Amended plans call for the white tube to lie next to the shore.
The tube will start at the seawall adjoining East Pass Towers Condominiums and extend 1,000 feet to the northwest. Taylor said the project was worming through the bureaucratic-permitting process. Taylor said he was working only on getting the tube itself permitted. Taylor said one problem yet to be resolved was where to get the sand to fill the four 250-foot sections of fabric tube. He said the options for the city are to dredge sand from East Pass or to remove it from the point itself.
