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.

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

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.

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?
