18:09:49 From Rebecca Tomasovic - Spanish to Everyone: https://www.bostonplans.org/planning/planning-initiatives/boston-water-sewer-commission-parking-lots 18:16:20 From Angie b to Everyone: Hello everyone, My name is Angie. I am the Director of Operations and Projects for the D7 office. If you have any questions or feedback, please email tania.anderson@boston.gov 18:28:12 From Josh Cohen - Beacon Communities to Everyone: Related and DREAM folks - could you go off-camera while our presenters talk? Many thanks! 18:42:16 From Natalie Deduck to Everyone: 2 minute warning 18:42:39 From Lorraine Payne Wheeler to Everyone: Thanks for the presentations showing so much to offer at this site. Could you provide more detail concerning how many proposals were submitted? Wondering if only 2 met the standards in the RFP. 18:43:29 From Rebecca Tomasovic - Spanish to Everyone: Hi Lorraine - there were only 2 proposals submitted in response to the RFP 18:43:37 From Lorraine Payne Wheeler to Everyone: Thank you 18:50:48 From @Radi8Royal-Raeven Jisele to Everyone: Largest affordable housing developer in the country 👀 18:51:59 From Kyle Robidoux to Everyone: Who owns Related Beal and do they live in Roxbury or Boston? TY 18:54:52 From BJC, Angela Williams-Mitchell to Everyone: Will there be deed restrictions and what will they be? What is BlueHub Capital role in project? 18:56:37 From BJC, Angela Williams-Mitchell to Everyone: The community does not want greater density!!! 18:59:02 From Suzanne jonkheer to Everyone: When do we expect the actual development/ building to kick off? Thanks in advance for your response. 18:59:13 From Eric Herot to Everyone: “Balancing” community aesthetic preferences with building housing is not housing crisis language. 19:01:30 From Eric Herot to Everyone: I do think surrounding whichever kind of green space you build with activations (e.g. retail, events, etc) is super important to heading off concerns about safety etc (which I’m glad you’re thinking about) 19:01:40 From Lorraine Payne Wheeler to Everyone: It’s attractive how Madison Park related to existing brownstones on Thorndike St. highlighted in their presentation. Not sure how Dream Collaborative handled that. 19:01:54 From BJC, Angela Williams-Mitchell to Everyone: Eric, it is more than JUST community aesthetic. Community matters, we live here, we are not passing through. 19:03:10 From Carol Streiff to Everyone: As someone who lives in the community I very much appreciate the heights that both teams have proposed. I have questions re Who will be responsible for upkeep and maintenance of larger green spaces, and can both teams expand on what buffering will be provided between the terrible pollution of Melnea Cass and the developments. 19:03:17 From Eric Herot to Everyone: Angela, community matters a ton, but building heights are at the end of the day just a visual element. These are potential homes we are talking about here. Homes that will not be built. 19:03:46 From Jacob Oppenheim to Everyone: Hi — Thank you all for your proposals. I live right off Harrison ave a few blocks away. I’m concerned, too, by how low density the proposals are. There is more opportunity to build housing next to the South End, which grows more expensive by the day. I am wondering why we cannot build more homes here at the excellent income mix we are seeing. 19:04:26 From Jacob Oppenheim to Everyone: I am concerned a bit about putting parkland directly on Harrison Avenue not protecting it from fumes and noise from the busy street there. Moving it to the interior seems right 19:07:30 From Carol Streiff to Everyone: The problem, Jacob, is that you don’t want to put living quarters next to those same fumes and noise. If I have to choose — park vs. living — I would have to go with park, provided a very strong green buffer is put in place. 19:09:18 From Eric Herot to Everyone: Carol, treating the park as a “buffer” seems like it would make it less likely to be well used 19:10:11 From Jacob Oppenheim to Everyone: Buildings can filter air intake, a park cannot. 19:10:20 From BJC, Angela Williams-Mitchell to Everyone: Thank you London. 19:11:43 From Kyle Robidoux to Everyone: @London-I appreciate your prespective esp re: the density. It is interesting how Northeastern just received approval for a 20+ story down just a few blocks away. 19:12:27 From Eric Herot to Everyone: It is worth noting that most of the blocks that were removed to build the highway housed more people per acre than what we’re seeing here 19:13:05 From Eric Herot to Everyone: (and that was when there were half as many people living in the US!) 19:27:19 From Javier Huerta to Everyone: I'm curious to know more about the plans/programs that will target/market local Roxbury residents for the homeownership program or will this target low income families throughout Boston 19:31:21 From denisha mcdonald to Everyone: Javier, We will have many engagement and outreach opportunities to ensure Roxbury residents are aware of the opportunity and prepared. We need to ensure residents are mortgage ready and will be connecting them to the necessary resources. 19:31:54 From Javier Huerta to Everyone: Thank you for your response 19:41:07 From Rebecca Tomasovic to Everyone: https://www.bostonplans.org/planning/planning-initiatives/boston-water-sewer-commission-parking-lots 19:42:31 From Josh Cohen - Beacon Communities to Everyone: Thanks, all! 19:42:31 From Angie| District 7 Director of Operations and Projects to Everyone: I have to jump off the meeting.
