During public comment on the Innovation Walk presentation, Megan Strayhorn — who identified herself as a land‑use attorney representing Legacy Harbor Marina — praised the conceptual design but urged more conversations with local private property owners. She said the marina is nearing completion but has a pending expansion permit, and that certain design elements — specifically a proposed drawbridge and boardwalk alignments — appeared to present "concerns regarding that drawbridge."
Strayhorn requested that project staff and the design team engage with nearby private stakeholders to discuss operational and permitting constraints before finalizing waterfront details. Board members and project staff acknowledged the request and noted additional coordination with private owners and permitting agencies will be part of the next steps.
