To be fair you should tell both sides of the story. Every year the Town has cleaned the road they have put the sand on the beach. Why is it different this year? This year the residents made so many phone calls and sent so many emails that the Endangered Species Program they asked that the sand not be placed on the beach until they came down. The Town is stockpiling it down the road for future nourishment.

Why are the residents complaining so much this year? Usually it is a day of complaints, but this year it is non-stop. Is it really about cleaning the road, or something else?

The residents who are complaining about sand be trucked away are the reason it had to be done. Shame on them for using the environment to mask the real reason they do not want the road opened so the beach cannot be opened to the public.
