This project provides the necessary funds to repair the underwater section of the municipal boat ramp in AY McDonald Park at the east end of Hawthorne Street. In 1997, this boat ramp was reconstructed above its Mississippi River water line. As part of that project, new concrete panels were joined to the ramp's existing concrete panels below the water line. In recent years, there has been accelerated deterioration of the underwater section of the boat ramp. On several occasions, sections of steel edging, iron rebar, and broken concrete have been removed to eliminate the underwater hazards they presented to boaters. Also, whenever the Mississippi River experiences low water levels, boaters have been having problems with their boat trailers dropping off the submerged end of the boat ramp. This project will involve installing a cofferdam around the underwater portion of the ramp, replacing the deteriorated and previously submerged concrete panels, and also adding additional panels to extend the ramp further into the river. The southeast portion of the ramp is unusable due to safety concerns and has been barricaded until reconstruction is approved and completed. The project is included in the City's 2027-2032 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). As of June 24, 2026, further details have not yet been identified. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
