News & Notes: Pittsfield Homeowners Like Their Dead-End
By Larry Kratka Berkshire News Network 11:39AM / Tuesday, September 23, 2008
Pittsfield City Council Meeting
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — The Pittsfield City Council will meet tonight at 7:30 with a light agenda.
One item that will come up tonight will be a petition signed by 29 Hungerford St. residents who want their section of the street to remain a dead-end.
The road is currently operating as a dead-end because a bridge has been deemed unsafe and since the street has been designated as a dead-end, the neighborhood residents like it. The street is very narrow — it's only 21 feet wide and has no sidewalks.
Berkshire Bank Food Drive Continues
PITTSFIELD — The Berkshire Bank and Berkshire Insurance Group's companywide food drive will continue through Friday. The drive is being done through the Employee Volunteer Program and benefits local food pantries and food banks in the regions served by the Bank and Berkshire Insurance Group.
Collection points for the food drive are located at all bank branches and insurance offices throughout the Berkshire Bank system in Berkshire County, the Pioneer Valley, the Capital Region in New York and in Southern Vermont.
