Article 29, Cosgrove Property, Hartwell Avenue and Wood Street: The Board <br />discussed correspondence between the State Department of Public Works and <br />the Town relative to traffic improvements on Bedford Street and Hartwell <br />Avenue. Samuel Altreuder, representing Spaulding and Slye Corp. , was <br />present for the discussion. <br />Mrs. Wheaton commented that the correspondence does not give any more <br />commitment than existed in March, 1981. Mr. Sorensen commented that per- <br />haps the matter has been clarified negatively in that the Town has now <br />found out the State is reluctant to undertake certain elements of the Town's <br />proposal. Mrs. Smith commented that there was a consensus in the Town in <br />February and now the State is asking the Town to develop a consensus. Further- <br />more, the State has changed the priorities from those presented in the Town's <br />proposal. Mrs. Wheaton noted that the Town would have to acquire the land for <br />the widened right-of-way. Mr. Sorensen noted that the most important part of <br />the Town's plan, i.e., the Bedford Street widening, was put in the study cate- <br />gory by the State D.P.W. <br />Mrs. Wheaton asked Mr. Altreuder whether, in the light of this correspondence, <br />Spaulding and Slye was willing to cut out any of the three proposed buildings <br />or reduce the amount of floor space. Mr. Altreuder did not respond positively. <br />120.
