MADEIRA BEACH, Fla. – Madeira Beach Mayor Anne-Marie Brooks said the residents of the city will decide what will be done with 4.6 acres of land on Boca Ciega Bay at the foot of the bridge leading to the city.
The mayor said some citizens expressed concern that if a hotel or large condo tower were built there that it would create traffic congestion. Brooks said many people have told her that they would like to see a park or other kind of common area. Some said they would like to see boat slips on the property.
Currently, large pipes for dredging John’s Pass are being stored on the parcel.
