Franklin County Commissioners have agreed to end an outdated rule that closes a boat ramp in Eastpoint at night.
The rule was created on an emergency basis in 1981.
It affects only the Eastpoint boat ramp on Patton Drive and requires the boat ramp to be closed from 10 PM to 5 AM daily.
The rule was put in place to keep people from congregating and drinking at the ramp late at night, but most of those activities are banned from all boat ramps in the county and can be regulated without actually closing the ramp.
The 1981 ruled also banned the possession of alcohol at the ramp, while the newer rules allow the possession but ban the consumption of alcohol at county owned ramps.
