Final Water Safety Storytime Session Takes Place Today

Palm Beach Gardens, FL · August 4, 2026

Happy Tuesday — keep an eye out for overnight lane shifts along Burns Road after dusk.

The Lead

The City Council is preparing for its upcoming Thursday evening meeting, where members will take up Resolution 25, 2026, formally opposing a county-initiated comprehensive plan amendment for Northlake Boulevard West. As residential expansion continues across western tracts near Avenir, municipal officials are taking a firm stance to safeguard local traffic flow and retain city oversight over commercial development along the thoroughfare. In addition to the regional roadway resolution, the agenda includes first-reading public hearings on text amendments to the city’s land development regulations. Council members will gather at City Hall to review staff recommendations and hear public comments prior to official votes.
