OSWEGO â Mayor Billy Barlow announced plans for the shoreline protection project along Shore Road on Oswegoâs east side.
Shore Road is a residential, waterfront neighborhood susceptible to flooding, particularly since the implementation of the International Joint Commissionâs Plan2014, implemented in 2017, resulting in higher water levels along Lake Ontario.
The higher lake levels resulted in significant flooding all along the shore of Lake Ontario. The Shore Road neighborhood suffered extensive damage from flooding and erosion in two of the previous four years resulting in an emergency FEMA declaration in 2017. Following the declaration, the city of Oswego was awarded $75,000 in funding to repair the damage and prevent future damage from occurring.
