 YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD. YOUR MORNING. Hello, West Boca.MYWESTBOCA DAILY · FLORIDA | ||||||||
| ||||||||
Good morning, West Boca. There is a concrete follow-up to the county e-bike and scooter proposal: a preliminary step has passed, with a public hearing to come. For today, choose between a pool event and an evening of live music. Looking farther ahead, an adult painting workshop opens registration today, and a nature-center class offers a different kind of family morning. | ||||||||
County government | Unincorporated West Boca The Local LeadThe e-bike and scooter proposal advances to a December hearingPalm Beach County commissioners approved the preliminary reading of a micromobility proposal on October 20 and authorized advertising a public hearing for December 1 at 9:30 a.m., according to the county's meeting recap. That is the outcome of the preliminary step previewed in our October 20 briefing. It is not final adoption of a new ordinance. The recap concerns micromobility devices, motorized scooters and electric bicycles on streets, highways, sidewalks and sidewalk areas under county jurisdiction. That jurisdiction is the important local distinction for unincorporated West Boca. This action does not establish that every road inside a municipality would follow the same county ordinance. For residents following the proposal, December 1 is the next advertised-hearing date authorized by this action. Check the county's meeting information as it approaches for the hearing agenda and participation details. The recap alone does not establish final operating restrictions or an effective date, so we are not presenting proposed limits as rules already in force.

EventsSunday, Oct 25With the kids Today: Monster Mash at The Swim Center 12 p.m.–2 p.m. · The Swim Center, 21618 St. Andrews Boulevard | Nearby Boca The city says participants must be comfortable in the water without parents. Numeric ages are not stated. · No registration instructions are stated in this calendar entry. Check with the venue before going if you need an age or participation clarification. A compact day-of reminder: the pumpkin dive starts at 1 p.m. sharp during the noon–2 p.m. event. The city also lists face painting and games on deck. The water-participation condition is the key eligibility check before choosing this outing; do not assume a child who needs a parent in the water can join the dive. Going out Tonight: Crazy Fingers at Crazy Uncle Mike's 7 p.m. · Crazy Uncle Mike's, 6450 N. Federal Highway | East Boca All ages in the organizer's ticket listing. · Organizer-linked Eventbrite booking. Doors 6 p.m.; show 7 p.m. Free parking and no refunds stated. Recheck remaining tickets. The Grateful Dead tribute band plays an east Boca evening set. Choose it for a Grateful Dead-focused set rather than a general restaurant background-music night. The ticket page distinguishes ticket and table options, so compare what your group is buying before reserving. Adult-section placement does not change the organizer's all-ages admission policy. | ||||||||
News Notes Around West BocaMonday | City and Beach and Park District A Monday meeting for people following Boca parks Boca Raton's City Council and the Greater Boca Raton Beach and Park District are scheduled to meet jointly Monday, October 26, at 6 p.m. in the 6500 Building, 6500 Congress Avenue. This is a practical reminder for readers who follow coordination between the city and district. Use the city agenda page for the actual business and live-web coverage before deciding to attend. The listing establishes a meeting, not a policy outcome; these city and district bodies are separate from the Palm Beach County Commission. Monday travel | Downtown and east Boca Keep the US 1 work window in your Monday plan A short reminder for tomorrow's downtown trip: the city's October 23–30 road notice lists intermittent southbound closures between Camino Real and SE 5th Street/SE Mizner Boulevard from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., October 26–30. At Camino Real, one lane in each direction may close from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The recently shifted final traffic pattern does not mean construction is finished. Farther north, SE 5th to NE 8th streets remains listed for weekday reductions to one lane each way, 9 a.m.–4 p.m., through late 2026. Check for changes before leaving. | ||||||||
Plan ahead Save the dateSunday, Nov 8Going out Registration opens today: paint Hokusai's Great Wave 2 p.m.–4 p.m. · Glades Road Branch Library | Unincorporated West Boca Adults. · Registration opened October 25. At this morning's check, 10 of 14 places were registered, the program was not full and the waitlist was enabled. Use the live organizer page; remaining spaces can change. Movement is for Everyone: Paint Hokusai's Great Wave is a two-hour painting workshop focused on recreating the motion of the famous wave. Reserve for the actual November 8 occurrence, not for today; keep the afternoon free if a supplies-provided adult art session fits your plans.
