Federal Highway SUMMARY: The property at 1101 N. Federal Highway, Boynton Beach, FL is located at the NW corner of E. Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard and N. Federal Highway (see Attachments I-II). The property is within the Federal Highway District and serves as the eastern entry to the Heart of Boynton District on the Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard Corridor. The City of Boynton Beach obtained 1101 N. Federal Highway through a Certificate of Title due to the structure being deemed unsafe. The City demolished the building on September 23, 2023, and transferred the vacant lot to the CRA on October 17, 2023. The property has always been a desirable acquisition for the CRA for the use as an entry feature on Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard. Additionally, the Unity Project worked to develop a mural for the south facing wall of the adjacent building (see Attachment III). Now that the property is vacant, it provides an unobstructed view for the mural. The property improvement could include lighting for the mural at night and provide a park like setting. The entryway could also feature walkways, landscaping and sitting areas in which to admire the mural. At the March 21, 2024 meeting, the CRA Board directed staff to hire a consultant to work on conceptual plans for the project (see Attachment IV). On August 8, 2024, the CRA entered into a consultant agreement with AW Architects Inc. to provide consulting architectural services including design, construction documents, bidding assistance (if needed), permitting and construction administration services for an Entry Feature Park. Staff met with AW Architects on August 22nd and again on September 4th to discuss three conceptual design concepts for the vacant lot. Representatives from AW Architects attended the November 21, 2024, Board Meeting to present three conceptual ideas (see Attachment V). At the conclusion of the meeting, the CRA Board directed staff to use the December 5th CRAB meeting as an opportunity to gather additional public input. Staff will present the three designs followed by Board discussion. There will also be an opportunity for public comment. 264 •Attachment I - Location Map •Attachment II - Pictures of Vacant Lot •Attachment III - Pictures of the Mural •Attachment IV - March 21, 2024 Board Meeting Minutes •Attachment V - AW Architects MLK Entry Feature Presentation At the end of discussion, the CRAB recommendation will be summarized by the Chair and provided to the CRA Board at the February 11, 2025 meeting.

The entry feature will revitalize the intersection of N. Federal Hwy. and E. MLK Jr. Blvd., bringing people of all ages and color into the dream. The featured artwork can be viewed as pedestrians walk through the entry feature which has garden areas and stone pebble seating sprinkled throughout. At the center and apex of the path is the “EYE,” which offers optimal viewing of the art wall. The “EYE” is a reference to MLK Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" quote, and the seating within the "EYE" are inscribed with the words "Dream," "Love," "Hope," "Unify," and "Believe." The stage area at the feature wall can be used for future events/ performances.

The mural, which also serves as a performance space, is the focal point of the project. Visitors follow a pathway designed to reflect MLK’s fight against segregation. The pavers begin with a single dominant style and gradually blend different colors and patterns as one approaches the mural, symbolizing the journey from segregation to unity. Benches throughout the site feature metal plates with Dr. King’s most iconic quotes, arranged chronologically, guiding visitors through his life’s work and showing along with the pavers the effect his work had in the fight for unity. This entry feature serves as a place of reflection, community, and celebration of Dr. King’s enduring legacy of justice and equality. 286 V2 - TOP VIEW 287 BLOCK A LOT 1 BLOCK A LOT 2 (OCCUPIED)97°37'30"8 2°2 2'3 0"' NE 10TH AVE (ASPHALT PAVEMENT) (MARTIN LUTHER KING JR BLVD.) 66' R/W (ASPHALT PAVEMENT)E LINE LOT 1102.86' (M&P)33.89' (M&P)44.39' (M&P)ELECTRIC ENERGY CONCRETE LIGHT POLE (TYP.)

A natural buffer serves as a border between the train and the entry feature as well as a butterfly garden of Florida native and drought-resistant flowers. Visi- tors will also find quotes from King’s “I Have A Dream” speech and his address at Spelman College throughout the site. Overall, the entry feature project fosters a warm and unifying atmosphere. 294 V3 - TOP VIEW 295 BLOCK A LOT 1 BLOCK A LOT 2 (OCCUPIED)97°37'30"8 2 ° 2 2 ' 3 0 " ' NE 10TH AVE (ASPHALT PAVEMENT) (MARTIN LUTHER KING JR BLVD.) 66' R/W (ASPHALT PAVEMENT)E LINE LOT 1102.86' (M&P)33.89' (M&P)44.39' (M&P)ELECTRIC ENERGY CONCRETE LIGHT POLE (TYP.)
