Rebranding Discussion from 11-10-21 Jergensen The topic of rebranding came up in the Discover board meeting and I am not saying I am against rebranding, just that this board should be aware of what is being discussed. Jorge and his team presented to their board that they are looking at a rebranding that would affect all of us. We rebranded six years ago and brought all the agencies on board; I am not sure if now is the time to rebrand as we come out of a recession and money is tight. So, I wanted to bring this to you for discussion. Nick has a presentation and then we can discuss.

Dufresne I agree with you with the exception of the County logo. It is the most hideous logo we have.

Jergensen But that is the County. The County Commission would have to look at that if they chose to.

Hostettler I don’t think there is anything wrong with looking at a rebranding initiative. I don’t think we are interested in spending money on it right now, but if we haven’t looked at this since 2013, the world has changed a lot since then. I think you need to look no further than Pure Michigan where they are very brand consistent and then you go to our page where you have seven different logos here that have absolutely nothing to do with each other. I’m not exactly sure that supports one brand. I am a huge believer in continually updating the brand.

Mostad I agree with Daniel, without question it is time. It is this board’s responsibility to look at this. In this day and age where most things are digital the concept of brand transition now cost implications would be 10 – 20% of what it would have been. I can’t support taking the expertise of our marketing team and putting a restraint on them and I don’t think the costs would be significant.

Parks I just want to clarify; we have a brand campaign which changes about every two years. Our brand identity is our colors, our type face, and our logo.

Nick gives his presentation and lays out a plan to provide consistent branding throughout the agencies and suggests all agencies sit down together to develop a new brand.

Elderd This is a delicate matter for us because we participated in the development of Discover the Palm Beaches and created a TV channel of over 40 shows, some of which would be impossible to change, such as Discover the Palm Beaches with Burt Wolf. Burt Wolf is now doing the eighth episode. The seven previous episodes are already on PBS and are rebroadcast each year and in fact have been rebroadcast 15,000 times, all of them under the heading of Discover the Palm Beaches. Taking away Discover the Palm Beaches would be cost prohibitive.

3.a.

I am thinking don’t dispense with the brand but add to it.

Hostettler I don’t think you are asking to do away with Discover the Palm Beaches, correct? You are simply asking to do a brand analysis.

Elderd They have already removed the word Discover.

Parks We go to market now with The Palm Beaches. We have dropped Discover. We are asking to evolve the brand, the creative look and feel of the logo.

Lawrence There are a couple of considerations which I think are important from the cultural perspective. The first is some of the examples you gave are not necessarily apples to apples when it comes to our counterparts, Georgia Council on the Arts and Michigan Arts are both statewide agencies and efforts.

It’s important to remember that the Cultural Council has a lot of work that is outside the scope of the TDC and it requires us to have an arts focused brand as part of our work. So, as we proceed down this path we need to be very careful and remember the Cultural Council exists outside the TDC as well.

The last point I would like to make is there will be costs associated with this for the Council. Think about all the cultural organization that will have to also adopt this new brand. There are assets they use year after year that would need to be changed. So, we’ve got to take into consideration that we have all of our cultural agencies what are funded through the TDC that will also have to go through the change and there will be a cost to that.

The Cultural Council just went through our own rebranding and adopted a new brand in January of 2020. So, I have concerns in regard to that. I welcome the conversation but we need to be involved in these conversations before any decisions are made.

Jergensen I want to make sure no one is confused. Discover the Palm Beaches is not Discover’s logo, they have a corporate logo that is all your own. Discover the Palm Beaches is the brand identity for the County which was approved by the BCC and everyone one of these agencies has to use it in cooperation with their own identity. It makes it a little cumbersome, but it still focuses on the brand of the County.

Dufresne When we do sponsorships we use everybody’s logos although the County’s always stand out the most, but also with the new positioning “America’s first resort destination” and then you say The Palm Beaches and the only thing that comes to mind is the town of Palm Beach, not the Palm Beaches not anywhere else.

I am a little concerned that things get too generic. Also, like Culture, Sports has its own advertising markets. You have to recognize that these agencies work outside of the general tourism marketplace.

Linley I am going to echo what others have said, we use Discover the Palm Beaches in all of our advertising. I agree that we all have to evolve and look at where trends are moving. If the tourism brand changes we will make sure to incorporate that into our message. The Sports Commission is about to go through our own rebranding and refresh our logo.

Shoaf What is the ask today?

Jergensen Should we delay or should we continue to move forward and have this assessment done?

Shoaf We have independent agencies that all function separately, but we also have the umbrella agency. So are we looking to move forward with have that conversation and let the agency heads get together and have say.

Jergensen I wanted to make sure the TDC said yes, the agencies should all be at the table.

Shoaf Moving forward to look at this and not necessarily signing off on any brand.

Mostad As a participant on the Discover Board was absolutely to have collaboration with the other agencies.

This wasn’t a one-sided, rolling down hill concept. If all the agencies need something different, so be it.

I will make a motion to allow Discover to proceed with this exploration.

Jergensen I would like to add that this be done hand in hand with the other agencies. They should all be at the table.

Motion to direct Discover to look into rebranding with the inclusion of the other agencies is made by Jim Mostad and seconded by Don Dufresne. Motion carries 7-0 with Davicka Thompson absent and Seat 2 vacant.

MOTION TO APPROVE NOVEMBER 10th TDC MEETING MINUTES* Mostad During the last meeting there was lengthy discussion about the rebranding by Discover. I and a few others spoke up in support of it, but there were some who didn’t want to green light until some more investigation was done and a scope of the rebranding project was made. I don’t believe the abbreviated minutes accurately reflected that discussion. I think we should document that discussion in more detail.

Jergensen We will go back and listen to the tape and bring back more detail. We have the tapes for an official transcript of the meetings and supply the board with an abbreviated version.

Dufresne We should comply with whatever the state law requires.

Jergensen We do with having the audio tapes.

Commissioner Sachs Let me rephrase, motion to approve the November 10th meeting minutes as filed and the abbreviated minutes we are approving are not the abbreviated ones.

Hutchinson Yes, those filed are the master minutes and are word for word.

Motion to approve the filed November 10th TDC meeting minutes was made by Jim Bronstein and seconded by Jim Mostad. Motion carries 8-0 with Seat 2 vacant.

B.

PBI UPDATE- Lacy Larson, Airport Marketing

Larson October was just a smidge lower than October 2019, down in passenger traffic 3.2%.

