RE:                   Council Motion of 5/15/07 by Councillor Rita Mercier

“Request the City Manager have the Law Department draw the proper vote to have a 60 day trial for loading zones at the side entrance on Pond Street and Perry Street and at the back entrance on Pond Street and Concord Street.”

 

 

I have contacted Jeff Gomes, Transportation Engineer, regarding the motion mentioned above and he stated that he did visit the site in question and made some conclusions.  He said that the City cannot place loading zones exactly where the store owner wants them, however, Jeff did find locations relatively close that are acceptable to all parties. 

 

Therefore, a 60 day trial will be before the City Council on Tuesday, May 29th to accommodate the immediate needs of this business.  A permanent ordinance will be included in the June quarterly package.”

 

If you have any questions regarding this request, please let me know.  Thank you.
