AN OCEAN DRIVE PROJECT between 29th and 62nd Streets in Avalon is anticipated next spring. The county project would bring that section of the roadway into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act with new sidewalks, and also elevate the roadway to help alleviate flooding and improve drainage. Work is anticipated to begin in March 2017, breaking in June for the summer season, and then resuming in September.
FROM 83 TO 69! The ocean surf temperature reached a record 83.3 degrees last Wednesday in Atlantic City, with Cape May seeing 81.7 degrees. By Friday the wind had shifted to a southwesterly direction, moving the warm water offshore. “Upwelling” brought cooler water to the surface, taking the surf temperature back down to a refreshing 69 degrees. The average surf temperature at this time of year is 74 degrees.
