Palmetto Bay Home Prepares for Halloween
October 15th, 2011 Categories: Community News, Palmetto Bay
This has got to be the most creative use I’ve ever seen for nature’s leftovers. This Palmetto Bay home has giant ghosts floating playfully under their oak tree. Except these ghosts aren’t made of sheets, plastic bags or crumpled up anything. They are cleverly cut from the Royal Palm fronds that have fallen off the tree.
The palm fronds lend themselves naturally to this whimsical project. They have that flowing fabric look. You just trim the top round, paint them white and add black eyes and mouths and you’re good to go! I LOVE these!

Palmetto Bay Mayor Sued
August 19th, 2010 Categories: Community News, Palmetto Bay
Palmetto Bay Mayor Flinn was sued yesterday for not resigning his post as mayor before entering the race for County Commissioner.
The suit was filed by attorney Stephen Cody, a 30 year veteran of election law. According to Cody, one cannot be in office while running for a different office when one may end up serving both positions at the same time.
The lawsuit comes just days before the election. Palmetto Bay residents are left wondering why this is happening now. There will be an emergency hearing this afternoon to determine if his candidacy will be disqualified. Read more details here.

Old Cutler Road Construction Will Cause Delays
July 12th, 2010 Categories: Community News, Palmetto Bay
Palmetto Bay and Cutler Bay residents who use Old Cutler Road please note that it will be shut down at the end of July for construction. The South Florida Water Management District will be installing a flow-way tunnel beneath Old Cutler Road and this will impact the stretch between SW 156th Street and SW 162nd Street.
The road will be open to local traffic only. If you don’t live in the area, make plans for a different route during construction. SFWMD has stated that the project will take two weeks only and it is slated to begin no earlier than July 26th. Utility services and the popular bike path on Old Cutler may be impacted as well so plan accordingly. Click here for more information.

Palmetto Bay Keeps Residents Safe From Lightning
June 16th, 2010 Categories: Community News, Palmetto Bay
The Village of Palmetto Bay has installed a system at one of the village parks to predict when a lightning strike is possible.
The system, aptly named Thor, has been installed at the Palmetto Bay Park (SW 94 Avenue & 175 Street) and will sound a siren to alert parkgoers and nearby residents to seek shelter if a lightning strike is predicted. Read all about it here.
Considering that Florida gets a ton of activity where lightning is concerned, this is a great benefit to area residents. Way to go Palmetto Bay!
Check out this link for tips on staying safe in case of lightning.
