The Fall River Traffic Board convened on October 19th, 2022, approving the minutes from its September 21st meeting. During citizen input, resident Michael Ferris presented a petition with 714 signatures requesting a four-way stop sign with blinking red solar lights at the intersection of Highland Avenue and Naples Street due to numerous accidents and property damage. Officer Thomas Farris, a board member and police officer, acknowledged the issue and proposed installing 'stop ahead' signs on Maple Street, 'dangerous intersection ahead' signs on Highland Avenue, and red solar-powered stop signs, but did not support a four-way stop sign at this time. The board then approved seven curb cut applications for various properties across the city, ranging from extensions of existing openings to the creation of new ones, with all receiving unanimous approval after review by the engineering department. The board also addressed several handicap parking requests. Two previously tabled requests were decided: a spot at 38 Pittman Street was approved 2-1 despite the applicant having off-street parking, while 54 Kellogg Street was denied 3-0 as no one was present to advocate for it. Of the new handicap parking requests, spots were approved for 80 Oak Grove Avenue (2-1), 45 Campbell Street (3-0), 251 Fountain Street (3-0), 184 Sunset Hill (3-0), and 90 Mulberry Street (3-0). Requests for 107 Danforth Street and 450 Peckham Street were denied 3-0, as both applicants had available off-street parking. Additionally, the board approved a request from Millennium Pizza to revise its parking sign times and duration, and unanimously approved rescinding several handicap parking spaces no longer in use due to residents moving, no longer driving, or passing away.

1:06all right is anybody uh here for citizen input outside of any curb Cuts or uh handicap parking spots sure all right so if you want to come right down whatever order you want to go in and
1:31just kind of going at all unless it's for all the same thing I don't know all right this is just for Citizens nothing to do with handicap spots nothing to do with curb Cuts I want to come down
1:58oh my God sure yes how you doing sir I'm doing well my name is Michael Ferris I live on the corner of Highland in Naples 79 Highland Avenue and I actually submitted um a request for a four-way intersection stop sign we did get that and I sent the package to you so we did I got that also you have all of that okay yeah um originally we had put in a request
2:28um if you follow the documentation in 2018 uh there was a bad accident uh it involved there's quite a few accidents on that intersection it's just confusing uh when you're going on Highland Avenue southbound it's 2A and then abruptly you have to take a right or a left at full speed uh and then it goes to a dead end which is um going northbound and so we've recorded over the years numerous
2:55accidents and we've filed a petition to put in a four-way stop sign there it was rejected in 2019 since then in the packets I've given you I've actually given just documentations of Google Earth intersections that particular intersection I'm also a landscape architecture traffic engineer a civil engineer and we're doing the Route 79 project so I'm pretty well versed in these types of situations
3:28that being said unfortunately uh we had another accident um we had somebody blow through the intersection those individuals had to go to the hospital they crashed through our brand new front porch on Highland Avenue um we had just then it was probably three or four years old um that was substantial damage and then um after it was finished on September 30th exactly the next morning at 7 30
3:57a.m the same thing happened again and so what I've done is provided all the documentation to you and then I just quickly went around just to the neighbors who are in that uh in that block and received 7 14 signatures and just quickly put that together sent into this package so what we're looking for at the end of the day I put in a request for a four-way stop sign to be installed blinking with the
4:27red red solar lights on the Northbound and southbound Highland Avenue area and as I say there's been many accidents on that particular area the second accident the gentleman had to go to the hospital and the person who actually T-boned them was a hit and run and left the song we do have individuals in our neighborhood who have special needs and they've done all they can to to help their situation by putting a wall in
4:59around their property we're in the process of putting in on our property uh concrete anchored um bollards or Planters in front of our house to try to alleviate hitting our house once again but again I think it's just a matter of time before someone seriously gets hurt and uh we want to avoid that again I'm a good citizen of the city of Fall River do a lot of volunteering I just want to make sure
5:27that we avoid any types of lawsuits in the future right and we can do that I think okay the show I I did read um your package that you sent over it's very well prepared I've been a police officer for 25 years in the city thank you um reconstruction certified and I have been so for nine years I respond to numerous Serious injury and fatalities in the city sure I'm one of three people that do that
