"An iguana-themed bridge over the C-15 canal is part of a Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council plan for revitalizing northern Boca Raton. The reptilian bridge, in planners' eyes, would create a striking entryway from Delray Beach into Boca Raton and would honor the scaly creatures that inhabit the banks of many canals throughout the city...not everyone is sure that green iguanas are the right creatures to match with Boca Raton's pink-tinged image."
