Marie Lyons, who resides at 645 Hammond Street, has requested that a No Parking sign be placed in front of her property. A combination of factors, including the speed of passing vehicles, the mix of residential and commercial uses, the number and position of cars typically parked during the day along Hammond Street, and the resulting poor visibility make it unusually difficult for her and her husband to safely exit their driveway. Placing a No Parking sign 20 feet before her driveway would allow for additional visibility. Other methods for resolving this safety concern, including talking to neighbors, have not met with any success. This item was initially reviewed at the Government Operations Committee meeting on April 7, 2014.
