Description

There is a Residential Parking Zone on this block of Lawrence Street. The City has issued parking permits to employees of Planned Parenthood, without consulting residents of the block, to allow them to park on the street. These sometimes numerous cars parked on both sides of the street create safety hazards for motorists and pedestrians alike because they block sight lines and narrow the width of the street for drivers, making it difficult or impossible for two cars to pass. There have been many near accidents at the intersection of Lawrence Street and Whitney Avenue because of this decreased width and the blocked sight lines. This is exacerbated by an uptick in speeding traffic on Lawrence Street since the institution of traffic calming on Edwards Street and will be further exacerbated by the aftermath of a significant snowfall.
