Good morning, Hopkinton! Welcome to the daily update we call Hopkinton Today — a quick recap of yesterday’s news, highlights of what’s on tap, and a photo and video of the day.

Leading off Independent Thoughts, in case you missed it, the town last month announced plans to install barriers along West Main Street, between the two gas stations, in an effort to cut down on the number of accidents there — a section of roadway Police Chief Joseph Bennett previously noted is the most accident-prone in town.

At its meeting on Wednesday, the Parks & Recreation Commission discussed the designs for public pickleball courts, the town’s “all-hands meeting” as well as current and upcoming projects.

This week’s Baypath Adoptable Animal is 8-year-old Rocky, a “perfect gentleman” who “really loves to be around people.”

This week’s Business Profile highlights HCAM, Hopkinton’s local cable access station, which has debuted a new live program called “Hopkinton Weekly,” airing most Wednesday evenings.

Town offices will be closed today in recognition of Veterans Day.
