I am curious about how well the walkway will or will not work.

My thoughts:
- They have spent substantial coin on it so far - therefore it would take a convincing case against for it to not happen at this point.

- I am wondering how they will deal with the rise and fall of the tides in terms of the changing grades at entrance and exit of the walkway relative to existing.

- My experience during a busy summer weekend at the old 'bottleneck' was that it became pretty crowded and slow - to the point that I would usually walk around through the parking lot to avoid the congestion, an option that will no longer be available. Also, the wharf at Murphy's isn't all that wide and has no rail. I'm wondering how they will deal with these high-traffic conditions.

- As mentioned, more severe wind/wave conditions will provide additional challenges.

Have any details been made available to the public?
