<br />support the plan as submitted by the Planning Department. Mike said considering the <br />cost of the project, not having a traffic study is not good planning. The committee <br />voted to stick with our original request that the town do a traffic study before the center <br />design is implemented toward the goal of making Mass Ave a truly complete street. <br />Arlington Heights is a good example of good traffic flow with single lanes. <br /> <br />Needham Bikes <br />: Peggy reported that the bicycle committee in Needham is promoting <br />a 7-mile rail-trail as part of a longer corridor.
