Narragansett, R.I. 84pp. Designer: Wendy Andrews-Bolster, Puffin Enterprises Printed on recycled paper Rhode Island ISBN #0-938412-45-0 Please Note Of all the hundreds of potential public coastal access sites to the shoreline, including street ends and rights-of-way, this guide represents a selection of sites that are both legally available and suitable for use by the public. This guide is not a legal document; it is simply intended to help the public find existing access sites to the coast. As of winter 2003–04, all descriptions are accurate to the best of our knowledge. Each site was visited and descriptions verified to the best of our ability. However, inaccuracies may still exist in the text, since conditions are constantly changing and more sites are being adopted and managed for public use.

  • The Parking Committee's Report on Public Shoreline Access and Rights
    The Parking Committee’s Report on Public Shoreline Access and Rights-of-Way in Jamestown April 7, 1999 Prepared by committee members: Lisa Bryer Claudette Cotter Darcy Magratten Pat Bolger It is not the intent of this study to comment on the status of private versus public ownership on any rights-of-way (ROW). Rather, this study endeavors to compile a list of all CRMC-designated rights-of-way, identified potential ROWs, and public shoreline access points in Jamestown for the purpose of description, review and recommendations to the Town Council for future planning purposes. SIZE, OWNERSHIP & DESCRIPTION: In this report, we have relied upon the work of Rebecca Carlisle, Planning Office intern in the summer of 1992 (a report she compiled which was later forwarded to CRMC and has become the basis of identifying ROWs in Jamestown), the CRMC progress report as of June 1998, reference to the Coastal Resource Center’s publication "Public Access to the Rhode Island Coast", survey maps drawn by Robert Courneyor as part of Rebecca Carlisle’s report, Jamestown Planning Offices plat maps, Jamestown GIS material and recent photographs. REVIEW: Each member of the subcommittee visited, walked, noted current conditions, discussed each site, and also reviewed prior recommendations where applicable. The review took into consideration how accessible each site was–both by car and foot, the access & grade to the shoreline, the proximity of neighbors, the availability of parking, the availability of trash receptacles and other recreational facilities. RECOMMENDATIONS: A rating system of 1 to 3 was used to prioritize each site. Number 1 sites should be fully supported and maintained with existing parking and facilities.
