Resident warns of dangerous road design at Butler West boat ramp
Summary
A resident criticized the planned Butler West boat-ramp access and adjacent road width and lack of warning signage, saying the design could lead to fatal accidents and calling for engineering fixes and signage.
During public comment, a resident identifying himself as Boat Grama (Billy Hennessy) told the board that a proposed boat ramp at Butler West included a road-width design that he described as unsafe and said it had been revised after local review. He said the initial design showed a dangerous narrowing and that the county had not installed warning signs indicating the road narrows; he urged the county to address signage, trailer parking designation, and other safety fixes before an incident occurs.
Hennessy said neighbors and local news outlets reviewed the designs and succeeded in stopping an initial plan he described as hazardous. He offered to meet with staff on site to discuss further remedies and urged the board to prioritize safety fixes over cosmetic upgrades.
