NPS SEEKS COMMENTS ON PROJECT TO RESTORE SEAWALLS AT PERRY'S VICTORY INTERNATIONAL PEACE MEMORIAL

The National Park Service is preparing an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Perry's Victory and International Peace Memorial for a project to repair and replace the north and south side concrete seawalls. Years of wave action, ice loading and geological processes have deteriorated and undermined the two seawalls resulting in the creation of sink holes and other unsafe conditions. Both seawalls are necessary to protect the cultural resources of the park due to the proximity of Lake Erie and the relatively low elevation of the park. Specifically, the project design includes the following:

The National Park Service encourages public participation throughout the planning process. There will be two opportunities to comment formally on the project. Once during the Public Scoping and again when the Environmental Assessment is released for Public Review. The National Park Service is currently in the scoping phase of the proposed project and invites the public to submit written suggestions, comments, and concerns regarding the proposed design. The National Park Service will hold a public open house to provide the opportunity for members of the public to learn more about the project. The open house will be held as follows:
