Project Benefits
This beachside community amenity is part of the Greater Atlantic Greenway Network (AGN), which aims to support the use of alternative modes of transportation along the eastern seaboard. The project will remove the existing raised wooden boardwalk and replace it with an approximately 15-foot wide, on-grade, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)-accessible paver pathway that supports the use of bicycles, pedestrians and other non-motorized means of transportation.

The preexisting wooden boardwalk has been completely demolished and work is taking place along the entire project limit.
