News Release
Major Shoreline Repairs Underway at Point Pleasant Park
(Tuesday, December 7/04)--
Pet owners are advised to keep their dogs on-leash while walking
along the Shore Road area of Point Pleasant Park for the next few
weeks.
Construction is underway on 500 feet of shoreline restoration along
the Arm Road, from the rest room area to the Summer House intersection.
This area will be closed off to the public for four weeks.
The work is required due largely to damage caused by Hurricane Juan
last year.
Heavy trucks will be hauling large rocks from the Black Rock Beach
area, along Shore Road and around the shoreline of the park, to
the site of the former Purcell's Landing on the Arm Road.
The public is permitted to walk along Shore Road, but should exercise
extreme caution due to the presence of large machinery. This is
of particular concern if dogs are permitted off-leash.
Hauling of the rocks should be completed by December 22, depending
on weather conditions. There will be security onsite and proper
signage to warn of truck traffic and construction.
