A section of one of DOB-C’s favorite bike path on the way to Jacob Riis beach is still inaccessible due to Nor’easter damage from last November. Hurricane Ida demolished 150-foot section of the Shore Parkway Greenway, and as of January this year, the damage still looks about the same as it did in its immediate aftermath. You can still ride around on the grass adjacent to the highway, but it is obviously not desirable or safe.
The NYC Parks Department says its engineers are working with several other agencies including the Department of Environmental Conservation, National Parks Service, Department of Transportation and Army Corps. of Engineers to “evaluate the long term methods of repairing the affected area.” Let’s hope it gets fixed before the next DOB-C beach ride in summer ’10.
