From YouTube: Traffic and Parking Commission Meeting of 5-3-22
Description
City of Chelsea
A
B
B
So
if
you're
looking
at
the
plan,
it
would
be
to
the
left
of
the
crosswalk
on
washington
ave
as
you're
turning
on
to
jefferson,
so
those
have
been
eliminated
from
this
plan,
so
this
would
be
conducive
to
fire
truck
turning
movements
and,
with
all
of
that
said,
we're
at
the
point
now
where
we
would
recommend
the
approval
of
the
plan
for
implementation.
This
summer,
okay,.
A
D
B
B
You
could
potentially
include
an
elevated
crosswalk
so
across
washington
at
jefferson.
If
that
crosswalk
were
to
be
elevated,
it
would
offer
that
traffic
calming
feature
and
level
of
pedestrian
protection,
because
this
wasn't
in
the
plan
set
that
we
had
presented
at
the
last
meeting.
We
would
have
to
confer
with
the
fire
department
to
ensure
that
it
doesn't
conflict
with
any
fire
department
operations,
but
we
would
be
happy
to
you
know,
meet
with
them
after
this
meeting.
B
D
The
reason
why
I
didn't
come
to
last
meeting
is
because
I
didn't
get
the
letter
until
after
I'm
like
oh
our
u.s
mail,
but
I
should
have
known,
but
thank
you
yeah.
That
would
be
appreciative
and
then,
and
then,
while
you're
looking
at
traffic,
then
you
can
just
move
up
jefferson
to
that
jefferson,
franklin
intersection
and
then
people
come
zooming
around.
Then
they
go
all
the
way
up.
D
B
So
this
shouldn't
interfere
with
our
implementation
schedule.
Either
we
were
aiming
to
implement
this
sometime
in
july,
once
funding
becomes
available
from
city
council's
capital
improvement
program
and
so
we'll
yeah
I'll
make
a
motion
to
table
this
pending
examination
of
a
proposed
speed
table
in
consultation
with
the
fire
department.
Okay,.
B
The
reason
a
speed
table
at
this
location
would
not
be
feasible
is
because
of
the
the
grade.
So
if
vehicles
descending
down
summit
are
going
too
fast
and
hit
the
speed
table,
they
could
become
airborne
and
potentially
cause
a
public
safety
risk
to
surrounding
you
know,
residents
and
and
property,
and
so
the
engineers
sort
of
recommendations
were
an
approach
of
pavement
markings
signage
and
a
radar
sign
at
this
location
in
other
areas.
B
In
the
district
that
we've
analyzed,
we
are
proposing
two
three-inch
speed
tables
along
warren,
between
summit
ave
and
towards
the
soldier's
home
area.
On
summit,
we've
proposed
a
series
of
painted
mark
painted
markings,
including
center
medians,
narrow
traveling
lanes,
enhanced
signage
and
new
crosswalks
to
enhance
safety
and
and
slow
vehicular
traffic.
So
that's
kind
of
the
general
program,
but
as
as
ronnie's
indicating
a
speed
table
on
that
steep
hill
descending
down
to
to
webster
was
was
not
feasible
because
of
the
public
safety
issues.
B
And
similar
to
the
the
previous
request,
this
would
be
a
plan
that
we
would
envision
implementing
this
summer.
As
soon
as
funding
becomes
available
in
fy23,
we've
developed
a
cost
estimate
and
have
confirmed
that
there
is
adequate
budget
to
institute
the
pavement,
marking
scheme
and
signage
program
on
summit
and
and
warren
this
summer.
F
G
F
G
No
well,
it
is
not
a
driven
fence,
it
is
a
movable
fence,
so
it
will
be
where
the
parking
spaces
are
now
and
that's
to
construct
the
foundations
and
the
sidewalks
that
we'll
be
resetting
swinging
of
materials
so
really
parking
along.
There
would
be
a
risk
in
and
of
itself,
even
if
the,
even
if
the
fence
was
along
the
curb
line.
B
G
G
B
G
Yes,
so
there
will
be
a
detour
signage.
Obviously
before
is
it
chester,
so
chester
is
a
one-way
and
watts
is
a
one-way.
So
that's
why
we
were
thinking
of
directing
traffic
down
bellingham
and
then
there
is
also
the
the
left
turn
before
chester,
and
I
don't
have
the
map
in
front
of
me,
unfortunately,
but
we
will
utilize
detour
signage
and
then
obviously
we
will
have
while,
while
willow
is
being
shut
down
during
the
day,
which
is
just
during
the
construction
day
period,
we
will
be
using
police
details.
B
Great,
I
appreciate
it.
I
think
the
one
recommendation
regarding
the
potential
stationing
of
police
details
will
be.
You
know
when
you're
at
the
intersection
of
willow,
street
and
bellingham
street
signage
is
is
only
as
effective
as
you
know,
it
can
be
so
there
may
be
errant
vehicles
that
travel
inadvertently
down
willow
street
and
come
into
the
project
area
where
willow
street,
between
watts
and
central
is
closed,
watts
is
closed
and
you
may
have
a
concentration
of
vehicles.
You
know
backing
up
attempting
to
maneuver
out
so
there
may
be.
B
B
B
Central
ave,
alternatively,
may
be
able
to
remain
open
with
alternating
traffic
flow.
That's
what
the
traffic
management
plan
calls
for
presently,
however,
on
a
day-to-day
basis,
depending
on
traffic
conditions,
the
police
details
on
site
may
opt
to
temporarily
close
central
ave
during
sensitive
portions
of
the
the
utility
project,
particularly
as
it
relates
to
utilities
that
are
near
the
center
of
the
the
roadway
layout.
