MEMORANDUM
To: Alfred S. Busa, ChairmanDATE: 10/14/82 PAGE:
Board of Selectmen
FROM: Peter M. Chalpin, Chairman SUBJECT: Crosby Road Traffic
Traffic Safety Committee- Mr. Robert Stupp
At it's meeting of October 13, 1982 the Traffic Safety
Committee reviewed its report to the Board of September 15 ,
1982 regarding the above matter. Ms. Christy Foote-Smith
attended the meeting. She reiterated the concerns expressed
in her and Mr. Stupp' s letter and requested control devices
on Crosby Road and the School property.
It was explained that the Committee could not identify
a traffic safety problem on either Crosby Road or the School
property. We agreed that the potential for problems exists
in the area, as it does in all other areas, but that no action
by the Committee could eliminate that potential.
It was pointed out that, on at least three previous oc-
casions , past Committees have suggested closing the gate on
the Roosevelt Road end of the school driveway, a suggestion
the School Department has resisted, apparently because they
also cannot identify a problem.
It was therefore unanimously voted to re-submit our Sep-
tember 15 , 1982 report to the Board, and further, the Com-
mittee urged Ms. Foote-Smith to pursue the matter of the gate
or speed bumps with the School Committee.
Those in attendance: Peter M. Chalpin
