Description
City of Chelsea
A
B
B
C
C
The
intent
of
this
project
is
to
provide
customer
safety,
improve
accessibility
and
provide
ada
compliance
at
all
their
bus
stops
within
within
their
system.
We
have
one
stop
in
the
city
of
chelsea.
We
are
looking
at
right
now,
our
we
are
looking
at
critical
stops
and
high
priority
stops
and
the
location
at
park
street
and
hawthorne
street
is
our
of
utmost
concern
to
us.
C
C
C
So
part
of
the
situation.
That's
that's
the
first
fold
of
it.
The
other
one
is
in
order
to
make
a
bus
stop
fully
compliant.
The
mbta
requires
100
linear
feet
for
the
bus
stop.
What
this
allows
is
for
the
bus
to
pull
out
of
traffic
parallel
to
the
curb
and
get
completely
out
of
the
vehicle's
way.
So
vehicles
can
go
past
the
bus,
the
bus
is
not
blocking
traffic.
C
So
when
you
put
the
race
crosswalk
with
the
transition
back
down
to
grade
as
well
as
the
elongated
bus
stop
markings,
we
are
looking
at
taking
60
linear
feet
of
parking
from
the
city
of
chelsea
in
order
to
bring
this
comp
this
with
these
four
wheelchair
ramps
to
across
park
and
to
across
hawthorne,
bring
them
to
compliance
and
create
an
accessible
bus.
Stop
for
the
city
of
chelsea
the
this.
C
If,
if
this
goes-
and
everyone
is
okay
with
what
we're
proposing
we
have-
the
design
is
at
a
hundred
percent,
we
would
have
run
it
through
this
mbta
one
last
time
we
would
notify
any
abutters.
We
would
do
any
outreach,
any
environmental
permits
that
are
required
and
then
the
work
is
intended
to
be
completed
in
the
by
the
fall
of
2021.
E
So,
thank
you
so
much
for
outlining
the
proposed
concept
for
the
elevated,
crosswalk
and
refurbished
bus.
Stop
our
department,
department
of
housing
and
community
development
is
strongly
in
support
of
this
request
due
to
its
improvements
for
pedestrian
safety,
as
well
as
bus
reliability
in
this
area.
E
As
you
know,
this
intersection
is
a
crash
cluster
with
a
high
concentration
of
accidents,
and
we
see
this
as
an
effective
strategy
to
improve
safety,
reduce
the
number
of
crashes
and
make
the
walking
route
for
the
early
learning
center,
as
well
as
the
bus
stop
far
safer
and
far
more
hospitable
for
pedestrians,
because
this
does
involve
a
loss
of
parking.
Our
standard
practice
has
been
to
move
these
types
of
requests
to
public
hearings.
At
that
point,
abutters
would
be
notified.
C
B
Great
just
to
piggyback
off
what
what
alex
said
is
is
this
is
the
the
intersection
at
the
elc
and
and
in
the
morning
in
particular,
there's
a
lot
of
kid
traffic,
a
a
lot
of
parents
that
are
dropping
off
their
their
children
and
by
raising
the
the
crosswalk.
I
think
it's
going
to
make
for
for
a
safer,
a
cross-section
for
a
for
everyone
involved.
So
public
works
would
also
support
this
project.
B
I
know
we've
we've
spoken
already
to
to
to
our
fire
department
and
police
department
and
and
we're
all
on
board.
You
know
as
long
as
the
the
the
grades
are
done
in
in
a
way
that
that
you
know
don't
impact
emergency
vehicles
which
they
will
be.
We
we
all
support
this
this
initiative,
so
I
I
would
make
a
motion
to
to
move
this
to
a
public
hearing.
A
Second,
okay,
all
in
favor
all
right,
okay,
approve
of
the
minutes
from
the
may
11th
2021
meeting
make
a
motion
to
approve
the
minutes.
