South Florida Town May Soon Have Two Trump Streets
As a town of just 1.5 square miles, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea in Broward County has a limited number of streets. However, the town with only about 6,000 permanent residents could soon have two streets named after President Donald Trump.
House Bill (HB) 33, which would designate a portion of Commercial Boulevard between West Tradewinds Avenue and Ocean Boulevard in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea President Donald J. Trump Boulevard, passed the Florida House of Representatives last week and now awaits Senate approval, paving the way for another Trump-dedicated street in the area. If passed, the bill would go into effect in July 2026.
The Department of Transportation is directed to erect suitable markers designating the transportation facilities as described in this section, the bill reads.
At a contentious town meeting last September, the Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Town Commission approved the addition of President Donald J. Trump Drive to Sea Grape Drive in a 3-2 vote. Commissioner Richard DeNapoli, the items sponsor, claimed adding Trumps name would be a boon for tourism.
