The Ocean Shores High Dunes Trail
In addition to events and festivals in Ocean Shores there are a number of important undertakings happening. A preliminary alignment map for the Ocean Shores High Dunes trail is being prepared by the Ocean Shores Public Works Department. The High Dunes Trail will be a shared use pathway from the Damon Beach approach to the Chance a la Mer comfort station. The trail will be 10-feet wide paved path. Wetlands will be crossed at three separate locations using elevated boardwalks on diamond piles. The trail will allow nature lovers and exercise enthusiasts to enjoy the beauty of the dunes. The goal is to go out to bid on the trail itself in June.
Crosswalks on Point Brown
At the most recent City Council meeting, a request to authorize the Mayor to enter the city into a Professional Services Agreement in the amount of $25,567.00 for the design of the Point Brown Ave Pedestrian Crossing Project was unanimously approved.
