Good morning Jill
Thank you for calling me Friday afternoon regarding our concerns about the busy use of the boardwalk and
people coming so close to our patio that we are not able to use it since they are only a couple feet away from us.
The adults and children have been using it as a gathering place, often many together at a time chatting and
having their children playing right in front of homes continued this weekend.
I took a few pics from upstairs as it was uncomfortable taking the photos downstairs as the adults and children
were so close to us and I didn’t want to cause hard feelings with them seeing me photo them. This is just a small
sampling and it has been much worse than these photos show. It has not gotten better, it has become a new
playground in SB. They seem to consider it a play and game area for their children since the beach is closed.

Parents, along with their elementary school aged children, are hanging out on the boardwalk, often drinking,
completely ignoring the 6 foot distancing, and the children have been playing football, riding scooters &
bicycles, along with running in between the homes here.
Please consider closing our boardwalk during this virus problem so we can use our front patio and also open our
front windows. I understand other beaches have recently done so. Thank you very much, Scherri Pearson 661-
645-2664
Thank you very
much.
