MEMORANDUM
Stephen Politi, Chairman
To: Board of Selectmen / DATE: 2/16/84
FROM: Peter M Chalpin, Chairm$i / SUBJECT. Hancock Street
Traffic Safety Committe "O. Blind Driveway Sign
On 2/15/84 , the Traffic Safety Committee met with
Mr & Mrs Philip Cavaretta regarding their request for a
"Blind Driveway" sign on Hancock Street at Revere Street
They further expressed concern about the potential for a
pedestrian accident at the crosswalk at that location.
It was pointed out to the Cavarettas that the cause
of the visibility problem at their driveway is a large
spruce tree and forsythia hedge on their own property. It
was recommended that the tree be trimmed to a height of six
to eight feet and that a section of the hedge be removed
Mr Cavaretta stated that he was contemplating removing the
tree
The Committee believes that visibility improvement
can be made by the Cavarettas on their property and unan-
imously recommends that the request for a "Blind Driveway"
sign be denied
With respect to the crosswalks, and the geometry of
the intersection as a whole, the Committee told the
Cavarettas that a request for funds for the reconstruction
of Hancock Street, including this intersection, will come
before this year's Town Meeting, and, if approved, construc-
tion could begin in one to two years.
