Those 35 fancy, flood-proof modular comfort stations that the city spent $115 million on in order to prepare beaches for the post-Sandy summer season in 2013? Well, this year, at a section of Rockaway Beach, two of them will be completely unusable: blanketed in tarps, set behind a locked fence, and guarded by 24-hour security. Port-A-Potties will have to suffice for beachgoers, but many are incensed that so much money was allotted to facilities that won't even get installed until boardwalk re-construction begins late this year.
