Town of Palm Beach Decided to be Reasonable

Mar-a-Lago, Secret Service reach deal to reopen road when Trump isn't in Palm Beach

A deal has been reached to reopen a busy road near former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach at times when Trump is not home.

Mar-a-Lago, the U.S. Secret Service and other law-enforcement agencies reached an agreement late last week to reopen South Ocean Boulevard next to Trump's property when the president is not in Palm Beach, Mar-a-Lago said in a news release ahead of an expected Monday morning meeting between the Secret Service and Palm Beach Town Manager Kirk Blouin.

The Secret Service ordered the road to be closed effective July 20 following the July 13 attempted assassination of Trump, the Republican nominee for president. South Ocean Boulevard has been closed around-the-clock, seven days a week, whether Trump is home or not since the closure. Officials previously had said it would remain closed through at least the Nov. 5 general election.

Trump "was very opposed" to closing South Ocean Boulevard, according to the news release. And the Town wanted to close the property down in spite of the fact Trump was nearly assassinated.
