At its meeting of November 16, 1977, the Traffic Safety
Committee discussed the letter from the Harrington School P T.A.
requesting a school speed zone signal on Maple Street
Inspection of the area yielded the fact that the posted
speed at the crossing on Maple Street is 25 MPH and at the
crossing on Lowell Street is 30 MPH.
After learning from Chief Corr that there is currently
a crossing guard at each of these crossings during the times
that Harrington School is opening and closing, and since the
school speed zone signal requested by Mrs Ippolito would only
operate during those same hours, the Committee unanimously agreed
that the existing crossing guards are the ultimate in protection
at these crossings This agreement having been reached, the
Committee voted that the signals are not necessary at the Harrington
School, and therefore, we recommend that the request be denied.
