Kingston caucus greenlights multiple traffic and parking adjustments, including sight-line fix on South Bend
Summary
Councilors approved several straightforward traffic and parking adjustments in caucus — a line-of-sight change on South Bend (removing one parking space), handicap-parking modifications, and a four-way/no-right at Washington and Lucas after member debate.
Councilors reviewed and agreed to several traffic and parking items during caucus. Members discussed a line-of-sight safety fix on South Bend intended to improve visibility when pulling in; one councilor noted the change equated to removing a single parking space and engineers recommended the change. The Moderator presented additional items including removing a handicap spot on Fairview and adding one on Court Street, which members considered straightforward.
Resolution 86, proposing a four-way/no-right restriction at Washington and Lucas, prompted more substantive member discussion: a council member said they had voted no in committee but later received constituent messages persuading them to support the change, and the member described discussing longer-term traffic-signal improvements as a compromise. The caucus chose to proceed with the item as presented.
