South End drivers get relief as A1A work ends in Palm Beach

South End residents have one fewer road construction project to navigate this season in Palm Beach. The Florida Department of Transportation has completed its project along two miles of State Road A1A between Lake Avenue and Ibis Way. The road through that area is South Ocean Boulevard, and also known as Jimmy Buffett Memorial Highway. Along with fresh pavement, the roadway has new designated bike lanes and a new traffic signal for pedestrians crossing at the Par 3 Golf Course. Most of the construction was completed in the late summer as scheduled, and all final inspections and utilities coordination were wrapped up by Sept. 25, a project spokesperson said. "New pavement, a striped bike lane and a wider concrete pathway on the west side of the roadway are improvements for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians," they said. Construction on the $5.9 million project began May 3, 2025. South End residents endured months of lane closures during the work. Another FDOT project remains underway on A1A and includes sections of South County Road and South Ocean Boulevard between Royal Palm Way and Emerald Beach Way, just south of President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club. The Stout Group, the contractor on the South End

Helicopters fly near Mar-a-Lago as part of Nov. 3 training drill

Residents who live near President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach could see and hear helicopters flying above the private club and in the immediate area Tuesday, Nov. 3. An alert about the drill was issued the same day at 9 a.m. by Palm Beach Town Hall. The flights were part of training exercises being conducted by the U.S. Department of Energy in coordination with federal "law enforcement partners," the alert said. "During the training, residents may observe helicopters conducting multiple low-level passes in the vicinity of the property," the alert said. "The activity is part of a planned law enforcement training operation, and there is no cause for concern." The alert did not include a timeframe for the exercises to begin and end, and it made no mention of any planned road closures associated with the training exercise. Several people who live in the area contacted by the Daily News said they had not noticed any helicopters overtheir neighborhood by noon. But by mid-afternoon, at least two helicopters were seen flying back and forth aroundthe Estate Section neighborhood immediately north of Mar-a-Lago. The alert did not say if the training was related to the recent installation of a

Florida's dry season opens under water

Parts of Palm Bay, Malabar and Grant-Valkaria experienced rainfall exceeding the threshold for a 1-in-1,000-year event.

Florida voting touchscreen glitch does not prove midterms fraud

Certain jurisdictions reported small-scale voting touchscreen sensitivity issues during the early voting period for crucial US midterm elections, with some social media users claiming devices in Florida's Palm Beach County fraudulently switched votes from Democratic to Republican candidates. But county officials said calibration issues are not a sign of widespread fraud, advised voters to use a screen stylus for selection precision, and said traditional paper ballots are available.

Palm Beach County schools seek hiring ban against 2 former staffers

The Palm Beach County School Board voted to ask the state ban two more former employees after they were convicted of or pleaded guilty to committing crimes against children. It was at least the fourth time in the past two months the board took such an action. In September, the board voted to have a former teacher and a former band assistant put on the state's list of people who are barred from working at a public school after both men pleaded guilty to crimes against children in separate cases. On Oct. 14, board members voted to recommend bans for Christopher Withers, a former math teacher at Duncan Middle School in Palm Beach Gardens, and for Ruben Tirado, a part-time assistant football coach at Seminole Ridge High in Loxahatchee. Sean Cooley, chief of communications for the Palm Beach County School District, said the actions of the two men "should not overshadow the daily work of a team made up of 12,000 educators and 10,000 staff members, whose dedication has helped make the district an “A” rated school district and the most trusted educational choice for families throughout our community." Withers, 33, was arrested in March 2025 and charged with 15

Palm Beach County Health Officials Warn Residents To Avoid Dangerous Floodwaters

BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — The Florida Department of Health in Palm Beach County (DOH-Palm Beach) is warning residents as flood waters become an issue in the area due to excessive rain. DOH issued this advisory mid-day Monday: Don’t Drive in Flooded Areas Floodwater can pose a drowning risk for everyone — regardless of how well they swim. Swiftly moving shallow water can be deadly, and even shallow standing water can be dangerous for small children. Always follow warnings about flooded roads. Don’t drive in flooded areas — cars or other vehicles won’t protect you from floodwaters. Vehicles can be swept away or might stall in moving water. Floodwaters Can Be Contaminated Avoid skin contact with floodwaters especially if you have open cuts and wounds. Waters can contain harmful bacteria and viruses. Do not wade through standing water. If you do, wash thoroughly and put on clean clothes. If an open cut or wound comes into contact with floodwaters, wash the area well with soap and clean water to prevent infection. If the area develops redness, swelling, or drainage, seek immediate medical attention. If you are cut or have a puncture wound, and have

Palm Beach board pushes back on plan to revamp Midtown Beach walkway

A walkway that would look more appropriate in Disney World. That's how one member of the Palm Beach Architectural Commission described a proposal to drastically revamp the public sidewalk area along Midtown Beach during an Oct. 28 review. The project — known as Midtown Beach Linear Park — is being designed in tandem with a plan for a major replacement of Palm Beach's aging seawall on the same beach. Among their complaints about the walkway, commissioners questioned the project's impact on Midtown Municipal Beach's ocean vista, the materials used to pave the new walkways and the fear that it would overdevelop an area that is better suited for simplicity. Members of the commission also wondered why the project needed to be reviewed and approved soon. Most of the board said that the project should be reviewed once the Midtown seawall replacement project is closer to completion. Construction on that $20 million project could begin early next year. "Overall, this needs to be restudied to not be a park but to be a landscape buffer," said Commissioner Claudia Visconti, a professional landscape designer. The proposal as it was presented generally appeared incompatible with the town's aesthetic and lacked charm, commissioners agreed.

Republicans Aren’t Sweating the Polls. They Don’t Trust Them, Anyway.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — By all accounts, Tuesday’s Election Day is shaping up to be a bad night for Republicans. Poll after poll shows GOP candidates in trouble across the country, trailing Democrats in must-win races and struggling to stay ahead in districts that were firmly red in 2024. And while polls can be wrong — and have been before — this week’s elections could end up as a broad-based repudiation of the Republican Party.

She would soon learn a tumor had been growing in a lymph node under her arm, hidden beneath muscle where she could not feel it, even as she kept logging training miles toward one of the world's biggest races.
