City contractors have been working diligently to rebuild the winter berm at City Beach after last week’s storms and high tides took a toll on the protective structure. Heavy surf caused significant erosion to the sand berm, and the bulldozer crew has been restoring the sand barrier when conditions allow. Tides will be less extreme during the storm system hitting today and tomorrow, which should reduce the impact on the berm. Nonetheless, residents in the beach neighborhood, as well as anyone accessing the coastline, should practice caution and remain vigilant during the heavy storms on Jan. 9 and 10.
