Director Mike Remige explains that our maintenance technicians Sammy Thornton and Roger Trimbach plan to install the Park Avenue benches one at a time.
“They will be installed as time permits,” he said. “An old one will be hauled away across the street and a new one brought back in the ‘Gator.’” Wooden blocks were added to elevate them for a better view over the handrail.
The ‘one at a time’ gradual replacement plan allows for the guys to replace old worn planks underneath the benches out on the 1,000-foot-long fishing platform.
The project promises to dress up Jennette’s Pier just in time for the spring bite in our 14th season since reopening in May of 2011.
