In this instance, it means a minor roadway/street., not as important as a main highway.ie a by-road or cross-road used by common right.
Hey, you ask the question at that Local History Meeting in January. Maybe the speaker knows!!!!!

Ah yes, comes up in the dictionary now :
vic⋅i⋅nal
vicinity 
–adjective 1. of, pertaining to, or belonging to a neighborhood or district. 2. neighboring; adjacent. 3. Crystallography. noting a plane the position of which varies very little from that of a fundamental plane of the form.
(Pity this online one can't spell neighbourhood or neighbouring !)
Now going to look up 'Chrystallography' LOL.
