The Boca Raton City Council Workshop held on September 8, 2025, focused on community engagement and traffic concerns related to recent development proposals. Residents expressed their views on the impact of increased traffic in local neighborhoods, particularly in areas surrounding the proposed developments.

During the meeting, a resident raised questions about the type of tennis courts being proposed, noting discrepancies in their appearance and emphasizing the importance of community preferences. This comment highlighted the council's ongoing efforts to engage with residents and address their concerns.

Another resident, Paul Lawson, thanked the council for their willingness to listen to community feedback. He expressed concerns about the projected increase in traffic, citing a previous study that estimated an additional 8,600 trips per day due to the proposed developments. Lawson pointed out that despite adjustments made to reduce residential and retail space, the influx of traffic would still affect neighborhoods like Lake Floresta and Old Floresta, as drivers seek alternative routes to major roads.

The discussions underscored the council's commitment to hearing community voices while navigating the complexities of urban development. As the city moves forward with its plans, the council aims to balance growth with the needs and concerns of its residents.
