SUBJECT: Theresa Ave.
FROM: Alexander V. 7.aleski, Chairman, Traffic Committee
T0: R.obert Cataldo, Chairman, Poard of Selectmen
DATE: August 19, 1970
The Tra�fic Committee has reviewed the petition of a group of
residents to make a portion of Theresa Ave. one way �nd has made
an on-site inspection of the conditions. It is the unanimous
opinion of the Committee that the considerations of traffic safety
and convenience do not warrant making Theresa Ave, one way between
Cliffe and Fottler Avenues. Some of our reasons are as follows:
1. There is very little traffic on Theresa Ave. , what little traffic
there is, is purely local. There is no traffic problem here which
would justify imposing additional restrictions and inconveniencing
the public.
2. Any vehicles diverted from Theresa Ave. would only be increas�ng
the traffic load of other streets in the area.
3. The belief that making Theresa Ave, one way will make it safer
is not justified, drivers are likely to e�ercise less care and
go faster if. they do not have to watch for oncomirig traffic.
