I wonder what the park specialists/rangers at Topsail Hill Preserve State Park think about this plan? They know the land so well...
One is now the Director of Administration at the TDC...
Does SoWal site get any funds from the TDC?
Fair question. Please don't delete post.

Interesting. I still hear talk about this, but nothing to suggest that it will fly. Just the desire to have it happen. Around here, though, who knows?

It's my understanding from a Cypress Dunes resident that the beach walkover into Topsail is approved by the state and construction will start within a month. Can anyone corroborate this? Or is it just wishful thinking on the part of the resident?
This subject will be back soon, unfortunately for the residents of Cypress Dunes there is no way around the public process. Despite their attempts to work in the shadows to make it happen. The unit management plan for Topsail is due to be updated this year and that's how they would have to get it "approved." However there is a public comment period in that process. So I encourage everyone to be aware and attend the meeting and/or give input to park planning when it comes back up. When it happens details will be posted on this site among other places.

So I see this issue is old. Is it still a thing? I have been coming to 30A for 24 years and I am looking to buy in this neighborhood. I have an annual Florida State Park pass. I can see by the map that the bike trails run right by the neighborhood and straight to the beach. Is it a problem to use the existing bike paths from the neighborhood to the beach?

But do people do otherwise around there? I doubt anyone would admit to it. And annual passholders still have to use the main gate at parks.
