Gender? age? start point? destination? Would that information help a predator find his prey? Add household incomes and you might reel in a home invador or cat burglar. But then the questions may simply be innocent and intended to collect useful data to sell to markets. As for useful data intended to assist in deciding what size and type bridge is needed, place an automated traffic counter on the bridge. They even have new ones now that can distinguish between personal vehicle traffic and truck traffic. Indeed why would any other data be required? Why someone uses a bridge or where they came from or where they are going is not relevant. What is relevant is the number, type and weight of vehicals using the bridge on a daily basis. That can all be determined by automated counters. The rest is fluff and simply intended to use up the 1 million dollars to collect information to sell for more money.

Who doesn't get what...why chatter about something that is not going to happen.

capnjimbo. It already happened. We are chattering about the survey not the possiblity of a bridge. We are chattering about the government procurement agent that approved a clear marketing ploy enabling some private enterprise to make a bundle at our expense. We are talking about wording that has no relevance to the purpose of the money being spent. We ae talking about a 1 million dollar ripoff of the taxpapers of Collier County perpetrated by Mike Minozzi a memember of Marco Island's self-serving City Council. Do you get it now?

problem is so many people that come to marco are day trippers that are either driving around looking at how "the rich folk live" or they are casing the houses for fruit trees and pool equipment to steal
shouldn't our expensive camera system that reads license plates be able to give all the information as to weather we need a toll on the bridge oh that's right it doesnt work and has been swept under the rug or should it now be bridge
