Independence Point/City Parking Lot

Alternative A – Open Space
Alternative B – Open Space, Drop off Lane, Accessible and Senior Only Parking
Alternative C – No Change from Existing (except adding accessible water route)

Alternatives A and B include an ADA accessible route to and into the water, along with an accessible dock (exact location to be determined).  Benches and shade structures are also included. After evaluating the extensive motorized use in this area (cruise boats, jet skis, sea plane, 400 boat slip marina), the concept of expanding non-motorized use at this location was removed from the concept plan.

The following rendering illustrates how the waterfront promenade could be expanded to allow more seating and vendor locations, additional “beachside deck space” and an expanded pedestrian and bicycle trail.
