As part of our work with the City of Providence to revitalize the North Main Street corridor, we hope you’ll respond today to a very short and anonymous three-question survey to help us understand the distinct identity of North Main Street, Broad Street, and Elmwood Avenue. We hope to understand each street’s character well enough to define a distinct theme, or identity, for each. This survey is being hosted by the City’s Arts, Culture + Tourism department.
About 30 Summit residents peppered City Parking Administrator Leo Perrotta with questions Tuesday night about the lifting of the overnight-parking ban, sometimes resorting to angry shouting.
He was at Summit Commons at the invitation of the Summit Neighborhood Association to explain the details of the city’s plan, but as SNA President Dean Weinberg said in his introduction of Perrotta, residents were more interested in the “why” rather than the “how.”
Workers flush the water lines Monday, June 18, as regular service is restored to Bayard Street. The crew said Overhill Road would be turned on next as the above-ground pipes and blue-hose connections move to the Sixth Street area.
Lippitt Park visitors enjoy the Henry Bowen Anthony fountain while the farmers market thrives in the background.
The proposed lifting of the overnight-parking ban in the Summit neighborhood has provoked strong feelings and spirited discussion, some of which have taken the haiku form. Some writers have taken liberties with the traditional format, but here they are, from first to most recent.
A PDF file of the petition, excerpted below, is now available.
Resident Permit Parking Program Opt-Out Petition [PDF]
Excerpt:
Each household of a proposed Resident Permit Parking area is entitled to submit a notice of objection petition. Any household that objects to the program must forward a signed, dated notice of objection petition to the City Park ing Administrator.
If 66 2/3% of the households on any given street within the district object to the on-street program, that street shall be excluded from the district.
(Note: One vote per household will be permitted.)
The Parking Administrator will review the objection petition(s) and the requested street(s) will be removed from the district once the petition(s) are verified.
A notice will be sent to households on those streets remaining in the district notifying them of the streets that will be excluded from the district. In addition, mapping will be updated to reflect the approved street list.
