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.

Intermediate Pump Station Improvements Staff is reviewing a consultant's proposal for the design of improvements to the intermediate lift station located at the WRF. This lift station is of insufficient capacity and overflows during excessive influent flow (e.g., during and after hurricanes or tropical storms). This project will include installing a new diesel engine driven bypass pump which will operate when the existing pumps do not start due to high influent levels in the wet well. Installation of Drum Screen and Tertiary Filters at WRF Staff is reviewing a consultant's proposal for the design of a drum screen and tertiary filters at the WRF. Replacing the existing screen with a drum screen will reduce the number of rags and The general election will take place November 6,2018.

Relocation/Rebuild of Lift Station No. 5 Staff is reviewing a consultant's proposal for the design of improvements to Lift Station No. 5 located in front of the middle building at Treasure Island condominium. The project approach is to obtain an easement in the grass-covered area to the east of the middle building and construct a new lift station. Residents have complained about noise from the lift station for years; old equipment at the site is located in underground vaults and requires excessive maintenance.

Before enjoying the public transportation in a foreign city or country, take a moment to consider these important travel safety tips. Look for an official badge or permit • A legitimate taxi driver or bus driver will have a badge displayed, so take a quick look around before you get in the vehicle and feel free not to get in if you don't see one. When you do spot a badge, check out the picture and be sure it looks like your driver. • In the U.S. taxi drivers display their permits, but you might have trouble figuring out how to tell whether a taxi or bus is official in a foreign country. • Ask the concierge at your hotel or a local police officer whether the local taxi and bus companies require employees to display badges. They can tell you what to look for. Take note of logos and colors • Take note of the logos and colors of local taxis and buses even if you don't need one immediately. This will help you spot the ones that are legitimate and those that are fake later. Fake cabs have been used by criminals to part you from your money in several ways. In some regions, fake cabs are used to kidnap tourists. • Know which are the legitimate taxis and buses to avoid getting taken for a dangerous ride. Stay awake and alert at all times • You may be tempted to read a book, check your messages, or take a quick nap on public transportation,but that's the perfect way to have your wallet, camera, backpack and other stuff stolen. Plus, you could end up in a strange place at the end of the bus line with no way to get back if you sleep too long! The general election will take place November 6,2018. Visit www.votebrevard.com or www.cityofcapecanaveral.org/election • Stay awake and alert no matter how tired you are. This is true when you're in a taxi as well— your driver could be just as dangerous as a common criminal. Keep close control over your bags and packages • Just like at the airport, it's essential to keep close control over your bags and packages if you are to keep them in your possession. This is especially important if you have several bags or packages, or if everyone on the bus or train has similar bags. It's easy for a thief to switch out an empty one that looks just like yours when all the bags come from the same retailer. • Bunch your bags between your feet or close on the seat beside you when you're sitting, and keep hold of them when you're standing. Know where you are going • It's an easy trap to fall into: you tell the driver where you are going and he or she takes you there, but the driver isn't responsible for you and could even have their own malicious agenda in mind. • Knowing where you are going by having a map and paying attention to the route will help you protect yourself. Get off the bus if it gets too crowded • When people are pressing in all around you, it's harder for you to watch and protect your belongings. Crowds are not a traveler's friend—in fact, they can make it far easier for pickpockets and thieves to do their dirty work and escape quickly. • If things are getting too crowded, get off the bus at the next well-lit stop and wait for a less crowded one. Be wary of sharing • Sharing a cab is a common way to save a little money, but sharing a cab with a stranger can leave you in a bad spot. It's a common scam in some places: you share a cab with a person who leaves behind a little contraband. Soon after, a fake cop stops your taxi and the stuff is discovered. You may be searched, arrested, robbed or even taken to a fake police station where your identification is swiped and sold over the Internet. • Sharing a cab is fine with friend,but not with strangers, no matter how kind they are. The general election will take place November 6,2018. Visit www.votebrevard.com or www.cityofcapecanaveral.org/election Know how to call for emergency help • Sure,we all know to call 911 in America,but every country has a local emergency number that's different. Knowing the number to dial can make the difference. If your guidebook doesn't have it, ask the receptionist at any hotel.
