Summary
Big Rock Foundation donated $100,000 toward a proposed pier; Stroud Engineering was engaged to design a 300-foot pier with two 20x20 landings, the original 200-foot plan is still an option and borings are scheduled for early July with an original project estimate of $205,275 (5% contingency).
Council reviewed design and funding updates for a proposed fishing pier at the bridge abutment area.
The Big Rock Foundation gave $100,000 toward a planned 200-foot pier, but the Town contracted Stroud Engineering to design a 300-foot pier with two 20x20 landings that could offer better options for anglers and circulation. The original estimated project cost is $205,275, including a 5% contingency. NV5 (Geodynamics) completed hydrographic and topographic surveys and borings are scheduled for early July; Council will review bids and decide whether to proceed with the 200-foot or 300-foot option based on pricing and feasibility. Members flagged parking impacts along the Causeway and the need to add restroom facilities and shade structures; staff noted adjacent town-owned lots have septic capacity that may support amenities.
