Beach Stair Restoration Update: Sand Returns and Repairs Planned

This article focuses on the recent developments concerning the beach staircases in the city following the significant return of sand, which has improved beach conditions. The restoration efforts aim to address the closure of three staircases that were previously deemed unsafe. For the 9th Avenue stairs, City crews will be pushing sand over exposed boulders next week to ensure safety for beachgoers. The returning sand has also stabilized the damaged wooden structures at the 10th and 12th Avenue stairs, allowing for potential repairs. The City plans to work with a structural engineer to assess the safety and feasibility of short-term repairs to the stairs.

If the engineer clears the repairs, work will begin immediately to reopen them for public access. This initiative reflects the City’s commitment to maintaining beach accessibility and safety for residents and visitors. The article serves as an informative update on the city’s ongoing efforts to restore vital beach access points.
