Boston Edison Grant of Location - 80 Westview Street Boston Edison Representative Carol McManus was present to request a grant of location to provide a new electric service to a commercial building at 80 Westview Street. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to approve the petition of the Boston Edison Company to lay and maintain underground conduits and manholes, with the wires and cables to be placed therein, under the surface of Westview Street: Install conduit southerly, approximately 155 feet east of Maguire Road, a distance of about 12 feet. Traffic Safety Advisory Committee Senior Engineer David Carbonneau representing Traffic Safety Advisory Committee Chair Peter Chalpin presented several recommendations of the Committee at its meeting on September 14. Forest Court - No Parking The Committee discussed a request from Mrs. Nadia Gilman, 22 Forest Street, for a new No Parking regulation on the odd numbered side of Forest Court. The request is supported by all of the Forest Court residents. Parking has been a concern of the residents for several years. However, Forest Court is an unaccepted street, and until recently, the Town had no jurisdiction to institute traffic regulations on unaccepted streets. Now, with the consent of the abutters, the Town may institute regulations, and the Committee therefore recommends approval of the request. We recommend installing two signs. Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to approve the recommendation of the Traffic Safety Advisory Committee. Fox Run Lane at East Street - STOP Signs The Committee met with Mrs. Jeffrey Walker, 10 Fox Run Lane, and four other neighbors to discuss their request for STOP signs on Fox Run Lane at the intersection of East Street. Since the warrants for STOP signs are satisfied at this location, the Committee recommends approval of the request. In addition, the Committee recommends installation of a crosswalk on East Street at this intersection in order to enhance pedestrian safety. To reach the existing sidewalk on East Street, Fox Run Lane residents must cross East Street at the intersection and the Committee feels a new crosswalk is an important addition.
