The Warwick Neck / Rocky Point Fishing Pier is nearing completion.
This is what happens when the planners have only seen piers on Postcards.
I hope I am wrong but my take is this, unless there is something drastic still to be unveiled: There will be no fishing, no boating, no pets. We will need 10 feet of Global Warning inspired Sea Level rise to make that work for fishing. Of course at 5 feet of Global Warning inspired Sea Level rise Warwick Neck becomes an island, and all the debris from coastal housing will gum up the pier from fishing anyway. Until then, people will fall off those lowered railings trying to reach over to see how badly the fish has wrapped on the pylons. High Bridge / Pier Fishing is an art and can be done but your local family of four with little kids will be vastly screwed with anything beyond choggies.
Again, unless there are things we are unaware of, like lower floating sections (which raises different problems), this pier will be a hard fish for regular poeople.