A
second
second,
okay,
all
in
favor
aye,
okay,
communication
of
july
14,
2020
from
resident
joseph
perlitonda
requesting
to
look
into
placing
speed
bumps
to
slow
down
traffic
on
clinton
street.
E
So
presently,
you
know,
the
proposed
modifications
include
the
installation
of
pavement
markings,
enhanced
signage
replacement
of
crosswalks
and
the
definition
of
parking
effectively
when
taken
as
a
whole.
These
improvements
would
slow
the
rate
of
vehicles,
traveling
down
clinton
street
increase
visibility
and
improve
safety
for
pedestrians.
E
E
It's
really
simply
replacing
degraded
pavement
markings
and
enhancing
some
of
those
streetscape
features
to
ameliorate
the
safety
issue
that
was
brought
forth
by
the
the
neighborhood.
So
I
would
consider
this
this
issue
addressed
for
the
presently
without
the
need
for
any
further
action
by
the
commission.
E
A
B
Yeah,
so
so
this
is
a
continuation
of
the
item
from
last
week.
Essentially
we
we
are
removing
two
parking
spots
at
the
corner
of
city
hall,
avenue
and
and
broadway.
We
will
be
installing
an
electrical
charging
station
there
for
electrical
vehicles
and
and
which
means
that
those
two
parking
spots
will
only
be
for
electrical
vehicles.
B
What
we
are
requesting
for
the
commission
to
do
is
is
is
to
is
to
make
the
the
the
two
parking
spots
in
front
of
the
911
building
into
into
10
10
hour
meters,
similar
to
the
ones
that
we
are
removing
on
cedar
hall
avenue.
So
we
we
discussed
this
item
last
week,
but
we
wanted
to
to
give
a
butterson
an
opportunity
to
to
to
have
any
comments.
A
F
E
So
this
was
a
second
request
that
we
had
our
transportation
engineer
analyze
and
propose
recommendations
for
presently
the
recommendations
are
undergoing
review.
So
we
will
have
a
firm
set
of
recommendations
by
the
next
traffic
parking
commission
meeting
as
part
of
their
analysis.
They
were
also
looking
at
pavement
markings,
some
sidewalk
replacement
and
other
traffic
calming
measures
for
the
intersection.
E
G
Obviously
it
is
semi-significant
for
carry
square,
but
it,
moreover,
it
does
improve
a
sight
distance
issue
with
some
of
the
crosswalks
in
kerry
square,
as
well
so
from
an
operational
standpoint
from
the
mbca.
It's
a
benefit.
It's
a
benefit
within
sort
of
an
air
quality.
You
know
consideration
for
residents
and
the
the
nearby
business
owners,
and
then
it
is,
you
know,
also
sort
of
a
safety
improvement
in
ancillary
fashion,
so
the
department
of
housing
community
development
supports
it
and
it,
but
it
does
result
in
the
loss
of
two
parking
spaces.
A
E
E
What
this
relocation
does
do,
though,
is
it
pulls
the
buses
away
from
some
of
the
more
heavily
populated
residential
buildings
further
into
the
square,
so
the
bus
operations
won't
be
as
much
of
a
nuisance
and
as
disruptive
as
they
currently
are,
but
with
that
said,
you
know
we
do
understand.
There's
neighborhood
parking,
that's
impacted
by
this,
so
we
want
to
ensure
that
we're
making
the
decision
that's
best
for
the
neighborhood
in
this
case.
A
B
A
E
F
Briefly
on
this,
there
was
there
was
there
currently
is.
I
haven't,
we
haven't
removed
it,
yet
there
is
a
sign
there,
but
the
application
was
in
his
wife's
name
who
has
passed
away
so
in
he
is
a
need
to
like
keep
it
there
so
that
he
resubmitted
his
application
for
the
to
keep
the
sign
there
in
his
name,
because
we,
his
wife,
has
passed.
E
F
F
B
So
I
will
say
that
that
warren
street
is
is
very
dense
right
I
mean-
and
I
know
that
4143
is.
