FROM Traffic Committee SUBJECT `
Fottler Avenue
Investigation by this Committee indicates that traffic volumes on Cliffe Road and
Fottler Avenue do not meet the State warrants for a "Stop" sign. problems of
the poor sight distance and the change of Fottler Avenue intoan unimproved street
are recnized by the Committee and it is recommended that a warning barrier be
erected to the standards of the Mass. DPW in a location where it would be visible
to the thotoOsts approaching Cliffe Road junction on Fottler Avenue.
The Committee ds Aot recommend "$low - Children" signs at the several locations 1n
suggested i'i Mrs. Burns' letter, both because such signs are ineffective and only
lead to a false sense of securlty. for the parents and the children, and because
practically all streets in Lexington are used by children walking to school or to
a school bus stop and should be treated equally, unless special conditions dictate
otherwise. w :�
