Lifeguards at tho city pooh are trained in Hodule "c" CPR, which
includel the uso of a pockotmask for vantilation of tho non-breathing

In summary, we foel that the tiored EMS rosponso system in tho city,

Because Ihe Issues rolated 10 tho Near 50uthslde Plnn are complex, we lellll would bo helplul
to summariz,e Ihe decisions mado altho jolnl CounclV Commission meeting on May 21. Our
underslanding 01 your answers to Ihe questions posod In the May 15th memo are as lollows:
I. Tho City should lake a loadorshlp role In Ihe rOdevelopmont 01 the NOM Southslde,
including a financlllllnvestmerlln lho Ironl ond costs 01 a public parking ladlity and 01
stroolscape Improvements.
Construction 01 a parking facility should bo In response 10 domand. Wearo assuming thaI
IIsulnclenl demand ean bo shown or rollably projocled lor tho near Iul\lrell'5 yrs.), pursull
01 a slle and plans lor consltucllon should bo undortaken Immediately. The definition 01
'suIRdenl' In rogard to parking will bo a policy decision 01 tho CIty Council. Funding
. mechanisms other thnnthe typical rovenue bonds supported by Ihe parking system should
bo ovaJuated: theso may Includo a requlremenl 01 leos In 1I0u 01 spacos lor prlvato
dovelopmenl ancVor monthly renl por space por unll 01 devolopmenl,
ProvisIon 01 overhead podestrlan access across Burllnglon 51, should wall and be
reevaluated at such lime as such access appoars warranted. II a podesltlan overpass Is
consldere~ In lI1e luture, occelllo persons wIth dlSabilillOlls a con corn. .
2. Aelall uses olll1e same type as found In tho Conlral Bus/noss Dlslrlclshould bo permllled
In the study area belwoen Burlington and Court Slreets and along Malden IJIne (tho orea
shown In red on the presentation map).
3. On. silo parking requirements should bo elimInated lor all commercllll and offlco uses In
the area bolween Burflngton and Court Stroels and along Malden Lane. Tho slallshould .
look 01 a Plllklng requirement for rosldentlal uses which falls aomowhere bolwoen the
requirements of 1110 CB,IO zone (0 spaCeslunll) and the CB.2 zono lIto 1.5 spacosronll),
Property owners should have Ihe opllon 01 provIding some on. silo parking IIthoy choose,
up to a prOlcnb8!l maximum number 01 spaces.
4. Hlgh'donslty resldenllal developmanl will bo addressed by lhe Planning .\ Zoning

rosldentlal developmonl, as Ills cu"onUy pormllled In tho AM.145 zone, Is nol as
Importanl as assurances thaI any hlgh-donslty residential slructures will have somo

Opcn 'PIC' . Glvon 1110 dllflcultlos 01 a~lring a park slle, a neighborhoOd par1\ should
nol be acllvely pursued. Open spaco should be provided through slleetscape
Improvomonts along podoslrian corridors and with solbacks on Indlvldua' silos. Incenllvos

traCric Crom Durlinoton Stroot Cails to doal vith tho traCric
to tho Courlano bridOO. Is it in tho boot intorost ot all
concornod to build Inrgo bridgos and channol tratric olool/horo?
Ie thoro voro mora cross strooto botvoon Durling ton and Dovory
Colko vould not uso SUlll11it 00 honvily, 1'0 put tho burdon on
tho throo blocks ot Dovory and on Summit Stroot concontratos
hoavy traCtic on smallor stroots. Why not sook to distributo
tho trarric by having tvo-vay traCCic on Govornor and Dodgo?
Tho rosidonts on thooo tvo long blocks vould not havo to go

alloy botvoon Dodgo and Lucno io usod hoavily to movo trarric
