The selected concept uses a simpler dune and boardwalk design rather than the Beach Overlook alternative. The design team will evaluate replacing north-side stairs with an accessible ramp, keeping the existing restroom structure in place, integrating kayak storage, and grading above the mean high-water line. The boardwalk drop-off is recommended to be 18 inches, below the 30-inch maximum discussed at the meeting.