F
B
Part
of
it
was
the
the
turning
movement
at
watson
highland,
but
I
think
the
main
the
main
unknown
right
now
is
when
the
water
sewer
drain
is
reconstructed
on
watts.
How
long
will
watts
remain
temporarily
closed
during
the
day?
And
so,
if
it's
closed
because
of
utility
reconstruction,
it
couldn't
act
as
an
alternate
route,
which
makes
it
somewhat
tricky.
B
Yeah,
because
originally
we
were
thinking
about
you
know
whether
you
could
reverse
the
direction
of
watt
street
temporarily,
to
provide
sort
of
passage
to
circumvent
the
project
area
coming
down,
will
up
to
watts
and
then
out
to
highland,
but
because
the
utility
contractor
will
be
in
watts,
for
you
know
at
least
one
construction
season.
It
may
not
be
plausible,
at
least
for
the
the
first
year.
B
B
So
this
request
is
undergoing
an
assessment
by
our
transportation
planning
and
engineering
team.
Currently,
we
should
be
able
to
report
out
on
recommendations
for
speed
tables,
as
well
as
other
traffic
calming
devices
that
could
complement
speed
tables
at
the
next
meeting.
So
I
would
propose
tabling
this
until
the
june
meeting
pending
the
generation
of
this
plan.
F
A
A
A
A
H
H
Quick
over
the
overview
of
the
schedule,
provided
we
receive
approval
of
this
plan
and
we
secure
our
building
permit,
which
is
in
the
works
we
plan
to
mobilize
in
june
of
this
year.
We
have
about
a
month
to
six
weeks
of
abatement
and
demolition,
then
about
three
to
four
months
of
foundation:
construction,
three
to
four
months
of
structural,
steel
and
wood
framing
and
the
balance
of
the
project
will
be
on
the
interior
finishes
and
the
exterior
facade
18
months
in
total.
H
I
have
a
quick
slide
for
each
one
of
these
phases
that
we
can
run
you
through
before.
We
do
so
just
a
reminder:
what
really
drives,
how
we've
organized
this
plan
and
what
drives
our
request
to
utilize,
the
sidewalk
in
the
parking
spaces
on
6th
street,
we're
bounded
by
the
mbta
silver
line
on
the
north
and
residential
butters
plan
east.
So
the
only
way
to
really
service
this
job
with
deliveries,
cranes,
hoisting
and
that
sort
of
stuff
is
from
6th
street.
H
We
investigated
and
determined
it
to
be
infeasible
to
provide
a
tower
crane
for
the
project
because
of
the
high
voltage
eversource
transmission
lines.
There's
115
kva
lines
that
would
prevent
us
from
putting
a
crane
inside
the
building.
So
for
that
reason
we're
seeking
approval
to
utilize
sixth
street.
If
you
can
go
to
the
next
slide
phase,
1
just
to
refresh
everybody
and,
of
course,
my
battery's
dead.
H
The
first
thing
that
we'll
do
is
we're
going
to
close
the
sidewalk
on
the
silver
line,
way
bump
it
out
into
the
silver
line
way,
protect
it
with
barriers
and
we'll
establish
the
site
on
the
other
three
sides
of
the
project:
abate,
the
building,
demolish
the
building
and
prep
the
site
for
the
foundation
work.
This
will
be
about
six
weeks
in
total
in
this
phase.
At
the
completion
of
this
phase,
we
remove
the
barriers
from
the
silver
line
way
because
we're
restricting
bus
flow
there.
H
H
This
is
about
a
three
to
four
month
time
frame
for
this
phase
of
the
project
and
then
the
final
phase.
It's
two
phases
actually,
four
and
five,
but
just
for
the
purpose
of
efficiency.
For
this
presentation
we
combined
them.
I
failed
to
mention
in
on
the
in
the
prior
phase,
we
have
erected
overhead
protection
on
the
sidewalk
on
silver
line
way
when
we're
in
the
concrete
and
foundation
phase
we're
working
at
grade
when
that's
complete
and
we
start
to
go
vertical.
We'll
have
scaffolding
with
overhead
protection
and
lighting
ada
compliant.
H
Oh,
it's
not
coming
up.
I
did
include
a
slide
for
the
truck
routes
going
to
and
from
the
project.
If
you
recall,
we'd
revise
this
plan
from
our
first
proposal
to
incorporate
some
comments
from
dpw
and
the
fire
department
in
terms
of
what
exits
we'll
we're
proposing
to
use
off
of
route
1
and
how
we're
proposing
to
get
back
onto
route
1.,
so
that
was
previously
presented
as
well.
My
apology
is
that
this
slide
isn't
there.
B
B
F
B
B
B
Off
street
okay
right,
but
that
may
be
under
the
control
of
the
housing
authority.
As
I
propose
tabling
this,
we
can
consult
with
the
housing
authority
to
see
if
they
could
install
a
handicap
space
in
the
sort
of
off
street
lot.
That's
situated
near
the
unit.
There
isn't
any
on-street
space
available
adjacent
to
this
unit
due
to
the
the
width
of
the
road,
and
then
we
would
report
back
to
the
commission
at
the
next
meeting.
B
B
B
So
avenue
this
resident
currently
resides
at
203,
winnisometh
street
they're,
a
senior
resident,
that's
reporting
difficulty
crossing
as
well
as
safety
issues
at
this
location
of
broadway
and
everett
and
requesting
assistance
from
the
city.
So
this
intersection
is
a
part
of
the
larger
downtown
broadway
infrastructure
improvement
project.
So
presently
it's
undergoing
design.
