New Restaurant on Lucerne

Rodney Mayo's latest restaurant, at 522 Lucerne Ave., will double as an art gallery celebrating Dadaism.

I admit, had to look up the word 'dadism

Dadaism, or Dada, was an avant-garde art movement that emerged during World War I in Zurich as a protest against the war's horrors, bourgeois societal values, and the logical, capitalist culture they believed led to the conflict. It is often defined as "anti-art" because it purposefully rejected traditional aesthetics and reason.

"SOME OF THE most groundbreaking artists of the 20th century are getting together for dinner and drinks in downtown Lake Worth Beach.

They’ll be hanging out at a new restaurant in the Lucerne Avenue space once occupied by The Cottage and C.W.S. Bar + Kitchen.

And these regulars want you to join them.

Man Ray, the latest addition to Rodney Mayo’s Subculture Group restaurant lineup, is coming together at the northeast corner of Lucerne and L Street. A July opening is planned, but an exact date has not been set."

Lake and Lucerne Avenues got upgrades

Downtown Lake Worth Beach's roads got upgrades

Costing $5.4 million

Excerpt from Chris Persuad's article at the Palm Beach Post: Lake and Lucerne avenues in downtown Lake Worth Beach, from Golfview Road to the roundabout at A Street, also have prominent bike lanes now — green in some areas — but with no physical barrier separating them from parked cars on the street to their right or regular traffic on their left.

The traffic lights at the Dixie Highway intersection at both avenues are now mounted on hurricane-strength traffic pole arms.

Miami-based General Asphalt Co. worked on the project, contracting with the Transportation Department, which owns and maintains both roads. Work started in February 2024 and ended last month, the department said.

The companies working on both of these projects also upgraded crosswalk pedestrian signal systems, replaced or added road signs, added sidewalk curb ramps where there were none to meet federal disability standards and repaired pipes and water mains underground, the Transportation Department said.

Road Re-surfacing on Lake and Lucerne to take about one year

$5.4 million resurfacing project set to roll across downtown's main avenues after Lake Worth Beach Street Painting Festival

LAKE AND LUCERNE avenues will be covered with colorful murals this Saturday and Sunday when more than 600 artists scrawl chalk masterpieces on asphalt at the annual Lake Worth Beach Street Painting Festival.

Two days later, the artists will be replaced by construction workers launching a $5.4 million road resurfacing project — a ‘street paving festival’ of sorts — that will cover a 2.3-mile stretch of the main downtown avenues with fresh layers of asphalt.

The work will last about a year and be done in phases, starting Feb. 27 with the construction of new sidewalks, curbs, lighting and guardrails on the north side of Lucerne Avenue at Golfview Road.

Crews will work their way west, redoing sidewalks, curbs and lighting on both avenues in sections, a process expected to take about six months. By the end of summer and early fall, the actual road resurfacing will begin.
