Building on the success of the shoreline access bill in 2023, Representative Cortvriend and Senator Gu have introduced a package of bills that will give the CRMC and municipalities more tools to preserve historic rights-of-ways so that every Rhode Islander can enjoy them.
The three bills would increase disclosure of shoreline access rights and conditions when buying an oceanfront property, allow towns to preserve recreation easements on abandoned roads, and allow the Coastal Resources Management Council to designate historical footpaths as rights-of-way.
We need strong testimony to keep momentum going on shoreline access. You can:
