As long as supplies last if any GMG folks want a bumper sticker but can't drop down the dock, just send a self addressed and stamped envelope longer then 7 and a half inches and I'll drop one in the mail for you.
Send the self addressed and stamped envelope to the dock at 95 East Main St Gloucester Ma 01930 care of Joey (put my name in big letters to make sure it gets to me)

It would have been nice if the walkway had been built to be in compliance with ADA requirements. I heard $60K was spent on the walkway. For $60K it should also have been built out of materials that were intended for exterior use. Maybe someone should have thougt to get the building inspector involved and perhaps get the High School Carpentry Students build it. Looks good and not a big deal. It will most likley need to be rebuilt again next year. Those with cerebal palsy and other disabliites can certainly hang around until a new walkway is built in a year or so.

You’re right though about the ADA requirements. Is a minor fix possible to make a ramp? Seems like it would be an easy fix?

Not a problem with the ramp. It appears that there is a smooth transition from the sidewalk to the walkway. The issue is in the handrails. It’s difficult to wrap your fingers around a 3 1/2″ X 3 1/2″ chunk of wood in order to steady oneself. I don’t know all the ADA requirements which is why the Building Inspector should be involved. Bill Sanborn is a smart indivual and can provide the proper information so that all of Glouccester’s citizens and visitors can enjoy the walkway. Many who are handicapped but not in a wheel chair would enjoy being able to walk the ramp to the end just for the fantastic views, smell the salt air, and feel a part of the GHB community. Though they may not be able to walk on the sand, getting close to it provides a sense on “inclusion” that most of us take for granted. Every little bit that we can do helps those who struggle every day with being a part of the the community. Also, I wonder if there are any handicap parking spaces at the end of the walkway?
I’m not handicapped, at least not yet, but we are all racing towards the day where we will need a
little help from our friends. Let’s do what we can so that everyone can enjoy what Gloucester has to offer!
