Description

Requesting that the waterway between Pasadena Avenue South/Corey Causeway Bridge plus Central Avenue Bridge and bridge between Causeway Isles & Yacht Club Estates, be designates as an IDLE SPEED ZONE! Request is to calm boat traffic in that area as many boaters use that area to circumvent/avoid the "idle speed" zone between the Central Ave draw bridge & the Corey Causeway draw bridge in the Intracoastal Waterway. Additionally the shallow bay contains a large seagrass bed, frequented by groups of Manatees in the middle of the bay , entering & exiting under the Pasadena Ave South & Huffman Way bridge. Boats that are avoiding the Intracoastal Waterway ignore NO WAKE and MANATEE ZONE signs, by blasting through the aforementioned area in this part of Boca Ciega Bay. We, as residents of Corey way South since 1987, request the IDLE SPEED ZONE. Thank you for your consideration.
