The Fall River Traffic Board convened on May 15, 2023. The meeting began with a discussion regarding a past Open Meeting Law violation from January's meeting, which has since been rectified with the addition of more board members. Following a roll call and approval of the previous meeting's minutes, the board addressed a series of applications. Key actions included the unanimous approval of a curb cut application for Jeremy Corvo at 146 Elizabeth Street. The board then reviewed several tabled handicap parking requests from the last meeting, denying applications from Leo Gendro (245 Anthony Street), Lynn Lewis (435 Linden Street), Rosalie Rodricks (76 Church Street), and Shirley Kozenowski (370 Tecumseh Street), primarily due to applicants not being present or having access to private parking. New handicap parking requests were also considered, with Maria Correa (341 Oxford Street South) and Tammy L-Trip receiving approval with the stipulation that their driver's licenses be updated to reflect their current addresses. Leonard Dyess (Holden Street) and Oscar (Grove Street) also had their handicap parking requests approved, while an application from Evalise (694 King Philip Street) was tabled. The board concluded by unanimously voting to rescind handicap parking spots on Lewis Street, Bradford Ave, Division Street, Globe Street, Second Street, Alden Street, and Buffington Street.
