WESTPORT — A boat landing adjacent to Gooseberry Island last summer was stripped of its status as the only free, town-owned boat landing in town. Selectmen are now mulling over whether it should remain that way.
Selectmen at last week’s meeting were joined by Beach Committee members and Landing Commissioners to review whether the landing should be available only as parking for townspeople with parking passes. The landing is located on East Beach Road.
Among other options, selectmen are mulling over whether paid parking there should be seasonal or year-round. The issue might be voted on at the Jan 19 meeting, after selectmen and other authorities conduct more research on the matter.
