Plan to build linear park along Allapattah railroad tracks gets funding boost

A plan to turn an abandoned rail line into a linear park in Allapattah has received funding to seek community input and conduct a feasibility study. Why it matters: The idea is to connect longtime residents in Little Santo Domingo with the neighborhood's newer arts district amid long-standing concerns about gentrification. It comes after Miami leaders approved a Community Redevelopment Agency to boost development and investment in the neighborhood, according to reports. Driving the news: The Allapattah Collaborative CDC, the nonprofit leading the project, received $200,000 from the Knight Foundation to kick-start the planning. The ACDC, which advocates for economic progress that does not displace locals, is modeling the project after The Underline . Zoom in: The plan is to build a 2-mile linear park on the long-abandoned railroad tracks that cut through the neighborhood, ACDC CEO Mileyka Burgos-Flores tells Axios. The project would create a free gathering space for locals with pedestrian and bicycle access, arts space and local vendors. What they're saying: Burgos-Flores says there is a "very big disconnect" between the people moving to Allapattah and the longtime residents. "We want to deepen that sensibility," she said. "We are here, welcome to our community. We don't need

Snowbirds arriving in Palm Beach for the social season are encountering plenty of roadwork of the sort that kept drivers on their guard during the summer months.

The work ranges from the town's efforts to bury all its cellular, internet and powerlines , to the Florida Department of Transportation's work along State Road A1A . Those two projects come on top of the weekend closures of South Ocean Boulevard between Southern Boulevard and South County Road when President Donald Trump returns to his Mar-a-Lago Clubo , as he has done for the past few weeks. According to recent FAA notices, Trump is expected to return as early as Friday, Nov. 13.

School Bus Stop-Arm Cameras Launch Across Palm Beach County, $225 Fines Coming

BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — The School District of Palm Beach County and the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, in partnership with BusPatrol, have launched the Palm Beach County School Bus Passing Safety Program to curb reckless driving around stopped school buses and safeguard students traveling to and from school. About 750 buses in the district’s fleet now carry stop-arm cameras, allowed under a 2023 Florida law authorizing school bus infraction detection systems. The cameras switch on automatically whenever a bus flashes its red stop signals, recording video and photos of any vehicle that doesn’t stop. A Sheriff’s Office deputy reviews every flagged event. If the deputy confirms a violation, a Notice of Violation goes in the mail to the vehicle’s registered owner. Drivers get a grace period first. Starting Nov. 16, 2026, motorists caught illegally passing a stopped bus will receive an educational warning by mail, with no fine. Full enforcement begins Jan. 5, 2027, when confirmed violations carry a $225 civil penalty. Because it’s a civil penalty, no points go on the driver’s license. The numbers behind the program are stark. The National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation Services estimates

Boca Raton Breaks Ground on Jeffery Street Railroad Crossing Near Clint Moore

BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — The City of Boca Raton has broken ground on the Jeffery Street Railroad-Highway Grade Crossing, a new public crossing just east of NW 2nd Avenue, where Clint Moore ends. It will replace the former NW 28th Street crossing. City officials call it an important east-west connection for northeast Boca Raton, one that will reconnect neighborhoods across the rail corridor and make it easier for residents, visitors and businesses to get around. The city says police, fire rescue and other first responders will gain improved emergency response capabilities, while drivers should see better traffic circulation and a more efficient local transportation network. The crossing is also expected to support economic activity and future investment in the area, and it will provide convenient access to North Park, which is still under construction. A $2 million Congressional Community Project Funding award will help pay for the work, which the city is coordinating with Florida East Coast Railway, LLC, and the Florida Department of Transportation.
