Didn't Town of Babylon make a Beach "Residents Only" recently?

Residents Only goes both ways.

Yes, Venetian Shores in Lindenhurst

Signs say "By Permit Only", or "For Residents Only". I already paid for it.............Shall I go on?

And I understand that, but breaches happen naturally, and they close naturally.

I'm in 100% in agreement with you on this. New Yorkers pay enough taxes, there should be reciprocity.

Maybe do it a little more like Nassau does with the parks. Free for residents and a nominal fee for non. However, I'm not much of a fan of that either. I pay a lot of taxes in Nassau even though I'm not technically a "resident."

It's really unbelievable that this happens anyway....

The girls were in Belmar as part of a youth group trip organized by Young Muslims of Jersey City which arrived to the beach at 5:30 p.m., shortly after lifeguards had left for the day.

N.J. man rescues 12-year-old girl caught in rip current at Jersey shore, but older sister couldn’t be saved

“She just keeps telling me, ‘My sister, my sister, my sister’s still in the water,’” he recalled.

If tides reach a certain height regardless, how does it get higher? Granted, the water will rise quicker and then retreat sooner. The WH breach was the best thing that could have happened to the bay. And those were my 4 trips a week on boats and surf. Folks I fished with noticed a slightly higher and lower for a bit and then it settled back to "normal". But as we see during storms, one creek gets flooded and others do not. Too many factor to generalize. Absolute shame it was closed.

Because the inlets act as a restriction to the water coming in and going out they moderate the total tide swing. After the breach I saw significantly higher highs and lower low tides. It has gradually returned to normal, but it could be pretty problematic when it was going on.

And sorry, infrastructure is just part of the cost of doing business. Just because you don't personally benefit from it doesn't justify letting it all go to hell. I didn't bit¢# about them rebuilding and reinforcing the bridges upstate after Irene obliterated them. Frankly we should gate the inlets to protect the estuary and the coast as well. That would be a way better use of our tax dollars than most of the $#it this state spends money on.

Eh, I heard some of the same but never the word "significant".

A breach cleaning a bay provides cleaner water and bay for the public as it is a public resource. The public benefits.


Are those bridges upstate for public or private use? If public use, no bitching required.

When public switches to "private" use, use your own dollars, not mine. If a sign goes up "restricted access" or any of the other garbage, then I will say it again - STOP STEALING MY MONEY.
