Hot Topic Melrose Traffic Meeting Rescheduled

MELROSE, MA — Let's talk traffic. An upcoming meeting of the Traffic Commission has several items on the agenda, most of which have to do either with traffic flow and parking.

The meeting had been scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 20, but was postponed. Patch learned Tuesday that the new date for the Special Meeting of the Traffic Commission will be Tuesday, Oct. 3, at 5:30 p.m.
