[Unidentified]: Aktyèlman, se yon bon kesyon. Kamera a ap wè ekran an, men mwen sipoze ou vle nou pataje ekran an. Oke, gwo. Se konsa, ou jis bezwen tounen apre pataje. Oke, kidonk sa a se pwojeksyon. OK, mwen ka anile repons mwen an. Oke, jis pa fèmen laptop ou.
[Kevin Harrington]: Kidonk, Paula, ou pral kòmanse nan tèt la.
[Unidentified]: Oh, li pral avanse glise a.
[Kevin Harrington]: Briyan. Lè sa a, nou pèdi mikwofòn la.
[Unidentified]: Mwen pral pran li. Se konsa, mwen pa kapab, mwen pa ka achte yon machin pou tout moun?
[Kevin Harrington]: Wi, sa ta dwe byen. Mwen ta vle vin isit la.
[Unidentified]: Wi, mwen vle di, mwen ta ka ale nan yon lòt bò epi, ou konnen, tout sa nou ka fè se deplase chèz sa a.
[Emily Innes]: Jiska isit la.
[Unidentified]: Sa ta pafè. Mwen te chita sou chèz sa a. Mwen vle isit la.
[Emily Innes]: Kapoti Paula ak dra bò yo wo epi yo ka soufle nan van an. Paula, fòm kòmantè nou an gwo.
[Unidentified]: Paula pran ekran an. Mwen pral mande moun ki soti nan sal datant pou yo antre paske gen moun isit la.
[Adam Hurtubise]: Lojman abòdab. Wi, wi.
[Alicia Hunt]: Gen restriksyon ekri sou sa a. Se poutèt sa ou toujou oblije revann li. An reyalite, Danielle se yon ekspè nan sa. Eske se Daniela? Ou sèten ou kapab, men... ou p'ap janm jwenn yon van. Men, ou ka jwenn kèk kalite benefis. Mwen pa... Eske se Danielle? Mwen pè kesyon sa yo...

Mwen kite moun antre nan sal datant la.
[Alicia Hunt]: Oh, mwen voye kretyen soti. Ann kontinye ak li. Èske Paula se yon ko-animatè tou? Wi, li ka pataje. Li ka oswa li pa kapab fè sa. Koulye a, anvan nou kòmanse, èske ou ka fè moun nan sal datant la antre jiskaske mwen chita isit la? Kite tout moun nan kèlkeswa moun ki parèt.
[Adam Hurtubise]: Tout se byen.
[Unidentified]: Oke, ann fè kèk matematik rapid. Gen 14 sou Zoom. Wi. Se konsa, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 pa. Gen sis moun sou Zoom ki pa anplwaye vil oswa anplwaye teknik. Tout se byen. Nou gen 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 isit la. Kretyen, mwen, Beck, ou.
[Alicia Hunt]: Espesyalis nan bilding, Laurel nan biwo mwen an, Teresa nan biwo mwen an.
[Unidentified]: Kote nou ye? Kounye a se anviwon 6:05 p.m. Wi, mwen jis voye yon mesaj ki di, kite m kòmanse nan kèk minit. Wi, anjeneral sa rive lè li deja disponib, jis paske mwen vle respekte moun ki nan chanm nan, epi gen kat moun, aktyèlman de moun k ap dòmi nan chanm nan. Wi. Wi. Èske li se yon pataje ekran? Lè nou pare pou pataje ekran an, ekran an pral pataje. Ou vle nou gen anpil moun? Mwen panse li itil paske li fè moun konnen lè Zoomie nan bon plas la. Hey, vin chèche m apre w fin bwè w nan chanm nan. Wi, mwen te deja pran kèk bagay ale, kidonk si ou ta renmen, jis tann yon ti moman epi apre sa nou pral kòmanse. Oke, moun ki aleka a ta ka ap pale.
[Alicia Hunt]: Mwen ta di yo ap pale dousman ak Emily epi koute nou sou Zoom. Se konsa, sa a se yon mikwofòn? Se mikwofòn yo.
[Unidentified]: Ou ka tande nou diskite sou nenpòt bagay ak tout bagay sou YouTube.
[Emily Innes]: Sitou lè yo fè sa. Wi.
[Alicia Hunt]: Yon fwa nou kòmanse demoing, mwen mennen moun nan. Mwen jis di, osi lontan ke nou la, pèsonn pa pral gade. Yon fwa nou te andedan, kretyen ta ap pale sou òdinatè a.
[Emily Innes]: Oke, gwo.
[Alicia Hunt]: Mikwofòn sa a ap viv tou. Se li ki dwe kenbe nou.
[Unidentified]: Bon, mwen menm menm. Èske li fèmen? Mwen panse sa. Li pap fèmen.
[Alicia Hunt]: Paske li kaptire anpil son surround, moun panse, "Nou ka sèlman gen sa isit la."
[Unidentified]: Se sa?
[Alicia Hunt]: OK Wi, paske li pa apwopriye pou chanm lan.
[Unidentified]: Koulye a, li pa an silans. Oke, lè ou pare, Alicia, èske ou bèbè oswa mwen bèbè? Li ta dwe sèl nan nanm mwen. Wi, li pa t vle m fè entwodiksyon an. Tout se byen. Oke, moun ki pale laptop mwen yo. Mwen pa konnen sa ou vle di. Oh, kite m fèmen kann mwen an. Wi nou te fè.
[Matt Leming]: Byenveni nan yon aktyalizasyon dekoupaj an zòn sou kèk nan travay n ap fè nan Medford Square. Pral gen yon foul moun yon ti jan konfòtab aswè a. Men mèsi. Mèsi ak tout moun ki te vin patisipe nan pwosesis sa a, mèsi ak tout moun ki te ajiste zoom la ak/oswa ki te deside revize anrejistreman an pita. Non mwen se Matt Lemming. Mwen se yon manm kongrè nan Medford. Mwen prezidan Komite Planifikasyon ak Lisans. Nou jwenn ansanm ak Dina Caliguero, yon manm Komisyon Devlopman Kominotè Medford, ki Konsèy Vil la ap travay avèk. Gen kèk pwoblèm volim isit la, avèk ki moun Konsèy Vil la ap travay pou angaje ak kominote a epi apwouve kèk nan chanjman dekoupaj an zòn sa yo ki pral lakòz yon Medford Square ki pi vibran e ki gen plis ekipman. Nou te ansanm ak Alicia Hunt, Direktè Biwo Planifikasyon, Devlopman ak Dirab, ak youn nan ekspè ekip nou an, ansanm ak Emily Innes ki soti nan Innes Land Group. Ki moun ki vil la ap travay ak pou ede nou vrèman zewo sou kèk ekspè yo bay ekspètiz nan vil la pandan n ap pase nan pwosesis rezoning la? Li te travay tou ak Daniel Evans, planifikatè ansyen pou vil Medford. Èske gen nenpòt lòt moun mwen neglije?
[Alicia Hunt]: Nou ta renmen remèsye anplwaye MCM yo.
