New Public Parking Spaces at Kick Stand Cafe

The Board of Selectmen will vote to lease the space for 7 new parking spots at the old Jam N' Java lot, adjacent to Swan Place, see picture.

The Selects plan on leasing the space from the owner, paying up to $10,000 to repave the existing lot, do a bunch of landscaping around the sitting area and paying $1,000 a year for 10 years.

What do you think?

Is the proposed parking area conforming to zoning bylaws in terms of backing into the street?  Do you want to lose the small sitting area and diagonal bikepath crosswalk to force use of Swan Place?  Can the Selectmen appropriate monies for a 10 year lease, or is that the purview of Town Meeting?  Watch the Selectmen not debate this and many other questions that are not vetted by the public, tonight LIVE!
