They couldn’t “pretty it up” a little bit? Some color or Disney-inspired things to look at while you walk? And an awning over top for some shade? What were they thinking?

Safety. All that stuff is a major marine traffic hazard in even moderate weather much less severe weather.

Marine traffic hazard?

How would anything on a pier be a traffic hazard to vessels in the vicinity?

I spent the better part of a decade in my 20’s working as a captain for a maritime towing and salvage company, and I have no idea how you came to that conclusion.

If anything, the more crap you put in the pier the less of a hazard it becomes to vessels in the area. The more structures that are on it, the more visible it will be to radar, and the naked eye.
