Board member urges better scheduling after road project limits beach access; public works cites weather delays
Summary
A board member urged the city to avoid doing a one‑mile road project during peak summer because closures limit access to several beaches; the mayor said rains and weather constraints have delayed work and crews are prioritizing safety.
Board member Anne raised concerns about a one‑mile stretch of road that provides the primary access to several beaches, saying the project has caused repeated closures during the summer and limited access for residents and visitors.
"That's a really, really busy road during the summertime, and it's been closed a lot," Anne said, urging the city to consider off‑season scheduling. Mayor Smith and staff responded that summer is often the only practical window for some pavement and drainage work, and that recent rains have slowed progress. The mayor said crews are trying to keep projects safe and that the completed work will benefit the community for a long period of time.
