The most notable item was the approval of curb cut requests for a property on Cambridge Street and 34-36 California Street. Both requests were thoroughly reviewed by the city engineer, who found no issues with either proposal. The 202 Cambridge Street location will have a total opening of 32 feet, while the California Street location will extend its existing curb opening to 31 feet. These approvals will facilitate easier access to these properties and were passed without objection.

The board also addressed a request for prohibited parking on the north side of Breman Street at Lindsay. This proposal, linked to the Route 79 reconstruction project, includes reverting part of Breman Street to a two-way street to accommodate the fire department’s requirements. The board approved this request after confirming the necessity of the change for emergency vehicle access.

A series of handicap parking requests were discussed. Residents from various addresses, including 278 Franklin Street and Rodman Street, presented their cases for designated handicap parking spots. The board approved these requests after verifying that applicants had the necessary documentation and lacked accessible off-street parking.

In contrast, a request from a homeowner on Garfield Street was granted despite the presence of a driveway. The applicant argued for the need for a closer parking spot due to safety concerns and physical limitations, which the board eventually approved.

Finally, the board confirmed the rescindment of several handicap spaces no longer in use due to residents moving, no longer driving, or passing away. This action helps ensure that valuable parking resources are allocated effectively and fairly across the community.
