From Parks & Rec:
We are working to finalize the layout/design soon for a new City Dog Park at Bayville Farms Park, and tentatively plan to have it open in Spring 2014. It is planned to be located in the northern part of the park, near the ball fields and new playground. This will be our third City Dog Park, and obviously will support the northern part of our City. We are also planning to have separate areas for large and small dogs, which will be our first to support this separated use.
Boat being moved for maintenance came off trailer near Lynnhaven Boat Ramp.
Traffic will be temporarily affected on a portion of Pleasure House Road between Northampton Boulevard and Shore Drive while a water line is replaced.
During the water line replacement, Pleasure House Road will be closed to through traffic between Northampton Boulevard and Shore Drive. Local traffic will be maintained along Pleasure House Road up to the point of work. Through traffic will be rerouted via Northampton Boulevard and Shore Drive. Advanced warning signs will be installed advising motorist of the alternate routes. Local businesses and the church along Pleasure House Road have been notified of the traffic disruptions.
Weather permitting, the temporary road closure is scheduled to begin at 7 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 10, 2013, and reopen at approximately 7 p.m. on the same day.

According to an email City staff sent to Mrs. Dorinda Ennis of 3356 on the Bay, the Lynnhaven Inlet dredging, which was scheduled to take place last year but was delayed because of funding problems, will start within the next 30 days. Please see the City staff email below
According to David Jarman….
Here is the feedback from our Coastal Group that handles the dredging work:
- The Corps inlet contract has been awarded. Notice to proceed will be issued 9/10/2013 and work will begin within 30 days. The dredged sand will be placed on the Ocean Park Beach. Project completion is anticipated by the end of February. If necessary, truck hauling from the boat ramp stockpile to the Ocean Park Beach will be available once the Corps dredging project is complete. This work would begin in March and last for a few weeks, again as needed.
- Crab Creek bids were opened two weeks ago, work will begin in November, with completion by the end of March.
