For Avalon property owners with concerns about the restoration project at Armacost Park (71st to 74th Street between Dune and Ocean Drives), I suggest a walk around the perimeter, and along the designated paths at the Stone Harbor Bird Sanctuary (111th to 116th Street between Second and Third Avenues).
The Stone Harbor Bird Sanctuary remains an environmentally sound, and historic site. Â I believe the Borough of Avalon has a similar vision for Armacost Park.
Tomorrow, Sunday March 29th, is the 17th annual Ocean Drive Marathon.

Defined as lights on inside Hoy’s 5 & 10 and the Avalon SuperMarket as they prep for opening day.
Waiting for the return of the flags over Hoy’s  (a nice view from my office…and handy as a weather station!)
The northern end of our island has taken the brunt of several winter storms.
The Borough of Avalon is working to secure a contract for a beach replenishment project. Â The goal is for all beaches to be open and safe for public use.
Erosion of  sand has created a steep drop off on several north end paths.  Until repairs are made, beach access is closed between 10th and 17th Streets; and  23rd to 25th Streets.
That said, I am still walking the beach in that area (obviously easier at low tide). Â Â And I will provide updates once a beach fill project is scheduled.
Warm and Windy!
Busy Easter weekend in Avalon and Stone Harbor. Â REALLY nice when out of the wind and facing the sun!
