I
mean,
unfortunately,
the
city
of
boston
doesn't
have
traffic
police,
so
they
mean
you
can
as
a
resident.
You
can
definitely
call
the
police
and
tell
them
that
you
mean
there's
people
speeding
on
your
roadway
and
you
want
for
them
to
enforce.
You
mean
this
section
of
the
roadway.
I
mean
they'll
be
out
there
for
a
week
and
then
they're
going
after
that
and
their
behavior
is
kind
of
continued.
B
So
what
we
find
is
that
I
mean
the
best
way
to
try
to
try
to
curb
error.
Behaviors
is
to
to
change
the
the
design
of
the
roadway
to
change
the
geometry,
so
whether
that
be
mean
providing
bump
outs,
narrowing
narrowing
the
travel
lanes
providing
vertical
elements.
What
we
find
is
that,
if
you're
driving
down
a
roadway
and
for
example,
you
mean
a
regular
city
residential
roadway,
I
mean
there's
parking
on
both
sides.
B
When
you're
driving
40
miles
an
hour,
you
mean
down
a
40-foot
road
with
parking
on
both
sides
and
you're
going
to
feel
it.
You
feel
like
you're,
going
to
feel
like
you're
driving
too
fast.
Some
people
just
don't
care,
even
if
I
mean
so
it's
it's
more
of
just
trying
to
provide
geometry
changes
raised
elements.
B
I
mean
what
we
plan
on
doing
that
for
coming
type
on
the
approaches
which
is
they
may
raise
crossouts
on
the
side
on
the
side
streets
so
that
when
people
are
entering
the
company's
highway,
they
have
to
kind
of
slow
down
into
commerce,
highway
and
slow
down
out
of
coming
highway.
But
then
also
you
mean
with
parking
on
on
both
sides.
Street
trees.
I
mean
removal
of
the
median.
B
We
we
find
that
people
do
drive
slower
and
and-
and
I
mean
ultimately
it's
more
of
in
terms
of
traffic
and
people's
behaviors.
I
mean
it's,
it's
ultimately,
a
culture
shift.
People
need
to
change
the
way
they
where
they,
where
they
travel
throughout
the
city.
People
need
to
change.
I
mean
the
city
they're.
B
The
speed
limit
I
mean
throughout
the
city
is
25
miles
per
hour
and
it's
I
what
we're
noticing
that
people
have
been
driving
slower
along
cummins
highway
through
through
the
pilot
I
mean
we
that
that
data
is
available
on
the
website,
so
that
I
mean
reducing
the
number
of
travel
lanes
and
providing
these
these,
the
the
I'm
sorry,
the
flex
post
at
the
intersections
to
kind
of
help,
navigate
well
or
actually
direct
vehicles
with
it
where
they
drive
along
the
quarter.
It
did
help
slow
vehicles
down.
B
So
we
do
know
that
reducing
the
number
of
travel
lines
last
quarter
does
help
slow
vehicles
down.
But
I
mean
it's
it's
it's
something
that
that's
going
to
be
an
issue
until
people
change
their
behaviors,
unfortunately,
but
we
we
could
try
our
best
in
terms
of
the
engineering
aspect
of
it
to
help
to
help
make
it
safer.
D
D
I
just
want
to
flag
that
we
are
planning
on
having
a
meeting
about
the
intersections,
so
traffic
signals
roundabouts,
I'm
looking
to
have
that
meeting,
probably
in
march,
so
we'll
be
able
to
go
into
that
in
a
lot
of
detail,
and
I'm
excited
that
the
question
already
came
up,
because
this
is
an
interesting
topic
to
go
into.
So
we'll
definitely
do
that.
D
B
Monitoring,
yes,
making
changes.
That's
still
up
for
discussion,
I
mean
the
intent
is
to
design
the
roadway
and
and
address
the
number
of
issues
that
we've
seen
through
the
pilot.
I
mean
that
was
the
main
purpose
of
the
pilots
to
see
where
there
are
issues
and
make
sure
that
those
issues
have
resolved
prior
to
us
actually
putting
a
shovel
in
the
ground
in
terms
of
vomiting.
B
B
This
is
something
that
we
are
learning
and
trying
to
move
forward,
because,
ultimately
you
mean
you
want
to
learn
from
the
past
mistakes
and
kind
of
move
forward,
move
forward
better
to
provide
safety
throughout
these
with
these
projects,
I
mean
so
I
mean
yes,
but
we
are
gonna,
be
monitoring
looking
at
it
in
terms
of
changes,
we
I
mean
we're.
