From YouTube: Traffic and Parking Commission of 4-5-22
Description
City of Chelsea
A
Okay,
we're
going
to
open
the
city
of
chelsea
traffic
and
parking
commission
meeting;
okay
approval
of
the
minutes
from
the
march
1st
2022
meeting;
okay,
anybody;
second:
okay,
all
in
favor,
aye,
okay,
communication
of
november
17th
2021
for
mary
fester,
requesting
a
discussion
on
speeding
vehicles
and
traffic
concerns
at
the
intersection
of
jefferson
and
washington.
Ave.
B
Since
fielding
the
request,
we
conferred
with
our
transportation
consulting
engineer
and
developed
a
traffic
calming
plan
for
this
area
to
enhance
pedestrian
safety.
So
we
distributed
a
copy
of
the
plan
to
the
commission
and
right
now.
We're
proposing
painted
curb
extensions
at
the
corner
of
washington,
avenue
and
jefferson
avenue.
That
painted
curb
extension
is
to
tighten
the
turning
radius
for
vehicles.
Turning
from
washington
ave
onto
jefferson
ave
for
the
purpose
of
slowing
vehicles,
so
they
don't
speed
as
they're
maneuvering
that
turn.
B
Lastly,
we're
proposing
to
re-stripe
the
crosswalk
with
a
higher
visible
thermoplastic
material
that
would
be
conspicuous
and
forewarn
drivers
that
it's
an
area
for
pedestrian
crossing
and
we'll
also
add
painted
curb
extensions
on
washington
avenue
to
provide
a
pedestrian
refuge
for
pedestrians
crossing
washington
avenue
at
that
corner.
So
combined.
You
know
these
improvements
would
improve
visibility
at
this
corner,
while
slowing
vehicular
speeds
and
and
enhance
pedestrian
safety.
So
with
that
said,
this
is
a
draft
plan,
so
we
appreciate
any
comments
or
recommendations.
C
B
These
will
just
be
pavement
markings,
so
it's
just
striping
just
striping
yep.
Okay,
I'm
sorry!
So
I
want
to
correct
that.
So
it's
just
striping
the
area
that
is
delineated
in
the
boulder
red
on
washington,
avenue
yeah
those
would
there
be
flexible
white
bollards
around
the
perimeter
of
that
space.
So
if
a
vehicle
were
to,
you
know,
hit
those
bollards
they're
designed
to
flip
over
automatically
and
they're
small.
You
know
they're
about
an
inch
inch
and
a
half
in
caliber.
B
So
we
have
devised
a
traffic
calming
plan
consisting
of
two
elevated
speed,
humps
placed
on
warren
avenue.
That
would
be
approximately
three
inches
in
height,
combined
with
pavement
markings
to
slow
speeding
vehicles
in
the
neighborhood
on
spend
sorry
on
summit
ave,
as
indicated
in
the
plans
that
are
before
the
commission,
we're
proposing
a
combination
of
pavement,
markings
and
signage
to
channel
traffic.
B
So
all
in
all
you
know,
we've
heard
some
feedback
from
the
neighborhood,
so
we
are
going
to
make
a
couple
of
minor
tweaks
to
these
plans.
But
the
plans
presented
to
you
are
more
or
less
in
their
final
form,
so
our
goal
upon
approval
would
be
to
implement
these
plans
this
summer
with
funding.
That's
proposed
in
the
fy23
capital
improvement
program,
so
the
earliest
anything
would
realistically
be
constructed,
would
be
august
or
september
of
this
summer.
C
B
The
median
striping
as
well,
the
only
raised
elements
are
going
to
be
the
two
speed,
speed
humps
on
warren
avenue
and
those
are
about
three
inches
in
height.
The
median
can
be
either
a
traditional
median
or
it
could
be
a
painted
median
in
the
short
term.
Our
plan
would
be
to
do
a
painted
median,
which
is
more
cost
effective.

A

A
Handicap
sign
application
february
1st
from
mary
welch
at
88
carroll
street.
We
don't
need
a
vote.
