From the Chamber's newsletter:
A Diamond Key Is Oasis Appearing on the Island
Within five years the Island will be converted into a small oasis that will house 362 new homes, a Holiday Inn, a new city park with an
extended bike path, and more commercial ventures. The developer, A Diamond Key, has it parceled into five huge sections—90 houses on two parcels, 121 townhouses on one parcel, 76 patio homes on one parcel, and 74 dual homes (like duplexes) on one parcel—all two-story structures. According to project manager Jerry Tucker, everything is moving along as planned. "A Diamond Key is owned by Jerry Schmitz who lives here part time and is building a home here," said Tucker. "This is a master-planned community with mixed use development, both residential and commercial." Tucker, who has been in Lake Havasu City for three years now,
comes from Florida where he worked as a general contractor for 20 years. "It didn't take me long to get use to this weather," said Tucker. "I like Arizona. I've had my moments of doubt, but I am building a home here."
Those who have ventured on the Island have already seen the construction taking place—105 acres in the center slice are being readied for some major reformation. Tucker said there are other areas designated as a resort site (5.5 acres) and for casitas (6.6 acres). There is also 5.4 acres currently open as commercial property.
"The city park in the center is 15-acres," said Tucker. "It will have Ramadas, play areas, a large grassy section, plants, it will connect to the existing bicycle path and the park will be dedicated to the city. There will be several access points to it from the road and there will be a public parking lot."

What about another bridge?
There were talks a while ago that the city was going to build another bridge that connects to the island to relieve some congestion from the London Bridge. I haven't heard anything lately. Maybe somebody else from the board has heard an update.
A second bridge is needed bad! I heard when they build it, there would be a one-way path around the island.
There's also talk about a bridge from the end of the island to the Cali side....Indians are planning a big casino over there...

How far from the Island to the CA side?
Lets hope they put in their own launch ramp.
How far from the Island to the CA side?
Its .335 miles from the tip of site 6 directly accross. That is the shortest point, but who knows where the bridge would go.
They are talking about putting the new bridge in at the north end of the chanell and yes it will be one way on and one way off.
