eliminates the crossover of Chelsea and Bennington Street traffic by making Chelsea Street the main route through the square. Bennington Street traffic headed north into the square is separated from Chelsea Street by a large park ing lot defined by traffic islands. Drivers who want to stay on Ben nington Street will have to turn right in front of Jeveli's Restaurant, and then left onto the continuation of Bennington. Another parking lot in the trianglular area in front of Jeveli's Restaurant would help de fine the turn. The plan also features a large parking lot in Eagle Squ~re defined by traffic islands and a sidewalk.

Marie Mucci O'Shea, director of the East Boston Chamber of Com merce told Dimino she was worried that the parking planned for the square would turn into ail-day park ing for North Shore commuters who use the Wood Island T station. Dimino said the city could prevent that from happening by issuing spe cial parking stickers for busine_ssts and their e~ployees , and by stnctly enforcing time limits in the lots. Joseph Alessandro, owner of Ales sandro 1-Hour Cleaners in Day Square, thought the whole plan sounded a Httle grandiose, and suggested the city try enforcement instead.