Unfortunately,
she
is
no
longer
with
us
number
six
public
hearing
regarding
review
and
approval
of
the
construction
management
plan
related
to
the
demolition
and
ground
up
construction
project
for
the
innis
apartment,
redevelopments.
E
I'm
joined
here
today
with
matt
therian
and
mike
hartnett
from
plum
house
construction
and
brian
zamoka
from
niche
engineering,
and
this
is
a
second
hearing
for
us
on
this
project
from
the
march
1st
hearing
that
we
attended,
and
so
we've
recently
resubmitted.
Based
on
the
comments
that
we
heard
here
of
three
major
concerns.
E
There
was
a
concern
of
the
driving
visibility
coming
down
willow
at
the
corner
of
willow
and
central.
So
we
pulled
back
the
gates.
There
made
them
a
single
door
gate
and
eliminated
the
scrim
to
alleviate
the
visibility
concern,
and
then
we
also
elaborated
on
the
delivery
schedules
along
watts
during
the
course
of
construction,
which
matt
will
elaborate
on
and
show
you
more
clearly
in
this
traffic
mitigation
plan.
So
I'll
give
it
over
to
matt.
F
Okay,
just
to
give
kind
of
a
summary
of
the
project,
this
project's
gonna
be
constructed
in
three
phases
for
a
total
duration
of
35
months,
beginning
in
august
of
22
and
completing
in
june
of
25.
phase.
One
building
c
will
be
constructed
between
the
months
of
1
and
15.
For
a
total
of
14.8
months,
phase,
2
building
b
will
be
constructed
between
months
2
and
24.
For
a
total
of
22
and
a
half
months
phase
3
building
a
will
be
constructed
between
months
4
and
35.
F
Last
time
we
kind
of
had
a
discussion
on
quantity
of
truck
deliveries,
so
I've
kind
of
broken
it
down
between
different
stages
of
each
each
phase
of
construction.
So
during
abatement
and
demolition
stages,
we
plan
on
having
an
average
of
eight
dump
trailer
trucks
a
day
during
site,
work
and
foundation
stages.
F
We
will
see
an
average
of
40
to
50
dump
trucks
and
concrete
mixing
trucks
a
day
on
average,
there's
going
to
be
two
concrete
pours
per
week
for
the
duration
of
the
foundations,
precast
concrete
erection
will
generate
an
average
of
eight
to
ten
flatbed
trucks.
A
day
during
structural
steel,
erection,
we'll
see
an
average
of
five
flatbed
trucks
a
day
for
delivery
of
steel
numbers
during
the
wood
frame,
erection
will
generate
an
average
of
six
flatbed
trucks
per
week
for
the
delivery
of
all
wood
wall
panels.
F
These
trucks
will
consist
of
small
flat
beds
or
box
trucks
to
deliver
the
materials.
Why
lulls
and
boom
trucks
will
be
used
to
load
off
and
loan
materials
into
the
building
during
specific
stages
of
phase
one
and
two
we're
going
to
be
requiring
some
deliveries
to
take
place
within
willow
street,
but
all
other
delivery
trucks
will
be
staged
and
loaded
within
the
site
fence
parameters
and
at
no
time
trucks
will
be
allowed
to
stage
outside
of
the
project
site
and
disrupt
the
vehicle
traffic
along
neighboring
streets.
F
F
F
F
F
Yeah,
you
guys
have
the
print
out
so
we're
on
the
structure,
erection
for
building
c.
The
structure
of
building
c
consists
of
six
stories
of
precast
concrete
and
will
be
erected
in
four
phases
from
north
to
south
from
month.
Eight
to
ten
for
a
total
of
two
and
a
half
months,
each
phase
of
the
precast
erection
will
be
roughly
two
and
a
half
weeks
for
a
total
duration
of
two
and
a
half
months.
F
The
crane
will
be
located
within
the
building
footprint
for
the
erection
of
phases
1.1
through
1.3
and
pick
precast
materials
from
willow
street
for
the
erection
of
phase
1.4.
The
crane
will
be
relocated
across
willow
street
and
positioned
in
a
portion
of
the
building
beef
footprint
and
continue
to
pick
from
willow
street
tractor
trailer
trucks.
