The only real solution to the traffic is to increase the funding of public transportation. I moved to the Destin area in 1982 and the traffic has progressively gotten worse. I am sure that it will continue to do so, and adding more roads cannot be the answer when land space is so limited. Some sort of trolley or park and ride system would be the best solution. I bridge of the size mentioned is just crazy talk and would get demolished anytime a hurricane went by.
