| Location of road bumps on Merritt Lane was
discussed. Mr. O'Brian, 2 Merritt, felt that six bumps were excessive.
Gabrielle Dietrich and Krishna Anjur, 11 Merritt, felt one bump should be
closer to Montgomery because as presently configured there is time for
cars to speed up before reaching Montgomery Avenue. Mayor Nolan said the
present design calls for five bumps. Mr. Staph said the configuration was
based on recommendations from the Institute of Traffic Engineers but the
fifth bump could be moved closer to Montgomery and still allow for grade.