Will
travel
east
down
central
ave
and
enter
the
staging
area
through
gate
a1
when
needed
for
erection,
they'll
exit
through
gate,
b1,
pull
forward
onto
central
ave
and
back
into
the
crane
picking
area
along
willow
street.
F
Once
trucks
have
been
picked,
they'll
exit
south
on
willow,
street
and
east
on
central
ave,
it's
assumed
that
there
will
be
an
average
of
eight
to
ten
trucks.
A
day
during
the
erection
phase,
the
portion
of
willow
street
from
the
interac
intersection
of
watt
street
and
central
ave
will
be
closed
to
traffic
during
construction
hours.
Only
with
the
use
of
temporary
traffic,
berries,
signage
and
police
details.
F
The

A2.
B
E
Yes,
so
you
know
we
spoke
briefly
about
this.
You
know
on
how
there
are
concerns
with
with
traffic
being
directed
towards
bellingham
if
we
are
closing
down
willow
street,
and
so
we
are
open
to
suggestions
of
signage
that
we
can
place
or
whatever
you
know,
mitigation
we
can
implement
for
that
particular
concern.
E
As
you
know
that
there
is,
you
know
if
you're,
if
you're
closing
willow
between
central
and
watts,
you
know,
there's
still
only
you
can
go
out
left
onto
cottage,
I
believe,
to
go
towards
eastern
ave,
but
if
you
wanted
to
take
a
right,
the
only
way
to
take
a
right
if
you're
coming
down
willow
is
to
go
down
bellingham
to
go
left
onto
or
just
left
onto
highland,
so
we're
open
to
whatever
signage.
You
know
you
guys
might
suggest.
A
E
So,
on
watts
there
there's
a
net
loss
of
21
spaces
and
then
on
central.
There
is
a
loss
of
29,
but
it
should
be
noted
that
there's
96
households
here
today
that
are
being
relocated.
So,
during
the
time
of
construction,
those
who
lived
at
those
96
households
or
were
visiting
you
know,
family
members
or
friends
at
those
households
and
taking
up
spaces
along
central
or
watts,
will
be
going
to
wherever
they
live
for
that
time
period.
A
A
B
That's
another
dimension
that
we
do
have
to
consider
as
we're
reviewing
these
plans,
but
there
should
be
sufficient
width
on
the
roadway
cross
section
to
accommodate
trucks
and
vehicles
with
the
closure
of
the
sidewalk
bounding.
The
innes
site
I
do
want
to
also
note,
though,
is
when
we're
reconstructing
the
utilities.
B
Our
plan
is
to
maintain
bi-directional
traffic
as
best
as
possible.
There
will
likely
be
instances
where
only
a
single
lane
of
traffic
is
permissible,
so
police
details
on
site
will
exercise.
Judgment
will
request
that
it's
alternating
traffic,
where
one
aisle
of
traffic
waits
and
the
other
opposite
direction,
traverses
the
roadway.
B
B
B
B
I
think
one
comment
that
has
arisen
from
the
last
meeting
from
dpw
and
from
the
housing
and
community
development
department
pertains
to
the
detour
route
and
routing
vehicles
down
towards
cottage
street
and
bellingham
street.
So
you
know
we
can
work
with
you
to
develop
a
signage
scheme
to
direct
vehicles
towards
those
two
streets
as
well
as
down
highland
diverting
as
many
vehicles
down
highland
since
it's
a
signalized
intersection
would
be
would
be
safer,
it's
not
plausible
for
all
vehicles,
but
for
the
ones
that
are
coming
up
bellingham
there
might
be
an
opportunity
there.
B
C
F
C
C
E
I
I
definitely
think
that's
possible
and
something
we
can
look
at.
I
think
the
reason
that
it
was
out
where
it
is
is
so
that
trucks
could
come
into
the
first
gate
and
then
there
could
be
unloading
safely
within
the
confines
of
the
site
for
materials
that
are
delivered
and
then
exit
out
through
the
second
gate.
So
there
was
no
obstruction
to
the
traffic
flow
along
watts
when
there's
deliveries
being
unloaded,
so
that
was
that
was
the
thought
behind.
