A couple of table requests from last month.

Request from Ecuador Family Market at 960 South Main Street for time signs, 15 minute parking, Monday through Sunday, 8 a.m. through 10 p.m. That was tabled.

The party was not in attendance. Is that person here today? Ecuador Market 960 South Main Street.

Motion to dismiss that.

Motion to dismiss.

First by John, second and seconded by Adam.

Request from a resident on Breman Street to discuss parking changes on Breman Street that was tabled. One of the parties was unable to make it. Uh we have the chief here. Um, are we all pretty much all up to speed with the um, it was a 70 foot recommended um, wide birth for emergency vehicles to make that corner. Chief, could you fill us in on anything new on that? Uh, a reduced

amount or Yes, sir. Please. Chief Bacon, Fall River Fire Department.

Thank you. So, um I think there was a miscommunication between um um Director MacArthur and myself about exactly how much space we needed. Um so I think that um if there is a chance to reduce that um I think that uh you know 2530 ft would probably 30 is probably be optimal uh from the corner for us to be able to make the swing with our trucks. Okay.

And I think that would allow for, you know, at least two or three more parking places in front of that uh in front of that house.

Okay. So 30 feet and that's on the north side of Ryman Street.

Yeah. Where where the prohibitive parking already exists.

Um instead of the 70 or 75 ft. I think 30 is 30 is more than enough for us.

Is that was that Fulton Street from Fulton West?

From Fulton West. Yes.

East.

We're starting at Fulton and heading towards uh Somerset, right?

No, no, no. Coming coming the other way.

Okay.

Heading east.

Heading east. Okay.

On the north side. So that that would be so my trucks end up on Lindsay Street to be able to turn right. It we need that uh cleared at that corner. If they're on Breman to turn left onto Lindsay, we need them to be able to make a swing at that corner. So Okay. Okay. Thank you.

Thank you, Chief.

Good.

Oh, I'm sorry. Any questions for the chief at all?

No. Thank you, sir.

Okay. Appreciate Thank you, Mr. Boule. I know that uh was it was it you had um do you have anything that you'd like to add?

Um it wasn't last meeting, it was a meeting before that we had you had come up to speak with us. It's all the same people are in attendance.

Yeah.

Um

you No, I guess if every I think every point I made is still I'm just going over my notes is still pretty much the same.

Y issues.

So I mean there are there are spots on Lindsay Street I've seen on the agenda to rescend other handicap spots. So there are like six handicap spots that added on Lindsay Street. Four of them remain unused and have been unused. So I don't know if resend maybe two of them just add more spots cuz it's 11 spots total between Brightman Street and Lindsay that have been removed from um like within 100 ft of that street

probably.

The only the only thing we have for rescending any spots there is any street. I don't know if those may be coming up.

Yeah, I just saw that is possible basically by reading the agenda. So that was another idea possibly to get two more back.

Yep. [clears throat] Are the signs still up? Are the signs still up there?

Yeah.

And those would be Lindsy Street.

So the the so currently it's 70 ft from the uh corner of Lindsay east on the north side of Breman Street uh to be reduced at the re recommendation of the fire chief 30 feet that same location.

So, if there's a motion for that or any I'll make a motion.

Motion by Bill.

Second.

Seconded by Helen.

So, that'll be reduced to 30 feet. Does that mean from the corner from the stop sign?

So the where the stop sign is um to Lindsay there is a curb cut so no one can park there anyway. Okay.

So it'll be 30 feet from the stop sign.

So 30 feet from the stop sign.

Correct.

Well if no one can park above the stop sign anyways wouldn't that be included in the 30 30 ft that he needs for his truck?

There's a handicap curb ramp in front of the stop sign. Yeah. You can't block that curb ramp.

So that that's an automatic violation anyway.

Right. But wouldn't that be included in the 30t?

It'll be 30 feet from the stop sign because technically no one can park there anyway. It's already a violation.

That's not what I'm concerned about.

What I'm saying is from the corner, regardless of where the stop sign is, 30 ft from the corner would give the chief enough room to bring his truck around.

Mhm.

