POINT: Keep your hands off

| June 18, 2014 9:22 PM

Well, here we go again, we have a new mayor who is backpedaling on his campaign promises to maintain public access to the waterfront. Obviously his loyalty is with his old boss at the resort, who doesn’t want to view the cars and the public from his office. There is absolutely NO reason to remove the parking from that lot. For handicap, you just need to mark several spots as handicap only.

From the picture in Sunday’s Press you have made it more difficult for handicapped to get to the beach. All you need to do is add a ramp for wheelchairs to the beach. By pushing the public away from the lake you have shown your true ignorance as to how to deal with public land. Just as the parking for boats at the park, where cars are parking where the boat trailers are set aside for. You need to enforce the parking there and have the cars towed who are taking up that space. Too much mismanagement is going on in town!
