MEMORANDUM
TO: Mrs Margery M Battin, Vice Chairman DATE 5/10/77 PAGE: 1
Board of Selectmen
FROM: John J McSweeney, Chairman sueJEcT• Guard Rail
Traffic Safety Committee Mrs Martha Lima
I '1
At its meetings of December 8, 1976 and May 4, 1977, the
Traffic Safety Committee discussed Mrs. Lima's request for a
guard rail in front of her property at 40 Vail le Avenue
While there is no question that vehicles have skidded on
to her property and damaged trees, we do not feel that a guard
rail is warranted in this case The cause of the skidding
accidents is icing conditions brought about by melting and
freezing snow, and not a geometric defect in Vaille Avenue
This being the case, we recommend that the drainage
system in the area be upgraded in order to intercept and
remove melting snow from the roadway before it re-freezes
at night
