Letter: Scarborough Beach parking comes at a cost

I am writing in opposition to the proposed Scarborough Beach parking. It appears that very little has been mentioned about protecting the dunes and piping plovers.

Mr. Sprague states that he would like to keep the land as open space, but he needs to make “a little” income. Might he consider selling it to Scarborough Land Trust, Nature Conservancy, or Maine Audubon?

Existing beach parking, bath facilities and access could be sorely improved upon at Scarborough Beach State Park. Why not improve upon what we have rather than create unnecessary destruction of land.