We
make
changes
with
with
products
all
the
time
in
terms
of
giving
traffic
signals.
B
B
D
C
C
But
we
know
that's
not
enough,
so
there
are
a
couple
of
things:
rob
gupta
who's.
Also
on
this
call,
we
often
work
with
him
and
his
colleagues
at
mbta
to
have
targeted
enforcement
right
when
a
project
is
launched
so,
for
instance,
with
our
bus
lane
projects.
But
it's
also
something
that
we
would
look
into
here.
C
More
broadly,
though,
in
terms
of
long-term
changes,
we
are
at
the
city
working
on
an
enforcement
bus
lane
and
bus
stop
enforcement
strategy
for
the
city,
and
so
we
will
likely
need
support
from
the
state
legislature
for
a
lot
of
that.
But
it's
something
that
we're
thinking
about.
We
know
we're
not
doing
as
well
as
we
need
to
today
and
I'm
happy
to
put
my
email
in
the
chat.
C
E
Legislature,
right
now,
we
are
prohibited
from
state
law
of
recording,
putting
cameras
on
buses
and
recording
cars
that
are
parked
in
a
bus
stop,
but
the
mbta
in
massdot
is
actually
working,
and
this
would
be.
I
think,
what
christy
is
mentioning
working
with
the
state
legislature
to
see
if
we
could
actually
change
the
law
to
put
cameras
on
buses
to
allow
buses
to
film
cars
that
are
parked
in
bus
lanes
or
bus
stops
such
that
we
can
actually
find
those
stock
vehicles.
I
So
I
think
kirsten
already
answered
that,
but
I
just
kind
of
want
to
reiterate
that
I
think
it's
a
city
issue,
but
I
know
it's
definitely
a
problem
in
roxbury,
dorchester
and
matapan
and
I'm
sure
other
other
spots
and
other
neighborhoods
within
the
city.
So
that's
the
only
thing
I
wanted
to
say.
Thank
you.
J
Hi,
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
the
presentation,
great
job,
quick
question.
So
about
two
weeks
ago
there
was
a
horrific
accident,
not
jackson,
sorry
crashes,
a
series
of
crashes
that
happened
at
morton
and
blue
hill
when
the
lights
went
out
on
saturday,
right,
8
p.m
and
last
were
out
continuously
until
noon.
The
next
following
day
they
were
so
bad
cars,
went
into
buildings
and
took
out
traffic
signals.
J
There
was
absolutely
no
light.
My
question
is
lights.
Go
out.
Is
there
any
going
to
be
any
knowing
this?
Is
there
going
to
be
or
what
is
the
planned
effort
to
immediately
react
to
those
kind
of
things,
especially
on
roads
like
when
you
come
to
the
lights
of
harvard
street
and
cummins
on
a
saturday
evening
or
american
legion
and
cummins
for
river
street
in
cummins?
J
J
K
J
K
Reactive
yeah
and
understood
so
I
think
so,
some
of
the
locations
that
you
mentioned,
I
think,
are
under
or
I'm
almost
positive,
are
under
state
jurisdiction.
A
lot
of
morton
street
is
still
somehow
considered
a
state
road
for
dcr,
and
so
there's
there
are
some
interesting
overlaps
on
who
would
be
responding
and
who
is
the
first
person
to
get
the
phone
call
in
the
case
where
the
whole
power
goes
out
like
that
in
an
area
there
are
a
lot
of
phone
calls
that
start
to
get
that
start
to
ring.
K
Of
course,
nothing
happens
fast
enough
because,
as
soon
as
lights
go
out
someone
crashes
into
something
and
as
you
said,
you
know
you,
you
witnessed
a
whole
lot
of
them.
The
battery
backups
yeah,
so
the
city
intersections,
which
are
a
handful
of
them
on
cummins
high,
comes
highway
out
here,
are
city
locations
because
it's
a
city
street
properly.
There
are
backups
in
the
traffic
signals.
So
that's
why
sometimes
you'll
see
two
of
those
big
steel
boxes
side
by
side?
Some
of
those
will
have
those
backup
batteries.
K
So
they're
just
on
a
different,
it's
just
a
different
program
and
we
are
trying
to
kind
of
coordinate
that
a
little
bit
better
because
as
a
constituent,
you
know
as
a
community.
