Shoreline Stabilization Project – Site Walk About

Saturday, November 7, 9:00am

Meet at Spar Cove. Rain or shine.

Join Laura Glendening, PIC Sustainability Committee co-chair, and Kim Peaslee, PEAT Board/PIC Sustainability member, for stops along the shoreline to view the six proposed work areas for the Shoreline Stabilization Project.

We’ll visit the site locations – five along Seashore Ave, and one at Long Point Rd/Picnic Point. We’ll look at the plans, visualize the length and height of the revetment areas, talk about proposed access points, and discuss the modification the engineers are considering.

Two City engineers toured the six sites with PIC members this week, and we will share what was learned about the proposed revetment heights (some are 1’-2’ feet and most are about 3’), and the discussion about lowering the tallest proposed revetment (area 2, by Great Pond Road).

This is an informational tour to help interested residents understand the project before the November 10 deadline for public comments (http://tinyurl.com/PeaksShoreline), and the November 18 Peaks Island Council meeting when the engineers will present the revised plans (6:15pm, Community Center).

We hope to see you there! Spar Cove, Saturday, 9:00 am. Rain or shine.
