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.

Florida residents trapped by gators and snakes in floodwaters: ‘It’s like an apocalyptic-type event’

Floridians experienced an ‘apocalyptic-type event’ caused by heavy rains that left high floodwaters Getty Residents of a Florida community have been trapped in their homes for days by a historic rainstorm that left floodwaters high enough for fish, venomous snakes and alligators to swim right up to homes. Floridians in West Palm Beach’s Riverwalk community have been trapped in their homes, surrounded by nearly 10 inches of floodwater, after what was described as a one-in-1,000-year rain event dumped heavy showers across the region earlier this week. “It’s like an apocalyptic-type event,” resident Don Gentile told WPTV. Some parts of Palm Beach County were left with two to three feet of floodwater earlier this week after days of heavy rain. Roads were closed, and several polling locations were forced to relocate on Election Day Tuesday due to the flooding, according to 12 News. Other residents of the Riverwalk community said the flooding was unlike anything they’d ever seen before, as every street in the gated community had significant levels of flooding.

Palm Beach County voters OK tax cut and millions for parks, libraries

Palm Beach County voters supported a measure Nov. 3 that will slash property taxes while overwhelmingly approving tax increases to fund more than $400 million in l ibrary and park improvements. Amendment 3, the statewide referendum that significantly increases the homestead property tax exemption, passed in Palm Beach County by 20 percentage points. At the same time, county voters approved a $285 million parks bond and a $175 million library bond by nearly 2-to-1 margins. "It is great that voters recognized the need for improvements to our parks and libraries," said County Commissioner Maria Marino. "But now we have to figure out how to keep these buildings open once they are built." John Chrastka, executive director of Chicago-based EveryLibrary, a nonprofit that helped the county library system design a campaign, said the juxtaposition of dual approvals for a property tax cut and a bond is not the contradiction it appears to be. More: Palm Beach County voters could approve $150 million for a new main library “People value what libraries offer and were willing to approve the county bond even though many also voted for Amendment 3,” Chrastka said, noting Amendment 3 passed because of overall distrust of government. “The

Palm Beach board rejects zoning requests for Wells Fargo redevelopment

A plan to redevelop a portion of a key Midtown Palm Beach property has faced pushback from the Town Council at a recent meeting and from residents wary of the potential for overdevelopment in an already-busy area. And a recent recommended denial from the town's zoning board has prompted the developer to regroup. The project proposed building seven residential duplexes on what is now an expansive parking lot that is part of the Wells Fargo site on the northeast corner of South County Road and Royal Palm Way. Most of the development would be limited to the parking lot, which sits behind the block-long stretch of mostly landmarked buildings along the east side of South County Road, stretching from Royal Palm Way to Seaview Avenue. Palm Beach resident John Kean and his Kean Development Co. presented the plans to the Planning and Zoning Commission Nov. 3. The proposal called for the town to change the "future land use" regulations and zoning for roughly half of the 5.76-acre property. The project would be named "The East Plaza," the original moniker for the property when it was first planned in 1936, town records show. Zoning commissioners declined to endorse those changes to