[Matt Leming]: Men, wi, mwen vle di yon gwo mèsi tou ak anplwaye yo ak volontè nan Medford Community Media pou ede òganize sa a. Mwen te wè Kevin Harrington, Mark Davidson, sa te pran yo yon ti tan pou jwenn sware yo pou ede òganize reyinyon sa a. Mwen vle remèsye tout moun paske yo te la epi koute nou. Kèk enfòmasyon sou pwosesis la. Mwen pral raz ou pou kèk minit. Kidonk, fason chanjman zòn sa yo travay anba lwa jeneral masiv la se ke chanjman zòn yo soti nan konsèy vil yo, ofisyèl eli yo ak Pwosesis pou apwouve yon chanjman dekoupaj an zòn se voye l bay konsèy planifikasyon an, Komisyon Devlopman Kominotè Medford la. Se poutèt sa nou te òganize odyans piblik ansanm ant Konsèy Vil la ak Komite Devlopman Kominotè a pou jwenn fidbak nan men rezidan yo sou kèk nan chanjman zòn sa yo. Pou diskite fòmèlman sou chanjman zòn sa yo ak Konsèy Vil la ak CBD, w ap bezwen voye yon imèl ba nou oswa ale nan youn nan odyans piblik yo, pwochen an ap fèt nan City Hall le 25 mas a 6 p.m. pou konnen opinyon w. Nou planifye pou selebre kèk Kesyon ak repons apre prezantasyon an. Men, li ta dwe remake ke li pa pral ofisyèlman anrejistre kòm kòmantè piblik sof si li voye pa imèl oswa ekri sou yon kalite kat epi pita soumèt bay Palman an. Men moun isit la ap koute nou tout. Nou vrèman pran swen ou. Ki jan piblik la santi sou sa a ak angaje moun nan pwosesis la nan pi bon fason posib. Kidonk, ann refere pwoblèm nan yon fason enfòmèl bay tou de konsèy yo. Men, tanpri sonje ke si ou ta renmen fè kòmantè sou nenpòt bagay ou tande, li pi bon voye imèl Konsèy Vil la ak CBD pita. Sa di, mwen pral remèt mikwofòn nan bay Alicia Hunter anvan epi li pral prezante tèt li. Wi.
[Alicia Hunt]: Bonswa. Mèsi pou vizite. Mwen jis te vle netwaye aswè a, tankou nou fè nan reyinyon piblik yo. Sa a se pa tou yon espas tipik pou anpil nan nou, kidonk mwen pral fè tout moun konnen ke gen yon sòti dirèk nan deyò a anba siy la sòti. Nou gen tou yon fòm enskripsyon la. Nou pral kontan jwenn enfòmasyon ou yo. Nou gen kat kòmantè fizik tou. Se konsa, si ou bezwen kèk fidbak, souke men l '. Jwenn li nan fowòm nan pou yo ka ranpli li epi ban nou li, epi ekip Emily a ap transkri li pou nou ka pataje li ak tablo CD ak Meri a pou yo ka ekri li epi li vin ofisyèlman revi yo. Epitou, pou moun ki sou Zoom, nou gen yon fòm sou entènèt, petèt kretyen ka jwenn URL fòm sa a epi mete l nan chat la pou nenpòt moun ki sou entènèt. Mwen panse ke moun yo toujou kirye sou sa. Nou gen 15 moun sou entènèt, 8 ladan yo se sitwayen. Rès yo se anplwaye ak teknisyen. Apre sa, nou, tann, mwen konte, èske te gen nèf oswa dis nan chanm nan? Sa yo se manm odyans yo 10 nan sal la, manm odyans yo. Mwen santi tankou moun k ap itilize Zoom toujou vle konnen konbyen moun ki nan chanm nan, epi moun ki nan sal la vle konnen konbyen moun k ap itilize Zoom. Se konsa, mwen te vle pataje sa a. Si ou soti, nou gen twalèt tou isit la, kidonk sa se yon lòt sòti nan oditoryòm nan adwat mwen ki mennen ou nan antre prensipal la nan lekòl la. Pou moun nan nou ki pa konnen lekòl la, si ou mache nan sal la, deyò, ou pral trè byen wè twalèt gason ak fanm yo. Mwen panse ke yo vle di gason ak fanm. Ou ka di ti gason ak tifi. Men, yo la, epi yo gwosè lavi yo. Se pa tankou lekòl primè. Epi gen dlo la. Sepandan, nou mande pou w pa mache nan lakou lekòl la. Aswè a nou pral sèlman itilize twalèt yo nan oditoryòm nan. Mwen panse ke sa yo se tout bagay ke nou te kaptire nan kat kòmantè a, epi mwen pral remèt li bay Emily Innis ak ekip li a kòm ekip konsiltasyon ke nou anboche pou ede nou ak pwojè sa a.
[Emily Innes]: Thank you so much Councilor Leming and Alicia. Good evening. Thank you all very much for being here in person to those of you who are online. Thank you very much for being online we appreciate your participation. So what I'm going to do is walk you through where we are today where we are in the process Councilor Leming gave you kind of the overview I'm going to go into a little bit more depth on that. show you some of the things that we've been doing in terms of research into the existing zoning and built environment of Medford square how that has been informing what we're doing. Talk to you a little bit about how the public hearing has been changing what we're putting out for the, the changes for the city council and the CD board to consider. and how we're taking public comment from tonight, from both here and from zoom and incorporating that into the work so this is still very much a process we did meet with some people earlier I'm going to talk about that. If you can click on the, just click on the PDF again. There we go, beautiful. So these are the things that we'll be talking about. So just where we are overall in our scope as consultants working with the city, we are in phase one. So we're working on Medford Square, there's some items for cleaning up in the zoning that we're assisting with, but primarily in this phase one, we are working on Medford Square. Once this zoning has been complete and gone all the way through, We will be moving to working on Tufts institutional and also Boston Avenue, and that takes us to the end of June so these are just the things that we're talking about now, you can see we have two community meetings this is community meeting. Number two, for the Medford square process we are meeting with the city officials that's the joint hearings primarily although we did bring the CD board up to speed on the whole zoning process, and then in phase two we will also have to community meetings. and the same four meetings on those joint boards. So just so you know where we are with that. In terms of a timeline, you can see second public meeting right here, March 11th, where first public meeting was at the senior center. It was a daytime meeting. So what we're trying to do is capture people at the different times and places that work for them. We then had that joint hearing on February 25th with the city council and the CD board. The two groups together discussed some things that they would like us to delve further into, and we've been working on that. So on March 25th, we will be presenting our recommended changes based on what we heard on 219, what the city council and the city board gave us on 225, and what we're hearing from people today. So it's one of the many reasons we really appreciate you being here. After that, we will get any further instructions from changes or anything, but at that joint hearing on 325, the two groups will be talking about the next stages. So, let's talk a little bit about why we're here doing zoning for Medford square we've really got some major planning documents that the city has done over the last few years. The top being the Medford comprehensive plan and 2023 that laid out a vision for the city. actions and recommendations. And one of those was to work on zoning and had some very specific ideas and vision around Medford Square. Now, the comprehensive plan is only the latest in the series of planning documents that the city has done for Medford Square. So we have delved back through those, including going all the way back to 2005. There were some intervening studies, but we wanted to give you the earliest. The city also did a climate action and adaptation plan in 2022, and that has fed into some of our ideas for development standards. In other words, if you are going to do building in Medford Square, what standards is the city requiring that you meet? So that feeds into part of it. Talk about some of the other things that feed into the standards as we go through. So the first thing we start off with is the existing zoning and there are two major districts commercial one is the the pink zoning district you see on your screen apartment two is the orange and then there's a sort of yellowy orange general residential. that's just on, I think it's about maybe two or three parcels in this area. So we've primarily been focusing on commercial one and apartment two to understand what's allowed. Now, commercial one, strangely enough, allows commercial uses. You would expect that. And apartment two allows residential uses. One of the things that has been part of the vision for Medford Square is this idea of mixed use. Mixed use could be mixed use within the same building or mixed use within the same lot. That's coming out of planning discussions and theory and practice about residential supporting the local businesses. If you get enough people living in an area, they support the businesses that exist in that