Dune Drive’s landscaped islands are vibrant and full of life, as are the landscapes surrounding many homes on the island.
AVALON’S BEACH REPLENISHMENT concluded at the end of last week, with 600,000 cubic yards of new sand now on Avalon’s north end beaches. Demobilization of equipment on the beach will occur as the project transitions to Stone Harbor. The dredge is expected to undergo preventive maintenance work in Cape May before pumping resumes, but a large dredge pipe has already been brought ashore at the 90th Street beach. A booster pump located offshore of 31st Street will assist in moving the sand/water slurry the long distance to Stone Harbor’s beaches. A May 21st start date is anticipated for Stone Harbor’s portion of the project.
APRIL SHOWERS BROUGHT MAY FLOWERS! The old saying is true! Lots of rain in April (and early May!) has brought blooming flowers along with green shrubs, lawns, and trees across the entire island. Lush and colorful landscapes are visible almost everywhere you turn. Combined with blue skies, warm sunshine, and a gentle seabreeze, it provides a treat for the senses when walking the island!

Downloading the app and setting up your payment source will take a few moments, but you’ll only have to do it once. Set it up in advance, so you don’t have to fuss with it at the curb. And remember, you’ll never have to dig for quarters for parking again!
