Fall River Government TV Mar 17, 2022 YouTube Report Issue

The Fall River Traffic Board convened on March 16, 2022, addressing several parking and traffic-related issues. The meeting began with the approval of the February 16th meeting minutes, which passed unanimously. The board then approved a curb cut application for 452 Oak Grove Avenue, allowing the driveway to be expanded to 26 feet across, also by a unanimous vote. Two tabled handicapped parking requests from the previous meeting were addressed: the application for 162 Tremont Street was denied due to the applicant's second no-show, while an additional handicapped parking space for 138 Blackstone Street was approved. The board also approved new handicapped parking spaces for 74 Fulton Street, 552 North Underwood Street, and 292 Durfee Street, all unanimously. A request for a handicapped spot at 272 June Street was tabled as the applicant was not present. In miscellaneous business, a request for 30-minute timed parking at 1942 South Main Street, for a temporary staffing agency, was unanimously approved for Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM. The board also unanimously approved making Granite Street a one-way street from Purchase to Rock Street, in an easterly direction, and placing a stop sign on Granite Street for eastbound traffic at Rock Street. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to resident concerns regarding Atlantic Boulevard, where the board ultimately approved a motion to implement 'no parking' on the west (water) side of Atlantic Boulevard up to 217 Atlantic Boulevard, and 'no parking between signs' from 217 Atlantic Boulevard south to the emergency entrance. Additionally, a 'boats not allowed' sign will be placed at the emergency entrance to the treatment plant. The meeting concluded with a motion to set additional handicapped parking spots on Eastern Avenue, Harriman Street, Barnaby Street, and Division Street, which also passed unanimously.
