Franklin County Commissioners have tabled any action to change to the county's parking ordinance for Alligator Point and St. George Island.
Parking has been a constant problem at Alligator Point for years because there aren’t many places to park, and visitors tend to take liberties once all the legal parking spaces are filled.
There have been complaints of beach goers parking on dunes, vegetation, and even private property, including people's driveways.
The problem is worst near public beach access points where there are an average of 10 parking spaces for the public – but sometimes 30 or 40 cars that need to park especially during busy weekends during the summer and spring break.
The board had scheduled a public hearing earlier this month, but found they had too many unanswered questions to make an informed decision on how best to move forward.
They have decided to schedule a workshop where they can discuss the issue as length before making a final decision.
They will also contact towing companies in the surrounding counties to see which companies might be interested in working at Alligator Point on weekends.
