PROGRAM
Steve Wilke's guest is Brandon Herbert - city engineer who has been working on the technical design of sandy beach boat launch. Their goal is to maintain all current activities at sandy beach but also make it as safe and environmentally friendly as possible.
- Better drainoff from parking lot
- Less cross traffic between beach goers and the trucks/trailers.
- Includes tornado shelter for the trailer park
- Substantial changes were made after public input
- Phase 1 involves moving the boat launch to the west side of the beach.
- The boat launch parking lot was changed after public feedback to use less picnic space and to not add traffic to home owners adjacent to the lot
- This is just a brief summary, please contact the city for full information regarding the boat launch reconstruction.
