12 Minute Meters On Massachusets Street Proposed By Commission
The commission voted to install eight short time meters on both sides of Massachusetts Street to speed traffic and increase parking. Four houses at 933 and 341 Vt St and 37 and 41 N. H. St will be torn down for parking lots with wrecking starting immediately. Construction on the lots likely won’t begin until next spring.
