Town of Mashpee Department of Pudic Works <br /> y( 350 Meetinghouse Road <br /> SABLE y Mashpee, Massachusetts 02649 <br /> Telephone- (508)539-1420 <br /> MEMORANDUM Fax- (508)539-3894 <br /> April 6, 2009 <br /> TO: Board of Selectmen <br /> Joyce Mason, Town Manager <br /> FROM: Catherine Laurent, Director 'uA/ <br /> SUBJECT: Proposed No Parking Zone— Commercial Street <br /> cc: Rodney Collins, Police Chief <br /> I am writing on behalf of the DPW and Police Department to recommend the prohibition of <br /> parking on a portion of Commercial Street. <br /> On-street parking along Commercial Street in the vicinity of the Cape Cod Community Health <br /> Center has become a concern. Each week day, 20-30 vehicles regularly park on both sides of the <br /> street (see attached photographs). <br /> As shown in the photographs, the parked vehicles extend into the travel lanes, impede visibility <br /> for traffic, and force pedestrians to walk further in traffic. <br /> The recommended parking ban is on the west side of Commercial Street as shown on the <br /> attached plan. The ban would begin approximately 700 feet beyond the utility lines for a <br /> distance of 700 feet, ending approximately 100 feet from the intersection with Mercantile Way. <br />
