Charrette today through Wednesday: Dixie Hwy. Multimodal Corridor Study at the Lake Worth Art Center.

First, it’s great having our former shuffleboard courts in the Downtown being a hub of activity once again: a community meeting place for Central Palm Beach County residents.

The Lake Worth Art Center is located at
1121 Lucerne Ave.

This “Open Studio Charrette” is Monday–Wednesday, 10:00–7:00.

I attended the workshop last Saturday. Below are photos and more information.

There was a constant coming-and-going while
I was there: reviewing ideas and some
proffering their own.

The “Lake Worth Art Center” will soon be renamed officially Hatch 1121. It proved to be an excellent place to gather for an event such as this. Attendees used a sign-in sheet (see sign-in table below) and got to see and review possible makeovers to the most important local transportation corridor through eastern metropolitan Palm Beach County.

about this study.

As I was pulling into the parking area, Dr. Kim Delaney from the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council exited her vehicle with lunch for everyone. There were enough sandwiches, wraps, and provisions from TooJays to feed a small army.

While greeting and looking at the exhibits I found out a group had already left to go “out in the field”, walking the Dixie Hwy. corridor to familiarize themselves with conditions experienced by pedestrians, bicyclists, and those otherwise not using a motor vehicle of some sort.

Here are more pictures I took of the exhibits and those in attendance:
