2.1 SHORELINE DESCRIPTIONS
The analysis of the existing conditions start from the west at the
Wisconsin Street Bridge and ends to the east at Lake Winnebago. There
are 9 redevelopments zones considered at the time of these Design
Guidelines. The redevelopment zones as labeled are: Marion Road, City
Center Area, Riverside Park, William A. Steiger Park, South Shore West,
Jeld-Wen, South Shore Central, South Shore East, and Pioneer Resort.

2.2 RIVER CONDITIONS
• Seasonal changes in river elevation range from 1.68’ to 3.0’
(based on Menasha Dam gage).
• Storm driven waves need to be included in design. Generally
waves are reduced as distance from Lake Winnebago increases
(Figure 2.2-1).
• River ice fl oating downstream needs to be included in design if
docks remain in water over winter.
• River fl ow, generally less than 2 knots but continual source
of wave action, must be included in anchorage design (Figure
2.2-2).
