At the Nov. 18 Transportation & Parking Commission meeting, Bancroft Road neighbors described local parking and driveway visibility problems concentrated near No. 84 and the Round Hill Road intersection. Councilor Deb Clemmer, who spoke with residents in person, said the issue appears localized to a few driveways with steep approaches and short turning radii.

Residents explained that when cars park opposite certain driveways it can be difficult to back out safely; some reported frequently needing to edge into the roadway to improve sight lines. Longtime resident Barbara Snook and Sarah Metcalfe urged limited, targeted actions such as better signage, clearer enforcement of the city's existing distance rules and potential extension of no‑parking zones near specific driveways. Parking Administrator Nancy Forrestal restated the city rules explained during the meeting: no parking within 20 feet of intersections and no parking within 3 feet of driveway edges; there is no automatic prohibition on parking directly opposite a driveway unless a no‑parking zone is designated.

DPW staff said they will consider whether localized signage, targeted no‑parking markings or periodic enforcement could address the problem; residents urged outreach and clearer communication about existing distance requirements before broader restrictions are considered.
