They u~eEll noon be #arced to turn ar~to winter st. So again I'm proposing Lincoln street at Winter St become a D~ Nod Enter. Another option is winter street and urenter st extension not be allowed to turn up an L~ncoin st. Another aiternativ~ is to have some type of flashing 6Eghted sign that says dangerous curve, € have lived here 16 years and the amount of a~cid~nts I know About - I just Feel that someChing needs to be changed in an ~tt~m~t ~c1 prevent dar~gera~s situations.  2b M. ;~ • s ,.
