This morning’s edition of the Newburyport Daily News had the following article:
“PLUM ISLAND””MARKEY TO VISIT DREDGE SITES”
The article quotes the Mayor of Newburyport, Sean Reardon:
“The project will see 220,000 to 300,000 cubic yards of sand dredged from the Merrimack and Piscataqua Rivers and placed on Plum Island to add more than 400 feet of beachfront to rebuild Reservation Terrace.”
This is, at best, a temporary Fix. The longer term fix is to reposition the South Jetty.
The entity hosting the Plum Island Tour Feb 5th is required to offer an alternative tour that is feasible for individuals with disabilities and the elderly.
Posting a statement that the tour is not appropriate or feasible for individuals with disabilities or the elderly does not relieve the hosting entity of the obligation/liability per the American’s with Disabilities Act if it be Title II or any specific applicable Title of the ADA, or other Civil Rights law.
Please consult a professional regarding applicable Civil Rights obligations
