I was over at 29 Ashley today when I noticed that DPW (apparently) had marked the street on Ashley Street for striping. This wasn’t entirely unexpected: the residents of Ashley have met several times with a City official who discussed the slowed street plan with them. Not all of them were excited by it, but more meetings were promised.
And that’s what’s unexpected. The City official in charge of the project retired back in July, and since that time no one has heard anything from the City. What’s more, the residents were assured that this would be an experiment – in other words, a study on the effects of the slowed street pattern would be done for one year, so nothing would be installed (or painted) permanently, just in case something didn’t work out and needed to be removed.
This isn’t looking so temporary or experimental! I guess we’ll see.
