The meeting adjourned at 9:4.5 p.m. <br />Levi G. Burnell, Jr. <br />Clerk <br />ADDENDUM <br />August 27,1957 <br />Thomas S. Gri ndl e, Chairman <br />Planning Board, <br />Lexington, Massachusetts <br />Dear Mr. Grindle: <br />' This is in reply to your letter dated June 4, addressed <br />to Mr. Whitcomb, stating that a Town meeting will be held on <br />June 24 to take action on the rezoning of certain property on <br />,which Filene's propose to build a regional shopping center, and <br />requesting this Department's decisions and policies at two <br />locations that are to be reconstructed as part of the proposed <br />Route 2 improvement in Lexington. <br />1. Spring Street - The Department's plans call for the <br />construction of a partial clover -leaf at this location to <br />handle anticipated traffic volumes which will be reached in <br />1975. It is intended to construct this interchange regardless <br />of whether or not the land abutting Route 2 at Spring Street is <br />zoned for commercial purposes. <br />2. Access to Ramps at Route 128 Interchange - Route 128 is <br />presently laid out as a limited access expressway. On comple- <br />tion of the proposed improvements to Route 2, this highway will <br />also be laid out as a limited access way. The interchange ramps <br />between these two facilities will necessarily carry high volumes <br />at relatively high velocities. No access will, therefore, be <br />allowed to any of the ramps of this interchange for either <br />private or public roads. <br />Very truly yours, <br />/s/ Carl A. Sheridan <br />Commissioner <br />
