The most notable decision was the approval of a proposal to make Quincy Street a one-way street heading north from President Avenue to Brownell Street. This change ties into the broader Route 79 project, which has been in planning since 2014. The city engineer supported the one-way conversion but opposed restricting left turns from President Avenue onto Lindsey Street, citing delivery and traffic flow concerns. The board agreed with this assessment, noting that such a restriction would likely lead to enforcement challenges. The board planned an emergency meeting to notify local residents of the change and ensure their input is considered in finalizing the decision.

In another key item, the board gave the green light for a one-hour parking zone request by a business on Pleasant Street. The business owner highlighted issues with long-term parking by non-customers, which hindered access for clients. The board approved the request without opposition, recognizing the need to support local businesses through reasonable parking regulations.

The meeting also addressed multiple requests for handicap parking spaces. While several requests were approved, one application was denied due to the applicant having sufficient off-street parking. The board emphasized the city’s regulations, which prioritize on-street parking availability for those without alternative parking options.

Additionally, the board approved curb cut requests for Mohawk Drive and Gar Side Street, finding no issues with the proposals. A proposal regarding Westall School on June Street was revisited, with input from the fire department confirming that a new one-way traffic pattern would not impede emergency operations.
