SUMMARY: The proposed Beauvoir Villas subdivision in Biloxi has residents divided. Originally planned with 250 lots, the plan was reduced to 213, but concerns remain. Key issues include traffic congestion on Iris and Lawrence Streets, which locals feel are inadequate for increased vehicles. Some oppose the high density and small yards, likening it to the crowded Coral Breeze neighborhood. Others support the development, noting the area once housed an elementary school, with existing infrastructure like roads, utilities, and drainage. The zoning change was postponed again, with councilwoman Dixie Newman wanting new officials involved. The issue returns to the council in July.

A proposed neighborhood has people split in Biloxi, with residents toeing the line, trying to determine if they think the plans are helpful.
