This evening I joined the online meeting sponsored by FDOT.

Proposed Improvements:
  • Adding a lane at the north and southbound off ramps
  • Adding a merge lane and adding a right turn lane at the southbound on-ramp.
  • Widening roadway pavement along 6th Avenue South to provide 7-foot buffered bicycle lanes
  • Adding a lane on westbound 6th Avenue south from Michigan Avenue to the I-95 Interchange
  • Signalization and pavement making upgrades
  • Street lighting upgrades
  • Replacement of railroad tracks, railroad gates, and overhead sign structure
The construction start date is spring 2023.
Estimated Construction end time is Winter 2025
Construction cost estimate if $9.3 million

Mayor Betty Resch and Commissioner Sarah Malega were on the virtual public meeting along with Reinaldo Diaz whose mike was muted. I might have missed others from Lake Worth.

I rarely take that route, due to the length of time you can sit there waiting for trains, coming north and south simultaneously. Any improvement in the signage, lighting, and the tracks themselves, will be a welcome improvement.

Sometimes they upgrade things, and they are worse than they were before they started. Hopefully, they will have a good engineer/architect.
