Second Electric Manhole to be Installed
Installation of the first electric manhole vault was completed ahead of schedule and work on the second electric manhole may begin on Wednesday, October 20 and if not, then it will begin on Thursday, October 21. The work will take place between Mt. Auburn and Mayhew Street and is anticipated to take up to 3-5 days to complete.
Please see the attached technical plan outlining the work area (highlighted in green).
Draft Traffic Management Plans for utility vault work areas between 85/135 and Commonwealth Ave. are available on the project website.
This work will require a lane shift to maintain two lanes of traffic. Police details will be present 24-hours a day as the work will require several days to complete while the excavation pit remains open with jersey barriers installed around the open excavation. Work hours during the day will remain 7:00am 3:00pm but may be extended if necessary. Temporary lighting is proposed overnight for the protection of detail officers and for vehicle safety travelling through the shifted lane overnight.
The plan provides two lanes of traffic through the work area delineated by cones or barrels. There may be the need to temporarily go down to one lane of alternating traffic for short periods of time.

The Town and the Contractor will be reaching out to any abutters that will be directly impacted by these operations with regard to limited or no access to driveways.
The Town of Hopkinton appreciates your patience and consideration while we work to support MassDOT’s project to revitalize our downtown infrastructure.

The Zoning Advisory Committee is a nine-member board appointed by the Planning Board,
typically with representatives from the Planning Board, Conservation Commission,
Chamber of Commerce and the Board of Appeals, as well as At-Large positions. The
Committee meets one or two times a month, usually on Monday evenings.
The purpose of the Zoning Advisory Committee is to review and develop proposals for
zoning bylaw and zoning map amendments, and make recommendations to the Planning
Board. Zoning bylaws generally regulate the use of land, buildings, and structures.
The Zoning Advisory Committee holds an annual public forum in the fall to hear ideas and
proposals for desired changes to the Zoning Bylaw and/or the Zoning Map from residents.
This is an opportunity to propose changes to the land uses permitted in specific areas in
Hopkinton, the manner in which certain uses are permitted, dimensional requirements, or
other ideas with respect to land use regulation.
The Zoning Advisory Committee is holding the 2021 Public Forum on October 25, 2021 at
7:00 PM, remotely via Zoom. The Zoning Advisory Committee encourages residents to
attend this forum and provide ideas and proposals for amendments to the Zoning Bylaws,
whether they are changes to regulations currently in place or entirely new regulations.
Access information for the Zoom meeting is below:
