Hopkinton opposes utility anchor wire for leaning pole

Town officials agree a utility pole on Cedar Street that looks like it’s about to topple needs to be replaced, but they don’t support a plan to anchor it to another pole across the street. The Select Board sent a Verizon representative back to the drawing board to come up with another solution. The pole is jointly owned by Eversource and Verizon.

The plan calls for replacing the leaning pole and install another one across the street to anchor it.
