TRAFFIC SAFETY ADVISORY COMMITTEE
MEMORANDUM
TO: John C. Eddison, Chairman DATE: September 25, 1987
Board of Selectmen
FROM: Peter M. Chalpin, Chairman ( SUBJECT: Peachtree Road and
Traffic Safety Advisory Commi*/ Appletree Lane
At its meeting of September 16, 1987, the Traffic Safety Advisory Committee met with
Mrs. Cohen to discuss her request for a "Stop" sign at Peachtree Road and Appletree
Lane. Our evaluation of this entire neighborhood revealed that no "Stop" signs are
warranted.
With respect to this intersection, however, we believe that a channelizing island is
in order. As with other "T" intersections in Town, notably Walnut Street/Concord
Avenue and Russell Road/Whipple Road, "cutting the corner" is a problem here.
Islands have solved this problem in the past, and we recommend installing such an
island at this location.
