Nearly a decade after completing its popular Solstice Steps in Lakewood Park, the city returns to its master plan directive offering multiple points of access to Lake Erie.
“One of the wonderful things in Lakewood is our beautiful Lake Erie,” Lakewood Mayor Meghan George said. “Unfortunately, we don’t have a lot of access to the lake. We do have the Solstice Steps, the walking path down at Lakewood Park, but it’s important now to provide our residents additional access.
“Water sports and recreational activities have increased over the years. We also see the county is working on more access to the lake. This is an opportune time for us to be looking at how we can enhance our access.” Assisting Lakewood with a feasibility study is SmithGroup, which is being paid $185,000 for the initial discovery phase.
The mayor noted the city recently received a $77,230 Ohio Department of Natural Resources Coastal Management Assistance Grant to help cover the study cost.information-sharing and public-input gathering sessions,“We’re at the beginning of this journey,” George said. “At the public meeting coming up, we’re going to solicit feedback on some options that we’ve worked up.
“The genesis for this was a pier but if we look back further the Lakewood Park master plan initially envisioned multiple points of access to the lake. So there may be some other options. That’s what we’re figuring out with the access feasibility study.”If you purchase a product or register for an account through one of the links on our site, we may receive compensation.
