Friday, 9/15/72, a meeting was held at Raytheon Company regarding
N
a 'A .ts at the exit from their Executive Office Building, across
(sg44from Hayden Avenue. Present from Raytheon were : Nora Ford, Staff
Counsel, Robert L. McCormack, Vice President of Real Estate and
r- Planning, and Robert Johnson. The problem as presented to us, is
/ -7 that since the construction of Route 2 and subsequent realignment
t _of Spring Street, several accidents, three to date this year, have
occurred involving Employees of Raytheon and drivers travelling
toward Route 2 on Spring Street . The Raytheon Employees were, at
the time of the accidents, exiting from Hayden Avenue to enter the
driveway to their building which is directly across from Hayden
Avenue. All present agreed that there is a definite sight distance
limitation problem on both Spring Street and Hayden Avenue due to the
down-hill curvature of Spring Street and banking on the southeast
corner of this intersection. At present , the only workable solution
to the problem appears to be a sight distance easerrent on the Kennecott
Copper Property. However, the Engineering Department will wake a
more for -.al rroposal regarding this once a determination is invade on
the future of Spring Street .
