Nantucket DPW PLUS

The brush along the road (1 Somerset Rd property) at the Hummock Pond/Somerset Rd/Vesper Ln. makes it very difficult to see the Stop Sign. The brush needs to be cut back for safety.

Currently there is an intersection sign near 16/18 Hummock Pond Rd. I feel it should be replaced with a "Stop Ahead" sign -- it's just safer especially in the summer when folks aren't familiar with our roadways.

In July, I requested an accessible parking space across from 8 Cliff Road and I would like to cancel this request. Thank you.

Please install a wheelchair accessible parking space in front of the Nantucket Hotel where the silver vehicle is parked. This parking space is the best location for an accessible parking space because it is directly in front of the hotel's accessible wheelchair lift and it is the shortest route to the accessible wheelchair lift.

There are two accessible parking spaces on Federal Street near Broad Street. This space is the second accessible parking space from Broad Street. Please relocate the accessible parking space post and sign to the front of this accessible parking space. Accessible vans with a side entrance cannot park in this space. The ramp that the accessible van uses so the wheelchair user can enter or exit the van lands right where the post is located. Therefore, it is impossible for an accessible van with a side entrance to use this space. Also, the regulations state that the accessible parking sign should be located at the top of every accessible parking space. Thank you.

what are possibilities of making Commercial St one way from Washington St to New Whale St? it is a one lane, cobblestone road that cannot support two way travel without difficulty

A catch basin cleaning will not resolve this safety issue
The catch basin is cleaned and a week later it is filled again, when 8 employees bike daily and are not allowed to have cars on island to reduce traffic but are hit by cars because of this unsafe intersection
Pumping a faulty catch basin will not cut it.
The pothole puddle needs to be filled in and a culvert diversion needs to be maintained.

Please see the attached photo images 5730 and 5731 of the Yellow No Parking Stripes on Traders Lane (downtown next to the Summer Street Church). As you can see in the photos someone has spray painted over a portion of the yellow stripes with black spray paint. This modification has the effect of extending the open space for parking along the lane from two spaces to three.

Please also see image 5732 showing the damage to our fence as a result of cars and/or delivery trucks trying to squeeze past the parked cars on the street or from cars trying to parallel park which happens when there are three cars parked there. This damage to our fence is a recurring problem. I have letters written to the town concerning this problem that go back decades.

Traders Lane is extremely narrow. Realistically, it is too narrow to allow for parked cars. The only way to park cars and allow safe passage is for the cars to park all the way on the sidewalk running alongside the church and to limit the parking to two cars. If there is three cars parked, the car parked in the middle of three cars can not pull out of their parking space without hitting our fence. Even if only two cars are allowed there and they are pulled all the way onto the sidewalk, no emergency vehicle could pass.

For these reasons, we would like to see the parking spaces on Traders Lane alongside the church removed all together. If that is not acceptable, at the very least we would appreciate the No Parking Stripes be repainted yellow, as they were prior to the vandalism.

One other option worth consideration is to only allow parking there on Sunday mornings when the church is holding service.

Thank you for your consideration. We look forward to your reply.
