The Sturgeon Bay Plan Commission met Wednesday to discuss the potential development of a public path along the waterfront on Memorial Drive in Sturgeon Bay.   The property is located between the street and the Sturgeon Bay channel which is privately owned but does fall in the public right-a-way.  Chair Dennis Statz says the consideration for zoning restrictions and pedestrian access will be moved on to the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Board and is very preliminary.

 Statz adds that the zoning and an easement that goes back to the 1930’s states that no landscaping can be planted on the greenspace on Memorial Drive with the understanding that the city maintains the lawns during the summer to keep a consistent mowing.
