TRAFFIC SAFETY ADVISORY COMMITTEE
MEMORANDUM
TO: Jacqueline Smith, Chairman DATE: January 4, 1989
Board of Selectmen
FROM: Peter M. Chalpin, Chairman SUBJECT: Worthen Road/Baskin Road
Traffic Safety Advisory Comm, No Parking
At its meeting of December 7, 1988, the Traffic Safety Advisory Committee met with
Mr. Clarence Kemper to discuss parking on Worthen Road and Baskin Road. Mr.
Maclnnes and Mr. Waring also attended.
It is the Committee's recommendation that "No Parking" be posted from twenty feet
north of Baskin Road, to Waltham Street, on the westerly side of Worthen Road.
While we make this recommendation, we also feel strongly that the high school should
make every effort to accommodate the parking needs of its students within school
grounds. The School Department, we understand, has reduced the parking permit fee
from $25 to $10 for students. Depending on the vacancy rate in the high school lot
and the number of vehicles parked on Worthen Road, the Department might consider
eliminating the fee to reduce the usage of Worthen Road
