Does your access strategy include access via trail for people walking, biking and rolling? – NOT YET. TO BE DETERMINED. GOOD SUGGESTION.
Will this shoreline stabilization be a living shoreline or rip rap? – OUR GRANT PROPOSAL IS FOR A LIVING SHORELINE.
Where is the proposed the ferry dock area. – WHITEHALL CREEK AT THE END OF THE HOLLY WALK. A MAP IS IN THE VOLPE REPORT.
I did not know about any previous meetings you have had outside of BCC’s meeting in April in the Cape.

I AM JUST AN INVITED PARTICIPANT.