Why
well.
A
D
C
Right,
but
I
mean
I
understand,
if
you
guys
are
going
to
move
it
at
the
end
of
it
every
day,
then
that
might
be
a
something
that
could
work
and
we're
not
going
to
get
out
an
emergency
and
have
to
move
the
fence
right.
You
know
and
you're
basically
taking
a
street
with
parking
on
one
side
and
turning
into
a
street
parking
on
both
sides,
because
you're
moving
the
fence
out
to
where
the
cars
were
and
you're
putting
cars
on
the
other
side
of
the
street.
C
G
B
It
would
be
plausible
to
to
station
trucks,
especially
for
the
smaller
flatbed
trucks
that
you
were
referencing
along
the
frontage
or
the
setback
of
the
property,
as
opposed
to
on
the
sidewalk,
and
we
understand
that
you
know
there
may
be
times
like
with
the
crane
where
there
may
be.
Some
deviation
from
that.
But
I
agree
with
dpw.
That
seems
like
a
reasonable
modification
that
can
be
made
to
address
the
fire
department's
concerns.
G
F
F
No,
not
for
the
precast
for
building
c
that
will
be
from
7
am
to
3
30
in
the
afternoon.
We'll
have
to
have
it
closed,
but
when
we're
delivering
wall
panels
and
trusses,
which
is
one
to
two
hours,
we'll
be
able
to
have
traffic
flowing
with
police
details
and
we'll
open
up
the
street
right
after
that.
G
F
B
B
Of
course
we're
happy
to
meet
with
you
between
now
and
the
the
next
meeting.
If
that's
helpful
and
then
additionally
for
folks
at
home,
I
do
want
to
state
that
there
will
be
a
community
meeting
held
for
the
city's
utility
and
roadway
reconstruction
project.
We're
aiming
to
hold
that
meeting
in
early
may.
That's
another
opportunity
to
converse
over
traffic
management
issues
around
the
two
projects
and
we'll
be
notifying
all
the
butters
ahead
of
that
meeting,
as
well
as
posting
notice
in
the
city's
website,
social
media
and
the
chelsea
record.
B
A
C
A
Okay,
communication
of
march,
2nd
from
council
of
vega
maldonado,
requesting
the
commission
to
reposition
the
preciously
approved
handicapped
sign
at
40
caramel
street,
due
to
the
sign
being
on
an
electric
pole
and
not
visible.
I
don't
think
we
need
to
take
a
vote
on
that.
That
would
just
be
a
dpw
correct.
B
So
this
is
a
request
that
the
city
fields
annually
from
el
huda
society
for
parking
relief
during
the
holy
month
of
ramadan
historically,
the
city
has
approved
this
request.
The
al-huda
society
have
been
excellent
partners
of
the
city
and
we
value
that
that
partnership.
This
from
you
know
our
perspective,
is
a
reasonable
request
that
would
not
have
an
adverse
impact
on
the
surrounding
neighborhood,
so
our
department
would
recommend
that
this
request
is
approved.
B
A
D
A
I
know
that
they're
going
to
be
sending
a
letter
to
the
counselor
explaining,
but
also
for
my
knowledge
they
don't
have
to
have
a
driver's
license.
They
can
provide
other
forms
of
id
electric
bill
or
utility
bill
passport.
Pretty
much.
You
know
just
a
valid
id,
so
it
doesn't
quite
have
to
be
a
driver's
license.
Isn't
that
correct.
D
B
A
B
All
right,
so
we
received
this
request
for
the
no
parking
sun
opposite
the
site
on
or
not
near
a
telephone
pole.
I
would
suggest
that
we
reach
out
to
the
resident
that
submitted
this
request,
just
to
clarify
what
location,
they're
referencing
and
what
the
the
issue
is.
It
does
seem
like.
There
are
folks
that
are
parking
in
front
of
the
house
reportedly
and
not
being
ticketed.
H
I'm
also
representing
our
client,
the
neighborhood
developers,
steve
laferriere
apologizes.
