Has boater access been restricted at the Weirs?

mcDude...

I am pretty sure theyare on track to be finished before Ice Out.... and with the Spring Derby cancelled I doubt there would be any boat access issues at all...

Not sure about the snowmobile access as the RR tracks are a Corridor trail.... usually the city leaves the snow where the parking for the Mount would normally be.... Busby is using that for a worksite.

I assume the sleds have to run down the middle of Lakeside Ave for a few hundred feet..

Hi mcdude

I don't know of anything specifically at the Weirs; I was referring mainly to the shut down of Ames Farm as a public launch facility, and to the new attempt by the folks responsible for that to restrict public lauinch ramps within a certain distance of residences. I actually have neighbors that no longer bother with fishing tournaments on Winni because of the Ames Farm shutdown.

But, in a way, no rafting zones are also a restriction of public access to certain portions of the lake, and those things have ben proliferating over the last few years.

Hey...check out that Bill Hemmel aerial photo of the Weirs Waterslide that's in today's www.citizen.com Anybody on this board down at the 11-am auction today?

What's the latest? Who bought it? Is it destined to be a Super Dunkin' Donuts? Will it become the area's 4th CVS or maybe just continue as what it is, the Weirs Beach Waterslide?

Will all the crummy, rotten, cold, damp & rainy weather for the last three straight summers, running a waterslide biz must be more than a little challenging.

Here is a blow up of that photo:

Say - I betcha maybe it's within 200' of the shoreline which would put any construction under the purvue of the Shoreline Protection Act which, as I recall, restricts construction of impervious surfaces to 25%, or something like that.

Maybe the new owner can design a non-impervious parking lot somehow? Pave it with crushed seashells maybe?

Most likely, imho, the Waterslide will join the Big Banana as a blast from the past, and get replaced by a name-brand chain store like DD.

Heard it on a Mass station today and they said one of the interested parties is the current owners wife. That sounds weird.

The buyer is a 30-year-old real estate investor from Bedford who said he has been summering in the Weirs Beach area since he was a child.

Let's hope so...then the State can keep its extortion tactics and grubby paws off of our LLC personal income that they so conveniently refer to as "INTEREST & DIVIDENDS, for the simply purpose of grabbing money to make up for their out of control spending.

Look South Governor Lynch, look south toward Mass. See what happened this week to the tax & spend democrats. You and your tax & spend cronies are next - just wait and see.

Actually FLL I am in the ready mix concrete business and there is a product we produce called pervious concrete which allows water to filter through the parking pavement into the ground for just these situations.
