@rigov Either fill those lots or open them up. Stop punishing families who just want to enjoy a day in the sun. This isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s systemic exclusion wrapped in beach towels and parking tickets. 🎟️ @RIprobz@projo
@rigov RI markets its coastline to EVERYONE. You’re happy to take non-resident money. But when it’s time to share access? Suddenly it’s “locals only.” That’s not community. That’s #hypocrisy. @RIprobz@projo
@rigov Let’s be honest: this isn’t about traffic or capacity—it’s about exclusion. And it’s shameful. Beaches are public spaces. Blocking access through #gatekeeping is not how you build #community or #equity. @RIprobz@projo
@rigov I drove 45 minutes to enjoy the beach with my family, only to spend another 45 minutes hunting for street parking because the “Resident Only” lots were HALF EMPTY. Empty! In 98-degree weather! 🧠💥 #MakeitMakeSense
@rigov We’re all paying for the upkeep of these beaches—through tourism, local business, taxes on hotels, etc.—but unless you’ve got a RI license plate, you’re basically shut out. How is that remotely justifiable? #IPayTaxesToo
Dear @RIGov, can we talk about the absolute nonsense that is the beach parking system in this state? How is it fair that massive empty lots are reserved for locals while non-residents circle for HOURS?
