Conneaut boat docks get facelift

CONNEAUT - - Work, which will rebuild a lengthy section of dilapidated wall that prompted the Conneaut Port Authority to yank dozens of boat docks for safety concerns, is under way.

The northernmost tip of Naylor Boulevard is off-limits to traffic, to accommodate heavy equipment busy creating a new wall, said Denver Spieldenner, Port Authority chairman. A crane is working on the wall, while trucks are pouring fresh concrete, he said.

The street will reopen in February, but there's still more work ahead, Spieldenner said. New docks will be installed before the boating season, good news for sailors scrambling for berths and for the Port Authority's bottom line, he said. Loss of the docks has hurt revenue, officials said.

Problems with the wall could no longer be ignored, Spieldenner told City Council at a Monday night work session. A 400-foot section has "crumbled and deteriorated," he said.

Several docks had be to lifted from the water because of the wall's condition, Spieldenner said.

"It wasn't safe to have docks there anymore," he said. "We'll have to remove the entire bulkhead."

Precast concrete slabs and prepoured concrete blocks will be used in the project, which includes floating-type docks, upgraded water and electrical hookups and a sidewalk, Spieldenner said.

Cost of the work could approach $200,000, Spieldenner said. The port panel has set aside $48,000 for the work and will seek outside financing for the balance, he said.

Council will consider legislation re-establishing a line of credit on behalf of the port authority. The city will not contribute money to the project.

Funds borrowed by the authority also will help provide matching money for grants sought for other proposed projects, Spieldenner said. The group would like to create nature trails in the southwest corner of Conneaut Harbor.
