The commissioner making the proposal thinks that the regulations are excessive and impinge on boater rights.

During the summer months, the bridge had scheduled openings so you knew when it was going up. The boaters had to wait for the bridge toAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37248244.post-33674280071179719022016-01-10T17:55:27.117-05:002016-01-10T17:55:27.117-05:00Such asshats.

I am appalled at some of the boats I see speeding on the little River. And don't even get me started about the jet skis. Francisco Garcia approved a jet ski operation just up River from Manatee Bend.

Realized this while waiting with hundreds of others as a bridge on NE 79th St opened TWICE in 15 minutes for single boats (containing maybe 3-4 people?). Get a smaller boat, keep it on the ocean, or wait at least an hour. Otherwise it's complete nonsense for the rest of us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37248244.post-8743769119863989502016-01-10T10:16:14.043-05:002016-01-10T10:16:14.043-05:00Wait!

But as individuals, they are incredibly vulnerable, and it is simply heartless and cruel to reduce their protections from powerboats.Rossnoreply@blogger.com
