Resident asks for timeline and parking plan as Harrington street work is rescheduled

During public participation at the March 5 meeting, resident Rick Block of 207 Cambridge asked the commission for a timeline for planned work on Harrington — work that did not occur the previous year — and raised concerns about traffic and access for large vehicles during construction. "I'd like to see a timeline for when that's gonna happen," Block told commissioners, and suggested limiting parking to one side of narrow streets such as Wellington, Cressland, Wellesley and Cambridge while Harrington is being repaired.

Block said the change would be temporary but important for residents who need reliable access to and from their homes. The commission acknowledged the comment; no formal directive or vote on street parking changes was recorded in the meeting minutes.

Why it matters: Residents living on streets adjacent to Harrington raised access concerns tied to anticipated construction impacts. The resident asked for clearer communication on scheduling so households can plan accordingly.

Next steps: No timeline was provided during the meeting; follow-up would be necessary from city staff or the Department of Public Services to provide specific scheduling and any temporary parking regulations.
