Pier reconstruction options to be discussed

By MEGHAN BRADBURY - | May 6, 2024

Reconstruction of the Yacht Club Fishing Pier is among the discussion items on Wednesday’s Cape Coral City Council agenda.

The presentation will highlight two options for pile restoration, as well as two options for the pier reconstruction itself. Costs also will be addressed.

The permitting would be anywhere from six to 12 months with a construction duration of six to 10 months at a price tag ranging from $4,322,000 to $6,574,000 depending on the option the council chooses, according to city documents.

The first option would entail a phased approach, calling for the restoration of 24 piles with existing storm damage, which would provide an estimated 15-year service life. The second option would restore all pilings at once for an estimated service life of 25 years.

The pier reconstruction would entail the installation of new decking, rails, and sun shelter once the existing pile restoration has been completed for the first option.

The second option would be a complete reconstruction of the pier with new pilings. Under this option existing piles would be removed, new piles installed, along with new deck rails and shade structure.

In other business:

• The meeting also will include beautification financial allocation.

• Public hearing for ordinance 35-24, an amendment to the infrastructure element to provide consistency with the Cape Coral Water Supply Facilities Work Plan. There is also an addendum for resolution 162-24 for the Water Supply Facilities Work Plan Update on the agenda.

The meeting will take place at 10:30 a.m. in Council Chambers, 1015 Cultural Park Blvd. Wednesday, May 8. The meeting is open to the public.