area. One of the things that we have seen over the decades is a hollowing out of downtowns because there's just simply not enough people to support them and the planning practice has been to add the mixed use. to create that support. So that's one of the things, commercial one and apartment two don't allow for that mixed use, so one of the things we're doing is adding that back in. The other thing that's quite interesting, and although the dimensional standards were on that map and on the physical maps we have in the room, We always look to see does the zoning actually allow what the community wants to see and it's quite frequent in New England towns and villages and cities that the building came first. And then the zoning, actually the type of zoning that we mostly have now, which is one very much focused on the separation of uses, turns 100 years old this year. It's the anniversary of a court case that led to what's called Euclidean zoning after Euclid, Ohio. And that zoning was about separating uses, having commercial and having residential, but not putting them together. But most of our communities, especially in New England, are much older than 100 years. And so what we find is at some point zoning came into a community, didn't always zone well for what was already there. So one of the things we look at is what does your current zoning allow? And it doesn't match what you have and doesn't match what you want. And I've just cherry picked height as a dimensional standard because a lot of people, you know, to talk about this, because a lot of people, you know, it's easy to look at a building and say, well, that's four stories or three stories or 10 stories. It's sometimes a little bit harder to say, well, is that front set back 25 feet or is it five feet? Easy if it's zero. So we're going to talk about height. So right now the commercial one district allows for four stories for other permitted uses, which is basically anything other than the multifamily assisted living at six stories or a hotel at 15. So the commercial does allow multifamily, but it doesn't allow mixed use, i.e., multifamily and commercial in the same building. And it allows 15 stories for a hotel. Apartment 2 for, and this is symptomatic by the way, Medford's dimensional standards are pretty much all use-based. So how high, how much, how it fits on the lot is all based on use and not based on district. And what this does is it leads kind of a choppy effect depending on what use comes in. It also limits what can happen if a use you want in an existing building doesn't match the dimensional standards. So an apartment two, remember side by side with commercial one, two and a half stories for a detached single or two family, three stories for an attached single or two family, that's a townhouse or a row house generally, six stories for multifamily, and 15 stories for other permitted uses. We have heard through many conversations with the community that 15 stories is not a height that people have wanted in much of this part of the area, so we're taking that into account. And then we're also looking, well, what happens if you want a mixed use at six stories and that's not allowed? The other thing that, as we think about dimensional standards and uses, that is really important is how do you allow it? Do you allow it by right, which means the person who wants to do something just has to get a building permit? Do you allow it by site plan review, which means the use is by right. You have to allow the use, but you can put some conditions on the building or the site Or do you allow it by special permit, which includes site plan review, but has a higher level of discretion, which means the planning board can say no to the use? So, as you're thinking about this, all of this is coming into play. What do you allow? The where, the how much, the how high, the how wide, where it is on the lot, and then the how do you use it? What is the permitting process? So we also did a lot of maps on the existing conditions. I'm not going to show everything. I believe they're still online for the city's website. We are building a new website which should be ready to launch this week actually. So this shows just the boundary of the area. This is the Medford Square that we're looking at. We have talked about how that boundary should shift and would be really interested in hearing your thoughts. We looked at the existing uses, so just so you know, the lighter yellows, oranges, and browns are residential. Red is commercial, purple is industrial, and the bright blue is municipal use. So we like to know what's on the ground, not just what's zoned, but what's actually there. We looked at the historic buildings. So a historic inventory was done of Medford Square. There are some buildings that are on the National Register. There's one building that has an actual preservation restriction on it, which is deed restricted. There are others that have been deemed to be architecturally significant. There are some where the architectural significance either wasn't there or it's been lost over the years, and some were just noted. So here are some of the buildings that are on the National Register of Historic Places. One of the things that we heard from the Community Development Board in thinking about the zoning is how do we put into place either standards or incentives to protect these buildings, and so that's something that we've been working on. and are looking forward to sharing at the March 25th public hearing. So those are kind of the things, you know, the existing conditions, what's on the ground now, what uses are allowed now, what's the zoning, where are the historic buildings, how do we think of this? And this was the map that was referred from the city council to the community development board last spring. So this is undergoing some changes. We're going to show you some of those. Tonight you can see there's a couple of districts that we more this map is boundary is larger than I just showed you and that's because we've already been making some changes in response to public comment. So you can see a mixed use one which is the paler blue. 2A is the bright blue, 2B is the purple, and mixed-use 3 is the very bright purple in the southeast corner there. There are also some neighborhood zoning districts that are not being discussed now. So taking those neighborhood zoning districts out, you can see again 1B is the lighter blue, 2A, 2B, and 3. The uses mostly remain the same among these mixed-use districts. It's a square. We want a certain amount of commercial and residential and certain types that are appropriate to a downtown of a community. Where the changes really come is in terms of the height and in terms of some of the other dimensional standards. The the setback, which is how far from the edges of the lot you can build and some of those other key standards. So I'm going to actually go back because I can see it here. So we've got two height levels. One is the base height and one is what's called the incentive height. And what this means is that you have a base height that you're allowed to do as of right. You can go and put your building permit in, you may have site plan review depending on what else is going on, but that's allowed as of right. However, if you provide a greater community benefit, and there's a table in the draft zoning that identifies those benefits, if you provide that greater community benefit, you're allowed to go up in height, and how far up you're allowed to go depends on the zone. So for the 1B, and I'm going to talk about some changes that we're proposing in a bit, but for the 1B, it allows four stories by right. In many cases, that's where those buildings are, not all of them. And then it would allow just one more by that incentive in exchange for the public benefits. Public benefits include things like affordable housing, different levels of affordable housing gives you the right to more height and includes some of public amenities as well in terms of things that would be helpful for a downtown area, plazas, parking changes, energy efficient buildings, those sort of things. There's a structure system in there of which benefits allow which levels of height. So 1B, four stories, one incentive. 2A, four stories by right, two incentive. 