- 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.

REMOVAL ordinance is also available for view.
