Description
City of Chelsea
A
B
Oh
okay,
sorry,
I
was
apologizing
for
wasting
your
time
at
the
meeting
last
week.
This
is
the
third
time
I've
been
here
and
I
know
there
was
a
gentleman
that
said
he
was
going
to
have
some
research
done
in
engineering
research
done
on
that
intersect
or
that
section
washington,
jefferson
area.
I
haven't
seen
any,
but
I
just
wanted
to
know
the
update
on
that.
B
C
Be
so
we
actually
just
finished
a
meeting
earlier
in
the
week
with
our
engineering
consultant.
So
since
the
request
originated,
our
engineering
consultant
performed
an
analysis
of
the
the
existing
location,
a
site
visit
they've
developed
a
set
of
recommendations
that
they've
put
forward
to
the
city.
Some
of
them
are
short-term
actionable
recommendations,
whereas
others
are
longer
term
that
will
require
some
significant
funding.
So
right
now
we're
looking
to
piece
together
funding
sources
and
come
back
with
the
concrete
timeline
and
plan.
B
B
A
A
C
A
A
Know
what
I'm
doing
all
right?
The
next
one
agenda
is
public
hearing.
We
got
in
the
east
scenario,
griffin
way,
improvements
proposal
to
install
accurate
traffic
signals
and
improve
operations
and
safety
at
the
intersection
to
extend
kerbin
and
sidewalks
from
eastern
avenue
and
around
the
intersection
corners
of
griffin
way
and
to
make
the
crosswalks
and
sidewalks
ada
compliant.
I
I
I
I
I
I
Yeah,
just
to
sum
during
the
construction
of
the
project,
traffic
would
be
maintained
on
eastern
way.
Construction
would
be
limited
to
off-peak
hours
so
that
it
doesn't
get
tied
up
during
the
morning
and
evening
peak
hours.
Any
traffic
control
that
is
set
up
to
manage
construction
would
be
taken
down
every
day.
There
would
be
no
long-term
setups
and
all
lanes
would
be
open
when
there's
no
construction
active
construction,
so
that
would
be
the
traffic
management
during
construction.
I
F
C
So,
during
the
last
meeting
we
had
requested
revisions
to
the
location
of
the
pedestrian
signal
base
and
pole,
as
well
as
the
push
button
locations
to
ensure
ada
compliance.
It's
really
imperative
that
residents
of
all
abilities
can
use
the
intersection
comfortably
and
and
safely
so.
Can
you
just
please
confirm
that
you've
adjusted
the
plans
to
reflect
those
changes
that
were
requested?
I
I
C
J
Jeff
mclaughlin
mwra,
I
admit,
with
the
abutters,
both
td
and
over
the
yankee
met
with
them,
provided
the
plans
to
them.
They
didn't
really
have
any
questions
and
across
the
way
as
well.
So
I
think
you
know
I
left
them
with
the
plans
and
they
never
never
called
me
or
anything
like
that.
So
I
think
we're
pretty
good
with
the
buyers.
Okay,.
A
A
A
E
E
Chelsea
parking
is
very,
like
the
city
is
very
horrible
to
pack
I
can
pack,
I
have
both
my
knees.
I've
been
diagnosed
with
oyster
arthritis
and
also
have
plantar
fasciitis,
so
I
can
go
to
steps
and
I
can
pack
most
of
them.
When
I
came
from
from
work,
I
have
to
park
under
the
bridge
and
I
can
even
my
shopping.
I
gotta
carry
them
by
myself.
E
Sometimes
I
park
in
the
middle
of
the
street
so
that
I
can
you
know,
take
my
stuff
from
the
car
there's
a
lady
that
has
a
car
parking
next
next
to
my
house,
but
she
doesn't
move
her
car
the
car.
Is
there
like
24
7.,
seven
days
a
week.
So
when
I
come
in
from
work,
I
don't
have
anywhere
to
park.
