Developing story: big changes coming to Dixie Hwy. in the little City of Lake Worth

Sun Sentinel reporters Angel Streeter and Yiran Zhu have a very short but highly significant news item about Dixie Hwy. in Lake Worth. Their sources are the FDOT, the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council, and the Palm Beach Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO).

You can read the article and see an interactive map here. Here is an excerpt from the article:
Cities like West Palm Beach, Lake Worth, Boynton Beach and Tequesta also are planning for big changes to the road by narrowing it, building bigger sidewalks and adding bike lanes and shade trees. Some want more vibrant downtowns; others are reacting to the influx of residential development to the corridor.
