Description
Parking on Willard Street switched from One side to the other this past year. This is fine. Although trying to turn from Brookes Ave onto Willard st in either direction forces the car coming from Brookes to basically be in the middle of the north side of Willard street to see if on coming traffic is coming. When looking left towards Pearl street the parked cars block a good portion of the view of oncoming traffic. Perhaps two parked cars need to be removed so traffic can SAFELY enter Willard street.

Was the angle and length of the no parking zone tested before and after application of the lines?
It looks like Brookes Ave at the intersection at Willard is physically lower/descends so if in a car at the stop sign and even protruding past the row of parked cars on Willard is physically lower which makes it even harder to see oncoming traffic. Please show us the tests that were done to make sure cars pulling on to Willard Street from Brookes will be able to do so safely.

Have reached out to DPW to find out what the status is and have not heard back.
It is hard enough to pull out of Brookes Ave in good weather, winter is coming - the image above tells you what it is like to pull out of Brookes Ave in the winter.
