Ocean Springs East Beach project sparks controversy
SUMMARY: Ocean Springs, MS is considering a proposed project to build a 5,730 ft by 10 ft concrete sidewalk on East Beach. The Mississippi Department of Marine Resources (DMR) is reviewing the proposal after a public hearing was held. Residents voiced concerns, citing lack of studies on traffic and pedestrian safety, potential maintenance issues, and environmental impact. Attorney Jim Reeves argued that the city hasn’t proven the sidewalk’s necessity. The project, planned for over 15 years, previously received substantial funding and faced a lawsuit. Supporters believe it enhances public safety by keeping pedestrians off the road. Comments will be reviewed by the DMR before a decision is made.

15-minute parking spots added in downtown Gulfport to ease congestion during renovations
SUMMARY: In Gulfport, eight temporary 15-minute parking spots are being added near the Hancock Whitney Bank to reduce congestion during upcoming renovations. The bank building, located across Highway 49, is set to be renovated, though no official start date has been determined. City leaders hope these short-term parking spots will ease traffic by accommodating customers using the bank’s drive-thru, where parking is currently limited, especially at peak times. These spots will remain in place until the renovation work is finished, improving access for customers to enter and exit quickly while construction occurs in downtown Gulfport.
