Boca Raton area may get more exits for Florida's Turnpike

What size would you like your NIMBY T-shirt in? Let's not forget we're talking about Boca here, land of the "I want it and I don't want to you have its".

Please, this meeting will help determine: where the turnpike should be opened in Boca. Personally, IT SHOULD NOT BE OPENED in BOCA. In many states the turnpikes are limited access in order to curb "unwanted traffic" in residential areas. YAMATO, CLINT MOORE, and PALMETTO PARK Road have enough traffic and crime (though actual numbers are under reported) without supplying the would be criminals with multiple escape and entry options. It is absurd to believe that every East-West Road must have a turnpike exchange. Especially in this economic climate and uncontrolled crime.

A really long single lane offramp approaching the exit road vs. a loop-de-loop that hugs the Turnpike behind a concrete divider wall would add only 15 feet to the width of the highway - which would keep it within it's current right-of-way and inside the canals. Really long because it would only be one lane and would need stacking room for cars to back up a little. Sheesh ... you don't need to build spaghetti junction at every exit.

What would make the best sense is to have an exit only lane (electronic toll) from the south at Hillsboro Ave.
This would only impact the adjoining Quite Water’s park. Not that it would really have any to begin with, it only makes sense.
From the North, having the same at Clintmore is another alternative.
These both would help out lots.

Let's DON'T and say we DID.

Note:: There is only one REAL "concerned one". And that is the one who CREATED and ORIGINATED the post name "concerned one". ALL OTHERS ARE JUST COPYCATS.
Whenever someone uses your statements and your names that you have originated, that is known as "THE FINEST FORM OF FLATTERY THERE IS". They are copycats. Copycats don't have any thinking ability so they have to copy things from others. It is VERY flattering that someone chooses your creations to copy. I am TREMENDOUSLY flattered that there is another post by someone copying my name of "concerned one". Of all of the names that are posted at any given time, I guess that means I formulated the most coveted one. Other than the copycat that has posted using my name ("concerned one") and in OTHER previous news articles, I haven't seen any other instances of copycats. MY focus is on only "auto vehicles".

concerned one .(the REAL 'concerned one')::

.......... is flattered to observe posts in the forum showing up quite often where the person who SUBMITTED the posts merely COPIED the REAL 'concerned ones' post name and statements.

.......... wonders why ANYBODY would want to show that they are completely BANKRUPT of any mental capacity and they are STARVING to find some words to post in the forum but they can't THINK of any.

.......... is greatly FLATTERED.

I have TRULY been having some really good laughs, and pounding my chest in TRIUMPH from hearing all the horrible things happen that we are reading about now in the news. Whenever the current events locally and nationally are as they are now and everyone begins to actually FEEL the devastating effects of those horrible problems of which I have been SPEAKING about for a long time, everyone always starts to complain of suffering from those PROBLEMS. I refer to that crying and complaining as the "gnashing and gnawing of teeth". This "gnashing and gnawing of teeth" that everyone is doing now due to all of the unfortunate problems that are occurring in America (tragic auto vehicle crashes, foreclosures on home mortgages, high inflation, huge national debt, rising unemployment, declining home sales and prices, skyrocketing fuel prices, taxes, insurance, etc.) all thoroughly SUBSTANTIATE practically EVERYTHING I have been speaking about and was being ridiculed for by some.

Well, it has been a long, long time ago that I FIRST posted in a SS news article that was about a tragic crash that had occurred then. For several of the people who were involved in the crash their bodies had been mutilated by the crash. It was truly a wrenching story to read about in the news. Upon reading that horrific story about that collision of auto vehicles I could only look to my innermost feelings in order to create a postname for my post that I was going to submit. The horror of reading about the crash represented exactly what I was feeling about things, and that provided for me the basis for the postname to type in and I have retained that postname ever since::........concerned one.

Since that time of that news story of the crash there has been a number of major news headlines come out about a number of various stories relating to how everything is going these days. Within all of those stories a clear MESSAGE has been shown:: I have consistently been right on track with where the shape of things would lead.
And for all of those who ridiculed me..........well..........look at it this way..........the world is indebted to you for bringing about the famous saying about YOU:: There is a FOOL born every second.

Do it! Widen it!

Before I-95 was widened between Hypoluxo Rd and 6th Ave South, when I would get off Lantana Road (heading south) I would have to wait for 3 lights sometimes because the traffic would sometimes back up onto 95, an extremely dangerous thing. When DOT re-did that exit ramp, I was disappointed and flabbergasted to find out that they did NOT widen it. It is STILL one lane headed east, and I STILL have to wait for 2 or 3 lights, even with snowbirds gone. DOT had the perfect opportunity to fix it without extra expense, since they were tearing it up anyway.
NOW, with tax cuts and all, they want to help Boca ....

Sheri Scarborough and the West Boca Community Council DO NOT represent 120,000 West Boca residents, as this article states. Sheri and her minions operate with no oversight, and are only looking out for whomever their special interest du jour happens to be. They (together with our county commissioner Burt Aaronson) cater to the retiree/country clubber lobby in West Boca, with no regard whatsoever for working families here. The whole setup in West Boca is highly questionable.

Interchanges are needed at Palmetto Park and Yamato in West Boca, plus the eastbound Sawgrass. My bet is the WBCC tries to squash any additional interchange in West Boca, just like they crushed the University Drive extension.

Sheri and her group of thugs should be investigated by the FBI. Years ago the WBCC was instrumental in putting down a movement to incorporate West Boca into it's own city. They relish their power, and rule with practically no accountability.
