To All Strathmere and Whale Beach Homeowners and
Visitors,
This Monday we celebrate the birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr.
Since it is a Township Holiday, there will be no trash or
recycling
collected.
Reminder –
please don’t put your Christmas tree on the dunes or beach. Place them curbside
and Public Works will collect them all during the month of January.
Dumping vegetative waste on
the dunes has a detrimental effect to the natural dune system. In a sandy dune
system, decomposing vegetative material prevents beach grass and other dune
vegetation from growing properly. It is also prohibited under Township
Ordinance and is considered littering (Sec 24-4.1b) and is punishable for a fine
of $500-$1000.
*********************************************************************************
The beach replenishment project will begin in April at the
Point!
On Jan. 6, officials from the Army Corps, the DEP, the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service and Upper Township met at Corson’s Inlet and agreed to
permit construction there this spring.
Read about it in the Gazette here.
**************************************************************************
The Ocean Drive Bridge over Townsend’s Inlet has closed and will
remain closed until April
30th, 2015.
Note also that Sea Isle Boulevard has a reduced speed limit of 40
mph (and “cattle chutes”) because of the project to raise the roadway by some
four feet.
This project is expected to take up to six years, because of the
need to let the fill settle into the marshes.
On the other hand, the new southbound Garden State Parkway bridge
over Great Egg Harbor is expected to complete by the middle of next year.
That Gazette story is here.

Thanks very
much for your continuing support of the Strathmere Improvement
Association!
