Here are the one way signs as posted on the Chicopee ends of these streets.

My second photo may be confusing due to which side of the street signage is posted on. On Sundays, traffic may travel from Chicopee Street down Celestine Street and from Meadow Street down St. Anthony Street, but not the reverse.

I have lived across the street for over 30 Years and this one way on Sunday signs were supposed to be removed 10 years ago since one of the original priests decided that it was an inconvenience since there were less church patrons now and it was also suggested by most of the patrons anyway which prompted the decision.

I have lived her over 30 years and a patron to the church. The signs were supposed to be removed over 15years ago since the original priest stated it was an inconvenience as there have been less patrons to the church as it was years ago. The church maintenance got permission a long tome ago to remove them but may have forgotten one. This was also suggested by the church patrons as well. There are a few other issues now than many years ago , 1) less cars on the road back about 15 years ago, 2) if we have snow (on a Sunday) and a Parking ban there are more cars on the streets. Times have changes and the patrons and Church made the decision a long time ago.

I will check if the ordinance is still on the books. If they are I will fix it.

Thanks Councilman!

Rich,
Thanks for weighing in here! I don't live on this street, so I will defer to your experience on the issue. I do not remember this decision 10 years ago, but I trust your memory of the situation. I agree, it doesn't seem like a street that really needs the one way signage, but it does really need the signage to be clear, which it currently is not.

Councilor Courchesne,
If the one way ordinance was in fact removed, the signs on the Chicopee Street end of the street should be removed so that drivers coming from that direction do not erroneously believe it is a one way street. If the one way ordinance was not removed, the signs on the Meadow Street sign need to be put back up.

Thank you both for weighing in on this! I am listing this as reopened because until the two signs on Chicopee St are removed or the two on Meadow St. are replaced, this is indeed a safety risk.

Councilor,
I do know for a fact that St Anthony's street did have the one way on Sunday AM only due to the fact that it is a wider street than Celestine and the Main door to the Church is on St Anthony, but throughout the years it was changed, per the church.
Thanks for listening!
Keep up the good work!

There are ordinances for both these signs. I will be submitting an order to delete them. Thank you.

Thank you for using Chicopee Connect. Your issue has been corrected.

This was already addressed by the councilman and theissue was closed, signs were no longer in use about 15 to 20 years ago, per church and city.

Ordinances have been stricken and hopefully the signs will come down soon. Thanks for your input Rich.
