He showed a plan of the '-.eriam St lot behind the old R.R. Sta.and indicated that 30 spaces could be picked up there, if you utilized all Town-owned space. We would have to build a concrete retaining wall with a stockade fence to protect the abutting neighbors--2 of whom would be directly affected .

Report of Parking Stock Subcommittee . Bob Sacco reported that V// 10 households on Oakland St . preferred 2 hr parking . In surveying the restaurants it was mid-day when there was insufficient parking. The evening was all right.

I.., Traffic survey data collection has been completed , but the survey part by Norman Abend , Wally Tonaszuck and Bob Bowyer needs to be coapleted by the end of November. We need to com- plete this so we can make corrective measures , if needed , and report back to the Town Meetil-at in 1983
