Construct flood barrier at Constitution Beach

"At Constitution Beach, that strategy includes an elevated system of constructed dunes, berms, and integrated open space enhancements to create a more resilient recreational landscape and public amenity that also prevents floodwaters from entering the neighborhood. The elevated dune and berm system preserves the sandy beach character of the park while providing opportunities to add and improve amenities, including additional trees, seating, play areas, and shade structures. Preserving the sandy beach is also important for maintaining habitat for certain wildlife, such as Piping Plovers, which are protected under the Endangered Species Act."
