Selectmen’s Office
Shade Street Traffic SafetyPresented to the Lexington Board of SelectmenOctober, 2013
How we arrived here –a brief history.•Traffic and speeding have been an issue for a long while on Shade Street, but it has progressively worsened in the past few years.•It is a old, narrow street with rock walls and trees, many houses, and it goes from windy stretches with virtually no site lines to long straightaways (the longest is ¼ mile) where speeding easily occurs. It is adjacent to Routes 128 and 2, and much of South Lexington’s commercial property base.•The current active discussions of traffic –and specifically the excessive speed of traffic –has been going on since 2008 or longer, when the Lexington Technology Park/Shire project started in earnest.•In 2008 the problem was considered enough of an issue – which the rezoning of LTP would only exacerbate ‐that a Traffic Calming Study was authorized by the Town, using mitigation funds provided by the LTP expansion project.•It took until 2012 for the study to be completed, at which time it was determined that there was a speeding problem of 6‐8 mph (we think it is higher due to a poorly designed study) over the posted speed limit of 25mph.This ultimate ‘finding’ was no surprise to anyone who lives on Shade Street.
What Happened as a result of the Traffic Calming StudyDPW, the Police Department and the Traffic Safety Advisory Committee (TSAC) agreed to the following (with limited feedback from residents) in Spring 2012:•Post (2) speed‐monitoring signs on a small section of the main ¼‐mile straightaway on Shade.•Place side‐stripes and sharrows along the length of Shade Street.•Use stripes and cross‐hatches in certain intersections.•More aggressive traffic calming measures (speed bumps, tables, narrowed intersections, etc…) suggested/requested by the residents were not considered in lieu of these initial basic steps.•The speed indicator signs were installed in late Fall 2012. The street markings were installed in late summer 2013, about 16 months after they were green‐lighted.
Factors impacting the current situation•In the summer of 2012 –after the traffic study was completed ‐Shade Street was reconstructed and repaved, so what was a potholed and deteriorating street which people would speed on, is now a smooth street that people speed even faster on.•Traffic has increased with the expansion and the rezoning of Shire. It will continue to climb as South Lexington businesses grow in an improving economy, and as Shire and Ledgemont grow their campuses to the capacity approved in their rezoning. Plus there are approximately 25 or so new residences on Shade & Cary.•With Routes 128 and 2 unable to handle the increasing volumes –in part due to the rezoning and development in South Lexington –our neighborhood bears the brunt of people avoiding back‐ups by cutting through side streets.You can tell when there is a traffic jam on 128, because 100’s of cars use Shade and surrounding streets to get around the back‐ups. Shade Street becomes a speedway.•With the addition of the light at Marrett and Spring, more traffic uses Shade Street as a work‐around to avoid the back‐ups there. The light has exacerbated the situation.•Shade Street is transitioning from small, older homes, to larger homes with more school‐aged children. More kids, more cars, more buses and pedestrians.
Where are we at today•Smooth pavement and increased traffic loads have made things even worse.•We appreciate and are thankful for the basic traffic calming efforts, but no one expected signs and stripes to significantly change driving habits. And they have not (see our blog for multiple speeding examples). http://shadest.blogspot.com/•Coming from Spring Street down Shade, some drivers may hit the brakes when they see the speed indicator signs flashing, but at that point they are going 35mph on a ¼ mile straightaway, so they might get down to 30‐32mph. Then they speed up once they pass the sign.•Driving up Shade toward Spring, drivers see the speed indicator sign at the very start of the straightaway, so they have plenty of space to accelerate and speed once they pass the sign.•Side‐Stripes do narrow the travel lanes and give a space for pedestrians, but now drivers use the middle of the street and go just as fast. During AM and PM peak, when traffic volume necessitates two‐way passing regularly, aggressive drivers ignore signage and the narrowed travel lanes seem to give a false sense of security to the bicycles and pedestrians.•2 accidents that we know of in the past 2 months; one last week at Shade & Fairbanks.•It has taken 5+ years to not solve a factual, serious, dangerous issue on our Street. And re‐zoning and its effects have made things worse. Residents are increasingly alarmed and angry.
Speeding Examples
What we are asking to please happen next•We want a safer complete street. Safe for all users. Not only residents, but lunchtime walkers from Shire and other businesses, bikers, drivers, etc…•We need to slow down the traffic before something tragic occurs.•The Town green‐lighted a traffic calming process 5+ years ago, and what has happened since then is that conditions are worse. •At this point, we are asking for more concrete solutions.•The long straightaway at the top of Shade is too dangerous. It is too easy to speed, and enough people are cutting through now that a dangerous situation is at a critical mass. Instead of less‐than‐half‐measures such as stripes, we need barriers such as speed tables/bumps which will prevent drivers from gaining enough speed to become dangerous.Speed Bumps are not a panacea, but the Town has installed them on Middle Street and on Davis Road to good effect. Or look at examples from Belmont or Lincoln.•Stop signs on side streets.•We need to explore pathways or sidewalks along the narrow curves at Spring/Shade, Shade between Fairbanks & Cary, and at Shade/Weston. There is not enough room for anyone to walk or bike safely in these areas.
