Tiny (but not so tiny) Victories!


Thanks to you, we were able to achieve
the following in 2025
:

✅ BRT FESTIVAL MOVED - We stopped the BRT Weekend Festival from happening on our beach! It was moved way down the boardwalk to a better spot.


✅ BEACH BAR EXPANSION HALTED
- We helped stop the Beach Bar expansion which included a swimming pool on the beach


✅ CITY COUNCIL SUPPORT
- We got the support of four city council members who continue to represent us! By the way…. We 🧡 Councilman Tibbitt, Councilman Kurtz, and Councilwoman Lacca. They’ve been working tirelessly to support us. Send them a Thank You Note.


✅ CELEBRITY CORNER TRASH CONTAINED
- Celebrity Corner and the Beach Bar have publicly stated they will no longer overstuff trash. This remains to be seen (it just happened), but we’re considering it a Victory.


✅ MAYOR SMALL SAID HE PLANS TO MOVE THE BEACH BAR
- We know it hasn’t happened yet, but he said this at a meeting at the Ocean Club. He said it out loud. He pretty much said it’s in the wrong place, and he’s going to try to re-locate it. It’s in the press. So, we kinda consider this a Victory because we have hope.

If our area was designated as part of the Gateway District, we wouldn’t have had to fight for any of this. It would have been included in our zoning.
