During a recent government meeting, discussions centered around local parking regulations and ongoing infrastructure projects. A resident raised concerns regarding the newly implemented no-parking zone on Chestnut Street, which has left residents struggling to accommodate visitors. The resident highlighted that the street is now largely restricted to parking only on Sundays on one side, while the other side has been designated as a no-parking zone. This change has created significant inconvenience for those living on the street, particularly for the three residences at the end.

The council members acknowledged the resident's concerns and indicated that they would investigate the situation further. They clarified that the intention behind the ordinance was not to alter existing parking rules but to allow for parking on Sundays from 8 AM to 4 PM on one side of the street. However, the resident contended that there had never been a no-parking sign on their side of the street prior to this ordinance, raising questions about the enforcement and communication of these regulations.

In addition to the parking issue, the meeting also addressed ongoing infrastructure work, specifically the temporary striping of roads that had been halted due to cold weather. Officials confirmed that the project would resume in the spring, ensuring that the roads would be fully operational for public use during the winter months.

The meeting concluded with a commitment from the council to review the parking regulations and address the resident's concerns, emphasizing the importance of clear communication and community engagement in local governance.
