Although no meetings are scheduled this summer, the OPCL is still actively working to better the community. The Bayfront Advisory Commission’s Outreach meeting created another opportunity to list Ocean Parks’s vital needs and changes needed from City services and City budgets.
Every one of these issues is a compilation of resident input as well as challenging the ever changing budget programs that leave Ocean Park with substandard infrastructure. See the current list we presented here.
In the meantime the Ocean Park median signs are under construction and will be completed before July. These signs are a coastal-classic inspiration and were in the city approval process since last December and required a City Council decision. They will be installed on Shore Drive, one will be placed at Marlin Bay and one near Lesner Bridge.
A special committee named the North Pleasure House Creek Committee is active and has been funded to assist the residents in the Pelican Dunes area who could be adversely affected by development and filling of wetlands west of the 7/11. All property owners in this corridor are urged to donate matching funds and deal with this issue as a group ASAP.
Remember, starting tomorrow Monday June 19th, including Tuesday & Wednesday, the Lesner Bridge will be closed from midnight until 4am. You’ll have to go around if you get caught on “the other side”.
Until next time.

Lesner Bridge will be closing for a few hours overnight in June
Check out all the info at SDCC.info:
LES BRDG CLOSED 12AM-4AM
JUNE 19 THRU JUNE 24We have reached that point in the construction schedule where we need the gantry crane that is currently stored on the north side of Shore Drive to be put in place so that the superstructure of the new eastbound Lesner Bridge can be assembled.
To do this, we need to temporarily close Shore Drive to slide the gantry over the roadway and into position on the south side of Shore Drive.
This move will be conducted over three nights: June 19th, 20th, and 21st.
We will need short-term closures of Shore Drive between the hours of 12 midnight and 4 am, so as to disrupt as little traffic as possible. Note: One lane of the bridge will be kept open for use by emergency vehicles. In the event that emergency vehicles need to cross the bridge during this time, work will be temporarily halted to let the emergency vehicles cross the bridge. The detour route for all other vehicles during these dates and times is provided below.
Ocean Park is getting our signs on Shore Drive !
Thanks to City Council for approving our new signs that’ll be installed in the median!
We also thank everyone who helped make this happen like the Bayfront Advisory Committee, and with COVB Barry Frankenfield, Kay Wilson & Mark Shea.
East one located near Lesner Bridge at Dupont Circle.
