Messed Up Boardwalk 08

One of the better pieces of news to come out of Coney Island recently is that the city is finally going to fix the horrendously deteriorated boardwalk. The city has allocated funds for the project, and tomorrow two state assembly members will be presenting a symbolic $10 million check to add to the pool of available money. A press release announcing the photo op tomorrow notes that “The Coney Island Boardwalk is 85 years old and showing its age.” Indeed, it is. The city promises that work will start in the fall on the worst segment of all, the one that runs from W. 12 to W. 15 Street and has caused countless injuries and falls.
