[1]Again, it seems that somebody had their ears on at the OSS meeting last Monday night.
This morning I arose to find Treehouse business owner Tom Leneghan and Jason Beudert on College Avenue with a truck load of orange cones, yellow tape and laminated signs stating "Tremont Resident Parking Only."
They were attempting to block off street parking for residents before the bar's sports patrons began arriving.
I did go out to help out with this plan and instead of having them block off an entire section of the street (which they were planning, with good intentions) I just had them place the cones in the spots where residents who lived on this street actually used. I wanted to be reasonable.
They were even kind enough to let us keep several of the cones and use them whenever necessary - the residents could take them out when leaving and bring them in upon their return.
While understood this is only a very temporary solution, it shows a willingness to try on behalf of one business owner and that is progress which is what we need - we need the other business owners to come to the table and put forth the effort to try. Kudos go out to Tom Leneghan and Jason Beudert of the Treehouse.
THANK YOU FOR THE CONES AND THE SIGNS.
