At a glance
Based on auto-generated captions plus the posted minutes; names and details may be misheard.
- What: two petitions from Nathalie Gibson about Coes St. near Stearns Tavern: warning signs for a sharp curve (through Jose A. Rivera) and a solid center line.
- Where it stands: curve warning signs in both directions were approved by the committee on 2026-08-19 and adopted by the Council 11-0 on 2026-09-08. The center-line petition was filed.
- Next: sign installation.
Staff view
- Stephen S. Rolle: Coes St. has a 90-degree bend, and a driveway right on the corner hurts drivers' ability to read the road.
- Double yellow lines were painted at both ends of the street last year, around the curve and toward Park Ave., but not mid-block. Traffic is light, and one-sided parking means a center line would force cars across it to pass parked vehicles.
- Gibson was on Zoom but did not unmute.
