What: Chairman's Order 11j from the Committee on Traffic and Parking asks the City Manager to have the Commissioner of Transportation and Mobility (Stephen S. Rolle) run a 90-day trial of treatments to limit traffic in the Montvale Historic District neighborhood and report the findings to the Council.
Where it stands: adopted in bulk on 2026-07-21.
Next: the trial design and start date are not in the minutes.
Resident comment
During public participation a District 1 resident said he understood a proposal to put roadblocks on Park Ave. to stop traffic from going up Sagamore Rd. and possibly Pratt and nearby streets (he mentioned as many as 6,000 cars from Salisbury St.).
As a resident of Monadnock Rd. he liked the idea but feared traffic would shift onto his quiet block.
The captions do not confirm that the resident was describing this same trial.
