Mayor Steven Abrams told Council Members this week that the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority, which operates Tri-Rail, chose to go with the larger project – which is 15 time larger than what is allowed on the property. The Council reaffirmed it’s position with a unanimous vote adopting a resolution of opposition. This is the Council’s second resolution of opposition. City Manager Leif Ahnell said the area being considered for development is currently designated as a “rail site.” He said a “transportation summit” will be held, perhaps in June, for further discussion which will include attendees from the state DOT, Metropolitan Planning Organizations, large employers and Palm Beach and Broward County officials.
