The study was completed in June 2007 but none of the proposed plans were enacted due to lack of community buy-in.

After discussion and refinement of the draft designs, stakeholders reached a decision to pursue a combination of the first two project designs, with the addition of a kayak access point and subject to final approval by landowners upon permit application.
