Meet me at ... that place downtown where there's a bunch of bridges, right by the Pablo Center – you know ... that spot by the Chippewa River? 

To avoid confusion, Downtown Eau Claire Inc. wants to make this unofficial one-mile path (pictured above) more official, and they’re looking for your help brainstorming a name! 

The loop includes the Grand Avenue, Phoenix Park, and Haymarket bridges, along with public paths along the Confluence and Chippewa River.

They want your suggestions on how to fill in the blank so that when you enjoy this area in the future you can confidently say, “Meet me at the _____!”

Submissions for names are open until Sept. 30, according to a Facebook post by DECI, when the DECI board and staff will narrow it down to their top three choices. A public vote for the winner will run through October, and a winning name will be announced at the beginning of November!
