Why won't park replace bench?

I’ve seen this one too many times — state employees believing their job positions grant them the right to operate any way they see fit regardless of what the general public wants. Take for example a story of a public bench. Yes, something as simple and non threatening as a bench. Recently, I approached Randall Butt, Farragut Park manager, concerning the subject of a bench at  the Eagle boat launch. There had been a bench there for as long as I can remember but it was removed about a year ago.  In April, I first e-mailed Mr. Butt and asked him if he would be replacing the old bench. He said no and cited congestion issues.  I have a problem with his argument against replacing the old bench to its original site or at least close by.
