REPORT TO SPECIAL TOWN MEETING
ON WARRANT ARTICLES 10 AND 11
NOVEMBER 28, 1988
This is the report of the Community Planning and Development
Commission (CPDC), given pursuant to law,. on Warrant Articles 10
and 11 of the Special Town Meeting of November 28, 1988. These

what type of building square- footage is to be used to compute the
number of parking spaces required for various types of developments.
Given the many instances of on -site parking shortages in Town, the

Dear. Mr. Chairman,
The Depot Task Force Committee met November 22 to put the finishing
touches on its parking plan. A copy of the plan in its final form is attached
as is a copy of the plan's regulations, which will be distributed to every
resident and nonresident who purchases a permit sticker.
The final version includes the addition of a portion of Linden St. on
which parking will be restricted to residents only from 6:00 AM to 10:30 AM,
Monday through Friday. This change was prompted by an appeal from Linden St.
residents who signed a petition requesting that their street be included in
the parking plan.
Thank you again for the opportunity to participate in this effort and for
your support of our plan.
Your leadership role in trying to resolve traffic and parking problems at
the Reading Depot area is most appreciated by this committee and by those
residents who are affected by these problems.