Seats and capacity were down 6.6% from October 2019. We won’t have November numbers until the end of December, but we expect the numbers to be similar to October’s numbers and we are expecting a good December. The highlight of Thanksgiving traffic is that we did not run out of parking spaces as did our neighbors to the south. We worked hard to plan for parking so we would not run out of spaces, and it was a big PR plus for our airport in regard to visitor experience.

On December 16, we will start our new service with Avello airlines to New Haven, CT. Breeze airlines announced new service to six new routes: Charleston, New Orleans, Akron, Columbus, Richmond, and North Carolina. These are Saturday only flights for now.

Request for a One-Year Contract Extension with Spectra Venue Mgmt. for the operation of the PBC Convention Ctr. to expire 9/30/2023.* Motion to Approve

Jergensen

4

As you know, we've been down 18 months on the convention center in terms of activities.

Spectra food and beverage contract is expiring at the end of the fiscal year, September 2022. This contract has gone through a couple of extensions due to the pandemic. We also have the Spectra Venue Management expiring at the end of 2022. I am asking for a one-year extension of this agreement to September of 2023. The Food and Beverage contract will go to RFP this year. Dave and team would get an extension of one year to bridge that gap. We had a lot of events on the books before the Omicron variant and I think it would be good to keep the same team in place to be able to work with Discover and rebook those that have postponed and maintain that synergy for clients. And if I may, I wanted Dave to comment you know Spectra was actually acquired by Oak View Group which is another large convention center management team.

Anderson We were purchased by a company called Oak View Group. There are three big competitors in our industry. One of our competitors bought us. The Oak View Group is more arena development driven. They basically invest, they build, and they manage these venues. And they have a convention center portfolio which they want to expand on. The transaction came through about three weeks ago. It just creates endless opportunities because Oak View Group is actually owned by an equity firm worth about $80 billion. And the firm has been investing heavily to allow them to build and develop.

They are looking at secondary markets as well. They're building and launching a brandnew arena that will open next year in Savannah, Georgia. They're looking at smaller markets like this and they're bringing the money. The exciting part of the merger is this company now gives us a huge capital infusion. There won't be a lot of changes as it relates to the ground level here. But as it relates to the company itself, and possible investment in the future, the possibilities are endless.

Motion to approve a One-Year Contract Extension with Spectra Venue Management is made by Commissioner Christina Romelus and seconded by Jim Mostad. Motion carries 8-0 with Seat 2 vacant.

Legislative Update- Bills introduced Pre-Session & PBC Delegation contacts*

Jergensen This is for informational purposes. Session starts in January. There are some bills filed related to the expansion of the Tourist Development Tax. And we just wanted to bring that to the table. We'll continue to monitor this very closely. Don has asked for all the committee's, their chairs, and members and we will get that out to all of you. Some of that information is attached and in the board book. Each session there is always an attack on the tourist development taxes. That is something we will all have to be very wary of and keep tabs on. I think there is also an update on the film and TV activity making a lot of progress up in Tallahassee, which is good. But we'll, watch it. I just want to make sure that you all continue to see information about it. And we'll continue to get it out. We have a great relationship with Destinations Florida. Matt Forest does a wonderful job keeping 5

tabs on this information. Matt is the lobbyist for Destinations Florida, and he lives in West Palm Beach, so he keeps up informed.

Dufresne Requested a copy of the Legislative agenda, Senate and House tourism related committees and a list of committee members.

Thompson Requested information on the bills so that those who cannot travel to Tallahassee can write letters.

Jergensen We will work on getting you the agenda and information about the bills.

Commissioner Shoaf Do we have any information on Home Rule and Airbnb regulations and reporting?

Baker We are always lobbying for Home Rule, and we also have issues with Uber and the airport. We will be happy to share any information that we have towards these lobbying efforts.

NEW BUSINESS – DISCUSSION ITEMS A.

Treasure Coast Greenways Grant Project Letter of Recommendation* Motion to Approve

Jergensen We had a request for more information about this project so in your board packet we have more details. This is not a request for money from us. This is a request for a letter of support to the Regional Planning Council of the Treasure Coast the Greenways Trail will go through Saint Lucie all the way down to South Palm Beach County. Some of the trails already exist. Deb Drum is very familiar with the project, and I will let her weigh in on this.

Drum I think it’s an appropriate level of support. This is a regional multi-county regional effort, and it is in line with growing tourism around nature-based experiences and safe

6

transportation. The letter of support will allow Port St. Lucie to be eligible for more funding.

Motion to approve The Treasure Coast Greenway Grant Project Letter of Recommendation is approved by Jim Mostad and seconded by Jim Bronstien. Motions carries 8-0 with Seat 2 vacant.

B.

Board direction requested on Agencies providing individual Cities and Towns with specific research information and tourism asset development support.* Motion to Approve

Jergensen I want to get the board to give us their inputs and thoughts as what kind of assistance and funding would be appropriate when asked by cities and towns to help fund tourism related projects and studies. There are two situations where many cities and towns may come to Discover The Palm Beaches or Sports Commission looking for some research on expanding hotel development, expanding sports venues, etc. They’ll be looking for funding from us and sometimes asking for us to fund it all. We pushed back and have required cities and towns to fund these projects in total and put it into the public budges.

When we get the invoice brought back from the city or town, we should be taking those dollars and offsetting the research dollars that we spent. The city of Boynton Beach wanted to do a large study on the Boynton Beach Mall. They were looking to build an arena at the mall, but COVID took it out of the table. Now they are back, and they want us to participate in this study. The other question is should we be going to each city and town and requesting a contract to do marketing for them. Jorge, do we have any contracts with cities or towns to do specific marketing?

Pesquera For many years, we have had contracts with some cities to participate in a membership or partnership program. Individual cities do play an important part in the message that we send. For instance, we market assets around the Boca area and the West Palm Beach. If they want to participate on those partnership programs, it’s good for the organization and for the destination, and the county. It’s all for the benefit of the county. But when it comes to funding research, I don’t think we should be footing the bill for a visitor profile analysis, economic study, or a hotel study. The city or town should at least be putting 50% of the cost into it. Any study we initiate for the benefit of the entire County is free to anyone who would like it. This information we would provide for free. The only caveat to this plan is if our Tourism Master Plan shows that strategically certain studies would be good for the overall evolution or development of the tourism industry, we may want to fund this entire project. But that would come to this board first for approval.

Commissioner Shoaf

7

I have a question; do we have a way to assist smaller cities which may not have the budget to fund a study?

Pesquera We promote all 39 cities in the county. We have content for everyone on the website and our staff are trained to answer questions about every city. The membership is really geared towards the cities which have a more active tourism agenda, like Delray Beach or Boca Raton. It one of these cities wants to do a specific promotion, let’s say in South Florida during the off season and it would benefit the county as a whole, then there should be a way for a cooperative effort.

