West Palm Beach committee: restore Dixie Highway’s glory

Click title for link to Eliot Kleinberg's article in the Palm Beach Post regarding recommendations for improving Dixie Hwy from Okeechobee Boulevard to the Lake Worth line. Lake Worth needs to follow some of these recommendations and make sure they continue into our city. I'm attempting to track down the report and recommendations now. At the end, it points out the importance of the highway in our area's history and that would be honored/promoted in the various projects. From the article:

Dixie Highway, that grand boulevard that’s carried residents, tourists, snowbirds and new transplants through central West Palm Beach for a century, is an aging artery in desperate need of a makeover, a committee says.
Fixes for the 4.2-mile stretch of South Dixie, from Okeechobee Boulevard south to the Lake Worth line, range from the dramatic and costly — burying power lines — to the cheap — urging people to park on side streets.
“Yes, there are a lot of things that will cost money, but there are a lot of things at little or no cost that can be done now,” Michele Jones, chairwoman of the South Dixie Corridor Implementation Strategy Committee, told city commissioners at a workshop Aug. 11.
The committee worked on the plan for two years and made about 100 recommendations.
