For right now George we are not going anywhere!! Our future may be unknown but be assured that we will continue to serve delicious New York style pizza and a full menu of Italian food until we are replace by a “round about”. All of us at Joeys II truly appreciate your support and the support of other Joey’s On The Beach II customers that make it possible for us to open our doors everyday ready to serve you.

I can’t tell from the drawing, but it looks as if there is only one lane going East. If so, a left turn onto Hwy. 79 will be very tough and will block all Eastbound traffic waiting on the one car to make a left turn. The new plan will not be as efficient as the current plan unless there is a left turn lane.

I am still amazed how Panama City Beach will fix or upgrade an area but totally ignore the fact that we have city streets where locals live that are being ignored. We still have unpaved dirt road all over the Thomas Drive side of the beach. When are we going to see some of this money the Government is spending. You want to make an area look good, then help the locals they are the ones spending the most money in our area and increase our property value!

Roundabout, of course! Presentation is everything! If it’s beautiful, folks will love it!

I love a roundabout–they work great in Europe–no stopping–traffic is always in motion–when in the roundabout, you have the right-of-way.

Government waste. Widen the road and leave the intersection as is.

I can’t muster up any nostalgia for poor traffic patterns. Front Beach Road should be made more pedestrian friendly, and the main approaches to the beach need to be made attractive and welcoming. The Y is none of these things. It’s just an intersection, not an amusement park.

I can’t see a traffic circle (politically incorrect jargon for “roundabout”) stuck in the middle Hwy 98. However, since the Y is a vestige of the old PCB, it clearly must be removed.

Who says that roundabouts are dangerous for pedestrians anyway?
Here’s a survey that claims the opposite.

I like the idea of the roundabout. We could use it for advertising PCB in Great Britain. I would suggest putting park benches in the middle for our British visitors. I understand they get great amusement out of watching Americans navigate a roundabout.
