An update on Flavor Pict Road from State Road 7 to Lyons Road; The project was put on hold until bridge testing was completed. The county recently received positive test results which were then accepted by the engineer of record this week. The construction company made some progress with paving work last week, but there is still approximately three weeks worth of work remaining. We anticipate being mostly finished by March 2024.

BOCA RATON, FL (Boca Post) (Copyright © 2024) — PBC Mayor Maria Sachs to provide an “Lyons Road Traffic Update”.
It’s no secret that traffic on Lyons Road is out of control. In part, due to the abundance of “McMansion” communities that have sprouted up and attracted flocks of northern transplants. Traffic is on top of a list of many complaints that people living in the western Delray Beach area have and now PBC Mayor Sacs wants to talk about it.

Maria Sachs is a windbag. Lyons Road and Atlantic Ave., and Lyons Road going south from Atlantic to Clint Moore have been under construction for more than 2 years. It is the county’s fault for this terrible traffic problem. Time to vote out the politicians who have caused this mess. They never should have let GL Homes build as much as they did before the roads were in. It’s putting the cart in front of the horse.
