WE WON THE VOTE!!! Naples voters turned out in high numbers to pass 1A, the option for a Moveable bridge, 484 to 339. Thanks to everyone who helped! Interestingly, the ratio was 59% to 41%, the same as in our survey. Results thru May 20, 2008, 8 pm:
Open 102 (59%); Closed 71 (41%); Total Respondents 173
Original survey report: May 20, 8 pm Survey Report (pdf)
and Comments from Respondents thru May 20, 8 pm.
We publish all comments. If the MDOT would send us their results, as they promised May 12, we'd publish those, too!
After the polls closed, we opened a 2nd, identical survey, which is ongoing. Results as of Weds., Sept. 10, 2008, 8 pm:
Open 95 (88%); Closed 13 (12%); Total Respondents 108
Read 2nd Survey Report (pdf); and 2nd Survey Comments.
A new, different survey will be added shortly, as input, ideas and comments will continue to be needed.

The Save The Bridge Committee's work has just begun. We now will work with the Naples Selectboard and MDOT to get the swing bridge repaired or replaced. We also still need the financial support of all the stakeholders of Lake Region boating, most of whom live out of Naples or out of state, so Please donate now! Make checks payable to Save The Bridge and mail to:

Thank you for your support!
Please note: Donations to Save The Bridge are not currently tax-deductible. That should change shortly, and will be noted here.

Website updated Wednesday, March 22, 2009. New items are added often, so please check back for more news and background information. And if you have any photos, history or other materials you think might be helpful, please email us at info@savethebridge.org Thanks! -Maggie Krainin, Committee Chair & Webmaster.
