Dear Chairman Jenkins and Members of the Board:
We have received recent correspondence related to support for the I93/I95 Interchange
Improvements Project consisting of $12.9 million. We understand this is for the work of Fay,
Spofford and Thorndike, LLC to do the preliminary design and environmental work for this
project. Additionally, we note that this project is on the Transportation Improvement Program
for $537 million.
Attached is a copy of Reading's position on this matter which is in a letter to Secretary Cohen
dated May 24, 2007. The Town has. been supportive of what was supposed to be an early action
item which is the extension of the four lane cross section to the Route 129 interchange. The
Town is still supportive of this.
The Town further questions the expenditure of further monies, potentially over one half billion
dollars in an era when the state is not able to provide support for a number of more localized
projects that will have a significant impact on the quality of life throughout the Commonwealth.
We suggest that Mass Highway reconsider their approach to this project, do the "early action"
items which will get immediate results, and focus time, energy and resources on more immediate
projects including local projects which will have a direct affect on the citizens of the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Sincerely,
Stephen Goldy, Chairman

Re: Town of Reading Position on Interstate Routes 95 and 93 Interchange Improvements
Dear Secretary Cohen:
The Town of Reading appreciates the hard work of the Interstate Route 95/93 Task
Force, and MI 's staff and consultants. The process that was followed is much improved from
the previous process, and therefore the product is much improved. This is important to the Town
of Reading because Reading is the community most impacted by any scenario of improvement of
this interchange — the interchange itself and much of-the ramp structures are in the Town of
Reading directly abutting a residential neighborhood.
The following statement represents the Town of Reading position on options presently before the
Task Force as this phase concludes. This position paper represents the formal vote of the Board
of Selectmen on May 22, 2007.
Early in the study, the Interchange Task Force (ITF) worked with the consultants to develop
goals and objectives. Selected objectives are listed below. Of major importance were the
objectives to work within the existing right -of -way and avoid takings, particularly of residences.
1. Improve traffic flow in and around the I- 93/1 -95 interchange,,
2. Improve safety for motorists;
3. Maintain local access and improve traffic conditions on local streets;
4. Improve mobility throilgh multi -modal and other transportation strategies;
5. Meet transportation goals without sacrificing quality of life for area communities.
Minimize noise impacts on adjacent residences and other sensitive receptors;
Relieve impacts of cut- through traffic on neighborhoods and business districts;
U
Design improvements within the existing right -of -way;
Avoid residential and business property takings;
• Minimize negative economic effects to tax bases, and enhance local and regional.
economic activity where possible;
• Minimize visual impacts on the communities and enhance the visual environment wliere
possible;
• Maintain community and business district connections and access, including automobile,
truck, emergency vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian access, and make improvements where
possible;
• Consider quality of life costs as well as financial costs.
6. Protect and enhance the natural and cultural environment;
7. Develop recommendations that can be implemented efficiently;
8. The study will continue to be conducted through an open and inclusive process;
.9. Provide justification for any additional recommended actions over-and above what analyses
show is necessary.
In order to meet these objectives the Town of Reading believes that the following actions are
necessary as a package of actions to be undertaken by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
Highway Department:
A Transit and TDM (Transportation Demand Manal4ement) Components
Further development and study of the following. components must be included in the
environmental phase:
1. Re -open the Mishawum passenger rail station;
2. Implement a fully online sign -up system for carpools in the area;
3. Increase utilization of the Anderson Regional Transportation Center (RTC) through the
following or other measures:
Free commuter parking at Anderson RTC;
Creation of a formal park - and -ride program at the Anderson RTC;
Improve access to the Anderson RTC, including a pedestrian bridge from the west side
of the railroad tracks.
