TRAFFIC SAFETY ADVISORY COMMITTEE
MEMORANDUM
TO: Jacquelyn Smith, Chairm DATE: October 22, 1990
Board of Selectmen
FROM: Peter M. Chalpin,( Ch an SUBJECT: Allen Street/Clematis Road
Traffic Committee
At its meeting of October 10, 1990, the TSAC met with Mr. Jon Bryan and Ms. Robin
Shapiro to discuss concerns about traffic on Allen Street and on Clematis Road.
The Committee unanimously recommends the following
1. Installation of a "Yield" sign on Clematis Road at Allen Street. The
warrants for a "Stop" sign are not satisfied at this time, and the
Committee feels that some control device is necessary, therefore a "Yield"
sign.
2 Installation of a single yellow centerline on Allen Street, from Waltham
Street to beyond Clematis Road.
In the days after our meeting, I spent more time at the intersection of Clematis
and Allen. In addition to the above, I suggest relocating the mailbox cluster to
the opposite corner of Clematis Road and removing the brush within the Right-of-
Way near the present mailbox cluster position. These two actions will greatly
improve visibility to the right when coming out of Clematis Road.
