Scenic 30A now 25 MPH between Watercolor and Grayton

[Zebraspots]

The golf cart master plan has more than 10 bridges over our dune lakes and miles of 10' wide paved path.

We are being forced to spend our tax money (yes, our tax money, not BP money, not bedtax money) on it.

Everyone who is upset about the speed limit change needs to tell the commissioners they are upset.

Massive public outrage is the only way we get their attention and change things.

Getting ready for golf carts?

I love the idea!!!! It should be 25mph. Slow down and smell the wild rosemary!!!!!

I'm curious... have you tried to drive 25 MPH on that stretch between WaterColor and Grayton... try it and I don't think wild rosemary is the thought that will pop into your mind. In fact, drive out to any rural highway in your area and try driving 25MPH. I dare you.

What if.... We entertained the idea of public transportation? Ornate clean burning trolleys for example ( not covered in advertising ). Something we could be proud of. Then we looked at re-organizing our busiest intersections with a by-pass lane so our trolleys could move fluidly, but there's a bonus to that. Our Fire Dept, EMS, and Sheriff could also benefit from the by-pass when necessary. It would solve a lot of traffic issues from big weddings in Seaside to the simple solution of, hey I can't get a gallon of milk and dog food on my bike. Monies collected from fare and private rental could be put right back in the community. Here's the thing, if we don't counter with a solution that trumps the golf cart proposal, well, then golf carts its going to be.

The golf cart path is ridiculous for reasons explained by others.

30A needs a transportation system for spring break and June through early August. There's no point in spending tax dollars for building an intrastructure that is only needed during those time periods. I mean, you could bowl on 30A this weekend because it was so deserted. And wait until January and February. Even more deserted. That's probably our favorite time to be at the beach.

For those of you who don't know or don't care, the tourism industry drives walton counties economy, they are 4 laning 331 from defuniak to hwy 98 just to cater to the growing number of vacationers coming to walton county during the season. The tourists on 30A are the bread and butter for walton counties economy, little changes like this are very necessary and well justified to ensure the safety of the people on 30A. Also, no one has asked or is pushing to make golf carts acceptable on 30A, the state has set requirements which qualify vehicles with certain upgrades to be street legal, and almost every other state has exactly the same guidelines and rules for LSV's they are legal by all standards and not going anywhere.

It is not designed to help anybody but the golf cart industry. At least be honest.

If nobody is "pushing to make golf carts acceptable on 30-A" would you please tell me what you know about certain vendors of rental carts circulating petitions in Grayton area businesses petitioning lowering speed limits on 30-A to golf cart friendly speeds?
