Votes at a glance: January 2026 Chelsea Traffic and Parking Commission
Here are the formal actions the Chelsea Traffic and Parking Commission recorded on Jan. 6, 2026, based on the meeting transcript.

- Tabled approval of the December 2025 minutes so staff (Elsa) could make edits (motion to table carried by voice vote).

- Approved installation of EV chargers at four locations: 4 stalls at Highland and 2 stalls each at Crescent Avenue, Cabbage Street and Washington Avenue, with a 12-hour EV-only window (8 a.m.–8 p.m.). Motion made by Staff member (S5) and seconded by Moderator (S1); vote recorded by voice as "Aye." (Transcript does not specify individual member vote counts.)

- Tabled the speed-bump request for 140 Essex Street to March pending a study (motion carried by voice vote).

- Approved a one-year permit for a mobile coffee trailer to operate at the Chelsea Square spot on 2nd Street (application filed by Monica Roscoe per the agenda). Motion made and seconded; vote recorded as "Aye." Permit duration: one year; vendor must renew.

- Approved a handicap parking space for Manuel Otanez (157 Highland Street). Motion made and seconded; vote recorded as "Aye." (Transcript does not list roll-call vote tallies for these items.)

- Moved Crescent Avenue parking-removal and sidewalk proposal (Crescent from Lewis to Carroll) to a public hearing for further review (motion carried).

- Re-approved the MBTA Broadway at 4th bus-berth reconfiguration (change from one berth to two) and will forward to city council.

- Tabled the Williams & Wannosemit four-way stop request to April pending MassDOT study results.

- Approved temporary painted curb extensions and flexible posts at Broadway/Shortliffe/Marlborough as an interim safety measure; staff will monitor results and consider permanent curb realignment as part of the reimagined Broadway project.

Notes about the record: the transcript records voice votes and "Aye" responses but does not provide a roll-call or numeric tallies for several motions; where a specific mover or seconder is not identified in the transcript, the entry records the speaker labels used in the meeting (for example, Staff member (S5) or Moderator (S1)).
