Topics of Discussion:
The purpose of the site walk was to determine the preferred locations for
the placement of two signs designating the area of the Summer Ave.
Historic District.
The group began at the Woburn St. and Summer Ave. intersection and
consensus was to locate the "Welcome to.." sign on the right hand side of
the tree lawn on Summer Ave. about 20 feet in from the corner. Exact
location to be determined by DPW after dig save observations.
The group then walked to the opposite end of the District. This area was
more constrained because of an existing Cross Walk signage. Staff will
seek its relocation to accommodate the HD sign but it will delay the
installation of the District signs by at least a month.
Jessie Wilson recorded measurements and comments to facilitate the
project.
The walk concluded about 2:30pm.
