MADISON When flocks of quarantine-weary beachgoers topped the limited capacity at Hammonasset State Park on busy weekends last year, officials in charge of nearby town beaches said overflow crowds brought added pressure and concerns about the virus to their shores.
In Madison, the town cut capacity limits at its largest beach in half and banned non-residents from using beach parking on the weekends and holidays. Along the coast, other towns took similar measures to limit out-of-towners from the beaches.
Andrew Kahrl (“Beaches belong to everyone, not a privileged few,” Feb. 18,), has made a career out of criticizing beach-access restrictions at Greenwich Point and elsewhere, but he surely knows the incorrectness of his statement that “(i)n 2001, the state (Connecticut) Supreme Court declared resident-only public beach laws unconstitutional.”
After all, Mr. Kahrl stated in his own 2018 book “Free the Beach” (at page 281) that the Supreme Court decision rejected the notion of a “public trust doctrine” in favor of a theory that Greenwich’s ban on non-residents’ access to its beach violated “the public’s right to free speech.”
I don’t want to suggest that your readers should rely on Mr. Kahrl’s description of what the Connecticut Supreme Court held in 2001, so let’s look at the actual decision.
