“If it hadn’t been for the whole town coming together, nothing would have happened,” said Patricia Dufendach, chair of the Pedestrian Safety Committee, at Monday’s Mayor and Council meeting. “That, I’ve discovered, is the key to any endeavor: to be united, be clear in what you want and you can get things done because I have some very good news for you tonight.”
Residents and town leadership in Berlin were crystal clear with what they wanted — stoplights, crosswalks and lower speed limits along Route 113. The State Highway Administration (SHA) will not be granting all of the safety committee’s requests, but Dufendach confirmed Monday that a crosswalk at the intersection of Bay Street and Route 113 should be in place by mid-March as well as an extended sidewalk.

They can lower it to 30MPH if they want but until COPS begin to comply with the laws they are paid to enforce it will never matter.
"It’s been three months since a tragic accident on US Route 113 left one teen injured and took the life of another"
So lowering the speed limit is going to prevent stupidity? I don't think so! Idiots and their new laws.

Well dang, I thought I was the resident cop hater.
It will do no good as long as LEO's exceed the limit while in their cell phones and tapping away on their laptops.

FOIA...request it. You will see the trooper was not speeding, not on phone, not on radio, and not typing away on laptop. You will also see both pedestrians crossed the highway, away from the intersection, not in a crosswalk, and in an unlit area.
Not gonna help...they jaywalked anyway....was the cops cell phone records released.was he on it???i'd like to know...cause everytime time i see one he either has a cell phone in his ear or radar gun in his hand...
610, we all know this is bogus information fed into the system to protect the cop.
Have you ever driven next to a trooper or passed one who was NOT on the phone?
I was NOT born yesterday, and I still have my sight.
Show me proof.
Any attentive driver would have seen the runners and braked. That's the ticket here.
You or I would have a manslaughter charge on our arses.
lol no you wouldn't 9:55 since it wasn't the cops or your fault.
An attentive driver would not have seen the boys, but pedestrians seem to think we can see them at night since they can see our lights. Not so. The limit there was already 50, how is 5mph going to help? A terrible tragedy, but fault rests with the boys who misjudged the oncoming traffic. Paint on a road is not going to fix this.
I'm with 9:55. 100%. AND 9:52.
