RESOLUTION/RESIDENT PARKING PROGRAM FOR PRECINCT 4
Warrant Article Text:
Be it hereby resolved, that it is the will of Town Meeting that the Town establish a resident permit parking program for precinct 4 in East Arlington in order to alleviate weekday street parking scarcity created by Alewife T Commuters. Such a program would make allowances for contingencies including but not limited to the parking needs of Mass Ave businesses; DPW snow removal; emergency vehicle access; and visitor parking; or take any action related thereto.
Requested by:
(Inserted at the request of Silvia Dominguez and ten registered voters) 
Report Excerpt:
Similar to Article 87, the Select Board recommends no action on this article because parking regulation of public streets is within the sole jurisdiction of the Select Board. However, as with the previous article, the Board and the article’s proponent have committed to further discussions of potential pilot programs in recognition of the substantive issues raised by the proponent.
