This residential and business friendly atmosphere is a livable, attractive, safe, inclusive and sustainable coastal community that embraces the oceanside and riverside as the main amenities, and supports and promotes local tourism, culture, recreation, commerce, municipal civic interests and education. We envision: A City network of"complete streets" with a native-landscaped and tree-lined median with traffic calming elements and dark-sky street lighting. "Complete street" amenities include bicycle facilities, covered transit stops and safe pedestrian crossings that invite pedestrians and bicyclists to access the beach, river, local neighborhoods and adjacent communities. Our improved"complete streets" will allow us to travel calmly to intimate waterfront destinations and a walkable uptown core. Multi-use paths lined with shade trees should be wide enough for bikes and pedestrians and lighted so anyone can walk or bicycle safely anywhere in town, day or night. We envision: Welcoming community entrance features that create a sense of arrival and unique community identity as The Space Between"'. The "uptown" and other areas will contain an architecturally rich and unique mix of uses, with wide tree shaded sidewalks and umbrella covered caf& tables at restaurants and bistros where friends gather, interact and enjoy drinks and dinner. We envision: An engaged and compassionate community that; removes or transforms blighted and unfinished buildings into attractive structures, offers City-wide green spaces, provides a pet-friendly park with ample shade, acts progressively but deliberately and actively recruits and supports businesses that enhance economic viability and serve our residents and visitors with goodwill. We envision: Open shorelines and rivers accessible to the public including amenities that take advantage of the water, such as limited and quaint water-view establishments and intimate public gathering and entertainment places that may include pavilions, gazebos or a performance stage.

Woods ffis(:Aiissimiis INIm"(", I orw"ard Progress continued as the Economic Development Director, Code Enforcement, the City Attorney and the Ocean Woods Homeowners Association (OWHOA) met to discuss the City's vacant Ridgewood Avenue Extension, easements, buffer zone and land clearing. Survey markers prove that the OWHOA natural beach path is outside of the City's property, with the exception of a small portion near the north end. East of this area, the beach path is lawfully located within an access easement throughout the remainder of the City's property and across the neighboring property to the beach. The City is considering divesting itself of the Ridgewood Avenue Extension and OWHOA has requested a portion of the property in order to maintain a vegetative buffer along the path. The surveyor has been tasked by OWHOA to create a survey sketch of the northernmost property boundary. This will be utilized for a land-clearing permit issued by the City to OWHOA to remove an impenetrable overgrowth of Brazilian pepper trees that is significantly affecting the neighborhood's ability to adequately drain stormwater. This will enable the reconstruction of swales and other stormwater system repairs. A condition of the land-clearing permit will require replanting of the buffer zone area to create 80-percent opacity within two years, for the visual enjoyment of both Ocean Woods and abutting Harbor Heights residents. We ask that all parties impacted be patient and understanding of the needs of OWHOA while the work is underway. Oflu"r 1140%li"O%ts "''i • Business Tax Receipts were issued to Island Woodwerx, Rocket Gym and Third Wave Coffee. • Sale and purchase correspondence regarding vacant property adjacent to Center Street was forwarded to property owners. The property has a long and narrow shape with a utility easement roughly down the center. The City would like to purchase this property at appraised value in order to construct stormwater improvements to further protect the Indian River Lagoon. Upon City Council and owner approval, grant funding would be utilized to construct the stormwater improvements. • The Space Coast Transportation Planning Organization (SCTPO) Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan Steering Committee is hosting a series of public meetings to gather input and public comment on walking and biking improvements in Brevard County.

And now, as the world prepares to celebrate the 501' anniversary of mankind's first steps on the moon, the City of Cape Canaveral celebrates 50 years of the world knowing its name. Prior to the 1960s, this small coastal community was virtually unknown to all but locals, fishermen and the army of aerospace workers that were busy putting the"space" in"Space Coast." So not surprisingly, the City of Cape Canaveral is taking this anniversary seriously - and because the legacy of man's first steps on the Moon cannot be summed up in a single day's parade, the City has decided to celebrate this anniversary with a series of public art projects, Community events, youth activities and more, all counting down to that memorable morning in July. Stay tuned to the City's website and official social media pages for updates and join us as we celebrate our Community's unique vantage point in mankind's journey to the moon. .....................................

H%(,, (Itv is ,,IArtworlifor ,,,I !�Nl("w (Ivk, U'ro J Like many municipalities, the City of Cape Canaveral is looking to revamp the drab and defaced traffic control cabinets along its major thoroughfares. To help with this, the City has issued a Call for Artists, inviting artists to submit designs that will be utilized to wrap the cabinets at selected intersections throughout the City. Many of which are located at highly visible comers along North Atlantic Avenue and SR AIA. To make this public art project uniquely Cape Canaveral, it is part of the 4SummerOfSpace celebration, commemorating the 50th anniversary of the moon landing - a noteworthy historical event with indubitable ties to the City. Submitted designs must reflect Cape Canaveral's role in the history of space exploration and the 50th anniversary of the moon landing. This competition is open to artists of all ages and no residency restrictions apply. The deadline for submissions will be Monday, January 28, 2019.

With that said, "lock your doors" is a Crime Prevention Message we hear on a regular basis, but often think doesn't apply to us because we live in a safe community. Unfortunately, today's thieves target neighborhoods across the state and country looking for just one thing...cars that have been left unlocked. Once inside they steal anything and everything, including computers, electronic items, briefcases, wallets, firearms, keys to other vehicles and even your garage door opener. Some of the perpetrators are so bold they use the garage door opener to gain entry into your house while you and your family are asleep inside. The good news, is that locking your car �`� r" doors in one of the easiest and fastest ways to protect yourself against becoming crime's next victim. By locking your car door in your front yard you are making yourself a hard target and not an easy one for today's criminals. While you don't have to go to the extreme like the car in the photo, taking two extra seconds to lock your doors keeps you from being a victim and sends criminals away angry, disappointed and empty handed.
