6.17.2026 Traffic Board

Jun 18, 2026 YouTube Report Issue

The Fall River Traffic Board met on June 17, 2026, to review a series of applications for curb cuts, traffic changes, and handicap parking spaces. The board began by approving the minutes from the May 20, 2026 meeting. They then unanimously approved three curb cut applications for Joshua Rodriguez at 840 Rodman Street, Glenn Hathway at 46 Bowen Street, and Timothy Long for 677 Meridian Street, after the engineering department found no issues with any of the requests. Several miscellaneous requests for traffic changes were tabled for further review. These included a request for stop signs at Hope Street and Fountain Street, and Hope Street and Eagle Street; a request to make Field Street a one-way street near Holy Trinity School; and a request to make Oliver Street a one-way street. These items were tabled to allow for studies by the police and fire departments and to notify abutters. The board then addressed handicap parking requests. A previously tabled request for 159 St. Mary Street was approved after receiving necessary documentation. However, requests for 293 Washington Street and 111 June Street were denied because the applicants, who were homeowners, had access to off-street parking via driveways, which is a disqualifying factor under the board's guidelines. The board approved new handicap spaces for residents at 76 Trip Street, 511 Cherry Street, 102 Palmer Street, and 65 Plain Street. Finally, the board approved a motion from the traffic department to rescind eight outdated handicap parking spaces at various locations, including Washington Street, Whipple Street, and Mason Street, because the individuals no longer utilized them. The meeting was then adjourned.
