Thanks! I saw the barriers and I figured that preliminary work had begun. I'm happy to see that it's going to get done. And I also hope that someone going out on the pier can give an update. I'm sure that the repair-guys didn't do anything in the bad weather.

Unfortunately Tato, we'll never see the results of the survey since it will consist of mostly negative comments.!

Looking better out there this week...

Ya think we have lighting issues...
St. Andrews State Park Pier to close for 60 days - News - Panama City News Herald - Panama City, FL

The pier will close as contractors install sea turtle-friendly lights in time for nesting seasonPANAMA CITY BEACH — The pier at St. Andrews State Park will be closed for a period of up to 60 days starting Monday, April 23, as new sea turtle-friendly, ambient lights are installed.
According to an alert on the park’s website, the park is overhauling the light system to comply with state and county sea turtle nesting season light codes. Because the pier will be an active construction zone, there will be no water or electricity running out to the pier and it will not be accessible to parkgoers.

The construction window is about 60 days, but Christina Deason, a park employee, said if the weather cooperates the project may be completed earlier. Sea turtle nesting season begins May 1, so the old overhead lights will be out and hopefully new lights installed just as turtles begin to come up from the Gulf.

The construction company packed up today and will do a checklist walk through tommorow but it appears that the lights are back on.

Yea guess everyone will be glad I won't be asking about them anymore.

I think everyone should be glad of your stubbornness. An I mean that in the best way

I just want to add one more thing. If your out on the pier at night and you see some lights out try to report it to the office. They don't go out at night and I'm sure we could get them to repair them as long as they know there out.
