The City of Tarpon Springs will be using a complete streets grant of $100,000 to study the impact of eliminating a dead-end road sign on Disston Avenue and eventually connecting it all the way through to Belcher Road.
BY SUSAN HANAFEE – A walk on the beach didn’t have the same meaning that it used to for some island residents and visitors this past season, as developers and homeowners took steps to keep the public away from their waterfront properties.
The addition of “private beach” signs, plus cameras and the posting of a security guard adjacent to the Hill Tide Estates development on the southern tip of the island rankled some nearby residents.
Hill Tide development adjoins the public beach by the Boca Grande Lighthouse.
“For many years my husband and I have walked around the island’s south end from Belcher Road around to the Charlotte Harbor side of the beach, and then into Boca Bay where we live. Recently, we’ve seen ‘No Trespassing’ signs go up from Hill Tide, including yellow barricade tape, and now what appears to be a guard! Since when is a public beach suddenly private?” a reader emailed the Boca Beacon.
