Council restores pretrial no-parking rules on Dalton Road after resident requests
The Traffic Council voted unanimously to restore Dalton Road's prior daytime no-parking regulation after planners identified a clerical omission that left the street absent from the official traffic-and-parking regulations.

David Koses explained that the February trial had introduced new signs but the city's official Traffic and Parking Regulations document did not reflect the change due to an omission. The docketed options were to reinsert the long-standing 'No parking 8 AM–5 PM except Sundays and holidays' language (option 1) or to keep the trial signage that allowed some parking on one side.

Residents living on Dalton Road and adjacent addresses provided emails and live testimony describing narrow driving conditions, blocked driveways, and safety concerns when vehicles park opposite one another. Steve Bask (711 Beacon Street) and Nancy Honig (62 Dalton Road) asked the council to restore previous restrictions; Honig noted the regulations originally resulted from resident effort and board orders.

Mitch Fishman moved to return the street to pretrial conditions (TPR1007 option 1). Danielle Delaney called the roll and the motion passed 5–0. The council directed staff to update the official TPR document and install replacement signage reflecting the original no-parking hours.
