Widening of Atlantic Avenue in Palm Beach Takes 4 More Parcels of Land
Palm Beach County commissioners continue to increase the amount of land they want to take using eminent domain for a proposed widening of West Atlantic Avenue from a two-lane rural roadway into a four-lane divided roadway with accommodations for a future six-lane roadway. The improvement is planned to run from 1,330 west of Lyons Road to Starkey Road, and will include modification of Lyons road north of Atlantic Avenue for 400 feet. In a recent county commission meeting, four more properties were added to the list of those to be taken, increasing the list to 23 properties to be wholly or partially taken.
The improvement is proposed for the purposes of making Atlantic Avenue safer. As a direct route from State Road 7 to the Florida Turnpike through unincorporated Palm Beach County, the stretch of road is heavily traveled, making the current two-lane configuration dangerous. Funding for construction, design, and right-of-way acquisition has been provided by a coalition of local developers and Palm Beach County. The local developers include the owner of the four parcels added during the March 31st commission meeting, Ascot Development.
The fair market value of the four additional parcels was put at $205,000.
If your property is being threatened by the proposed widening of a roadway or other types of public use, you don't have to accept it. Contact the Florida Eminent Domain Law Firm for a free initial consultation and evaluation of your case to get help in resisting the taking or at least receiving full compensation.
