Sales Tax Projects Palm Beach County

Comment Up

Palm Beach County Sales Tax Projects in effect.

Many people have been asking about the 6th Avenue South Bridge as well as the construction that has taken place over the last several months. The uprooting and bulldozing of trees has been mentioned on John Prince Park Preservation Facebook page per the County's explanation.

One of the projects is the 6th Avenue South Bridge over Lake Osborne where they are replacing the bridge that was built in 1970 to meet current FDOT design standards that they say will improve traffic safety, deck/lane geometry, parapets, and enhance pedestrian sidewalk safety. Bridge is weight restricted and experiences heavy ADT (average daily traffic.

This is costing $6,000,000.00.

It is extremely difficult to believe that they are spending 6 million to repair this little bridge. Atlanta Braves must be on their minds. If so, that is really sick. Our traffic right now is horrible.

This confirms to me that catering to the Braves is behind this. Even makes me more determined to vote down the tax increase. Really, you think you can tax us for 10-20 years to benefit your billionaire buddies? Pretty disgusting!!
