From WNYC:
It's official: New York is Holland now. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority is building a wall to keep out the sea along a two-mile stretch of the A line on its way to the Rockaways. The wall is made of thick steel and is rising seven feet above the tracks on the island of Broad Channel, in the middle of Jamaica Bay. The $38 million project is the MTA's first big step since Sandy to prevent flooding from future storm surges.

The MTA supervisor mentioned that hundreds of coconuts were washed onto the Jamaica bay tracks...from the Carribean. What a jerk ! Those coconuts were illegally thrown into the bay over the years by The Guyanese people as an offering to their God. They are there every weekend worshipping by the parking lot at the south end of the Addabbo bridge throwing all kinds of fruits and vegetables ino the water...but mosly coconuts.
Memo from the Atlantic Ocean and next years storms:
Hah!
Was there an EIS filed for this and approved already?
Addabbo bridge ?
Who named that bridge, Fred Flinstone?
There goes the pristine view of the bay.
