Hutchinson noted continued complaints concerning the parking of commuter bus riders on residential streets, pointing out Harding Road, as an example Residents of Harding Road and Lincoln Street were present for the discussion. He mentioned alternate for solutions to the problem such as using a - portion of the Lincoln Street recreation area and posting of residential streets.. He suggested that Lincoln Street be considered as a first suggestion. He also noted that the DPW .land on Bedford Street is one of the areas that has been looked at for future use as a satellite parking area. Mr. Dankese , Lincoln .Street noted Lincoln Street's curved con- figuration plus blind spots which are hazardous . He noted constant use of the Town land for parking of Town vehicles. He stated his op- position to commuter parking on Lincoln Street. Mrs. Wilson voiced strong opposition of the Recreation Committee to the proposal for parking at Lincoln Street, and noted the Committee's article aimed toward improvement of the area for recreational use. She felt it would be a dangerous precedent. Mrs. Daniels, Lincoln Street, also opposed the parking lot use. She felt that use would make the street even more dangerous for children than it is now. Mr. Caro to , 41 Harding Road, acknowledged Lexington Center's parking problems, but said he felt that Harding Road, a residential Street, is unduly impacted with parking at driveways, across from drive- ways and close to corners He said that in winter those problems are compounded. Mr. Fitzgerald, 55 Harding Road, noted interference with emergency and service vehicles who try to maneuver the street. Mr. Kearney, 44 Harding . Road, noted the high population of children on Harding Road and the dangers resultant from increased traffic. Mr. LeVangie, 42 Harding Road, expressed concern that children waiting at the school bus stop are in danger because of a blind spot at Simonds Road and the obstruction of parked cars. Mrs Connors., 54 Harding Road, also spoke of obstruction of parked cars opposite her driveway and said she has counted 20--25 commuters' - cars parked daily on Harding Road, Other neighbors complained of numbers of parked cars and the ob- struction caused. Mr. Fitzgerald claimed that an abandoned car had remained, unticketed by Police, . for three days on Harding Road. Mr. Murphy, 49 Harding Road, felt that the short term solutions suggested for Harding Road. such as calling the Police and notices to parkers .are not effective in alleviating the problems of residents.
