• Review of Minutes of April 26, 2017
Correspondence from Greq Keefer - Perking
on Palmer Avenue around Driveways:
At the January Traffic Committee meeting Mr. Keefer's letter was discussed in which he
stated his concerns with respect to the building's two driveways at 1299 Palmer Avenue.
The Committee continued discussion of access of the main and garage driveways. It was
Mr. Keefer's opinion due to inadequate signage and markings identifying where the
driveways are located, vehicles have difficulty entering or exiting. In addition exiting onto
Palmer Avenue can be problematic from a safety standpoint due to limited visibility of
oncoming traffic.
The Committee discussed the building's main driveway and decided no action would be
taken. However regarding the garage driveway the Committee decided the faded yellow
paint on the curb should be repainted as well as extended to allow additional room for
vehicles to enter and exit. The Committee also agreed that the reason for posting the
"Wednesday - No Parking 9-12 " sign should be researched to determine its necessity given
the other posted parking restrictions. If it is determined the sign is not necessary then the
Committee would recommend removal of the sign. Also to better identify the location of the
driveway, it was suggested that other signage e.g. "Active Driveway" be placed near the
entrance or in place of the aforementioned parking sign if it were to be removed.
Correspondence from John Fitzpatrick - Speeding on Palmer Avenue and Weaver
Street and Howell Avenue Intersection:
The Committee discussed Mr. Fitzpatrick's concerns addressed in his letter. Due to vehicles
speeding in the vicinity of Weaver Street and Howell Avenue he suggested installing three-
way stop signs, as opposed to a one-way stop sign. In addition, he recommended slower
speed limits, as well as having a school crossing guard monitor traffic at the intersection of
Weaver Street and Howell Avenue. His rationale was that there are many children who walk
to the corner of Howell and Weaver, then cross the street to take the path to the Central
School. The Committee discussed the. area's traffic issues, however it was decided the
II
Committee was not going to take any acton.
