(Arnolds Park)– A proposal to replace culverts at the Lower Gar outlet with a bridge may be dead in the water for now.
The Arnolds Park City Council last night voted unanimously NOT to fund the proposed project. Council members questioned the rationale of the bridge when it comes to controlling lake levels. They also simply don’t feel the city of Arnolds Park should be involved in such a project.
The proposal has a price tag of more than 300-thousand dollars. The cities, county and state are being asked to each pick up a third of that.
The Wahpeton and Okoboji city councils earlier this week voted to contribute to the proposed project.
