Continue Discussion Regarding Fishing From the Bridge

The Village has received many communications (via email and Facebook) both in favor and against
allowing fishing on the Tequesta Drive Bridge.
11 comments received in favor
7 comments not against, but concerned or a suggestion was provided
35 comments against allowing fishing off the bridge
Suggestions made:
1. Allow only on either the east or west side - no fishing off center span
2. Allow at water level along the shore
3. Don't pass without an enforcement measure. Request a permit.
