Council hears resident survey on Chestnut Street traffic, parking and turnaround issues
Summary
A council member reported surveying Chestnut Street residents and relayed complaints about vehicles turning around in driveways, illegal parking and traffic that make it difficult to enter and exit properties; the council discussed prior temporary measures and agreed to reevaluate after one year.
A council member reported the results of a resident survey on Chestnut Street, telling the council that residents — especially those at the dead end — experience heavy traffic, vehicles turning around in driveways and parking where they should not, which complicates access for residents and inspections. The council member said she had spoken to the residents most affected and that, of the respondents, “100% said they’re not pleased” with the situation; she estimated five to six households were actively affected by the conditions. The member reminded other officials that the council had previously agreed to let the situation stand for a year before reevaluating; she said that the one-year mark is approaching. Council members discussed that enforcement and parking remain ongoing concerns but the transcript does not record a subsequent directive, vote or schedule of enforcement actions. The issue remains on the council’s radar and will be reviewed again as the previously agreed reevaluation point approaches.
