During the recent Wellington Village Council Workshop, significant discussions centered around upcoming construction projects that aim to enhance community safety and infrastructure. Notably, the construction of the Greenbrier Boulevard bike lane is set to begin next year, following the finalization of a grant application and Local Agency Program (LAP) agreement this year. This project is expected to improve cycling safety and accessibility for residents.

Another key topic was the Lake Worth Road and 120th Avenue intersection roundabout project. The design for this roundabout was approved for fiscal year 2024, with funding also secured for construction in the same fiscal year. The project is currently under design, with full plans anticipated to be completed by November. Officials aim to send the project out for bid and procurement early next year, with hopes to commence construction by April or May. This timeline is strategically planned to minimize disruptions during the school year and the equestrian season.

The roundabout is designed to enhance safety for both vehicles and pedestrians, addressing concerns about the current failing intersection at Lake Worth Road and 120th Avenue. By improving traffic flow and safety, these projects reflect the Village Council's commitment to enhancing the quality of life for Wellington residents. As these initiatives move forward, they promise to bring tangible benefits to the community in the coming years.
