there has been talk about this recently in our ROW committee. the road is said to be private, but has a long standing history of travel. whether or not it is truely a state ROW is something to be determined. there is talk or looking into this possible closure and possibly adopting one of the access points just west of this road as a ROW.
one thing i am starting to see in RI is that the state does not have the funds or personel to tackle all these ROW issues, from jamestown, barrington, watch hill, quonnie, etc. they keep leaving it up to the town to decide, which is against what the laws of the state say and what crmc states in their guides. strength in numbers and letters to politians and or directors is what may be needed in the future. one thing is certain, our ROWs are being challenged more and more.
