Uxbridge committee approves moving 'no parking' sign after resident complaint about new utility pole on Harbor Street
Summary
After a resident reported a newly placed utility pole that reduces parking and blocks driveways on Harbor Street, the committee voted to move the 'no parking here to corner' sign back two poles to improve access and avoid driveway obstruction.
A resident requested that the town relocate a 'no parking here to corner' sign near 10 Harbor Street after a newly installed utility pole intruded on the curbside parking area and left little room between the pole and driveways.
DPW staff measured curb widths and reported sections ranging from about 24 to 27 feet; staff recommended moving the sign back two poles so the sign sits further away from the driveway cluster and to preserve emergency vehicle access. The committee voted unanimously to move the 'no parking here to corner' sign two poles back (motion recorded and carried).
Staff said they will order the sign relocation and verify minimum clearance requirements to maintain the 24-feet access standard that public safety typically uses for emergency apparatus. The change is administrative and will be implemented by DPW without a capital appropriation.
