Boats And Highways Cu spidor Letter on Vacating Old Highway 98
The Cuspidor discusses the proposed vacation of the last 500 feet of Highway 98 through Henderson Beach Park. The county plans to turn the old road over to the county after the new 98 is built, with access only from the new road and no public beach access. A Jan hearing will consider vacating the right of way, which would not affect park property but would remove private road maintenance and place the parcel on the tax rolls.
