TRAFFIC SAFETY ADVISORY COMMITTEE
MEMORANDUM
TO: John C. Eddison, Chairman DATE: September 25, 1987
Board of Selectmen
FROM: Peter M. Chalpin, Chairman SUBJECT: Waltham Street at
Traffic Safety Advisory Comm,i, , =. Brookside Avenue
Mrs. Cordell
At its meeting of September 16, 1987, the Traffic Safety Advisory Committee met with
Mrs. Cordell and Mrs. Schwartz to discuss a request for a pedestrian signal at
Waltham Street and Brookside Avenue.
On June 11, 1987, the Engineering Department completed a traffic/pedestrian volume
study at this location and assessed compliance with the traffic signal warrants. It
was found that none of the eight warrants were met. As a result of this, and the
fact that there is a crossing guard on station, the Committee unanimously recommends
against traffic signals at this location.
We do, however, recommend installing two "School Crossing" signs and two "School
Advance" signs on Waltham Street.

Peter M. Chalpin