There
is
no
difference
between
blue
hill
and
morton,
and
you
know
blue
hill
in
american
legion,
or
something
like
that.
It
doesn't
feel
any
different
because
it
doesn't
look
any
different.
So
we
are
trying
to
work
with
them
a
little
bit
better,
but
the
city
streets
and
the
city
signals
on
cummins
highway.
D
D
L
I
thought
that
I
had
clicked
on
the
link
that
would
take
me
to
it
earlier,
because,
while
everyone's
speaking
about
the
renovations,
I'm
the
type
of
person
that
I
need
to
see
it
like,
I
can
try
to
picture
it
in
my
head,
but
it
works
better
for
me.
If
I
see
it
is
there
a
website
or
something
that
I
can
go
to
and
view
the
final
project.
D
So
we
don't
actually
have
a
final
design,
yet
we
do
have
some
concept
drawings.
They
are
on
the
website,
but
they're,
probably
hidden
like
there's
just
a
lot
of
stuff
on
the
website,
but
we
can
make
sure
to
send
them
or
send
them
to
you
via
email
or
maybe,
if
jen
is
extremely
amazing,
she'll
find
them
and
send
a
link
directly
to
them
in
the
chat
before
we
wrap
up
today.
D
H
Helena
yes
just
quickly.
I
mentioned
this
in
a
previous
meeting
and
I
just
want
to
see
if
there's
any
updates-
and
I
know
there's
been
quite
a
few
meetings
on
about
cummins
highway
and
various
topics,
and
there
was
another
meeting
in
regards
to
these
bus
stops
and
one
of
the
things
that
I
had
asked
is
there's.
Is
there
conversations
happening
at
the
state
level
about
reliable
transportation
because
it's
great
to
make
all
of
these
great
changes?
H
And
I
say
this
more
specifically
as
in
two
weeks
ago,
I
picked
up
a
parent
and
her
daughter
that
were
freezing
and
they
looked
like
they
were
going
to
the
match
school
and
I
turned
around
and
picked
them
up
and
they
said
the
bus
never
came
and
there
was
a
little
girl
and
her
daughter
heading
to
the
match
school.
So
I
say
that
with
emphasis
is
you
know
this
may
all
look
good
and
we've
got
benches
and
lighting
and
new
stops
and
raid
sidewalks
and
ada
compliance
and
in
a
partridge
in
a
pear
tree.
H
D
E
You
know
we're
having
a
severe
driver
shortage
right
now
and
that's
certainly
contributing
to
a
lot
of
what
we
call
drop
trips
and
these
instances
of
people.
You
know
just
not
seeing
buses
come
out
and
hopefully,
as
the
pandemic
starts
to
wane
and
people's
health
improves,
and
we
get
more
operators
that
can
consistently
you
know,
take
their
their
trips
and
their
shifts
and
everything
we
will
be
able
to
operate
the
schedule
that
we
say
that
we
can-
and
you
know
we're-
certainly
looking
to
hire
more
operators
right
now.
E
E
E
D
C
Yeah,
I
just
basically
everything
rob
said
you
know
we're
always
interested
in
hearing
about
your
perceptions
about
service
and
everything
as
well.
So
I
shared
my
personal
email
I'll
also
share
the
btd
transit
program,
email
and
we
check
that
very
regularly,
but
we
at
the
city
are
very
invested
in
and
advocating
for
increased
money
for
service
and
operation
so
that
we
can
have
a
better
bus
system
for
everybody
who
uses
it.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
sharing
your
thoughts.
D
A
All
right,
sorry
about
that.
So
really
briefly,
we're
just
gonna,
just
gonna
recap
on
what's
next
for
the
project,
so,
overall,
the
goal
for
the
reconstruction
is
to
transform
cummins
highway
into
a
tree-lined
neighborhood
street
that
is
safer
for
families,
to
walk,
wait
for
the
bus,
ride,
bikes
or
travel
by
vehicle.
A
A
In
june
2021
we
hosted
a
special
edition
tea
talk
with
charles
t
brown
to
discuss
ways.
Mobility
of
black
americans
is
limited
in
the
us,
through
police
policies
and
politics,
and
then
my
colleague
jen
is
just
going
to
post
the
links
to
all
of
the
previous
presentations
which
we
have
video
recordings
of
and
then
in
july
2021
we
held
a
meeting
with
the
environment
department.
