This project increases year-round accessibility to Scriber Lake Park. This site is underlain with 20-50' thickness of peat, requiring a pile-supported structure. The structure site needs to support boardwalk users and the weight of construction equipment.
Project: Scriber Lake Park Improvements

Community Benefit: This project will provide year-round recreation and ADA access to the City’s only lake. The lake is also a peat fen, which is a very sensitive and unique ecological habitat in the region.
Design Challenge: This site is underlain with 20-50' thickness of peat, requiring a pile-supported structure. The structure site needs to support boardwalk users and the weight of construction equipment as site soils are very weak.
Construction completion date: July 2024
Project Summary: This project will replace approximately 1,100 linear feet of mulch trail that is frequently flooded in winter and is not ADA accessible with an elevated steel boardwalk trail.
