Council adds two 30-minute parking spaces near Sunset Slush
Summary
The council voted 4-0 to add two 30-minute free parking spaces on the north end of West Drive near Sunset Slush after residents raised concerns about the loss of short-term spaces.
Atlantic Beach council members agreed April 21 to add two 30-minute free parking spaces on the north end of West Drive near Sunset Slush after councilmembers reported resident complaints about the loss of short-term parking.
Councilmember Joey Dean made the motion to add the spaces; Mayor Pro Tem Austin Waters seconded and the vote was unanimous, 4-0.
Council discussion noted that 30-minute spaces are often intended for brief drop-offs to access the beach and that some businesses had been affected by recent parking changes. Councilmember Harry Archer said he understood the 30-minute spaces were designed primarily for beach drop-offs rather than long business parking and suggested discussing parking minimums with Pivot, the town’s parking vendor.
The motion adds the two short-term spaces; the minutes do not list precise curb locations beyond “north end of West Drive” or any implementation date.
