Master Road and Equestrian, Greenway Trail Plan:

 

Calvin, Giordano & Associates, Inc. was commissioned by the Town of Loxahatchee Groves to develop a Master Roadway, Equestrian and Greenway Plan (MREG) to evaluate traffic operational characteristics of the existing and future transportation network in the Town and identify opportunities for equestrian trails and greenways.

The Town of Loxahatchee Groves is a rural, residential and agricultural community encompassing approximately 12.5 square miles in Palm Beach County. Adjacent communities include the Village of Wellington to the south, the Village of Royal Palm Beach to the east, and areas of unincorporated Palm Beach County known as “The Acreage” to the north and west.

In Year 2006, the LGWCD commissioned a report entitled the LGWCD Districtwide Paving Analysis Report (Erdman Anthony of Florida, Inc.,October, 2006). The paving analysis report considered roadway surface treatment alternatives and typical cross section alternatives for roadways throughout theTown. A review of the findings of the paving analysis report was conducted and the recommendations of the report have been incorporated in the MREG, where appropriate.

The scope of the MREG includes traffic volume data collection, traffic operational analyses of 36 primary intersections for existing and future conditions, recommendations for traffic operational improvements, and identification of opportunities for equestrian trails and greenways. Where appropriate, the MREG incorporates historical research and current roadway practices of the LGWCD.

The Final M.R.E.G. Document is now available:

This is just the beginning of the planning process for the future of all of the roads in Loxahatchee Groves.  The 2006 LGWCD Paving Analysis and the 2009 Town Master Road, Equestrian and Greenway Trail Plan are the two documents that the Town Council will use as a basis to determine the future of the Town roads. Please stay informed by attending the Town Council meetings and visiting this website for updates and the Town's progress.
