Driveway Between Baybank and Liquor Store Bob Hutchinson explained the reasons for his desire to eliminate traffic from the driveway between Baybank and the liquor store: . There is a public safety problem and a liability problem for the town; • The "no left turn" sign is often violated; . Exiting from the driveway interrupts the traffic flow; . People try to cross Mass. Ave. there, although there is no cross walk. The bank representatives were concerned with the effect on business if no exit is allowed to Mass. Avenue. The liquor store owner is concerned about deliveries if the driveway is closed to traffic. The possibility of making the driveway one way, with no exit to Mass. Ave., was discussed.
