41 MEMORANDUM
TO Howard M. Kassler, Chairman DATE 6/16/76 PAGE.
Board of Selectmen
FROM John J . McSweeney, Chairman SUBJECT' Valley Rd. -
Traffic Safety Committee Dr. Rich & Mr. Dellovo
At its meeting of 6/15/76, the Traffic Safety Committee discussed
the letter from Dr. Rich and Mr. Dellovo requesting a lighted "Watch Children"
sign and speed bumps on Valley Road. As you are aware, the type of sign re-
quested by these gentlemen is non-standard, and therefore cannot be used.
However, the Engineering Division has checked the warrants for a "Caution
Children sign and found that they are met. We therefore recommend that this
type of sign be installed at the "Top" of Valley Road.
Regarding the request for speed bumps, we recommend that it be denied
since, as we have stated previously, they create a serious legal liability
for the town and, futher, have been proven to be a hazard to bicycles, motor-
cycles and autos. (See memo dated 8/7/75) Copy enclosed.
Those of the Traffic Safety Committee in attendance were:
John J . McSweeney, Chairman
Chief Corr, Member
Kenneth Briggs, Member
Peter Chalpin, Member
Katherine Menand, Member
John Blackwell , Member
