One of poorer managed repairs Ive seen. Glad they are finally cleaning that place up, repairing and making it more user friendly but will never understand why they closed it so many months before they had a plan or were even close to starting. Was not like you were going to hurt what was already in place. confused

Wonder if they'll let you fish off the dock right now.

The plan says it's 28' wide, so that should be wide enough for two lanes.

Not to hijack this thread, but I asked Tradinghouse on Facebook if the had an ETA on when the renovations would start and I got a NO.

They did ask a couple months ago, what folks would like to see for the renovation, that they could take to the county for approval.
Restrooms
Better ramp
Dock
Lights

We're the top responses.

Checked today (Feb 27th). It looks the same as the previous photos.

... If your actually interested, I would point you in the direction of the wonderful laws/codes surrounding the building of these ramps with the grant that City of Alvarado received. SPECIFICALLY look into the number of parking spaces required if you cut the concrete to be a "two lane ramp"... then look at the amount of space the park has to work with... SOOOO.... grooves show a single lane ramp... but it is WIDE.... PLENTY WIDE for 2, BUUT officially as far as the state is converned, grooves are cut for 1... quite a bit of thought was put into this design and the problems the project created.

I know some of the slow down issues early on were contractor issues... it was a cluster for sure... Now I ASSUME that it is just weather holding them up. But I have not heard when they will get back at it

Also be glad that they are actually DOING something... Cleburne got the same grant for new ramp at Pat, it was designed... I looked at drawings... then Cleburne GAVE THE GRANT MONEY BACK AND SHELVED THE PROJECT... Your never going to have more money than when somebody GIVES it too you. No it wouldn't cover the whole thing, but COME ON. This would have been a HUGE improvement at a huge discount... but nope
