The Mobi-Mats are now installed at the beach, and two beach wheelchairs are ready but not yet in public use pending liability review, release forms, and secure storage decisions.

Public Works Committee - Jun 22, 2026
A wheelchair user described dangerous gaps, steep slopes, and confusing signal placement at crossing poles around town, and asked for an extra walk signal at the Edwards Boulevard median. Staff noted some fixes (like replacing sticker signage) could be handled, while others tie into the Highway 50 project.
Common Council - Jun 8, 2026
The city will spend up to $38,000 on roll-out mats so wheelchairs, walkers and strollers can reach the water and the west end of the beach.
We'll email you when it's on an upcoming agenda and when it's voted on, at most once a day.
