Sidney will provide . boaters with a-much needed ser- vice, boaters and their, vessels says a Sidney Anglers director. Sidney Anglers will replace an’ old boat ramp in Tulista Park, ‘and hope to open it to the public July 1, Ed Dougherty said Mon- day at a Sidney council meeting. The cost. of building a new ramp is less than repairing the ramp located at the foot of Beacon Avenue, maintains. Insufficient parking is also a major problem for boaters us- ‘ing the facility in front of the Sidney Hotel, he added. “That ramp is -in terrible still open.’ - Commercial vessels unloading heavy machinery and equipment have caused most of ~ the damage to the hotel ramp, he said. - , “YT wrecked my trailer. on it because it’s in such bad shape.”’ Sidney Hotel owners donated _the ramp to the anglers group about: 10 years ago, and it was up to the fishing club to. main- tain it, hotel manager Dennis é Paquette said. . Damage caused by barges hit- : ting the ramp while unloading makes the facility too expensive ‘to repair, Dougherty said. Paquette said boaters use the “ramp at their own risk and the ~ hotel does not charge for its use.
