MAYOR'S MESSAGE
|
It's difficult to believe how quickly this summer is passing by - but, as they say, time flies when you're having fun.
During the past few weeks, the City has hosted many events that have delighted people of all ages. For example, at Dealy Field youngsters have been improving their athletic skills and enhancing their sense of teamwork, thanks to a wide variety of sports camps and clinics; and children have enjoyed our annual Summer Playground Camp and Marine Science Camp - along with many other fun activities. Also, on August 4, the Recreation Office hosted a Philadelphia Flyers "Hooked on Hockey" Clinic for kids, which once again was led by hockey-great Bob Kelly, a member of the Flyer's 1970's Stanley Cup Championship team. <<READ MORE>>

CITY COUNCIL'S MESSAGE
|
During the August 9 City Council meeting, Council asked the Administration to review the City's proposed Promenade Lighting Program to ensure that the gazebo and pergolas at JFK Boulevard are included in that project. Council feels additional lighting in these areas will assist the Police Department as they maintain a family-friendly environment on the Promenade at night.
Council also asked the Administration to include funding for storm-water pumping stations in the upcoming draft Capital Plan to address flooding. <<READ MORE>>

PROJECT UPDATES
|
In accordance with our typical practice, now that the summer season is here, we try to limit the amount of construction taking place on public property in order to minimize the disruption to our residents and visitors, as for many, this time of the year is precious. We also are in the process of preparing and putting into place plans for the next round of capital improvements throughout the City. As these projects move forward through the design, bidding, and construction phases, we will continue to provide you with updates on their progress.

DON'T DRIVE THROUGH WATER
|
Good Reasons Not To Drive Through Water...
The Sea Isle City Police Department reminds motorists of the dangers and hazards associated with driving through flooded streets. City Officials have received numerous complaints regarding vehicles driving through flood water at a high rate of speed, which causes severe wakes that can injure nearby pedestrians, damage fencing and other property, and push water into homes and businesses. Also, drivers often become stranded because vehicles are simply not designed to drive through water. Each year, countless vehicles are damaged or completely destroyed because drivers do not realize that water is often deeper than it appears. Also, drivers mistakenly believe they "can make it through" if they simply drive fast enough. If stranded, emergency personnel may not be able to assist you at peek tides. Accordingly, please be mindful of the adverse effects of driving a vehicle through flood water and refrain from doing so.
