Here comes All Aboard Florida to West Palm Beach

Very big news in West Palm Beach about All Aboard Florida. By next year the link from West Palm to Miami will be in operation and the next year after that (2017) the link to Orlando will be complete. By 2018 the Coastal Link should be in operation also.

Here is the news from Jennifer Sorentrue on the structures to be built in West Palm to accommodate AAF:

     All Aboard Florida and West Palm Beach officials struck a deal this week that will allow the private rail venture to build a 285,000-square-foot residential tower next to its downtown train station, ending a year-long string of intense negotiations over the project.
     The deal, which was unveiled Thursday, requires All Aboard Florida to pay for a key access road linking the train station just north of CityPlace to Clematis Street. During the negotiations, West Palm Beach Mayor Jeri Muoio said it was critical that All Aboard Florida pay for the road and the property needed to build it.
     West Palm Beach city commissioners are expected to vote Monday on the plan.