5:56I'm also in the Traffic Unit and I've been so for about 10 years so I'm very well versed in what goes on on the streets of the city Fall River and uh what the complaints are most streets it's about 464 streets in the city of Fall River and and I can tell you most people want a police officer sitting on their street for speeding and other things there have been studies done on four-way
6:20stop signs and basically what happens with four-way stop signs is uh people motorists actually resent stopping at those stop signs now I can tell you that area or Highland Avenue and Maple Street probably traverses anywhere probably between seven thousand and nine thousand cars a day sure um I did go back and and look up some of the crashes and I don't know if it's uh just an anomaly or whatever
6:45happened on uh the 26th of January of this year uh it was a crash uh it did strike the building speed was not a factor in that crash I did read the reports I prepared them from the board if they can to take a look at them uh but that crash was a result of a stop sign yeah ironically on 10-1 also this year there was a crash uh speed was not a factor again
7:10I'll give you a guess on what the fact it was it was a stop sign so it's that Maple Street stop sign that we have the problem with yeah I don't uh disagree with what you're saying if you uh I'll just finish just okay sure sorry there was one crash in 2019 one crash in 2018 one crash in 2017 one crash in 2016 in one crash 2015 and also in 2014
7:33that's one a year that's incredible for a street that has such a high volume of traffic I'm not disregarding the property being damaged um all of those collisions to last from 14 to 19 are all minor damage somewhere actually no report or an exchange of information a couple of suggestions that we can do with that street Maple Street we turn Maple Street from Highland Avenue one way headed east
7:58that way nobody pulls all out onto Highland Avenue that seems to be our problem uh as far as as far as a stop sign I am not a proponent of a four-way stop some places yeah just not there I would recommend to the board that maybe we put one of those flashing stop signs as you suggested on Maple Street or maybe a warning stop sign before the actual stop sign just to get the operator's attention
8:27it is so we're getting a good amount of an order for the um red LED solar powered stop signs so I already have that on my board to put one on each side as well as the stop ahead we can also put on Highland Avenue um just before the intersection that it is a dangerous intersection to please slow down it's not going to say please but I wish it could but so we could have
8:55those signs as well um and then you know the flashing um you know light on maybe on Highland Avenue um if we can find a spare one yeah one of the things that we noticed because I we worked from home both my wife and I the when you come to Maple and you go you need to take either a right or go straight um you've got the existing shrubs that are on the private property you've got
9:18the existing sign there and then you also have the bus stop I literally just pulled out right now and I was I was driving so didn't take a picture but you have the bus stop there and then you have people walking in front crossing over and people just flying by because it they don't have to stop there one of the things that I've asked is once that when that particular case with the two
9:41individuals that hit our house they just assumed that they had a stop sign every we have the two do not enter signs there which works for the most part people are reduced going to that one way significantly but the problem is is that you have people just flying up on Highland Avenue basically you start two blocks down and it's just a free-for-all all the way up the next intersection that you actually
10:07have to stop is a light at Robison and on on High Street or actually New Boston Road and so and again you even we even notice and we're again proponents of the police and the fire departments EMTs everything else they stopped before yeah no no I again uh you know I don't want to uh I'm not carefree and just throwing stop signs everywhere I agree with you um in certain particular situations they
10:35need to be in place and sometimes they don't um again uh what we're trying to avoid is when people are going Southbound it's either taking a shop left or I mean they're going full speed it's not even a matter of just slowing down and I just happened to take some photos on Google Earth and you can see the car taking a left going on maple cutting right across and then and then one that's taking a
10:58right uh onto Maples yeah they're always on the other side and so a lot of times that we've noticed and I agree with what you're saying about the police reports a lot of them are just small minor hits and they don't even call the police like in this particular case this individual all around the city sure yeah all 5 000 of them a year in Fall River yeah and I
11:19I agree with you what you're saying I I just want to make sure that you know this is being addressed or we're going to do something about it because last thing I need again as a citizen and a business owner in this city I don't want my taxes going up because of old frivolent lawsuit something that could be you know handled with a simple sign or something of that nature so
11:39um but that's kind of what we're where we're at yeah we've documented this um again this is the second time we've submitted this so I just want to make sure maybe we can address it with with the LED yep I mean this week I can do the stop ahead okay on Maple because that's where the stop sign so I can do that already this week on Highland Avenue I'll order these signs that say dangerous intersection
