Tina,
Always interested in what the gov't of Va. Beach is up to. This Laskin project has been going on for years, instead of trying to fix the oceanfront, they should get rid of the feeder roads first. Most ppl do not know how to drive on them, how to merge into them, or trying to get out from them.
I tried the link you posted vbgov.com/laskin and am getting an error msg. from the cities website. You might want to check that....
