1 <br />1QETING OF PLANNING BOARD <br />May 14, 1945 <br />Present <br />Messrs. Houdlette, Richards, Tyorthen, Nickerson,.Ferguson <br />and Cromwell. <br />Dumping <br />In response to a letter from the Planning Board in regard <br />to dumping along the railroad tracks, the selectmen replied that they <br />realized the existence of this trouble but that there was difficulty <br />in controlling it due to a shortagecd'manpower. They said the <br />matter would be referred to the Board of Health. After considering <br />the various remedies the Planning Board informally concluded it <br />would be best to talk with the selectmen again suggesting that the <br />matter be placed in the hands of the police. <br />Rapid Transit <br />As a result of an informal discussion on the proposed rapid <br />' transit system which would end at Arlington Heights and still leave <br />Lexington commuters with the necessity of traveling to Arlington <br />Heights by bus, it was concluded that the proposed plan was not <br />satisfactory from Lexington's viewpoint. <br />Marrett Road <br />Mr. Houdlette said that the Planning Board should be <br />thinking over possible treatment of Marrett Road. It is a question <br />of whether Marrett Road between its two intersections with Massa- <br />chusetts Avenue should merely be resurfaced by the town or made into <br />a secondary highway with 800 feet sight distance. In the latter <br />event State and Federal funds would be used and there would have <br />to be large land takin�Ts either to widen the existing right of way <br />or to relocate it elsewhere in part. It seemed to be the consensus <br />of opinion that it would.be preferable merely to resurface the road. <br />Adjourned sine die. <br />Res tfully fitted, <br />Clerk, <br />
