Since the Wabasso Bridge is going to be so high, it will be impossible to have any fishing off of it, and thereupon, Commissioner Macdonald moved that a' Resolution be sent to the State Road Department requesting catwalks on the Wabasso Bridge, similar to those installed under the Sebastian Inlet Bridge. The Motion was seconded by Commissioner- Haffield and unanimously carried. RESOLUTION NO. 66-42 WHEREAS, the State Road Department of Florida has indicated that it is going to rebuild the Wabasso Bridge on State Road #510 over the Intracoastal Waterway from the Center Island across the Indian River over the East Channel of said river to.the East shore and make it into a high-level bridge in order to do away with the draw span; and WHEREAS, the sportsmen and fishermen in Indian River County have for many years used the Wabasso Bridge as one of the prime fishing areas in the county; and WHEREAS, with a high-level bridge it will be impossible to fish off of said bridge over the East Channel of the Indian River; and WHEREAS, it will be highly desirable for the safety of both the automobile traffic and the sportsmen to have catwalks under the bridge similar to the ones constructed over the Sebastian Inlet;. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Com- n4ssioners of Indian River County in Regular Session this, the 19th day of October, A. D. 1966, that it does hereby respectfully re- quest that the State Road Department build catwalks under the high- level bridge at Wabasso over the East Channel of the Indian River in order that the citizens of the State of Florida may continue to enjoy the fishing and in order to make said bridge as safe as possible.
