[OT] looking for Medford traffic regulations
Sorry for going a mile afield. If there's a decent community forum/site for Medford (or south Medford) I would appreciate if someone could point me in that direction. I just moved from Teele Sq to about a mile north of Davis Sq in Medford.
What I am looking for is the current parking regulations for the City of Medford. Specifically, this would be all of the rules and regulations passed and amended by the city Traffic Commission.
As of October 2002, the title of the document I am searching for was "TRAFFIC RULES and REGULATIONS, CITY OF MEDFORD TRAFFIC COMMISSION". I have that document, taken from some non-public computer systems at City Hall, thanks to a few helpful folks. I also have a one-page addendum from December 2002 that was distributed as a flyer to the PD and the Hearings Office.
What I do not have is any further information on any additions, amendments, or deletions to those rules and regulations in the past 11 years. As a new resident, I want a current copy of these regulations so that I can be informed and ensure I do not violate them.
I have spoken on the phone with the Police Department, Police Department Traffic & Accident Investigation Unit, Collector's Office, Law Department, City Clerk's Office, and Hearings Office. I have spoken in person with the Police Department, Police Department Traffic & Accident Investigation Unit, Law Department and City Solicitor, City Clerk's Office, Parking Clerk's Office, Mayor's Office, and Hearings Office. I have also spoken on the phone with individuals from the Office of Community Development, and in person with the Office of Community Development and Department of Public Works, the heads of which are members of the Traffic Commission. I have left voicemails and/or in-person messages for the secretary of the Traffic Commission (who is out on personal leave, and I am told by multiple people is my last resort to find information related to Traffic Commission business, and whose office is inaccessible in her absence), the Police Chief (who is also the Traffic Commissioner and the chairman of the Traffic Commission), Lauren DiLorenzo (on the traffic commission and head of the Office of Community Development), Paul Gere (on the traffic commission and head of the Department of Public Works), and home voicemails for Felix Blackburn and Beth Govani, citizen members of the traffic commission. I have been told four possible dates and two possible locations for the next Traffic Commission meeting, and been unable to confirm either of those pieces of information with either of those locations.
At this point I am prepared to wait until next week and attempt to contact the secretary who has been out, but I am not hopeful. I expect to find that the regulations in question are not published. Can anyone offer advice on how I should proceed (assume I place no value on my personal time)?