2B, seven stories by right with two incentive. And 3, which is right up against 93, is eight stories by right and four incentives. There are some quite tall buildings there already. And of course, you're right up against the highway. So for those of you in the room, these tables are up on boards, so you can go and have a look. And if you want to go and have a look and come back and ask a question, that's fabulous as well, but I'm just going to tell you what they are. I realize they're a little bit difficult to see. For those of you online, we can always come back to this if you have a question on it. This will also be available online for anybody who wants to look and then use that form that Director Hunt mentioned. It says the 2025 joint hearing may include additional suggested changes. I will say that the 2025 hearing did include some additional suggested changes on some of these boards, so we're working on those. But what this does is this tells you what building types or uses are allowed in each of these districts. So you can see historic conversion, i.e. the conversion of an existing historic house into more than one dwelling unit is allowed in 1B and 2A. A multiplex, which is four to six dwelling units, is allowed in 1B and 2A. And then after that, multi-unit dwelling, six or more, because this is a downtown, we do want to have more units. The commercial building and the mixed-use buildings, these are allowed in all of the districts, but the height varies by district and other dimensional standards vary by district. These are the dimensional standards, so just running down what dimensional standards are, so I think I said before they govern where you can build in terms of what lot sizes and also where the building is on the lot. So they range from the lot area, which is just the square footage of the lot. There's a minimum lot area that's required that has the frontage, which is the length of the lot along the street is what the frontage is. The facade build out is how much of that length has to be the building facade. In other words, how much building you have to have. That's important for walkability. What we don't want is large gaps between buildings that break up the teeth. You don't have a lot of those now, and we don't want to create an incentive to create those. Active ground floor talks about what's happening. If you're a pedestrian walking along, what can you see? Now, it used to be that active ground floors were just retail or restaurant, but what we found is that depending on the market cycle when something is built, It can be really hard to require that. People were building mixed-use buildings and leaving the ground floor empty because they couldn't fill it. So now when we think about active uses, we think about things that are just beyond retail and residential. It could be, for example, a building that also has, if it has a multifamily, It has the active lobby, it's got the common spaces, the spaces that create some sort of sense of vitality. It might be a public plaza counts as your active space where people can sit. Maybe there's a cafe in the building so people can sit and eat outside. So the planning theory has been to expand that in many communities. The base height is what I was just talking about, the height of the building and then the incentive height. Setbacks are how far away the building is from the front, the side, or the rear lot lines. Building coverage is how much of the lot is covered by the building itself. Pervious surface is how much of the lot allows water to filter into the ground underneath. This is really important, especially in downtown areas. We want to make sure that stormwater from a building and a lot are not running off into the public street, are not creating flooding problems, so the pervious surfaces help with that. Open space landscape is how much of the lot actually has green on it, so shrubs, trees, other plantings. Green score is for the higher buildings, so the pervious and the open space landscape applies at some level, but when you get to those taller buildings, The green score is a better measure than open space or pervious surface of how well the building is responding to and interacting with the environment in terms of stormwater efficiency, shade, etc. And that is something that the city passed Last year, no, end of 2024. End of 2024 for the green score. That applies not just to Medford Square, but to any of the districts. And then the parking requirements, how much parking is allowed on the site. So you can have a look at those. Actually, I'm just gonna go back. On the parking requirement, we have been receiving public comment, either at the meetings or written in at the last meeting, that parking is a large concern in Medford Square. That is not a surprise, given the street layouts, given the number of buildings on it. So one of the directions we heard from the February 2025 meeting was this, well, actually got moved. Sorry, I keep referring to it. 2025 joint hearing, but it was actually moved because of the snow to March 3rd. But one of the things that we heard was we need to get more creative on the parking standards and what's allowed. So that is something else that will come back to the March 2025 meeting. We've been working hard on that historic preservation and incentives for that and also on parking standards and some flexibility on that. So this again, because height is such an easy one for us to all think about and understand, some of the other analyses that we did was, I mentioned what's existing now, so this is an example of how as we're developing the zoning, we're going back and saying, okay, what's going to be the impact of the zoning as we make these changes? So we looked at, there's the aerial view, we looked at the existing building height, the allowed height based on the existing zoning, and then the allowed height in the proposed zoning. So we can get a sense of what's there already. This becomes really important when you're trying to incentivize certain things. So for example, for a historic building, If that historic building is four stories, we may want to put it in a district where the height is four stories because we don't want to incentivize a change to that. Whereas if we have an empty lot, we may want to make the stories higher because we want to incentivize some sort of change. So just the considerations we think about as we go back and forth. So, almost done. Next steps. Here we are. We are listening, we hope, to your comments and questions tonight. If you have them written for us, we'll take them back with us, or if you want to think about it and put the question in the online form, that would be great. And then March 25th, we are back to the joint hearing. We're going to provide our response, the directions that we received, and anything that we heard from today, and then just hear what the joint boards have to say about that, see if we need to provide anything else, or if they're at a point where they say, okay, now we need to have our own discussions. So as I said, really pleased that you're all here tonight. I'm going to stop talking and we're happy to take some questions. Don't know how you guys want to do that, so I'm going to turn it over to you, Councilor Leming.
[Matt Leming]: OK Oke, mèsi. Mèsi anpil Emily pou diskou w la. Se konsa, nan moman sa a, si yon moun gen nenpòt kesyon, kòmantè, kòmantè, kontribisyon, enkyetid, oswa nenpòt lòt bagay ou ta renmen di Oke, se te yon gwo diskou tande. Mwen vle tou remèsye kòlèg mwen an, Manm Kongrè Anna Callahan, ki te rive anviwon 6:30 p.m., e sa se yon lòt resous, Alicia, èske Zoom disponib pou reponn kesyon moun ki isit la nòmalman? Se sa
[Alicia Hunt]: Sa a se li, èske ou vle mwen sispann pataje ekran sof si moun vle mwen sispann? Wi, nou souvan ale retounen ak lide sou Zoom ak moun ki vle leve men yo. Nou ka rele yo. Si moun ka tape kesyon nan Q&A oswa nan Zoom, ou te pèmèt Q&A. Oswa leve men ou epi nou ka reaktive li. Si yon moun nan sal la gen yon kesyon, nou gen mikwofòn. Paula kenbe mikwo a. Se konsa, tout bagay anfòm. padon. Donk Paula te gen yon mikwo pou moun ki nan chanm nan. Nou dwe itilize. Padon, mwen pa ta dwe gade ekran an. Nou dwe itilize mikwofòn pou moun ki sou Zoom ka tande moun ki nan sal la. Lè sa a, nou ka distribye li. Lè sa a, leve men ou sou Zoom. Mwen pa konnen si ou te tande pale de li. Klèman sa a se yon pwoblèm. Si w vle poze yon kesyon oswa fè yon kòmantè oswa leve men w nan chanm nan epi Paula fè sa, mwen pral rele w, sof si Matt, ou vle rele yon lòt moun. Men, mwen chanje ant Zoom ak Zoom.
[Matt Leming]: Èske odyo a tabli pou nou ka tande l?