Traffic Calming ApproachesShort Term Solutions:•Speed tables; 4 is a reasonable number.•Neck‐downs (narrowing of intersections) at Shade & Spring Streets, Shade & Weston Streets, and Shade at Cary.•3‐way stop at Shade and Cary.•Stop sign(s) at Fairbanks & Shade.•Raised crosswalk at Shade & Spring Street (to discourage people from taking the turn at high speeds into the initial curved section).Medium Term Solutions:•Reexamine area traffic flow to determine if there is a way to reduce cut through traffic by discouraging turning movements at certain times of the day.•Improve Cary @ Middle Street intersection to make it safer for kids walking/biking to Bridge from the neighborhood; make cutting through less desirable or at least reduce the ease/speed of the cut‐through.•Complete the originally designed intersection at Spring and Marrett to allow right turn lane onto Spring Street from Marrett.•Install paths at all 3 curved sections to provide a safe place for pedestrians (especially children) to walk.Long Term Solutions:•Pending results of neighborhood survey, design and install sidewalks if desired by neighborhood.
Speed Bump ExamplesLexington & Belmont
To conclude•Thanks for your time and consideration.

MEMO
To: Lexington Board of Selectmen
From: Lexington Board of Assessors
Subject: FY2014 Tax Classification Hearing
Date: November 18, 2013
This memo is intended to provide the Board of Selectmen with the necessary information to conduct a
Public Hearing and Information Session on the tax classification options available under Massachusetts
General Laws. The classification amendment requires the Board of Selectmen to consider four selections
with respect to the setting the FY2014 tax rate. The decision of the Board for each alternative must be
submitted to the DOR on form LA5. The four (4) selections are:
1. Selection of a residential factor
2. Selection of a discount for Open Space
3. A residential exemption
4. A small commercial exemption
These selections are discussed below.
1. Selection of a residential factor.
The Board of Selectmen may adopt a residential factor, thus increasing the commercial, industrial, and
personal property (C-I-P) tax rate by a maximum factor of 1.750. The attached Exhibits A & B
demonstrate the shift that the various C-I-P factors have on the percentage of the tax levy borne by each
class and the resulting tax rates. Approximately 100 of the 351 communities in Massachusetts adopt this
component of classification. Adopting the residential factor is, in practice, only available to communities
that have a commercial tax base.
2. Selection of a discount for Open Space.
Massachusetts General Law Chapter 59 Sec. 2A Defines Class 2 Open Space as:
"..land which is not otherwise classified and which is not taxable under provisions of chapters 61,
61A or 61B, or taxable under a permanent conservation restriction, and which land is not held for
the production of income but is maintained in an open or natural condition and which contributes
significantly to the benefit and enjoyment of the public."
A maximum exemption of 25% may be adopted for all property that is classified as Open Space.
The Assessors have not identified any property that meets the definition of Open Space
according to the statute. Bedford was the only community in the Commonwealth of MA to adopt
this exemption in FY2013.

3. Residential exemption.
The Board of Selectmen may adopt a maximum residential exemption of 20%. This exemption applies
only to owner-occupied properties. Those below the break-even point realize a reduction in taxes and
those above pay additional taxes. Non owner-occupied properties would have a substantial increase in
taxes including apartments and vacant land. Refer to the example in Exhibit H in this classification
packet.
Thirteen (13) communities in the Commonwealth of MA, typically those with a substantial base of rental
units, adopted this exemption in FY2013 Barnstable, Boston, Brookline, Cambridge, Chelsea, Everett,
Malden, Nantucket, Somerset, Somerville, Tisbury, Waltham and Watertown.
In Lexington in FY2014, Single Family Dwellings have an average assessed value of about $740,000
(rounded); however, the average assessed value for all “residential parcels” in Lexington (including the
following categories: single family dwellings, two & three family buildings, vacant land, condominiums,
and apartment buildings is (rounded):
$689,000
4. Small commercial exemption
An exemption of up to 10% of the property valuation can be granted to commercial (not industrial)
property that meets the requirements of the law. To qualify, eligible businesses must have occupied the
property as of January 1, must have had no more than ten (10) employees during the previous calendar
year and the building must have a valuation of less than $1,000,000. While the eligible business owners
do not have to own the building, all occupants of the commercial portion of the building must qualify.
Ten (10) Commonwealth of MA communities adopted the small commercial exemption in FY2013:
Auburn, Avon, Bellingham, Braintree, Dartmouth, New Ashford, Seekonk, Somerset, Westford, and
Wrentham.
