City commissioners approved a $1.3 million construction contract to address sand accumulation.
Relief is finally coming soon to John’s Pass.
The project to dredge John’s Pass took a step forward recently when Madeira Beach city commissioners voted to approve a contract with Bayside Dredging for almost $1.3 million.
The city was awarded a state appropriation of roughly $1.5 million in 2023 to do the work.
The grant work plan for the project highlighted the urgency, stating that the buildup had “damaged infrastructure, threatened public safety, and cost the City of Madeira Beach a loss in valuable tourism dollars,” in addition to posing “significant public risks to recreational swimmers and commercial boaters.”