Commissioner Shoaf I guess I am just looking for a way that can be more equitable for cities without big budgets, like the western communities. If they wanted to develop maybe a nature-based adventure program for tourism, there is a way for us to participate at a greater level than a standard 50/50 split. I think that would be good for everyone.

Commissioner Sachs What I would like to do is have a second on the motion to approve 6.B as stated and then have another motion to have a review of the information on which cities have participated in partnerships and how much they have spent. Then we can be more educated on how we move forward on that part of the subject.

Commissioner Shoaf I would like to make a small adjustment to the wording of 6.B that we allow for some flexibility to the partnership program.

Commissioner Sachs Commissioner would you like to restate the motion?

Commissioner Romelus I would amend to not just have a 50/50 split with cities but to be flexible with a negotiation with the cities or agencies involved.

Baker I just want to add this tweak that Commissioner Shoaf brought forward, that it should be on a sliding scale, and we should not be allowing cities which can afford it should not be coming to the table with a 10% match but should pay a 50% match. But for smaller cities without the budget, they may pay less.

8

Motion to approve item 6.B but change the language for negotiations be on a sliding scale for the cities based on their ability to pay the shared cost of requested studies.

Motion is made by Christine Romelus and seconded by Kelly Shoaf. Motions carries 80 with Seat 2 vacant.

Motion to bring back the review of the partnerships with information on what the cities are paying for partnership agreements so we can have an informed discussion. Motion is made by Christine Romelus and seconded by Kelly Shoaf. Motions carries 8-0 with Seat 2 vacant.

ERM 1. Two Minute Update- Deb Drum

Drum Update on beach restoration, the Jupiter, Carlin Park restoration, and Coral Cove dune renourishment projects are underway. We will be maintaining public access to the beaches, and we are creating a big shell pile which is popular with tourists. Any selective closures we have will be due to safety. Manatee season started in November; we have enhanced enforcement going on consistent with the manatee protection plan. Tomorrow at 2:00 p.m. at Dubois Park, Commissioner Marino will be proclaiming the day Andrew Red Harris Artificial Reef Day in honor of that foundation. The foundation has donated over a million dollars in reef materials to help the county develop its reefs. Our renovation of the Royal Palm Beach Pines natural area is complete. There is a new boardwalk, new wetland overlook, new hiking trails, signage and equestrian use.

Is there any language in the agreement about a minimum number of games which need to be played?

Baker I will have to look into that.

CULTURAL COUNCIL 1.

Two Minutes Update - Dave Lawrence

In advertising we just wrapped up a campaign around Art Basel and have a test campaign going on in Austin, Tx. We are getting ready to launch a spring training campaign. We continue to follow up on our NYC media reception and scheduling future familiarization tours. There is a fantastic story in Veranda Magazine entitled Palm Beach, America’s Next Great Art Destination. We are working with Discover to add a cultural element to a consumer activation in New York in January and we are working with Sports and other agencies on a collaboration for the Ultimate Week of Sports. We just finished grantee reimbursement trainings and are getting ready to work on the next round of grant applications. Finally, we will be in Tallahassee for Palm Beach Days to promote our tourism message and support of statewide cultural grants.

Bronstein Might there be an opportunity to connect with Art Basel in the future? Something that would drive people there to come down here for a few days.

Lawrence I think advertising along with some more promotion would be appropriate.

Anderson Since our company also runs the building where Art Basel takes place, I could make some introductions if that would be helpful.

Commissioner Romelus The City of Boynton Beach has the tallest art sculpture in Palm Beach County, it is 40 feet high and called the Cavalcade. So, if you are looking for some art to look at please visit Boynton Beach.

Lawrence We have created a walking tour map of all the art places in Palm Beach County.

Residents and visitors can download the map and try to see all the public art we have in the County.

11

Pesquera We have a strategic alliance with Brightline and have a tremendous presence in the stations and on the trains. The new arrangement will give us an opportunity to do activations that may extend Art Basel.

Two Minutes Update – Jorge Pesquera

Pesquera Destination Analyst predicts we are going to have strong demand over the next 12 months. The number one and two travel destinations are beaches and small towns. We have a Fly PBI campaign to drive traffic to our airport. We have a billboard right outside FLL airport saying Fly PBI. We are taking over part of Grand Central Station in New York City and we see this as a great way to boost our season.

December is the first month we are buying our own digital media directly from the open exchange. This will increase our performance and buying power. Our meetings sector campaign “Between the Sessions” is getting rave reviews. We are the recipient of a Travvy Award the “Best Honeymoon Destination” in the both the U.S. and Canada. Visit Florida staged a sales mission to Colombia, and we participated. Colombia has become the third most important market from an international point of view for Florida.

Cavers Opportunities and leads coming into the destination are at the same level as what we saw in 2019, however, the groups coming in are about 30% – 40% smaller. This is due not just to COVID but also the growth of hybrid meetings. We are targeting financial insurance technology firms and we just won a cryptocurrency event coming in May and will generate over 6000 room nights. The team has been attending trade shows and recently met with the National Coalition of Black Meeting Planners and we will be bidding on their annual conference in 2024. We are looking at bringing the community into play and to that end the Ellis Center for Autism will be speaking about creating welcoming environments for meetings and events and how we execute that here in the Palm Beaches. We will be talking about health and wellness between the sessions and that will be at PCMA and we will have the founder of Orange Theory which is based in Boca speaking.

Finally, we will be teaming up with the West Palm Police Association and Hilton Hotel to give toys away to needy families.

BOARD COMMENTS Commissioner Romelus Thanks to Glenn for the recent report for the recovery efforts from within our agencies. I know it’s been really difficult these past few years. Thank you for the reports.

Bronstien Do you have any status of a possible Pedestrian Bridge over Okeechobee Blvd.? How does that ever get anywhere?

Pesquera That is part of the recommendations from the CSL Convention Center expansion study.

This study was presented last Summer, and it’s one of the key points.

Commissioner Shoaf It will be a controversial issue in West Palm Beach. There are some who disagree just with it from a multi-model perspective. I do not know which way it would go.

Commissioner Sachs It is a county, city, or state road?

Baker

13

This is a state road. No one is going to pay for the full amount. At least we started that discussion along with a couple of other things and we can tie all of them together. I started that discussion with the Mayor as well as the city administrator. We will continue to move forward. And I did have to remind Related that they need to be at the table with us.

Commissioner Romelus I don’t think it should be just one. It should be a shared cost because all of us would benefit.

Commissioner Sachs Are you talking about the three governments: city, County, and state?

