After being told repeatedly that the Pier approach
was unsafe for pedestrians now the approach will be used to haul thousands of
tons of debris as the inverted pyramid is torn down. There will also be a lot
of construction equipment needed to complete the demolition process.
You may also remember that "safety" was
one of the reasons given for shuttering the Pier over a year before any final
decision was made.
It will be interesting to see what safety
precautions Glasbrenner takes in terms of truck size and load size as the
demolition process begins. Limitations on size and weight of demolition
equipment could seriously affect the time to complete the demolition phase.
It is a real dilemma for the Kriseman administration.
They want the inverted pyramid gone as soon as possible to help avoid a
referendum and it is also in Glasbrenner's interest to get the job done as soon
as possible.
My guess is the Pier approach had a lot more life
left in it than Foster, Kriseman or Connors wanted the public to know about,
but then it would be a shame to see one of those shiny 12 wheeler dump trucks
sitting on the bottom of the bay.
