Gayer Supt, of Public Works Lexington, Massachusetts Dear Sir: I wish to acknowledge receipt of your letter dated March 4P 1958 in which you asked several questions and made sore comments concerning the design and construction of the Bedford Airport Access Roads. Relative to questions 1, 2, & 3 and advice requested in your recent letter dated April 4, 19581 please be informed that this particular project will be processed under Chap- ter 718 of the Acts of 1956. The Commonwealth will ac- quire the right of way as a State highway and when the work has been completed, the layout will revert to the Town of Lexington for maintenance. It will not be a limited access layout; therefore, access can be controlled by the Town after transfer of ownership. In answer to comment #4, it has been decided that Westview Street will be closed at the railroad crossing. The 16" water main installation mentioned under comment #5 and outlined by plan in your letter of April 4, 1958 will be included in our contract, according to your request, with the understanding that the Town of Lexington will re- imburse the Commonwealth for the increased cost of this betterment based on contract bid prices. Abandoned sections of pavement will be removed and the areas loamed and seeded per your comment #6. Water and sewer alterations necessitated by the reconstruc- tion of Bedford Street will be included in the contract in
