Regional public meeting tomorrow at Lake Worth Casino Complex.



However, regrettably, also this week Mayor Pam Triolo will be attending meetings at the White House in Washington, D.C., and will not be able to attend the event at the Lake Worth Beach. But the mayor has little to fret about. Vice Mayor Andy Amoroso will ably represent the City of Lake Worth.

September’s meeting of the Palm Beach TPA is being held in the Lake Worth Casino Ballroom this Thursday (more details below).


TPA  =  Transportation Planning Agency.


Lake Worth Mayor Pam Triolo sits on the TPA Governing Board and Public Services Dir. Jamie Brown sits on the Technical Advisory Committee.

 The public relations manager for the TPA is Malissa Booth. For contact information click on this link.


The TPA Governing Board did not meet in July or August, so there will be a lot of topics up for discussion and debate at the Lake Worth Casino. And possibly one of those topics on the agenda will be a Palm Tran bus stop at the Lake Worth Beach. To learn more about that click on this link.

This is timely because a new bus stop — actually a Palm Tran bus stop that was eliminated ten years ago — may very well become another project, one of the seven schemes presented by CPZ Architects on August 7th at the Lake Worth City Commission to fix all the planning and infrastructure problems at this public beach that serves so many residents here in Central Palm Beach County.

“I have a question.
What does the TPA do?”


Watch this short one-minute video to find out (the TPA was formerly called the Metropolitan Planning Organization [MPO]):






The September meeting of the TPA Governing Board will be held on Thursday, September 20th, 9:00 a.m., at the Lake Worth Casino and Beach Complex. The address is 10 S. Ocean Blvd.

Lake Worth Mayor Pam Triolo sits on the TPA Governing Board and the alternate board member is Vice Mayor Andy Amoroso.

Jamie Brown, the Dir. of Public Services in the City of Lake Worth, sits on the Technical Advisory Committee and the assistant director, Felipe Lofaso, is the alternate board member on TAC.

FYI: There are several vacancies on the Bicycle, Trailways, Pedestrian Advisory Committee. However, the City of Lake Worth has no representation on BTPAC. So hopefully that will change very soon. Why? Because as a long-time elected leader on the Lake Worth City Commission is fond of saying,

“If you don’t have a seat at the table, you’re probably on the menu.”
