The Florida Department of Transportation is planning to improve Federal Highway between Glades and Yamato roads. The project will take about a year and will also include repaving the pavements; creating bike lanes on the shoulders; median landscaping; putting in curb ramps for the disabled and installing video detection wiring for the red-light cameras the city is planning to install. The project should also improve but not completely solve drainage problems in areas prone to flooding. Bids will be let in February for the actual work, and FDOT will try and minimize disruption to businesses during construction by providing access.
New Law: If a patrol car is pulled over to the side of the road, you have to change to the next lane (away from the stopped vehicle) or slow down to at least 20 mph under the posted speed limit. Every state except Hawaii and Maryland and the D.C. has this law.

Point of personal privilege: I want to thank all my friends who have expressed their condolences on the death of my son Larry in Orlando. He was 45 years old and died in his sleep of a heart condition. He had so many friends and never met a stranger. Everyone instantly gravitated to him by his outgoing personality. He founded and was the president of the Central Florida Cleveland Browns Fan Club and built it up to thousands of members, all gathering together on a Sunday afternoon to watch the Browns play. He was a graduate of the University of Miami and loved both teams. I like to think that both their wins last Sunday was somewhat due to Larry looking down on his beloved Browns and Canes. Over 200 of you were at my house Sunday and I sincerely appreciated those who took the time to console me and my family. A number of people have asked about a memoriam and donations can be sent to the University of Miami Heart Project at Jackson Memorial Hospital. Keep those you love close and let them know every day how you feel. Life is short, but no parent should have to bury a child. For those who share in my grief, I know how you feel. Hopefully no one else should ever have to know those emotions. Thank you all.
