To the Editor:

My wife and I just visited the recently completed Barnegat Bay observation and fishing pier addition at the end of Green Street in Tuckerton. The facility is beautiful, spot clean with toilet facilities, children’s play equipment and lined parking. But I had to write this before something awful happens.

A drowning will occur if that facility is not closed until something is done to eliminate the danger. How the planners did not identify the danger in the planning stage is beyond understanding.
