It seems the city boat launch and docks area is very underutilized outside of the dipnetting window. Locals and visitors both love the veiws and the facilties. I think a good oportunity lies outside of the busy dipnetting window, Its a great place for activities and for a future entrance/ exit to the waterfront revitilization project. We know the DOT is in the design faze of bridge access rd, an effort should be made to increase signage; icons such as wildlife veiwing, boatlaunch, partking, photography, etc. These are frequent for other locations all around the state. DOT, Potenitally NOAA Fisheries, and or AWA? The funds needed for this would be very minimal. 9 (?
