Lake Tye is a pristine water enjoyed by the public, but with restrictions not exercised by the special interests.
Huge, high-powered speedboats towing skiers. Three-foot wake eroding the western shoreline. In time, the city of Monroe will need to replace and move our asphalt hiking trail further west.
Currently, one area is doomed to lose a comforting rest bench. Three more feet of shoreline and the bench will learn how to sink or swim.
I ask the city council to inspect the west shoreline of Lake Tye, and to concur that either stone be placed to provide a bulwark or discontinue the use of speedboats. The special events group prohibits public use of beach access to only those with electric boat motors. The park belongs to the people; does anyone read the last line of the Gettysburg Address?
