National Park Service maybe increasing access to Chesapeake

Post by ILikeRust »

Just received via e-mail from Boat U.S. - seems a worthy issue to make everyone aware of, in case you're not a Boat U.S. member or don't get the e-mails.

Do you think boaters need better public access sites around the Bay? The National Park Service wants to know. They are holding a series of public meetings at which boaters can tell them where facilities like ramps and dinghy docks should be located. BoatU.S. encourages you to attend one of these workshops to share your thoughts in person.

The meeting dates and locations are:

Tuesday, June 21 – 5:30pm to 7:30pm
Fish and Boat Commission Headquarters (Susquehanna Room)
1601 Elmerton Avenue
Harrisburg, PA

Wednesday, June 22 – 5:30pm to 7:30pm
Ft. McHenry Visitor Center
2400 East Fort Avenue
Baltimore, MD

Monday, June 27 – 5:30pm to 7:30pm
Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library (Room A-10)
901 G Street NW
Washington, DC

Tuesday, June 28 – 5:30pm to 7:30pm
Dept. of Game and Inland Fisheries Headquarters (Board Room)
4000 West Broad Street
Richmond, VA

If you cannot attend one of the public meetings please visit the National Park Service web site, www.baygateways.net for more information. Starting June 21st, 2011 there will be an interactive map of the Bay on this web site where you can pinpoint actual locations that need better boating access.