So why wouldn't that be included in the 30 ft instead of from the stop sign?

Because there's technically already an ordinance for no parking at that area, right? But do you get what I'm trying to say? So it would kind of be contradicting. It would be like two ordinances for the same space. Do you get what I'm trying to say? But but you have the potential to increase that by giving us one more spot if you include that 30t regardless of whether an ordinance covers that handic

handicap uh bridge or whatever. It's still 30 ft. So why would it be 30t from the stop sign?

That's I'd have to double check that in ordinance, but because there's already an ordinance for no parking in that one area, it would be two ordinance overlapping for one parking. Well, it's not technically a space for the footage wise. 25 ft since that footage is already going to be included in the corner.

Chief Bacon, would that be just to uh alleviate one more spot?

Yeah, I would say 30 ft from the corner.

However that works out in your if it's 25 ft from the stop sign, that's fine.

As long as 30 ft from the corner.

So then the ordinance would read 25 ft.

It would go from It would go from the stop sign. So we would do the 25 ft.

You're not going to go 30.

Well, because the not from the corner because the corner is already And there's no handicap.

There is a handicap ramp.

So why would you bring it up to 25? No, she we're reducing it because of the footage depending on the footage of that curb ramp. I can't overlap ordinances. I can't do the same ordinance.

So, okay. So, [clears throat] yeah.

[cough] So, it be reduced from 70 to 25.

70 to 25 ft from the stop sign.

Correct.

Yeah.

So, we're going to strike out what's currently in ordinance and do a new ordinance.

Right.

I'm more concerned with uh interfering with the chief's uh ability to get somewhere. No offense of then one more parking place. You know, if we give uh uh some footage, there's always going to be somebody when inclement weather comes to park can take a chance there.

That neighborhood's so tight with three deckers to inhibit him in any way, shape, or form.

It's not inhibiting him at all.

Certainly is. If somebody parks on that corner, just said 30 ft from the I understand, but I'm saying if somebody takes that 30 ft and goes a little closer to the corner and he can't make it, you know, I don't want Well, then they get a ticket and and he can't get to the fire. Regardless, he said he needs 30 ft from the corner. I heard him by doing I don't think you did

because by doing 25 stop sign still gives him 30 feet.

Yeah. Well, I I just uh I I appreciate the fact you want parking there. I I no doubt it's needed.

Uh it's a congested area, but I mean I don't ever want to inhibit him.

Has made over $6,000 on my street alone since January in citations because those spots continue getting parked in because there is nowhere else to park. I understand.

So that one more spot.

I'm not I'm not I'm not being unsympathetic to but you're saying that he still needs 30 ft. Even doing 25 ft from the stop sign still gives him the 30 ft he needs.

But yet I'm more than aware of what he said and I'm more than aware what I'm saying.

Okay. What I'm what I am adding on is I never want to uh get in the fire department's way or an ambulance's way and trying to get somewhere in L of a 5 foot parking place. I heard what he said. I heard what he said.

Then why then your concern has no My concern is for for public safety.

He just said that he said Can I say something? Can I say something? Can I say something? I understand what he's saying because sometimes cars take advantage and go over even driveways.

People pay park in driveways where they shouldn't be. So I understand you can't get a cop right away to that corner to give that person a ticket or have that car towed. So I understand what but I understand what he's saying and he understands too.

That footage is in front of the stop sign. No one would park there anyways.

You people park in front of fire hydrants. People block the ramps. People do that.

Understanding you. Did you not say from the corner?

Yeah. I heard everything he said. But but do you are you hearing what our concern is? Our concern is for public safety.

Not valid.

Oh public safety and fire safety is not valid.

So So here's here's here's what we're going to That is not what I said. That is not what I said. I That is not what I said.

Excuse me, miss. You said my concern was not valid. It most certainly is valid.

When the fire chief right what you don't get.

Listen.

What I don't get?

Yeah. What you don't I don't think you're not understanding.

No, I understand.

That neighborhood catches fire because he can't get there for 5T.

Your issue is not You don't seem to be listening to anybody.

Can we just Hold on.

Let's wrap Let's wrap this up.

