Greenwich Beach Fees: A Forum on a Contentious Issue

A week or so ago some anonymous Greenwich resident sent the Town of Greenwich a check to pay for Paul Kempner’s outstanding entrance fees to Greenwich Point from last year, under the notion that the argument over the non-payment of the Stamford resident's beach fees was nonsense and a waste of time and that everyone would be better off if the dispute would go away (and they had a point).

For the past 10 days or so the Greenwich Time has had an online forum about the beach issue, here. I was surprised at how much sentiment there is for making it easier for non-Greenwich residents to use Greenwich Point. Kempner-the-scofflaw doesn’t get a lot of sympathy but there’s a strong sense that the fees are a bit high for out-of-towners, particularly those on bikes.
