New York City has started a $3 million shoreline reinforcement project in Annadale to protect part of Staten Island’s East Shore. The work targets the end of Lipsett Avenue, where Hurricane Sandy and years of coastal erosion caused significant damage. The project will add a steel bulkhead for storm protection, along with new pavement and a guardrail at the end of the street. Construction began November 2 and is expected to be completed by May 2027, according to the city’s Economic Development Corporation.
