Estimated cost about 500000, with shoreline traffic from South Pine Creek road to Riverside drive. Six projects include raising Riverside drive, building gravel dikes, converting Fairfield Beach road to a dual lane dike highway, closing Pine Creek to navigation, a steel piling bulkhead with gravel dike, and creating a new public bathing beach. The plan focuses on backshore flooding, not shorefront protection, and awaits federal review. no commitment from the Army.
