Representative Candice Miller attended the groundbreaking ceremony for the Blue Water River Walk project in Port Huron, MI. The Blue Water River Walk project is a public-private partnership led by the Community Foundation of St. Clair County and will create a new family-and wildlife-friendly waterfront for the whole community to enjoy. The Blue Water River Walk project is comprised of four components: the River Walk Trail, a paved path along the shoreline that will complete the 54-mile paved Bridge to Bay Trail that runs from Algonac to Lakeport with an expected completion date of summer 2013; the historic Ferry Dock, located at the north end of the river walk being renovated into a 2,500-square-foot platform and expected to be complete by summer 2013; the Fishing Pier, located at the southern end of the river walk and constructed from historic Michigan bridges with a completion date of 2014 or 2015; and the Shoreline Restoration, which includes removing debris, making it safe for residents with an expected completion date of summer 2014.