4. Expand ongoing marketing of transit services in the study area;
5. Expand ongoing outreach and incentives for carpooling in the study area through
MassRIDES :
A carpool incentive program;
• Expanded vanpool incentive program;
Additional marketing.
6. Expand peak - period "Route 128" shuttle service from Anderson RTC to Burlington,
Lexington, and Waltham, with connecting service to Reading Depot;
7. Add off -peak "Route 128" shuttle service;
6
8. Establish a park -and -ride shuttle service from Peabody;
9. Explore cross - ticketing/fare payment arrangements on privately operated shuttle services;
10. Improve signage and traveler information to promote carpooling and transit:
• Install static signage on I -93 and I -95 promoting carpooling and transit;
• Install electronic signs or Variable Message Signs (VMS) on I -93 and I -95 promoting
carpooling and transit;
Use real -time traffic, transit schedule, and parking information in signs, websites, cell
phones, or other media.
11. Increase MBTA reverse -peak and local bus service on Route 354 and extending Route 132
(currently serving Malden, Melrose and Stoneham) to serve. the Reading commuter rail
station, the Anderson RTC, and nearby employers in Woburn;
12. Enhance MBTA commuter rail service on existing lines:
Improve headways on the Lowell Line between Anderson RTC and Boston to create a
shuttle -type service with peak period headways of 15 or 20 minutes;
• Add service north of the Anderson RTC on the Lowell Line and the Haverhill Line.
13. Encourage employers within the 128 region to allow flexible work hours.
B. Highway Components
1. Implement "easy fix" enhancements to the highway system as soon as possible:
• Eliminate the lane drop on I -95 North at the Interchange — extend the additional lane
northbound to at least the I- 95/129 intersection;
• Add a southbound lane to I -95, beginning the 4a' lane from as far north as Walkers
Brook Drive;
• -Incorporate noise barriers as part of the construction of this northbound and south bound
lane additions;
Proceed with the project to modify the Washington Street ramp;
• Improve traffic /speed enforcement;
Enforce EXISTING state laws to minimize noise:
o 80db for motorcycle mufflers and exhaust pipes
Prohibited use of engine brakes 'on 18- wheelers (and post signage).
2. Work to lower the profile of all overhead ramps to the maximum extent possible;
3. Make an up -front commitment for inclusion of sound barriers as part of any project;
4. Implement the following construction mitigation to:
• Minimize cut - through traffic;
• Each component of the improvements should be analyzed for reduction in traffic
congestion and minimization of cut through traffic during and following construction.
The results of the analysis should establish the phasing of components of construction to
minimize impacts of the surrounding communities during construction. Minimize
disruption — noise and otherwise — to abutting properties (noise and light from night time
construction);
• Additional law enforcement funding needs to be provided to the communities to regulate
traffic during construction;
• Major project construction cannot start before the following projects in Reading are
complete: West Street improvements (Project # 601705) and state projects; Main Street
Pavement Resurfacing (Project # 604804) and N. Reading/Reading Rte 28. bridge project
(Project # 603473). The reason for this request is to make sure that the local
infrastructure needed to handle traffic diverted ' by construction is in place. and is
adequate to accommodate this traffic;
• M 4D needs to perform benefit analysis (environmental, traffic mitigation, noise etc.) of
daytime vs. nighttime construction;
Prior to construction, an upgrade in the traffic controllers and installation of a closed
loop system for traffic signals along Rte 28, Rte 129, Walkers Brook Drive, West Street,
Woburn Street and Summer Avenue in Reading is needed to regulate out through traffic
during construction;
• Provide to the Town of Reading. adequate funding to hire a consultant to provide for an
independent evaluation of the proposed construction mitigation.
C. Interchange Design Alternatives
The Town does not endorse either of the alternative plans because they do not meet the goals of
the study. Specifically these alternatives:
• do not eliminate all property takings,
• do not minimize noise impacts, and
• do not minimize visual impacts
on properties in Reading. The Town believes that all of these impacts can be reduced or
eliminated through additional design work.
This position- statement was approved by the Reading Board of Selectmen on May 22,
2007. We appreciate your consideration ofthese comments as this process moves forward into
the next phases of development.