Baker No, we are talking city, county and Related. That is not something that has always been on the table. All of the parties are aware of it. Related has some sketches done and they pulled back. The issue has been with the city more than anything because everybody’s got a different vision of what should happen. We are working with the mayor on it as we continue to grow that particular area.

Bronstien It seems like we are the most desiring group. This is something we can bring to the agenda, make sure every two or three months it is on the agenda to keep the ball rolling?

Commissioner Shoaf From this point of view, my job is to make those connections and the administrator has had those conversations with the mayor and has to continue to have those conversations in order for it to get anywhere through administration. It’s not something as a commissioner I can move forward, not like a Board of County Commissioner and their governmental system, it has to come from the top down. It’s my understanding the mayor was open to having a discussion group. The previous administration was not at the table. This administration is willing to consider, and I think it’s just a matter of that among a million other issues that the city and county have to work together.

Pesquera I have to say that from this group of people here. There are two other groups that are very interested. One are our meeting planners, customers that are saying to us again, if you don’t build something, we can’t come, we won’t. And I may add our residents want this.

14

Commissioner Shoaf I will stop you there because it’s not all our residents that wanted it. This is not a layup issue. All the residents don’t want it, and that’s the place, and respectfully, I don’t think your meetings are saying we’re never coming to West Palm Beach again.

Pesquera We have a customer advisory board, that has told us on a number of occasions: build the pedestrian overpass because that’s a critically important piece for us to book a place of business in here. As a resident of West Palm Beach also, it is a challenge to get across all seven lanes of traffic. There’s something to be said about listening to our customers and getting this thing accomplished because it’s been a long time.

Commissioner Sachs I will suggest that we agenda this and keep on the agenda every time we have a meeting to get a progress report. And Commissioner Shoaf it is not your responsibility to get to the mayor. Our county administrator is talking to the city mayor. And probably that is the level that it should stay. We could write a letter to those powers that be in the county and in the city, expressing our interest from all of the different perspectives of our job. It is important that we at least write a formal letter and agenda this for next time? We should make it in terms of a motion to have this formal letter sent to the two government entities.

Baker The county government is in favor of it.

Commissioner Shoaf It is not that residents don’t want it. In their minds a pedestrian overpass is what you see going from a hospital parking lot over to the hospital, and they don’t want to see that up over Okeechobee Boulevard.

Commissioner Sachs Let’s keep it on the agenda for next month and we will discuss whether we should have a formal letter from this group to the two government entities.

Lawrence This is the opportunity for this to be a piece of public art that could really sway a lot of minds, and everybody talks about the Chicago Bean. This could be our Bean.

15

Pesquera And that is the recommendation in the Convention Center District Report to make this a unique, attractive connector, not a mundane overpass like the ones we see between hospital parking lots and hospitals. But make it a unique piece that really creates an entryway into the cities of West Palm Beach and Palm Beach.

Baker This has been always the vision to be a piece of art, a statement coming into the downtown West Palm area that has not strayed. Not one bit. You’re right, the former mayor was opposed to it. The Mayor, when he sat on this board, was in support of it and didn’t have heartburn, and he was open to the discussion. Last week when we had the meeting, I can tell you he’s willing to put it on the agenda on your council meeting.

Commissioner Shoaf This is what I can commit to this board as well. I’ll follow up from an internal city perspective and see if it’s an agenda item that the mayor would consider doing it an internal city workshop on top of that with commissioners to see what kind of support he has internally from commissioners. It’s up to the mayor, whether he puts it in the agenda or not.

Baker And if he does that, then we’re happy to come and provide a presentation on what we envision. I will solicit Related to come to the table because it’s going to benefit them as well. And it’s a triparty deal that we should be talking about. Not one single entity.

Commissioner Romelus I think just from what I’m hearing, it should be pitched as a public private partnership.

And that it wouldn’t be just the residents bearing the cost of it that way.

Commissioner Sachs I love the idea. The entrance to the city, that’s really very good.

PUBLIC COMMENTS Cross I am Jody Cross from the Florida Restaurant and Lodging Association we are having a student showcase on Monday at the Wyndham Grand in Jupiter with one hundred and 16

fifty kids from the local high schools will meet with hotel and restaurant owners. The two tracks, we are really trying to engage the students locally. How to get into the hospitality industry. Because retention is our number one issue in recruitment so anybody could join us, please come out.

Amidon I am Roger Amidon General Manager of Palm Beach Marriott and former Executive Director of TDC. Yesterday at the Port of Palm Beach the announcement was made that the Margaritaville Paradise, the former Grand Classica, will launch service on April 30, so that’s getting pretty exciting. Margaritaville Resorts & Hotels will operate a cruise brand in 2022, and announced a partnership with Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line.

Some great branding for our areas.

Jergensen The Boca Bowl game will be at 11:00 A.M. on the 18th, but we are starting the week off on Tuesday the 14th when the teams will arrive around 3:00 P.M and we will have the luncheon on Friday, the 17th at Palm Beach Convention Center at noon time. If you are looking to come, please contact Joan and me. Let us know you want to join us. We will make sure you get a ticket for the TDC tables and then certainly on Saturday is the game day. Fan Fest starts at 9:00 A.M., kick off at 11:00 A.M. ESPN is seriously looking at putting us back to Tuesday night in the future. George and I had a conversation with Doug Mosley about this.

I have a little something I want to give, after twenty-one years of service to the Tourist Development Council, Mr. Ernie has decided to go to greener pastures.

ADJOURNMENT Meeting adjourned at 11:30 A.M. There is NO Meeting in January as Palm Beach County Days occur in that week.

This equates to a projection of $33,823,239 in hotel revenue generated (actual ADR used for October – December room nights and last year’s ADR used for January – March projected room nights). The tourism production for this period reflects the continued comeback for sports events in The Palm Beaches. Unfortunately, the cancellation of Major League Baseball (MLB) Spring Training Games has created a large void of sports related room nights that was expected to be realized this March.

The Palm Beach County Sports Commission’s events from October 1, 2021, through March 30, 2022, is projected to grow by 21.7% in room nights, year over year. During this timeframe last year, our Sports Commission experienced a devasting Q1 (October -December), which rebounded immensely in FY 22.

Sports Commission FY22, Event Production (October 1, 2021 – March 30, 2022)  97 events  146,465 room nights (forecast)  21.7% increase over same period in FY 21, (26,151 room night increase year over year) Sports Commission FY 21, Event Production (October 1, 2020 – March 30, 2021)  67 events  120,314 room nights

Sports-Development Sports Development Executive Summary In FY 22, the Palm Beach County Sports Commission (PBCSC) is deploying an aggressive sales and sports development effort to grow the number of sports tourisms generating events taking place in The Palm Beaches. The PBCSC continues to cultivate relationships with event owners, as well as identify, solicit, secure, and retain sports events to grow room night actualization. Below is a recap of sports development efforts that have taken place during the month of February.

