MAPLE, LOWELL STREETS - REQUEST FOR LOWERED SPEED LIMIT Ruth and Bruce Lynn, 33 Maple Street, were present on behalf of Lowell and Maple and Summer Street petitioners for lowering of the 40mph speed limit on those streets to 35mph. The Town Manager had received a response to his request to Secretary Sal.vucci, D.O.T., for a State study of speed limits on the three streets (Rtes 2A) which listed factors which led to the State's determination that the currently posted speeds can not be lowered. The letter, from Robert L. Shea, Traffic Engineer, State DPW, stated that at this time, 35% of cars exceed the 40mph limit. If the limit were to be Lowered, 30% would be in violation. Mr. Shea also stated that the sight distance is straight and can be seen for several hundred feet in both directions on Rte. 2A. The Town Manager, in response to Mrs. Lynn's question about recourse, said an appeal could be made to the State to reverse its decision, but recommended installation, on a local level, of "Caution Children" suns. Mrs. Smith suggested that existing speed limits be enforced since 85% are going over the limit now.
