New waterfront amenities, marine infrastructure and park upgrades are coming to the town of Evans, New York, following the Department of State and the town’s recent adoption of the Evans Parks and Sturgeon Point Marina master plan.
The adoption of the plan, which will guide future investments across the town’s marina, parks and waterfront, followed a three-year planning process.
Sturgeon Point Marina is located on the eastern shore of Lake Erie and provides access to boating, fishing and other water activities. It has more than 200 slips for vessels up to 50 feet, four launch ramps, dry docks, a fuel dock, a pump-out station, picnic areas and trails, a restaurant and a playground.
The plan is designed to improve the town’s waterfront and recreational resources, benefiting both residents and visitors over time, and provides a road map for potential improvements to parks, waterfront areas and other public places. It includes priorities developed from public feedback that range from adding parking and boat slips to developing a swimming beach at Sturgeon Point.
Upcoming projects added to the master plan include:
- Expanding a townwide trail network throughout Evans.
- Creating a new parking area with ADA spaces and safe pedestrian crossings at Evans Town Park.
- Integrating greenwater and stormwater design into all parks.
- Installing a kayak launch at Wendt Landing.
- Extending trailheads and bikeways linking homes, schools and parks in the Lake Erie shoreline corridor.
