Lane Restriction on Liberty Street Bridge Continues as July Meetings Pile Up
Easthampton produced no urgent breaking news in the past 24 to 48 hours, but a lane restriction on Liberty Street Bridge and a pair of upcoming summer events are worth keeping on your radar as the week closes out.
TOWN HALL
A lane restriction remains active on Liberty Street Bridge, according to the town's homepage traffic alert. No additional details on duration or detour routes were posted in the current cycle. Residents traveling that corridor should allow extra time and watch for posted signage.
Earlier notices still in circulation remind residents that water use restrictions are in effect — a standing concern as summer temperatures rise — and the Fire Department's blood drive, posted June 15, continues to be promoted by the town. A "We Are Hiring" notice posted June 11 indicates the city has open positions; residents can check easthamptonma.gov for details.
Looking ahead at the meeting calendar, the Board of Assessors convenes June 30, followed by the Community Garden Committee on July 2. The week of July 7 brings a notably full slate: the Planning Board, the City Council Public Safety Committee, and the Historical Commission are all scheduled to meet.
COMMUNITY & ARTS
Note: The library source retrieved in this cycle resolved to the East Hampton Library in East Hampton, New York — not Easthampton, Massachusetts. No usable content from the Easthampton Public Library at easthamptonpubliclibrary.org was available in this cycle.
The town calendar does show a Technology Help session at the Easthampton Public Library on July 1 and again on July 8 — both recurring drop-in opportunities for residents needing digital assistance. Further out, Arts in the Park featuring The Hard Knox Band is scheduled for July 10 at a town park location; check easthamptonma.gov/calendar for times and venue details.
