Marysville Breaks Ground on $3.82M Ellis Lake Park Renovation
Marysville held a groundbreaking ceremony Friday for a $3.82 million renovation of Ellis Lake Park, approved by the City Council. The project includes replacing and widening the lakeside path along B Street/Highway 70 with concrete sidewalks and a precast boardwalk, improving lighting, adding benches near fishing areas, and removing some trees. Funding comes from a $2.906 million Clean California Local Grant Program award through Caltrans plus approximately $918,000 in city funds, with construction contracted to TJR Resources, Inc. Mayor Chris Branscum said the city also hopes to restore fresh water flow to the lake and is pursuing a separate $700,000 grant for a pedestrian-bicycle path under railroad tracks at 14th Street. The park project is expected to be complete in roughly 12 months.
