By KEVIN DUFFY Staff Writer

Sanibei's public boat ramp re-opened for the first time in over a month and a half last week, denuded of most of its vegetation but appealing nonetheless. Closed since Hurricane Charley buzzed Sanibel on Aug. 13, the facility — which includes 98 parking spaces — served as a staging area for clean-up crews in the days following the atmospheric event. Boaters were officially cleared to return beginning Oct. 1, To some, the launch point that abuts Causeway Boulevard is their preferred place in the county to take to .7 : '& the waters of the Caloosahatchee River, and the Gulf of Mexico. They won't go anywhere else, said Wally Thomas, 35, who lives in Fort Myers. The owner of a 19-ft. Actioncraft, Thomas said the Sanibel boat ramp is his launch-point of choice because of convenience. "I've lived here all my life and this is by far the easi- est one to use," he said. "A crowd here is nothing like Punta Rassa." Naples resident Chuck Jenks, 22, agreed with his boat- ing buddy while helping hitch Thomas' craft to a trailer. "It's a lot nicer because me crowds aren't bad," Jenks said. "There were probably 50 trucks at Punta Rassa today." City Manager Judie Zimomra said that many boaters finally-were able to take to the water after dealing with hurricane concerns for several weeks. "It Was a weekend where a lot of people were able to get on the water for* the first time," she said. Last October, between 20-25 vehicles used the ramp during weekend peak hours of 12-2 p.m., Zimomra said. Thomas said he had to launch from Matlacha in the days following Hurricane Charley's visit to the area.

However, up to six months of mechanical adjustments follow even after the bridge is complete. According to Shapley that is not the time to take accurate account of vessel and vehicle traffic. Once the six months are up, the traffic study can be con- ducted. The study tests traffic for two weeks in the off sea- son and two weeks during season. "Once the study is done, the Coast Guard has to make a decision on the restricted operating rules," Shapley said. The misinterpretation came from correspondence between Paul Wingard, Department of Transportation, and Barry Dragon, a bridge management specialist of the Coast Guard. "When Barry made the initial comments, he did not state categorically this would happen, he said this is the normal practice," Shapley said. However, in an e-mail to Wingard, Dragon wrote: "When a new bridge is constructed the operating schedule is 'on signal'...The regulation is not necessarily indefinite, but we could not even look at a proposal for change for at least three years." According to Shapley, what was presented as policy is simply a practice the Coast Guard follows.
