Route 40 parking removal for bike lanes

The state's conceptual plan would strip parking from one side of Franklin and Washington Streets downtown for a bike lane. The council is pushing back now, while plans are only 5% designed, and will send a letter demanding a local parking demand study.

Residential permit parking near Meredith Park

Historic Heights residents lose street parking during Boxcars games, with only about 190 marked spaces for roughly 300 households. Council is weighing a voluntary permit program for baseball season — free first sticker, fee for a second, and fines for violators — but debated scope and how to handle visitors, businesses and non-residents.
