Project components will include:

  • Reconfiguration of the wayside to increase available parking and improve circulation
  • Construction of a restroom/showers
  • Extension of NW Gilbert Way to create secondary access to the area
  • Sidewalk and trail improvements from the wayside to the beach to improve safety and pedestrian mobility

Please join us to learn about, or share your views on this project.  Public feedback will be provided to the design consultant (OTAK) to assist them in preparing preliminary design options that will be presented at a second public meeting that is planned for mid-December.
