A longtime Chappaquiddick resident who gave a parcel of land to the town for conservation told the selectmen this week that he objects to a possible plan to build a cell tower on the property. Appearing at the selectmen's meeting Tuesday, Bill Brine said he was “highly disturbed” that the town would consider putting a tower up on the 9.4-acre parcel on Narraganssett avenue. He also said a conservation restriction on the land prohibits development.

A sharply divided Martha’s Vineyard Commission voted to approve the roundabout for the blinker intersection in Oak Bluffs last week, ending a decade-long debate over the traffic improvement project.

After a three-hour heated discussion, the roundabout was approved 7-6. Commissioner Chris Murphy, who chaired the meeting, broke the tie and cast the deciding vote.

The Vineyard’s public access television network is moving forward with ambitious plans to build a new facility despite the resignation last week of the MVTV executive director and longtime board chairman.

Julienne Turner, who has headed MVTV since July 2010, and Denys Wortman, an MVTV founder and chairman of its board since 2002, announced Oct. 4 they were stepping down. Ms. Turner, who will stay on until the end of the year, said her reasons were personal. Mr. Wortman said his decision was triggered by hers.

Better cell phone service may be in the future for Chappaquiddick if a plan for a wireless tower presented to the Edgartown selectmen this week becomes reality.

Planning board administrator Georgiana Greenough said the town had hired a consultant to identify potential town-owned land parcels for sites for a tower. A digital antenna system (DAS) is also a possibility, although more expensive.
