Board eyes consistent 'no parking' signs, $75 fine for Hamilton Falls stretch
Summary
Town staff proposed buying 10–15 uniform 'no parking' signs for West Windham Road near Hamilton Falls, spaced roughly 25 feet apart, with a $75 fine for violations and an initial warning period; the board discussed enforcement options and signage placement.
The board reviewed a plan to tighten parking enforcement on the stretch of West Windham Road that serves Hamilton Falls. Tom said the current signage is inconsistent and proposed buying 10–15 uniform 'no parking' signs placed at 25‑foot intervals to define the whole no‑parking zone and attach a $75 fine for violations.
Board members discussed starting with a written warning process (a paper notice on the windshield) before issuing tickets and noted enforcement limits because staff cannot always read license plates from the road. Officials also discussed having town personnel or volunteers walk the area on busy weekends to support enforcement. Tom said he will prepare a map showing proposed sign locations and a timeline for installation and enforcement.
