Bud Butterfield, who is a representative of Pilgrim Orthodox Presbyterian Church at 375 Mt. Hope Avenue, has requested that no parking signs be placed between the two driveways of the church property. Placing a no parking sign between the driveways would allow for additional visibility. Repeated requests to his congregation have been unsuccessful in deterring parking at this location. This item was initially reviewed at the Government Operations Committee meeting on October 20, 2014.
