TURNPIKE MAY GET MORE LANES, MORE EXITS

A year-long study is in the process by the Florida Turnpike Enterprise for possible changes to the 9-mile section between the Sawgrass Expressway exit and the Atlantic Avenue interchange in Delray Beach. Public input will be maximized with neighborhood meetings, newsletters and press releases. Considerations are widening the road from 6 to 8 lanes, and adding full or partial interchanges at either Clint Moore Road, Yamato Road or Palmetto Park Rod (all in Boca Raton) or Linton Boulevard (in Delray Beach). Nearby neighborhoods expressed concern about more noise, increased traffic and more dirt, while expressing a wish to relieve traffic on Glades Road. Some areas requested sound-deadening walls.
