SUBJECT: NORTH BEACH OCEANSIDE PARK BEACHWALK UPDATE
The purpose of this L TC is to update the Mayor and City Commission regarding
the progress of the North Beach Oceanside Park Beachwalk project, the final
segment of the City's Beachwalk system.
It gives me great pleasure to announce that this segment of the beachwalk is
substantially complete. The City, some years ago, saw an aging boardwalk in
constant need of repair and maintenance, and had the foresight and vision to see
a new oceanfront promenade, stretching the full length of our city. Today, that
vision is a reality.
This Friday, May 27, the contractor will commence with the removal of the
construction fencing, making this stunning segment available for the use and
enjoyment of our residents, ahead of the Memorial Day holiday weekend.
This segment of the Beachwalk runs along the eastern edge of North Beach
Oceanside Park from 79 th Street to 87th Street. With the completion of this portion
of the Beachwalk, there are now more than seven miles of oceanfront
promenade that connects the entire city from South Pointe through North Beach,
to the northern limits of the City.
The City's Beachwalk system is part of the larger East Coast Greenway, a
walking and biking route stretching over 3,000 miles from Maine to Key West.
This system of pedestrian and bike paths promotes alternative transportation and
connects the community to parks, cultural institutions, and business centers. The
final project includes a 25-foot-wide, on-grade paver pathway, turtle-friendly
lighting, dune improvements and salt-tolerant vegetation
The administration is planning a formal ribbon cutting event and will be
scheduling a date in the coming days.
