Additionally, throughout the survey respondents stated multiple times that the conditions at Paradise Lane were not suitable for a new access location, including the shallow water depth, the waterway traffic, and being in a residential area. To reinforce this response, Paradise Lane was ranked first to be considered for closing; however it’s important to know that the site has never been open for the public. Based on such results it is the opinion on of MPPDC staff that the majority of the responses regarding Paradise Lane were from citizens in close proximity to Paradise Land and the response would be consistent with NIMBY (“Not in my Back Yard”) or LULU (“Locally Unwanted Land Use”)responses. Another component of this project entailed the assessment of public access locations within Middlesex County selected by Middlesex County staff. For more information please see page 88.
