Overnight Parking coming to Summit
By Kerry Kohring
SNA board member
The city is unilaterally instituting overnight on-street parking throughout the city without the approval of residents or their elected representatives, the City Council.
According to the city’s web site, what began last year on the West End as a “pilot overnight parking program” will be expanded to all other parts of the city “through the spring and summer, neighborhood by neighborhood.” There is no specific timetable as yet for implementation in the Summit neighborhood, but when it comes, this is what will happen.

Water flowing from supplemental pipes
Water has begun flowing through an above-ground system of pipes and hoses to a small segment of the Summit neighborhood in preparation for below-ground work on storm-sewer lines.
Crews from the contractor for the Narragansett Bay Commission have hooked flexible blue hoses from pipes along the street to the outside faucets of residences along portions of Overhill, Bayard, Eighth, Sarah and Brewster between Hope and Sarah. The workers then turned off the main intake valves inside the homes and water flowed into rather than out of the faucets, in effect providing free unmetered service.

By Howie Gladstone
SNA board member
Rhode Runner, a store dedicated to supporting athletes on foot, has recently opened in the Summit Neighborhood.
Principal owners Bob Beschoff and his wife, Colleen, moved the business to 657 North Main St. from South Main Street, where it had been since 2001, to better serve customers on the East Side. It has a grand opening sale running through April 21.
Both Beschoffs have been involved with local road races and marathons, plus Bob has been a footwear developer with Brooks and now with New Balance. Their staff members all have extensive backgrounds in local events as well.

Temporary water-supply pipes part of massive drain project
By Anthony Arrigo
SNA board member
The installation of temporary water-supply pipes above ground in the Summit neighborhood is one more example of the Narragansett Bay Commission’s (NBC) construction work on the Combined Sewer Overflow Program (CSOP), the affects of which will be felt for three to four more years.
The CSOP is a $500-million-plus project required to meet standards set by the 1972 U.S. Clean Water Act to reduce the overflow of sewage into regional waterways. Roughly 10 years ago, the NBC embarked on a comprehensive abatement program in exchange for a waiver from federal non-compliance fines, which could have been as much as $25,000 per day, per violation. The project is scheduled for completion in 2015.
