They cleared about 200 acres (of tot. 2,000) ran some water & electric lines and put in a big concrete slab for the Scripps bldg. but thats it.

What a joke. All that area to ride and because of jerks who sued when they got hurt in the past has led to a total shut down. Along the B-Line HWY, there is so much land (1,000's of acres) that Palm Beach county bought and claims it to be sensitive and all they are doing is going to sell it for developement. We all know it's true. They are going to make a road from Seminole Pratt to the B-line and we know it, too. Towers was a great place to ride and now it is some stupid tax hole. They spent a fourtune digging and making some kind of thing out there. Then decided to try and make it back to the way it was Oops!? That will all be developed and we know it. Development is so out of hand. The corruption leading to the devlopments is absurd and we know it's happening.

On 9/19/06 the Palm Beach County Commissioners voted to sell Mecca Farms to developers to build 3,800+ homes.  I am sure there was some palms greased and some pockets stuffed by our elected officials over this latest reaming of the public good!

OMG. 3800 HOMES? How the hell is Seminole Pratt going to hold this many cars?!

[dnigels]

We the tax payers will have to pony up to widen it,  run utilities, build fire stations, schools etc.  Thats not the end of it, there are an additional 20,000 homes planned by developers that already own land to the east (Vavrus) and the north.

I feel like we have been thrown down into the pit with the sodomites.

Grab your ankle folks.
