Dear Councilors,
Re: Parking Ordinance Change Request, Pleasant Street
We request the Council change Ordinance sec 14-120 to allow parking on the north side of Pleasant S1. from
Rantoul S1. to River S1. and prohibit parking on the south side. Currently parking is allowed on the south side
of this section of Pleasant S1. The purpose is to keep vehicles away from the garage entrance of the Depot
44
Square Condominiums so that traffic is unimpeded entering and exiting the underground garage. The
Beverly Fire Department also would like vehicles kept off the south side of the Pleasant street so they have
unimpeded access to the building's fire connection value. These recommendations were approved by the
Parking and Traffic Commission.
Please take the necessary action to amend Chapter 14, Section 120 as follows;
Delete: Sec 14-120 Pleasant Street, north side, from Rantoul Street to River Street.
Add: Sec 14-120 Pleasant Street, south side, from Rantoul Street to River Street.
Very Truly Yours,
Christopher J. Negrotti, Traffic Sergeant
Safety Officer
