A half-mile stretch of #RockawayBeach, one of New York’s most popular and transit-accessible stretches of shoreline, will not open for the season on Saturday. From Beach 91st Street to Beach 102nd Street, the beach will be off limits — and it’ll likely remain so for years. Senior officials in @nycmayor Bill de Blasio’s administration have known for at least a year that the sands there were swiftly washing away. “We see the erosion, we’re not blind,” a top Parks Department official said last June. The results of a $200,000 study they conducted came back in November: Despite obvious erosion, the beach — which had been replenished at the start of the mayor’s first term — and its dunes were determined to be “wider than at almost any time in the last 100 years.” So the city didn’t act. Then, days before the start of beach season, city officials dropped the news on beachgoers and business owners. How the Rockaways got to this point is a story of inaction and finger-pointing between NYC officials and the Army Corps of Engineers, which has played a large role in restoring the region’s coastline after Hurricane Sandy.
