Kinnie Outlines Flood Controls for Shoreline
Selectman Kinnie proposes cooperation from Rowland road area to widen beach fronts where needed while reefs are protected by seawalls elsewhere. A gravel dike extension from Pine creek to Fairfield beach road would block floodwater and Fairfield Beach road would rise three feet to act as a barrier. Gravel dikes from the sand screening plant to the old town dump would shield Oldfield school Eastlawn and Roane street, with fixes planned for a breach near Fairfield beach west of Reef road. Long range plans include jetties at Pine Creek and Jennings beach as Army Engineers study flood control options.
