Jupiter to start $5.5 million in State Road A1A roadwork this... | www.mypalmbeachpost.com

I think we can put the term "funky little fishing village" on the shelf as it applies to the Town of Jupiter. But, it is becoming a high value location for families and businesses to locate. And they are investing in projects that will make the quality of life even better there than before. Interesting to note that the article mentions 90 percent of recent electric line placement in the Palm Beach County has been through underground facilities. Click title for link. Here are some of the improvements on the horizon - think of it as part of Jupiter's 2020 plan.
PLAN DETAILS
— Parallel parking on staggered areas along both sides of A1A south of Saturn Street.
— Decorative pedestrian streetlights that will be about 15 feet high. Regular street lights are about 30 feet high.
— Burying above-ground power lines. The town will install a 10-inch-wide pipe for drinking water and new drainage.
— Decorative crosswalks, like the one at Ocean Way, will be installed.
— Four-foot-wide bicycle paths and 6-foot-wide sidewalks are planned for both sides of A1A.
