Because of the steep slope it would require a retaining wall built in the lake to keep any fill in place. And it is not like it would be needed in one small area. There are numerous places where that is the only way you could do it. Even if it was a good idea, good luck getting that approved by DES.

And taking people's property? Look at the drop and retaining wall to the right of the NASWA into their parking lot. What are you going to do there?

It seems that the only people offering opinions about what a good idea this would be have no idea of the topography they are talking about. Again, if you think it makes sense, walk the length of Weirs Boulevard and look at the numerous places where it would be a challenge to create any type of sidewalk.
