The City of Cedar Key received funding from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to commission a study of possible improvements to G Street that could mitigate erosion and improve the beach. The study was completed in June 2007 but none of the proposed plans were enacted due to lack of community buy-in.

G Street Design Workshop
The University of Florida project team presents four draft designs to a group of 19 stakeholders, including 10 landowners. After discussion and refinement of the draft designs, stakeholders reached a decision to pursue a combination of the first two project designs, with the addition of a kayak access point and subject to final approval by landowners upon permit application.
The project team begin to seek external funding and permits for the project. Stakeholders will continue to be involved going forward, as community and landowner buy-in are essential to project success.
