Mr. Richard B. Brown, Town Administrator >
Bedford Town Hall
Bedford, NA 01730
Dear Mr. Brown
The Traffic Safety Committee of the Town of Lexington has reviewed
your request for permission to allow trucks detoured from AshbyPtalsh
Roads to use Lexington Streets, specifically Bedford Street, Hartwell
Avenue and Maguire Road as an alternate route Yhile we realize that
ly
trucking on residential streets is not an ideal situation, we also feel
that the current traffic characteristics of those Lexington streets men-
tioned are such that we cannot allow additional truck traffic to be dir-
ected to them. As you know, these streets are currently utilized far
beyond their respective capacities, and we feel that additional truck
traffic will onlyaggravate this situation. It is therefore our position
_,q
to be opposed to this as an alternate route and must de y the request.
( Ver, truly o rs, if -.
