The Wheel Ditch, Lower Matecumbe:

19 Aug 2025 11:42 AM | Anonymous

Starck’s Wheel Ditch is a high-traffic channel adjacent to Lower Matecumbe Key, averaging less than 100 feet in width, and the location of many boating accidents over the years.

On June 10, the Council passed a resolution, to hire WSP, an engineering firm that does work for the Village, to provide professional services to assist in obtaining permits for a new slow speed/minimum wake zone.

Barely a month after the Council decision, another accident occurred in the Wheel Ditch.  It could take a year until the changes approved by Council are made, and signs are up. Extreme caution is needed when going through this narrow passage through the mangroves. Act responsibly, be patient, be safe.
