Caller asks Muskegon for clarity on accessibility ramp plan at Cruisy Park and Pure Market boardwalk
Summary
A resident called to ask whether the city has a concrete plan and budget for reinstalling a ramp at Cruisy Park (replacing stairs) and for making the Pure Market boardwalk ADA-compliant; the mayor replied staff are exploring options but did not confirm a firm plan or timeline.
A Muskegon resident called into Tuesday’s meeting to ask whether the city has a specific plan and budget to restore accessible ramp access at Cruisy Park and to make the Pure Market boardwalk ADA-compliant.
Elena Canter, who identified herself as a NIMS neighborhood resident, said she had first asked about the park ramp in May 2024 and that city communications since then had been vague. She read the mayor’s response, which said the parks and recreation director “confirmed that the city is still interested in and working towards ramp access at Cruisy Park,” that the ramp “may not be installed this year” and that staff were “looking into solutions/improvement options.” Canter told commissioners she wanted a clear plan: either a specific, budgeted project or an admission that there is no plan.
The mayor acknowledged the call and indicated staff would regroup on the topic; no firm timeline or budget was given during the work session.
