World's End: Look-back on Recent Changes

7/18/2019

 
By Carol Meyer

Last year The Trustees of Reservations were granted permission to make changes to the World's End parking and circulation pattern and to add a not-yet-completed Visitors Center.

A large group of World's End-area residents attended a recent joint Zoning Board of Appeals and Planning Board hearing to review the current situation -- including parking -- following the above changes as part of a required look-back.

A tiered approach to programming was also part of the approval to prevent overlapping of events in response to some residents' continuing concerns about on-street parking in the surrounding neighborhoods, especially during high attendance events.

Another public meeting will be held next fall, when more information about visitor- and associated traffic-count statistics during peak visitor times will be presented.

Some residents say despite the changes there are still times when visitors park in their neighborhoods instead of inside the park and question the number of events that have been held there since the changes.

Despite the challenges, World's End offers many recreational opportunities  -- including walking along the peninsula’s miles of trails or just relaxing and reading a book with views of spectacular vistas. Whatever you decide to do, please consider the surrounding neighborhood when finding a parking space!


Do you visit World's End? What's your favorite activity to do there?
