I claim brain cramp.
Please Note:
On upcoming BCC meeting June 14th, TDC is requesting guidance on the proposed Headland Ave Beach Access in Seagrove. This beach access has been previously shot down at an earlier meeting, but there is momentum to revisit. This is an important beach access as it leads to Public, Not Private, beaches in Seagrove. Beachfront land owners in this area do not own to the MHWL. No lawyers required, just one additional BCC commissioner to vote yes.
Please consider making your voices heard through; email, phone, etc...thereby gaining access to "public beaches".

Headland Ave Beach Access Workshop was approved at tonight's BCC meeting.
Workshop will take place on July 12th an hour before meeting. Primary resistance is from two beach front owners on both sides of county land. Although, it appears there is momentum in the community to press county into utilizing county owned property to gain access to "publicly" dedicated beaches in Seagrove.

This is a vital step in the move to allow the public access to the beaches.

You know what would really be a vital step? Removing all of the no parking signs and barriers from public right of ways.
I find this practice to come from the same dark place that produced signs and chains on the beach. Except there is even less justification for it because it is a recorded and legal right of way. There are so many public accesses that we can't use only because adjacent homeowners don't want us to.
Walton county clean it up - remove signs and barriers from public right of ways!

Public property should be protected by the government so that every citizen has the same rights to its use. Obstructions in the right of way and signage that attempts to subvert the rights of use for the general public to publicly owned property should never be tolerated.

I think you would find that line of sight for safety is a big problem in many of the locations where neighborhood accesses are found. When there are lots of driveways, parking can create major safety issues. Right of Ways have many purposes besides parking (utilities, for instance).

Parking near driveways do not cause major safety issues. Not sure what you mean by line of sight either.
Yes there are some accesses where parking is nonexistent because of small streets, tight spaces, and landscaping. But there are many that would have a lot of parking if not for signs and chains, and posts. etc. Walton Rose Ln has a couple of hundred yards with very few driveways and dozens of signs.
