Road closures and partial closures are scheduled in Palm Beach

Snowbirds arriving in Palm Beach for the social season are encountering plenty of roadwork of the sort that kept drivers on their guard during the summer months. With multiple projects under way in town, returning residents can expect daily traffic slowdowns as they make their way around the island. The work ranges from the town's efforts to bury all its cellular, internet and powerlines , to the Florida Department of Transportation's work along State Road A1A . Those two projects come on top of the weekend closures of South Ocean Boulevard between Southern Boulevard and South County Road when President Donald Trump returns to his Mar-a-Lago Clubo , as he has done for the past few weeks. According to recent FAA notices, Trump is expected to return as early as Friday, Nov. 13. To keep residents informed, Town Hall staff regularly updates Palm Beach's website, TownofPalmBeach.com , with the latest information on what closures drivers can expect each week. Here's the latest rundown on what to expect on the roads. Bahama Lane between North Lake Way and North Ocean Boulevard is closed this week to all but local traffic.

Developer tells Wellington HOA to work with us ... or else | Exclusive

(This story has been updated to include additional information. ) GL Homes will build a luxury development of nearly 300 homes on the long-shuttered Polo West Golf Course in Wellington, with or without the cooperation of the Polo West Estates HOA. And the homebuilder needs to know by Nov. 24 whether the HOA will work with it in exchange for main entrance upgrades, including a new guardhouse. Otherwise, GL Homes will develop plans that will not be nearly as beneficial to the community. That was the main takeaway from a Zoom presentation the homebuilder aired for Polo West residents on Wednesday, Nov. 11. Residents were able to ask questions but the microphones of listeners were muted. The Palm Beach Post was able to view the discussion because it was provided a link to the presentation by an interested party. GL Homes has created a website to provide information on its Polo West project, https://polowestdevelopmentfacts.com/ The Zoom presentation has been posted to the website. During the presentation Wednesday, GL Homes executive Larry Portnoy explained the company was taking advantage of a new state law that makes it easier for developers to build on shuttered golf courses.

Woman Sues Apple For $350 Million Over Wellington Store Discrimination Claim

WELLINGTON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — A Palm Beach County woman is suing Apple for $350 million. She claims staff at the Apple Store in The Mall at Wellington Green treated her like a thief because she is Black, then took her iPhone apart and handed it back broken. Curtashia Oliver, who is representing herself, says she went to the store with her husband on Sept. 25 for a confirmed appointment. She had forgotten the passcode to her iPhone 14 Plus and just wanted it erased. According to the complaint, the employee helping her told a coworker, “She’s Black, she probably stole it, I don’t know if I should help her erase it.” Oliver says she heard it. The suit also claims staff joked about her older phone and kept asking whether it was really hers. Oliver alleges employees took the phone to a back room and kept her at the store for hours past closing. When it came back, the suit says, it had been completely disassembled, its internal retention screws were removed, and it looked like it had been dropped. The phone now won’t get past recovery mode, cutting her off from her photos,

Palm Beach County to open North County Airport land to new bids

The Palm Beach County Commission has decided not to enter into exclusive negotiations with Palm Beach billionaire Jeff Greene for the sale and use of land at the North County General Aviation Airport , instead choosing to open the project to other prospective bidders. The developer wants the property to upgrade facilities at North County Airport, including the addition of hangars and a terminal housing an executive lounge and private meeting rooms. He told the Palm Beach Daily News that he was inspired to pitch the proposal when he couldn't find room to store his Gulfstream jet at President Donald J. Trump International Airport — and then learned that North County Airport's runway is too short to accommodate his plane. "I've had a plane for 25 years," he said. "I understand the world of private aviation very, very well." During a meeting on Oct. 20, county commissioners said they were open to consider a proposal from Greene to buy 131 acres of undeveloped wetlands just north of the airport and to lease land on the airport's property. But they said they could not approve formal negotiations until others had been given an opportunity to submit bids. North County Airport, built

New private club gets green flag for Palm Beach shopping plaza

A plan to bring new life to a decades-old shopping center in Worth Avenue's ocean block has received its first set of Town Hall approvals, paving the way for a new Palm Beach outpost from private-club magnate Robin Birley. The club at The Esplanade, 150 Worth Ave., would start with 300 memberships under the plans the Town Council approved Tuesday, Nov. 10. The council also granted permission for a new restaurant, a bakery, an expansive health spa and a jewelry store. "Robin and his father before him have owned and operated private, members-only clubs now for well over 60 years, so this is not a novice operation," Andrew West, director of Robin Birley Holdings, told the council. "We well understand that this is to be a town-serving club." The project to reimagine the aging structure that spans nearly the entire length of the iconic shopping street's 100 block would revitalize the former Saks Fifth Avenue big-box space. That two-story retailer shut its doors in Palm Beach in April 2025, and the building has since remained empty. The rest of the shopping plaza would see a range of updates and new architectural features designed by Fairfax, Sammons & Partners of Palm

Florida Issued Four Stop-Sale Orders After 11.67 Inches of Rain Hit West Palm Beach. They Won’t Cover the Water Already in Your Tank

Florida agriculture inspectors had issued four stop-sale orders and visited 125 fuel facilities in seven counties by Nov. 5, after 11.67 inches of rain fell on West Palm Beach on Nov. 1-2, according to CBS12's reporting on figures from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. A stop-sale order shuts off a pump. It does nothing for the driver who filled up there the day before and is now holding a repair estimate, and water in gasoline is a hard thing to get anyone to pay for once it is in your tank.