You
know
on
the
street
on
every
lap
or
under
the
bridge
and
it's
very
inconvenient
for
me.
E
D
E
E
Because
they
told
me
right
now,
the
adoption
they
gave
me
is
like
either
they
like
they're
gonna,
ruin
you
every
six
months,
because
two
options
they
gave
me
is
to
do
knee
surgery,
which
I
don't
want
to
do
it
because
they
said
they
said
that
that's
the
last
option.
So
I
every
three
months
I
had
to
go,
go
and
get
some
shots
to
help
me
out
a
little
bit.
So
I've
been
diagnosed
with
this
for
almost
like
five
years.
So
it's
not
it's
not
getting
any
any
better.
E
Yes,
the
one
next
to
my
apartment
door,
135,
the
lady,
doesn't
move
the
car.
It's
just.
I
know
I'm
supposed
to
share
the
space
bar.
She
never
moved
the
car.
She
would
ever
take
a
taxi
instead
of
moving
that
car,
because
now
she
knows
that
I
have
the
hundred
car
parking,
so
she's,
not
gonna
yeah.
So
I
have
difficulties
parking
in
chelsea
and
the
chelsea
the
1.99
chestnut.
It's
like
a
free
parking.
Anybody
can
park
there
because
there's
no
like
resident
parking,
only
people
that
are
walking
broadway
anywhere
to
work
they
park
there.
C
D
C
A
C
So
the
the
repositioning
of
existing
stop
signs
can
be
done
under
the
purview
of
dpw.
So
I
don't
believe,
there's
any
action
required
by
the
traffic
and
parking
commission
on
this
request.
But
we
will
confer
with
the
commissioner
of
public
works
as
well
as
the
dpw
team
to
improve
the
visibility
of
these
stop
signs.
K
So
we
anticipate
to
start
construction
in
august.
So
it's
a
you
know.
It's
it's
been
quite
a
long
process
for
this
project.
So
I
think
you
know
summary
is
is
worthwhile,
and
so
here
today
I
have
matt
therian
from
plum
house
construction,
who
will
be
the
general
contractor
mike
hartnett
from
plum
house
construction
who
will
be
the
general
contractor
and
brian
zamotha
from
niche
engineering.
So
we've
met
with
the
city.
L
L
L
We're
proposing,
along
watt
street,
to
redirect
pedestrian
traffic
from
the
northern
sidewalk
from
highland
street
to
willow
street
along
central
ave,
we're
proposing
direct
it
from
the
southern
sidewalk
from
highland
street
to
the
eastern
end
of
the
site
and
along
willow
street,
we'll
redirect
to
either
the
eastern
or
western
sidewalks,
depending
on
the
actual
demolition
and
construction
activities
between
phase
one
and
phase.
Two.
L
So,
starting
with
phase
zero
0.1,
which
are
the
blue
buildings
on
the
eastern
portion
of
the
site,
trucks
are
going
to
travel
west
down
central
ave
and
enter
the
site
at
the
southern
gate,
which
is
gate.
C1,
asbestos
and
hazardous
material
containers
will
be
loaded
onto
tractor
trailers
and
demo
materials
will
be
live
loaded
into
dump
trucks.
All
trucks
will
travel
north
on
the
site
and
exit
through
the
northwest
gate,
which
is
gate,
c2
and
travel
south
onto
willow
street
and
then
east
onto
central
ave
phase.
L
This
will
take
place
between
months
three
and
month,
six,
a
total
of
four
months
trucks
will
travel
west
down
central
ave
and
then
turn
north
onto
willow
street
and
enter
at
the
north
east
gate,
which
is
gate.
B2
trucks
will
be
loaded
and
then
they'll
exit
to
the
southern
gate,
gate,
b3
and
then
east
down
central
ave.
L
L
L
L
At
this
time,
willow
street
will
be
closed
to
traffic
during
construction
hours.
