In the summer of 2009, the city of Oshkosh in partnership with the Oshkosh Area Community Foundation, conducted one of the most comprehensive community opinion surveys in the history of the city. One priority area of the survey was on what to do with our waterfront. While much of the conversation focused on moving forward with the river walk, respondants were also gauged as to their support of a natural buffer area along the water front.
Respondants overwhelmingly supported the natural shoreland, prompting the plan to include the following recommendation:
"Maintain a minimum vegetated buffer between all water bodies and impervious surfaces outside of the Urban Waterfront Area"
This key finding was also cited in the Onterra study.
