Knights of Columbus
As you know a devastating tornado has ripped through the state of Oklahoma and has left a path of death and destruction to our fellow Americans around the suburbs of Oklahoma City.

Many of us know first hand what it is like to suffer after such a natural disaster and understand that the National Guard, FEMA, Red Cross and other agencies meant to help unfortunately take their time in providing assistance.

Many of us know that local volunteer groups,churches, and other wonderful organizations can at times provide faster and more assistance to people when it is needed the most.

We just got off the phone with Grand Knight Charles Blackburn from Council #9901 St. Andrew Parish Moore, Oklahama. I mentioned to him that our thought and prayers are with the people of Oklahoma and we will do what ever we can to assist them in providing aid to the people affected by the tornado.

As a council we would like to take a collection and make a donation to Council #9901 to assist the people of Oklahoma.

All donations can be made using our Councils
"Donate Now" link on the home page of our website.

http://www.knightsofrockaway.com/

Please make whatever donation you can to assist those in need. No matter the amount you donate every little bit will help assist the people of Oklahoma

Breezy Point Bill Passes Assembly - Goldfedder

This week in Albany we took a giant step forward for Breezy Point residents and families trying to rebuild. Together with the Co-op board and staff, I drafted a bill (A. 4835) that would eliminate lengthy BSA approval for Breezy Point reconstruction. I am proud to announce that the bill unanimously passed the Assembly and is now headed to the Senate for a vote before it can go to the Governor for final approval.

Shoreline Protection Measures

 In order to better protect the Rockaway community and shoreline from flooding and storm surge, the Parks Department will soon be installing areas of shoreline protective measures next to the existing boardwalk piers. The first phase of this work will be the placement of TrapBags and Hesco Barriers from Beach 108th Street to Beach 126th Street,
an area where there has been significant beach loss. We expect to start installing these TrapBags and Hesco Barriers later this month.

TrapBags are large, sand-filled geotextile bags that resist flood and storm surge. Hesco Barriers function similarly, but are encased in a metal frame. These protective measures are being put in place while comprehensive, long-term shoreline protection and coastal flood management plans are developed by the US Army Corps of Engineers.

We are also planning for a second phase of work with the installation
of the following protective measures:

  • Beach 149th to Beach 126th Street - TrapBag Installation
  • Beach 108th to Beach 73rd Street - TrapBag Installation
  • Beach 73rd to Beach 26th Street - Dune Installation

Baffle Walls Update

Pile driving for the replacement baffle walls will start this Monday, May 6, and run through late June. Work will begin at Beach 149th Street and move east to Beach 126th Street. Piles will only be driven on weekdays, from 7:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. In total, 865 piles will be driven into the ground. Installation of the baffle walls – 1,600 concrete segments that will be attached to the piles – is also expected to start in early May, shortly after these first piles are driven.

Improving the neighborhoods of Rockaway and Broad Channel after the devastation of Hurricane Sandy includes the removal of dead shrubs and trees and subsequent re-landscaping. This weekend, the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation will assist in this effort with a debris collection and compost distribution initiative.

We are conducting a wood debris collection effort, during which trees, shrubs and branches could be brought to two locations for chipping. At these sites, compost (which provides beneficial organic matter when incorporated into soil) can be obtained at no cost. Please bring bags and shovels for the compost.

The plant drop off and compost pick up locations are:

Beach Replenishment

We have been informed of the following information:

First phase is on target for sand placement early June from the first contract using 1M cubic yards of sand from the East Rockaway Inlet, starting from vicinity of beach 89th to 149th. The first contract is an "emergency" action to provide storm protection until the full project is complete, placing sand in the areas where the most sand was lost. It should take about 2 months. There will need to be rolling beach closures of about 1000' every week as the sand is placed, we will coordinate closely with Parks. On target for the second and bigger sand contract for 2.5M cubic yards of sand from the offshore borrow area starting in August (possibly sooner), it will be placed everywhere from Beach 19th to Beach 149th, and will take about 6-9 months to complete.

We will keep you updated as information changes

Rockaway Construction Update

The Parks Department’s contractors will be replacing the damaged baffle walls that ran from 126th to 149th Streets. The replacement walls will rise an average of four feet above the level of the asphalt at the adjacent street ends and extend an average of four feet into the ground. The exact height and placement of the walls will be determined using the Army Corps of Engineers' baseline beach surveys. The Army Corps is using these surveys to guide this year’s project so the beach nourishment will not interfere with the effectiveness of the new baffle walls.
