The
Copicut Neighborhood Association, the newest
neighborhood association, representing the area of the Copicut
Reservoir and the reservation, met for the second time at the home
of Linda Buchanan and Kendrick Dias on Copicut Road. Those in attendance
included Mayor
William Flanagan, Police Chief Daniel Racine, Building Inspector
Joseph Biszko, Director of Community Maintenance Kenneth Pacheco, Water
Department director John Friar, city forester Michael Labossierre,
neighborhood coordinator Perry Long and city administrator Sean Cadime.
Neighborhood Association president and Copicut Road resident Sara
Riley, presided over the meeting. Open
access to the reservoir for passive recreation, fixing potholes, and
the condition of nearby dirt roads fueled discussion on the idea of gating
portions of some of those isolated problem roads by Mr. Friar. "I
have found it to be extremely helpful as I govern to hear directly from
the community on issues affecting their quality of life," Mayor
William Flanagan said. There are 14 neighborhood associations,
representing most sections of the city. Click
