    Drivers are short sighted morons that should not be listened to. They’d pave everything and then whine about traffic.

    When I read the word ‘park’ I expected more greenery.
    So far, it just looks like an abandoned stretch of road but then it seems they only closed it last year.
    Hope they can keep it and get some vegetation out there.

      The abandoned stretch of road is kinda the appeal. It’s like a boardwalk—previously there was a small pedestrian path parallel to the highway but I never used it because it was bumpy (impossible to skate, uncomfortable to bike on), and drivers sped down the highway which is also unpleasant to be around

      Well the people that don’t like it being a park aren’t there; they’re sitting at home angrily posting on Facebook that they can’t drive on the road anymore

      Does it really shock you that people who dont like it would not be photographed utilizing it

    “There’s going to be more development here. There’s going to be more density here. Our public transit is not keeping up, yet we are losing roads.”

    Soooo… Put that 14mil you want to spend into transit.

      It’s classified as a Bhyway, not to be confused with byway. Kind of like a stroad. So Americans can enjoy the beach at high speed without ever leaving their cars

    Good grief. Why would anybody want a constant stream of cars whizzing by right next to the beach?

    All those visitors enjoying the park and basically one guy with a $5 website to make it ‘controversial.’ Advertising has ruined the news.
