According to Mayor Reed, the reopening of City Island has been delayed.
From the Mayor's Press Release:
NORTH END OF CITY ISLAND TO AGAIN BE CLOSED TO PEDESTRIANS FROM FEBRUARY 23 - 27
Harrisburg, PA – Mayor Stephen R. Reed today said additional infrastructure work associated with the major stadium renovation project on Harrisburg’s City Island will again close the north end of the Island from February 23 – 27, 2009.
Reed said the north end of City Island will be closed to both vehicular and foot traffic during that time. He said no pedestrians will be allowed to use that end of the Island for recreational use and said there will be limited vehicular access, as well. Crews will be installing an underground electrical duct bank, causing a possible safety hazard to any pedestrian in the area.
He said work on City Island also forced the north end of City Island to close from Wednesday, February 18, to Sunday, February 22, 2009, as crews have been busy cutting up various areas of the roadway. Reed said it is expected that City Island will fully reopen to both pedestrian and vehicular traffic on Friday, February 27, 2009.
Any further questions, contact the City’s Department of Parks and Recreation at (717) 255-3020.

Figured you would be a good person to ask. Any idea what the Senators are going to do with that garage looking structure that is already out in the outfield. Will they just keep it up and what all is housed in there? Thanks
From all the drawings I've seen the garage will stay. Here is artist design showing the building still there. http://www.flickr.com/photos/34759061@N08/3227226476/
I'm not sure what is housed in there. As many times as I've been around there I've never seen anything in there. I did talk with Billy (The Spot) and Mark Butler (Ollie's CEO) in there one time when they were preparing for the UCP auction.
Alright, thanks that's one of the cooler renderings I've seen. The boardwalk looks like its going to be pretty big. Can't wait!
The Annual UCP Auction was in the "garage" last season. Several groups before the Senators' game have picnics in the garage.
