The public information meeting focused on the Beach Drive Coastal Resiliency Project. Key updates detailed the project's evolution since Fall 2021, including clarifications from the WDNR regarding acceptable revetment slopes (3:1 allowed). The presentation included existing versus proposed cross-sections and plan views for the North and South Sites, detailing emergency block walls and splash aprons.
