After a series of overnight disturbances at Mile-Long Pier this summer, the Lorain Port and Finance Authority is making some adjustments to improve safety.
Port Authority Executive Director Tom Brown was not available for an on-camera interview Wednesday but told News 5 that large groups of cars have been parking at the end of the pier’s long North parking lot and leaving litter, causing disturbances and, in some cases, violence.
Additionally, Lorain Police have been increasing patrols of the area, and all of the organizations have been monitoring surveillance video throughout the pier. This is not in any way closing the pier to the fishing community or to anyone else. You can park in the south lot and walk out to where you would like to fish or view the lake. Many parks are closed completely after dark, but we are in no way trying to do that currently.We ask for some patience as we continue to evaluate this issue with our partners at Oasis Marinas at Port Lorain and the Lorain Police Department but remain committed to continued public access to our Great Lake.
“It makes it harder on the older people who have to walk down here now. Not myself, but quite a few friends can’t be here now,” he said.
