Council likely to abstain on Groundworks’ East Ocean Shores Boulevard work, opts for temporary patch
Summary
Chair said the city will likely abstain from the Groundworks proposal for East Ocean Shores Boulevard and instead perform a temporary patch while testing alternative sections (Dolphin, East Chance, a JK Lewis segment) due to intermediate steps and traffic-control concerns.
The Chair said the Groundworks proposal previously approved by council will probably be set aside for the East Ocean Shores Boulevard segment, with staff “more than likely gonna abstain from that and then just patch it for now so they have a even surface.”
Staff cited concerns about intermediary steps and the substantial traffic-control requirements that full reconstruction would demand. The Chair described staff plans to test other sections first — specifically naming Dolphin and East Chance and a small section on JK Lewis — and said the temporary patch would keep the corridor passable until the city can proceed with more extensive work.
No formal motion or vote was recorded in the transcript portion provided. The Chair said the decision to abstain from that element of the proposal was driven by logistics rather than a change to the full Groundworks package.
