Subject: Opposi on To Bonnybrook Pier Extension
For several genera ons, my family have been mooring sail and motor boats between Loop Beach and Samsons’
Island and are well aware of the narrowing of the channel between Samsons’ Island and a small beach on the mainland.
During my life me, several a empts have been made to enlarge the channel in this area without success. There is
presently a significant and at the same me, a no ceable increase in sail and motorboat traffic in the channel. The
narrowing of the channel increases the dal flow along the Pe oner's beach and an extension of their pier will
unnecessarily increase the risk of an accident. The denial of this permit will not present a hardship to the Pe oner since
it has had for many years a substan al mooring off its beach.
I find it significant that the Harbor Master opposes this Pe on.
