TRAFFIC SAFETY ADVISORY COMMITTEE
MEMORANDUM
TO: Jacquelyn Smith, Chairman DATE: October 22, 1990
Board of Selectmen
FROM: Peter M. Chalpin, Chairian SUBJECT. Charles Street, Bowker
Traffic Safety Committ- - 4( Avenue - No Parking
At its meeting of October 10, 1990, the TSAC discussed a request for "No Parking
Here to Corner" signs on Charles Street and Bowker Avenue, at Massachusetts
Avenue. Mrs. Lillian MacArthur was unable to attend.
The Committee unanimously recommends that the request concerning Bowker Avenue be
denied. Under the current Traffic Rules and Orders, Article 5, Sect.1, parking is
prohibited within twenty feet of an intersection, which adequately addresses this
location.
Concerning Charles Street, a majority of the Committee recommends that "No
Parking Here to Corner" signs be posted to clearly indicate the parking
prohibition. It was felt that this location is used by people returning videos,
etc , and that emphasis is needed.
Those in attendance
Peter M. Chalpin, Chairman
Captain Kilmartin
