SILVER CREEK – Residents on a stretch of Stewart Avenue in Hanford Bay are going to court to force the Town of Hanover to maintain that section of the road.  Robert Whalen, one of the residents, said the town has maintained the roadway for more than 50 years, and he and 10 other residents are asking that the town continue the practice. Whalen said the group of residents filed a suit against the town, a case that will be heard July1 in State Supreme Court.  Whalen said Supervisor Todd Johnson and Highway Superintendent Steve D’Angelo were named in the suit.

D’Angelo said he is aware of Whalen’s complaint but has not received any notice to appear. D’Angelo said the affected residents live on a private road that is far below town standards.  “I have specifications for town roads, and this does not even come close to the dimensions,” D’Angelo said.  Read more:
