Palm Beach roads won't have 'share-the-road' markings after pushback
The Florida Department of Transportation will not include share-the-road pavement marking in its project on State Road A1A in Palm Beach's Midtown, after the roadway symbol prompted pushback from town officials and residents. The state agency won't use the pavement markings known as "sharrows," and no additional signs will be erected beyond those there now, FDOT's project manager confirmed in a letter to the town dated Oct. 9. A sharrow is a painted marking that shows a bicycle with two arrows. It is used to indicate that the travel lane is meant to be shared between vehicles and bicycles in places where there are not dedicated bike lanes. But encouraging bicyclists to share the lane on narrow and busy South County Road is dangerous, council members previously said. They pointed to the prevalence of pelotons, groups of bicyclists that ride side-by-side on the two-lane road and can back up traffic. The news that FDOT has eliminated the sharrow markings comes as the project approaches its December finish line. Construction started in May 2025. FDOT guidelines consider it a "best practice" for transportation planners to include sharrows in projects where the road is too narrow for a bike lane as a

Boca Raton Federal Highway Lane Closures Begin, Set to Last 10 Weeks
BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — Plan for a slower drive on Federal Highway. Lane closures tied to the Florida Department of Transportation’s US 1 project started Monday, Oct. 19, and are expected to stay in place for roughly 10 weeks. Between SE 5th Street/SE Mizner Boulevard and NE 8th Street/Mizner Boulevard, traffic drops to one lane in both directions from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. while crews work in the median. Farther south, between Camino Real and SE 5th Street, single-lane closures are allowed in either direction with no time restrictions. Two-lane closures are permitted on that stretch during non-peak hours on non-event days, nights and weekends — northbound from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 a.m., and southbound from 7:30 p.m. to 12:30 p.m. FDOT says access to businesses and homes will be maintained at all times, and the speed limit stays at 35 mph. The work is part of the State Road 5/US 1 Lane Repurposing and Resurfacing Project, which runs from Camino Real to NE 8th Street/Mizner Boulevard and is scheduled to wrap up in fall 2027. From Camino Real to SE Mizner Boulevard, the 11-foot outside

Fuel-pump reopening delayed at under-renovation Palm Beach gas station
Palm Beach motorists will have to wait a little while longer to fill up their fuel tanks on the island, as the project to revamp the town's sole gas station is taking longer than originally planned to complete. Fuel pumps at the gas station at 340 S. County Road will open at the earliest sometime in November, with the station's vehicle service shop and convenience store expected to be ready for business after the New Year, owner Alex Griswold said. The service shop is tentatively set to open in January and the store in February, he said. The pumps were originally expected to be in service this month, with the other facilities open by the end of the year. Giswold said construction delays affected the schedule. When fuel services reopen, the renamed Palm Petrol will again resume its status as one of the only gas stations in Florida to offer full-service pumping. Known for years as Gray's Sunoco, the gas station closed its doors June 28 for a renovation project that when completed will give the station a look that will nod at its 1950s-era roots. As of Oct. 12, much of the gas station's exterior and interior had been
