BERLIN — The state Department of Transportation has rejected a request from the city and chamber of commerce to lower the speed limit on Route 110 between Jericho Mountain State Park and Dalton Mountain Motor Sports to allow ATV use on that section.

“This is not a new issue or request,” DOT Assistant Commissioner William Cass wrote in response to a letter signed by the city, the Androscoggin Valley Chamber and the Berlin Industrial Development and Park Authority. “The speed limit on this section has been previously reviewed and the present 50 mile-per-hour posting has been determined appropriate for the use and character of the road and abutting land uses,” Cass said.
