Pols seek federal help to repair Shore Parkway sea wall
Fixing the breach is going to be a reach.
Local elected officials are reaching out to various entities of the city, state, and federal government seeking rapid repairs to the Shore Parkway sea wall which suffered extensive damage in Hurricane Sandy.
A 250-foot-long section of the sea wall located near the 17th Avenue pedestrian bridge was breached during the super-storm and the damage is so bad, the New York City Parks Department, the agency that oversees the bike and pedestrian path next to the sea wall, declared the area off limits.
