As provided in section C5-6 C of the Town Charter, the undersigned electors hereby request that the Moderator place on the agenda of the Representative Town Meeting the matter of how best to supplement and improve downtown parking.

Westport is a vibrant town which owes great deal to its downtown and its  merchants for whom adequate, convenient parking is a priority. The scheme which is making its way through the approvals process, involving an unnecessary complete restriping of the Parker Harding lot without loading spaces and with parallel (as opposed to angled) parking is inadequate and poorly conceived. A parking deck on the Baldwin lot will provide additional parking in an easily accessible location at affordable cost without the need to encroach upon the town green. If you want to keep Westport vibrant, sign our petition so we can make the case to the RTM
