SUBJECT:Emergency Request
Please accept this memo as a formal request to place sand under the bottom of the concrete stairs at
the end of Beechwood Road to stabilize the stairs and to address a public safety issue.The washout
under the stairs from the recent southeasterly windstorm does pose a significant public safety issue.We
currently have caution tape on the stairs,but of course this is not even a good temporary solution.I was
on the beach yesterday,and there was a significant amount of people walking on the beach.We do see
this activity all winter,especially on nice sunny winter days in the 40’s (degrees)or above.
Additionally,I feel as though if we do not address this immediately,the stairs will become structurally.
degraded,only to compound the problem.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions and how to proceed.