We
talked
about
heat
resilience
and
how
the
new
redesign
can
consider
ways
to
mitigate
the
impacts
of
heat
and
climate
change.
A
A
In
october
we
talked
about
health,
how
street
design
health
and
well-being
are
connected
with
mary
bovenzie
from
the
boston,
public
health
commission
and
then
we're
going
to
continue
these
conversations
every
month
over
the
next
year.
So
our
next
one
is
on
february
february
23rd
and
we're
going
to
focus
again
on
street
trees.
A
A
A
A
A
A
A
And
then,
if
you
would
like
to
stay
in
touch
with
us,
our
contacts
for
transit
planning
and
bus
stops
is
christy
hostetter
and
she
shared
your
information
with
you
all,
and
so,
if
you
have
more
questions,
please
reach
out
to
her
and
as
always,
you
can
reach
out
to
us
about
anything
else
related
to
the
cummins
highway
redesign
all
right.
So
I
think
that's
what
we
have
for
now.
A
D
F
M
M
D
Sure
so
the
the
median
can
be
helpful
in
some
situations
to
help
address
the
potential
crap
like
head-on
crashes,
but
for
cummins
highway.
You
know
we're
working
really
hard
to
make
sure
that
it
will
be
safe,
even
and
a
median
isn't
necessary
in
most
situations,
but
jeff
is
leaning
the
design.
So
I
really
should
be
I'm
looking
to
him
to
answer
this
question.
B
B
With
the
two-lane
roadway
I
mean
because
of
the
geometry
of
the
roadway,
because
you
you
don't
have
a
medium
you're
you're
gonna
have
to
drive
slower
it's
it's
just.
As
I
mentioned,
I
mean
if
you're
driving
down
a
roadway,
a
narrow
roadway
with
two
cars
on
the
side,
and
it's
gonna
feel
like
you're
driving
faster
than
you
actually
are
roadways
that
two-lane
roadways
don't
generally
need.
B
Immediate
medians
are
usually
provided
for
roadways
that
have
three
or
four
more
travel
lanes,
especially
if
they
go
on
in
obvious
directions
with
cummins
highway,
reducing
it
from
four
to
two
there's
a
number
of
streets
throughout
the
city
of
boston.
Where
we
see
I
mean
cars
driving
river
street,
for
example,
I
mean
the
river
street
is
a
two-lane
roadway
cars
driving
in
each
direction
without
a
meeting.
This
is
this
is
something
that
we
see
throughout
the
city
of
boston.
B
I,
as
I
mentioned,
I
understand
your
concern,
but
we're
also
looking
at
other
ways
of
not
only
not
just
removing
the
media
and
reducing
the
more
travel
length.
We're
also
looking
at
other
ways
to
to
make
the
roadway
safer
to
to
make
people
drive
a
lot
slower
on
the
corridor.
So
I
mean
it's
something
that
we're
looking
at
understanding
concern
and
that's
something
that
we
are
definitely
analyzing
and
looking
at.
As
part
of
this
design,.
M
B
M
As
people
get
used
to
something
and
the
difference
between
river
street
and
american
legion
is
river
street's,
a
windy
road,
you
know
there's
curves
in
there
america
cummings
highway
from
essentially
the
bridge,
the
train
bridge.
I
don't
know
the
name
of
the
street
where
it
starts
all
the
way
up
to
wood
ave,
essentially
a
straight
non-winding
road
yeah.
So
look.
I
just
hope
it
works
out
and.
D
M
M
B
M
Right
and
you
know
at
one
time
it
was
wide
and
if
you,
if
you
had
a
question,
you
can
go
off
towards
this
curve,
but
now
the
flexi
sticks
are
there.
You
basically
got
to
say:
okay,
I
hope
that
road
is
is
plowed
and
sanded
or
that
person
really
can
handle
that
curve.
That's
that
the
speed
they're
driving,
but
I'm
not
gonna,
I'm
not
gonna,
go
on.
Obviously
you
won't
want
it
to
be
as
safe
as
possible.
Again,
the
question
is:
what
would
trigger
a
rethink?
F
N
N
N
Have
you
I
mean
have
you
put
like?
I
gotta
go
into
the
chat
cause
I'm
trying
to
fit.
I'm
just
thinking,
I'm
just
thinking
how
you
may
have
considered.
