Franklin Street
It has been requested, after a study by the Parking
Enforcement Division, that the parkingspaces located on Franklin
Street he amended from 1 hour parking to 2 hour parking. Due to
the non -retail business and residential characteristic of the
street, it appears that 2 hour parking would not impact the
availability of parking.
Councilor Blanchette stated that she did not feel that this
area should be changed to 2 hour parking as it would take away from
revenues to the Abbott Square Lot located at the corner of Franklin
and Harlow Streets.
Sen replied that this bad been taken into consideration but
e
that the impact on revenues would be min£mum;� that from a
functional standpoint the 2 hour parking limit is recoasaended.
Committee members stated an interest in hearing from the
various people from Franklin Street who have expressed the desire
to have the 2 hour parking established.
The consensus of the Committee at this time was to table this
item until the next C 6 ED meeting.

Session for the purpose of discussing this item.
