Selectboard discusses winter parking ban near Damon Hall and Three Corners; enforcement questions raised
Summary
Town Manager John Broker-Campbell reported parking around Damon Hall/Three Corners creates problems for winter plowing; the Selectboard discussed temporary parking bans and signage, and staff will contact known users about changes. Sherry Clarke raised enforcement concerns.
John Broker-Campbell told the Selectboard that "parking in public spaces around Damon Hall/Three Corners has shown some challenges when plowing and removing snow," and presented options including targeted parking bans during critical periods and clearer signage.
Board members discussed enforcement and timing. John said he would reach out to people known to be using those spaces to explain any new restrictions and possible signage changes. Sherry Clarke commented on policy and enforcement concerns, asking the board to consider how rules would be enforced in practice.
No formal ordinance change or vote was taken at the meeting. The Selectboard asked staff to gather more information, including likely users of the spaces and recommended signage or time-limited bans, before any formal action.
Separately in the Town Manager update, John reported that heating problems at the library were resolved and that fireworks previously contracted through a smaller vendor will now be provided by a larger company; fireworks are planned for Friday, July 3, with Old Home Days on Saturday, July 4.
