MEMORANDUM
To Allan F. Kenney, Chairman DATE. 7/7/75 PAGE.
Board of Selectmen
FROM John J. McSweeney, Chairman SUBJECT" Muzzey Street Traffic
Traffic Safety Committee
At its meeting of 7/1/75, the Traffic Safety Committee discussed Miss
Scenna's letter regarding traffic on Muzzey Street (copy enclosed). The
Committee would like to address each point individually:
I . The Committee feels that traffic signals are not necessary at
the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue and Bedford Street.
2. Due to the unavailability of funds, lack of manpower, and the
presence of items of greater priority, it is impossible to
station police officers at the Lexington Theatre and Minuteman
statue.
3. The Committee feels that a "Slow" sign in the Muzzey Street
parking lot would be meaningless when geometrics and common
sense dictate an absolute maximum speed of 10 M.P.H.
4. The Committee feels that as with the Muzzey Street parking
lot, geometrics and common sense would dictate that one
proceed slowly on Muzzey Street and in the Center as a
whole. Further, those few people who will not heed the
obvious, will not heed additional signing.
5. Strict enforcement of all traffic laws is currently underway
in the entire Town.
In conclusion, the Committee recommends no action on any of Miss Scenna's
requests.
