Vote for Middle Beach Road / Seagrove Bypass / New Connector

I disagree.

First, there are improvements we can make. Like fixing intersections such as 395 and 30A with proper turn lanes and keeping golf carts off of 30A.

Second, the main problems are during the approx 10 week summer rental season. We all have to be OK with more bikes and pedestrians on the road, and in the road, and weaving on and off the road, and darting out in the road. I'd much rather put up with a little delay (tiny compared to city traffic), than plow a road through state forest, disrupting the ecosystem. I doubt the State (or many locals) would go for it anyway.

Third, we already have good connecting roads from 30A to 98. They can be widened if needed. The only real problem section where it's hard to get to a connector and gets backed up is Seagrove. A turn lane at 395 should help. Wait a little while and be glad you're not backed up on an interstate in Atlanta.

Lastly, traffic in SoWal may get worse, but right now it ain't much to worry about. If you find yourself complaining about traffic here, you might just be a complainer. 😀

Not whiny, just sharing my feelings

It's my redwoods.

That's great but the history is clearing whatever long leaf pines and scrub oaks to grow something that can be shredded to fill plywood.

It's a suggested cut road that doesn't go through a neighborhood with kids on bikes with training wheels. You asked.

Yes, that is the history. The present however is removing loblolly and slash pines and replanting them with longleaf.

The traffic is not bad enough to warrant taking one of our natural wonders and I can assure you that there are far more people with the same opinion who will happily speak up at BCC meetings and more.

Matt J, you are right. Slow down, enjoy the scenery and life. If you have to get to work take one of the many connecters to 98 and go, go, go.

I knew they were planting longleaf on MC's land but didn't know they were doing it in PWSF. I don't really care about an additional cut through but one along the power lines would be nice. I only posted to point out that San Juan was an absolutely terrible idea and I am sure there are far more people with the same opinion who will happily speak up at a BCC meeting and more.

Heck with all that. Just make 30-A and all connectors toll roads, $1 annually for locals and confiscatory for any others to come and go. Build parking lots in Freeport, Inlet Beach and SRB for tourists. Then let Uber, shuttles and taxis take care of the rest.

I get that you're an elitist, but there are far more people concerned about dividing the forest than there are residents of San Juan.

Pay to park in Seaside?

I've posted about 100 times to your 21,000+ and you can quote a tongue in cheek quote of mine from 3+ years ago. That isn't creepy AT ALL.

I'm not getting into an Internet pissing contest with you. A major cut through in a residential neighborhood is still a comically bad idea.

I was pointing out how selfish your point of view is. Also it's called a search function, calm down.

I specifically chose my home in a subdivision that wouldn't be subject to this type of thing. I made sure there were no zoning bombs on vacant lots waiting to rear their ugly heads.

Would you like to see the original plat of your neighborhood? Santa Clara makes more sense as it has an 80 foot ROW owned by the county. San Juan is only 60 feet.
