At its meeting Tuesday, Tuesday, the planning board recommended that the Martha’s Vineyard Land Bank create a five- to six-foot-wide dirt path within the public right of way, with minimum clearing of trees in the area.
The Edgartown planning board heard complaints about the restoration of Swimming Place Path last week, but said the select board will be the decision makers on the project.
The town is seeking to improve public access to Swimming Place Path, a nearly 350-year-old trail that connects Herring Creek Road and the Road to the Plains. The ancient way was first recorded in Edgartown records in 1675.
