STATE LETTER ON SNYDER HILL ROAD-SPEED LIMITS
Supervisor Kerr read a letter from Charles E. Besanceney, Director of
the New York State Traffic Engineering and Safety Division which
denied the Tovm's request for lower maximum speed limit on Snyder
Hill Road. Mr. Besanceney's reasons:
The highway investigated was between Pine Tree Road and the easterly
town line of Ithaca and the marginal or roadside development was
noted to be generally light. Volume of vehicular and pedestrian
traffic was also observed to be light with no apparent speed problem
to warrant an affective lower speed limit it would demand a marginal
development that is more dense.
