AI Summary
This bill aims to improve parking and pedestrian safety in Massachusetts. It requires the installation of safety appurtenances, such as bollards or retaining walls, in commercial buildings with adjacent municipal on-street angle or perpendicular parking, to separate parking spaces from sidewalks and prevent vehicles from entering pedestrian areas. The bill also creates a Pedestrian Safety Design Advisory Group to develop recommendations for rules and regulations governing the installation of these physical safety measures. Additionally, the bill allows insurers to provide discounts to commercial property owners who install the required safety appurtenances. The bill's provisions will go into effect on July 1, 2024, and only apply to commercial buildings permitted after the effective date.
