City staff reports steady progress on Landing project, pier shortened by about 20 feet

A staff member gave a slide-photo update on the Landing, saying "For the most part, everything is moving along very smoothly." The presenter reported an approved change to reduce the pier length by about 20 feet and that the contractor is preparing for asphalt, curbs and concrete work scheduled to start mid-month.

The presentation highlighted completed milestones including the Frigate Tunnel and observation areas, noted regulatory and safety steps taken during recent events, and said the project team expects the majority of work finished by December with a public opening targeted for spring 2027. Staff also said Cedar Point retains land for any future commercial development and that infrastructure (water, sewer, gas, electric) is in place for potential future uses.
