GASPARILLA ISLAND — The $1 toll increase on the Boca Grande Swing Bridge hasn’t generated much negative feedback since the rate hike went into effect Oct. 1, Gasparilla Island Bridge Authority Executive Director James Cooper said Friday.

The bridge authority board announced in January that it would increase tolls to help pay for the replacement of the three aging bridges on Gasparilla Island. The island’s two fixed bridges and one swing bridge are 54 years old.
