The December 10, 2024, Commission Meeting for the City of Lynn Haven, Florida, addressed several community concerns, particularly focusing on safety issues related to King Griffith Park and surrounding areas.

The meeting began with a resident's appeal regarding safety measures near King Griffith Park. The resident highlighted the absence of a speed indicator that was present before Hurricane Andrew, expressing concern over increased speeding on 17th Street. The resident emphasized the need for enhanced safety measures, particularly for children, suggesting the installation of guardrails along the sidewalk adjacent to the road. This recommendation was made in light of similar safety improvements previously implemented at the intersection of 17th and Minnesota.

Additionally, the resident raised questions about the speed limit signs on Highway 77, which indicate a 25 miles per hour limit in what appears to be a work zone. The resident questioned the necessity of these signs, suggesting they may be excessive and requesting clarification on whether the Department of Transportation (DOT) could address this issue.

The discussions highlighted the community's ongoing concerns about traffic safety and the need for effective measures to protect residents, particularly children, in the vicinity of King Griffith Park. The Commission acknowledged these concerns and indicated that they would follow up on the suggestions made during the meeting.
