Report of Planning Board
To the Honorable, the Mayor and Board of Aldermen of the City of Melrose.
Gentlemen:
The Planning Board respectfully presents this report for the year ending December 31, 1920.
During the year we have considered several matters relating to the possibilities and needs of the City; but we are not vet prepared to make further specific recommendations.
We do, however, call attention to certain of our former sugges- tions. These include the elimination of duplication in the names of streets, roads and courts; placing sign boards at Franklin Square, directing to Boston, Stoneham, Wakefield and Reading. and to Saugus and Lynn; and placing a sign board at the junction of Main and Upham streets. directing to the Newburyport Turnpike.
· We hope that means may be found for solving the problem of extending Linwood Avenue from Grove Street to East Foster Street before that problem is further complicated.
We feel that delays in establishing a ground-plan for our future streets, along lines adapted to the inevitable future growth of our City. are likely to prove ultimately uneconomical. The lack of cross- streets leading southerly from Upham Street. the house blocking the easterly end of East Emerson Street, and certain of our courts and blind allys, are examples of what should be avoided by a far-sighted policy in street-planning.
