MORE THAN 10,000 sprigs of dune grass were planted during Avalon’s annual planting effort earlier this month. Avalon Elementary School students contributed, helping to plant 2,000 of them. Dune grass roots help to stabilize the dune system, providing protection during storm events.
BACK BAY DREDGING in Stone Harbor was completed March 31st. All waterways and private slips have been completed, and Sevenson Environmental is expected to finish demobilizing equipment by April 15th.
THUNDER IN THE SKY! For those who love military aircraft, there are two opportunities to catch dazzling aerial performances this summer. The US Navy Blue Angels will appear at the Millville Wheels & Wings Airshow Memorial Day weekend. And, for the second year in a row, the US Air Force Thunderbirds will perform at the Atlantic City Airshow August 23rd. Both jet teams offer an incredible display of power, speed, and precision flying that will impress any show attendee!

A PLAN for expanded bike routes in Avalon was presented at last weekend’s Community Connections event. The plan includes additional bike lanes on First Avenue and Avalon Avenue, as well as signage to direct bike traffic. Funding will be sought through the Cape May County Open Space program, with completion possible in the fall of 2017.
