Public Works/Public Safety Committee reviews projects, recommends $10K rapid flashing beacon
The Destin Public Works/Public Safety Committee met June 10, 2025. The committee approved prior minutes and the agenda, received project updates (Crosstown Connector, Morgan’s Sports Center, Clement Taylor Park, Norreigo Point, Hwy 98 utility undergrounding, Tarpon Street Beach), reviewed utility and pavement issues, and unanimously recommended City Council allocate $10,000 to install a rapid flashing beacon at the Gulf Shore Drive crosswalk near Oceania Condominiums. Staff reported ten damaged utility pedestals to be repaired/replaced, vegetation/visibility and pavement/striping actions, annual cleaning of exfiltration systems, and planned use of Kevlar fibers in future asphalt mixes. A request to revisit eBike speed limits will be brought to City Council for input.
