Yes,
so
I
would
make
a
motion
basically
to
to
just
you
know
where
to
to
to
to
close
this
issue.
Right
I
mean
we're
addressing
it.
We
have.
We
have
a
contractors
that
are
are
working
on
it.
You
know
we
we,
we
will
do
some
improvements
in
this
area,
to
make
a
motion
to
to
to
recognize
the
importance
of
the
issue,
but
but
to
to
acknowledge
that
that
we
are
going
to
make
improvements
to
that
area.
D
So
my
name
is
staff.
It's
like
on
behalf
of
h,
discount
furniture
store
located
in
chelsea,
so
I
hope
you're
all
doing
well.
Thank
you
for
your
all
time
again,
I'm
just
asking
you
for
considering
the
conversion
from
meter
spot
made
a
space
parking
space
to
alarm
zoo,
for
the
reason
that
we
we
had,
you
know
articulate,
and
we
have
open
many
a
minute
time,
multiple
time
to.
Let
you
know
that's,
what's
what's
our
struggles,
I'm
not
good
speaker
so
bear
with
me.
D
I
would
like
to
take
a
chance
again
and
ask
the
team
to
consider
the
urgency
of
having
this
loading
zone
spot
as
a
plane
as
they
play
available
sustaining
the
business
since
our
nature
of
the
business
is
the
higher
level
of
freight.
Intensive
businesses
and
access
to
need
by
commercial
loading
zone
is
must
so
our
wish
we're
hoping
that
this
will
alleviate
double
parking
issue
and
it's
occurring
which
is
occurring
most
mostly
during
the
loading
unloading.
D
So
we
did
some
volunteer
survey
for
the
businesses
surrounding
the
area.
If
they're
going
to
be
impacted
by
this
conversion,
they
all
say
no,
I
had
a
chance
to
meet
six
business
owners
which
they
you
know
they
welcome
the
idea
and
they
like
it
because
they
have
received
shipment
and
phrase
as
well
and
they
had
troubles
since
when
that
hike
the
bus
bike
installed
last
month.
So
again,
I'm
just
urging
you
to
consider
this
as
to
sustain
our
business.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
B
B
You
know
we
do
see
expanding
loading
areas
on
broadway
as
a
key
priority
right
now,
particularly
to
remove
impediments
to
traffic
flow,
to
make
sure
that
nothing
is
hindering
emergency
response
times
and
to
support
local
small
businesses,
particularly
now
in
the
the
wake
of
covet
19..
So
you
know
we're
firmly
in
support
of
this
request.
D
B
C
I'll
just
bring
you
back
to
what
alex
is
saying,
the
the
installation
of
the
bus
lane
you
know,
has
really
changed
the
the
the
aspects
of
broadway
and
and
has
really
emphasized
the
need
to
to
create
more
loading
zones
right.
So
so
I
I
think
I
I'm
an
advocate
for
for
more
loading
zones
on
broadway,
where
we
it's
it.
C
F
So
I'm
here
representing
north
suffolk,
mental
health,
we're
right
across
the
street,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
where
the
loading
zone
will
be
on
the
same
side
as
the
bus
lane.
Yes,
yes
and
you
mentioned
that
it
will
be
accessible
by
others,
because
we
have
numerous
deliveries
and
now
with
the
bus
lane,
the
delivery
trucks
double
park
and
it's
very
inconvenient
for
everyone,
and
we
recognize
that.
So
that's
why
we
sorry
I'm
late.
F
B
E
E
E
E
C
Great,
I
just
wanted
to
add,
on
the
second
point
of
the
request,
the
the
removal
of
of
the
two
parking
spaces
so
that
that
those
two
spots
are
between
crosswalks
and
and
have
been
pointed
out
by
buyer
consultants
and
and
also
by
by
mass
dlt,
as
as
creating
a
sight
distance
hazard
right,
so
that
area
typically
before
the
pandemic
and
it
and
it
will
be
again-
it
is
a
high.
It
is
a
high
traffic
area
for
for
for
children.
C
B
Yeah
I'll
just
I'll
echo
that
you
know,
generally
speaking,
there
aren't
many
many
streets
where
we
have
sight
line
issues
like
we
had
in
that
particular
location,
particularly
because
of
the
the
school
traffic.
So
we
we
are
definitely
sympathetic
to
the
the
need
for
parking
and
and
recognize
that
every
space
is
valuable,
but
in
that
instance,
it's
really
was
weighing.
You
know
safety
over
over
that
convenience.
B
I
think,
on
the
you
know
the
first
part
of
the
request
in
terms
of
designating
30
minute
parking
areas
there
for
clientele
that
seems
relatively
sensible
they're.
Primarily
that
strip
serves
those
first
floor
businesses
during
the
business
hours
during
the
daytime
and
at
night
it
does
serve
as
resident
parking.
So
I
think,
having
something
set
up
there
in
a
convention,
that's
similar
to
what
we've
done
in
other
portions
of
washington
have
other
portions
of
the
downtown
area
where
we
have
a
30-minute
time.
Restricted
zone
for
patrons
would
be
advised
in
that
location.
G
G
It
goes
back
to
again,
as
the
first
part
of
the
request
is
yes
understand
that
maybe
the
parking
cannot
be
given
back
given
the
sight
lines
and
this
need
for
pedestrian
safety,
but
definitely
support
the
request
that
those
spots
in
front
of
those
businesses
be
30
minutes,
as
we
have
in
other
areas
of
the
city
that
have
businesses,
you
have
the
laundromat,
you
have
a
phone
store,
you
have
a
corner
store
that
has
a
difficulty
trying
to
gain
a
tenant
because
of
the
situation
and
you
have
a
convenience
store.
That
is
currently
expanding.
G
They
should
have
sort
of
the
ability
to
have
people
coming
in
and
out
at
times
and
not
take
parking
spots
there
all
day,
long
that
inhibit
the
the
you
know
those
the
sales
and
the
impact
of
the
businesses
there.
So
I
strongly
suggest
and
support
a
board
to
vote
for
30-minute
parking
there
during
normal
business
hours
so
that
we
could
support
that
business
area.
Thank
you.
B
E
B
C
This
this
endeavor,
I
mean
we.
We
all
know
that
this
this
intersection
third
and
broadway,
it's
very
troublesome
right
I
mean,
and
in
many
ways
it's
it's
is
the
most
dangerous
intersection
that
we
have
in
in
in
the
city.
We
have
made
improvements.
We
we
installed
some
bump
outs
in
in
there
over
the
summer
and
and
and
now
the
the
the
bus
lane
has
reduced
the
travel
lane
to
to
to
one
on
broadway.
C
I
think,
though,
that
that
we
we
need
a
little
bit
more
time
to
to
to
to
study
this.
So
my
recommendation
to
to
the
commission
is
is
to
to
continue
this
for
for
the
january
meeting
and
and
allow
us
to
to
look
back
around
with
with
with
chelsea
fire
and
chelsea
pd
and
and
look
at
you
know
what
what
the
layout
would
be
and
and
and
to
come
to
the
board
in
january,
with
an
actual
proposal.
