This is an update to the status of the All Aboard Florida train station in downtown West Palm Beach. Plans for the Ft. Lauderdale and Miami stations have already been made public. This one is still being worked on. The most serious impact of its location and design calls for the closing of Datura and Evernia Streets along Quadrille. They would like to go ahead and demolish the former Sasser Glass building, but the city needs to see what is planned first before going forward. Click title for link.
West Palm Beach city officials have yet to see designs for All Aboard Florida’s proposed train station even as the private company adds land to its downtown cache and plans for an architectural debut this month.
The most recent acquisition was an $860,000 purchase in April of a plot of unused land from Florida Power & Light that will be used for an access road needed because the station will close two downtown streets.
All Aboard Florida or related companies already have amassed about two acres of downtown land north of CityPlace with the purchase of a vacant Sewell Hardware building and the 89-year-old Sasser Glass building.
All Aboard Florida says it has been working with the city on the development of its downtown station.
