I am the vice-chairman for the RISAA public access committee. I am writing this with the hope that you will be able to attend a very important meeting on Wednesday November 19 at the Town Library auditorium (upstairs) at 7:30 pm.

You may have already heard that this year, attempts have been made to restrict nighttime parking at the Daunis right of way, which is located at the end of Nayatt road. The two parking spots on the right of way is the only way to access the shore for miles in either direction, and restricting nighttime parking would eliminate the prime hours for fishing. Regardless of the outcome, this decision will set precedent throughout the state.

In addition to this, the council will now also consider doing the same at the boat ramp at Haines state park…one of the best and most popular boat ramps in the area.

We need town residents to speak out against these restrictions. Please attend this meeting and state that you live in town and want the right of way to remain open and accessible to the public twenty four hours a day. If you can’t attend the meeting for any reason, please write the town council stating your position. If you are married I encourage you to have your spouse attend or write a letter as well.

We also need people like me, who doesn’t live in town, but use both areas to be there and let the town council know how these ordinances would negatively affect you.

If you like I can email you a short letter, where all you will have to do is fill in you name and address.
