Open Beach Argument Rages ON!

I am using this picture again to show what it is like on our beaches most of the time. If the beaches are closed to driving this and many other areas will be lost to the public!






Corpus Christi City Council Considers More Beach Closures!
The proposal by Council member Mark Scott to change the adopted city ordinance closing beach traffic in front of the sea wall to include the area desired for development by Paul Shexnailder is unacceptable, furthermore it proves what myself and others have been saying all along about this beach issue. You give in to one commercial development and others will want theirs!
I have never believed this issue was in anyway about “beach safety” which has not been a real issue, but about whether or not public beaches will be handed over to developers for their own private use.
This proposal is about going back on your word. Everybody I contacted prior to the passage of the beach-traffic closure ordinance told me “We will only close this section of the beach. We have no plans to close off other parts of the beach.” Now this comes along. Where will you stand now?
This is an important issue to me. I think preserving our unique beaches for all to come and enjoy is a bigger draw for visitors than would be the building of some fancy high dollar resort catering only to the rich. Are we going to make our beaches a playground for the “rich and famous” only?
