Point No Point Repair
Efforts to restore and improve the shoreline at Point No Point Park following the damage sustained during the 2022/2023 winter storms continue. This multi-phase project is designed to repair the beach and infrastructure while enhancing shoreline resilience for future conditions. Phase 1 – Repairs Completed Phase 1 of the project was completed in 2023 and included importing sand and rock materials to restore the north beach to pre-storm elevations. Phase 2 – Improvements Underway. The Point No Point
restoration project has progressed into its concluding phase. The November work
focused on grading the foredune, installation of pavers near the new curb wall,
installing a trail for beach access, and cleanup and removal of chipped
revetment rock. These milestones have set the stage for final cleanup,
planting, and site restoration. The next steps include installation of dune fencing and planting
various native trees, perennials, and grasses to support slope stabilization
and improving nearshore habitat. Access Although the park remains closed to vehicular traffic to
support safe and efficient construction activities, pedestrian and cyclist
access continues throughout the duration of the project. Visitors are asked to
exercise caution and adhere to all posted signs near active work zones and
staging areas. What’s Next - Installation
of dune fencing - Native
plantings and potential placement of large wood debris - Final
site restoration and cleanup The shoreline restoration is expected to be completed before
the end of the year, reinforcing the park’s long-term resilience and ecological
health. Thank you for your continued patience as we reach the final stretch of
this important project.
For your safety and that of the construction crews, please
use extra caution when traveling near the park and staging zone. While most
work will occur during regular hours, occasional evening activity may be
necessary to maintain the project schedule, which could result in increased
noise.
