Council denies request to remove Broadway bus lane during construction project
The Traffic and Parking Commission of Chelsea City convened on June 3, 2025, to address several key issues, including the approval of previous meeting minutes and a request regarding the bus lane on Broadway.

The meeting began with a motion to approve the minutes from the May 6, 2025, meeting. The motion was seconded and passed unanimously.

A significant topic of discussion was a communication from Councilor Tesh, who requested the temporary removal of the dedicated bus lane on Broadway due to ongoing construction. The commission reviewed this request, noting that the removal would involve substantial capital work and could complicate the current construction efforts. Concerns were raised about the safety implications of encouraging drivers to disregard the bus lane, as it could lead to dangerous traffic conditions.

After deliberation, the commission voted to deny the request to remove the bus lane, with all members in favor of the decision.

The meeting underscored the commission's commitment to maintaining safe traffic management practices amid ongoing construction in the city.