We have a recommendation from the fire chief.

He's had 30 All right, let's just relax.

FT from the stop sign.

Thank you.

Need a motion to strike out the 7 ft uh was it 70 ft?

70. Yeah. Strike out the 70 ft and make it 25 ft from the stop sign.

I just need a motion for that.

If we have an if we have a motion. Right now we have 30.

Right now we have 30.

Supposed to be on 30.

Is it supposed to stop right there? Is it supposed to be 30 ft?

25.

That's not my recommendation. The fire chief is recommending up to 30 ft, which was what we have the motion for. The 30 ft.

If the fire 30 ft, then we go by the fire department.

He is saying 30 feet to the corner, which I'm not having an issue with the the written policy. If it's 30 feet from the stop sign, then that is more than 30 feet from the corner. He said he needs 30t from the corner. So 25 ft from the stop sign should still give him over 30 feet from the corner when So you have to raise your hand if you want to speak, please.

That's all I'm saying. And that additional 5T in the writing does matter because that is one more spot in an already congested area that people are constantly getting fined on a daily basis for parking there.

And they're still going to they're still going to do what they should do.

He is still getting the 30 ft.

And they're still going to do what they should. They're still going to get tickets regardless of what you do.

They're going to park you legally. He is still getting the 30 ft.

That's the concern, right? He's still getting it.

You have something, sir?

Yeah. I'm just This ain't to be my topic. I'm sorry. I'm just I'm just trying to just name address Oliver 210 Robersonson.

So, what you're saying is that the the the the difference is you can't park there anyways. So, so a car can't be it can't park there anyway. So, it doesn't matter. So, what she's saying is is kind of legit in a way.

Well, I Well, here's here's what I think is being said. If someone thinks they got enough room, they're going to put a car there and we're not but just hear me out. No, I got you.

If someone thinks they can shoehorn their car in there, they're going to do it.

That's for sure.

And the issue is is that we're not going to put public safety at risk. I don't care what neighborhood is congested or not.

That's right. If there's a fire, we're going to allow the fire department to get in there or rescue to get in there.

And that's the bottom line.

And he [clears throat] has that by making So he said 25 ft from the stop sign.

But he's saying while the stop sign is from the corner, that's true.

Well, that's that's actually a good question.

30 ft from the corner is all I need regardless of where the stop sign is. The stop sign's 27 ft from the corner. I only need 3 ft beyond it.

Right.

From the corner. No, I No. We're not going to have a car that's 5 ft long.

No, it's not. It's 20 ft long. It might be a moot point. That [clears throat] 5t might not matter anyways, but I do need from the corner. I don't know where the stop sign is, right?

It could be six feet. It could be four feet. I just need 30t from the corner is probably the easiest way to do this because none of us know how far the stop sign is. So to say 25 might end up being worse.

Correct.

Right. So, I would say 30 from the corner is probably from the corner. That's all probably the safest bet if you're going to vote on this.

From the corner. Yes.

If you want to wait, I'll run down there with my tape measure and find out how far 30 ft from the corner. We get a motion on strike out the 70 ft.

We have a motion for 30.

We have a motion for 30.

Okay. And that's good. Pass. Done. And we need the strike out done.

We need to strike out the 70 ft. That's the next thing out. Yeah.

Motion to strike out 70 ft.

Motion to strike out 70 ft.

First by John, second and seconded by Bill.

Okay. Take about 12 weeks.

One way.

No, it's a two-way now. It was a oneway.

Yeah.

Yeah. We removed the barriers quite a while parking issue is moving it from a oneway to a two-way. So during those 12 weeks, um, what's going to happen with the citations?

They're still in ordinance technically.

So it's technically still because it's still an ordinance, it's still enforceable.

So a meter maid came by this week and said specifically that you told them to start hitting places with new signage even though this has been going on. And I specifically asked you if you could please do a temporary hold on the street since this has been.

I can't tell them not to do their job.

ahead of the traffic.

I But I can't tell them if it's a city ordinance, it's a law. I can't tell them, hey, don't only only give out citations to certain people. We can't pick and choose.