Gauntlet of Polo Kicks Off Action-Packed February for Palm Beach County Palm Beach County, FLA. – The United States Polo Association (USPA) and International Polo Club Palm Beach (IPC), in partnership with the Palm Beach County Sports Commission, have once again brought the Gauntlet of Polo, the world’s most prestigious series of polo tournaments, back to Palm Beach County. The 2022 slate of competition features three top-tier high-goal polo tournaments with the C.V. Whitney Cup (February 7-27), USPA Gold Cup (March 1-27), and U.S. Open Polo Championship (March 29-April 24).

Established in 2019, the Gauntlet of Polo has quickly garnered a reputation as one of the most thrilling and lucrative events in Palm Beach County. The prize money distribution for the 2022 season guarantees a total of $200,000. $50,000 will be awarded to each of the winning teams of the C.V. Whitney Cup and USPA Gold Cup. Similarly, $100,000 in prize money will be presented to the winner of the U.S. Open Polo Championship® and any team that wins all three tournaments will be crowned the Gauntlet Champion. In keeping with the spirit of philanthropy, U.S. Polo Assn. will provide a $2,500 donation to the winner and runner-up teams of all three finals to be donated to a polo charity of their choice.

Showcasing nine competitive high-goal teams and nine 10-goal players, the Gauntlet of Polo brings together the world’s best polo players and their incredible horses for three months of nonstop action. Hoping to start the 2022 season off strong with consecutive titles, 2021 C.V. Whitney Cup defending champions Park Place will return with a new addition to their roster. Challengers also vying for the Gauntlet include the inaugural and reigning Gauntlet champions, Pilot, as well as new teams La Fe and Dutta Corp/Show+. Making a strong debut as an 18-goal team, La Fe has reached both the Iglehart Cup and Ylvisaker Cup Finals.

The start of the Gauntlet of Polo marked the beginning of a loaded slate of professional sports this February in Palm Beach County. Also calling The Palm Beaches home this month are the ATP Tour’s Delray Beach Open and the PGA Tour’s The Honda Classic.

“The Palm Beach County Sports Commission is thrilled to welcome back the Gauntlet of Polo for what is sure to be three ultra-competitive polo tournaments that comprise the most coveted title in the sport,” said George Linley, Executive Director of the Palm Beach County Sports Commission. “This prestigious event brings the world’s best polo players and their fans to The Palm Beaches and ultimately creates a tremendous economic impact for our region’s hospitality industry.”

Last year, equestrian sports in Palm Beach County generated a significant economic impact. Over $279 million and 2,880 jobs were contributed to the Palm Beach County economy from equestrian events.

IPC, the host venue for the event, is a premier polo destination hosting the most prestigious tournaments in the United States with some of the world’s highest-ranked players. The centerpiece of the winter polo season, and spanning nearly 250 acres, IPC is the largest spectator-friendly polo facility in the U.S. Events such as the Gauntlet of Polo, U.S. Open of Polo, Gay Polo League, and Gladiator Polo attest to its eminence in the world of equestrian sports. But the venue offers much more than horseplay: Its seven polo fields can be converted into 47 multipurpose fields, which are ideal for rugby, field hockey, lacrosse, football, soccer and more. The USA Field Hockey National Hockey Festival, American Youth Soccer Organization National Soccer Games, International Women’s Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association Presidents Cup, and the Rugged Rugby Tour have all been played at IPC. In 2017, the Florida Sports Foundation named IPC the “Large Market Sports Venue of the Year.” Created with players and fans in mind, the stadium welcomes nearly 800 spectators, with an additional 1,028 box seats, and features 7,000 square feet of indoor usable floor space.

Johnson History Museum Honors Black History Month with Special Exhibit, “More than a Game: Champions in the Midst of Desegregation Presented by the Historical Society of Palm Beach County and the Palm Beach County Sports Commission PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. -- The Richard and Pat Johnson Palm Beach County History Museum, in partnership with the Palm Beach County Sports Commission is proud to present its Black History exhibit, More than a Game: Champions in the Midst of Desegregation, which runs through February 26, 2022, in the courtroom of the 1916 Historic Court House in downtown West Palm Beach. The Palm Beach County Sports Commission is proud to support this exhibit which recognizes one of Palm Beach County's most important sports moments.

The 1967-1968 basketball season of Roosevelt Junior-Senior High School in West Palm Beach was history in the making.

Coach Floyd Andrews led an exceptional team to an undefeated season and the first state title during integrated play, which only began with the district tournament. Roosevelt was the center of a tight-knit community with high standards for their children and racism was not an excuse. In 1970, the school would close as part of the process of desegregation first ordered by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1954.

About the Exhibit and Events: Exhibit January 3 - February 26, 2022 Also on view is the video of a related group oral history recorded by the HSPBC in 2021.

Virtual Panel Discussion: February 3, 2022, at 5:30 pm – Media are invited to attend this discussion of the 19671968 season and life in 1960s West Palm Beach.

Malachi Knowles Named Junior Golf Director for the Sunshine State Amateur Golfers Association PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. -- Malachi Knowles, a Palm Beach County Sports Hall of Fame member and the founder of Inner-City Youth Golfers, Inc. has been named as the Junior Golf Director for the Sunshine State Amateur Golfers Association (SSAGA). The SSAGA is the only principally African American statewide association of male and female golfers in the United States. Nine clubs currently comprise the association and approximately 1,000 golfers of all ethnicities from Daytona Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Fort Pierce, Miami (two clubs), Orlando, Titusville, Sebring and West Palm Beach.

With the support of the SSAGA Board of Directors, Malachi is on a mission to "grow the game of golf through its current member clubs and start or partner with existing programs in other cities such as Tampa, Naples/Ft. Myers, St. Petersburg, Sarasota, Lakeland, Pensacola, Tallahassee, and St. Augustine to form the membership."

Malachi Knowles has been involved in the game of golf since he was 10 years old when he began working as the “shag boy” at Everglades Country Club in Palm Beach. Knowles went on to attend Morgan State College in Baltimore, Maryland.

At Morgan State, he worked with the athletic director to establish a golf team in 1960 that he captained for three years.

After graduation, he went on to become the first African American to graduate with a master’s degree in regional and city planning from the University of Oklahoma. Knowles would go on to hold several executive positions with the government from 1965 to 1991.

