Project Description Country: USA Location: Ketchikan, Alaska Total Budget: $5,000 Areas of Focus: Maternal and child health, Economic and community development Activity Type: Community Development: General Summary: Rotary Beach Access Stairs, railings, and Pathways One of our signature Rotary projects for years has been our very own Rotary Beach formerly called "Bugge's Beach". Due to erosion, the beach is not easily accessible for the elderly mothers and their small children or anyone with knee problems, etc. Our club is proposing to build a concrete stairway with steel railings for accessibility to the beach. We also plan to cut through large logs blocking the access to one of the only flat roc and sandy beaches in Ketchikan. Many of our young adults with children find the washed out path extremely hard to navigate and fall and hurt themselves. This beach is the closest one to town and has been called "A Jewel of Ketchikan". This would enhance and update the most highly used beach for parents with little children. We also plan to put in new D1 and/or pebbles to update and maintain the playground and paths going into the park. Visibility: All residents of Ketchikan and Saxman. We plan to put a metal engraved plaque up on the site. There already is a Rotary Wheel with a note that local Rotary Clubs update this Beach on occasion. If funds permit, we plan to put a planter box with tree and or flowers along with a metal sign with Rotary on it. We plan to start as soon as possible and finish by June 1, 2014.
