Pier Closed Indefinitely By City
Wow… this is a shocker. So, the city’s regular inspection failed to prevent a major disruption to fishing on the Flagler Beach Pier. OMG – someone could have really been hurt!
- Last known repairs to Pier? 2005
City officials failed to protect pier and public from normal weathering and until recently missing pilings and cross beams were not noticed. The 806 ft pier is closed indefinitely.
Where have the city commissioner been? Taking trips, celebrating recent victories. In my opinion this is gross negligence and incompetence on the part of the City of Flagler Beach. Who is supposed to keep the pier open? Who is elected to see that the city runs uninterrupted? And how does this happen?
Keep in mind, we pay our taxes, we support our businesses, we do what is right. Where are our elected officials, our inspectors? How often do you see City employees sitting at the pier smoking and not paying attention to the needs of the people. It is our pier that is closed and it is going to cost us to repair the deferred maintenance and neglect that our pier has been given.
