Residents urge town action on River Street blight and safety concerns
Summary
Two River Street residents told the Hopkinton Town Board about 'junk' cars, plowing problems, lack of a turn‑around and alleged harassment; Highway Superintendent Crump and board members discussed next steps including contacting the St. Regis Falls School District about a turnaround.
At the Dec. 16 Hopkinton Town Board meeting, residents Jolene Nichols and Thomas Hartson raised multiple complaints about properties on River Street that they said are producing safety and maintenance problems. They cited “junk” cars left on the properties, repeated plowing issues and the absence of a usable turn‑around, and raised concerns about possible harassment related to enforcement efforts.
Highway Superintendent Crump and board members discussed the concerns and possible remedies. Supt. Crump said he will contact the St. Regis Falls School District about the River Street turn‑around. The item remained a matter for ongoing follow-up rather than an immediate formal action; the board conducted discussion to identify next steps.
