    Just caught a segment on WPTV News regarding detours and road closures along Flagler Drive in Palm Beach. Local residents have been complaining about excessive commute times due to road construction and the boat show is compounding the problem. To anyone attending the show, give yourself some extra time.

    Actually both Y
    The Brightline and Tri Rail have a station about 2 blocks from the Palm Beach show. It is by far, the best way to get there.

    Best route is:
    From 95, take Okeechobee East exit.
    Then get on Australian North, then East on Banyan.
    This route takes you right to several parking garages and lots.
    I usually park in the lot or garage just before the tracks.
    When it's time to leave, it's a quick exit back to 95.

    Brightline prices are ridiculous now!! Used to be worth it, maybe if coming from FLL, but if you live closer, not so much.

    Tri-rail is almost as fast from Lauderdale, more stops to get on, and really easy. I don't know why so many people avoid it. It's VERY convenient for the PB boat show and the PB stop is a block North of the Brightline's station. Both a 2 block walk from the show.