[Alicia Hunt]: Wi, Kevin ap travay sou sa, kidonk si yo poze yon kesyon sou Zoom, nou ka tande odyo Zoom la. Ah, istwa chat mwen an dwe kache. Chat mwen an di non, o non, jis non, ekran yo montre yo pa efase chat la. Yeah, pa gen moun ki aktyèlman leve men yo ankò e pa gen anyen nan chat la. Èske gen moun ki gen anyen? Yon moun dwe poze yon kòmantè oswa yon kesyon. Tout se byen. Se konsa, nou gen youn nan chanm nan. Se konsa, pou èd teknik, nou jis vle asire w ke mikwofòn sa a se, Paolo, ou vle pale avè l '? Non, mwen vle di, Kevin, petèt nou pa konnen ki jan yo limen mikro nan chanm nan.
[Unidentified]: Mwen konnen w ap manyen li, men gen mo ladan l.
[Alicia Hunt]: Padon, men Kevin vini. Èske ou vle nou sèvi ak li?
[Maryanne Adduci]: Li gen youn ak yon kab. Nou pa fè sa.
[Alicia Hunt]: Li kapab. Èske sa vle di moun yo dwe vin isit la? Nou pa kapab. Wi. Èske limit dèyè chèz mwen an? Sa a pral yon etap pi lwen.
[Kevin Harrington]: Se li, o. Ou bon pou ale.
[Alicia Hunt]: Vle kòmanse ak sa a? Men malerezman ou oblije vin isit la. Si ou tann yon minit oswa ou ka pale sou li.
[SPEAKER_03]: Kesyon mwen an se sou poste nan Salem Street. Kiyès ki posede tè a?
[Alicia Hunt]: National Grid posede tè a. Sa a se yon rezo nasyonal.
[SPEAKER_03]: Èske w gen yon kontra lwaye alontèm? Mwen vle di, èske w te planifye pou w soti la oswa ki jan sitiyasyon an te ye?
[Alicia Hunt]: OK Donk National Grid posede tè a e li pa janm di nou ke li gen entansyon fè yon lòt bagay ak tè a. Nou kwè ke sa a se yon poste enpòtan pou yo. Men, anjeneral dilè pa deplase bagay sa yo fasil.
[SPEAKER_03]: OK Se sa mwen vle konnen.
[Alicia Hunt]: Eksepsyonèl. Mèsi. Ase li pou di, pa gen moun ki te manyen sou Zoom. Zoom san men. Mikwofòn mwen an jis sispann travay. Nou ap itilize sa a.
[Kevin Harrington]: Si ou ka kontinye ak sa a, mwen pral mennen li nan izolwa a pou wè si mwen ka jwenn li tounen.
[Alicia Hunt]: Mike ap travay kounye a. Èske nivo yo pare? Oke, oke.
[Paul Garrity]: Alo, mwen vle remèsye ou pou gwo travay ou ap fè a, men kesyon mwen an se, koute prezantasyon aswè a, ou te pale sou itilizasyon zòn ak zòn distri. M ap mande tèt mwen: Èske zòn nan nan fòm final li a reflete enpak sou trafik la? Ou konnen, si nou te gen sèten itilizasyon nan sèten pati nan plas la, ki jan zòn nan ta enkòpore oswa reflete kantite trafik ki pase nan zòn sa a jodi a?
[Alicia Hunt]: Emily, ou vle, se sa ou te reponn anvan.
[Emily Innes]: Sa a se yon trè bon kesyon. Trafik souvan vin yon pwoblèm nan pwojè dekoupaj an zòn, kidonk trafik yo souvan pa modle pandan dekoupaj an zòn paske zòn nan pèmèt yon moun fè yon bagay, men ou konnen pwopriyetè bilding lan ka pa fè anyen nan bilding yo pandan 50 ane oswa menm lè sa a. Nenpòt previzyon trafik yo pa efikas, donk dekoupaj an zòn pa pral abòde pwoblèm sa a, men sa a pral pran an konsiderasyon pandan revizyon plan konesans la oswa pwosesis pèmi espesyal pou etid trafik yo ka fèt nan moman sa a pou konprann enpak nenpòt devlopman separe sou kare a. Nou gen eksperyans kondwi atravè plas la nan diferan lè nan lajounen ak lannwit, kidonk nou konprann enkyetid la, men se pa yon pwoblèm ke zonaj anjeneral adrese. Mwen panse ke youn nan sa yo pral tou gen enpak sou sa nou fè an tèm de jesyon pakin, paske pakin ak trafik yo gen tandans mache men nan men si moun pa gen yon kote yo pake. Yo ka ale nan kèk fwa, ki pa ede trafik. Si yo gen altènativ, tankou liy otobis, epi ankouraje yo sèvi ak yo, li p ap rezoud pwoblèm kaptire a, men li pral ede rezoud kèk pati nan li. Se konsa, nou konnen li se yon pwoblèm, men li pa nesesèman yon pwoblèm ke partitioning pou kont li ka konplètman rezoud. Se sa ki rive lè yon kandida parèt pou adrese pwoblèm nan. Alicia, mwen mande ki lòt bagay ou genyen?
[Kevin Harrington]: Mikwofòn kontwole youn ak de. M regrèt deranje nou, men mikwofòn branche ou a (pa mikwofòn san fil) ta dwe travay kounye a.
[Alicia Hunt]: Mèsi Kevin.
[Matt Leming]: Mèsi Kevin. Koulye a, nou gen twa mikwofòn, zanmi. Non, mwen pa t 'wè pèsonn leve men yo sou Zoom. Si yon moun vle poze yon kesyon, pa ezite klike sou ikòn Zoom la.
[Maryanne Adduci]: Bonjou, mwen rele Rene. Mwen rete nan 11 Ashland Street. Mèsi paske w te patisipe nan reyinyon sa a. Mwen ap eseye imajine kisa sa ta ye si nou te pèmèt 15 istwa nan Salem Street.
[Alicia Hunt]: An reyalite, yo dwe klè, 15 etaj yo kounye a pèmèt, men yo pa pwopoze. Sèl sit yo pwopoze yo se de simityè kote deja gen gwo bilding 12 etaj. De plot sa yo plis plot akote gran wout kote otèl la ye e kote Transom gen entansyon konstwi yon pakin. Kounye a li pwopoze pou yon pakin kat etaj. Se konsa, sak sa yo aktyèlman kenbe 15 kounye a. Ah, sijesyon sa a se jiska 13 kouch. Kounye a, yon moun ta ka pwopoze bati yon otèl 15 etaj nan mitan Medford Square epi li ta pèmèt. Quote, tout lòt itilizasyon nan tout zòn ki nan lis kounye a kòm Apatman 2 ta ka 15yèm etaj. Se konsa, aktyèlman, gen mwens patisyon. Depase maksimòm ki pèmèt kounye a. Sa mwen pa pèmèt jodi a se yon bilding apatman 15 etaj. Sa a pa pèmèt. Èske sa ede yon ti kras? Paske nou pa t ap atann li tou. Nou pa panse sa ta dwe pèmèt.
[Maryanne Adduci]: Youn nan enkyetid prensipal mwen an se ki jan nou kenbe kominote nou an pou li vrèman se kominote nou an? Paske nou te la pou plis pase 40 ane. Nou renmen rete la. Nou vle kontinye viv la, men mwen pa konnen ki jan sa ta ye si tout bagay bò kote nou yo te antoure pa bilding ak pa gen espas vèt. Premyèman, pa gen anpil espas vèt isit la, ki te yon enkyetid pou mwen.
