They can say they did, but no one really thought this ALL the way through. Aside of running pedal boats in the middle of the busiest place on the lake... And losing good dock space for boats / waverunners... And the city leasing public property to a private entity...
I can't imagine going out in a giant duck, or unicorn, or whatever they are supposed to resemble and enjoying it!? You're going to be out there fighting wind and waves from the boat traffic, pedaling your legs off trying to have a "relaxing" time while bobbing up and down like an empty detergent bottle. Weirs on a weekend is like the scene in Caddyshack at the yacht club anyway, now add in this? Sadly, more than an anchor is going to get scratched, someone is going to get hurt.
