As a member he expressed appreciation to the Board of Selectmen for their rapid response to the <br /> overcrowding emergency at John's Pond. The residents are pleased the signage has been installed appropriately <br /> with gate attendants on duty and police cruisers visible in this area. <br /> With regards to the proposal to install permanent no parking signs Mr. Hedt indicated he is against the <br /> plan as the problem tends to arise during the summer over a few weekends at the expense of the town. Before the <br /> Board of Selectmen takes action it was recommended the residents of Back Road and Hoophole Roads give input <br /> to the proposal. There appears to be a speeding problem and signage does not seem to work on the narrow roads. <br /> Cranberry Avenue resident Sam Singer stated he is also against the signage proposed on Hoophole Road. The <br /> noise on the beach is the problem. It was suggested the town charge a fee for beach access to gain income, and <br /> possibly prohibit fires in the John's Pond picnic area. <br />
