page 2 3.17.73 ' Article 54, regarding funds for community development. A follow-up meeting will be held next Thursday. The Planning Board will pro- pose at that time that all groups support appropriation of study funds to be expended under the supervision of the Planning Board with the help of an advisory board like that proposed by the Town Manager, for various study purposes. Dr. Clarke and Mrs. Brown will formalize a list of such studies as examples. If a new board to expend money on planning studies is needed, its creation should be approached by revising the structure of government directly through the customary procedures. At the request of Mr. Costello, as SILC representative, a draft of a statement by Bob Rader regarding accesses to Hanscom Field was reviewed. Mr. Rader needed Lexington input over the weekend. The board supports the presently proposed connection from Route 2 to Hanscom Drive, takes no position on a more westerly Brooks Rd. access, supports the formerly proposed belt road connecting to the proposed Hartwell Ave. connector to Route 128, opposes all plans involving the "upgrading" or more intensive use of Wood St. for airport access, and points out that the redesign and reconstruction of Bedford St., Lexington (Routes 4-225) should be part of any plan involving Hartwell Ave. and Great Road. The Board will meet at 7 p.m. on Monday, March 19, because two ' members must be present at precinct meetings at 7:30 to break ties in town meeting member elections. This meeting will cope with any documents before it which require no debate. A special meeting will be held on Thursday, March 22 at 7:30, to complete final reports on Town Meeting Articles. The meeting adjourned at 1:20 p.m. Thomas F. Costello, Clerk 1 ART. 54,FUNDS FOR COMM.DEV. HANSCOM FLD. ACCESSES
