The Shoreline Access Task Force heard mostly compliments at both its Tuesday morning meeting and a followup that afternoon with the Town Board.
It’s certain that no overall plan to control access to beaches for residents, visitors and day-trippers will please everyone, but efforts are being made to ensure everyone has some access to the water, whether or not they have permits. Another step that won applause was Chairman Peter Vielbig’s proposal to use a service capable of delivering permits at sites for those who need day passes.

Councilwoman Amber Brach-Williams, a Republican who also serves as deputy town supervisor, is up for re-election this November, but the Democrats will only endorse Mr. Surerus for the board, said Democratic Party Chairwoman Heather Reylek.
