Tisbury Open Space and Recreation Committee voted to address Tashmoo Seating Platform design flaws. The committee approved a motion (5-0) to draft a letter to Kirk Metell, Joe LaCivita, Greg Monka, and Lorraine Wells expressing concerns about a mismatch between the Conservation Commission-approved design and the installed structure, which lacks ADA access and is awkwardly positioned on the walking path. The proposed modifications include removing water-side seating, adding plantings, and installing an ADA ramp, per a letter to be drafted by Lampson and Wallis.
