The bike path on Eel Point is covered with grass on both sides a mile high. It never get mowed an is a problem for bikers besides it looks like the town just does not care.

Thank you we will contact the owner about cutting it back and if after 2 weeks they do not, we will cut it back.

Thank you very much for marking this comment as "acknowledged" and not "closing" the issue before it has been fixed. It would be helpful if the Town created and funded a position of Encroachment Officer. This could be a DPW foreman who "notice" the encroachments, work with the Town to provide proper notices, and would also oversee the work.

A DPW foreman exists, he is paid a salary, and drives around the island daily. It's the Town administration, specifically Libby, and the BoS who have ignored these issues. There is a town bylaw that addresses specific line-of-site/intersection issues. Why can't the NPD issue citations and then let the property owner deal with the bureaucray. At the very least (Libby), tax bills should include a general notice re encrouchments and the properity owners responsibilities to prevent or fix such problems. Then ignorance can't be claimed when a violation is noted, issued, and prompt remedy is demanded before a hefty fine is levied.
