Yes, I always thought it commendable what Florida did with the pier.
But they're not keeping the bridge spans structurally sound.
About 5-6 years ago they closed the eastern side of the piers because of
that. The western side is 17 years newer, but its time will come.
Cutting the available space in half made it much less attractive for me.

I guess it will come down to how much money they can afford to spend
on this.

I thought you loonytarians were in favor of government not doing
anything even if stuff falls apart.

You really do not want to start a discussion about deficient bridges.
Maryland doesn't look so good and the reason is, Florida does not
divert road tax money for other pork barrel projects.
The question is how much fishermen are willing to chip in to maintain
an interstate bridge ... just for a fishing pier.

You don't fish. How much of your tax money would you want to spend on
these piers? Maybe they could raid the bike lane money. ;-)

The reason is Florida doesn't have freeze-thaw-salt cycles for the most
part on its bridges and highways.
