The grant would cover about $1.25 million as long as the Village Board committed to funding the rest, which is about $417,000.According to an executive summary by the village, the revetment project would be located on the Lake Michigan bluff east of Sheridan Road, between Pratt Avenue and Enos Avenue in Lake Park. The original revetment along the area was built in the 1980s.The area is continuously monitored for erosion. Tony Beyer, director of public works and village engineer at Mount Pleasant, said he estimates the area has eroded about 50 feet.There is also a construction access trail from the park over to the lake that has started to erode and is “pretty well deteriorated,” Beyer said.After submitting the application later this week, Beyer said he hopes to hear back from FEMA by the end of 2021.“We would hope to start as soon as 2022 with design and construction,” Beyer said.The new revetment will “protect 700 feet of public park property and more importantly, will protect Sheridan road for the Lake Park neighborhood,” Beyer said.The Village Engineering Department has been working with the Wisconsin State Hazard Mitigation Office since last September to propose the project.Subscribe to our Daily Headlines newsletter.{{title}}{{summary}}You don't have any notifications.Get up-to-the-minute news sent straight to your device.Topics
