The actual and current plan is to pull it.
The province does not care for anyone but themselves, their own survival, and of course a generous pension at the end of the day.
They certainly will not take over maintenance / liability of this structure.
And so, they intend to destroy it.
I'll see if I can dig up the appropriate contacts to express your concern to.
Hope like hell I am not simply wasting my time in doing so once again...
Jaded,

SAN MATEO CONVENIENCE FLOAT
The Port Alberni Port Authority (PAPA) advises the public and mariners that the convenience float located in San Mateo Bay will be removed, at the request of the Province of British Columbia, effective March 8, 2019. The Province has resumed jurisdiction over this area from PAPA.
