TRAFFIC SAFETY ADVISORY COMMITTEE
MEMORANDUM
TO: Jacqueline Smith, Chairman DATE: September 20, 1988
Board of Selectmen
FROM: Peter M. Chalpin, Chairman SUBJECT: Waltham Street at
Traffic Safety Advisory Com,,i -e Vinebrook Road
Mrs Stuart
At its meeting of September 7, 1988, the Traffic Safety Advisory Committee met with
Mrs. Katherine B Stuart to discuss her concern about Telephone Company trucks
parking in the last metered space on Waltham Street approaching Vinebrook Road.
When parked in this space, the trucks severely limit sight distance.
The Committee does not feel that removal of this space is warranted or desirable.
At the same time, however, we think it is an inappropriate location for the trucks
to be parked, even if only briefly.
Therefore, and since the problem appears to relate specifically and only to
Telephone trucks, the Committee recommends that New England Telephone Company be
contacted in writing and requested to refrain from parking in this space. Should
this approach fail, the Board may wish to consider eliminating this parking space
