We need to stay vigilant. Will these 'mitigations' actually prevent accidents, or are we waiting for a tragedy to occur before we take real action? #HollisNH #LocalGovernment #PublicSafety https://meetingwatch.org/nh/hollis/planning-board/2026-04-21/

Longer-form draft.
Safety concerns are mounting following the Hollis Planning Board meeting on April 21. The primary focus was the Deacon Lane and Proctor Hill subdivision, a proposed 35-home development that includes a new 'right-in/right-out' intersection on Proctor Hill Road. Despite presentation of crash data showing a high frequency of run-off-the-road accidents in that area, the Board voted to move the project into the final design phase. While the Board did not grant final approval, members expressed significant anxiety regarding sight lines, bus stop safety, and municipal liability. One member stated bluntly, 'This intersection isn't safe... Who's liable if something happens there? It's the town.' Additionally, the Board raised red flags regarding a cross-border project in Amherst that would impact Hollis via stormwater runoff into Witches Brook. The Board expressed skepticism regarding the identity of the applicant and the potential for pollutants like oil and asphalt to enter our local waters. As these developments move forward, residents should demand that safety data and environmental protection are prioritized over developer timelines. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/hollis/planning-board/2026-04-21/ #MeetingWatch #HollisNH
