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.

King tides, rain are flooding South Florida. What are we doing about it?

Historic, chart-topping king tides submerged South Florida last week, flooding more places deeper and longer than they’d ever seen before. This week, double-digit rainfall filled in the blanks, swamping inland and coastal areas. South Florida is soggy, and all the science says its only going to get worse. That’s bad news for anyone who lives in, works in, owns property in, visits or even passes through South Florida. So, millions of people. But In response, local governments have poured hundreds of millions into solutions over the last few years. Keeping dry for the next decade alone would take billions more — if not tens of billions. They’re elevating roads, buffing up stormwater pumps and replacing drainage pipes with new ones so big an NBA player could walk upright in them. They’re converting golf courses into part-time flood parks to soak up neighborhood drainage. They’re raising seawalls. And the projects appear to be working. Tiffany Troxler, director of science at Florida International University’s Sea Level Solutions Center, said she’s seen projects in Miami neighborhoods that have drastically cut down on flooding. “That’s a really positive sign. We need more of that,” she said. “Without more adaptation projects, we’ll continue to see
