Egg Harbor is connecting its public beach to the downtown area this fall. Administrator Ryan Heise says the village has put a new sidewalk out to bid.

Heise admits it is not a major initiative but it could prove to be a meaningful one. Egg Harbor is still a couple of years away from planned construction on Highway 42. Heise says the Parks and Public Works Committee has closely scrutinized projects done by neighboring communities on the road, including Sister Bay and Fish Creek.

Most work this fall is set to begin in late October.
