Ida Updates
11/18/09 - Clean up continues, driveways are being replaced and things are being readied for Thanksgiving holidays.
11/14/09 - Street clearing continues, Town has additional help this weekend and is doing a great job clearing streets to provide access. Bienville Blvd is clear all the way down and the Town is clearing west end side streets working from east to west and contractors are working from west to east, sand is being piled on right of ways for return to beaches. No info yet on the when new rock will be placed on side streets from Seneca Ct west, however each side street has had enough sand removed to allow emergency access. The check point at Raphael Semmes is expected to end on Monday. Contractors are being allowed access to the west end, but must have a valid re-entry pass (obtainable from Town Hall) and if they are engaged in repair, sand removal or replacement or work of any kind - THEY MUST HAVE A PERMIT FROM TOWN HALL. No current timeline to address the return of sand to beaches or re-rocking of roads, drainage ditches etc, More information should be available early next week, but so far work is moving quickly. Links of interest - For those of you who have not seen it yet, click SHORELINE for a link to the Dr Scott Douglas presentation to the Town on shoreline stabilization from October. The Town's SAND REMOVAL ordinance is also available for view.
