4.30.2020 Traffic Commission

The Fall River Traffic Commission held a special meeting on April 30, 2020, to consider three curb cut applications. Following the reading of the Open Meeting Law notice, the board reviewed an application submitted by Agostino Paiva for 1035 Bay Street. The proposal involved closing four feet of an existing opening in front of 1043 Bay Street and opening an additional seven feet on the north side of the southern driveway, resulting in a total access width of 26 feet 11 inches. The commission determined that the change would not affect on-street parking and approved the request without opposition.

The board then considered a request by Dwight Cook for 26 Hiram Street, seeking to remove 10 feet of curbing to expand an existing 13-foot driveway to a total opening of 23 feet for improved on-site parking and garage access. The board noted that street parking would not be impacted, and the motion to approve passed unanimously.

Lastly, the commission reviewed an application from Jody Benavides for 468 Tucker Street requesting to remove 5.6 feet of curbing to expand an existing 19-foot driveway opening to 24.6 feet. It was noted that John Perry had recommended approval and that the expansion abuts a commercial business without reducing available street parking spaces. The application was approved without objection, and the meeting was subsequently adjourned.
