Mr. Nicholson inspected the area, finding no street signage <br /> and identifying Shields Avenue as such, per the Subdivision plan.

Mr. Campbell stated that Santuit Lane was the historical road name and represented <br /> a lot of history in the area. Mr. Campbell suggested merging all roadways to Santuit Lane,which <br /> would be the only so named, in Mashpee. <br /> Donna Sewell, Santuit Lane, expressed her opposition to changing the name. Ms. Sewell stated that <br /> she had been involved with three emergency calls with no problems. <br /> George Schmidt, Santuit Lane, agreed that the lack of signage was an issue, and noted that Santuit <br /> Lane existed long before the establishment of Shields Road.
