Description
City of Chelsea
A
C
There's
the
projects
down
in
the
street
for
a
lot
of
young
kids.
There
there's
you
know
new
families
that
moved
in
right
around
like
69
clinton
street,
and
you
know
I'm
just
worried
about
the
safety
of
everybody
there
as
well.
There's
also
at
69
clinton
street
north
suffolk
mental
health
is
going
to
be
going
into
that
residence
there
and
I'm
afraid
for
their
safety
as
well
because
of
their
disabilities
of
people
flying
up
and
down
the
street.
C
I
requested
a
couple
of
speed
bumps
there
I
mean
we
don't
have
to
put
permanent
speed
bumps
in
there,
but
maybe
during
you
know
like
in
the
spring
this
time
of
year,
we
can
put
a
couple
of
rubber
speed
bumps
there
and
then
the
winter
time
when
they
start
plowing
the
street.
Maybe
they
can
pull
them
up.
So
there's
no
problem
because,
usually
in
the
winter
time,
it's
not
too
bad,
but
as
we
reach
now
it's
spring
going
into
summer,
I
mean
people
are
flying
up
and
down
that
street
dpw.
C
Fidel
was
actually
gracious
enough
to
put
a
sign
there.
That
tells
people
how
fast
they're
going.
But
people
don't
adhere
to
that.
I
think
the
police
department
put
one
up
a
sign
brought
up
a
while
ago
watching
the
cars
going
up
and
down
the
same
thing.
You
know
it's
just
it's
crazy
and
with
the
traffic
coming
off
eastern
avenue
and
crescent
street
coming
down
the
street
into
clinton,
I
mean
it's
all
jammed
up
there
with
cars
flying
up
and
down
the
street.
C
C
Actually,
I
think
he
just
got
some
bruising
and
maybe
a
broken
leg,
but
you
know
there's
kids
right
after
69
clinton
street,
where
I
had
some
signs
put
up
years
ago
as
well
that
fidel
put
up
you
know
school
kids,
slow
down
children,
but
people
are
still
flying
up
and
down
the
street.
So
I'm
hoping
that
we
could
have
speed
bumps
put
in
there
to
slow
the
traffic
down
to
deteriorate.
You
know
some
of
this
misfortune
that
may
happen.
I
hate
to
see
somebody
get
hurt
there
and
I
think
it's
a
real
safety
issue.
B
All
right,
so
so
thank
you
for
providing
that
public
comment.
So
generally,
when
we're
looking
at
areas
with
high
rates
of
speed,
you
know
we
look
to
see
if
there
are
other
options
to
calm
traffic
and
slow
rates
of
vehicles
traveling,
because
these
safety
issues
have
been
persistent
and
because
signage
and
other
conventional
means
have
been
ineffectual
to
date.
B
I
do
understand,
though,
that
this
has
to
be
balanced
with
the
fire
department
and
public
safety
considerations
and
because
they're
not
here
this
evening,
to
weigh
in
before
rendering
a
final
decision.
I
think
I
would
be
most
comfortable
tabling
this
to
the
next
meeting,
conferring
with
the
fire
department
and
ensuring
that
there
is
consensus
amongst
the
commission
in
order
to
make
the
decision.
D
Yeah
just
to
piggyback
on
alex's
comments.
We
this
commission
receives
requests
for
for
for
speed,
bumps
every
meeting
right
I
mean
so
so
we
we
have
received
a
request
for
for
speed
bumps
on
essex
street,
actually
on
the
agenda
today.
There's
another
request
on
essex
street.
We
received
received
it
on
summit,
we
received
it
on
on
hurt
street
and
and
it's
not
to
say
that
that
that
it's
a
warrant,
it
is
just
the
the.
I
think,
the
this.
This
commission,
as
as
a
whole,
has
to
make
an
approach
right.