In 1993, he returned to his home, Riviera Beach, Fla to found Inner-City Youth Golfers at JFK Middle Magnet School with a mission of combining golf and education to positively impact local youth. In 2004, he founded the African American Golfers Hall of Fame and later - the African American Collegiate & Youth Golfers Hall of Fame - all based in Riviera Beach, Fla. to provide future generations of golfers with role models within the sport. He was inducted into the Palm Beach County Sports Hall of Fame in 2016. He currently serves on the Palm Beach County Sports Commission Board of Directors.

Black golfers were having problems playing organized golf in the state of Florida in the early 1970s. In 1972, Robert Saffold of Sebring, Florida, talked with several Black golfers regarding the formation of a statewide organization that would welcome all Black golfers and allow them to participate in friendly tournament competitions.

Included among this pioneering group of Black golfers were Ed Henry, Ernest King, James Hastie, Danny Sutton, Eddie Postell, Leonard Wilson, and Robert Saffold. This distinguished list of golfers noted that several cities in Florida at that time had organized tournaments such as Tampa (Rogers Park), Jacksonville (Moncrief), Ocala (Compton #2), and Miami (North/South at Miami Springs). They opened discussions that led to this concept turning into a reality.

This initial group's preliminary discussions led them to invite others to the planning sessions. Participation in these initial stages constituted the formation of a central planning body and the birth of a coalition called the Sunshine State Golfers Association. The organization officially registered with the state of Florida as a not-for-profit corporation under the name Sunshine State Amateur Golfers Association, Inc. in 1984. In 1989, the group received its 501(c)(3) tax exemption certificate from the Internal Revenue Service.

The Sports Business Club of the Palm Beaches To Hold Baseball Panel at Next Meeting Palm Beach County, Fla. -- It’s been over 50 years since the Miami Dolphins became the first South Florida professional sports franchise in 1965. After all those decades of dreams and hope, the original South Florida Sports Authority was created to use sports as an economic development tool to bring the region together. From its northern outpost, Palm Beach County became an epicenter of sports in a very short period, as the entire region grew with four major league professional sports franchises, eleven Super Bowls, two baseball world championships, NBA superstardom, and other major sports, golf, and tennis events.

Pat Rooney and Rick Horrow have come together to Co-Chair and create The Sports Business Club of the Palm Beaches, the first of its kind in the region to celebrate and explore all components of the 50 years of the sports business in The Palm Beaches. The first event in November featured local sports and economic development leaders; the second in early January highlighted the golf business in South Florida; the third on February 1 focused on NHL, NFL, and college football.

The fourth event will be held on March 7 at 11 a.m. at the Palm Beach Kennel Club Paddock Room in West Palm Beach. It will feature all aspects of baseball: the labor and business issues; economic impact on the South Florida region; Spring Training past, present, and future; and long-term business trends for America’s Pastime.

One of the featured speakers is Bob DuPuy, a partner in the New York office of Foley & Lardner, LLP and serves in its Sports and Entertainment group. Prior to rejoining Foley as a partner in 2011, he served as President and Chief Operating Officer of Major League Baseball. During his tenure at MLB he served as the initial CEO of MLB Advanced Media and Chairman of its Board from its inception in 2001 through 2010. Bob is also the Lead Contributor in my “The Sport Business Handbook: Insights From 100+ Leaders Who Shaped 50 Years of the Industry,” to be reissued as a post-pandemic business encyclopedia this Summer.

The future events of The Sports Business Club of the Palm Beaches will include a basketball presentation on April 4 (the Final Four Championship Monday), a reveal of the top 50 sports moments in Palm Beach County sports history in May, and other programs through the year.

The tickets will be available at the door and Eventbrite for $20 which includes a buffet from 11 a.m.-12 p.m. and the event from 12-1p.m. We will also link the interviews and details to my “Boardroom” show on ESPN South Florida from 6-7 p.m. every Wednesday evening.

FILM FLORIDA PODCAST SEASON 4 March Guests: - Frank Licari, Actor / TV Host / Writer / Producer / Director - Chris Dudley, Composer & Multi-Instrumentalist

An exciting and informative new series, America’s First Resort Destination, is joining The Palm Beaches.TV lineup! Palm Beach is often called America’s First Resort Destination because American industrialist Henry Flagler, built the railroad that brought vacationing Americans from the north down to the warm Florida beaches.

He developed hotel properties right on the water’s edge – an innovation for that time. What ultimately became The Breakers resort was one of the first properties built to host sun-seeking guests over a century ago. This new series will explore the histories of the earliest influencers, like Flagler and architect Addison Mizner. Henry Flagler Keli Ferguson, sports anchor for local network affiliates WPTV and FOX 29, hosts the show. “ I love exploring the history, people and architecture of The Palm Beaches and how Palm Beach County became America's First Resort Destination! It was paradise then and is still paradise now!" Future episodes will find Keli enjoying a bicycle tour along Worth Avenue, Palm Beach island’s most glamorous shopping district; visiting unique architectural structures; sampling delicious dishes, and exploring the many dynamic attractions that make The Palm Beaches a true resort destination.

The three-episode series is produced by Jeff Aderman at AA Video “Capturing the beautiful scenery, historic structures and unique amenities of our area has been a special thrill. The Palm Beaches is a playground for every traveler, budget and interest,” says Aderman. “I’m delighted to deliver these segments to viewers. Keli is the perfect host and storyteller.”

America’s First Resort Destination will air on Discovery Channel’s Destination America this summer as well as ThePalmBeaches.TV

SHARK ADVENTURE TO PROTECT FISH Josh Jorgensen, born in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, has quickly become one of the world's most popular fishing stars on social media. In 2003, his family bought a condo in South Florida and the fascination with fishing blossomed.

Josh starting catching sharks on the beach, and his only evidence was photographs that people back home did not believe he caught. That is when he started filming videos and posting them on YouTube and in 2008, BlacktipH Fishing was born. Josh, now a Jupiter, Florida resident takes fishing to a whole other level in what he says is “making it more about the adventure than catching a specific fish.”

Jeff Glor with CBS Saturday Morning recently spent a day at sea with Josh and learned that not only does he love fishing and catching big sea monsters, but he also cares about the conversation of our oceans, making sure we focus on the water quality and have more sustainable fishing regulations. Join Josh and Jeff on a wild adventure at cbsnews.com/video/josh-jorgensen-on-protectionand-preservation-of-fish.

LOCATION SPOTLIGHT FOUNTAINS IN THE PALM BEACHES Fountains come in all shapes and sizes and create a community gathering place. Several fountains have been incorporated into public spaces in Palm Beach County and range from antique and traditional to modern and contemporary.

