TRAFFIC SAFETY ADVISORY COMMITTEE
MEMORANDUM
TO: Paul W. Marshall, Chair'=n DATE: February 22, 1985
Board of Selectmen SUBJECT: Traffic Committee
FROM: Peter Chalpin, Chairm- . Grove St. /Robinson Rd.
Traffic Safety Committe- 'fes(
At its Meeting of February 20 , 1985 , the Traffic Safety Committee met Ms.
Nancy Eudiansky , 1 =mar Road, to discuss herrequestfor a solution to the
sight distance problem, when exiting from Robinson Road to Grove Street.
The Committee explained that Grove Street is posted at 30 m. p. h. and that
there is a Stop Sign on Robinson Road. The Committee also stated that we
agree with her thatthesight distance is indeed poor.
The above notwithstanding, we explained that there is no practical solution
to this situation. A ledge cliff to the right, and the guard rail on the
bridge to the left are the culprits. Removing the ledge is impractical, and
any modification of the bridge is all but impossible.
The Committee does feel , however, that installing two signs, "Vehicles
Entering Right" and "Vehicles Entering Left" , on Grove Street, approaching
Robinson Road, will alert drivers. We unanimously recommed this approach .
Those in attendance:
Peter M. Chalpin
