I am a 25+ year home owner on John St and the issue I would like considered is two fold: 1. There has been an increase in traffic volume on this street over the past years due to increased business. The speed of traffic has also risen with many cars barreling down the street.

2. More recently, there has been a greater number of large trucks - oftentimes 18 wheelers coming down this street. The narrowness of this street does not allow for these vehicles to make way for others. Also this is a residential street with many children and the likelihood of a vehicle of this size stopping in a timely manner seems limited. Nuisance noise is also considerable during the day but also some of these trucks often travel in very early morning hours.

John Street has always served as a cut through to avoid the center of town but now with the increase businesses on Walkers Brook I believe it is taking on too much of the traffic burden for this area.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
