Selectboard to seek state permission, police enforcement for Route 44 no-parking hazard
Summary
The Selectboard discussed repeated illegal parking in Route 44 no-parking hatchings near Brownsville Butcher & Pantry and the fire station, directing staff to consult the highway foreman, seek Agency of Transportation options for markings/signage, and ask Windsor PD to ticket hazardous parking.
Town Clerk Amy Yates flagged multiple instances of vehicles parked in the no-parking hatchings along Route 44 near Brownsville Butcher & Pantry and the West Windsor Fire Station that reduce sightlines and create hazards for motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians. The board discussed the limits of town authority on a state highway and potential remedies.
Town Administrator Matt Frederick said he will coordinate with Highway Foreman Mike Spackman when he returns from vacation to refresh approved markings, reach out to the Agency of Transportation to request approval for additional safety options, and notify Windsor PD that hazardous illegal parking should be ticketed. The minutes record the board’s agreement to pursue those steps.
