It Looks Like a Sidewalk

September 27, 2020

Recommendation #2 in the  Lakeside Park Exploratory Committee (LPEC) is a Boardwalk.  It states:

There have been lots of questions about how this would be done.  Where would the boardwalks go and what would they cost?  What will happen to the existing rocks?  What about ice shoves?  We have never had really clear answers about the boardwalks.  In the images of the Lighthouse peninsula in the Alternative Master Plan (AMP), they look like sidewalks.  

In the FAQ on the Lakeside Forward website it says there will be a public boardwalk along the shore of Lake Winnebago for all to enjoy.  

We might have some answers in the Lakeside Park Enhancement Agreement that was presented by the Investor group at the September 23, 2020 City Council Meeting.  In Section 4 which lists the projects that are part of the agreement, item d says Walking Paths.  The “Walking Paths” project means the design, improvement, and new construction of the walking path improvements designated on the AMP.  

QUESTION for the Lakeside Park Supporters:  Where are the boardwalks?