I said just temporarily lay off, right? But it is an ordinance. I can't tell them just to lay off a Breman Street. I I can't. But I cannot do that.

I'm sorry. I apologize, but I cannot do that.

You have the discretion.

But I cannot.

You You do. You can.

I cannot do that.

You're choosing not to.

I I cannot do that.

All right. We're going to We're going to move on from here. That's That's it.

Request from the resident of Robersonson Street for no parking on the south side of Pine Street, the veteran center from Robersonson to Seabberry table for further discussion. And at June style of vera right?

Yes.

What's what's what is what is um how does this affect you if I may ask the parking? I'm just curious how it came up because because I I find it it's it's a it's a safety issue be you know because you know you have the like you said you have the store over there and then you have more more traffic on the other side where where the big where the big yacht

is. So there's trucks that go on there for those trucks to be able to turn out of that parking lot to get onto onto Pine. they would need that side to take that turn because if not then they're not getting out of those shots. So I I believe you know in my opinion it's it's technically you know a public safety issue because you know like we just said

you know for a uh a fire or or anybody to go down that street for instance today we had a Coca-Cola truck on that store they were parked on that side and we had a dump the the truck uh the the trash truck come in. So now we have the we have the the Coca-Cola truck and the trash on both sides and now we have cars, you know, pretty much lined up

because they can't go anywhere because there's no way to get around.

So I like I said, you know, and god forbid if there was a fire on that one that one second that that would have been really really bad.

But you have no issue with the vet veteran parking signs, right? That's okay. The veteran parking signs.

Well, that that that's where where the congestion stops, right? Because I think that veteran parking sign is a little further east from that entrance there where those Right. But that's where that's where it starts with the where it would it would start congestion and then it goes into the no parking signs. Right. Right.

And you don't want you want to get rid of the veteran signs too. Right.

Right. Because it's going to affect you know because that's where the congestion starts going into in into P.

I did go down there and take a peek at that. Um there are I don't know if anyone else has but there's there's no parking signs on the south side of Pine Street and then it goes into um veteran parking only.

Um and you want the whole side of that street from Seabberry to Robus and no parking right including disabled veterans or anything right for comfortable use. I believe that that's the best way to do it. one way.

No, he wants to remove the veteran parking and then make it completely no parking from Robersonson to Seabberry.

No parking down that southside completely.

Um, so we would need a strike out on the veteran parking that that gentleman from the veterans.

Did he say when they're going to be getting out of here by the end of the spring?

Yeah, but I think I think it got extended a little bit. Yeah, I'm thinking the summer by the time we're thinking we're probably talking 8 to 10 weeks about and I'm not saying just for the veterans. I'm saying I'm saying in general.

No, I understand. I'm just I don't want I don't want you people thinking that I'm you know picking on the veterans cuz I'm not.

No, my thought was to Oliver is where where do they park? Where do they go?

Like they had extensions.

We don't allow them parking.

So I'm thinking probably they're going to park across the street and walk across the street. Is that correct? Building.

Yeah, they they normally do that.

So and then they have their parking lot as well.

Well, it's it's up to the board if they want to do that. So on the table is uh no parking south side of Pine Street.

See Mary Gloverson.

No parking at all.

So that would be eliminating.

I don't think it's going to work out what's there now.

I don't think it's going to work because of all those uh apartments that just opened up. They're already starting to rent and they're now parking. The Lynen Street is bombarded with cars.

You guys are talking about public safety. You know, you understand public safety.

You're not helping.

But anyway, you're not the fire department. So, I don't know if that's going to go or not. All right. We're discussing Look, here's the thing.

We can't talk over each other.

I get it. But, but we What I'm saying is But just hear me out again. You're doing it again, sir.

Just let me speak. Please. It's frustrating.

We can't talk over each other. make your point and then the board will discuss upon their knowledge and and research on what we have. That's that's the only way we can do these public meetings. We can't talk over each other. Just not going to work.

So [clears throat] you want no parking southside Seabberry to Robersonson completely and now it's up to the board to decide.