[Alicia Hunt]: Pifò patisyon yo. Se konsa, nou antisipe ou pral enterese nan kèk nan istwa yo, kèk nan istwa yo kounye a, sa yo anpil vid nan Medford Square. Nou mete yo nan yon RFP epi nou te mande kisa moun te vle fè ak yo. Ak sa yo plis vle monte se setyèm etaj la. Sa pral nan bilding lan akote City Hall. Ann reflechi, y ap pwopoze yon lòt kote tou pre larivyè a ke mwen pa t ka di si se te kat oswa senk etaj san gade òdinatè a, e mwen dezole, men se sa yo pwopoze e se sa yo vle fè nan lokal sa a. Sa nou panse ki pral yon benefis reyèl pou kominote a se tout bilding yon sèl etaj sou Riverside Drive, ak larivyè Lefrat la, se konsa petèt yo pral gen apatman de etaj paske Lè sa a, plis moun pral desann, sèvi ak kafe yo, sèvi ak restoran yo, pase nwit la nan kare a epi jwi kèk nan nocturne a san yo pa gen moun ki gen pou kondwi. Kounye a, prèske tout nocturne nan kare a se moun ki kondui nan teyat la. Sa a pral pote kèk aktivite nan aswè yo lè pa gen okenn montre. nan teyat Se plis oswa mwens sa nou wè. Mwen pa konnen si ou gen anyen pou ajoute. Mwen rate yon bagay ou te di. Ah, plis oswa mwens sou espas vèt. Kidonk, youn nan bagay ki pa obligatwa nan zòn nou an kounye a se pèmeyabilite, tankou tè ke dlo ka antre. Epi nou pa gen vrèman bon kondisyon anviwònman an. Se konsa, nòt vèt se kote moun fè nòt zèb, pye bwa, touf, mi vèt, ou konnen, petèt ou mete vejetasyon sou miray la. Se konsa, ajoute yon ti kras nan kontèks, mwen panse ke ou ka pi byen diskite sou kèk nan detay yo nan zòn sa a.
[Emily Innes]: Oke, mwen aktyèlman pral remèt li nan men Paula, ki te ede devlope li. Dezole, Paula. Men, mwen pral di ke nou rekonèt ke Medford Square pa gen anpil espas vèt. Nou rekonèt tou enkyetid konsènan zòn rezidansyèl toupre Medford Square. Se poutèt sa, nou aplike kèk estanda. Youn nan yo se kenbe wotè. Yo dwe deplase soti nan zòn rezidansyèl yo. Sa nou poko mete devan, men nou te diskite sou li e nou pral bay tèks nan reyinyon 25 Mas la, se yon fraksyon lajounen ki mande yon sèten kantite minimòm limyè lajounen nan bilding sa yo, ki pral evidamman gen yon enpak sou konsepsyon an. Mwen mande si ou vle pale sou objektif pwen vèt ak kèk nan bagay ki ka mennen nan pwen vèt.
[Paula Ramos Martinez]: Wi, nòt vèt yo se jis sa. Yo ap eseye konsidere pi gwo enpak nan plis konstriksyon, ap eseye fè jesyon dlo lapli vèt ak ekolojik pi bon pase sa li ye kounye a. Se konsa, ou ka gen yon meni ak anpil bagay diferan ou ka fè. Li baze sou amelyore ekosistèm sit entènèt la. Se konsa, si ou gen pye bwa, pi gwo pye bwa, ap ba ou plis pwen. Ou pral jwenn plis pwen si ou gen yon do kay vèt ki ede absòbe imidite. Sifas pèmeyab yo bay plis pwen. Se poutèt sa, nou gen yon estanda minimòm ke tout devlopman yo dwe satisfè pou reyalize jesyon dlo ak pi bon sante piblik. Anplis de sa, sa plan dekoupaj an zòn nan eseye fè se pi bon konekte ak espas piblik ki egziste sou rivyè a. Se konsa, ki jan sa ka amelyore nan jaden an? Se konsa, ki jan nou ka fè plis itilizasyon relasyon yon bagay ki deja egziste men ki pa reyèlman yo te itilize ankò?
[Maryanne Adduci]: Mwen dakò ke nou gen gwo resous nan Medford Square, men ki jan nou fè yo itil pou tout moun? Mwen apèn ka tande ou. padon. Mwen dakò nou gen gwo resous nan Medford Square. Priz la ki vin youn. Ki jan nou ka fè sa aksesib a tout moun pou tout moun ka jwi ak viv yon vi ki pi an sante? atmosfè. Se sa ki konsène mwen. Mèsi paske w koute.
[Alicia Hunt]: Kòm nou pa gen anpil kesyon, mwen pral eksplike yon ti kras plis. Paske de bagay diferan ap pase. Youn nan yo se dekoupaj an zòn. Kisa moun ka fè? Kisa yo ka fè? Kisa yo pa gen dwa fè? Anplis de sa, kòmanse nan 2020, vil la pral kreye pozisyon nan direktè devlopman ekonomik. Ekip devlopman ak devlopman ekonomik la, nou menm, moun ki travay nan biwo mwen an ak moun ki gen plis kontak ak devlopè ak pwopriyetè tè ke vil la te aktyèlman te genyen anvan nou te sèlman majistra. Direktè Devlopman Kominotè a ap fè sa. Nou te di nou vrèman bezwen plis moun k ap travay sou sa. Se konsa, moun ki vrèman posede tout bagay sa yo ant Riverside ak Clippership se yon sèl konpayi ak yon sèl moun. Nou te kominike avèk li, ap eseye travay avè l 'pou ede. Ki jan nou ka ankouraje w devlope yon bagay? Kote ou gen yon biznis atravè Clippership Avenue. Ki sa nou ka fè pou ankouraje li? Ou ka remake ke kèk nan bilding sa yo kounye a vid. Se chwa li ye. Youn nan yo se nan move kondisyon e li bezwen renovasyon. Men, nou ap eseye jwenn fason pou ankouraje l. Fè yon bagay ki fè fas a Clippership Drive, konsa fè fas a larivyè Lefrat la, petèt kèk patio pou manje oswa yon bagay konsa. Èske nou ka travay avèk li pou relocate pakin nan vil la nan pake a oswa yon lòt fason pou ou pa jis chita la ap gade machin? Oswa omwen ou ka wè Clippership Drive, men se pa tout machin ki estasyone yo, dwa? Ki jan nou ka fè pi byen sèvi ak espas ki la? Mwen pral di li ankò: Nou ap eseye travay avèk li, men se pa tout devlopè Landover ki reseptif menm jan ak lòt moun. Se pour sa rezon ki nou telman kontan nou later, akoz nou annan kontrol lo sa ki nou pe fer, alor mon’n zwenn avek lazans devlopman, bann dimoun ki dan lakonpannyen devlopman e zot direkter plis ki en fwa par semenn. Ki jan nou kreye yon pak pòch? Ann al pran yon ti kafe. Mwen pa konnen si ou te tande ke li ap kolabore ak yon makèt yo louvri yon magazen la. Kidonk nap travay di pou nou fè pwojè sa a paske nou panse se bagay sa yo ki pral vrèman benefisye kare a. Se konsa, yon lòt bagay li te angaje nan se fè yon anpil nan atizay piblik ki gen rapò ak sa a, espesyalman nan seksyon sa a, men li pral finanse sa kòm yon pati nan sa. Nou te kontinye ap pale de pakin lan, men mwen ak majistra a te fè li klè ke nou pa vle li kontinye konsa. Ki jan fè yon pakin konkrè gade byen? Si ou te janm ale nan yon liy asanblaj, ou ap tankou, "Oh, sa a se yon miral amizan," ak Lè sa a, ou se tankou, "O, aktyèlman, gen yon pakin kache dèyè li," tankou sa a se santi a nou te ale pou. Pwopozisyon li a enkli akò li pou fè sa. Se konsa, travay ak pwopriyetè pwopriyete yo separe de zòn, men nou ankouraje li depi nan kòmansman an. Se konsa, pwopriyetè a nan devlopè travès nou t ap travay ak sou pasèl la te ban nou konsèy trè espesifik sou sa ki ta ak sa ki pa ta travay nan dekoupaj an zòn nan fè pasèl li travay. Malgre ke nou te mande kèk lòt pwopriyetè si yo ta renmen ba nou revi ak opinyon, mwen pa jwenn anyen. Sa se yon pati nan sa nou ap eseye fè: bati relasyon sa yo.
