They won after years of legal wrangling. The city announced Thursday that on March 1, it will begin removing what it estimates to be 30,000 cubic yards of sand.
"I'm happy that we're moving forward," a muted Icardo said, declining to comment further for fear the cleanup will hit yet another roadblock.
Under terms of the settlement reached in December, the city will pay the entire costs to remove the sand from Greenock Lane to San Pedro Street. The project is expected to cost nearly $1 million and must be completed by May 30, Public Works Director Rick Raives said.
After the initial cleanup, the city will continue to cover the costs of keeping the 27 lane ends accessible for beach visitors. During those twice-a-year checkups, residents can opt to clean up their properties too by splitting the costs with the city.

Soon, we shall be living in the world of Minority Report, and this "Smart Window" technology Samsung has at CES 2012 is going to help us get there. Ashley Esqueda checks out what's happening over at the Samsung booth and gives a little demo of the window.
The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) is extending the temporary waiver of its property anti-flipping rule through the end of 2012.
FHA rules typically prohibit insuring a mortgage on a home owned by the seller for less than 90 days. In 2010, however, the agency waived this regulation, and later extended the waiver through 2011.
The new extension announced late last week will permit buyers to continue to use FHA-insured financing to purchase HUD-owned and bank-owned properties, no matter how long the homeowner has held the title, through December 31, 2012.
FHA says the waiver will allow homes to resell as quickly as possible, helping to stabilize real estate prices and revitalize communities experiencing high foreclosure activity.

More taxes imposed by our government without the voters approval. This is crazy. They have approved PERMANENT INCREASED fees attached to mortgages in exchange for a 2 MONTH payroll tax cut.
The fee hike would apply to new mortgages and new refinances, and would last for the life of the loans...
But the
mortgage fee provision would have widespread long-term impact, considering nine out of 10 mortgages go through one of the three government-sponsored finance organizations affected.
The new fee increase would amount to about $15 a month more for a $200,000 mortgage, according to a senior Democratic official.
That's $180 a year, or $360 a year for a $400,000 mortgage. Homeowners would have the fee hike built into their
loan -- the mortgage provider would then send that extra revenue to the Treasury.
