Fotoman: Can Clock Be Rolled Back on Sanders?

Fotoman: beachowner, I am a baby boomer native, and I grew up enjoying Sander’s beach. But I haven’t been there in decades, and I’ve only vaguely followed the lawsuits. I sort of figured the new selfish owners were ruining it for the general public. But now I’m not so sure. You’ve brought up some interesting points. Just for the heck of it, what do you think would be the perfect solution to the beach issue? What if we could roll back the clock. And what if you could be the magic fairy and make everything right. What would you do?

Beachowner: Sorry, Fotoman, the lawsuit has made it impossible to roll back the clock for most of the owners. The city has a proposal from the owners dated April 23, 2004, allowing public access in exchange for no parking on east lakeshore drive. Sounds pretty simple and most of would accept that now. Apparently, that was too much to ask then. Even our own DFO called it loopy. (Remember that Dave?) Mothers with strollers would have to hike the steep side streets to the beach?
