On May 20, 2026, at 2:30 PM, the Bourne Select Board convened a continued discussion regarding Keith Field, access pathways, and parking associated with the Cape Cod Bridges project. The meeting included representatives from MassDOT, the Recreation Committee, and town officials. The board considered a de minimis impact determination letter for a shared use path and addressed community concerns about safety, parking, and long-term impacts.
I guess to orders. And it is 2 30. All right. Where do we start? Discussion on that. I'm not sure who should go first. Oh, yes. Yes, sorry. No, this meeting is being televised being recorded by Bourne TV. If anyone in the audience is recording a video taping, they need to acknowledge his time. All items on the meeting agenda are subject to liberation of vote. Thank you for the reminder. Okay. All right. Yeah, I mean, I don't know why this is the continuance of the discussion we recently had related to Keith Field and the access and the pathway and the parking lot. So I'm not sure where we want to start. So what board would like to speak, say those comments or if the um Scott would like to can we go first? Would um be recommended like the community. Do you have any comment? Would you want to start? Otherwise, I would say we could pick up where we left off. So can't Riley. We can go around and get comments from everyone. We're here today to do that. So I don't know. I'll start with the select board one. Maybe we just wrap up as it stands now because the public, not all the public may know of um about the letter Mass Gott's letter or even the recreation committee's recommendation. So perhaps we can start there with Mass God's letter. And that's just the summit above it. You can just summarize it if you want. Well, I mean, I'd like them to summarize that a little letter. That would that would be great. The first letter on the second. Well, we just received it more recently. The more recent prior to this meeting. Yes. The the uh the letter of um withdrawing from the parking. All right, that's not the most important thing. No, that's okay. Right. I didn't consider that a letter. I just considered an information based on that. Yes. I just wanted to maybe a withdrawal letter from the 12th point. All right. Um, I think you've met our team before, James David, and candidate, uh Cape Cod Project Manager on Louisa Kywski from SEOT Mega Projects Delivery. Um, thank you for having us back. This has been a really uh productive series of conversations, and I think we're getting to where we all want to be able to help move the project forward and address uh the town's uh desires and concerns around Keith Field. So after our last meeting uh that we had with you, we reflected on the comments that we heard from you. We heard from select board members, uh from town administrator, from the police chief, and from members of the recreation committee, as well as local residents.