It
is
awakened
lot
that
that
that
we're
going
to
to
develop
at
some
point
as
part
of
alex's
efforts,
and
I
would
say
that
that
if
there's
a
handicap
sign
already
at
40
and
one
already
at
46.,
I
think
it
would
be
hard
to
to
approve
a
second
one
for
the
that
same
home.
E
F
E
D
A
F
F
He
was
been
calling
constantly
he's
still
having
issues
with
parking
for
his
customers,
not
very
happy.
He
wants
to
see
something
else
to
be.
You
know
done
if
any
you
know
anymore
anymore.
Other
recommendations
can
be
done
to
help
him
out.
He
wasn't
able
to
make
it
to
the
meeting
today
because
he
had
other
appointments.
F
I
tried
to
explain
to
him
that
there's
not
really
much
that
we
other
options
that
we
really
could
do,
and
I
also
explained
to
him
that
his
issue,
that
he's
probably
having
is
due
to
the
fact
that
a
lot
of
residents
have
been
parked
there,
because
you
know
the
whole.
Not
a
lot
of
people
are
working
through
the
pandemic,
so
you
have
a
lot
of
people
working
from
home,
but
now
things
are
starting
to
ease
a
little
way.
F
People
going
back
to
work
in
that,
so
his
the
situation
might
change
because
he
didn't
at
the
beginning.
We
weren't
getting
a
lot
of
complaints
from
him.
It's
just
like,
like
I
said
in
the
past
six
to
seven
months,
so
I
think
that
might
be
part
of
the
problem,
I'm
not
sure,
but
obviously
he
couldn't
make
it
today.
B
I
understand
that
we
are
on
a
summer
break
after
this,
but
in
the
meantime,
both
alex-
and
I
will
we'll
speak
with
him
and
and
and
we'll
talk
to
to
chelsea
pd
and
see
if
there's
anything
that
that
we
can
do
that,
doesn't
require
the
approval
of
the
commission.
But
obviously,
if
it's
an
item
that
that
that
requires
the
approval
of
the
commission,
it
will
have
to
wait
until
we
we
pick
up
after
summer
recess.
A
D
Good
evening,
everyone
paul
nowicki
chelsea
resident
director
of
operations,
chelsea
housing
at
30,
54,
lock
street,
just
real
quick
on
the
matter
that
you
just
tabled
alex.
That
is
our
address
at
4446.
So
that's
a
part
of
the
residence,
so
maybe
that
person
that
did
apply
for
that
original,
46
orange.
D
D
You
know
people
making
deliveries.
What
have
you
so
we
saw
a
with
everything,
opening
up
an
issue
with
pulling
out
a
lock
street
and
just
one
to
open
up
when
we
had
a
discussion
with
some
of
the
residents
recently
they
talked
about
it's
just
becoming
a
little
bit
more
difficult
trying
to
pull
out
there.
You
have
the
residents
that
are
coming
from
parkside
commons,
going
to
route
16.
they're
coming
at
a
good
clip.
D
So
as
you're
trying
to
inch
out,
you
know
they're
coming
at
a
at
a
pretty
good
speed
and
then,
during
traffic
time,
those
residents
are
actually
stopped
because
of
the
traffic.
So
sometimes
the
intersection
is
blocked,
but
then,
when
they,
the
ones
that
do
leave
it
open,
when
you
try
to
inch
your
way
out
the
cars
that
are
coming
from
route
16,
the
other
way
they're
coming
at
a
good
40
50
miles
an
hour,
and
it's
it's
just
a
like.
I
said
with
the
amount
of
people
in
that
short
area.
This
was
brought
up.
D
D
You
just
run
straight
that's
a
different
way
and
that
actually
came
about
when
there
was
a
fire
on
webster
ave
and
everything
was
just
stopped
and
everybody
was
trapped
in
there
for
a
good,
four
or
five
hours
that
no
one
could
exit
that
area.
You
know,
but,
but
nothing
came
of
that
so
just
wanted
to
bring
this.
I
promised
the
residents
I'd,
bring
this
up.
D
You
know
to
the
commission
hoping
to
look
at
some
different
scenarios,
and
I
know
that
I
did
throw
a
few
different
scenarios
out
in
an
email
address,
whether
it
be
as
you
mentioned
about
what
you're
doing
on
clinton
street,
whether
it
be
signage,
whether
it
be
you
know,
blinking
lights.
You
know
some
some
different
aspects
of
of
how
to
slow
things
down
making
people
aware.
That's,
that's
that's
about.
E
So,
as
you
are
indicating
it's
a
relatively
complicated
intersection
because
of
webster
ave
and
the
fact
it's
a
it's
a
principal
artery,
we
can
ask
our
transportation
engineers
to
take
a
look
at
it,
develop
some
recommendations,
both
short
term
that
are
cost
effective,
as
well
as
any
longer
term
recommendations
and
then
report
back
at
the
next
traffic
and
parking
commission
meeting.
Since
we
are
coming
on
to
our
summer
recess.
E
B
Yeah
I'll
say
that
that
this
this
challenge
is
not
it's
not
a
unique
call
to
this
intersection
like
on
eastern
ave
and
griffin
way
right.
It's
it's
exactly
the
same
thing
on
on
eastern
avenue
and
in
carroll
street
right.
It's
just
any
time.
It's
a
small
street
a
mixes
to
to
a
large
artery,
it's
a
problem.
So
what
we
have
done
on
those
streets
is,
is
we
hash
out
the
ground
right?
B
I
mean,
and
we
do
a
box
to
to
to
tell
people
not
to
block
traffic
right
I
mean,
and
you
know
I
think
it
helps,
but
but
it's
a
it's
definitely
one
of
those
things
that
that
dbw
can
do.
You
know
with
with
no
approval
from
required,
so
we'll
do
that
in
the
meantime,
we'll
install
also,
you
know
some
speed
science
as
well
to
see
if
that
helps
as
well.
B
E
G
So,
yes,
we
received
a
grant
from
the
community
development
block,
grant
the
department
of
housing
community
development
to
do
the
refurbishment
of
second
street.
So
that's
that
short
stretch
of
second
street
between
broadway
and
winnismith
park
street.
Basically,
today
it
sort
of
bisects
those
two
sort
of
portions
of
chelsea
square,
and
so
our
proposal
is
to
elevate
the
street
up
to
the
grade
of
the
adjacent
curb
lines
of
the
sidewalk
on
2nd
street,
between
broadway
and
winnismith
street,
and
so
in
the
existing
format.
G
Today,
there
are
indeed
four
parking
spots
in
actuality,
given
the
presence
of
two
crosswalks
there
that
traverse
second
street
and
give
a
means
of
crossing
of
the
second
street
from
one
end
of
chelsea
square
to
the
other.
Those
four
parking
spots
are
actually
not
compliant
under
massachusetts
regulations
under
any
sort
of
transportation
engineering
guidelines.
G
E
Great,
thank
you
all
right.
So
as
been
indicated,
this
is
a
one
of
the
two
infrastructure
projects
we'll
be
spearheading
in
partnership
with
commissioner
maltes
and
dpw.
This
coming
fall
by
elevating
that
section
to
second
street
we'll
be
able
to
create
a
chelsea
square,
that's
more
conducive
for
events,
different
forms
of
programming
and
positive
uses.
So
this
is
a
you
know,
request
that
we're
obviously
strongly
supportive
of
and
believe,
it'll
add
some.
You
know
credible
benefits
for
the
residents
of
chelsea,
the
visitors
of
downtown
and
the
surrounding
small
businesses.
