  1. I can't reply to your post about the Frenchman's Bay boat launch.

    From what I understand, they do plan to eventually re-open the boat launch for small craft.  Unfortunately, there are no plans for any dedicated parking for vehicles with trailers, so it will be of limited use for people with power boats.  Since contruction has already befgun on the site; I doubt that there is any chance of changing things now.

      Those spots will be gone when contruction is completed (at least according to the plans that I have seen).  There will be parallel parking along the side of the road.  Perhaps you'll get lucky and there will be a spot long enough for a vehicle with trailer.

      My brother-in-law attended some of the meetings for the project.  He did say that most people preferred to just leave the area the way it was.  Unfortunately, that's not what the politicians chose to do.

      The east side had been open for a while now. The west side was still solid a week and half ago. I haven't been back since.

      From what I understand, purchasing from small retailers like gas stations and restaurants is more risky than on-line purchases.