Rosemary Square presents the best of both worlds with the historic fountain near the Harriett Himmel Theater and the playful interactive maze known as the Water Pavilion with intersecting rings that create walls of water.

Rosemary Square Another interactive modern fountain is found at Centennial Square. During the day it’s a splash pad that kids can enjoy and when the sun goes down, the space comes alive with LED lighting and music.

Centennial Square

Mizner Park

You’ll find an elaborate tall fountain at Mizner Park, used as the centerpiece of the shopping district. The fountain is complemented by a blue gazebo and lush tropical landscaping, and has hosted countless commercials and still photography projects.

Production Activity Report For January 2022 Variance Explanations Percentage change variances of ± 10% in performance statistics are explained in this section.

Historical Context (COVID-19): Please refer to the March 2020 - December 2021 Production Activity Reports for a full timeline of the pandemic’s impact on Palm Beach County’s production industry.

1. Total Productions: A 17% decrease in Total Productions is due to the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. While production business steadily increased in Palm Beach County throughout 2021, resulting in the second-most record-breaking year for total permits issued since the Film Commission’s creation in 1989, January 2022 was met with the challenge of the Omicron Variant. Florida continues to be a consistent draw for productions coming from states with ongoing shutdowns and restrictions, but several permits that were requested, approved and even issued for filming in January 2022 had to cancel or postpone due to crew members testing positive for the Omicron Variant. For most of those cancellations, the FTC has received indications that the productions will reschedule in future months.

2. Total Leads: A 23% decrease in Lead Conversions is directly correlated with the decrease in Total Productions explained above. While Total Leads were up 3% for January 2022, many that had planned to take place in the same month were forced to postpone due to the Omicron Variant’s impact on production schedules.

3. Website Unique Visitors: A 38% decrease in Website Unique Visitors is due primarily to quality control measures that are in place on the FTC’s new website, which launched in October 2021. Spam blockers and filters built into the state-of-the-art platform have prevented significant junk users and bots. Additionally, the FTC built the permit application, location database, and Student Showcase of Films application process to be more efficient, which has decreased the need for repeat visits and multiple submissions. The decrease in production business is also a factor, given that many productions were forced to postpone the permitting process due to the Omicron Variant. The FTC is seeking out methods to actively pursue increased Website Unique Visitors in the coming months through strategic social media posts, updating meta tags for optimized SEO, and other pending recommendations from our website designer.

February 2022 Project Status Report Department of Environmental Resources Management Singer Island Dune Restoration: Construction is complete along this 1.3 mile stretch of Florida’s easternmost coastline. The dune project, located between John D. MacArthur Beach State Park and Ocean Reef Park, placed approximately 31,544 cubic yards of sand transported by truck from an upland sand mine to the project site. Native vegetation will be planted to stabilize the restored dune in early March.

The project took a month and a half to complete, in three phases, with construction access at different points along the shoreline. For more information on ERM beach restoration projects, visit our website at https://discover.pbcgov.org/erm/Pages/Beaches.aspx.

Lake Worth Lagoon Science Symposium: Mark your calendar and call for sponsors for the 2022 Lake Worth Lagoon Science Symposium! The Symposium will be held at the Marina Village Event Center in Riviera Beach on Tuesday, November 15, 2022.

Attendees will gain a clear understanding of the current state of the Lagoon and forthcoming management actions, learn about the unique challenges it faces, and find out how they can be involved in making a difference. Attendees will also learn how the Lagoon’s watershed has an outsized effect on its health and find out about future projects designed to combat habitat loss and degradation. Learn more about the Symposium and sponsorship opportunities at https://conference.ifas.ufl.edu/lagoon/. Questions about the Symposium? Contact MAshton@pbcgov.org.

Manatee Rescue: In early February, ERM staff assisted staff from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) in a rescue mission for an injured manatee in Riviera Beach. The underweight manatee was successfully retrieved and safely transported to SeaWorld Orlando for rehabilitation later that evening. ERM will continue to collaborate with FWC and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) in response to unusual mortality events of manatees in Florida. All manatee activities are conducted in accordance with a USFWS permit.

Snook Islands: It’s almost oystercatcher nesting season and the islands where the birds raise their young are now cleared. The habitat at Snook Islands Natural Area was inundated with invasive exotic vegetation, and in January a group of hard working volunteers pulled up the vegetation and piled it on the island. This month, staff from ERM’s prescribed fire team burned the vegetation piles, giving the birds the open habitat they prefer. American oystercatchers usually lay one to three eggs directly on the ground.

The local population has risen over the years from a single pair that arrived in 2005 to over 16 year round residents.

Jupiter Ridge Natural Area: An updated Jupiter Ridge Natural Area management plan was unanimously approved by the State of Florida after a presentation by ERM staff. This is the 3rd update to the plan, which was originally written in 1996. An updated plan is required every 10 years for State-owned property, 266 acres of which is currently leased to and managed by the County.

Pedestrian bridge at convention center is best option for crossing Okeechobee Boulevard, Palm Beach Power Poll shows January 31, 2022 6:00am

By Joe Capozzi Palm Beach, FL Correspondent Palm Beach County influencers side with tourism leaders who want to build a pedestrian bridge at the Palm Beach County Convention Center across Okeechobee Boulevard in downtown West Palm Beach.

Read the Article Join the Discussion Palm Beach County tourism leaders want to revive a controversial plan to build a pedestrian bridge at the Palm Beach County Convention Center across Okeechobee Boulevard in downtown West Palm Beach.

The idea has long been fought and criticized by city leaders and some urban planning experts who say it will be an eyesore that most people won’t use. But a vast majority of Palm Beach Power Poll influencers agree that a footbridge is the best solution for protecting pedestrians who want to cross the busy eight-lane road.

“The convention center’s location near downtown is vital to maintaining the attractability of the area,’’ said Palm Beach Gardens councilman Mark Marciano.

“A pedestrian bridge is critical for safety, enhancing mobility and maintaining traffic flow through the areas. And building a pedestrian bridge will have the least impact (on) the current traffic congestion in the area. It may not be ideal but it will serve the purpose. It can be designed to be visually attractive, too.’’

Tourism leaders want to build a pedestrian bridge across Okeechobee Boulevard, the main road from Interstate 95 to downtown West Palm Beach, linking the Palm Beach County Convention

Center to The Square (CityPlace) shopping district. Do you think that is the best solution for protecting pedestrians who want to cross the busy eight-lane road?

Chart Pie chart with 4 slices.

End of interactive chart.

The poll had a response rate of about 35 percent, and 79 percent supported a pedestrian bridge.