[Emily Innes]: Yeah, Alicia, si mwen ka pale de zonaj, li vrèman enteresan lè w fè dekoupaj an zòn paske gen anpil enkonpreyansyon sou fason zonaj fonksyone. Mwen vle klarifye ke zòn sa a pa retwoaktif, sa vle di, li pa apwouve, kidonk tout moun ki deja posede yon biznis oswa yon bilding oblije konfòme yo ak zòn nan, ki pran efè lè chanjman an rive. Se konsa, si gen nenpòt chanjman, sa nou ap pale sou nòt vèt, kèk nan estanda gwosè yo, kèk nan pakin ak pwoteksyon yo pral la. Se pa ke Konpayi A, ki te alantou pou yon ti tan, dwe konfòme. Sa ka pafwa diminye enkyetid, men ou konnen, li ka ogmante enkyetid tou. Oke, mwen te panse nou ta pral jwenn X. Ebyen, pèsonn pa gen pèmisyon ankò. Se poutèt sa mwen te di zonage bay lisans. Kreye kèk opòtinite. Li gen kèk limit men li pa fòse pèsonn chanje. Mwen panse ke vil la gen yon opòtinite inik nan Medford Square pou pwofite yon mouvman pi pre oswa pi pre. Men, kèk nan bagay sa yo oke, yon moun ta ka fè chanjman sa a ane pwochèn, yon moun ta ka fè chanjman sa a nan senk ane. Se konsa, sa nou ap eseye fè se koute kominote a, mete kondisyon sa yo ak bon balans nan otorizasyon ak restriksyon, se sa nou vle tande sou wout la, ak Lè sa a, pèmèt moun ki posede pwopriyete a, kit yo se pwopriyetè vil oswa pwopriyetè prive, travay nan direksyon objektif sa yo. Se konsa, ou konnen, si nou vle tande plis bagay vèt, fidbak ou vrèman enpòtan. Pwoblèm trafik reyèlman enpòtan ou yo se sa yo nou eseye enkòpore nan dekoupaj an zòn.
[Unidentified]: Gen lòt kesyon?
[Matt Leming]: Non, mwen pa wè kesyon sou Zoom ankò. Ak Ralph? Ralph?
[Ralph Klein]: Kesyon mwen an se: Ki enpak ou wè sou dwa solè? Paske sa a se yon koridò lès-wès. Ou te jwenn plas la nan 300 Salem Street, kote apatman yo nan do a yo sitou nan lonbraj la. Koulye a, mwen pa konnen nimewo yo egzak, men mwen panse ke ou bezwen enèji solè 50 a 60 pousan nan jounen an enstale solè sou kay ou. Lakay mwen gen pouvwa solè. Mwen gen yon ponp chalè gwo vitès. Nou konvèti li tout. Efè a trè bon. Men, ki sa ou jwenn si ou mete yon bilding wo devan bilding sa yo yon sèl ak de etaj? Yon lòt pwoblèm se ke trafik nan Medford Square te terib depi wonnbout la te bati. Chevalier Hall la te itilize men pakin lan te terib. Ou bezwen jwenn plis pakin, kisa ou vle fè nan 300 Salem Street Uit espas pakin pou 14 inite ta ka redwi a nèf. Ou ta dwe kenbe 1.5 nan Medford Square pou bilding ki pral la epi bay pakin adisyonèl pou biznis ki pral la. Mwen konprann ke vil la pa genyen, epi si bilding ou an gen biwo oswa inite komèsyal, ou pa bezwen bay espas pakin. Mwen jwenn sa a nan 300 Salem Street. Pa gen pakin epi li se pou rezidan yo sèlman. Yo pral fè biznis la. Se poutèt sa, nou dwe egzamine aspè sa a tou. Ou bezwen konsidere sa si w gen plan pou itilize premye etaj sa yo kòm yon boutik kafe komèsyal. Nou dwe konsidere dwa solè pèp la nan lari sa yo. Sa a se yon koridò lès-wès. Sa a se deklarasyon mwen an. Mèsi. kesyon?
[Emily Innes]: Kidonk, youn nan bagay nou te fè nan yon reyinyon anvan ki ta dwe nan prezantasyon an sou paj dekoupaj an zòn vil la pandan nou te prezante l ankò bay Komite Devlopman Kominotè a, se te nou te fè kèk etid lonbraj pou montre kote lonbraj yo tonbe parapò ak bilding yo. Aplike nan bilding nan tout kominote a nan kare a. Kòm mwen te mansyone, nou te vini ak yon estanda lajounen, men li te gade ki jan li rive nan fasad la olye ke do kay la. Se konsa, ou konnen, nou vle moun ou konnen yo jwenn pi piti kantite limyè solèy la nan bilding rezidansyèl yo. Shadow Research, mwen pa panse ke yo te montre anyen ki ta frape plafon an, kidonk li jis lòtbò lari a. Men, nou ka pran yon lòt gade nan pwoblèm nan rezoud pwoblèm sa a. Osi lwen ke trafik ak trafik, mwen vle di, nou tande li. Mwen vrèman apresye kòmantè ou sou pakin. Nou toujou ap travay sou fason pou bay plis fleksibilite nan nivo baz la. Se poutèt sa, nou pral pibliye kontni an anvan 25 mas. Men kòmantè ou yo vrèman itil. Mwen pa konnen si gen nenpòt lòt bagay ou ta renmen ajoute? Konsènan poukisa ou mansyone règleman biznis. Wi.
