It's the mouth of a river, what do you expect. Let them crash their boats, it will weed out the idiots no the water. Or ban docks and make them illegal!
If only we had that $400K fire boat, this would not have happened...
Hideaway is desperate and Coastal Engineering realizes this. $$$
Molly does not make you do that type of stuff. Was most likely crystal meth.
If you do not look past the title its rather misleading to someone like myself who grew up on the island. You either make it off the Rock or you're stuck there for life.
Ban the lake! Grew up on the island, this is a first.
Stan passed last year, why does NDN have a photo of him up "talking with patrons"
NDN - get you ish together.
in response to WizeOlMarco: "...The condominium is located at the point where the Marco River meets the entrance to Collier Bay. In 2012, emergency dredging of the pass changed currents and the velocity of water entering and leaving the pass...." The pass is the point for much of the tidal water flowing in-out of Collier Bay plus Marco Island's north side canals. During incoming tides the water flow can be strong, sweeping vessels toward the condo docks and seawall. Plus, is a 'no wake zone'. Inattentive boating or equipment malfunction = trouble at this location.

Spot on with that. Try avoiding the Marco Princess during an incoming tide when she's entering that waterway. Talk about some scary sh**
in response to 1Paradiselost: We all remember it was this group of homeowners that cut down the trees on Coconut Island. Once the trees were cut, Coconut was gone within 3 years. That island protected your private beach. Now you have hat in hand looking for money. Time to pass the hat to all the residents of Hideaway Beach... Your really did not expect your conservative neighbors who have their first dime to bail you out, did yea? We can only support your beach problem when the gates come down and we all can swim on your beach & play golf on your private course.

Well put.
I do miss Coconut Island. Sandollar is making a hell of a comeback tho.
Bottom line - it's absurd how the Hideaway residents demand the county funds their private community woes. They're in the top 1%, they can surely afford it.
Who is this idiot? No one seems to know him
aka common sense
ANYONE ELSE IN SHOCK AND DISBELIEF? NOT
in response to bondie: Coconut Island was a small, barrier island covered with trees. Even though they were "not native" trees as some complained, they held the soil and island in place. I remember Hidaway Beach tenents viciously complained that their view was compromised and ordered that the trees be removed. That was unconscionable. Not only did the trees hold the island in place, it was a refuge for birds. Also, as a barrier island, it helped to keep Hideway's beach from eroding from the wind and serf. This is now your problem and you should pay for any replenishment. We, the taxpayers should not be charged for your arrogant mistake!

lol
what a load of crap this is. I was hoping the condos would sink into the Gulf so my house would be beachfront property
MIPD is a joke. So is this fat arse
Duane's just in it for the money. He needs new barges so his cranes don't sink again.
???? It was pink on Sunday..I just drove past it after raging in Miami all weekend
WHY DONT YOU JACK UP THE BOAT RAMP FEES TO! SAY $40 PER LAUNCH?
THEY SHOULD HAVE BUILT A SMALL PARKING GARAGE THERE.
West Marine will still rob you blind
and 5 more officers too?
And the picture was funny!
ah! we got a little wind and rain. ah!
CAN WE JUST ELECT PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE YEAR ROUND, WHO MAY HAVE LIVED HERE THEIR ENTIRE LIVES? SOMEONE WITH A CLUE.
in response to RayPray: Marco Keystone Kops now have been supplied with Body Armour. So should be able to patrol even 6th Avenue. Otherwise, should we buy them some drones to attack the island vicious octogenarian crime gangs from a safe remote height....

NO WAY LOL.
FOR WHAT? THE OCCASIONAL PELICAN DROPPINGS FROM ABOVE? THE NIGHTLY ELDERLY DRUNKS WITH CANES OR HOV-A-ROUNDS? SAY IT AINT SO!!!!
INCREASED SECURITY? FOR WHAT? WHAT ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH NEEDS SECURITY ON MARCO ISLAND OTHER THAN 6TH AVE?
THEY NEED TO DECREASE THE AMOUNT OF OFFICERS, VEHICLES, & VESSEL'S. WE NEED 10 POLICE OFFICERS, MAX. AND THE GINGER KID SHOULD GO FIRST. SHERMINATOR OR W/E THEY CALL HIM.
Duane's just looking for business. What a scam
in response to keepmarcosafe: Hey Throat_Yogurt........I guess forging prescriptions, forging doctor signatures and stealing people's identity to submit an application to get "free" meds and then sell them to "help" people is no crime to you. You must have a record.....or maybe one of her "patients". Sounds like this "helper" is looking at some serious charges and time. Maybe she can help people in prison......they need it.

No record, not a patient.
Just poking some fun at a rather negative situation. Lighten up buddy. Happy starts at the Snook @ 10, have a drink.
Marco Island crime of the year! Someone trying to help others - although "illegal" in the governments eyes - a generous idea.
Back to simple traffic stops and slip n falls copers!!!
Lets launch the manatee that was hit by a boat at the BOAT RAMP! wtf?
Service still BLOWS! ice cream machine it down 80% of the time
in response to Genuine: GGator, in spite of your lack of respect and class, Chief Hunter and the entire MIPD are committed to protecting and serving those of your ilk. Kudos and a firm salute to the MIPD!

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
cant wait to see how many carriages get rear ended by the elderly snowbirds hahahahaha
Publicity Stunt
OBVIOUSLY THE COPS ARENT PREPARED. IT TAKES 8 OF THEM TO PULL OVER A 90YR OLD.
YOU'VE GOT TO BE F'ING KIDDING ME.
THERE ARE NO DANGERS TO RIDING A BIKE IF YOU ARE AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS, CAN MANEUVER A BIKE PROPERLY AND DON'T PUT YOUR DOGS IN THE DAM BASKET!
6TH AVE, THAT SAYS IT ALL. SHE WAS PROBABLY ILLEGAL TOO
WASTE WASTE WASTE
Silly idea but we should make qualifications to be on city counsel. say minimum 25yrs on the island to start out with. Our current counsel members all have S4B
A floating walk way will surely cause lawsuits due to the elderly attempting to cross and "slip & fall).
Shuttles will never happen.
Build a 3 story parking garage at the present South Beach parking area. Charge the hell out of the tourists. And I can park for free with my MICA card :)
I have a nice laugh every time I pass Hideaway omw to Keewaydin
COPS ARE NOT MAKING THEIR BUDGETS FOR TICKETING - THIS WILL HELP FUND THEIR NEW GAS GUZZELING TAHOE'S. WAKE UP MARCO RESIDENTS, YOUR BEING BULLIED AND NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. TAKE THE ISLAND BACK! MUTINY!
OOOOOO Hideaway...you shouldn't have womaned about the trees on Coconut island. Tisk tisk. Cant wait for those condos to sink so my house becomes oceanfront property
HE LOOKS LIKE A BADLY AGED MEL KIPER. NICE BENTLEY GTS THO JACK
in response to 1Paradiselost: $4,000,000 found..... Time for a tax cut!
$4,000,000 found..... Time for a tax cut!