To the Honorable Legislators and Staff:
Thank you for your potential support on behalf of the I- 93/1 -95 Interchange
Improvements Project. Enclosed in this email is a summary of the project, a link to maps
showing potential changes, and a draft letter of support. If you need anything additional,
please don't hesitate to contact our office.
Summary of Project:
Contract Number 57738 is for the preparation of preliminary design and environmental
permits for the contract titled "Woburn - Reading - Stoneham - Wakefield: I- 93/1 -95
Interchange Improvements" with Fay, Spofford and Thorndike, LLC, in the amount of
$12,891,403.66, with a duration of sixty (60) months.
The project area includes approximately 6 miles of roadway (1.3 miles on I -93 and 4.5
miles on 1 -95 /Rt 128). The total construction cost of the project has been estimated to be
$320,000,000 in 2015 dollars. The Boston Metropolitan Planning Organization has
included this project in their 2012 Long Range Transportation Plan at $537,624,000 in
the time band of 2026 -2030. The construction of this project is planned to be funded
with 80% federal funds and 20% state funds.
Between 2004 and 2007, MassDOT's Office of Transportation Planning worked closely
with an advisory task force during a study of the I- 93/I -95 Interchange in the Towns of
Reading, Stoneham, and the City of Woburn. This interchange (Exit 37) is the busiest in
the state, processing over 375,000 vehicles on an average weekday. The primary goals of
this planning study were to examine and recommend ways to improve traffic flow and
safety at the interchange while minimizing impacts in surrounding communities
6/4/2012 ' v
Page 2 of 2
The project will improve traffic flow and safety principally by replacing the northwest
and southeast loop ramps with direct ramp connections to I -93 from Route 128/I -95 and
reconfiguring the Washington Street exit ramps. The result will be the elimination of all
major weaves. Along Route 128/1 -95, the project will provide a consistent 4 -lane cross
section northbound from Exit 35 (Route 38) in Woburn to just north of Exit 40 (Route 129)
in Wakefield. The direct connection ramp from Route 128/I -95 southbound to 1 -93
northbound will extend further back to Exit 38 (Route 28) in Reading, requiring
modifications to that interchange. The modification of the Washington Street ramps (Exit
36) will require widening Route 128/1 -95 from a point west of the Route 128/I -95
northbound bridge over the MBTA Lowell Commuter Rail line railroad tracks to the start
of a new Collector /Distributor (C /D) ramp that will accommodate all local and regional
connections to Washington Street and 1 -93 southbound and northbound.

Dear Chairman Jenkins and Members of the Board:
On behalf of the city /cities of I am pleased to offer our strong support for
the I- 93/I -95 Interchange Improvement application being submitted before the Board.
This project is a major step in implementing necessary improvements to the busiest
interchange in the state, with over 375,000 vehicles traveling through this corridor on
an average weekday.
The I- 93/I -95 Interchange is at the center of a regional highway system serving
Massachusetts and New England. It is also an important transportation asset to the host
communities of Woburn, Reading, Stoneham, and Wakefield and neighboring towns.
Delays are frequent during peak commuting times, and traffic is often backed up from
the ramps onto the mainline highways, creating a hazardous situation. Between 1995
and 2001, the I- 93/I -95 interchange ranked between 1st and 6th on the list of 1,000
worst crash sites in Massachusetts, which provides a strong indicator that a safety
problem exists.
It is vital that this interchange and the congestion problems it creates be
addressed as soon as possible. With your vote, this project will, will improve traffic
flow and safety primarily by replacing the northwest and southeast loop ramps with
direct connections and reconfiguring the Washington Street Ramps (exit 36) to provide
a direct connection to I -93, resulting in the elimination of all interchange weaves. The
project also includes the addition of a single travel lane northbound on I -95 between
the I- 93/I -95 interchange (exit 37) and Route 129 (exit 40) in Wakefield, and the
extension of the proposed new exit ramp from I -95 northbound to I -93 (both
directions), through the Washington Street interchange (exit 36).
It is my sincere hope that the Members of the MassDOT Board vote to approve
this project. This interchange improvement is not simply about convenience, but also
about the safety of the Commonwealth's commuters and residents. Your vote will help
make a responsible and critical safety enhancement at the I- 93/I -95 Interchange and I
want to thank you very much for your consideration.
Sincerely,

