I see (and have taken photos and sent to City Hall) tons of garbage getting onto the beach, MUCH…Read More broken glass, shards of wood, pieces of rusty metal, garbage, dog doo ( highest form of bacteria in the waters), its overall a filthy mess.
I took photos of the "entrance" from parking lot onto Laurelton, its atrocious...I hope they are going to clean these areas, even walking over the "dune" there are lots of small pieces of glass.
Don't dare walk barefoot anywhere.

I don't know about where you guys are but the beach by Tennessee Avenue is full of garbage. Asphalt,…Read More broken metal fences and just plain garbage are everywhere. Now that they have sifted through the Mt. Sandy sand can they start on the areas that are strewn with garbage?

Here's the new law signed in the Summer of 2012. This article appears in Press of Atlantic City ,…Read More ironically a couple of weeks before the chaos unfolded at our front door.

Elliot is right on with his comment that the namecalling and fault assigning is childish, inaccurate…Read More and counter productive.
That said, the issue here is not whether a mitigation project will protect in rare 14 ft storm surges(so called "perfect "or 100 year storms), but rather, whether we are ready for lesser but potentially damaging high seas driven by warmer temps and higher sea levels.
Let's reexamine our options with the information this storm has provided. Let ACOE reexamine their plan with the new knowledge of this experience. If they offer a " take it or leave it", let's ask the key question: "Why?". Might it be that the counter arguments to their plan do not hold water(pun intended)? Might it be that they are merely an intransigent bunch who are protecting their own turf? I doubt that. The ACOE has enough work without taking on LB and as professionals who are charged to provide protection or restoration in the name of the US government, I can't imagine their position is only ego driven arrogance.
Re bay side and Island Park /Oceanside or for that matter Lindenhurst issues, there is a very clear reason these are more difficult to address and this is noted in the Coastal Engineering report. Stopping storm surge through inlets into narrow shallow bays is a monster of an engineering problem. NYC is looking into an extremely expensive engineering project that would use a moveable structure to block the surge into NY Harbor, but we baysiders are not near Wall St.
I am open minded to any future decision. I want the new debate to be driven by serious credible data and an eye toward good financial sense and prudent responsible fiduciary concerns.
It is true Elliot, Mother Nature is one powerful lady. But she was more powerful in 1913 than she is in 2013 because of human capital and ingenuity.

Can you zoom in on the ASPESTOS tiles that were once used as spacers between boards and cement that…Read More are broken and falling into the sand that will eventually be crushed further by the surf rake

Kudos for your great efforts. Any thought to extending it to our garbage strewn streets ?

Any news on the replacement material for the new boardwalk?
