The League of Women Voters will work on the analysis. <br /> There was mention of the few returns by TMM and their interest. <br /> Mr. Cormier will do the analysis and write the report. A rough <br /> draft will be presented to the committee before publication. <br /> A meeting in late June or early July and application of the <br /> report will be discussed. <br /> There does not seem to be much , in the way of complaint on the <br /> parking plan. The Bedford street side is posted, the Massachusetts <br /> Avenue side is not. Question is should both sides be posted <br /> or on the side on the Green. <br /> Robin Ong, of the Yangtze Restaurant, reported a loss of business <br /> during the lunch hour and in the difficulty his help has in <br /> finding parking space. He pointed out that perhaps the problem <br /> is caused by permit parking. The renewal of parking permits in <br /> August 1982 will give the Town a chance to reappraise the <br /> situation. <br /> Fran Peters proposed a return to two hour parking round the the <br /> Green. The question as to whether a larger fine, say in the seven <br /> to ten dollar range, would discourage meter feeding that have <br /> a two hour limit. <br /> Kirsten Sorenson pointed out that there was no guarantee of <br /> permits for parking. He also felt there should be closer control <br /> on the amount of permits issued to a single purchaser. <br /> U <br /> ✓, <br /> JJJ <br />
