-2- 3. This Committee recognizes the generosity of the group involved in this project, and understanding all the effort involved in satisfying all the town committees, wishes to express its appreciation for this donation. b. Driveway Between Bank & Liquor Store The Committee' s approach to this request was discussed. Dave Wells declined comments on this issue since his business is adjacent. More information is needed before suggestions can be made. Comments and information will be sought from the following groups before an informed discussion can be held: 1 . Abutters of the driveway 2. Fire Department 3. Police Department 4. Chamber of Commerce Members Bob Ossman commented that all alleys and driveways in the Center are poorly marked for traffic. There are no stop signs, no information at all for drivers using these by-ways as to the priorities and rights of way. The Decelle's exit and Clarke Street and Muzzey Street problems are similar. In January, we will try to identify the problems hopefully with some data to support the issues. IV. Fire Damaged Area Three representatives of the owners of the Mass.
