Colella, Seconsett Island. <br /> I am writing regarding the issue of both the parking situation, and use of a small beach on Seconsett Island: <br /> Recognizing that the area is used for multiple activities and the parking available is a finite resource, it is a <br /> difficult problem but one that needs to be addressed in some form. Perhaps a town authorized sign indicating <br /> the following,that the beach: <br /> • is for Mashpee residents only, <br /> • and for mooring permit holders only to access their boats. <br /> I think this would be a positive first step and one that enforcement could be tied to. Stickers might help,but <br /> enforcement would need to be part of that equation as well. <br /> There is little room to start with, especially,given that the beach is small and is compounded by people <br /> accessing their mooring with their small boats and motors. Those from Seconsett Island who want to walk or . <br /> drive to the beach are often squeezed out by the above listed activities as well as those who park while shell <br /> fishing. I and others have seen people park at the beach and go off in a boat that is not from that mooring field <br /> as well as people with Falmouth stickers on their cars use the beach. Again, I believe a sign is a positive first <br /> step in attempting to curtail improper use. <br /> On another issue I would like to see the speed limit reduced during the summer months at least to 20 MPH <br /> from 30WH on this stretch of road for the safety of pedestrians walking to the beach or crossing from parked <br /> cars. <br /> Thank You Again <br /> Stephen F Colella <br /> 1 <br />
