David Gulley, of the Cross Neck Road Homeowners Association, presented evidence of the flooding on Cross Neck Road.
MARION — A one-mile-long, half-paved road stretching from Marion Golf Club to Brainard Marsh confounded area residents and board members alike during the Selectmen’s meeting on April 6.
Parties debated whether Cross Neck Road truly lies on public or private land, and who should be charged with maintaining a road that, despite its normality in nearly every light, has proved enigmatic in ownership.
David Gulley, of the Cross Neck Road Homeowners Association, presented evidence to suggest the road was indeed a public way. It is listed as such, he said, on the Marion website and in town records; cited as such by the land title company and twice by the town council.
