Say NO to High-Rise Towers off East Blue Heron Boulevard
Stop the 25-Story Tower at the corner of Lake Drive and East Blue Heron Blvd.
Next to the Blue Heron Bridge
300 Feet high Docks 30’ and 150’
Why This Project Is Wrong for Our Community
-
Environmental Risk: The Blue Heron Bridge reef is internationally recognized for rare marine life. Increased boat traffic, docks, and shading from tall buildings will harm this fragile ecosystem.
-
Neighborhood Impact: Single-family and small multi-family homes nearby will be shaded most afternoons, losing sunlight in their backyards and living spaces.
-
Phil Foster Park: A beloved swimming, fishing, snorkeling, and diving area used daily by Riviera Beach residents. A massive tower next door will detract from its use and enjoyment.
-
Local Economy: Divers and visitors support local hotels, dive shops, and tourism. Overdevelopment threatens jobs, small businesses, and tax revenue.
-
Traffic & Safety: AIA is one lane each way — already congested. Evacuations during hurricanes would be even more dangerous with added density.
-
Infrastructure Strain: Singer Island relies on one aging sewer line and shared emergency services. Multiple towers will overwhelm capacity.
-
Precedent for More Towers: Approving one 25-story building opens the door for more high-rises across Singer Island.
-
Not Blighted: These lots sold for millions of dollars — they do not qualify as “blighted” under C.R.A. rules.
What You Can Do
