RE: Dixie Flyover

Dear Editor:

Maybe six months ago or more, I attended a meeting at City Hall called a “Vision” meeting for the Dixie EYE SORE, oops, excuse me, The Dixie Flyover. The room was packed, standing room only. Most people there wanted green spaces installed, something to make it look better. At the end of the meeting, we were told that the city had no monies to do anything. (‘Why the meeting?’ we wondered.) Now, just the other day I see on SE 10th, lots of green space improvements. Beautiful curved sidewalks and lots AND lots of trees and plantings! Hmmm … so what happened to no money?

East of Federal on Hillsboro will be beautiful … west of Dixie on Hillsboro a median with trees and seasonal plantings. Between the two areas, you can land a plane on Hillsboro! Everyone seems to be getting something nice, we get an ugly bridge that will probably be a blight area … Time for Deerfield to do better for all your taxpayers not just the chosen few…..

RE: The Hillsboro Boulevard project

Dear Editor:

The Hillsboro Boulevard project is an embarrassment to this city. From Federal Highway east is a big mess starting with the 1st four street light poles in the median. One of them is not even in the median. This one and the rest are out of line and leaning one way or another. The median still has the little black hose things sticking up everywhere. It is a shame that our good money has been spent on such a mess and nobody represents us. “We, the people,” have noticed, acknowledged or been in close contact with the contractors to rectify issues as they arise. Deerfield Beach is a wonderful city with numerous unfinished projects.
