White Rock's iconic pier, which was badly damaged in December's violent windstorm, is slated for some modern upgrades once it's repaired. A section of the pier collapsed after being hammered by loose boats in a severe windstorm on Dec. 20, 2018. Gusting wind tore the boats loose and sent them crashing into the 104-year-old pier.
Technical drawings show the surface of the repaired pier will lately look the same with wood planks, steel decorative arches and lights lining the path.

The repairs are expected to be complete by the deadline of July 31, 2019. If the successful contractor is able to get it done 28 days prior to July 15, they could be eligible for a $112,000 bonus.
In January, Mayor Darryl Walker said he hoped to see the pier reopened by the end of summer.
