Franklin County has decided not to allow golf cart usage on the fishing piers in Eastpoint and on St. George Island.
The action was taken after a request from a resident who requested an American with Disabilities Act accommodation to use his golf cart on the Eastpoint Fishing Pier.
Both piers are handicapped accessible and allow for electric and manual wheelchairs.
County commissioners, however, felt that golf carts would cause problems because of the number of pedestrians who use the piers and because it would be very difficult to enforce whether people using the carts were doing so legally.
Commissioners felt the golf carts would cause a safety hazard on the piers, and voted unanimously to deny them.
