Re: “Debate erupts over plan for handrails on breakwater,” Dec. 14.

Let’s get this straight: $500,000 is going to be spent putting up railings so that fewer than the zero people who are presently falling off the pier will fall off in the future?

Talk about unintended consequences: With children and others climbing up the proposed railings, I’m afraid that Ogden Pier’s stellar safety record is coming to an end.
