An update on the Pocaty River Launch, from Charlie…

Mr. Br…,
As this project is not under our responsibility, I sent your email to our Public Works Dept. for their input. Kevin Lundgren responded that, “Our records (deeds and titles) do not indicate that their exists any R/W or easements for such a boat/kayak launch. Their is very limited R/W available which does not allow for any roadside parking. Due to traffic safety requirements, the approaches will also have guardrail approaching the bridge that will be attached to the bridge railing – thus making such access difficult, not practical, and less safe. Additionally, the rip-rap, necessary to protect the bridge abutments and embankments from erosion, will sit, essentially, in the same location as the ramp. The new bridge will be slightly longer and wider than the existing bridge.”

If I can be of any further assistance, please let me know.
