TRAFFIC SAFETY ADVISORY COMMITTEE
MEMORANDUM
TO: Jacqueline Smith, Chairman DATE: January 4, 1989
Board of Selectmen
FROM: Peter M. Chalpin, Chairman(1;;Z
SUBJECT: *848 Massachusetts Avenue
Traffic Safety Advisory Com Traffic
At its meeting of December 7, 1988, the Traffic Safety Advisory Committee met with
Ms. Shirley Hamblen to discuss traffic on Massachusetts Avenue at *848.
As you may recall, in 1986 the Board approved extensive improvements to the
crosswalks in East Lexington, which included zebra stripes, relocation of
crosswalks, no parking regulations and new crosswalks. As a result, there are now
two striped crosswalks within 175' of *848 Massachusetts Avenue, and the Committee
believes their location and visibility are sufficient.
The Committee also finds that 30 MPH is an acceptable speed limit for the area, and
recommends only increased enforcement at this time.