Only
the
southern
travel
lane
on
willow
street
will
be
closed
at
the
intersection
of
bellingham
street
for
all
through
traffic
residents
will
still
have
access
all
traffic
on
watts,
street
chester,
ave
and
cottage
street
will
be
redirected
onto
belling
bellingham
street.
L
So
phase
two
is
what
we're
calling
building
b,
and
this
consists
of
115
units,
it's
five
over
one,
so
one
level
of
structural
steel
with
five
levels
of
wood
framing,
and
this
occurs
between
month,
six
in
months,
24
for
a
total
duration
of
18
months,
we'll
begin
site
preparation
foundations
between
the
month
month,
six
and
month,
10
for
a
total
of
four
months.
Structural
steel
will
be
three
and
a
half
weeks
between
months
ten
and
month.
Eleven.
L
The
building
structure
is
going
to
be
erected,
block
a
which
is
shown
in
blue
and
then
we'll
move
to
block
b,
which
is
colored
in
green,
so
west
to
northeast
for
block
a
the
structural,
steel
and
wood
deliveries.
The
trucks
are
going
to
be
traveling
west
down
central
ave
and
enter
through
gate
b1
and
exit
west
onto
central
ave
through
gate
a1
for
block
b.
We
have
a
little
bit
of
a
different
setup:
structural,
steel
and
wood
deliveries.
L
The
trucks
are
going
to
travel
west
down
central
ave
and
then
back
up
into
willow
street
to
gate.
B2
material
will
be
stored
in
the
building
b
courtyard,
where
the
crane
location
is
shown
once
unloaded
trucks
once
the
trucks
are
unloaded,
they
will
exit
south
on
willow
street
and
then
head
east
onto
central
ave
at
this
time
for
block
b
willow
street
we're
proposing
willow
street
to
be
closed
to
traffic
during
construction
hours
only
and
only
for
a
limited
amount
of
time
during
deliveries.
L
L
For
our
cranes
during
structural
steel
they'll
be
on
site
for
the
entire
duration
of
the
erection
for
wood
for
the
wood
erection
for
levels.
Two
through
five
they'll
only
be
used
to
set
floor.
Trusses
and
that'll
occur
on
a
bi-weekly
basis
for
level
six
in
the
roof.
The
crane
will
be
on
site
daily
to
set
both
wall
panels
and
trusses.
L
So
phase
three:
this
is
what
we're
calling
building
a
this
consists
of
215
units,
it's
kind
of
a
combination
of
five
over
one,
which
is
mainly
that
dark
green
portion
on
the
right
hand,
side
of
the
building
and
then
there
over
to
the
left,
red,
green
and
blue.
That
is
two
over
one.
So
two
levels
of
structural
steel
with
five
levels
of
wood
frame,
this
building
will
be
constructed
between
months
10
and
months,
35
for
a
total
duration
of
26
months.
L
L
L
Similar
to
how
we
constructed
building
b,
the
structural
steel
crane
will
be
on
site
for
the
entire
duration
for
wood
levels.
Two
and
five
will
be
used
to
set
floor
trusses
and
occur
on
a
biweekly
basis,
but
levels
six
and
seven
and
the
roof.
The
crane
will
be
on
site
daily
to
set
both
wall
panels
and
trusses.
L
M
Brian
smoker
niche
engineering,
so
we
ran
all
the
vehicle,
turns
using
our
auto
turn:
software
typical
traffic
engineering
standards
and
when,
for
each
one
of
these,
we
used
different
size
trucks,
anything
along
central
working
with
matt
and
his
team.
They
said
they
needed
large
trucks
coming
through
here,
so
we
aligned
these
gates
and
provided
enough
space
that
they'll
be
able
to
swing
in
and
do
either
backup
or
whatever
maneuver.
They
need
to
do
that.
They
need
to
you
know
to
provide
this
room.
M
We
also
worked
with
matt
to
make
sure
that
any
kind
of
public
occupation
they're
using
the
correct
highway,
federal,
highway
and
massachusetts
highway
standards,
which
they
are
they're
using
appropriate
crash
barriers
that
are
rated
for
the
speeds
of
the
roads
and,
let's
see
anything
else,
regarding
the
turning
radii,
what
we
did
encounter
during
one
phase-
it's
not
on
this
one.
