Parking and Problems on Pendleton

· From pages 12 of the print edition

Councilmember Bundles Murdock reported that she had noticed that two of the parking spaces on Pendleton Street beside the Safeway were still governed by eight hour parking meters. A customer of the hair dresser on Pendleton Street complained, Murdock noted, because she was unable to find one for two hour parking. She asked that they be changed to two-hour spaces instead. A change in the Town Code will be required.

Murdock also suggested that Council consider making the Pendleton/Marshall Street intersection a four-way stop, noting that had almost been hit several times there.

Noting that VDOT "would not allow for a four-way stop" at the intersections, Town Administrator Semmes reported that the Town's Maintenance Supervisor was contacting the Department of Transportation about getting stop lines and a crosswalk painted there.

Police Chief Panebianco reported that he met with the Assistant Manager at Salamander Resort to ask that he advise their staff and guests to pay particular attention to the speed limit and stop signs. The Police Department, he said, will be enforcing the traffic laws there regularly.
