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.
