TRAFFIC SAFETY ADVISORY COMMITTEE
MEMORANDUM
TO: Paul W. Marshall, Chairma• DATE: February 22, 1985
Board of Selectmen SUBJECT: Traffic Committee
FROM: Peter Chalpin, Chairman 144 Woburn Street
Traffic Safety Committ= - it //
At its Meeting of February 20, 1985 , the Traffic Safety Committee discussed
the request from Mr. Raymond Ho for a "Hidden Driveway" sign near #144
Woburn Street. Mr. Ho did not attend.
The Committee unaminously voted to recommend that Mr. Ho's request be
denied. It was felt that signing could not improve his situation. The
driveway is in a difficult location at best, and the Committee believes that
rather thanprovideineffective signing, we should urge Mr. Ho to back into
his driveway , so that he could drive out. Even with this, he remains at
some risk because of the driveway 's location. Another option would be for
Mr. Ho to reconstruct his driveway to provide drive in/drive out. We
understand that this was done by one of his neighbors some years ago.
Those in attendance:
Peter M. Chalpin
Mr. Trask
Mr. Mix
Sgt. Hickey