12:03ahead we can install that on each side and then like I said as soon as I get the red solar powered stop signs we will definitely put it there okay so that's the start let's take it from there and see yeah I apologize you're gonna make it the other way no just leave it I would send it one way with
12:35um the idea of yeah I mean Highland Avenue is a is a right of way any Colin Highland Avenue has the right of way any other Street flowing into it must stop in indefinitely until it's clear no and the issue here we have is is the drivers are just not stopping they're not stopping at stop signs I mean let's put up more stop signs and hope they stop again I mean they're not following one
12:58stop sign they're not going to follow another one so I I asked you I asked a gentleman who got hit who got T-boned and he was taking the right hand turn that was the first accident and he when he went to the stop sign I asked him I said you know what happened here and the the Elder is that the one that hit the porch both of them hit the ports right
13:15so that's still one of them yeah yeah both of them one of them somebody was charged with uh I think uh no insurance uh they were there were a couple of things it's a logistical nightmare I'll just tell you that because we had finished it one day literally on a Friday and the next thing the next morning 7 30 again there's not a lot of traffic there and there's no cars really
13:35parked on the road uh along Highland near the park you know my concern is that we have a park there we have tons of kids and families with strollers and dogs that are walking there and it's just a matter of time and as I said when I just came over here I was backing up and I noticed the bus there and someone getting out and walking in front of the
13:55bus to the crosswalk and a car flying by and that's what I'm trying to avoid and and the the thing that I was trying to articulate was the gentleman who went to Maple Road that and he was taking a right-hand turn onto Highland and got hit just assumed because of all the signs that were there they said do not enter and they see the bus stop and everything else that he thought that
14:16they had a stop sign so he pulled out and again things were not as they appeared they weren't yeah exactly and so again and it's kind of the same way when you're going Southbound it's it's a matter of I'm going 30 miles an hour I'm supposed to do what I'm doing and all of a sudden I've got this two signs that are saying do not do not enter and it's
14:33a hard turn left a hard turn right and there's a lot of times that it people it'll be just a small fender bender but right you know so we're just trying to make so maybe we start with those things and if and if if we have a persistent issue up there maybe the answer is make Maple Street from Highland Avenue one way and that will take away that turn and that's what the ambulance travels too up
14:56that way yeah so you have to have a stop sign that's gone yeah yeah that seems to be where the issue was at the meet the issue according to the data that we have anyway um and I just spent some time to look at it sure to look into your issue I feel for your part yeah but it's like Maple Street it's it's that stop sign so if maybe if it persists
15:17we make it a one-way East and that should hopefully end it and I think we're 25 up there maybe I can get up there and run some run some lidar up there and yeah I I tried finding where I didn't find a speed limit I literally and I even did the oh it's probably my future anyway if there's no speed limit sign it's Prima fascia so every driver who is sure received training receive
15:38that booklet should know yeah exactly what the speed limit is we'll make sure that there's some speed limits around that area as well yeah as I said I'm not looking just at my own personal absolutely uh property but I'm looking at the benefit of the city and I just want to keep us from Getting Sued did a good job repairing that house looks beautiful one step forward two steps back it seems

24:06so we had a couple of tabled items from last meeting uh it was
24:18we had Kellogg Street and Pittman Street anybody from Kellogg Pittman okay
24:41the applicant is a homeowner with Wall Street parking available is no specialty here listed here the past practice of the board has been to deny homeowners who have off-shree parking so I'm here on her behalf yes ma'am I did go buy the property I did take a look at it it has all free parking available and again past practice of the board has been to deny that so where her driveway
25:18is it's it's difficult to get into so I have a two-part request and the other issue is if you look at her house the stairs go down to the front sidewalk so she um is asking for a handicap spot in front of her house she has two tenants she would give her driveway to one of the tenants so it would really just be a switch as to um someone would still use the driveway it
25:47would just be one of the tenants and for her to get out of her vehicle and go straight up the stairs in front of her house would be easier she'd rather pop on the street than in a room she would because she'll have better access to the stairs if she gets in her driveway her driveway she tried to buy some property for the Neighbors the right so she could make her driveway
