PLANNING BOARD MEETING July 25, 1933 ' A meeting of the Lexington Planning Board was held in the Town Office Building on Tuesday eVenilg, July 25, 1933, the following being present: Messrs. Duffy, Glynn, Kimball, Milne, Scheibe, and Robinson; also the secretary. WATERTOWN STREET_ RECONSTRUCTION The Town Engineer presented a tentative layout for a new road from Massachusetts Avenue, near Alderman►s Corner, to the projected new Concord Avenue, which it would join at a point east of the junc- tion of Bowman Street and Watertown Street, The road would follow the low land along Sickle Brook, generally parallel with Pleasant St. It was the opinion of the Board, however, that the junction with the new State Road should be at the present crossing of Watertown Street, ' so as to provide more practical connection with its continuation past Belmont Spring Club toward Waverly and the Newtons. It was also sug- gested that it might be preferable, and less in cost, to undertake in- stead of an entirely new road, a widening and reconstruction of Pleasant Street, and working out an intersection with the new Concord Road some- where in the neighborhood of Hatch's Pond, perhaps abandoning a portion of Watertown Street which is narrow and winding. This would also avoid creating another major intersection with Massachusetts Avenue, the pre- sent corner of Pleasant Street and Mass. Avenue being already adequate as to width and of good alignment. Mr. Cosgrove agreed to investigate this matter and report later. MARY A. WHELAN PETITION ' A letter was received from Doss Mary A. Whelan of 259 Bedford St., asking for a change in the Zoning Law which would bring her property into a 0-1 Zone, so that she can operate a tea-room and overnight house.
