Appearance These improvements are required since the area has deteriorated while growth in the North County has blossomed. Palm Beach County continues to mow the partially grown areas on each side of the road but has no plans to improve either the roadway or related areas. The continual operation of vehicles in the sugar sand north of the road and near the bridge has made it impossible for grass or even weeds to grow. Pictures of the blemished areas will be available at each presentation. The Tequesta Planning Commission studied this situation and passed a motion earlier this year term plan for quick improvements to be followedbyta longerpana dsmore costly plan.

In fact, the plan calls for maintaining a natural walkway of grass or natural composites, around the bridge and to the waterway. This short range plan we believe, will encourage interest as well as funding for a long range plan that would include trees, flowers and the required water for total beautification. Formal approvals for the short term plan have been or will be obtained from the Palm Beach County, Permit Section of the Land Development Division, and the current United States Government agencies utilizing the land where any material changes will be made.
