Index of Subjects Ian, can you tell us if the proposed road would come in from W. Lawrencetown Rd.? Don googled a road/satellite map which showed a road off the W. Lawrencetown Rd. which comes down almost to the beach. Do they want to build a bridge across the channel there to connect them to the beach? Would this mean they would be driving cars, ATV's, etc. on the beach? I know that end of the beach is Piping Plover territory, and driving on the beach would affect lots of other things as well.
