Small-Scale Projects
Small-scale projects will address one or more components of severely deteriorated and/or outdated facilities.
These modernization improvements may include:
- Constructing wider drive lanes, and wider and longer parking stalls to accommodate larger tow vehicles and boats
- Providing longer launch ramps where water level fluctuations have become a persistent challenge
- Fixing parking lot elevations and slopes to improve drainage and add stormwater treatment
- Adding AIS cleaning areas where boaters can safely stop, drain the boat, and remove entangle aquatic vegetation
Updating paths and walkways to incorporate universal design principles - Enhancing habitat for pollinators, fish, and wildlife by planting native vegetation and creating shoreline buffers
