Town officials said they are hoping to start allowing oversand vehicle access on Norton Point as soon as next week.
A proposed shorebird conservation restriction could hamper oversand vehicle (OSV) access on the Island and across the state.
After releasing an initial draft of the plan last June, the Trustees spent the year gathering public feedback on topics such as oversand vehicle access, shorebird protections and pet regulations.
The Edgartown conservation commission conditionally approved The Trustees of Reservations application to sell OSV permits on Trustees property from Wasque to the Jetties.
Edgartown Conservation Commission members have raised concerns regarding the number of vehicles the Trustees’ allow on their trails and whether the organization would be able to secure sufficient staffing for the summer volume.
