I have lived in Palm Beach County for over 30 years. The intercoastal waterway should be enjoyed by all. Access to the ocean is limited to a few inlets in Palm Beach County. Without the West Palm club, how can we enjoy Peanut Island or access the inlet to enjoy the ocean? I enjoy fishing and boating in Palm Beach, but do not own my own boat. I do belong to a great boat club. I bring friends, relatives and neighbors to the downtown location you want to close. We often go out to lunch or dinner depending on the time of day and support our local economy. There should be a way to work together and come up with a viable solution that meets the needs of everyone.
Kevin supported: Keep JetRide in West Palm Beach – Protect Local Boating Access!My family have always wanted to go out on the ocean. I am disabled and my incomes low. But I wanted to give my wife and child their dream of a day at sea. We got to visit an island and fish with Jet aride. Their prices are awesome. Employees well trained and respectful. Places like this make it easy for people like me to be able to afford memories with my family. To lose them would be a loss for many people of the community. West palm should be ashamed of trying to do this.
Leeann supported: Keep JetRide in West Palm Beach – Protect Local Boating Access!Jetride was the main reason why I have a condo in downtown WPB. Please don’t make me move
Melvin supported: Keep JetRide in West Palm Beach – Protect Local Boating Access!Been a jetride member since 2019, with wpb as my primary dock location. I would rather have a member based, local friendly club at this dock than more 1-off tourist attractions, which is what I’m sure they’ll use the space for if they lose JetRide
Spencer supported: Keep JetRide in West Palm Beach – Protect Local Boating Access!It’s seems everywhere you look there’s a new residential building going up downtown, more and more people are moving to this city. It seems many city officials have forgotten one of the biggest selling points of living here in South East Florida. That’s the access to beautiful water, beaches and outdoor activities. We are fortunate enough to have JetRide navigate the first location in this growing city and now you want to take it away!
Miles supported: Keep JetRide in West Palm Beach – Protect Local Boating Access!I put my kayak in at the boat launch weekly in the summer. I enjoy paddling in Muskegon Lake. It’s beautiful to watch the swans and the sunset. Please don’t take this precious site away from our community. Marcy Miller, 1640 5th St., Muskegon 49441.
Marcy supported: Save Fisherman's Landing and CampgroundMy family visits Fisherman's Landing multiple times per year for family outings and vacations. Removing it would be devastating to us and many others who we know. We cannot let this beautiful place be demolished!

Fisherman’s Landing and Campground is a vital asset to the City of Muskegon, benefiting both residents and visitors alike. My family and friends love staying there because of its prime location near the bike trail, farmers market, local eateries, and shops.
Eliminating the campground and reducing parking for the boat launch by one-third would have a serious negative impact on local businesses. Additionally, the city hosts over 80 fishing tournaments each year—an important draw for tourism and the local economy—that require sufficient parking.
Preserving Fisherman’s Landing and Campground is essential for the community, local businesses, and the many visitors who enjoy Muskegon’s waterfront. Let’s work together to keep it open!
Michael supported: Save Fisherman's Landing and CampgroundI am very much opposed to this "land swap". Muskegon lake is a public body of water that should be preserved with QUALITY public access. It is irresponsible for the city to trade its public land already developed for recreation for a smaller parcel of land that is not desirable for recreation.
This trend of Muskegon prioritizing business development instead of protecting its resources needs to stop while there is something left of our public access. Allowing Adelaide Point to control and use up public access has taken away fishing opportunities for many. With that now gone and Heritage Landing closed half of the summer due to festivals, that leaves Fishermans Landing as the only public place left in Muskegon to fish from shore.
While I am not a resident of Muskegon, I do live nearby in Ravenna. I regularly come to Muskegon for fishing opportunities. While there, I spend my money at the local bait and tackle shops, restaurants and breweries, as well as do most of my regular shopping at the farmers market and other local shops around the city. Without these recreational opportunities, my family and I would opt to spend our time and money in other areas that prioritize its public access to water recreation and fishing. Please do right by your own constituents and business owners and protect a valuable resource that so many other cities and towns would be lucky to have.
Thank you
