  1. The only way to slow down speeders is to hit their pockets! Get police out there with radar and start writing tickets everyday!! It’s not rocket science.

  2. The South Florida Ave road diet will add to the traffic around the lake and in the historic neighborhoods. Maybe the swans will enjoy the pedestrian area in Dixieland.
