Don't know how to find the link... Will post later if someone else doesn't.
They are going to tear out the oaks and put palm trees. Medjool palms, like at Alys. Also, they are going to put brick pavers around the inside of the circle, and add a walkway around the amphitheater.
I'm for everything except the tree changes. I think date palms are tacky.
I also think this current renovation is foreboding of a complete re haul of Seaside, south of 30-A, including 4 story structures. I cite Bud & Alleys PCB as another canary in the coal mine.

Perhaps Seaside is looking for the 1% to be their guests. The one time we went into the V, I thought, oh, this is where all the CEOs go. Shabby chic might not be bringing in the 1%. That's alright. Sports is heading that way. Well head back to Grayton or even front beach road/sunnyside. We'll adjust too. Ellen

From looking at the rendering, it appears that they are eliminating all of the parking that surrounds the interior around the where the stage is located. Is this correct?

No - it is just an amphitheater renovation at this point. The inner circle parking will remain, the large concrete pads there now are being replaced by pavers.

I agree.
Seaside is following their initial framework and evolving like it should.
Hey, they are just " following their arrow" !
Kudos to Seaside!!

Tom Stein doesn't mess around. They are working in the rain. Too wet for a photo. They have trenched the east side about 15feet deep and 8feet wide. Filling with pipes and gravel.

That's about 10 G's a palm right?

You'd think they'd make 100% sure that the drainage issues at the amphitheater are fixed properly before they spend a fortune on palms. None of my business. Someone has deep pockets.
I also heard from an employee at Bud's that a rooftop deck will be added to Pizza Bar. Awesome! So Dave won't be outta there anytime soon. The plan is supposed to be completed in 2030. By then I won't care about the changes and will probably have sold our investments there.

You don't need it in a walk-able community.

I believe off site parking will continue to be the norm for big events and holidays.

Why is it not needed? I'm not walking 15+ miles from my house in SRB to Seaside for an event. I would drive there and need a parking spot. Most events they host do not have shuttle service - parades, nutcracker, yard sale, music nights. Even it there isn't an event locals still drive there in the summer and enjoy the area and will need to park somewhere.

Not every event at seaside is meant for everyone within a 50 mile radius. Personally if I can't find a legal spot within seaside I'll try the public parking between seaside and watercolor. Failing that I just go home.

My mother in law was in Seaside yesterday and says there is some new construction going on beachside, she thought it was condos but I'm betting it was a house on that last lot just west of the pizza place. They haven't started construction yet on any of those proposed buildings in the new downtown plan have they?

Not condos and not on the lot you mention - might be one lot off Gulf front or remodeling on an existing house.

It looks like hell in Seaside. I'd be disappointed if I were visiting there during my first vacation to the 30A area. However, the large groups of kids won't care. They're just interested in showing off their bodies (regardless of weather) and scoring drugs and alcohol (which is really easy to do in Seaside due to it being the mecca for kids on spring break).
We love living in the 30A area. We just avoid Seaside (and leaving our neighborhood) during spring break and in the summer. Motivates me to buy healthy food and cook at home which I'm too lazy to do in the off-season.
