📰 News we're reading
• West Boca Traffic Projects Moving Along (bocaratontribune.com) — Drivers near Wellington should know that the long-discussed northern extension of Lyons Road remains stalled, even as major widening and intersection projects advance in West Boca. County and state crews are expanding lanes, improving turn movements, and upgrading signals, but officials say the Lyons extension won’t move forward until U.S. 441 reaches maximum capacity, so expect continued congestion and construction detours for now. 
• Fourteen Girls U17 Athletes Named to 2026 Pan Am Cup Roster (usavolleyball.org) — A Wellington outside hitter, Mikayla Matuszko of The King’s Academy, has been named to USA Volleyball’s 14-player Girls U17 roster for the 2026 Pan Am Cup.
