Free Live Performances and Fresh Weekend Events On Tap
Palm Beach Gardens, FL · August 7, 2026
Sipping coffee while watching the morning traffic tick along Burns Road is a fine way to ease into Friday. Plenty of music, art, and outdoor excursions are queued up for the next forty-eight hours.
The Lead
Contractors are finalizing paving segments along Burns Road this week as part of the city’s broader effort to install a new multi-use cycle track. Designed to separate bicycles and pedestrians from vehicular traffic between North Military Trail and RCA Boulevard, the project addresses long-standing safety requests from surrounding neighborhoods and recreational commuters. Preliminary resurfacing has cleared the way for specialized green lane striping and physical barrier installations scheduled in coming phases. Traffic shifts will remain periodic through the morning rush, but city engineers expect main travel lanes to stay open during peak hours. Once fully installed, the protected track will seamlessly link residential communities directly to the Burns Road Community Center and nearby athletic facilities.
