MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — On recommendation from the Miami-Dade Police Department, Miami-area officials want the U.S. Coast Guard to install lights on the jetty where Marlins star Jose Fernandez crashed his boat.
Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez said in a memo Monday that the jetty where Fernandez crashed, killing himself and two others, posed a serious threat to boaters.
The Coast Guard began a new analysis last fall of the Government Cut jetties at the southern end of Miami Beach. The new analysis has not been released, but a previous study found that navigation aids in the area met boaters’ needs.
