Parking - Myrtle Boulevard Mr. Gravanese addressed the Committee with respect to the issue of parking on Myrtle Boulevard and Madison Avenue for business. There was further discus- sion on the commuters that may be using the street for long term parking. The Committee requested that the Police Department conduct stricter enforcement of the parking ordinances in the Myrtle Boulevard - Madison Avenue region. Parking - Plymouth Road Mrs. Gloria Milazo addressed the Committee. She indicated that over time more and more people are parking on Plymouth Road and there are several homes without any driveways. The residents would like to have the "NO PARKING HERE TO CORNER" sign moved. Also they would like to know if the vacant land on Winthrop Avenue could be developed into parking. Residents claim that the land is Town owned. This matter will be referred to the Police Department for review.
