What: petition 11b from Robert A. Bilotta for convex mirrors on Millbrook St. across from 171 and 173 Millbrook St. so residents can back out of their driveways.
Where it stands: referred to the Traffic and Parking Committee 11-0 on 2026-09-08 as part of a batch.
Next: a hearing; Atwood was told he would get a letter.
Resident's concerns
Lorenzo Atwood told the Council on 2026-09-08 that neighbors have asked for the mirrors for several years.
He has videos of cars swinging around behind him over the double yellow line to reach Burncoat St., plus tractor-trailers, and no police presence.
He noted that construction on Millbrook St. was about to begin.
Bilotta's comments
He filed a similar order last winter and has talked with the Department of Transportation and Mobility.
He called it an impasse where best practice does not fit the reality: westbound traffic comes fast out of a sharp turn and there is no safe way to back out.
A serious accident is "only a matter of time."
Note
Do not confuse this with the signalized crosswalk at the Millbrook St. intersection on Traffic and Parking agendas.
