Are you for the extension of State Road 7 from Okeechobee Blvd. to Northlake Blvd?
After many studies, including environmental effects along the area that the new road will be built on, the State of Florida and Palm Beach County have approved the construction of this new road.
Why is it that the City of West Palm Beach is using the residents’ money (over $900,000 to date), to fight the construction of this road, even though the great majority of the residents of West Palm Beach and Palm Beach County have agreed that this new road would be a major advantage for safety and traffic congestion, especially now that thousands of new homes have been approved to be built?
My question is why the mayor and council of West Palm Beach are fighting against the construction of this road, and why the residents of West Palm Beach are not speaking up. Tell the mayor and council that you’ve had enough: stop wasting money.

It’s a good thing for the extension, if the developers can’t used it for traffic counts, studies on any of the homes to be built around the surrounding area.
Yes they need to stop wasting money fighting this.
