“Establishing an internment memorial at the Taylor Avenue road end has the support of city officials. But including the road itself, from Eagle Harbor Drive down to the water, remains in question.Right now, a well that supplies water to Rockaway Beach sits squarely at the end of the pavement, enclosed in a brick building surrounded by a chain-link fence.Abandoning the well and drilling a new one is expensive, and might not be practical, Mayor Dwight Sutton said. But it might be possible to drop the whole thing below surface level, or to the point that it is less visible. We’re trying to figure out what kind of engineering needs to be done.If the well cannot be made less conspicuous, Sutton said, it might be possible to incorporate it into the memorial.The pictures I have seen show some little buildings on the walkway, Sutton said. So maybe it could be made a part of what they do.Representatives of the Interfaith Council and the Japanese-American Community discussed the memorial with the city council Wednesday. An earlier proposal, which the city had already approved, was to have a monument at the road end – the public access to the water where the pavement ends.An expanded concept, unveiled Wednesday, would make Taylor Avenue north of Eagle Harbor Drive the memorial. Visitors then would take the same walk the island’s Japanese-American citizens were forced to take in March 1942, when they gathered at a ferry dock at Taylor Avenue and were taken from there to wartime internment camps.Besides the presence of the well, another issue is the possible addition of property to the west, now part of the Wyckoff Superfund site.All of the former Wyckoff land is held as part of a trust. When sold, the proceeds will reimburse the Environmental Protection Agency for its cleanup costs.We have had discussions with the trustees about selling the land in pieces, Sutton said. It might be possible to obtain that westerly, uncontaminated section early on.Council member Christine Nasser who sits on the Wyckoff site citizen advisory committee said she has not discussed the new memorial concept with the trustee. But she also liked the idea.It would add immensely to the memorial, she said. It completely makes sense.Council chair Lois Curtis also applauded the concept, but said further information is required.I saw nothing to disagree with, but I don’t know what if any competing claims there may be for Taylor Avenue, she said.Curtis and Sutton both said the next step is for the memorial proponents to provide specific details – to meet and start talking on real terms, as Sutton put it.Nasser said that while issues with the Wyckoff property need to be addressed, she is optimistic.I have a feeling it can be worked out, she said. It is too good of an opportunity to pass up.I find the idea of a walking memorial very compelling, Sutton said. It makes sense to include Taylor Avenue below Eagle Harbor Drive and down to the water, with maybe a boardwalk out into the water and an observation point. “
