Your letter of August 22nd, addressed to Commissioner Sheridan, ' <br />has been referred to me for reply. <br />It is my understanding that Mr. Snow of your Planning Board has <br />recently been in this.office talking with our Design Engineer, <br />Mr. Hue and our Location Engineer, MrO. Whitcomb regarding several <br />points of interest to the people of Lexington relative to the re- <br />design of Route 2. <br />Part of this discussion resolved around the treatment of Spring <br />Street. Mr. Snow was told that the primary purpose for an inter- <br />change at Spring Street would be for the benefit of Lexington <br />traffic, and if in the opinion of the elected officials of Lex- <br />ington ramps were not warranted at this point, certainly serious <br />consideration would be given to omitting these ramps. <br />The plan used at the recent hearing showed two ramps, one in the <br />northeast quadrant and one in the southwest. However, the fact <br />that these ramps were shown at this time does not necessarily in- <br />dicate that this is a final decision as far as this Department <br />is concerned. <br />I feel that a letter stating the opinion of the Planning Board the <br />Board of Selectmen, and signed by the members of the Board of <br />Selectmen stating their preference as to the treatment at Spring <br />Street would be sufficient. However, if it is felt that a confer- , <br />ence is necessary, I would be happy to arrange one at a later date. <br />Very truly yours, <br />/s/ E.J.McCarthy <br />Chief Engineer <br />1 <br />
