Thanks to Public Works for installing a pneumatic plug device in Crab Creek out fall line to help prevent catastrophic flooding.
Public Works has installed a device similar to this in the Crab Creek out fall storm drain system. The device should help prevent catastrophic tidal flooding from storms like Nor ‘Ida in 2009, over ~$150,000 worth of damage, and Irene in 2011. The pneumatic plug device is a temporary solution. The permanent solution is the plan to move the Crab Creek out fall line to the pump station late in 2012.
You’ve seen the contractor Tri-State cleaning storm drains in Ocean Park around the Ocean Park Baptist Church area.
I was just assured by the contract supervisor for the City of VB that the contract cleaning will be completed, then service requests by home owners will be completed in the next couple weeks. That includes lines on the pump station, and also the Crab Creek out fall line.
They are not only cleaning, but also using the fancy movie camera in the storm drain looking for damage or issues thing too.
“Troutman said that just a week and a half ago, an officer went door-to-door warning residents about recent car break-ins and thefts.”
The Cape Story by the Sea Neighborhood Watch Group sent out an e-mail to all of its residents alerting them about the burglary. The homeowner believes it happened between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.
Stolen car from Ocean Park recovered. Thief confesses crime.
He was caught in Ocean View:
[T]hey have arrested the guy who stole my car out of the driveway in early January. He has been connected to several thefts, was out of jail on probation, and is currently incarcerated without a chance of bail. He has confessed to the thefts[.]
Pedestrian signs installed at La Casa Rana, Salty C’s, Croakers, Cheap Chic Resale Boutique “block” on Shore Drive. Thanks Public Works!

Update on barge in Long Creek
Email from VMRC rep:
Mr. Cunningham,
I recently talked with the contractor. He is currently waiting for the excavator to be delivered back to Marina Shores so it can be placed back on the barge. He has two pier projects (recently authorized by VMRC) nearby on Long Creek, and the barge will be moved over to those properties by the end of January.

My son’s house was just broken into in the last several hours. The police are there now. They busted in the back side door and stole most of the electronics, not sure what else yet. Will update you if warranted. Broad day light….this is scary.
