Select Board discusses diagonal parking concept and town-center planning
Summary
The board socialized a proposal to convert a small sliver of road near Dover Market into diagonal municipal parking (roughly 25–30 spaces) and recommended integrating parking plans into broader town-center and housing planning work.
Chair raised a concept to create diagonal municipal parking on a small sliver of road between the Dover Market and Dunkin’ Donuts, estimating roughly 25–30 spaces that could serve multiple nearby facilities, including the community center and library. The idea was presented as a concept for socialization rather than a formal proposal requiring immediate action.
Members recommended treating parking as part of a holistic town-center project tied to potential rail-trail access, additional housing and retail development, and improved road striping and signage. The board asked staff to consult Melissa (planner) and the police chief and to consider parking alongside the town-center planning and Dover Housing Task Force work.
