ECCA’s Weekly Newsletter: September 16, 2023

Hello Neighbor and welcome to Edgemere Community Civic Association’s weekly email! We understand that being inundated with emails can be a drag so ECCA will send out emails once a week to lessen the amount of emails you receive from us. But if there is anything of importance, as a civic, we will keep you informed. Here you will find all the happenings in the Edgemere community and on the peninsula, job postings, resources for you and your family, news from our elected officials and much more. Happy reading!

Next ECCA Meeting

We have to postpone our September 18th meeting to October 2nd. Please be patient with us as we are in the process of finding a new home. Suggestions for upcoming meetings, please add them here

News From Our Elected Officials


In Other News….

While our fight isn’t over, you can still sign our petition for beach access during the bird nesting season, which is April-August, and has deemed to be the most busiest months for beachgoers. In our neighboring communities along the shore, they have beach access during nesting season, and by right, so can we!

The Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) contractor has begun work on the rock groins at Beach 39th and Beach 43rd. Access from the beach to the boardwalk will be closed between Beach 38th and Beach 44th. Their typical work schedule is 7am-3pm, Monday-Friday. Heavy truck traffic will be traversing the beach bringing stone and other material from Beach 19th to Beach 39th. Access from the boardwalk to the sand will be maintained between Beach 18th and Beach 36th, but pedestrians will have to cross the “haul road,” which could be deeply rutted. The contractor has been requested to grade out the ruts on Friday afternoon in order to allow easier/safer access over the weekends.

Access to the beach from the boardwalk has been reopened between Beach 44th-56th. As a pilot, NYC Parks has installed accessibility mats at Beach 44th, 49th, 52nd, and 56th to allow easier access from the boardwalk to the shoreline. Please exercise caution in this area as some of the dune faces are quite steep. Be aware of seabeach amaranth, a small annual plant that grows on the beach in this area; Biologists have marked off the plants with posts and string to keep them from being trampled or driven over.
