Replacement of hurricane-ravaged boardwalk begins in this Florida city
Despite last week's torrential rain and flooding, work on the new Humiston Beach Park boardwalk began as scheduled without issue, city officials said. The 50-year-old boardwalk was destroyed in 2022 by Hurricane Nicole. The boardwalk was deemed unsafe and subsequently demolished. City officials have spent months planning to rebuild it. For most of November, people around the area likely will hear noise as concrete pilings are put in place, said Vero Beach Public Works Director Matthew Mitts. "They're going to start picking up these big concrete pilings with cranes and driving them into the ground," Mitts said. Once the pilings are in place, the actual boardwalk will be constructed on top of the pilings, Mitts said. Like its predecessor, the new boardwalk will to have a concrete deck, he said. It will be the same height and about the same length, possibly a little shorter so city workers can drive on the north side of the park to access the beach, Mitts said. "Before, the boardwalk blocked us from driving onto the beach," he said. The new boardwalk will remain roughly the length of Humiston Beach Park, he said.

Residents ordered from flood-damaged Windover Palms units in Melbourne
Nearly 110 residents at Windover Palms Apartment complex in Melbourne were ordered evacuated by management Thursday, Nov. 12, as conditions in flooded-damaged units continue to worsen nearly two weeks after historic floods hit Brevard . The residents were sent notices this week about the emergency evacuation. Cleaning crews in bio-hazard suits were seen going into the apartments late Thursday as a six-month clean-up and renovation gets underway, city officials said. The waters from Nov. 1 receded but left behind health-threatening damages, officials said. “Some of the apartments, you can’t even breathe in,” Melbourne Mayor Paul Alrey told FLORIDA TODAY. “Residents are being refunded their last month’s rents but many are displaced. Some who were on Section 8 were given vouchers but that doesn’t mean much until they can get keys in hand." Florida’s State Emergency Response Team, the agency tasked with coordinating disaster responses, was on site passing out flyers to Windover residents. Alfrey said the city is working with the American Red Cross to find shelter for the residents. The apartment complex’s management did not immediately respond to FLORIDA TODAY’s inquiries. J.D.
