Since the Wabasso Bridge is going to be so high, it will be <br />impossible to have any fishing off of it, and thereupon, Commissioner <br />Macdonald moved that a' Resolution be sent to the State Road Department <br />requesting catwalks on the Wabasso Bridge, similar to those installed <br />under the Sebastian Inlet Bridge. The Motion was seconded by Commissioner- <br />Haffield and unanimously carried. <br />RESOLUTION <br />NO. 66-42 <br />WHEREAS, the State Road Department of Florida has indicated <br />that it is going to rebuild the Wabasso Bridge on State Road #510 <br />over the Intracoastal Waterway from the Center Island across the <br />Indian River over the East Channel of said river to.the East shore <br />and make it into a high-level bridge in order to do away with the <br />draw span; and <br />WHEREAS, the sportsmen and fishermen in Indian River County <br />have for many years used the Wabasso Bridge as one of the prime <br />fishing areas in the county; and <br />WHEREAS, with a high-level bridge it will be impossible to <br />fish off of said bridge over the East Channel of the Indian River; <br />and <br />WHEREAS, it will be highly desirable for the safety of <br />both the automobile traffic and the sportsmen to have catwalks under <br />the bridge similar to the ones constructed over the Sebastian Inlet;. <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Com- <br />n4ssioners of Indian River County in Regular Session this, the 19th <br />day of October, A.
