TRAFFIC SAFETY ADVISORY COMMITTEE
MEMORANDUM
TO: Jacquelyn Smith, Chairman DATE: October 22, 1990
Board of Selectmen
FROM: Peter M. Chalpin, Chairdan SUBJECT: Pleasant Street/Mass.
Traffic Safety Committ:e 4i . Avenue
At its meeting of October 10, 1990, the TSAC discussed a request for traffic
signals at Pleasant Street and Massachusetts Avenue. Mr. John Jayne was unable to
attend.
The Committee has deferred making any recommendation at this time, and requests
that the Engineering Division gather the data necessary to analyze traffic signal
warrant compliance at the intersection. This analysis will be compared to that
done in 1986, and the Committee will then formulate a recommendation.
While discussing this matter, we touched on the backups now taking place at
Waltham Street and Marrett Road during the evening peak hours. The Committee
recommends that Massachusetts D.P.W. be requested to investigate timing
adjustments in the signals to try to lessen the backups.
