Proposed New Road
Mr. Burns presented plans from Whitman & Howard showing proposed new
road from Pleasant Street at Concord Pike to corner Lincoln Street and
Massachusetts Avenue. This road goes through land not at present built upon
and would serve to drain traffic from several built-up areas thus relieving
Massachusetts Avenue and routing traffic around Center. Also shown was plan
of road from Lincoln Street and Massachusetts Avenue to Bedford Street to
point opposite Fire Station. The B and was very favorably impressed with
both plans. Mr. Potter moved, Mr. Johnson seconded, that these plans be
approved in principle and that more study be given immediately as part of a
long range planning. So voted. It was felt that options should be acquired
on this land as soon as possible as otherwise it would probably be built
upon in the near future.
