'Abusive' Behavior Reported Near Williamstown Bike Trail Project

Staff Reports03:59PM / Tuesday, May 31, 2022Print Story | Email Story

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The town is asking users of Cole Field, Linear Park and the Spruces to heed warning signs and respect workers building the Mohawk Bike Path.

The town reports that people have been "removing sedimentation controls, survey markers and signage" and using profanity toward workers on the job site.

"If this pattern of destructive and abusive behavior continues, it will be necessary for the town to close the Spruces and other access points for the duration of the summer," according to a news release on the letterhead of interim Town Manager Charlie Blanchard.

The bike trail, which runs from Syndicate Road near North Street to the Spruces Park on Main Street, is expected to be completed this summer or early fall.

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Six candidates are running in the November election for the four 4-year terms open on the seven-person Mount Greylock Regional School Committee.

All voters in the two member towns can cast ballots for up to two candidates from among three people running for the Lanesborough representative seats and up to two candidates from among the three vying for the two Williamstown seats. This year, voters will have to write in their choices as an error prevented the candidates' names from appearing on the ballot.

iBerkshires asked all six candidates about their views and positions on topics relative to the School Committee. You can find their answers on our candidates' page here.
