Committee hears brief updates: Semmel Street signage request and Bronx Park East staircase opening
Summary
The committee was informed of an FYI request for alternate-side parking signage on Semmel Street (petition required) and heard that a new staircase and ramp from Bronx Park East to the Botanical Garden is scheduled to open March 16; a celebration/walk is being planned.
Two brief items were covered under other business at the March 11 meeting. First, an FYI about a resident petition to add alternate-side-of-street parking signage on Semmel Street (not to be confused with Seminole Avenue) was circulated; committee members said the item is at an FYI stage and recommended a joint meeting with the transportation committee because parking issues require transportation input. The transcript noted the petition process requires a certain percentage of block signatures and that past petitions stalled when residents did not complete the petition.
Second, a member asked about construction of a new staircase and ramp from Bronx Park East to the Botanical Garden. Parks staff said the work is scheduled to open March 16 and a member mentioned planning a celebration/walk when the access opens.
