Draft: 3.5'These curfew hours are too restrictive for residents that have boats south of the bridge. There should be an exception to at least open on the hour upon request for residents during the curfew hours.

LOA: 50'
Draft: 4.0'I do understand the Indian Creek bridge has to have certain restrictions during rush hour. Nonetheless I find it totally unreasonable for residents with boats slips on the Indian Creek Chanel south of the bridge. I do not expect to have it open on demand, but I do believe that ONLY for residents the bridge should open at 5pm and at 6pm, if a resident requests it. Respectfully, R Traub
