MEETING OF PLANNING BOARD
January 24, 1944
' w
Present: Messrs. Greeley, Worthen, Richards and
Cromwell.
The Board met with the Chamber of Commerce
to discuss the parking area project. Mr. William
Ballard was present.
The model of the parking area prepared
by Mr. Dreselly was presented and considered.
The Chamber of Commerce and the Planning
Board approved the project in general, as did Mr.
Ballard. There was some lack of agreement on details.
The Chamber of Commerce and the Planning
Board then met with the Selectmen who considered the
project but did not commit themselves as to it.
The Selectmen decided to appoint a committee to study
the matter further.
Rotes:
' Some years ago there were plans to
widen Waltham Street between Massachusetts
Avenue and Vine Brook Road. It is believed
the county actually laid out the line.
Questions: Was the strip actually taken?
Who has title to it? What easements
exist?
Mr. Ballard strongly favored extension
of proposed street behind proposed parking
area across Muzzey to Clark Street. He
stressed the need for greater circulation
of traffic.
The Planning Board should write to
the Selectmen suggesting; they look into
the proposed by the Boston Edison Company
re parking on Massachusetts Avenue.
