ARUNDEL — There was much debate regarding
potentially allowing parking on Limerick Road for the Eastern Trail at
the Board of Selectmen meeting held on Tuesday, May 29.
Catherine
Rush, an Arundel resident, was first to voice her concerns, questioning
whether any measures have been made to make sure children and families
parking on Limerick Road, and inevitably stepping onto the road, will be
protected.
Sam Rush, Catherine's husband, also voiced his concerns about the parking proposal and called it a "poor idea."
"I don't think there is safe access for parking on Limerick Road," Rush explained.
Resident
John Bell disagreed, saying he doesn't see the harm in allowing at
least a temporary parking option for residents who want to use the
trail.
Dan Dubois, Arundel resident and member
of the Planning Board, agreed with Bell and said it's safer to park at
the trail than have people park at M.L. Day School or the Town Hall and
walk down the busy road.
Tad Redway, Arundel Town Planner, proposed the idea of increased signage to warn drivers of bikers and pedestrians.
