Alexandria’s Traffic and Parking Board will convene on Monday, Oct. 27, to discuss several transportation-related items in the city.

On the docket is a proposal to allow drivers to pay by phone for on-street parking along three residential streets in Old Town — the 900 Block of Cameron Street, the 200 Block of North Alfred Street and the 200 Block of Wilkes Street. The Board will also discuss an appeal to a curb cut at 1612 Princess Street, proposed travel lane and speed limit reductions on Yoakum Parkway and Reinekers Lane, and the removal of parking spaces for crossing improvements on Cameron Mills Road at Woodland Terrace.

The meeting will be held in person at 7 p.m. in City Council Chambers (301 King Street) and can also be accessed via Zoom.

Public comments will be received at the meeting.

“The public may submit comments in advance to [email protected] no later than 24 hours before the meeting or make public comments through the conference call on the day of the hearing,” according to the city.
