3.19.2025 Traffic Board

Fall River Government TV Mar 20, 2025 YouTube Report Issue

The Fall River Traffic Board convened on March 19, 2025, addressing several traffic and parking requests. Key discussions included a proposal to make Quickan Street a one-way, which was ultimately denied due to public safety concerns raised by the Fire Chief regarding apparatus access. Instead, the board approved a resident's suggestion to prohibit parking on the north side of County Street, across from Quickan Street, from the convenience store to the corner, to alleviate congestion. This decision was unanimous. Another significant item was a request from the Veterans Association to make Pine Street a one-way to increase parking availability for veterans. After considering the Fire Chief's recommendation for an eastbound flow and a resident's opposition, the board approved making Pine Street a one-way eastbound from Seabberry to Roberson, allowing parking on both sides. This motion passed with a 3-1 vote. The board also approved a modification to parking regulations on Alden Street for Lindo's Cafe, granting an additional 105 feet of parking, which passed unanimously. Several previously tabled items, including requests for Amity Street, Middle Street Tractor Trailer, Annie Market at 1090 Pleasant Street, and a handicap space at 65 Pine Plain Street, were dismissed. Additionally, the board denied a request for no parking on Blossom Road, Yellow Hill Road, and Indian Town Road after a police study found no traffic or safety hazards, passing unanimously. Multiple new handicap parking space requests were reviewed: 150 Hall Street, 1926 Robin, 106 Tuttle Street, and 542 Walnut were approved unanimously. The request for 544 North Underwood and 116 Merchant Street were tabled. Finally, the board unanimously approved rescinding handicap spots on Welli Street, Malbury Street, Handover Street, and Harrison Street.
