Municipal Pier emergency and coastal erosion

Cracking was found in the pier abutment near the Chit Chat Cafe on June 4, forcing an emergency closure of the pier and beaches. The Chit Chat Cafe is being demolished, and shoring up the abutment won't reopen the pier. Residents are pushing for a restoration coalition and state/federal grants — the repair bill could exceed the original $19 million estimate.
