Spring Street Parking Lot

Post date: Jun 22, 2017 6:14:36 PM

The Town operates the parking lot at the bottom of Spring Street via a license from the College which owns the property. The next phase of work in the area is realigning and expanding existing parking, as discussed previously relative to the large stormwater project.

Since the Town maintains the lot, we have been engaged in conversation with the College about design of the lot and improvements they propose to make. Tim, Andrew and I met with their project team to offer recommendations. Those have been incorporated into the attached plan (to be provided prior to meeting - engineers are still revising based on our requests). We support this design as the basis for a new license, understanding that there are further more detailed local reviews with Conservation Commission and Zoning Board of Appeals (Special Permit).

The College will be presenting at the meeting with a plan showing striping and parking lot organization which will provide greater clarity for discussion than the landscaping and stormwater storage plan attached below.
