Recently, The Log asked readers “What is the long term solution to the Norriego Point problem?”
Of almost 700 votes cast, a whopping 73 percent of respondents said to armor the point with a seawall, while 10 percent said to let Mother Nature take its course. About 6 percent said there is no permanent fix and to dredge the pass every year. About 5 percent of respondents said the city should buy its own dredge, while only 2 percent thought planting more sea oats would do the trick.

The most unpopular option was to sell the point to a private company, which only garnered two favorable votes.
