Description

Traffic Cones placed all along Beacon St. from Spring Street continuing past the old East School. There are a few dozen orange traffic cones placed all along the curb line of Beacon St. They do not appear to have any traffic control purpose, there is no roadwork apparent and there are no signs indicating any parking restrictions. There is no snow on the ground and we're certainly not in South Boston saving shoveled spaces this time of year. If they are there to suggest that no one park there due to the ball fields at the Old East School, it comes across as unwelcoming to fellow residents. Most if not all of these homes have their own driveways, so it's hard to imagine a lack of parking for residents. I have not seen this anywhere else in town that I can recall. These cones are an eyesore and should be removed. If the town wants to impose parking restrictions they should post proper and more aesthetically pleasing signs.
