Skillshots The construction crew will station flagmen on the Recreation Trail at each end of the construction area—roughly between Wave Street Café and the former Cinemark XD Theater (next to Cannery Row Brewing Co.). Alternate pedestrian and bicycle routes are available along Wave Street and Cannery Row; surrey bicycles will have to wait for the trail to reopen. The new Center for Ocean Education and Leadership will welcome its first students early in 2019. One building will become the new K-12 Ocean Educa- tion and Leadership Center and the other will be retained by the Aquarium for future use. The Ocean Education and Leadership Center will focus primarily on providing innovative and highly interactive education programs for youth and teachers. “If you see the crane arm moving, when not in operation, don’t worry,” say Aquarium officials. “Like a weathervane, tower cranes are engineered to shift with the wind when they are not operating. The arm is designed to move, so the crane won’t tip over—even in hurricane-force winds. If you see the arm moving when it is not in operation, it’s perfectly normal.” PSEA WALL From Page 1 He said plans call for rebuilding the wall and mimicking what was already there “It will not be a faux wall, but rather rock and mortar,” he said. He pointed out that the large engineering and construction firms who would likely be respoded are par- ticularly busy this season.
