Description
City of Chelsea
A
Okay,
we're
going
to
open
the
city
of
Chelsea
traffic
and
parking
Commission
meeting
all
right.
First,
we're
going
to
do
the
approval
of
the
minutes
from
November
1st
2022
meeting
I'll
make
a
motion
to
approve
them;
okay,
all
in
favor;
a
second
a
second
okay,
all
in
favor,
aye,
okay,
okay,
on
this
number
three,
the
approval
of
the
minutes
from
January
3rd;
that's
actually
going
to
get
moved
to
the
next
agenda.
B
Pertains
to
a
retaining
wall
that
the
property
owner
had
identified
as
being
potentially
problematic,
along
with
operations
and
maintenance
issues
related
to
trash
and
debris
in
the
neighborhood.
So
my
understanding
is
that
DPW
has
inspected.
The
area
has
determined
a
course
of
action,
but
in
essence
the
vehicles
that
are
parking
alongside
the
fence
right
now
are
doing
so
because
there
are
no
sidewalks
along
that
side
of
the
street,
and
my
understanding
is
currently.
The
plan
is
to
eventually
install
sidewalks
on
that
side
of
the
street.
That
would
allow
uniform
pedestrian
travel
along
Fremont.
B
C
C
B
So
this
request
pertains
to
the
addition
of
a
morning,
Rush
Hour
vehicular
Lane.
That
would
operate
where
the
current
parking
is
located
alongside
the
km
property
right
now,
there's
metered
parking
adjacent
to
the
sidewalk
due
to
rush
hour
traffic.
At
times
it's
difficult
for
drivers
to
access
the
Route,
1
on-ramp
going
into
town,
and
so
we
would
propose
adding
a
restricted
lane
here
that
would
only
operate
between
5
a.m
and
10
a.m.
Monday
through
Friday
and
after
you
know,
10
a.m.
A
C
B
B
So
this
was
previously
presented.
The
goal
is
to
make
permanent
the
bus
and
bike
lane
that
operates
downtown
currently
between
face
square
and
Third
Street
Everett
Ave.
Currently
the
bus
lane
operates
to
serve
the
route,
111
Route,
112
and
other
local
bus
routes.
A
study
that
the
city
commission
did
demonstrate
that
it
had
no
adverse
impact
on
traffic.
It
did
improved
safety
in
the
downtown.
So,
as
a
result,
the
administration
is
recommending
that
we
make
this
permanent
as
well
as
integrate
this
into
the
redesign
of
infrastructure
in
the
downtown.
A
Anybody
make
a
motion
make
a
motion
to
approve
it:
okay,
anybody,
second,
a
second
okay,
all
in
favor
all
right:
okay,
communication
of
January
3rd
from
Kate
lent
Fox
on
behalf
of
worldwide
perishables,
requesting
the
approval
of
no
parking
sign
on
the
edge
of
their
Bellingham
street
parking
lot
entrance
for
approximately
15
feet.
Westward.
B
So
this
originated
from
a
industrial
property
owner
that
owns
a
business
at
this
location
due
to
the
on-street
parking.
There
is
a
really
tight
turning
radius
into
the
the
parking
lot,
obviously
they're,
proposing
to
remove
about
roughly
one
one
and
a
half
parking
spaces
that
exist
right
now,
along
that
side
of
the
street,
by
adding
the
snow
parking,
no
parking
side.
C
D
C
Just
grasp
and
then
it
turns
into
their
new
park
alone,
which
is
behind
it's
across
from
their
Builder,
but
it's
behind
the
flower.
It's
behind
the
pot
place
now,
that's
there,
but
you
know
what
I
mean
when
you
come
down
the
bottom
of
that
Hill.
There's
really
no
I,
wouldn't
really
say:
there's
even
a
need
to
to
turn.
First
of
all,
I
don't
see
many
cars
down
there
that
seldom
used.
C
People
park
on
the
bridge
going
towards
Willow
I've,
seen
that
but
other
than
that,
and
even
that's
not
that
busy
but
I've
seen
cars
there.
So
I
don't
know
that
you
necessarily
need
it.
I
would
have
thought
they
wanted
to
talk
about.
The
the
cottage
side
has
more
cars
tied
up
to
their
driveway
than
the
Bellingham
side.
Unless
maybe
that's
what
Kate
meant
and
didn't
I
think
so
unless
we.
D
C
A
C
And
that's
on
the
corner
request
from
that
store.
Initially,
there
was
some.
There
was
like
a
15
minute
parking
that
years
ago,
but
the
homeowner
at
the
time
didn't
like
it
and
cut
the
signs
down
and
put
some
bad
words
on
the
ground
about
our
old
boss.
So,
but
now
since
then,
is
I,
wouldn't
say,
but
there's
plenty
of
room
from
the
from
that
spot
to
the
corner
to
put
a
handicap
sponge.
A
A
B
All
right,
so
this
request
was
submitted
by
a
resident
to
make
Clark
Ave,
which
currently
functions
as
a
two-way
right
now
between
Webster
and
Stockton,
into
a
one-way,
due
to
the
fact
that
this
involves
the
direction
of
the
street
and
traffic
circulation.
We
would
want
to
table
this
in
order
to
examine
the
operation
and
safety
impacts.
Such
a
change
might
have
the
resident
that
petitioned.
