D. Presentation - Rapid Flashing Beacon Potential Placement - Beach Dr near Sandpiper

April 20, 2026, Regular City Council Meeting · 2026-04-20 · agenda_item

The City of Destin is planning to install two new rapid flashing beacon pedestrian crossings. One crossing will be located on Beach Drive near Sandpiper Circle, close to a school property. The second crossing will be at 101 Matthew Boulevard, near Village Baptist Church. These installations are part of the city's ongoing efforts to improve pedestrian safety. The project is currently planned and funded through the Public Works and Public Safety Committee's discretionary funds. Work is expected to involve site preparation for the beacons, installation of the flashing light systems, and potentially some minor pavement markings or signage updates. Local contractors, electricians, and suppliers of traffic control equipment could find opportunities as the project moves forward. Early engagement may be beneficial before final plans and permits are issued.