If
you
have
considered
the
the
the
length
or
it
no,
I
posted
it
in
the
chat.
If
you
just
give
me
one
second,
I'm
gonna
scr,
I'm
gonna
scroll
back
up
and
and
see
what
it
was
hang
on.
N
It
was
I'm
sorry
I
don't
want
to.
I
don't
want
to
hold
it
hold
anyone
up,
because
I
know
other
people
want
to
speak
but
yeah
like
I
was
thinking
about
how
you
determine
the
size
of
the,
how
you
determine
the
size
of
the
sidewalks
relative
to
walking
and
assistive
devices
like.
How
does
that
I
mean?
How
does
that
deter?
I'm
just
thinking.
F
B
B
C
B
Want
to
have
a
at
the
minimum
of
five
foot
clearance
for
you,
pedestrians,
so
whether
it
be
wheelchairs
people
walking
with
strollers
our
sidewalks.
We
want
them
to
be
a
minimum
of
eight
feet.
I
mean
that's,
that's
our
standard
that
we
try
to
maintain
anything
wider
is,
is
a
plus.
So
that's
that's!
Ultimately
what
it
is
it's
like
we,
we
have
minimals
that
we
have
to
adhere
to,
but
the
city,
our
standards,
are
definitely
higher
than
that.
B
So
I
mean
when
it
comes
to
allocating
space,
the
more
that
we
can
provide
for
whether
it's
pedestrians
for
cyclists
doesn't
mean
the
better
cars
I
mean
we
do.
We
know
what
they
need.
I
mean
they
need
10
feet
wide
lanes.
We
try
to
go
anything
lower
than
that
anything
wider
makes
it
a
lot
more
comfortable
for
vehicles
to
drive
even
faster.
B
We
want
to
hopefully
provide
clearance
space
for
for
anyone
else.
We
want
people
to
be
able
to
walk
they
meet
in
tandem
or
shoulder
to
shoulder.
I
mean
that's,
that's
what
we
want,
what
we
prefer
to
make
it
more
comfortable
for
people
walking
curb
size,
the
curb
we
generally
want
the
curve
to
be
a
minimum
of
six
inches
high.
We
want
to
provide
a
kerbal
six
inches
and
that's
mainly
for
safety.
I
mean
to
provide
pedestrians
to
separation
from
the
roadway
and
it's
more
so
like.
B
If
cars
are
a
driver,
is
driving
errantly
and
it
hits
the
curb,
and
I
mean
the
the
worst
thing
that
can
happen.
Is
a
car
jumps
the
curb
and
hits
them
right
in
the
pedestrian.
That's
walking
on
the
sidewalk.
We
find
that
six
inches
is
the
standard
to
kind
of
keep
vehicles
off
the
sidewalk,
and
we
don't
want
them
to
be
too
high,
because
then
you
mean,
if
parked
cars
park
against
a
curb,
reveal
that's
nine
inches,
for
example,
which
we
we
do
allow
at
catch
basins.
B
Then
cars
passengers
aren't
able
to
get
out
of
their
cars.
So
we
we
try
to
maintain
the
standard
six
inch
reveal
for
the
curb
to
provide.
I
mean
safety
for
for
pedestrians
on
the
sidewalk,
so
those
are
the
main
reasons
that
we
look
at
those
those
whiffs.
But,
as
I
mentioned,
you
will
go
around.
You
can
walk
around
boston
and
there's
15
foot,
20
foot,
you
mean
sidewalks,
but
those
are
usually
locations.
Where
you
mean
there's
a
lot
of
pedestrians.
B
The
volume
of
pedestrians
is
like
boston
street
or
something
like
that
beacon
tree
or
something
like
that
commonwealth.
I
mean
where
you're
gonna
see
a
lot
of
pedestrians.
That's
why
you
mean
you
see
those
kind
of
widths,
of
course,
those
streets,
a
lot
wider
as
well,
but
those
are
the
main
reasons.
N
Okay,
all
right.
Okay,
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
that.
I
have
one.
I
have
one
more
guys
yeah,
so
I
was
looking.
I
was
looking
at
this
I'm
looking
at
the
earlier
slides,
where
there's
the
highest
concentration
of
youth,
the
highest
concentration
of
people
with
disabilities
and
the
highest
concentration
of
of
the
elder
of
elderly
citizens.
