    For anyone wondering why a curb cut got charter righted, it’s because there’s already a driveway at 67 Inman. The developer owner wants the driveway to be wide enough to fit two cars next to each other and make it easier for 18ft long trucks to fit. Basically every neighbor spoke against this last week as it would remove at least one if not more street parking spaces.
