Last Stand expresses strong support for preserving public access to open water, specifically at Bay Drive Waterfront Park in Tavernier/Key Largo. We oppose proposed changes to Monroe County’s Code (Sec. 19-1) that could privatize public rights-of-way leading to open water, citing the negative impact on public access. Last Stand applauds the County's efforts in managing Bay Drive Park but urges the Commissioners to explore alternative solutions to manage waterfront areas without reducing access.
