Jeramey Jannene –
With all this activity going forward on the RiverWalk, has there been any discussion of how rising water levels may affect the placement of these walkways? We had very high lake water levels in the last few years and could the earth warming also affect our Grate Lakes? Thanks,
What are the rules of the boardwalk? Like does a business have to keep 5′ for passage of those using the boardwalk??
@Tharms0416 – Water level details beyond my engineering knowledge guide the placement of the riverwalk. To the best of my knowledge, it is the older sections that have had issues (largely internally, not on the public riverwalk). There was a discussion of going out of the way to ensure there wasn’t an issue for the Admiral’s Wharf project.
@dmkrueger2 – Zoning rules would apply, which vary by section of the riverwalk. The easements require 24-hour public access.
