Hillsdale board drops further consideration of closing Maple Street
Summary
After reviewing title complexity, DOT coordination challenges and potential litigation costs, the town voted to discontinue further consideration of an earlier proposal to close Maple Street, citing other higher priorities.
The board voted to discontinue further consideration of closing Maple Street, reversing an earlier exploratory action. Supervisor and town engineers reported that pursuing closure would likely require expensive title work, surveys and potential litigation and that coordination with DOT made the project financially and administratively impractical at this time.
The chair summarized the rationale: pursuing title reports and litigation would increase costs exponentially, and the town has other infrastructure priorities. The motion to discontinue consideration passed unanimously.
