D A T E � July 1�, 1970 FI LE RE�. Traffic Committee
Mr. McSweeney related to us the questions raised by the Selectmen regarding
the proposed relocation of the bus stop from in front of the Lexington Federal
Savings & Loan Assn. The Traffic Committee reviewed the situation and
wishes to reiterate its recommendations that the bus stop �he relocated in
front of the Cary Library on a trial basis for the following reasons:
1. Crossing the Mass. Ave. traffic from Bedford St. to in front of the
Library can be accomplished without particular difficulty. Such crossing is
necessary for the use of the existing bus stop, although the available
crossing distance is greater.
2. The relocation of the bus stop would free three prime parking spaces in
front of the two of the principal local banks.
3. Under the present conditions cars are often parked in the bus stop space,
forcing the bus to halt in the street and obstruct one lane to traffic.
4. The Library may provide shelter for those waiting for the bus during
inclement weather.
