It's a worth while project in my feeble mind. I first visited 188th street in 1969 and then made the pilgrimage periodically over the years. I considered it a pretty magical place. I'll never forget it.

Perhaps someone could set up a petition at the Florida Powerboat Club booth at the Miami Boat Show for people from all over the country/world to sign and then the city council could see the impact the street had on the industry.

If a petition would help the case, its easy to get one going at http://www.petitiononline.com/ .....they will host it for free, and it is reachable to anyone in the world to sign it. Booths at powerboat themed events would help too.
