I've lived in the harbor my whole life. I don't know anyone who is apposed to Westport residents using the town land or why it has become an "us" against "them" issue. The selectmen are the ones who voted to close Beach Avenue a few years back and put up a gate because there were too many environmental issues with maintaining it and they hadn't done anything to the road since hurricane Bob. The issue is the town coming up here and bulldozing into fragile beach area without any impact study or surveying being done first. The town was donated a small 100 foot piece of property that abuts conservation land and other privately owned property. They operated for two days down here before having anything surveyed only to find out that they did indeed cut into conservation land. All the residents are asking is that they follow the proper protocol to do such work on the road and not desecrate the area or perform work that will open the town up to lawsuits. They are going forward with out any plan of how they will continue to maintain the road, or for trash removal, or for handicapped access, or for a turnaround for emergency vehicles etc. There are a lot of issues not being addressed, yet the bull dozers are here.
