TRAFFIC SAFETY ADVISORY COMMITTEE
MEMORANDUM
TO: Richard J. White DATE: July 5, 1989
Town Manager
FROM: Peter M. Chalpin, Chai ' an / SUBJECT: Adams Street - Trucks
Traffic Safety Advisory , .411ee
At its meeting of June 28, 1989, the Traffic Safety Committee met with Mrs. Gloria
Bacigalupo to discuss a request for a heavy truck exclusion on Adams Street.
This issue was addressed previously in 1983, but we were unable to obtain a State
Permit at that time because an accommodation with the Town of Burlington could not
be reached.
The past notwithstanding, the Committee believes that Adams Street is unsuitable for
use by through truck traffic, and we recommend that the Town re-apply to the State
for a permit.
Enclosed are the State's latest requirements. Please note Items *1 through *3 at
the top of page 9. We cannot satisfy *1 or *2, and it is suggested that the Town
attempt to satisfy *3, i.e. obtain Burlington's approval, before we undertake the
necessary volume study.
Those in attendance:
Peter M. Chalpin
Dr. Clarke
Mr. Trask
Mrs. Kabat-Zinn
Ms. England
Mr. Mix
