A buffer zone, separating the National park from the residential development is planned as well as relocation of Old Bedford Road to reduce traffic congestion. The plan is contingent upon rezoning of the entire parcel to PUD zoning to allow mixed residential, and commercial use. A Special. Town Meeting held in Lincoln on June 1 6th had approved the rezoning and the purchase of 31 acres between the National park and Massport . A referendum was held on June 17th for override of the l of Prop. 2 1/2. Mfr. Eddison suggested a meeting with the Lincoln Selectmen after the outcome of the referendum is known. He added that Lincoln is interested in commercial development not only for financial support for the housing, but for assistance from the commercial developer with realignment of old Bedford Rd. and Virginia Rd. He was not in favor of the latter process which might be used by developers to gain re'ronings. He saw a threat regarding traffic impact from the commercial development, which could be intensive.
