MEMORANDUM
TO: James F. Crain, Chairman DATE: 5/19/83 PAGE:
Board of Selectmen
FROM: Peter M. Chalpin, Chair n SUBJECT: "Elderly Crossing"
Traffic Safety Committe Sign - Worthen Road
Mrs. Simmons
At its meeting of May 17, 1983, the Traffic Safety
Committee met with Mrs. Simmons to discuss her request
for an "Elderly Crossing" sign on Worthen Road in the
vicinity of the Shawmut Bank. As you may recall, this
is the same location at which she requested a crosswalk
several weeks ago. That request was denied. However,
we have petitioned Mass. DPW for a permit revision to
allow extending the pedestrian phase at the Bedford Street
signals.
That being the case, and because the Traffic Safety
Committee feels that the Town should not give any im-
pression that it approves of the elderly crossing the
street at this spot, we unanimously recommend that the 6,)).pb
request be denied.
Those in attendance: Peter M. Chalpin -