But we did ask the chief to come in front of the board to to discuss it and see what his opinion is. But like I said, in my opinion, we're talking about who cares about, you know, about that, you know, about the the street itself being congested, you know, we got to worry about how these these trucks are going to get down that street. And that street is not sustainable for a fire truck to go into

that street if it's I if you have two-sided parking, it's not going to work.

I've I've sent pitches out, you know, to to the board as well about how congested that that that it is.

Mr.

I'm not completely disagreeing with you, but my concern is the veteran parking there. I think is a little Hang on, let me talk, please.

Is a little more east than that area where the driveway is. Now, I understand the concern those trucks coming out and making the birth to either travel east or west, but I I I can tell you that I'm I'm just kind of a little concerned with not allowing veterans to So, you're worried about more of the veterans than you are worried about fire apples and oranges, sir?

Well, like you say, I'm not worried about you the the safety of the fire or you care about the veterans.

You can't say we're worried about a fire. But to to remove veterans, a 95 year old veteran, you walk walk across the street. I mean, the parking been there for some time and it hasn't been an issue.

Now, I haven't has never been an issue. It's whenever that say that one more time.

It has never been an issue.

It's never been an issue.

But until he started, you know, you know, bringing bringing in the loads of of people that came in.

There's many streets in a city where you can go down and suddenly the other way.

There has to be a courtesy. And I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm just saying it's a congested suit, but you know, the fair thing is I'd like to hear from the chief to see what his recommendation is, you know, and what he thinks and hey, if he feels that he can get those cars down there, if he has a Coca-Cola truck on one side and a trash on that side, then I'll be okay with it.

But I'm going to tell you, the last couple of days that I I've been witnessing it, there's no way because God forbid if there's a fire that happens in that one second, you're not going to get, you know, a truck down that street.

So, thank you, Chief.

Chief Bacon still um for a few more years. Uh so, I'm less concerned about pine uh because it's a straight shot, right? My my concern, my trucks really have troubles around corners. I also am of the opinion that even if you put no parking on that entire side, that Coca-Cola truck is still going to park there, right?

Um so, and typically when we have an issue with a two large trucks, if there's a trash truck picking up trash or whatever, people will move. Um there's no way to move.

Uh so I'm I'm less concerned about a straight a straight shot. Um especially if it's the will of the board that once uh the veteran center moves out of there, then it can be addressed.

Exactly.

Um I would say for the uh for the potential inconvenience of us having uh having to lay on the air horn for a minute to get people to move for the time being, I I I would be fine with that because it's a straight shot. If there's a corner involved, then then all bets are off because my trucks will get jammed up in a corner. And once you get

a truck jammed up in a corner, there's a whole parade of trucks behind them that can't make the corner. Um, straight shots are typically not a major concern for me. Uh, I think, um, I think, uh, Director Sutton's, uh, uh, opinion is as valid as mine on this. He's driven trucks as large, if not larger than than trash trucks. So, I think he could shed some light on this, too. But that would

be my opinion on this one.

Thank you, Chief.

Thank you.

Just the corners.

Just the corners.

Very.

Yeah. There's a reason. Sorry. I walk back. There was a reason that the corners were the big concern during the blizzard, right? During the blizzard, we were fine with a single path going down the street because we could fit those trucks through tighter spaces than you'd imagine.

It's the corners that we needed to really that we really needed to focus on that were causing the issue. And that's the same and there are some places in the city that we know that those corners exist that we're going to have a hard time getting around and we try to avoid them, but um straight shots were typically typically not concerned with.

So, thank you.

Thank you. Y thanks for the board.

Is there any motion to remove the parking from the south side of Pine Street, including the veteran signs from Seabberry to Robersonson Street?

I I have a difficult time making that motion now. And I I I feel for you, sir.

I sympathize with you. I know that area.

I've had that area for years when I was a patrolman. And uh again, we try to air on what's best for for that gentleman, his his staff. And when the veterans move out, uh, they're probably going to be happy that they don't have to visit that street.

This is on this board.

Yeah.

You guys are gonna have to live.

I've lived in that area for a long time.

So I understand it stuck. You guys are going to death.

I I think they're moving what at the end of the spring and then we can just have them removed then because they're vets.

