Robin Stott (9211 Amherst Avenue, Margate) agreed with Mr. Henry. She stated that the Ordinance was a fair compromise until the inclusion of the 75 ft, language. She questioned why warning signs can't be posted warning fishermen and pedestrians.

Don Yesksy (Somers Point resident) stated the first 75 feet of the bridge is the location for the best fishing.

Jeff Normant requested the 75 ft. Amendment be removed. He suggested October to April because it would not impact traffic. As it stands now the fishermen are only getting a quarter of the year for fishing.
