Commissioners have voted to close a major beachfront drive to cars for part of the year. The closure would be from Thanksgiving through March, as the city works to make the drive permanently pedestrian-only. This change would affect the area between Fifth and 15th streets.
The decision was made after discussions with stakeholders, including the Ocean Drive Association. Businesses have reportedly seen an increase in activity when the drive is closed to cars. Further details on the proposal and the process for implementing the change are available from the source.
