As some of you may know, they are re-doing the parking lot at the Wahiawa State Freshwater Fishing Park. (The improvements to the boat ramp are all finished) The circle where the 2 trees are is being removed and made into more parking spaces (they will keep the two trees. Other areas of the parking lot are also being expanded to gain more parking. Areas have to be dug out and leveled, new curbs installed... sidewalks... it's going to be a big improvement project.
Now while they are doing this work, there have been times when the access to the boat ramp is blocked and we can't get our boats in the water. It varies from day to day. I spoke with the construction guys and they are going to close everything and get to work... so the boat ramp may be closed for 2 to 3 weeks. They want to work on the parking lot closest to the boat ramp to get it back in service as soon as possible.
There was a big meeting this week with the contractors,engineers, the city, and supervisors... They hope to have a press release detailing everything soon. Rain delays have already affected work.
I ask if the ramp was accessible this week and I was told probably not.
It's a long drive to the lake just to find out we can't get the boat in the water, so I don't think I'll be driving up there till I hear it's open again.
I hate not being able to go fishing, but I am looking forward to the improvements.
word. The contractor is planning to close the boat ramp and parking lot from June 13 through July 1 with the intent to reopen on July 2.
