Reporting to the 2016 ATM
Article 10(a), Center Streetscape Improvements and Easements—Phase 1 of 3 The
Committee had an extended discussion of that Article, including the participation of
Ms. Barry and Mr. Himmel, to review what further was now known about the project that
would be brought before the Town Meeting. The Committee concluded that there still
remained too much uncertainty about the project and left standing its current positions of
approval of traffic signalization at the Woburn Street/Massachusetts Avenue intersection
(4–1) and, otherwise, disapproval of the project (5–0).
CEC Five-Year Capital Plan (FY2017–FY2021): The Committee reviewed the draft of that
Plan to see whether it reflected the decisions made at the previous meeting. Mr. Kanter had
highlighted the items that he suggested still needed either further attention or just
affirmation of how a line item had been presented. The few still needing attention were
assigned to members to gain the needed information.
While explicitly not changing the Committee’s prior approval of the overall Report to the
2016 ATM, a Motion was made and seconded to approve incorporating what was
presented as the Draft Plan with Mr. Kanter authorized to make any adjustments that may
be warranted based on the pending feedback. Vote: 5–0
