Ellis Lake Enhancement Project

The proposed project includes recreational enhancements associated with the main lake of Ellis Lake. The existing concrete paths on the north and east sides of the main lake would be replaced with new, wider concrete paths or concrete boardwalks to create a shared bicycle/pedestrian pathway from 14th Street to 9th Street. A staircase would be installed in the northwestern corner of the lake. Also included is replacement of the existing access paths between the existing crosswalks at 10th and B Street and 12th and B Street. Play equipment and an accessible picnic table would be added to the west side of Ellis Lake just east of 11th Street. Improvements to the existing event island would include a new accessible bridge, accessible pathways, utility upgrades, and reseeding the lawn. Other features include new signage, benches, fishing pads, disposal receptacles, and public art.
