Boardwalk nearly complete; city readies paving plan for 2026
Summary
City staff reported the South Side Boardwalk is substantially complete with punch-list items remaining and the splash pad winterized; the mayor and staff said positive public response suggests the boardwalk could attract development interest. Staff also said the city completed its paving program for the year and will draft a 2026 plan pending state DOT commitments.
City staff told the council the South Side Boardwalk is substantially complete, with outstanding punch-list landscaping and lighting items to finish in spring; the splash pad has been winterized and the lights have largely been corrected. Councilors and staff said the boardwalk drew favorable public reaction during the Christmas tree lighting and that a visiting developer expressed interest in the site.
Staff also reported the paving program for the year is complete and said they will put together a draft streets program for 2026 to present to the council; staff noted they will await state Department of Transportation funding commitments (typically announced in late April) but hoped to have candidate streets teed up earlier.
Why it matters: completed public amenities can drive local visitation and private interest, while early paving planning helps the city leverage state funding cycles.
