I think you can look at the public docks the same way as you look at public roads. Meredith Neck Road provides access to homes on Meredith Neck. The dock at Cattle Landing provides access to to the lake and the islands. It's all about access.

If the town can use tax money to construct, pave, maintain and plow roads that provide access to private homes then the town should also provide docks for islanders.
Great anology Bear Islander. I'm sure we'll see a response that says Island residents use those roads too. Amazing thing is we paid a higher price to use them.