No. So negative for John and and I'm sorry just for clarification. Is this just on the veteran parking right now we're voting on?

This is the entire street.

Get rid of Oh, the entire entire street. The entire street or just the veteran sign itself?

Yeah, that that's what I just need to clarify. Are we Yeah. Are we doing because I need a motion for the veteran signs only because those are in ordinance.

So if we're going to Correct.

Correct. So that's that's what we need.

When the veterans move out, they'll be back here again to change it again.

It's It's possible that that could come up again and we'll deal with it when we get to that bridge.

But right now, do we want to remove parking for veteran signs on Pine Street from Seabberry to Robersonson Street?

No. No.

All right. So, it's a motion to deny.

No, John.

No.

No. On Helen.

Okay. So, those will remain. Those will remain and then when they move out we can come back and just have them move.

Now I need a motion on the prohibited parking right to keep them now. That's going to make it to go into ordinance.

So motion to move into ordinance the existing park parking. No parking.

No parking signs out of there.

Excluding the veteran signs from Cabberry. Correct.

To Robersonson Street on Pine. That's the south side opposite the park.

Keep those there or remove them.

Wants to say something.

Motion to remove or motion to keep.

Motion to keep.

Motion to keep. First by Bill and second by Helen. Okay.

So that's an approval motion. Approval for prohibitive veteran sign stay and no parking sign stay.

Okay. And that was so there will be no parking on that side. Correct. There will be no side.

Correct. On the south side, excluding the veteran parking.

The veteran parking will remain.

I I can be okay with that. I thought you meant you were going to do the Okay, my apologies.

And here's the thing. When the when the um when the vet center moves if if you choose uh you know, we can we can revisit that and and get those out of there.

Thank you.

Fair enough.

I want to apologize to on that.

That's all right.

That's okay.

Good luck, sir. But I just, you know, I just there's only going to be like two two or three spots.

There'll be a couple of months and they'll be out of there.

Yeah. Hopefully hopefully spring more than summer.

Yep. That's the idea. Thank you, sir.

Thank you. I appreciate you guys.

All right. Miscellaneous requests from AVP Convenience Store, 1552 South Main Street. All right. Come on up, sir.

You're requesting time signs time time signage 30 minutes parking Monday through Saturday 6:00 a.m. to 1000 p.m.

and Sunday 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. And the placement is on Slade Street due to the bump up.

Well, that was my request.

Place is a one-way street.

Just just come on up. Give Give us your name and and address. And so this is the problem with this one.

Yes.

So this is business and that's the bumpout. So, I was requesting it over there because if we put it over here, it's going to be in front of there. So, go ahead. Sorry, I just can't even add names Akash Patel. Uh, so it's a one-way street on the slate street and my store is right on the corner. And so, the cub the way it's made, it already took one spot away from my store parking

and now like the c people living around, they just park over there. They live the car forever, right? and I lose the uh business because now again in the summer like there's on one Tuesdays I guess you can't park on one side and you can't park I understand you're tight over there so can can I ask one question why 30 minutes I think most signs require even if it's 15 minutes that's fine

that's what I'm saying most of them are 15 minutes you go in there you get your large extra extra extra coffee and a couple of lots and yeah 15 minutes 15 minutes would that work for Yeah.

All right. Perfect.

And you're good with the placement being on Slade Street and not on South Main.

Correct.

Because the concern with it being on South Main Street, it would be in front of because of that bumpout on the corner of South Main and Slade. It would technically be in front of it's it's like an apartment house. So, we would be putting those time signs in front of somebody else's property.

Uh, no. That will be technically so the owner of the property where is where I'm leasing with him. So I already spoke with him. He's good with park putting sign right over there because technically if you're parking in front of the store it's much easier for people if they are parking on the oneway street they have to come around all the way.

Yeah.

So I lose business that way.

I mean few of them will park over there because that's where it would be placed right there.

So where does he want something? Right.

This is this is his entrance right here.

But because of this bump out, this isn't a parking spot.

That's a curb opening to probably a driveway. I think there's a driveway right here.

No, there's not. So, it' have to go over here.

