ANNA MARIA CITY PIER, RESTAURANT & BAIT SHOP DEMOLITION
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin’ out the scenery, breakin’ my mind
While the signs are still there, the scenery has changed. On Monday, July 9 the demolition process began with the removal of the metal roof and the remaining contents inside the vacant restaurant and bait shop. Wednesday, July 11 the scene was of a demolition area with two barge-mounted excavators docked alongside the vacant pier building with the restaurant and bait shop building still standing. The following day, Thursday, July 12 the scene changes again when the restaurant and bait shop building at the pier’s end are demolished. Within the next week or two a local crew are scheduled to remove the remaining engraved wooden pier planks.
These planks will be stored and used later to build memorial walls at a nearby park. Once the engraved planks are removed the main pier structure will be demolished and then the existing wooden pier pilings will be removed. The demolition is expected to end in the mid September with the building of the platform expected to start late August 2018 and conclude July 2019. Work on the bait shop and restaurant is scheduled to begin in April 2019 with all work to be completed by December 2019.
