November 22, 2013 The Dispatch/Maryland Coast Dispatch Page 7 . . Group Circulating Petition To Present To State Highway FROM PAGE 6 “We can go ahead and tell folks, ‘this is where you need to be walking,’ and I think that will help things,” he said. Drivers should also lead by example and slow down as they cross through Berlin, according to Councilwoman Lisa Hall. Burrell agreed. “We can do what’s right. We can drive our own personal cars 45 or 35 [mph],” he said. As the safety suggestions continued to mount, resident Gabe Purnell reminded those in attendance that it’s not just about signs and lights but about a community being united in a common goal. He considers Route 113 in a way symbolic of historic troubles that go beyond pedestrian safety and touch on the racial tensions of years past. “If you look at 113, and I hate to bring this up but it’s history, and we need to understand our history or else we’ll repeat it again, as so many people have said,” Purnell said. “[Route] 113, if you look at it, it precisely separates the communities, whites on one side and blacks on the other. And we’re paying dearly today for that.” The statement was met with a chorus of agreement from the audience. Dufendach admitted that it’s something that has long troubled her, but a problem she sees as surmountable. Crosswalks would better connect each side of Route 113 for walkers and bikers. A united response from the town to last week’s tragedy is its own display of connectivity, Dufendach said. “We have to know where we’ve been but we can move forward and join ourselves back together,” she promised. There were other questions asked at the meeting about the investigation into last week’s accident, including how fast the trooper was driving, that the committee was unable to answer. But Dufendach assured residents that once all of the facts were clear she had every confidence in the State Police to make that information available. The town will compile the suggestions offered this week and present them to SHA next month. The safety petition is currently circulating throughout the town and residents are encouraged to contact SHA and their own elected representatives, both state and local.
