DOCUMENT SUMMARY: The Commander, Seventh Coast Guard District, has approved a temporary deviation from the regulations governing the operation of the Stickney Point (SR 72) Bridge, Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, mile 68.6, Sarasota County, Florida. This temporary deviation allows the Coast Guard to test an operating schedule with the bridge opening as necessary on the hour, twenty minutes past the hour and forty minutes past the hour, from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. At all other times the bridge will open upon demand. This temporary deviation will allow the Coast Guard to gather data to determine if this schedule meets the reasonable needs of navigation while accommodating vehicle traffic and whether it should be proposed as a permanent change.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
The Stickney Point Bridge (SR 72), Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, mile 68.6, Sarasota County, Florida, is a doubleleaf bascule bridge with a vertical clearance of 18 feet above mean high water (MHW) measured at the fenders in the closed position with a horizontal clearance of 90 feet. The current operating regulation in 33 CFR 117.5 requires that the bridge shall open on signal. The County of Sarasota requested a deviation from the current
operating regulations to allow the bridge to open as necessary on the
hour, twenty minutes past the hour and forty minutes past the hour from
6 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays, in
order to relieve vehicular traffic delays. In light of the foregoing,
the Commander, Seventh Coast Guard District, has granted a temporary
deviation from the operating requirements listed in 33 CFR 117.5 to
test the 20minute schedule. Under this deviation, the Stickney Point
(SR 72) Bridge, Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, mile 68.6, Sarasota County,
Florida shall open as necessary on the hour, twenty minutes past the
hour and forty minutes past the hour from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday
through Friday, except Federal holidays, April 24 through July 21, 2006. At all other times the bridge will open upon demand.
