DELRAY MAY LIMIT SMOKERS ON BEACH TO TWO 30-BY-30-FOOT SQUARES
Smokers on the city's beach would be confined to two
30-foot-by-30-foot areas about a third of a mile apart if the
City Commission accepts a recommendation by the Ocean Rescue
department Tuesday.
Each smoking area, roughly the footprint of a small house, would
be roped off and have one receptacle for cigarette butts within
its boundaries, Ocean Rescue suggests. Daily patrolling of the
beach is recommended.
The suggestions are the first to be made since Mayor Jeff
Perlman introduced the concept of limiting smoking on the beach
in September. Delray Beach will become one of the first cities
in Florida to regulate smoking on its beaches once it starts
enforcing restrictions.
