The remaining detail work will be completed on the decking and railing in the coming weeks, but the facilities will remain open. The City, its consultants, and contractors are working through a minor redesign of 2 step-downs to the lake, which will make the system easier to install and remove on an annual basis. The step-downs will be installed later this summer. BNSF railroad has begun installing automated pedestrian safety gates at the Broadway Avenue Crossing and the Barry Avenue Crossing. City contractors will complete the sidewalk crossing work beginning the week of July 1.
