MEETING OF PLANNING BOARD ' March 229 1933 A meeting of the Lexington Planning Board was held in the eon - Terence -room of the Town Office Building on Wednesday evening, March 22, 1933. Messrs. Duffy, Glynn, Kimball, Milne, Scheibe, and Robinson were present; also the secretary. Mr. Trask, Chairman of the Board of Selectmen, also met with the Planning Board for the purpose of discussing a proposed new road to Winchester, meeting a road that the latter town is planning to con struot. He said that the Board of Selectmen is less interested in that project than in a new "Chapter 90" street, extending from the junction of Watertown Street and Concord Avenue, parallel with Pleasant Street, following the brook valley across Massachusette.Ave., the meadows beyond to Lowell Street, and then possibly connecting ' with the Winchester project. A map of the Tows was shown, indicating the line of this proposed new road. Mr. Trask said that there had at one time been a plan to undertake "Chapter 90" work on Pleasant Street itself; but the Selectmen have abandoned that idea in favor of the new location. is He rquested that the Planning Board study this project and, if it =3 approved, see that it is in shape for presentation to the County Commissioners in the Fall. THE WINCHESTER PROJECT Mr. Milne replied to Mr. Trask that the Planning Board had not reported on the proposed extension of High Street, Winchester to a connedtion in Lexington, because of lack of sufficient engineering data; and that in order to arrive at any intelligent opinion with ' respect to any new road through the Pleasant Street and meadow areas, its width, connections, and adjacent developments, a topographical map of the area should be available for careful study.
