Reader Spotlight: Beckett Bridge Needs 'Vision'

Tarpon Springs Patch highlights interaction with our readers. Today, it's a reader-posted comment on the current proposals for Beckett Bridge.

Thanks to Patch reader David Bolton Realtor, who posted this comment on an article regarding the future of Beckett Bridge:

"Let's keep the end in mind. Tarpon Springs has busy waterways and this bridge is very important to the homes it services and the boaters that use the waterway. The bayou route for walkers and bikers is also extremely important to the lifestyle our city offers. I think this would be a great time to evaluate the entire bayou route for all. Raise the bridge, create a wider walkway around the entire bayou and extend the path to our Sunset Beach. Current sidewalks are broken, incomplete and offer poor crossing of the small bridges at Whitcomb as well. Let's think "master plan" and not just one bridge! 
VISION!!!!"
