TRAFFIC SAFETY ADVISORY COMMITTEE
MEMORANDUM
TO: Jacqueline Smith, Chairman i DATE: October 25, 1989
Board of Selectmen
FROM: Peter M. Chalpin, Chairma SUBJECT: Tyler Road at
Traffic Safety Advisory Com i ., ee Winchester Drive
At its meeting of September 13, 1989, the Traffic Safety Advisory Committee dis-
cussed a concern brought forth by the Lexington Police Department about sight dis-
tance on Tyler Road at both of its intersections with Winchester Drive
The sight distance deficiency is created by shrubs in front of #6 and #34 Winchester
Drive. The enclosed sketch shows that these shrubs are on the Town's right-of-way,
Close to the edge of the roadway. The Committee believes that trimming is not
sufficient at either of these locations and recommends that the shrubs be removed
from the right-of-way.
I have contacted both homeowners, met with them, and the Park and Tree Superinten-
dent, and reached agreement with all parties on having the shrubs removed and the
trees trimmed by the Town
