Thanks for the update on Horseneck. I am "tuned in" and aware that it is a state facility. Perhaps the town could reach an agreement with the state to provide access for their handicapped/disabled residents and ensure their safe passage and access to the beach. Similarly, the town could approach the private clubs and seek access for townspeople in need on a mutually beneficial basis. The current plan for Beach Avenue does not in my opinion provide proper facilities (sanitary) and resources to ensure safe access for those in need.

Many of your opinions are stated as facts, but accusing myself and others of having myopic view of our fellow townspeople is misguided. You introduced the notions of "white trash" and "socioeconomic predjudice", not me. You can't have it both ways.

The townspeople have parking and safe access to the Beach Avenue area as you desire now. So what's missing?

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