THE TOWNSEND’S INLET BRIDGE will be receiving new railings, to be installed by Thomas Barry Marine Construction. The new railings will be galvanized and painted to protect them from corrosion in the marine environment. The bridge, which links Avalon and Sea Isle City, has undergone extensive maintenance & repair work recently after being closed last winter when structural problems were found during an inspection. No word yet on when the bridge railings will be replaced.
STONE HARBOR FIREFIGHTERS responded to a two alarm fire on 87th Street Sunday. A single family home in the 200-block was badly damaged before the blaze could be extinguished, but no one was injured. Avalon and Cape May Court House firefighters responded as well.

PIPING PLOVERS may have been harmed in Florida and the Caribbean by Hurricane Irma, according to a recent Atlantic City Press article. The limited population of small beach nesting birds had climbed to 115 pairs counted in New Jersey in 2016, but dropped to 105 pairs this year, including just three pairs in Stone Harbor and one in Avalon. The birds winter in Florida and the Caribbean where storm-damaged beaches could affect their population further.
