Commission approves minutes, handicap permit actions and school street closure for spirit day
Summary
The Chelsea Traffic and Parking Commission approved the April minutes, accepted several handicap parking applications and removals, and granted a seasonal closure request from Chelsea Public Schools for a June spirit day.
The Traffic and Parking Commission opened its May 2025 meeting by approving the minutes from the April 1, 2025 meeting by voice vote.
The commission accepted multiple handicap-parking applications and approved removal of several handicap signs after staff review. Actions recorded in the meeting include acceptance of a handicap application for Fatima Carneso at 137 Hawthorne Street and approval of an application for Evan Williams Jr. at 162 Clark Ave; commissioners discussed on-record proximity of existing handicap spaces and noted street parking constraints. The commission also approved applications for Zadia Lopez (418 Crescent Avenue) and Peggy O'Neil (4 High Street). In several cases staff and commissioners noted there are other handicap spaces or restrictions nearby.
Parking clerk communications requesting removal of handicap signs because placards on file had expired were accepted for 93 Essex Street, 855 Broadway and 80 Blossom Street; the commission approved the removals on voice votes.
The commission also approved a routine, annual request from the Chelsea Public Schools to close a portion of "Shirtless Street" from Central to Congress Ave on June 12 from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. for the district's spirit day. The communication was described as an annual request that the schools have made in prior years.
Each of these items was handled as a consent or routine application during the meeting and recorded with a voice vote of "Aye." No large policy changes or contested appeals were recorded in the transcript.