26:06wider is very narrow so for her to get out um with her physical issue and around the door and then to the front and up the stairs is more difficult the other issue is um and I did take some pictures last time I was there a car that Parks right up to her driveway there's a pole and there's a car that street you know tight that street is I noticed across the street that house has two
26:37handicapped spots on either side of that driveway but they have some maybe it's yellow lines that stops them from going stops anyone anyone else from parking too close to the driveway so they can get in right I if how does how could that be done at at this property painting lines yes because what happens is the car is so close to our driveway I don't I don't think that the shitty
27:01paints any lines for uh for people to park I mean I think they do down there you know what I'm sorry it was like orange on the curve maybe you paint like a one foot yeah you know buffer if you will yeah to allow courtesy for people to get in and out of their driveways if it's tight I mean that's just what you know 40 years and I always tell individuals that say
27:27well I'm going to do that to my curb I said you can but if someone Parks over that there's nothing I can do because that's not legal so even though they paint the corners of their driveway if a car Parks right up to the curb and they're over that paint they call us but there's nothing we can do because we don't have anything in ordinance that says you have to be two feet away from a
27:48driveway or nothing okay because she has an awfully hard time even getting into her driveway because people park right up to the right it's so tight there yeah one of the things that she told me is when she gets out of the car she has to walk to the back stairs and this would be much easier for her because of her legs um just you know crossing the sidewalk going up the stairs and going right inside
28:14that's what she's finding very difficult is with her um she has two sets of stairs so it'd be easier for her to go in the front we've never done this before so this is new I don't remember ever this would make it much easier for her yes because where the stairs are to her house they go right down to the sidewalk yeah I mean again you're absolutely right a broken
28:41vote on it we've had some special uh like someone had a wheelchair where they couldn't get the wheelchair out of the car for her to get in there but I'm serious yeah but I'm saying you know if there's you unique yeah hot bleeds for people that have problems like this they can vote show a motion to approve 38 Pittman Street for handicapped signs no she don't approve but it's like she said she's not going
29:10to use the driveway she can't driveway you can't have your cake and eat it too give it to a driveway motion to improve to the tenant sorry yeah so today's today's the 19th that motion carries thank you very much all we have to do yes then roll call for that please thank you yes Natalie mellow yes very good thank you 54 Kellogg Street I think this was tabled right yes these
29:56are the only two that were tables it was a table at the last one anybody from uh 54 Kellogg Street motion tonight 54 Kellogg Street second seconded by Kelly amrigo okay we'll call Helen Rigo yes Natalie Mello yes and officer Ferris do you want to give you a little spiel uh for handicap Hocking shines in spots if it is approved it is not designated just for you anyone can park there at any time as
30:49long as they have a placket if they don't have a placket then they would be in violation but if they have a placket they can park there anytime they want so if you have a neighbor who has placard they can park in that spot all right it usually happens around stores or Sometimes some of the restaurants or whatnot somebody will lock down we have someone who calls up and says hey they parked in my spot it's
31:11not your spot it's a spot for the people okay and then once the application is heard here and it is approved it then everything goes to city council you're going to see the maintenance crew go out and mark the spots as close as possible to an entrance that everyone that you'll use those measurements go into city council it's a it's heard at the first city council meeting referred to ordinance once it's approved in
31:39ordinance what they do is do what's called an emergency preamp so you heard at the next council meeting and then that's done the polls go up okay we have a request for 80 Oak Grove Avenue the applicant does Drive see one app one application for two individuals who lived with the residence both applicants have valid package valid registrations a driveway and a garage is available the applicant is the homeowner with uh

32:40sister spent more disabled yeah I wear a Grace and so most of the time we do park in front of the back door I went by your property I took a look as I said it's been the practice of the board a property available to park on or not to create a or take away a space from the um from the neighborhood the board wants to hear anymore they can certainly ask them all questions
33:14before we put this to a vote the signs you watch uh two spaces two spaces no they only get one one space big question for two people one space for two people yeah the residence is at 80 Oak Grove Avenue there is a driveway and garage available at the residence that is correct that is correct not attached to the home the garage is unattached to the home however it the garage does belong to the
