Rhode Island residents deserve special treatment to ensure they don’t get turned away from state beaches, as some did Sunday afternoon, July 8 when the state closed beaches to newcomers because of overcrowding.
That’s one repeat sentiment in projo.com’s survey asking what the state can do to keep the beaches open.
Here’s a sampling of suggestions:
—Some beaches reserved only for Rhode Islanders.
—Cheaper entry fees for Rhode Island residents.
—Distant parking lots with shuttle service set up for nonresidents, so Rhode Islanders have access to the parking lots at the state’s beaches.
