RE: Metered Parking in The Cove Shopping Center

Dear Editor:

I am a resident of The Cove in Deerfield Beach and I am very concerned that the Deerfield Beach commissioners are considering metering The Cove Shopping Center.

I am concerned for the obvious reasons: it will have a detrimental effect on the Business of The Cove Shopping Center, the visiting public and the residents of The Cove.

If you are also concerned, please attend the workshop on this issue at 7 p.m. in City Hall Commission Chambers on August 25 and voice your concerns.

UPDATES for Deerfield residents

Dear Editor:

I hope you are well and enjoying what is left of the summer!

As we gear up for fall I am delighted to say that your City Officials are hard at work with the Budget and many other items coming before the Commission.

SOUTH FLORIDA WATER MGMT. DISTRICT (SFWMD)

I have some very important news about the Hillsboro Canal Project.

As you may already know, in two weeks they will begin construction on the Hillsboro Canal between Powerline Road and just west of Military Trail.

All of those affected should have received letters back in May stating that the work would begin in mid-June, which is when that project was originally expected to begin.

I’ve included this information in the newsletter so that you are aware of what is happening, as you will begin to see the activity pick up.

This project will begin with tree removal and continue with bank stabilization construction.

I have expressed to SFWMD the extreme importance of notifying the residents affected.

If you are having any issues receiving notification from SFWMD, please contact their Community Affairs Director at 561- 682-6012.
