<br /> Liaison Reports
<br /> George Hines indicated that he had attended a meeting with South
<br /> Street residents a week ago. There were thirty plus or minus
<br /> people present, and their major concerns were the pavement width,
<br /> takings of property, and traffic volumes. We will have a meeting
<br /> with the residents after survey work is done, but before any
<br /> design work is done, to solicit their input.
<br /> Hines also attended the Town Meeting sessions, and a retirement -
<br /> event for Dick Dempster.
<br /> Sally Hoyt attended a reception for Senator Tisei, the School
<br /> Committee/Board of Selectmen joint meeting to appoint the new
<br /> member to the School Committee; announced the Rabies Clinic would
<br /> be this Saturday, from 2: 00 to 4:30 p.m. and announced that the
<br /> Reading Business and Professional Women's Club has selected Meg,
<br /> Bond as the Young Career Businesswoman for this year.
<br /> Dan Ensminger .indicated that he had attended the School/Board of
<br /> Selectmen meeting regarding the appointment of the School Com-
<br /> mittee member, and had attended most of the Town Meeting ses-
<br /> 'sions.
<br /> Selectmen Graham and Nigro indicated that they had also attended
<br /> all those meetings and had no other report.
<br /> Public Comment
<br /> Karen Burke from Chequesette Road requested that the Board recon-
<br /> sider their actions prohibiting a left turn onto Main Street from
<br /> Charles Street. She felt that it would cause undue problems on
<br /> Pearl Street, Harrison Street, Wilson, Eaton and John Streets,
<br /> Washington and Main Street, and Federal and Locust Streets .
<br /> There was a motion by Ensminger, seconded by Hoyt, to reconsider
<br /> the design of the Charles and Main Street intersection. Two
<br /> voting in favor, and three voting against, the intersection
<br /> design was not reconsidered. Leslie McGonagle from the Chamber
<br /> of Commerce announced that there would be a moonlight boat cruise
<br /> in May as a social event to get business and government leaders
