Re: Iron Ore Creek — Why One Small Creek Matters

When I was caretaker at the Lighthouse in 1980, I carried 5 gallon buckets of brook trout fry a mile upstream to restock the creek. I guess it paid off!

Re: Gull Harbor

Sadly, this has become an all too common occurrence. No trespassing/private property signs and gates have restricted access to state land, conservancy preserves, inland trails and riparian beaches. No camping on French Bay, no entry to Green's Bay and more are not welcoming. I respect people's right...

Re: Paving of East Side Drive

Great Idea. I hate to think of how many "gaylord" boxes of shingles the Transfer station has had to pay to ship off the island.

In the interest of providing positive possible solutions,

Re: Paving of East Side Drive

By your own math, the paving of King’s highway has lasted 28 years without major repairs. Investing in the future health and safety of the island infrastructure was a good plan then as it is now.

Re: Paving of East Side Drive

Reality Check. Safety first. The Island population HAS already changed. Unless you wish to hold mandatory "Amy" driving classes, or stringently enforce safer driving by changing speed limits or increasing law enforcement, we will continue to endanger the health of children, the safety of c...

Re: Paving of East Side Drive

Better than lung silicosis, washboard car repairs, and our tax dollars going to road grading and dust remediation. Please pave all the way to Hannigan and other high traffic areas. Gravel was quaint while the population was low. Now travel at unsafe speeds and reduced visibility in dust clouds is ju...
