‘Walk Smart Berlin’ Campaign Launched; Route 113 Speed Study Underway

BERLIN — Incoming safety improvements to US Route 113 were outlined this week following a meeting between the Berlin Pedestrian Safety Committee and the State Highway Administration (SHA).

The committee is riding the tide of community demand for changes to the road following the death of one teenager and injury of another in a vehicle and pedestrian collision in November.
“We’ve had a whirlwind month,” Patricia Dufendach, committee chair, told the Berlin Town Council Monday. “So much has happened in this last month. A tragic accident and a community response to that accident that has been overwhelmingly positive because we want to make changes in our community that are meaningful and increase safety and reduce the chance of death on a highway that dissects our community.”

Not that it has anything to do with this post,but I noticed willow trees along the street in the photo.They are beautiful trees but I rarely see them anymore.Maybe because they're a nuisance to maintain possibly?