He
was
scheduled
to
be
here
to
represent
them,
but
had
a
last-minute
unavoidable
conflict.
So
I'm
here
to
present
our
construction
management
plan,
I
have
some
additional
11
by
17
companies.
I
can
offer
to
put
a
zip
drive
to
put
it
on
screen.
That
would
be
easier.
F
H
B
H
Bring
it
a
little
bit
closer,
at
least
okay,
so
the
project
involves
the
demolition
of
the
existing
single-story
building
at
25
6th
street
and
replacement
with
a
new
construction.
Five-Story
apartment
of
62
units
of
affordable
housing.
56
of
those
will
be
rentals,
six
will
be
townhomes,
so
it's
a
combined
ownership
and
rental
project.
H
We're
anticipating
right
now.
A
may
start
date
there's
some
balls
in
there
with
the
mbta
and
permitting,
but
we're
hopeful
that
we
can
resolve
all
that
in
advance
and
begin
the
demolition
in
may.
The
overall
schedule
for
the
project
will
be
approximately
18
months,
so
we'll
be
finishing
before
the
end
of
2023.
H
H
We
have
a
butters
residential
butters
to
the
east
side
here,
and
the
nbca
silver
line
to
the
north
and
the
building
is
designed
essentially
as
a
lot
line
project,
so
the
building
will
will
essentially
fill
the
entire
project
site.
So
it
leaves
us
really
no
option
other
than
to
come
to
you
today
and
request
the
use
of
a
portion
of
6th
street
to
execute
the
construction
of
the
project.
So
our
primary
proposal
here
today
is
to
in,
as
we've
indicated
here
on
this
plan,
to
utilize
between
9
seven
and
eleven
parking
spaces.
H
H
This
represents
the
phase
during
the
in-ground
construction
ground
improvements,
concrete
site
work
when
we
begin
to
go
vertical,
we'll
protect
that
sidewalk
on
the
mbta
silver
line.
With
an
overhead
barrier
with
lights,
I
should
mention.
We
submitted
this
plan
with
our
building
permit
application.
In
december,
we've
received
some
preliminary
feedback
from
various
departments
within
the
city
of
chelsea,
and
we
received
feedback
from
the
mbta.
H
H
So
we
hope
that
from
the
prior
feedback
that
we've
received
from
both
the
mbta
and
the
city,
we've
been
able
to
address
all
the
comments
that
we've
received
to
date,
just
leaving,
hopefully
the
request
to
take
the
the
parking
lane.
I
will
note
from
the
prior
comments
from
the
prior
construction
project.
We
are
only
proposing
to
take
the
existing
parking
lane,
so
the
full
width
of
6th
street
will
be
maintained.
So
I
hope
that
would
address
any
concerns
that
you
have
for
the
latter
equipment.
H
We
do
have
the
ada
compliance
addressed.
I
glanced
over
it
we're
providing
compliant
ramps
here
with
the
crosswalk
and
when
necessary,
on
the
mbta
side,
the
compliant
ramp
here,
as
well
as
at
the
end
of
the
walkway.
Here
I
should
note
we're
also
incorporating
signage
for
sidewalk
closures
and
there's
actually
very
useful
crosswalks
here
already
to
be
utilized.
G
I
I
Brian's
smoking
niche
engineering,
so
what
we're
doing
is-
maybe
I
could
space
speak
from
here
at
the
very
end
of
the
project
right
near
the
intersection,
there's
a
handicap
space
that
will
be
removed
now,
no
understanding
that
kind
of
serves
sixth
street
and
to
the
north.
We
decided
that
it's
probably
best
to
provide
two
handicapped
spaces,
one
at
the
eastern
end
of
the
project
and
one
at
the
very
corner
to
the
north.
G
B
All
right,
so
you
know
this
may
conflict
with
your
timeline.
It
is
customary
for
the
commission
to
move
any
matter
affecting
on-street
parking
to
a
public
hearing,
because
it
affords
us
an
opportunity
to
alert
abutters
and
solicit
public
comment,
so
I
would
propose
that
we
move
this
to
the
may
meeting
and
hold
the
public
hearing
before
making
a
decision.