N
I
def
I
mean
I
was
just
my
rec,
I
mean
I
I
saw.
I
saw
the
proposal
as
well.
Yeah,
definitely
I
mean
I
would
definitely
suggest
you
know
having
the
bulk.
I
know.
I
know
you
kind
of
want
all
the
stops
to
be
fairly
equidistant.
I
mean
you
mentioned
you
mentioned.
There
was
a
length,
I
know
you
so
I
know
you
want
them
all
to
be
equidistant,
but
I
think
the
bulk
of
the
stop
should
should
be.
D
Point
actually
hannah:
can
you
go
to
the
spacing
slide,
so
this
keep
going
there?
We
go
yeah,
so
they're
not
actually
equidistant,
they
are
still
kind
of
variable
and
for
the
most
part
we
are
keeping
them
very
close
to
where
they
currently
are.
Today,
you
know
we
did
look
at
a
different
scheme
for
consolidation
and
that
felt
like
too
far
too
many
bus
stops
were
moved
too
difficult
for
everyone
to
get
where
they're
going.
D
So
for
the
most
part,
these
are
slight
tweaks
to
where
the
bus
stops
are
located
today
to
make
sure
that
we
can
have
the
space
we
need
for
a
fully
accessible
bus,
stop
that
the
buses
are
not
blocking
any
driveways
or
side
streets
and
that
everyone
can
pull
over.
So
it
is
definitely
more
of
an
art
than
like.
Okay,
we're
gonna,
make
sure
that
they're
exactly
you
know,
470
feet
apart
or
whatever,
especially
in
a
city
like
boston,
where
we
don't
have
a
grid.
D
Okay,
yeah
yeah,
I
mean
the
one
of
the
reasons
why
we're
keeping
so
many
of
them
is
because
you
know
when
we
look
at
where
people
live
in
the
neighborhood.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
it's
not
more
difficult
for
them
to
get
to
the
bus
than
it
is
today.
So
that's
one
of
the
reasons
why
we're
keeping
so
many
okay.
N
Okay,
all
right,
fair
enough,
fair
enough
sure
enough!
Okay!
Well,
that
well!
Thank
you
for
that.
I
think
that's
pretty
much
all
I've
all
I've
got,
but
I'm
going
I'm
gonna
search
for
that
link
that
I
can
get
email
updates,
I'm
just
trying
I'm
trying
to
find
out
where
it
is
because
we
have
a
lot
in
the
chat.
A
D
D
You
should
also
be
able
to
save
the
chat
if
you
want
so
there's
an
icon
that
looks
like
a
piece
of
paper,
that's
folded
and
then
a
smiley
face,
and
then
there's
three
dots.
If
you
click
three
dots,
you
should
be
able
to
hit
save
chat
and
you'll.
Be
able
to
have
all
of
these
links
for
as
long
as
you
want
them,
they'll
be
downloaded
as
a
text
file.
D
All
right
so
tiffany
is
asking
if
it's
possible
to
keep
all
the
bus
stops
and
the
answer
to
that
is
no,
so
we
ran
into
some
design
difficulties
near
the
way
bossett
intersection
with
cummins
highway,
because
there's
the
gas
station
there's
some
turning
movements.
We
have
to
account
for
some
extra
driveways
and
other
complicated
pieces
so
that
bus
stop.
We
are
actually
sort
of
like
sliding
it
down
the
street
to
be
closer
well
in
between
like
rugby
and
itasca,
although
it
changes
name
on
the
other
side
of
the
street.
D
So
it's
a
little
bit
further
from
where
it
is
located
today,
but
if
we
moved
it
behind
that
intersection,
it
would
be
basically
in
the
place
where
the
bus
stop
at
kennebec
is
and
if
we
moved
it.
So
that's
kind
of
the
the
balance
there.
The
the
other
bus
stop
that
we
are
proposing
to
remove,
doesn't
have
there
isn't
a
way
to
have
a
safe
crosswalk
over
cummins
highway.
D
D
D
As
a
reminder,
we
have
that
meeting
on
february
23rd
for
cummins
highway
about
street
trees
and
our
colleagues
in
the
parks
department
are
going
to
be
coming
and
talking
about
the
urban
forest
plan,
so
please
be
sure
to
check
that
out,
it'll
be
recorded
and
posted.
If
you
can't
make
it
that
evening
and
we
look
forward
to
seeing
you
soon
bye,
everyone.
