⚠️ Attention Juno Beach cyclists, runners, walkers, and drivers! ⚠️

The Federally Funded "Complete Streets" Program needs your support for the improvement of US1 in Juno Beach.

What is Complete Streets?

Complete Streets is a national strategy to design and operate roadways to enable safe access for all users, including pedestrians, walkers, runners, cyclists, AND motorists! It creates a safer environment by giving each user their own designated spaces to operate.

In 2020, Juno Beach Town Council approved the Complete Streets initiative to enhance safety, traffic flow, and beautify US Highway 1.

Recently, some Council members have expressed opposition to the initiative. This is concerning and we need your support because:

✔️ The State is providing Juno Beach $5 million to improve our section of US1 at NO COST to residents or users.

✔️ This project will improve SAFETY and TRAFFIC FLOW through the town of Juno Beach.

✔️ It WILL NOT affect the existing 4 lanes of traffic or deceleration lanes.

✔️ It WILL add pedestrian and bicycle lanes PLUS landscaping on both the north and south bound lanes of US1.

✔️ It WILL add a safe, alternate route for serious cyclists to ride on US1, alleviating congestion on Ocean Drive caused by pedestrians, walkers, runners, and cyclists.

✔️ This program will SAVE LIVES!

How can you help?
Email your support to Juno Beach Town Clerk, Caitlin Copeland at [email protected].

The Opportunists RAAM veterans, Zach Wolz and Michel Chabot Raced THE FLORIDA 500 (actually 530 miles) as a two person team from Jacksonville to Key West for Our Kids!

You will recognize Zach and Michel from Opportunity's Opportunists Race Across America (RAAM) team. For the past four years, the team participated in RAAM requesting donations for Opportunity as they cycled from Oceanside, CA to Annapolis, MD. RAAM spans over 3000 miles, climbs 175,000 feet, crosses 12 states and finishes at City Dock in Annapolis, Maryland, the east coast sailing mecca.

This year Opportunity does not have a 2023 RAAM team competing so Zach and Michel decided to surprise us by racing the Florida 500, and they came in first place!



We got the play by play details from Zach about how they did it:

What a race! Thank you everyone who came out to cheer us on along the route. There was a huge group at the Juno pier. That made me cry!

I was ready to start conservative and see how the competition was racing but when Michel put in the first attack just after hour one we pinned it for the next 5 hours before settling in. Eventually had a gap of 10+ miles by the halfway point. A few slow downs including having the bridge gates close just as we were approaching the Jupiter Inlet and a couple wrong turns whittled that lead down to less than 4 miles. I’m sure the competition had their fair share of traffic lights and mishaps so we assumed they were working to catch us. So on the gas again leaving downtown Miami. We and the crew worked through all the dark points like when my blood sugar tanked in Ft Pierce and my gut turned bad. While my legs went soft they never really fell apart and I was able to give a decent push towards the end. Finished in 24 hours and 49 minutes.

Always racing for the Opportunity school. They are putting in a new stage for the kids. Let’s help them with a donation!

THANK YOU AND CONGRATULATIONS,
ZACH AND MICHEL!

DONATIONS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME AND PLEASE FEEL FREE TO RECOGNIZE THE OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE OF ZACH AND MICHEL IN 530 MILES IN 24 HOURS 49 MINUTES AND OVERALL FIRST PLACE FINISHERS IN THIS RAAM SANCTIONED EVENT.
