Screw that Rhode Islanders have unfettered access to the Bay at all times, except for private property. That's not private property

Its also apart of the property behind, not the state. I still think its cause of the homeless camps. I doubt anyones gonna say anything, especially if i walk out with a bag full of trash. The amount of discarded needles is disgusting

Yep, I saw a bunch of used syringes just casually discarded on the sidewalk off Wickenden. A definite biohazard to humans and animals alike.

Please watch out with the needles though. Get a sharps disposal at Walgreens

I stay away from the sharps. Thankfully they’re very bright

I believe the subtitle on the sign is correct. I checked the GIS maps put out by the City of Providence and it says its owned by the nursing home. Again, I don’t think anyone will care - i think its just to deter the homeless and would be needle users.

I know the state bought up a bunch of land along the shore to extend and connect the bike path to the Washington Bride bike path. So it’s possible the state owns this land and hasn’t been updated on that map? The state was buying just strips not whole lots. Could also be a deeded easement, which would give state some property rights but probably wouldn’t show up on the GIS map.

I’m not sure honestly. Like I said, the shore is full of junk and trash. I doubt I’ll get into any trouble. At worst a slap on the wrist or a ticket.