D
So
so
the
the
I
think
that
that
you
know
a
a
concerted
conversation
with
with
the
fire
department
in
particular
is
important
because
the
the
you
know
we,
we
have
historically
denied
these
these
requests,
because
the
the
fire
department
is
here
that
says
that
you
know
that
they
won't
allow
them
so
so
I
will
we'll
second
alex's
request
that
we
we
table
this
item
to
the
next
meeting
and
hopefully
have
have.
The
fire
department
render
a
recommendation
on
it.
D
D
C
B
I
did
have
a
preliminary
conversation
with
them
earlier
this
morning
and
ask
them
to
analyze
options
in
addition
to
any
speed
bumps
that
that
might
be
effective,
but
as
fidel
was
indicating
you
know,
I
think
the
consistency
of
the
commission's
approach
is
just
really
important.
You
know
we
want
to
ensure
that
we're
applying
the
same
decision-making
standard
to
all
requests
and
because
the
fire
department
isn't
present
tonight.
You
know
we
can't
use
that
consistent
approach.
E
E
I
am
writing
at
this
time
in
support
of
the
proposed
electric
vehicle
charging
station
on
city
hall
ave
as
a
resident
of
221
shirtless
street
directly
across
from
the
city
hall.
I
know
firsthand
that
available
parking
in
the
downtown
area
is
difficult
to
come
by
during
the
day
and
especially
at
night.
I
am
also
aware
that
an
electric
vehicle
charging
station
will
mean
the
removal
of
two
metered
parking
spaces.
Basically,
a
neighborhood
already
stretched
for
parking
will
be
stretched
even
further.
E
In
spite
of
these
facts,
I
fully
endorse
the
placement
of
an
electric
vehicle
charging
station
on
city
hill
lab.
It
will
help
our
city
from
in
from
an
environmental
perspective
and
will
also
put
us
in
a
good
position,
as
we
see
a
nation,
a
national
decrease
in
the
future
production
of
gasoline-powered
cars.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
convey
my
position
on
this
matter.
B
Excellent,
so
from
our
department's
vantage
point,
we
strongly
support
this
request
and
the
deployment
of
electrical
vehicle
charging
stations
throughout
the
city.
We
do
acknowledge
that
on-street
parking
demands
and
the
needs
of
residents
to
access
metered
parking
is
one
of
the
paramount
priorities
of
the
commission
and
our
department.
A
D
We
have
seen
consistent
usage
right
and
and
to
me
as
an
engineer,
an
advocate
of
clean
energy.
It
it
just
proves
the
fact
that
we
we
need
to
build
the
infrastructure
in
order
to
to
to
let
change
come
to
to
to
our
community.
So
the
this
this
charging
station
will
be
installed
by
by
eversource
and
and
it
will
actually
be
installed
at
no
cost
to
the
city
of
chelsea.
D
C
So
somebody
can
just
park
there
all
day
long
up
to
10
hours.
The
only
thing
I'm
concerned
about
is,
you
know
nothing
against.
You
know
city
employees,
but
you
know,
people
that
don't
have
a
place
to
park
can
go
out
there
and
feed
the
meter
all
day
long
and
stay
there
for
10
hours
when
somebody
that's
doing
business
in
the
city.
That
may
only
be
there
for
an
hour
or
something
like
that
can
pop
in
and
out,
and
we
can
get
more
revenue
constantly
going
in
to
do
business
within
the
city.
C
C
E
C
D
Yeah
that
that's
that's,
that's
a
valid
concern
and
it's
the
reason
why
it's
in
front
of
the
commission,
so
so
the
the
all
the
meters
on
on
broadway,
I
believe,
are
our
ten
hour
meters
and
in
the
meters
on
on
shirtless
are
also
and
city
hall.
Avenue
are,
are
too
I
mean,
and
it
is
for
employees,
of
course,
a
benefit,
but
but
also
for
for
for
people
who
come
you
know
for
for
long
meetings
or
or
visitors.
