The Board of Selectmen was in receipt of the emails and phone messages regarding the July 18-19, 2020 weekend from the Director of Recreation and residents about vehicular congestion, unreasonable noise and unsanitary conditions. Parking has become a public safety issue. During this time there was parking on both sides of the road which created unsafe conditions for those walking and running on the road. As a result of this concern Town Manager Rodney C. Collins has recommended the Board consider the following solutions; Expand the no parking restriction on Hooppole Road, Back Road and the immediate listed roads on temporary and emergency basis until a public hearing can be conducted and a permanent restriction could be adopted on August 10, 2020 and due to the COVID-19 and the limitations on crowds, it is recommended that beaches be limited to Mashpee residents, members of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe, and those with vehicle disability plates or placards and/or current Town beach permits during this temporary restriction.