E
I'll
finish
off
by
saying
that,
in
the
coming
months,
the
city
will
be
leasing,
approximately
150
parking
spaces
underneath
route
1
from
massdot
within
a
short
walking
distance
of
chelsea
square.
So
the
plan
right
now
is
that
these
parking
areas
will
be
available
for
some
form
of
public
parking
and
the
short
walk
make
them
ideal
for
visitors
of
the
downtown
and
residents
that
are
running
errands
or
going
out
to
eat
at
night.
E
B
I
wanted
to
share
that
this
area
of
second
street
has
become
kind
of
our.
You
know
our
gathering
spot
right.
I
mean
it's
where,
where
we
do
the
the
tree
lighting,
you
know
for
the
holidays,
it's
where
we
do
multiple
events,
so
so
the
idea
is
is
to
to
make
this
area
pop
a
little
more.
You
know,
and
and
and
make
it
more
conducive
for
public
events
right.
B
So
so
I
would
say
that
that
the
the
benefit
to
the
community
you
know,
and
and
and
for
all
of
the
events
that
we're
holding
there's
a
lot
of
restaurants
in
the
area.
There's
there's
a
lot
of
you
know
the
apollonia
theater.
Is
there
we're
we're
really
trying
to
bring
people
down
I've
been
to
this
area?
So
so
I
would
really
recommend
that
we
we
approve
this
request.
A
E
G
All
right,
so
we
are
discussing
again
this
short
stretch
of
second
street
between
broadway
and
winnismith
street.
We
were
approached
the
department
of
housing
community
development,
as
well
as
mimi
granny,
were
approached
by
mass
development
and
one
of
their
architecture,
firms
to
install
a
fixture
within
the
city
of
chelsea,
primarily
in
a
dense
commercial
district,
and
this
sort
of
fixture.
This
sculpture
is
a
seating
element
as
well
as
sort
of
a
shade
structure.
G
G
G
E
Excellent,
thank
you
so
just
to
elaborate
on
what
ben
was
indicating,
so
the
fixture,
which
is
one
part,
seating
area,
one
part
public
art,
sculpture.
One
part
shade
structure
is
really
exceptionally
well
designed
and
will
draw
residents
to
the
downtown,
especially
after
being
cooped
up
with
with
the
pandemic.
So
we
emphatically
support
this
request.
It'll
not
only
enliven
the
downtown,
but
it'll
offer
a
creative
sort
of
recreational
use
for
children,
families,
as
well
as
just
regular
residents
who
are
looking
to
grab
a
bite
to
eat
and
sit
outside
this
summer.
E
B
It
was
really
efficient
and,
and
it
drove
drove
people
up
people
down
to
the
area.
It
was
easy
to
find
it
was.
It
was
definitely
a
good
area
to
to
to
to
use
it
as
a
gathering
point,
so
we're
hoping
this
summer
with,
with
all
the
restaurants
open
up
that
that
it's
it's
it's
yet
another
draw
you
know
to
to
to
chelsea.
You
know:
we've
seen
what
what
what
public
art
can
do
to
to
a
few
streets
like
like
division
street.
B
It
is
beautiful
now
and
two
years
ago,
it
it
wasn't
as
beautiful
right.
We
had
a.
We
had
a
big
poppy
film,
a
a
commercial
on
on
second
street.
You
know
so
so
we're
we're
we're
trying
to
continue
this
effort
of
really
trying
to
improve
the
the
downtown,
and
I
strongly
believe
that
this
this
this
public
art
it
is,
is
only
gonna
keep
this
effort
going.
G
We
could
also
entertain
some
other
options
of
signage
and
the
like,
where
it's
just
sort
of
like
do
not
enter.
But
we
feel
that
the
this
sculpture,
if
you
can
see
from
the
conceptual
renderings,
will
be
quite
significant
and
then
sort
of
you
know,
abutted
by
the
jersey
barriers
and
the
planters
will
be
abundantly
clear
that
you
cannot
just
drive
through
it.
Yeah.