I
think
it
might
have
been
on
nope
go
up.
I
think
it
was
the
steel
yeah
here
we
go.
M
M
So
these
are
wb's
what
we
call
wb65s
w6
b65
is
a
65-foot
long
semi-trailer
with
a
53-foot
bed.
Your
typical,
smaller
truck
that
you
might
see
is
a
30-foot
single
unit
truck
and
then
the
semi-trailers
that
they're
going
to
be
used
range
from
well
65,
50
and
40
anywhere
in
that
range.
So
everything
that
you
know
we've
discussed.
Basically,
the
large
trucks
will
be
able
to
get
in
here,
but
only
the
smaller
ones
through
watts,
but,
as
matt
said,
they're
going
to
limit
the
trucks
on
watts
anyway,.
C
M
C
M
M
L
So
for
building
a
we're
constructing
the
building
this
way
and
for
this
portion
of
the
building,
which
is
block
seam
block,
f
we're
going
to
have
our
cranes
positioned
out
here.
We're
also
going
to
have
some
boom
lifts
in
here
and
we'll
be
able
to
construct
this,
but
once
we
get
to
this
leg
of
the
building,
the
crane
can
no
longer
pick
because
from
here
to
about
here,
is
like
over
300
feet.
L
So
in
order
to
construct
this
building,
the
crane
needs
to
be
positioned
here,
so
we're
gonna
have
they're
not
as
big
as
the
cranes
that
we're
gonna
have
out
here
in
the
beginning.
So
we
have
some
smaller
cranes.
We're
gonna
have
one
right
here
and
then
one
down
here
that
fits
within
the
parameters
of
the
building
edge
and
where
we
have
the
fence
line.
L
C
M
Fair
point
so
on
watt
street
we
are
restricting
36
parking
spaces
along
here,
however,
gaining
15
spaces
on
this
side,
so
matt
talked
about
relocating
the
parking
we'll
be
able
to
gain
15.,
and
I
believe
it's
27
off
of
central,
that
we
can't
relocate
so
and
a
total
of
65
parking
spaces
will
be
removed
and
then
15
will
put
back.
So
a
total
of
50
would
be
lost.
F
L
F
D
E
C
This
one
is
relatively,
I
think,
immaterial
to
to
your
project
from
a
cost
perspective,
but
if
you
could
include
a
temporary
crosswalk
across
watts
at
the
north
western
corner
of
the
building,
so
you're
going
to
be
cordoning
off
the
sidewalk
on
watts,
so
pedestrians
will
need
an
ada
compliant
path
to
cross
to
the
other
side
of
watts.
In
order
to
walk
around
the
construction,
fencing.
L
C
So
I
presume
that
when
willow
streets
closed
off
to
vehicular
traffic
like
emergency
vehicles,
the
fire
department
will
still
be
able
to
access
it.
If
there
was
an
emergency
that
they
had
to
traverse
the
road
to
access,
correct,
okay
and
then
I
think,
just
from
our
department's
perspective,
we're
not
extremely
receptive
to
detouring
vehicles
down
to
bellingham,
so
that
would
divert
vehicles
to
the
intersection
of
billingham
and
eastern,
which
is
one
of
one
of
the
substandard
intersections
along
eastern
ave,
with
a
prevalence
of
crashes.
C
L
G
C
So,
given
that
this
involves
the
loss
of
on-street
parking
and
the
temporary
loss
of
the
bus,
stop
our
formal
practice
practices
to
move
items
like
these
to
public
hearings,
we'll
notify
abutters.
It
affords
the
public
a
chance
to
weigh
in
on
the
plans
before
the
commission
votes
formally.
So
I
would
make
a
motion
to
move
this
to
a
public
hearing
at
our
april
meeting.
