The news paper said that about 2300 sq ft. of concrete would be replaced. That looks to be a lot more than the 2300 sq ft.

I was thinking that only the area out in front of the boat launch would be replaced.

This picture shows the concrete out in front of the top of the boat ramp. Notice the concrete on the lower left in the pic., it looks to be fairly good. I don't remember what the concrete looked like in the area out by the restrooms.

.

Well of course. Somebody's buddy, brother in law, friend, gets the job to replace good concrete and get PAID really good.

Paper said the cost was $ 500,000++. I don't remember the exact number.

I never had a problem with cracks haha

I think they are also adding another lane to the boat launch... and i had heard that there were some issues of errosion under the concrete of the launch.

Our government wastes millions daily on non necessities. Bout time they wasted some on us sportsmen!

Can we get a reef made with all that good concrete they pulled up

Now that would be nice!

Seems like a huge waste of money, unless there are some foundation issues I don't know about. Cal Point is probably one the best public launches in the state. The only thing it needs is a few more boat stalls but that's being nit picky. Even during peak times the three boat launches moves pretty quick.

core samples were taken last summer the channel is washing out under the area that is being repaired

Nice that they are repairing it before it got bad

wonder how they will do that? the store is on the right side, and a retaining wall on the left, good lord I hope they don't plan on squeezing 4 lanes in to the now 3............ :(

and if they do widen it more dock space would be necessary, its minimal now!

All I want for Christmas is gas at the landing. The pipe is there but I've been told the state won't let them put in tanks and connect to it. Bring in a tanker truck and stash it in a catch basin for spills. They would make a KILLIN!!!

So is the landing actually closed to launching boats?

Completely. 100% closed.

Good idea W.

You can launch at Fred's......about a mile south of the ICWW bridge.

Didnt realize freds was a public launch
