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 café 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. • re you #HurricaneReady?

Wellness Ways to Manage the Holiday Blues (Source: Mutual of Omaha Employee Assistance Program) As the holidays approach, you may be telling yourself, "This year will be different," or"I'm going to eat less, drink responsibly, spend wisely and enjoy the season more."Yet, things don't always seem to work out that way. Family conflicts, hectic schedules, limited financial resources, stress and loneliness can contribute to your disappointment, especially if you have expectations of a storybook holiday season. One way of managing this time of year is to maintain balance and a sense of perspective. Here are some tips on how to achieve that balance. • Set limits for yourself. Budgeting, planning and saying"no" are effective ways to stay in control. • Be realistic with your expectations. Lower your expectations to make the holidays more manageable. For example, ask yourself, "Do I really need to bake and personally decorate all • re you #HurricaneReady? Make a plan! - Visit www.citvofcanecanaveral.org/hurricane 4 the holiday cookies?"Be resourceful and delegate some of your tasks. Ask for help from others instead of trying to do it all yourself • Avoid competing with others. Do what you think is best for you and your loved ones, financially, socially and otherwise. Appreciate and enjoy what others are doing, but avoid comparing yourself to them. • Examine your holiday lifestyle. Healthy living reduces stress. Monitor your sleep, exercise, eating and drinking patterns. Moderating your behavior may enhance your enjoyment of the holidays. • Avoid emotionally negative experiences. Keeping your distance from potentially negative individuals can help you manage the blues. If certain family members habitually argue, disagree or complain, limit the amount of time you spend with them. • Surround yourself with loving, caring people. Whether it's family, friends, neighbors or co-workers, spend meaningful time in fellowship, fun and supporting one another. • Experience the gift of giving. Participate in Community activities,volunteer or donate to charities. Share your actions and experiences with your children and grandchildren as an learning opportunity.

Atlantic Avenue Initial tasks include drainage, lighting, sidewalk, curbing and crosswalk improvements at each intersection. Initial surveying was already completed. Extensive maintenance of traffic (MOT)will be in place and lanes on both SR AlA and City-owned side streets will be intermittently closed to vehicular traffic. Sidewalks will also be intermittently closed to pedestrians. This project has been delayed several months due to the lack of availability of galvanized steel mast arms. Project funding is through Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT).

Setting security and safety expectations with your children should start at a young age and should be reinforced through direct communication and lifestyle observations. Remember, you're the best example for your children. But how do you teach them to be safe without scaring them? Here's a look at some effective ways to inform your children on safety issues while simultaneously instilling good security habits that will stick with them for a lifetime. Young Children Toddlers and younger adolescent children can be taught a wide range of safety information they can implement and accomplish with little to no difficulties. These include: • Picking up toys around the house so they aren't tripping hazards • Securing bicycles and other outside toys • Learning how to lock deadbolt locks • Knowing knives, scissors and other kitchen utensils are off limits without an adult • Knowing that answering the door or phone can only happen with an adult present • Taking extra caution in bathrooms,pools and other places with wet surfaces • Learning the quickest path out of the house from wherever they are in the event of an emergency Nearly every event of a child's young life is a learning experience for them and a teaching experience for parents. At this age, children respond to repetition and reinforcement of these and other common sense approaches to safety and security. Take the time and make the effort to instruct for optimal results. letir • re you #HurricaneReady? Make a plan! Visit www.citvofcanecanaveral.org/hurricane 4 Older Children Older adolescents and"tweens" are more socially active today than their parents were at their age. Unfortunately,their lack of real-world experience leaves them at a severe disadvantage compared to those people who mean to harm them or otherwise exploit their naïveté. In addition to the information above, children at this age should be thoroughly instructed on issues including: • Not divulging personal information on social media sites or in chat rooms • Not posting family vacation plans on social media networks • Not posting vacation photos online until you and your family return from the trip • Not advertising when anyone is home alone or when parents are out for the evening • Learning how to solve problems around the house, like how to douse a grease fire in the kitchen • Knowing how to turn off the water main and the main power to the house, if old enough • How to arm and disarm the home security system Children of this age need to be lovingly taught how to be safe online and in their homes. This age group's willingness to publicly divulge private family information,paired with their lack of understanding of the potential downside of letting strangers know these things, can lead to home burglaries or other problematic scenarios you can do your part to help avoid. Teenagers In addition to all of the above information, you can add some home safety responsibility to the lives of your teenagers. Teens can be responsible for arming and disarming home security systems, including using smartphone and tablet apps provided by most home security companies. Teens can also be helpful with teaching, instructing and encouraging the younger children in your home to be as safe as they can and to think of security issues as often as possible. Around the house, teens can be involved in the installation of a do-it-yourself home security system, if that's what you decide to go with. Or, if you opt for a professionally monitored service, you can have them be present when it's installed so they learn about potential security weaknesses, like ground-level windows,unsecured garage doors and dark areas that need motion sensor lights on you r ,erty. • re you #HurricaneReady?
