Resort officials to address concerns to SHA over fence

Nearly a month after the State Highway Administration held a public meeting about the Coastal Highway median project, city officials got a chance to discuss minor adjustments.

Although the project includes installing LED lights and shrubbery on the median between Route 90 and Convention Center Drive, Councilman Dennis Dare brought some of his concerns to Tuesday’s Transportation Commission.

The barrier, designed to look like a sand dune fence, will run through the 13-block stretch with the aim of deterring people from illegally crossing the highway.

His main apprehension was the opening in the fence for existing emergency crossovers.
