Neighbors Take Sides in Tisbury Special Way Hearing

The Tisbury planning board’s quest for a special designation to protect the remains of a historic pathway drew both support and opposition at a public hearing before the Martha’s Vineyard Commission Nov. 6.

At the request of a group of residents along Mud Puddle Road, a meandering, unpaved path that leads from Edgartown-Vineyard Haven Road to the Sailors Burying Ground at the end of Upland Drive, the planning board asked the commission in April to grant special way status to three segments of the route.