HI Peter,
This is a second request for Amp sound by Reading Youth Baseball. This would be considered a variance and
needs to be escalated to the BOS for approval.
The request is for this coming weekend. He should have had this to us earlier. Not sure if he confused the

RULE 4. Amplified Sound - Users of public property and abutting residents should
have an expectation of quiet enjoyment of the Town's public parks, playgrounds, recreation and
other open space areas. This rule recognizes that these properties are the site of some activities
which inherently create levels of noise due to customary and usual uses such as fans cheering,
referee and coach's whistles, and bands playing during football games. There is also recognition
that as a community the public parks, playgrounds, recreation and other open space areas are the
site of occasional community events which use amplified sound such as school field days,
community fairs, and fireworks displays, etc.
The use of amplified sound in public parks, playgrounds, recreation and other open space areas is
not permitted without a permit to be granted by the Recreation Committee or other agency which
has jurisdiction over said public property.
When permitted, the use of amplified sound shall be controlled by the permit holder such that the
volume, direction, and duration of the sound is the minimum needed to meet the purpose of the use
of the sound, and which will minimize the impact of the sound on other users of the park,
playground, or other public property and its abutters. Unreasonable sound shall be sound plainly
audible at a distance of 100 feet from its source by a person of normal hearing.
The intent of this rule is to allow, with a permit from the Recreation Committee or other agency
which has jurisdiction over said public property, reasonable and occasional playing of music or use
of amplified sound while considering location, time, duration and frequency such as an annual fair,
or once a year all -star sports games. The use of amplified sound is not intended to be a routine for
recurring events such as play by play announcements for sporting events and other repeated use of
music and amplified sound. The permitting authority should consider the frequency of amplified
permits per park or recreation site and afford significant consideration to the neighbors abutting the
permitted areas as regards to their inconvenience created by said permit.
When a permit is granted, a copy of the permit shall be transmitted to the Board of Selectmen at
least 3 days before the event at which the music or amplified sound is to be used. Additionally, all
permitted dates of amplified sound will be posted in a conspicuous place on the Town's website as
well as available by contacting the Recreation Division or head of any other agency having
jurisdiction over the public property for which a permit has been granted.
Any variance from this rule will require the permitted applicant to petition the Board of Selectmen
for such variance at which time a public hearing will be held on the matter.

Peter,
Comment memo of the driveway requests.
With the exception of 2 item's I want to point out to the BCS the rest is the same as Chris's email
The additional items are:
There is another homeowner ( #51 Edgemont at 29 feet) who has agreed to reduce their driveway width
In the picture for #58 the second parked vehicle is partially on the sidewalk, i.e. the extra width only gives them
1 more space not 2

roadway user and abutting property owners.
1. Driveways should be located to the best advantage with regard to the road alignment
profile, sight distance conditions, and natural features.
2. The standards call for not more than two driveways for any one property. Additional
drives should not be allowed unless there is a clear necessity for them. No circular drives
are allowed, unless there is a minimum frontage of 150 feet.
3. If there are a number of commercial establishments to be constructed, then a service road
shall be constructed by the applicant to connect with the exit and entrance allowed under

speed of 30 M.P.H. or less may have two 45° drives with a minimum radius of 30 feet
and a minimum square width of 20 feet. If the major use of the drives is for trucks, the
width may be increased to a maximum of 24 feet.
