Executive Summary (General Business): In early July 2023, a 200' section of the Riverwalk Boardwalk South received major fire damage created by an undetermined source causing the Boardwalk to be closed to the public due to its compromised structure. Staff has been working with our insurance provider and has developed the scope of work and determined an action plan to correct the damaged areas and restore the Boardwalk back to a safe, contiguous pathway. Once repaired, the Boardwalk will be fully accessible extending from Bridge Plaza to Pioneer Park.
