07/25/08 - Week 18, Working North on Subline 3







Today finds us working north on Subline 3, in the Haven Road area. We're approaching 70% of the shoreline being complete and at almost 44% of the total volume of sand to be pumped, with over 1.6 million cubic yards of sand now having been placed on the beaches of the Cape!

We've put some new photos in the gallery that were provided to us by Barrier Dunes owner Steve Blevins. Once again, thanks to Steve for taking the time to do flyovers and help us record the project from this fabulous vantage point. (Photo 1 is an aerial of Rish Park)

We now have our walkways in place at the Troy Deal Beach Access. The post and rope walkovers were placed last week, as well as a larger sign to make it easier to find. We should have the remainder of the improvements there finished in the next week. (Photo 2 shows one of the new paths to the beach.)

We are now really getting into the most densely populated areas of our beach with the restoration project. We need to ask again for the assistance and cooperation of all our owners, property managers and guests to please do your part to keep the project moving smoothly and safely! As you can see in photo 3, a couple beach awnings are sitting right in the active construction zone. Please be sure to take your beach items up at night if there is any chance you'll be in the path of the construction. We don't want to see anybody's gear damaged, but we also want to avoid delays for removal of these types of items whenever possible. Thanks so much for your continued cooperation on this subject! Finally, owners, please be sure all your sand fencing has been removed. If you have any questions concerning walkovers or stairs, please feel free to email info@savethecape.com and we will try to get an answer for you about whether they need to be removed.

We hope everyone has a safe and fun-filled week at the beach!