And that's not far, but it's a pretty good walk.

Yeah, this is still the store until it reaches that that that little uh one-story apartment. It's only a one-story apartment building right over there. Right.

I know. I don't like either.

I know it's tough.

Where are we going with this? on Slade or he's requesting it on South Main one spot.

Yeah.

Correct. But it would be in it would be in front of property. Yeah.

So it's going to be up more.

Yeah. You can put right like from my store where in the beginning you can put it right over here.

One one spot there.

There's one spot. Yeah.

Would it only one spot remaining because the curb is too big?

Yeah. It's a bump out.

Wouldn't it benefit you to have two spots or a little longer on this? would like to have that's up to the board. I mean, is this property owner going to if they cut the cur curb? I would like to have that.

They won't do that. I know.

You all see those those pictures there.

It'll be just north of the store.

There's like a little spot there.

There's just not enough room. A 15minute timed parking spot with the hours that I had read off.

What was it again?

Uh, his hours are Monday through Saturday 6:00 a.m. to 10. Sunday 7 a.m.

to 9:00 p.m.

Motion for the 15 minutes.

Motion for the 15minute parking on South Main Street spot.

I'll second it.

All right. First by first by Allen, first by Natalie, I'm sorry, and second by uh Bill. So you get you'll get a um a spot there sir.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Thank you.

Requests for prohibited parking on the north side of Pleasant Street from 13th Street to 14th Street for additional for an additional travel lane.

I have anything for that.

I don't know where you put it. You can have I might I only have one picture.

I yellow is the yellow line is the requested area.

No. Oh, you got it in color. That's awesome.

There you go.

That's the only way I could do it with the color.

Mine's so dark.

Thank you.

All right. So, the yellow line is is where they want to um make prohibited parking to create that lane. If anybody's traveled on that area, it's uh it's it's essentially a two-lane. Anyway, I've had a few crashes over there where someone's cut over and basically their fault is uh it's not a lane, but the idea is to um make a travel lane. um the prohibited parking from 14th to 13th on the north side in

front of the speedway.

Um and then creating a travel lane to turn north on 13th Street.

That's fine.

I think it's a great idea. Honestly, I think there's a few other intersections we could do this with, but um to alleviate some of that drive traffic from Plymouth Avenue through Stafford Square, so I think it's a good idea.

Yep.

Certainly. So, it's going to go from 14th Street down to 13th Street.

Correct. Just that section there.

One block.

Yeah. One block.

I'll make a motion.

All right.

Second.

Motion by John. Second by Natalie.

So, that pass. That's a great idea.

Yeah.

And then you're going to take care of that.

That's an easy one.

Yeah.

Kind of helping over at Bedford.

There's no question about 100%.

S would that be would that go along like would it is there no the lights is up higher. Never mind.

We had some uh handicap table requests a resident of 105 Park Street.

Mhm.

105 Park Street. Okay. The applicant drive has a valid permit has a valid placard of registration provided applicant a tenant. There's a letter from the property management. tenant does not have any access to the driveway. Um the paperwork is in order.

I don't see any issue with this.

I'll make a motion accept.

Motion by John to accept and seconded by Bill.

You're going to be all set with this. Um it'll probably take about 8 to 12 weeks. Some people will go out there, they'll measure, and they'll put those signs up. Um, just a word of caution, it's not your spot. Anyone with a valid handicap plaque, it can park there.

Okay.

Yeah.

I I can't hear you.

Thank you.

Yeah, you're all set. Yep.

Thank you.

Next is 353 Hope Street, a handicap spot.

Oh, that's true. All right. Applicant does drive. Has a valid placard registration provided. Uh she's a tenant letter from the property management not allowing her any access to the driveway there. And again, I looked over this one. I did not see an issue with this.

Motion to approve.

Motion to approve. First by Natalie, second.

Seconded by John.

So, you're all set up, ma'am. Again, 8 to 12. It's not your spot.

Okay.

All right.

I understand. Okay. I just make sure you throw that placket up when you're in there.

Yeah. When um I go to buy a house, I call you to have it removed.

Correct.

Is that correct?

Yep.
