Council details Stop 43 stabilization project; funds already budgeted

Michiana Village Council · April 10, 2026

Summary

Michiana described a Stop 43 project to install a retention wall, landscaping boulders, dune vegetation and new stairs/boardwalk; environmental permitting with EGLE and the Army Corps is nearly complete and funds are allocated in current and future budgets.

Council outlined the Stop 43 beach stabilization plan and said funding for the work already exists in current and forthcoming budgets. Project elements include a retention wall to keep sand out of drainage systems, landscaping boulders to support dune stability, planting dune vegetation, and construction of new stairs and a boardwalk to restore safe beach access.

Tim McCarthy said environmental permitting with EGLE is near completion and the Army Corps of Engineers has requested involvement through the joint application process. Council expects contractors who worked on prior stops (37 and 40) to provide quotes; because funds are budgeted, the project will not draw on reserve funds, council noted.
