It will enable the installation of a 50-metre-long accessible ramp from the parking area to the beach as well as mobility mats at the beach to allow persons with disabilities and those with mobility issues easier access to the beach and water.<\/p>\n<p>The work will also include leveling and providing ramps as required to access the shelter building, wharf, and main dock.<\/p>\n<p>Prompted by a question from Councillor Jason FitzGerald regarding what the project now entails, McKenzie said the funding announcement had changed the scope of the project. &#8220;It was a much smaller project.&#8221; She also said the funding would now include paving and better handrails.<\/p>\n<p>Councillor Dan Armour applauded the project. &#8220;I think that&#8217;s great\u2014$60,000 I think is going to be amazing down there.
