After a thorough inspection by the City of Key West Engineering and Community Services Departments, it has been determined that the light pole pedestals on the Edward B. Knight Pier are beyond repair and pose a safety hazard of falling. Saltwater intrusion on the pier, especially during recent tropical events has eroded the fixtures.

The City has established a safety zone around the light poles and will begin removing them on Tuesday. The pier remains open to the public but closed from 11 p.m. until 7 a.m. – the hours of all City parks.
