Local Comprehensive Plan
Town of Eastham Local Comprehensive Plan Third Edition 2010 – DRAFT Board of Selectmen Linda Burt Aimee Eckman Carol F. Martin – Vice Chair Martin McDonald – Chair David W. Schropfer – Clerk Town Administrator Sheila Vanderhoef Town Planner Sarah Raposa Third Edition – 2010 Page ii INTRODUCTION In 1990, the Cape Cod Commission was established and charged with the preparation and implementation of a regional land use policy plan. In 1991, the Commission adopted the Regional Policy Plan which has since . The original Plan has been updated effective ; the newest version is January 16, 2009 as amended June 18, 2010. The Plan was designed to help local planning committees identify important goals and policies for their towns, and to help fund and develop established guidelines for the development of local comprehensive plans. Eastham is one of fifteen (15) towns on Cape Cod (Barnstable County). The boundaries of the Town are dominated by its coastlines (the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Cape Cod Bay to the west), both approximately four and one-half (4.5) miles in length, and by the Towns of Wellfleet to the north and Orleans to the south. Eastham lies at the base of the outer arm of Cape Cod, ninety-two (92) miles from both Boston and Providence, R. I. The Town has approximately fourteen and one-quarter (14 ¼) square miles of upland (9,120 acres) of which nearly one-third (3,000 acres) is within the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service. Eastham has the distinction of being the gateway to the National Park Service Seashore. -
PHASE I Project Report: Cape Cod Seasonal Passenger Rail Service
TPRG PHASE I Project Report: Cape Cod Seasonal Passenger Rail Service Prepared for Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority by the Transportation Planning and Resource Group, March 2012 (_) 1 TPRG ( 1. Project: Cape Cod Seasonal Train Service The Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority (CCRTA) engaged the Transportation Planning and Resource Group (TPRG) to explore if and how seasonal passenger rail service (essentially during summer weekends) could be reintroduced to provide a rail connection to Hyannis. Cape Cod suffers from extreme road and bridge congestion due, in part, from the need for most visitors to use the existing two roadway bridges (Sagamore and Bourne). Summer traffic on the bridges almost doubles and has increased significantly over the years. This extensive congestion is not good for either Cape Cod's economy (with a significant focus on tourism) or the air quality. At the same time, there is a vastly improved local public transportation network on Cape Cod. The purpose of this initiative is determine if and how to use the existing railroad right-of way (owned by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts through its Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT)) to encourage those who are Cape-bound to comfortably, reliably and efficiently come to Cape Cod on the train rather than in an ( automobile. The target service would be weekends between Memorial Day and Labor Day(Boston to Hyannis Friday afternoons/evenings with return Sunday afternoons and Saturday round trip service). The initial study plan was to focus on the steps necessary to bring back rail service originating in Boston with a target date of summer 2012. -

Neal Gray: a Life in His Own Words and Pictures
Neal Gray: A Life In His Own Words and Pictures A Life Well and Fully Lived 1924-2009 Part I: History Compiled from Neal Gray’s Emails, 2009 By Sandra Waddock From Knickers to 85: Neal’s History in Words and Pictures June 2, 2009 Dear Angels and Friends: In response to many requests let's look back again to the 1920's and 1930's. This is a more complete version of one sent a while back: I'm now officially 85. It does not feel a lot different from 84, but then it isn't like going from 12 to 13 or 20 to 21. Those were big milestones. At 13, I no longer had to wear knickers and could now wear pants. At 21, I could now legally drink alcohol.. Yes, big milestones. 84 to 85, Poof, just another year older and like the song "deeper in debt." Well, not really, but really deeper in friends. Below, me in knickers in the summer. The car behind me is an Auburn, I think. Ahh, the Auburn. At one point in this time frame the family owned an Auburn Pheaton. It was four doors, and the top folded down. If you put it up when it rained, you put on "side curtains". These were canvas with isinglass (plastic to you) windows stitched in. My MG's had them as did my Austin Healey. Anyway, one night my sister borrowed the car to take friends to a yacht club dance. It had two jump seats in the back seat area and would hold 8 passengers. -
