TOWN OF LEXINGTON
TRAFFIC SAFETY ADVISORY COMMITTEE
MEMORANDUM
TO: Paul W. Marshall, Chairm DATE: May 3, 1985
Board of Selectmen SUBJECT: Traffic Committee
FROM: Peter Chalpin, Chairman Traffic - North Hancock
Traffic Safety Committe Street
At its Meeting of May 1 , 1985, the Traffic Safety Committee met with Mr.
MacInnes and Mr. Sullivan, Principal of the Diamond Junior High School, to
discuss a request from Mr. Geoffrey Fitzgerald for traffic safety
improvements at Hancock Street and North Hancock Street. Mr. Fitzgerald did
not attend.
First, it is unanimously recommended that Stop signs be installed on North
Hancock Street at Hancock Street, and on Hamilton Road at North Hancock
Street.
Discussion then centered around Mr. Fitzgerald's requests for blinking
School in Session signs on Hancock Street and speed bumps in the Diamond
School driveway. Since the driveway is on school property, and since sixth
graders will be attending the School in 1986, it is recommended that these
requests be referred to the School Committee for input on peripheral issues
such as crossing guards and busing. The Traffic Committee does feel that a
signing arrangement, such as that implemented at the Estabrook School , would
be more appropriate than blinking signs.
Those in attendance:
Peter M. Chalpin
Mr. Trask
Dr. Clarke
Mr. Maloney
Mr. Mix
