HA zip 32401 27NOV2024: You won’t find a yard on the street without a sign protesting this. To not listen to the people this would most affect is disgraceful.

JW zip Kentucky 42025 29DEC2023: Was visiting over Christmas and saw this Beautiful scenery 😍. I seen the following sights around this Country, Golden Gate Bridge, Lake Tahoe, Nigrafall Falls, Charleston Battery and Rainbow Row. Please don't destroy this Beautiful Site forever 🙏.

BD zip 32405 04NOV2024: I have lived in the 32405 area my entire life. I went to Holy Nativity Episcopal School for 12 years of my life. I have albums of photos on Beach Drive and would love to continue taking them. I took my Mosley Homecoming photos there, multiple times. I was a flower girl in the Azalea Trail ,multiple times, and the after party was always on Beach Drive. The house with the two big lion statues. My parents looked at and almost bought the dark brick two story home five doors down. This road is my life, and has been. Let it continue.

JS zip 32408 05NOV2024: Implementing this structure is not only damaging the historic beauty of the environment in downtown Panama City but is also unconventional for the people who live here. The half cent tax is attempting to be added because of a lack of funding so it makes no sense to spend unnecessary money on more projects and especially a project that is doing the opposite of uplifting a community and is instead destroying it.

PB zip 32401 06NOV2024: I’ve grown up here in Panama City. I’m a local. For as long as I can remember, driving down beach Drive has always been the most therapeutic thing Panama City has to offer. Not to mention the wildlife In that vicinity and area should not be disturbed.

PM zip 32409 04NOV2024: I grew up here and my cousin who is fighting cancer right now used to take me here all the time. If I loose him I won’t have that to look back on and visit. It’s always been beautiful and one of the many reasons I love where I live and everyone should want to preserve it’s beauty so our children can also grow up with that view and value the earth in general and our community.

CG zip 32408 26OCT2024: Beach drive is a local landmark. The entire thing. That’s what everyone knows as the long way home. Everything in bay county is growing but Beach drive pays respect to the past and where we've been. Driving down Beach makes you realize why your great grandparents fell in love here and never left.

AF zip 32405 28SEPT2024: I am 65 years old and have loved that drive ever since I was a kid visiting my grandparents. I love to take sunset and sunrise pictures on that street. Please please don't take down God's beauty.

DZ zip 32408 25OCT2023: The multi-use path" on Cherry Street in the Cove is an eye sore. Beautiful Beach Drive doesn't need any more concrete or asphalt and doesn't need to look like the Cherry Street disaster. Another path on Beach Drive will increase the traffic, which is already too congested at times. Another path would not be fair to the property owners on Beach Drive, who purchased their property with the expectation of having a peaceful, unobstructed, natural view of the beautiful bay.

CE zip 32405 27MAR2024: This is a travelled route for many as well as a scenic route for visitors. Do not waste more money on dumb projects like shutting down part of Beach Drive. Money has already been wasted on a boat launch at Watson Bayou instead of improving the launch on the City Marina. As a representative on the City commission for the people of Panama City you really need to get your priorities in order

LW zip 32401 16OCT2024: My wife and I recently purchased a home in Panama City, in The Cove. One of the main reasons we chose our location was the beautiful scenery was we drive along Beach Drive to our home. When we have family and friends come to visit we always give them directions to come in from this route because of the beauty of the ride. This proposal, if carried out, will forever change the view we so love. Please Do Not proceed with this proposal.

NM zip 32401 09OCT2023: This whole boondoggle is financially irresponsible, which seems to be standard with this city commission. Beach Drive has already been repaved, yet the rest of the city crumbles with potholes, ancient leaking water pipes, and failing lift stations that spill outrageous amounts of disgusting raw sewage into the bay. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the current natural beauty of the shoreline. The talk of relocating trees and palms is laughable. You will be completely destroying the fragility of the shoreline. The way the city fails to care for our infrastructure ought to prove they will not upkeep this ridiculous pathway.
