Orchard Street One-Way Conversion Request

At a glance

Based on auto-generated captions; names, numbers and addresses may be misheard.

• What: item 418-26, a request by residents and Councilor Rosaly Gonzalez to make Orchard Street one-way so angled parking can be added on one side while keeping parallel parking on the other. Residents cited historic homes without driveways, safety and less cut-through traffic.
• Where it stands: sent to the engineering department for evaluation, then back to the full council. Committee members said the study should also look at the angle (30, 45 or 90 degrees), that angled parking needs its own petition item, and that nearby one-way streets (Garden, Summer, Newberry) constrain which direction works.
