Petition Seeks Parking Change on Highway 98 in Destin and Fort Walton Beach
About 1300 residents petition to lift the No Parking ban on the south side of U S Highway 98 from Grand Mariner to Henderson Beach area while keeping the north side restricted. They also propose a 25 mph speed limit on the two-lane segment for public safety. County commissioners may urge the state to maintain current signs as enforcement and safety reports support the ban.

Trust Land Proposal Gets Panel Nod
Destin zoning review panel endorses a plan for 2000 acres owned by Mattie Kelly. The master plan calls for a 50 foot green belt along the north side of a relocated Highway 98, a south side business strip, and zones for residential duplexes and hotels. Feeder roads and a marina site near Joe's Bayou are discussed as long term features. Public hearings will follow final panel recommendations.