[Matt Leming]: Wi, mwen ka aksepte sa. Mon pa kapab reponn tou detay lo sa bann konsiltan i ankor pe fer rekomandasyon an relasyon avek parking, ki nou pou tande dan meeting 25 Mars. Sa ki mon pe dir i en pwen zeneral konsernan ki nivo partisyonnman i kapab e pa kapab ganny adrese. Mwen ta di ke pifò trafik nan Medford Square se paske trafik la soti nan 93 epi yo gaye nan tout Medford Square. Sa a se pa yon pwoblèm ke Partition pral rezoud nan yon milyon ane. Se la nou dwe kòmanse angaje leta. Sa a se kote nou bezwen diskite sou chanjman potansyèl nan modèl trafik nan Medford Square. Sa a se tou senpleman pa yon pwoblèm nou kapab rezoud. Konsènan pakin, dekoupaj an zòn gen kèk enpak sou pakin, men nou pa ka, pou egzanp, chanje zòn nan epi fè yon lòt pakin vini dèyè Colleen. Sa a pral depann de faktè tankou finansman leta. Sa a pral depann de desizyon an nan pwosekitè prive a. Nou ka kreye ankourajman an tèm de zonaj pou ankouraje plis bilding uh ki mande konstriksyon pakin adisyonèl, men Men wi, anpil fwa lè nou tande kòmantè sou pwopozisyon sa yo, nou gen tandans tande anpil pwoblèm potansyèl ak kesyon moun ta ka genyen sou Medford Square, kèlkeswa zòn y ap fè rezon. Mwen jis vle klarifye ke dekoupaj an zòn gen enplikasyon sou sa ki ka bati nan lavni. Si devlopè deside adopte li, yo pwobableman pa pral, men li pa pral rezoud tout kalite pwoblèm. Sa a se yon etap kritik nou bezwen pran, men mwen vle klarifye pati sa a.
[Ralph Klein]: 艾丽西亚，我不知道你是否有什么要补充的...我想说的另一件事是，我知道是环岛造成了问题，但我穿过了整个塞勒姆街。 Twa fwa pa jou, kat fwa pa jou. 由于新的 93 旋转，一天中的每时每刻都是可怕的。 Eu sei que a cidade não tem nada a dizer sobre iso。 Peyi a komèt fyasko sa a. Sa a se yon blag absoli. 我们看到一辆警车试图掉头，所有的车辆都试图从桥下走，但没有成功。 他们需要对此进行扩展并以此为起点。 当你在梅德福广场时， 远离环岛并让路给从北侧 93 号出口出来的人。 Sa a se yon bagay vil la ta dwe gen yon di nan. 另一部分是，如果你把公寓楼靠近企业，企业需要定位，他们需要定位。 一个简易的四层停车场，能停多少辆车？ 你们会在那里建造的建筑物中容纳人们吗？ 或者他们会决定搬到那个四层停车场？ 这应该更多是为来广场的人提供的，而不是为住在广场的人提供的停车位。 住在广场的人必须有自己的停车位，不能走到小街上。 当他们在塞勒姆街和法院街建造公寓时，停车位减少到公园街。 Mwayen Oryan an ke yo rekonèt kòm Park Street. 但塞勒姆街的所有企业白天都在那里停车，所以居民没有停车位。 Li pral rive jwenn moun k ap viv nan Ashland ak Oakland ak tout lòt kote si li rive. 您需要着眼于长期结果并了解过去发生的事情。 当他们建造那个公寓、水槽大楼时，他们停了很多车。 我走遍了整个城市，主要是在北侧或格伦代尔地区， 但如果我沿着高街去西梅德福，我就会走过去。 Mwen te dekouvri ke trafik moun te vin trè pè. Tout moun parèt toupatou. Salem Street ak Park Street se terib. 到达罗伯茨初中后，通往 Fellsway 的一路交通堵塞，富尔顿街也被封锁。 我的意思是，停车和交通流量存在很大问题。 E pesonn pa pran swen li. Li terib. Mèsi.
[Matt Leming]: Mèsi, Ralph.
[Alicia Hunt]: Jis mete aksan sou, yon bagay nou konnen se ke moun ki itilize transpò piblik yo ap itilize li siyifikativman mwens depi pandemi an. Plis ak plis moun posede pwòp machin yo epi yo abitye kondwi ak pakin. Se konsa, li pa jis bati nan nouvo bagay. Chak inite nan Pia Apartments gen de espas pakin. Pwoblèm lan se ke pi plis ak plis moun ap chwazi posede pwòp machin yo. Kondwi yon kote olye pou w itilize transpò piblik, mache oswa monte bisiklèt. Mwen konnen anpil moun pa renmen bisiklèt, e mwen konnen anpil moun pa renmen bisiklèt spin. Men, kòm yon moun ki mache ak bisiklèt alantou wonn-bout la, mwen santi mwen yon milyon fwa pi an sekirite pase tout tan. Pitit mwen yo ap pase nan detou sa a depi klas senkyèm ane. Ale nan City Hall soti nan Salem Street. Mwen jis swete ke se te ka a kounye a paske li ta pi an sekirite pou moun ki ap eseye jwenn alantou san yon machin. Plis nou rann lavi pi fasil pou moun ki pa gen machin, se plis moun ap chwazi mache. Anpil moun pa ta kite timoun yo ale la e kounye a, yo santi yo alèz pou fè sa. Se konsa, nou dwe jwenn balans sa a. Ki jan nou jwenn talan? Gen kèk moun ki oblije, mwen renmen di. Gen kèk moun ki oblije sèvi ak machin yo. Yo pa gen okenn chwa. Men, ou vle sipòte bis yo ak moun ki sèvi ak yo, paske chak moun nan otobis la se yon moun mwens ou dwe fè fas ak nan machin nan ak yon machin mwens ki lakòz konjesyon trafik. Mwen jis di nou ap eseye konnen ki jan yo chanje sa. Men, sa a se pa patisyon.
[Ralph Klein]: Bor yo pebbled.
[Alicia Hunt]: Non, bisiklèt yo dwe monte sou blacktop, ki se 12 pye lajè. Sa a se kote bisiklèt la vle di yo dwe. Pave yo la sèlman pou anpeche moun pase ak mache twò vit.
[Ralph Klein]: Jis nan kwen an. Donk yo pa sote sou twotwa a pou yo monte sou pave yo. Yon liy bisiklèt ka sou lòt bò a, pi pre pyeton yo.
[Alicia Hunt]: Se sa. E sa. Pa gen liy bisiklèt sou Rotary Road. Bisiklèt pa ta dwe mete sou platin.
[Ralph Klein]: Rotary ap vini tou byento. Apre yo rive nan Rotary, chemen sik la se byen lajè. Twotwa yo byen lajè.
[Alicia Hunt]: Pa gen liy bisiklèt. Non, padon, pa gen liy bisiklèt nan Salem Street Rotary. Mwen monte bisiklèt mwen la.
[Ralph Klein]: Chak jou mwen kondui la mwen wè yon liy blan. Yo bati yon liy bisiklèt sou Park Street.
[Alicia Hunt]: Sa a se pa yon liy bisiklèt, jis yon zepòl make. Sa a se jis zepòl la, pa chemen bisiklèt la. padon.
