Lead story

The city's schedule went out July 22, ahead of the first night of work.

Across Florida

Beeline Highway lane closures run through Friday

One outside lane is closed on southeast-bound Beeline Highway at two separate points. One closure is west of Northlake Boulevard, and the other runs from east of Jog Road to the Florida's Turnpike bridge. FDOT has the daytime closures scheduled through Friday, July 31, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. Both are single outside-lane closures on the southeast-bound side rather than full shutdowns, and the schedule covers daytime hours only. The closures were announced July 27.

Around town

Free coffee with Palm Beach Gardens Police on Wednesday

Palm Beach Gardens Police officers will be at the Mirasol Walk Starbucks, 6231 PGA Boulevard, on Wednesday, July 29, from 8:30 to 11 a.m. for Coffee with a Cop. Each attendee can get one free hot or iced coffee in any size, and any modifications to the drink are charged at the register. The free coffee is good only during the event and only at the Mirasol Walk store, so it cannot be redeemed at another Starbucks location. Details of the event went out July 23.

Military and veterans get a free hour at The Nest

Veterans and active-duty military personnel can take one complimentary hour of Trackman Bay Play at The Nest Par 3, 9900 Sandhill Crane Drive, on Wednesday, July 29 and Thursday, July 30, from 4 to 7:30 p.m. The offer also includes 50% off golf balls, $5 club rentals for anyone who needs them, and discounted food and beverages available for purchase. A valid military ID, DD214 or veteran-designation license is required. There are no advance reservations, access is first come, first served, and entry is through the Avenir entrance. That routing is in place while the Northlake Boulevard main entrance to both golf clubs is closed for renovations and upgrades.
