To see if the Town will vote to designate an unnamed public way, located between 49 Spring Street and the Route 2 Frontage Road, as Magliozzi Boulevard, or take any action related thereto.

The majority of the Board recommends no action on this resident petition article to have the Town designate the unnamed public way as “Magliozzi Boulevard,” in honor of the Magliozzi brothers, Tom and Ray, hosts of the nationally broadcast automobile and auto repair radio talk show, “Car Talk” on NPR.

All members of the Board agree that the Magliozzi Brothers were extraordinary residents and worthy of recognition. However, the majority’s position is that Town Meeting action is not necessary to honor the Magliozzi brothers, and instead propose to refer the proposal to the public memorials committee to make a recommendation back to the Select Board as has been past practice in similar circumstances. The minority believes that the novel nature of this proposal warrants a variance from past practice.

VOTED: That no action be taken on Article 19.
