That's a wrap.
Live tweeting for 8 hours like its my damn job.
Ooh, they've got beer! Then I'm off for a haircut.
#ImagineBos

Aha! Final q is how the city can make more quick, "tactical" interventions.
It's the hot thing! #tacticalurbanism #ImagineBos

It almost sounded like Kim was arguing "good designers know better than the community". Maybe I misunderstood. Don't think so #ImagineBos

Fletcher: Going into communities and earning trust is crucial. Old process is broken. Seems to be in conflict with Kim. #ImagineBos

Kim: "Community engagement and creative thinking are not necessarily compatible"
#ImagineBos

Talking abt whether to look @ other cities for inspiration. Lots of Chicago references today.
Methinks: Copenhagen! Amsterdam! #ImagineBos

BRA still controls a few large parcels left over from 1960's urban renewal. #ImagineBos

Golden: "an ecosystem where only a few large firms are designing the city" is problematic #ImagineBos

Pradham: "Our city isn't having the convos abt race & equity. Ppl in n'hoods that have never been to waterfront or Harbor Isl." #ImagineBos

Pollack: "the convo needs to start w vision". Now critiquing the Greenway as a lost opportunity & mentions MassDOT controls it #ImagineBos

Ooh. Aud member talking about green space in Charles River basin. Methinks: get rid of Storrow. #ImagineBos

Julie Burros, Chief of Arts & Culture leading Boston's first ever "cultural plan" #ImagineBos

Dudley Station needs to be improved. #ImagineBos

Here's Syracuse #ImagineBos

"Make ppl feel good about riding on these buses." "Buses are the Rodney Dangerfield of transit" #ImagineBos

SFTMA, Syracuse being talked about. Visual design as part of the identity of the corridor. Stations are iconic, light at night #ImagineBos

A bus system for Boston, BY Boston. Referencing Dash in LA. Buses are $0.50 and run every 10 min. #ImagineBos

Better buses for Boston! #ImagineBos
