All of the comments come from neighbors to the project, what are you really concerned about? The piping plovers did not nest off Beach Ave according to Mass Audubon or is it the white trash that may come to your neighborhood? The piping plovers next near the Elephant Beach Rock Club, I would start there.

Derek says he is a detective, and makes the assertion that Selectmen Spirlet will gain financially. The land is owned by Brian Corey, so I am not sure how that is, but nice try.

I drove by the strip of beaches owned by the Town and the Land Trust and there were close to 70 people on them with no cars there. My guess is the local people prefer to keep the public land for themselves. Very selfish to use the environment as a front for your socioeconomic prejudices.

The Guilds, I agree any vandalism is wrong and it is a shame that there are people who would destroy property that people have worked so hard to obtain.

Mr. Duncan, I agree the valuations of harbor property are wrong and all should be reevaluated to make sure the Town is getting everything that is due. The purchase of the land would come from CPC funds, which could not be used for the schools or other items you mentioned so have no fear the children of Westport will be OK.

From: Bulldozers move in to clear Beach Avenue; beach purchase moves ahead