Nearly 30 percent agreed — and more than 70 percent disagreed — that the best way to help pedestrians cross safely is by improving Okeechobee Boulevard with traffic-calming measures and adjusted traffic lights.

“A pedestrian bridge will only take away from the beauty of approaching our city center. Traffic calming with narrow auto lanes, wider pedestrian and bicycle lanes and lots of shade trees is the way to go,’’ said Rick Gonzalez, president and founder, REG Architects. “As someone who drives, bicycles and walks on Okeechobee very frequently,’’ he said, “this is the only way to go.

Examples abound from Paris, to Barcelona to Washington DC.’’ The idea of a pedestrian bridge has been debated since the convention center opened in 2004.

But it never reached a consensus from the various stakeholders. The state owns the boulevard.

The county operates the traffic lights. The city and Related Cos. own parts of the median.

“A pedestrian bridge is a band-aid, and not a tangible solution, which is why it's been discussed for years, yet never practically pursued,’’ said Joseph R Russo, a West Palm Beach tech entrepreneur.

Some urban planners and city officials say most people will not use a pedestrian bridge. They say the best way to help pedestrians cross safely is by improving Okeechobee Boulevard with traffic-calming measures and adjusted traffic lights. Do you agree?

Tourism leaders renewed the call for a bridge during a TDC meeting on Dec. 9. Less than a week later, a 4-year-old boy was injured when he was struck by a hit-and-run driver speeding down the boulevard near the convention center as a traffic light was changing color.

Police concluded the driver was not at fault. But the accident left many to wonder if it may have been avoided if the boy and his family had the option of a pedestrian bridge.

Nearly 40,700 vehicles a day, an average of about one every few seconds, pass the convention center’s north entrance at Rosemary Avenue, according to a 2020 convention center expansion

study, “far outpacing convention district intersections in markets such as Nashville, (TN), San Jose, (CA), and Tampa, (FL).’’

And with more office towers and projects being planned and built downtown, the result will be more cars and more people on and along the boulevard.

“This has been an on-going problem for years. A solution is needed now before more people are injured crossing this major road,’’ said Patrick J. Franklin, president of the Urban League of Palm Beach County.

Tourism leaders don’t want an ordinary bridge, like those connecting parking garages to hospitals and courthouses. They envision a bridge that would double as a bold work of art offering a signature at the gateway to downtown.

What do you think is best solution for helping pedestrians cross Okeechobee Boulevard at the convention center?

“A ‘green’ bridge with art and lovely areas to sit and enjoy the energy of downtown would be both well received and innovative,’’ said Steve Mathison, chairman of the PGA Corridor Association in Palm Beach Gardens.

“We need to invite visitors and locals to an enjoyable experience much as Palm Beach Gardens has made the PGA Boulevard “overpass bridge” a destination and focal point,’’ he said, referring to artwork along PGA as the road elevates over Alternate A1A just east of Interstate 95.

When asked about specific proposals to help pedestrians cross safely, 46 percent favored just a bridge. Only 14 percent supported traffic calming as the only solution while 8 percent supported the idea of a tunnel or underpass. Twenty-eight percent supported either a bridge or tunnel along with traffic-calming measures.

“A traffic tunnel similar to the one in Fort Lauderdale needs to be part of the conversation, even if it’s a longer term plan,’’ said former West Palm Beach city commissioner Kimberly Mitchell.

“Pedestrian safety and enjoyment needs to rule the day here, not cars.’’

Has it been worth the traffic and other difficulties to have a convention center on a busy boulevard near the heart of downtown rather than in the suburbs or closer to the airport as some officials suggested in the debates before it was built?

Despite the safety issues, 69 percent said they are glad the convention center is downtown rather than in the suburbs or closer to the airport as some officials had suggested in debates before it was built.

“It is a bit late to be planning pedestrian bridge overpasses as it should have been part of the master plan to integrate all the properties with a required contribution to constructing interconnected walkways connecting all developments,’’ said former Congressman Mark Foley.

Russo was blunt in his assessment of the conditions pedestrians around the convention center must deal with when crossing the boulevard. “It's unsafe, and we failed at planning,’’ he said.

“The most reasonable solution is also the most costly. An underpass for vehicles with an elevated park and pedestrian plaza, aligned with similar projects in cities like Dallas and Atlanta,’’ he said.

“We have to throw out the playbook on this one and think boldly.’’

Kimberly Mitchell January 25, 2022 9:13pm Executive Director, Everglades Trust a traffic tunnel similar to the one in Ft. Lauderdale needs to be a part of the conversation, even if it's a longer term plan. Pedestrians safety and enjoyment needs to rule the day here, not cars.

Mr. Steve Mathison January 25, 2022 7:14pm Chairman, PGA Corridor Association A “green” bridge with art and lovely areas to sit and enjoy the energy of downtown would be both well received and innovative. We need to “invite” visitors and locals to an enjoyable experience much as Palm Beach Gardens has made the PGA Blvd “overpass bridge” a destination and focal point.

Mark Marciano January 25, 2022 12:44pm Mayor, Palm Beach Gardens City Council The convention center's location near downtown is vital to maintaining the attractability of the area. A pedestrian bridge is critical for safety, enhancing mobility and maintaining traffic flow through the area. And building a pedestrian bridge will have the least impact to the current traffic congestion in the area. It may not be ideal, but it will serve the purpose. It can be designed to be visually attractive, too.

Mr. Joseph R. Russo January 25, 2022 10:44am I'm a 3-year resident of downtown, and would never recommend anyone cross Okeechobee Blvd.

It's unsafe, and we failed at planning.

A pedestrian bridge is a band-aid, and not a tangible solution. Which is why it's been discussed for years, yet never practically pursued.

The most reasonable solution is also the most costly. An underpass for vehicles with an elevated park and pedestrian plaza, aligned with similar projects in cities like Dallas and Atlanta.

We have to throwout the playbook on this one, and think boldly.

Mr. Sid Dinerstein January 25, 2022 9:22am Look! Something we can all agree on. And it won't break the bank. Yes, a pedestrian bridge will help all who are intimidated by our ever increasing traffic flow. Let's do it before people make it more complicated and much more expensive. And please don't calm the flow. This is downtown.

Accept it or find another place to play in traffic.

Mr. Rick Gonzalez January 25, 2022 8:21am President and Founder, REG Architects A pedestrian bridge will only take away from the beauty of approaching our city center. Traffic calming with narrow auto lanes, wider pedestrian and bicycle lanes and lots of shade trees is the way to go. As someone who drives, bicycles and walks on Okeechobee very frequently this is the only way to go! Examples abound from Paris, to Barcelona to Washington DC.
