1:20 pm update the Facebook page for Slide the City<\/a> states the event is now scheduled for Oct 30, 2016 10-7 pm on the Edison bridge<\/p>\n

———–<\/p>\n

Slide the City hopes to move their giant waterslide event\u00a0back to the Edison Bridge, but state officials said they still do not have the proper permits.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Lee County\u00a0denied Slide the City the permit\u00a0to hold the event at Veterans Community Park in Lehigh Acres. That very night, event organizers switched gears back to Edison Bridge.<\/p>\n

Edison Bridge is state property, and these permits are not issued to “for-profit” companies.<\/p>\n

To get approval, Slide the City must have Fort Myers and Lee County sign off.<\/p>\n

They must also apply with the following:<\/p>\n

\u00b7 An MOT plan that shows temporary detours to be utilized by the public;
\n\u00b7 Traffic analysis;
\n\u00b7 Load rating information completed by hired structural engineer;
\n\u00b7 Water discharge plan for flow into city storm water;
\n\u00b7 Insurance plan to cover minimum of $5 million in total coverage;
\n\u00b7 Emergency services plan; and
\n\u00b7 Plan events to take place in daylight hours.<\/p>\n

“We need to make sure that what you’re putting on the bridge isn’t going to harm it,” said Zach Burch, FDOT.<\/p>\n

Meantime, customers still have nothing to show for their money.<\/p>\n

We contacted Slide the City and their parent company Sack Lunch Productions. They said they have listed a\u00a0refund link<\/a>\u00a0for dissatisfied customers and that once you get a reply, you can expect a refund in five days. As of today the Lehigh Acres Gazette cannot find the refund link on their website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
