Beachowner: Steve W, i can certainly agree with you that you don't want that parking mess in front of your house. I put up with it every day of the year. the city has enough room now at the Jewett House and Tubbs Hill lots to accomodate parking on all but the busiest days of the summer. You say closing Lakeshore to traffic is not a solution that works for you,but you don't say why. If it's not a parking lot, what is it? Why not a walking-biking path? by the way, could you ask the kids to slow down a little when they drive by. My grandkids are out there. I'm trying not to be self centered also, but we bought the beach all the way to the water line. If I kept that attitude we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Steve W: I agree with you that you bought the beach all the way to the water line. I respect that. But you also bought your property with an existing street in front of it. To close off East Lakeshore would put a significantly higher amount of traffic on Ash. That is what I am not in favor of. If it is my son who is driving by your house too fast let me know and I will deal with that ASAP. (Rest of Steve's comment in "extended entry" section)

DFO: A discussion here between a Sanders Beach homeowner and a neighbor is. So. Dang. Cool. Thanks, you guys.
