Susan Rothka, Rotonda, Boca Grande Travel Inc.: "I feel like anything that has been in service as long as it has should be preserved."

Capt. Al Hamilton, Englewood, Boca Boats: "I hate to see it closed. But we don't want someone getting hurt either."

Calvin McLeod, Placida, Realtor: "My kids love fishing off this pier. The love catching sheepshead here."
