From the Daily News:
The beaches in storm-battered Rockaway will be dotted with a series of new and revamped bathrooms, lifeguard facilities and concession areas this summer, city officials said Thursday.
The new landscape includes modernistic comfort stations, raised high off the sand to ward off future damage from raging storm waters.
Decades-old concession buildings that weathered Superstorm Sandy will be freshened up with shaded outdoor seating areas.
And food vendors are planning to create pop-up sites in shore-front areas, including the iconic concrete bus shelters on Shore Front Parkway, to feed hungry beachgoers until the buildings are up and running.
But three miles of boardwalk, destroyed by the storm, remain missing until longer-term plans are hashed out.
Meanwhile, boardwalk “islands” will be built around the bathrooms and concession areas.

More pie in the sky nonsense from the city and state.
I agree with Anonymous #1
I'm waiting years for a rest room to be built at Fort Totten Park !
"The new landscape includes modernistic comfort stations, raised high off the sand to ward off future damage from raging storm waters."
Ah yes, bathrooms in the sky. However the waste pipes must still connect to the sewers which means that they will be exposed to the storm surges.
Ain't going to happen. ADA compliance? or are people who can't reach these facilities expected to piss on the beach?
That picture has more white folks in it thatn have been to the rockaways since the 1940s.
