Are you wondering if you will be able to launch at the LBR? Now you can send a quick text and find out if it is full or open! Text boatramp to 67283 and you can get that information!
Mike Parkman from CoVB Parks and Rec explains: ” Residents we have heard you. I was here a few weeks ago discussing our new digital signs on Shore Drive that alert people when the boat ramp is full. We had a lot of comments and we have heard you and starting today if you text boat ramp to 67283 you will be subscribing to a new text alert system that when our boat ramp is full we’ll be able to send that text out to everybody. It will say the boat ramp is closed as of ? pm and will reopen at ? pm. One thing to keep in mind is that it won’t be a one for one. We’re going to do a block of time so there may be 10 spots so we can get people off the road quicker.
We have a lot of issues with people when we are closed trying to maneuver their boats and trailers through the neighborhood. We hope this system will help people understand sooner and not turn off Shore Drive because once you turn off Shore Drive into the small narrow neighborhood roads it poses a safety issue for people driving the vehicles and for the residents in the neighborhood.” Know before you go! video here.
