Norton Access Plan.pdf

Chaotic parking and traffic circulation
User conflicts between boaters, swimmers, kayakers, and picnickers
Lack of uniform signage and clear rules and regulations
Public safety concerns, including fire rescue boat access and camping permit issues
Environmental concerns, including water quality and habitat preservation

Proposed solutions:
Implement one-way circulation and parking restrictions
Direct different users to different sites to reduce conflicts
Develop consistent signage and online information about site rules and access
Consider charging a fee for parking and implementing a local sticker parking system
Enhance site amenities, including benches, picnic tables, and trash pickup
Balance site reconfiguration and water access with preserving critical habitat

Key action items:
Remove boulders to create one-way circulation
Develop new signage and online information
Implement parking restrictions and fees
Enhance site amenities and trash pickup
Conduct water quality testing and evaluate tree removal and replacement
Consider horse power rating or motor size limits for boats
Investigate beach access association rights for residents around the Reservoir
