Where is the rebar? What no footing?

Wow, no kidding. Looks like they poured it straight over the sand.

Whoever signed off on that is probably looking for a new job today.

They have been coming up with wrong solutions for the end of the street for as long as i have been kayaking. I think it is a job requirement.

Just saw it on the news, the sink hole also ruptured gas lines running under the street there. The whole thing is tore up and dug out now...

Based on the way the cement sits it shows that regardless of whether or not rebar was installed the underlayment or soil would have still been washed out. Would a installing a footing where the cement meets the beach have work? Possibly.

However, at the end of the day Mother Nature will win.

I don't doubt that! Everytime I meet with a City that want's to do some upgrades, after they see the quotes the projects get put on hold! Everyone want's upgrades, but nobody wants to spend the money.