D
You
know
to
the
building,
and
and
in
theory
we
don't
lose
any
revenue
right,
because
the
the
meters
is
always
fed
and
with
with
the
turnover
we
we
actually
removed
meters
on
on
washington
avenue,
if
you
recall
to
to
a
and
we
converted
them
from
from
from
metered
parking
to
30-minute
parking,
where
you're
required
right
to
to
have
that
that
turnover.
So
those
are
really
the
the
the
spots
you
know
for
residents
who
are
coming
in
and
and
making
a
quick
transaction
right.
D
C
Okay,
yeah,
I
just
didn't
want
to
take-
you
know,
make
me
just
ten
hours
if
it
was
taken
away
from
the
businesses
you
know,
especially
with
especially
with
epidemic
going
on
these
days.
They
need
the
revenue
right
now
and
I
just
figured
if
somebody
was
taking
up
a
space
all
day,
then
somebody's
driving
around
circles.
C
D
A
B
So
this
has
been
an
intersection
that
has
cropped
up
in
in
the
last
couple
of
years.
As
folks
know,
it's
prone
again
to
high
rates
of
speed.
There
are
sight,
distance
issues,
conflicts
and
and
crashes
that
occur
at
the
intersection
because
of
the
the
overall
design
of
the
space.
So
since
we
fielded
this
request,
we've
contacted
our
on-call
transportation
planning
and
consulting
firm,
who
will
be
conducting
an
assessment
of
the
intersection
to
develop
a
recommendation
for
improving
safety.
B
That
recommendation
may
include
the
installation
of
a
blinking
red
light.
It
may
also
include
other
geometric
and
operational
improvements
that
are
within
the
the
city's
available
budget,
so
with
that
said,
it'll
take
them
approximately
one
month
to
develop
their
assessment
and
report
back
to
the
commission.
So
I
would
propose
tabling
this
request
until
we
hear
their
recommendations.
F
A
E
E
B
E
A
All
in
favor
aye
aye,
okay,
communication
march
31st
from
superintendent,
dr
almi,
beta
of
the
chelsea
public
schools,
requesting
the
commission
to
allow
chelsea
public
school
staff
to
park
on
residential
streets
in
the
vicinity
of
the
williams
school
until
the
end
of
the
school
year.
Due
to
the
state's
work
on
the
route,
1
viaduct.
G
Good
evening,
members
of
the
commission,
I'm
monica
lamboy,
the
executive
director
of
administration
and
finance,
and
I'm
here
with
joe
cooney,
the
director
of
buildings
and
grounds
we're
really
happy
to
announce
that
we're
moving
to
reopen
our
schools
and
bring
our
students
back
to
our
schools.
The
sounds
of
children's
voices
are
going
to
be
really
welcomed
in
our
buildings.
G
G
We
are
also
in
the
process
of
striping
the
asphalt
play
area
and
the
basketball
court.
That's
on
site
joe,
can
give
you
a
little
bit
more
information
about
that
effort,
but
we
don't
believe.
That's
going
to
accommodate
all
of
the
vehicles
for
our
staff,
so
we
are
asking
for
whatever
relief
might
be
available
on
the
streets
in
the
vicinity
and
then
we
did
note
the
new
parking
lot.
A
D
Yeah,
you
know
I'll
say
that
I
cannot
imagine
what
what
you've
been
going
through
in
the
last
30
days
with
well
reopening
schools
and
and
getting
buildings
back
ready
for
for
for
children.
After
almost
a
year
of
of
being
being
out,
I
I
know
it's
it
it
it's
a
really
hard
transition
and
I
think
that
that
we
should
help
in
in
any
way
possible,
particularly
since
the
the
construction
of
of
the
viaduct
should
be
wrapping
up
in
june.
D
So
so
by
june,
all
the
the
construction
should
be
done
and
and
all
the
parking
lots
should
be
transferred
over
back
to
the
city,
and
this
is
this
is
something
that
we
did
also
on
on
everett
avenue.
You
know,
while
while
the
the
construction
of
water
and
sewer
was
what's
happening
there,
so
so
I
would
make
a
motion
to
to
to
approve
this.
