The seven-mile path runs along Jamaica Bay to the Verrazano Bridge. Beginning in Queens, it winds through Plumb Beach in Sheepshead Bay, offers sterling views of the city’s wildlife reserve, and goes all the way down to the most beautiful bridge in the tristate area (yeah, I said it. Too bad, Brooklyn Bridge). The honor just goes to reinforce how important it is to get the bike path at Plumb Beach restored after suffering damage from Hurricane Ida, which shut down a quarter-mile of the route.

Nor-easters are cold core systems as opposed to warm core tropical systems. Conditions were such that a nor'easter was going to develop and the energy from Ida did help it along. Bottom line is that nor-easters are storms in thier own right.

The amount of money it would take to replenish the sand AND figure out a way to control the water level as naturally as possible would take hundreds of millions of dollars. I don't think thats going to happen till we hit another golden age in the area. Till then they are just gonna keep patching it up. There is but it’s very very expensive.
