A Boca Raton developer is seeking permission to build 394 apartments in eight-story towers instead of retail space in an empty lot off Federal Highway.

The proposal also includes a rooftop pool and parking garage.

The developer argues that there is not enough demand for retail in the area, so apartments would be more profitable.

The city has not yet approved the request, as some residents are concerned about the impact on traffic and the neighborhood's character.

🌿 Outdoor & Living Survival

Exploring Florida's Springs: Snorkeling and Kayaking Safety

Florida’s natural springs are among the most breathtaking outdoor destinations — perfect for snorkeling, kayaking, and connecting with nature.

But before you dive in, it’s important to follow key safety practices to protect both yourself and these fragile ecosystems.

  • Know the Environment: Research the spring you’re visiting.

    Some have strong currents or limited access points.

    Check park rules and weather forecasts before heading out.
  • Gear Up Properly: Use a well-fitted snorkel mask, life vest, and fins.

    When kayaking, always wear a U.S.

    Coast Guard-approved life jacket and secure loose gear.
  • Stay Aware of Wildlife: Manatees, turtles, and fish are common in Florida’s springs.

    Maintain a respectful distance and never attempt to touch or feed them.
  • Practice Buddy Safety: Never snorkel or kayak alone.

    Keep visual contact with your companion and establish hand or paddle signals for communication.
  • Protect the Springs: Avoid standing on underwater vegetation or stirring up sediment.

    Use reef-safe sunscreen to help preserve the water’s clarity and ecosystem.
  • Hydration and Sun Protection: Bring water, wear a hat, and reapply sunscreen often.

    Florida’s sun and humidity can cause dehydration faster than you think.

Tip: Early mornings are the best time to explore — fewer crowds, calmer waters, and better visibility for spotting wildlife.

⚠️ Safety: Always respect park regulations, stay within designated swimming and kayaking zones, and avoid alcohol before or during water activities.

Your safety depends on awareness and preparation.
