The City of Kaukauna is excited to share work on the Wisconsin Avenue Seawall Project will begin this week! The project replaces a failing fishing dock below the Friends and Neighbors Park on Wisconsin Avenue with a 100’ long accessible seawall. Anticipated to be complete in the fall, the seawall project is intended to promote boating and fishing along the Fox River and to provide boaters access to downtown area businesses. Linked projects include the repair of small retaining walls, re-paving of adjacent trails and installation of native landscaping. This project was funded by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Recreational Boating Facilities Grant, a David L. and Rita E. Nelson Family Fund Grant through the Community Foundation of the Fox Valley Region, and the City of Kaukauna Parks Fund.
