Sylvester Stallone 's plan to install a floating barrier in the Intracoastal Waterway near his $35 million Palm Beach estate has sparked controversy among neighbors. Sylvester Stallone has ruffled feathers in Palm Beach with a controversial proposal to install a floating barrier in the Intracoastal Waterway near his $35 million estate.
“A lot of neighbors are concerned,” Bradford Gary told the Daily News, who, with his wife Susan, lives nearby. “Usually when your neighbors are gonna do something, we’ve found in Palm Beach, usually they call.”Neighbors, including Susan and Bradford Gary, oppose the project, citing safety concerns for kayakers and sailors who use the cove as a refuge from strong currents.The Garys were stunned to receive the DEP’s notice, giving them until Christmas Day to submit formal objections.
Susan Gary recounted an incident to the outlet from when they first moved to Palm Beach. While she was kayaking and her husband was in a small Boston Whaler, she got caught in the inlet’s powerful current. Her husband, Bradford, had to throw her a tow line to pull her to safety. While the Army Corps has promised safeguards like floating curtains during construction, critics aren’t convinced the project’s environmental impact will be negligible. One public comment submitted during the Army Corps’ review questioned whether the barrier would pose a risk of entanglement for manatees.
The Post has reached out to Stallone’s reps for comment. Requests for comment sent to the engineering firm behind the project, Isiminger & Stubbs Engineering, also were not returned by press time.
