5. 631 N. MAIN STREET AND 651 N. MONTELLO STREET
Requested by: Jonathan Booker
Request/Issue: No visible School zone ahead signs on N. Main Street or N.

Requesting School Ahead, School Crossing and School Zone flashing beacons updated. (Traffic Commission members see attached CDM Study Engineering Study)
6. WEST CHESTNUT AND LINWOOD STREET
Requested by: Jaime Berrezuta
Request/Issue: This is a very dangerous intersection. It is also very time consuming as it takes between 10/15 minutes every day to turn especially when it’s busy. The light at this intersection doesn’t change color, it only flashes. Requesting a traffic light that changes color (red, yellow,green). (Traffic Commission members see attached CDM Study Engineering Study)
7. 900 ASH STREET
Request by: Captain Mark Porcaro (BPD/Traffic Commission) on behalf of Principal Kelly Kistler, Kennedy School
Request/Issue: Principal Kistler would like a review of the current crosswalk location that extends from the school over to Michael Drive to see if it can be relocated so that it will no longer interfere with the school’s driveway. (Traffic Commission members see attached CDM Study Engineering Study)
NEW BUSINESS
8. SOFO LOFTS/POST OFFICE
Requested by: Nathan Lackey
Request/Issue: Asking to have a flashing crosswalk sign put in at the crosswalk near the entry of Soco Lofts and the Post Office. Many pass by without even stopping, even if you are in the crosswalk.
9. 17 NORTH WARREN AVENUE
Requested by: Karen Waweru
Request/Issue: Requesting for an oncoming traffic mirror since the house is a blind spot and not able to see traffic when driving out of residence.
10. 15 LENOX STREET
Requested by: Manny Teixeira
Request/Issue: I am asking that the signs on the Lenox Street side of 584 Pleasant Street be reviewed. The property has not been a daycare since 2014, so the “No Parking” sign may no longer be needed. The “Slow” sign should remain to help reduce speed.
