Selectmen tighten parking rules at Bagaduce Landing, ask for signs and move a porta‑potty for summer
Summary
After complaints about parking at Bagaduce Landing and the Community Center, the board voted to require a 10-foot clearance, asked the road commissioner to install no-parking signs on the water side of the road, and approved relocating a porta‑potty to Bagaduce Landing for the summer.
Selectmen addressed recurring parking problems at Bagaduce Landing and the Community Center and took steps to reduce roadside congestion.
At the June 17 meeting, board members recorded a unanimous motion (3-0) directing Town Administrator and Road Commissioner follow-ups: Chairman John H. Gray said he would notify the Good Life Center about the legal requirement to maintain a 10-foot-wide travel lane, and the board asked Daryl Astbury to install no‑parking signs on the water side of the road. Minutes record the measure passed unanimously.
The board also recorded moving a portable toilet from the sand pit to Bagaduce Landing for the summer to serve visitors and event attendees.
Why it matters: Bagaduce Landing is a public access point and boat landing where roadside parking can block travel lanes and emergency access. The selectmen’s actions—notifications, signage and additional facilities—are intended to reduce hazards and improve access during the busy season.
Next steps: according to the minutes, John H. Gray will send the notice to the Good Life Center, and Road Commissioner Daryl Astbury will install the no‑parking signs on the water side of the road. The minutes do not specify enforcement mechanisms or a timetable for sign installation.
