HARD I NG ROAOsREQUEST FOR REMOVAL OF "NO PARKING ", SIGNS The Chairman recapped the request of Mrs. Nich, 63 Harding Road, for removal of "No Parking" signs on that street, which had been installed to prohibit commuter -bus user parking. Since the commuter bus no longer operates in that area, Mrs. Nich felt that there would be no adverse effect from removal of the restriction, Telephone calls to the Town Manager's office in response to a letter sent to all Harding Road residents had shown that 17 were opposed to the removal and 8 were in favor. Mrs. Nich stated that she had never had a problem with parkers before the signs were installed, as neighbors on other parts of Harding Road had, and so was not aware that removal of the signs would be a problem. She asked if it would be possible to remove only the sign at her house, - leaving the signs i n ' other locations for protection of - th ose - who - need it '. Mr. Hutchinson said the regulation could be amended to do so. Sharon Murphy, 40 Harding Road, agreed with that procedure and asked if the residents in areas where the signs will remain could be issued resident parking stickers. She noted that bus service could be resumed at some point and the signs would be needed. A resident of #53 Harding Road also voiced agreement with the plan, as long as signs would remain to cover her property. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to request the Town Manager to arrange for removal of the "No Parking" sign at #83 Harding Road.. The Manager was also asked to see that the remaining signs on both sides of the street are consistent regarding designated days of the week.
