Treyger lauds post-Sandy shoreline restoration
But councilmember says more needs to be done
The completion of a major project by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to strengthen the Coney Island shoreline against future natural disasters like Superstorm Sandy is a great step, but more work needs to be done, according to Councilmember Mark Treyger.
Treyger (D-Coney Island-Gravesend-Bensonhurst) was among several elected officials who attended a ceremony at Coney Island held by U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-New York) on Monday to mark the finish line for a $25 million federally funded resiliency project at the shoreline.
As part of the project, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers installed four T-groin/rock jetties and replenished the sand at the beach, officials said.
