This photo shows that there is plenty of room for cars to pass in each direction while cars are parked along the south side of the street. Having a parking lane will help calm traffic, make parking safer, and provide a buffer between traffic and pedestrians on the sidewalk.

Re-striping Pond Street
One of the traffic calming measures for Pond Street discussed by the Winchester Board of Selectmen was re-striping the road to narrow the lanes and possibly add a bike lane along the northern side of the road. Given the number of parked cars that get hit each year (ours included), the Selectmen should consider re-striping and adding a parking lane on the south side of the street.

Tom- extrmemely helpful blog. Great job! As far as re-striping Pond Street goes, I agree that the narrowness is an illusion based on how the lines are currently painted.
