Passenger Trains > (FL) Tri-Rail expanding to PBG?Date: 07/22/17 07:33 (FL) Tri-Rail expanding to PBG? Author: Lackawanna484 The regional planning council is considering a proposal to expand Tri-Rail service north to PGA Blvd in Palm Beach Gardens. A new station is being suggested.
The actual service start is years off, and would require a new connection to Florida East Coast. While a Northwood station isn't mentioned, that might also be a possibility. Palm Beach county leaders have been under pressure to address traffic issues in the booming PBG area. http://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/local/tri-rail-station-likely-coming-gardens-but-where-will/yVKitLjiDNJUV0d70NRsGI/ Posted from Android Date: 07/23/17 06:46 Re: (FL) Tri-Rail expanding to PBG?

That's a welcome change from the usual NIMBY efforts when passenger rail expansion comes up. BSB Date: 07/23/17 06:52 Re: (FL) Tri-Rail expanding to PBG? Author: Lackawanna484 The PBG area where FEC passes through is a mix of tall office buildings, an enormous mall, and middle to high end residential.
I suspect the expansion, if it happens, will be well received. FL does a lot of what if planning to put ideas out on the table.

That is when all NIMBY hell breaks loose! LOL!

Just impose a $10 per day out of county parking surcharge n PBG or Jupiter / Tequesta, and Palm Beach County would do just fine... |
